The past season had some good moments and some not-so- good moments, along with a few memorable contests. There were disappoint- ments and there were pleas- ant surprises. The Bantams fall into the latter category on the strength of their all- Ontario tournament appear- ance, while the PeeWees fall into the former. The Bantams edged out Minesing in a tough three game series to gain entry into the final tournament in New Hamburg, near Kitch- ener. The deciding game of that round was played in front of a healthy sized Port Perry crowd that was quite pleased when the home town boys pulled off a 7-5 win. They had a hard time of it though, leading 7-1 going into the final inning before out- fielder Harry Bolton made a routine catch to end the game. Port took the opener of the series at home and dropped the second contest in Mine- sing. And who says home field advantage doesn't mean anything? The softball bantams became the first -team-:in- Port Perry sports, since the Bantam hockey team, to go as far as an all-Ontario final. It would seem to suggest that these boys-Mark Goreski, Ken Harman, Brian Steven- son, John Vaz, Jeff John- stone, and Steve Lee--who were on both winners, have that victory instinct so necessary to upper echolon athletics. Probably the most disap- pointing team in the PPDMSA was the PeeWee MoJacks. They won two games all season in the York-Durham league and they were beaten by two lopsided scored in the first Ontario Amateur Softball Association playoffs. They were a topic of discussion at the most recent Executive meeting where it was stated that they might have been better off playing house league at home. The PeeWees did show a pair. of promising young athletes in infielder Craig Menzies and centerfielder Lee Wilbur. Both are good hitters and excellent fielders. The MoJacks did regain some lost prestige in their final season appearance beating some small town teams in the Omemee tourn- ament. The most entertaining soft- ball team in Port this year was the Men's team. They were eliminated in the third OASA series after dropping two one run ball games to Elmvale. In the second game of that round, Port Perry opened up "a big 60 lead early and looked assured of victory following Kevin Walker's home run over the fence near the scoreboard. But Walker faultered on the rubber in the last two innings, allowing Elmvale to escape with the series and a 6-5 win. In previous rounds, Port ousted Claremont in a trying X-country results Six out of seven competi- tors from Port Perry High School finished their pre- scribed distances in a Cross Country running meet for Lake Ontario Secondary School Association schools at Camp Samac, Oshawa on Thursday, September 25. Kelly West turned in the best Rebel performance, finishing sixth overall in the Midget Girls 3,000 metre run. She was followed by team- mates Suzanne Holly and Gianna Raffin. David Fulford finished eleventh and was followed closely by Shawn MacKenzie who ended up fifteenth in the Midget Boys event. Scott Arculus watched 26 runners cross the finish line ahead of him in the same event. The only non-midget runner on the team, Senior Dan Millar, did not conclude the 6,000 metre race.

In the second round they overwhelmed the Goodwood Seniors in two straight frays. And speaking of Goodwood Port Perry Men entered a tournament there in August, and engaged the Centennial Park Scorpians of Toronto in a 23 inning marathon before losing. Walker was making his return following a long layoff forced by arm problems and he was near flawless for over 22 frames. He tired in the last canto and loaded the bases before left- hander Ken Irvine came in. Noted for his control, Irvine was not sharp and he concluded the game in a big hurry by walking in the winning run. Irvine was a good acquisi- tion for the Port Perry pitch- ing staff. He came along at a time when Walker was hurt- ing and Phil Cochrane was using opposition bats for target practice. He jelled at just the right time, winning all four of Port's VASA victories. Port is playing Pontypool Generals in the league final - after disposing of a surpris- ingly stubborn Janetville team in the semis. If the PeeWees were a disappointment and the Bantams a pleasant surprise then the Midgets and Juveniles have been middle of the road items. Both played in a tough Brady Division of the Oshawa City and District league and were not competitive. The Juven- iiles ended up in last place, cushioning the fall for the Midgets who were a notch above them in the standings. Both teams took opening round victories, the Midgets in epic fashion. Mark Jeffrey tripled in the bottom of the ninth and Pete Christie drove him home with the winning run of the third game at Port Perry. It ended the most bitterly contested series that any Port team was involved in Three charged over charged by Durha ional police Sunday afternoon with stealing firewood from a Blackstock property owner.

The Midgets took on a powerful team from Syden- ham in the next round and were kayoed in two straight, the second game a hard 3-2 loss on a strong Jeffrey pitching performance. The Port Midgets ran up against. tough teams in the Midget elimination tourney held here in July and, after losing to Jordan and Alder- wood, were eliminated. That tourney was a huge success, one of the brightest spots of the summer, and the Bin- brook team that was crowned as champions here went on to win the Canadian title in Prince Edward Island. The Juveniles were anoth- er team that took the opening OASA round, almost by default really. They beat a hapless Schomberg unit in two games and then took only a pair of matches to lose out to Minesing in the next time around. There were some bright spots for the juveniles. Pitcher Tim Thompson was strong all season long, and was lauded by Coach Bob Knapp for his work in the playoffs. First baseman Bob Ireland provided top flight defence and timely hitting before he resigned near the end of the year. Neither Ireland nor Thompson had played the season before. The Juven- iles also had power hitter George Burnett for roughly half the year. The only Port team to win the York-Durham league was the Squirts. They were named winner for their zone but were defeated in the second OASA round. Everything considered, the season went very smoothly for the local soft- ball afficianodos.
