WEST This week's sports report for the Juvenile Merchants Fast- ball team is sponsored by Clas- sic Hot Dogs, XL. Gas, Haugens and Williamson GM. This week, the Merchants played only one game in the Oshawa and District Mens League and it turned out to be a very successful evening. Not only did the Port team beat the highly successful Oshawa Juve- niles team, which has come out on top of every Port-Oshawa match this year, but it also was Richard Brough's first pitching outingin three years. The score was 0-0 until the top of the fourth when Moase t on with a single and was riven in on a two-out home run by Vander Slagt. Unfortunate- ly, Timms was left stranded at third since the pitching duel be- tween Brough and Sharp was allowing few hits, which made runs a scarcity in the game. In the bottom of the fifth, Em- pringham led off the inning with a single and was moved over to third when an attempt- ed bunt by Shrigley caused an errant throw to first, leaving runners at third and second with none out. Laird, on a ground-out to first, was able to drive in the run for an all impor-' tant 3-Olead. This entertaining game was full of sparkling defensive plays which the Merchant fans have been used to in the past. The win in itself was satisfying, but the knowledge that the Mer- chants can beat the Oshawa Juveniles, a team which they will face in the eliminations, was even more important. Brough pitched seven strong innings, striking out three, walking two, and allowing only three hits and no earned runs. Hitters for the week: Brough - single, Empringham - single, Laird - RBI, Moase - single, Timms - single, Vander Slagt - home run, two RBI. The schedule for the next two weeks will be: Tuesday, July 4 Bowmanville vs Merchants 8:30 p.m.; Thursday, July 7 Merchants vs Scarborough Roy- als doubleheader 7 and 9 p.m.; Thursday, July 14 game has been cancelled since the town of Port Perry will be hosting the doubleheader between Sioux City, Iowa and the Toronto Ga- tors. : The Junior Elimination Games will be held in Oshawa on July 8, 9, 10 with 37 teams > Merchants top strong Oshawa Ie team for first victory of season registered.

The Angels came the closest to beating Chinguacosy which says some- thing for our girls. Angels strike fast for 7th win The Scugog "Angels" went to Oshawa last Tuesday and came away with their seventh win, this time downing the Oshawa Jr. twos 14-1. Angela Davis pitched the first four innings before giving way to Cheryl Vaughan in the fifth, as they split the duties on the mound in their first three games.
