Gamblers battle both Bradford and weather The past week saw the Greenbank Gamblers travel to Bradford on Wednesday to meet the Sox and a scheduled en- counter with Bramalea in Greenbank on Thursday. The Bradford game was played but the weather- man did not co-operate as rain forced cancellation of the Thursday night matchup. In Bradford the Gam- blers opened up an early lead as they plated a run in both the first and sec- ond innings. But Bradford pitcher Randy Underwood settled down and going into the sixth inning the score was still only 2-0 for Greenbank. But in the sixth the Gambler bats started get- ting good wood on the ball and after scoring three more runs the Sox re- moved Underwood from the mound in favor of Jackson. On Jackson's first pitch Bryon Baranie- ski belted a lone drive two run homer and Brian Till followed with another home run to make the score 8-0. In the bttom of the sixth Bradford fought back with three runs of their own but Baranieski bore down and finished the game with no further scoring. Baranieski allowed six hits and struck out eight in a solid pitching perfor- mance. For Greenbank Greg Newell, Chris Burkholder, Rich Burkholder and Don Beaton each had a pair of hits with Baranieski and Brian Till each with a home run. This week the Gamblers go to Markham on Mon- day and host the Oshawa Juveniles at Ianson Park at 8 p.m. Thursday.

Meanwhile the Pick- ering pitchers gave up a total of 18 walks and 27 hits which led to a lot of runs.
