The win gave Greening the _best-of- five semi-final series, three games to one. The final game was a see-saw affair in which the lead changed hands several times. Dollartown had leads of 6-1 and 15-12 at dif- ferent times and were leading by two going into the bottom of the seventh. Bill Gidley led off with a double, but John Jones and Peter Jorgensen both popped for two quick outs. This set the stage for Glenis Mullings to deliver a clutch two-out double to drive in Gidley, and later he scored himself when Saints cen- trefielder Darryl Bates overthrew the cut-off man and the ball went @ Cont'd from pg.

In a controversial call, Glenis was awarded two bases and scored the tying run. It proved to be a costly error as the next batter David Durtnall, popped up to send the game into extra innings. Ed Hubbard was the winning pitcher, and even though he got off to a slow start he hung up six straight innings of shutout ball to finish the game, Joe Crosato came on in the third inning for Dollartown and took the loss. Joe pitched well, but fell victim to errors which cost his squad the game. Glenis Mullings was the offensive star for Greening as he con- nected for a grand slam home run to go with his seventh inning show to help Hubbard to victory. Dollartown picked up home runs from Perry '"'Red" Lepage and Darryl Bates in the game. In the opening game of the series, Dollartown shocked a Greening team which had won 22 straight ball games by edging them 11-9. Greening had the tying runs on second and third with two out in the seventh when Bob lined out to shortstop Keith Sager. Gidley had driven in two runs with a triple earlier in the game. Dollartown's Joe Crosato hurled a fine game to pick up the win. Bill Murray cranked a three-run homer to straight away centre field in the first inning to give Dollartwon the lead they never relinquished. Darryl Bates also chipped in with a two- run round-tripper. A costly error by substitute shortstop Peter Jorgensen, usually the cen- trefielder, had opened the gates for five runs in the fourth inning which probably cost pitcher Ed Hubbard the loss. The second game saw Greening bounce back for a 12-6 victory to even the series. Hubbard pitched exceptionally well for the win as his defense gave up an_-- un- customary six errors. Bill Gidley's two-run triple spurred a five-run second inning that gave Greening the lead for good. In the third game Greening seemed to be on top of their game as they 'hammered the Saints 19-4 to take a 2-1 lead in. the series' pivotal game. Ed Hubbard again pitched the win and had a shutout going until the bottom of the seventh when Dollartown scored their four runs. Third baseman Darrell Gibbon's single with two aboard broke' the shutout. Offensive stars for Greening were Bill Gidley, who went five for five and had a hot series at the plate; Glenis Mullings, who had a two-run four- bagger and four RBI; and playing-coach Brian Duquette, who was four for four with four runs scored and four RBI. Dollartown's _ Keith Sager came close to a home run again but was thrown out at the plate on a relay from cen- trefielder Peter Jorgensen to second baseman Brian Duquette to catcher Keith Kennedy in a textbook play.
