IGA Tykes get a taste of winning... by BURT MASON The Penetanguishene IGA Tykes are now convinced, early in their young season, that a come-from-behind victory is definitely much sweeter than any other win they have so far, especially when it comes against a strong Orillia Tyke team who visited McGuire Park on Sat. June 1, 1985 to play ball in a regular scheduled York-Simcoe league game. For the local team, it was one of those games that truly bring out the best in the boys and one that develops character and strong team spirit. Coach Mike Duval was beaming from ear to ear al the end of the game since he felt that his team had put in a solid effort with everyone making some_ con- tribution to the win. In the game, the IGA Tykes started slowly and fell behind in the first inning by a 3-1 score as the Orillia bats made good contact on Starter Tim Mason's pitches. Penetang was able to draw as close as Blue Angels wings not nipped by PAMSTORY Blue Angels continue their winning streak by flying by the Burgundy Babes by a score of 28-7.

Special mention must go had a_ double to the whole team because all the Devils played well. For the Black Widows Pat Cruise stopped just about any ball that came near the pitcher's mound spoiling numerous Devil hits. Karen Marion and Pat Robitialle picked a few fly ball out of the air that were sure hits for the Devils. Winner of the 50/50 was Shelley Billson. 3-2 in the bottom of the second, but the "roof fell in" on the team in the top of the third when they gave up six runs to Orillia due to some major mental errors on the field. Trailing by a 9-2 score, the team attempted their first rally of the game, but it fell short when the opposing pitcher was able to record three strikeouts to end the inning. With his team struggling to play catch- up baseball, Penetang pitcher Tim Mason battled bravely on the mound to hold Orillia to only one run in the top of the fourth. Orillia had a 10-2 lead in the game, bul in the bottom of the fourth the IGA Tykes took full advantage of - : Orillia's pitching lapse. A total of eight walks were credited to the team and slowly .the boys began _ their comeback. A timely double by Donald Pauze helped to clear the bases thus allowing Penetang to take the lead that they would never relinguish in the game. The score was now 12-10 heading into the eventual last inning. Coach Duval decided to make a pitching change which proved to pay dividends for the club as Brian Duval came in to relieve Mason who then caught for Duval. Duval's pitching sparked his club as he pitched ex- tremely well as he retired the side after only facing four Orillia 1. x Cathy, Fran, and 'Petra' Penetang-Midland Women's Hockey League President, Cathy Dennis and Ontario Women's Hockey Association "Petra" President, Fran Rider, are pictured batters. After walking the first man he faced, he was able to get the next two batters to ground out to him as he and Shawn McConkey combined their talents. The side was retired after cat- cher Tim Mason made a perfect throw to third baseman Scott Cum- mings who tagged out the Orillia base runner who was attempting to steal the base. The momentum of the game had now switched and the IGA Tykes blanked Orillia in the top of the fifth and were able to maintain their 12-10 lead. In the bottom of the fifth, the local boys, realizing that a two run lead was not enough, went to work and scored four more holding the local group's emblem which was designed by League member, Patty Beausoleil. while Alice - Gulf \ JZ Stewart's Service Station 122 Main St., Penetang 549-7612 Mufflers lifetime guaranteed Come in for your FREE MUFFLER INSPECTION TODAY 6:30 p.m. Their next home game will be Thrus.
