won one of heir three games in their a tournament in bramalea but were up against tough competition in their first game they dumped orleans 103 but they lost 41 to unionville and 106 to guelph kevin hackert and sonny acosta provided good pitching throughout the tournament for the mites we played probably as well as we could havesaid mites coach dave smart were really a b team in an a tournament and our hilling could have been better but he mites were strong on defence michael brett had a great double play as he hauled down a fly and fired to second to get the runner the miles also caught

their games stouffville lost a heartbreaker 107 to tournament finalist sim coe in extra innings down 31 after the first inning the pec wees rallied for four in the top of the seventh to take a 54 lead capped by a tim lavell tworun double but simcoe came back to tic it sending the game into extra innings the eighth was scoreless and stouffville took a 75 lead in the ninth thanks to a kevin nichols single simcoe scored a run in the bot tom of the inning and it got tense with the bases loaded twoout and two strikes on the simcoe batter but the simcoe hitter cracked a grand slam and finished off stouffville after such a tough loss the team found it hard to bounce back and lost 31 to host owen sound the pitching trio of jody infur- nari tim lavell and derek har rison had a strong weekend and the rotation kept the opposition off balance most of the time bantams the stouffville bantams had a tough weekend in simcoe as they lost 155 to owen sound and 97 to grimsby it was mostly mental errors said team manager gary fraser all the teams were about the same ability it just depended on who was up for the games the first game was close until the fourth inning the bantams even had the lead until the fourth when the score was tied at five but then the roof fell in and owen sound scored ten con- secutive runs to put the game j away against grimsby stouffville allowed six runs in the top of the j first and had to battle back the j whole game bill pride went 4for4 in the se cond game and basil luciano socked a home run we would have one bad inning and that would seem to set the trend fraser said midgets the midgets lost both their games in their tournament in hagcrsville their first game was tied until the sixth when their simcoe op ponents knocked in two runs to take a 31 score jamie showers had a double and scott evans hit a long triple against simcoe the hardthrowing evans couldnt be there for the second game against hagersville the midgets lost that one 63 chris winn
