st tribune july 25 1990 p19 fastball bandits ready for markham showdown it was argued by die hard soc cer fans during the world cup earlier this summer that the most entertaining soccer games end up with scores of 10 or even 00 now that can be a difficult notion to swallow in a continent where hockey football and base ball moguls are forever trying to dream up ways to increase offen sive output in their games north americans it seems like to see points put up on the board basketball considered the sport in the eyes of some americans has more scoring than trees have leaves so it would appear that the game of fastball as in softball played by men who can chuck the 11 inch ball at amazing speed underhand may some day go the way of the dodo bird you see like soccer a barn burner of a mens fastball game is likely to result in a 10 or 00 final score fastball teams live and die by their pitching simply put unless youve got a flame thrower who can go out there and strike out 10 or more in a seven inning game youre in for a long and difficult season in uxbridge for now anyway fastball seems to have been replaced by baseball the same game the blue jays play with a hardball and pitch overhand except of course for the uxbridge bandits who like any other timeless institution just keep rolling along the bandits last years north durham mens fastball league champs are one of only two remaining adult fastballsoftball teams in the town their coun terparts are the precision auto ladies team who compete in the south lake simcoe loop the intermediate c bandits it seems have that quiet confi dence about them that veteran outfits often have especially veteran outfits which open the doors to the odd newcomer which was the case this year when the uxbridge club with a nucleus that has been together for a decade or so succeeded in attracting al heinzman to their side heinzman a pitcher who helped put the bandits out of the provincial title chase last season as a member of the port perry xl eagles is the kind of hurler who can put a lot of zeroes on the other teams scoresheet while adding a few numbers on his own teams with his potent bat when heinzman is teamed up with darryl norton the bandits other regular chucker what you have is a pitching tandem which can involve you in a lot of games similar to those goalstarved soc cer matches the bandits seem to be set on a collision course with another fastball institution the markham mennos last time we checked the mennos held down first ool the kool choice of the 1990s spring water stouffville only delivery included

said recently after a tough 21 loss to markham that he jhought the two teams would produce an entertaining league championship series the mennos have taken both league games between the two teams so far but the scores have been close the bandits however bested the markham crew in a tourna ment in mt albert last month and you have to know there is more significance in a tourna ment win than a regular season affair it will be a toss up for sure if the bandits and the mennos do square off for the league title and with fastball like any other type of ball being a game of breaks streaks and momen tum it will boil down to how hot the bandits bats are come playoff time the hitters in question here are paul graham gary brown grant carter barry and don fer guson rick shaw larry pilkey and heinzman if they get the bats going the bandits will be a force to reckon with and at the same time yake and his crew are preparing them selves for the intermediate c provincial playdowns as well the
