Aim Lock takes championship by a run After years of having the favourites fall by the wayside, 1999 proved to be the year of the favourite. Both division winners met in tise recent slow piteh grand finale and put on quite a show, with Ain Lock eventually winning by a single run against Wally's Meats. Both Aim Lock and Wally's Meats had an adventuresoiie time getting to the final. AMm Lock started out by getting quite a scare from Primus. Going into the ninth înning of round one, Primus held a two-run lead before Aim Lock engineered a fierce finish and came away with a three-run winiier. AMm Lock's next opponient, Bruce Hood, manaLeed to shut clown a second straight rally by getting slugger Wayne Nikolîch to fly out to deep centre with the bases boaded and record a two-run triumph. Wayne and the boys wouldn't be aide- tracked for long, however, as they rebounded with convincing wins over the Waltzing Weasel, The Legion and Halton Pool to reach the chainpionship gaine. Wally's Meats stumbled early as well, losing to last place Brancier's 9-4 in their playoff opener. But this proved to be a wake-up caîl - not their downfall -as Wally's Meats went on to romp the Key Centre, ReMax and The Dickens before they had to face Division B runner-up Maitland Spencer Engineering. With a tie gamne going into the bottoro of the ninth, Wally's secured Oive runs to put them- selves in the finals. The titie tilt featured an early explosion, with the two tearas trading seven-nin mer- cies in the second inning. Aim Lock's Mike Morgan continued to lead the way, going deep twice, while teammate Nikolich added one diniger. Pierre DeBie went 4-for-4 at the plate. Airo Lock's Carlo Vimini madle wha many considered the best catch this seasor with a diving backhanded snag in the ninti to help preserve the win. This cami moments before teain sponsor Nikolicl recorded the final out to clinch the gold. In the consolation finals, Primus haro mered ReMax 15-5. Senior Royals eyeing perfect regular season. By STEVE LeBLANO The Champion Upgrading goals is quickly becomning a habit this fail for the senior football Royals. First, Bishop Reding aimed for a division two playoff spot - and once that task was accomplished they set sights on gaining home-field advantage for opening round play. Having successfully tackled this challenge earlier in the week, the local boys are now shnoting for an undefeated regular tesson - amazingly enough, in just their second year on the gridiron. They could realize this fantastic feat today ait home with a vic- tory over Burlington Central. Meanwhile, Oakville Trafalgar - the only other unheaten team in division two - will be in town this aftemnoon to fsce the rebuilding Milton District Mustangs. Both gaines start at 3:30 p.m. BR - for the second time in five days - used late heroics to keep their winning ways going, battling back in the final few minutes to edge Burlington's Lord Elgin Lancers 14-13 Tuesday. Mike Long sparked the rally by intercepting a pass at mid-field and running it back 20 yards. Then Joel Petkoff, who'd shown flashes of brilliance through the initial stages of the year, took over and drove the reat of the way into the end-zone with a hand- fuI of impressive camres. Quarterback Jodie St. John provided the comeback's finishing touch - connecting on a two-point convert throw to Dan McBride. The Lancers dominated their hosta early on and led 10-0 at the haif, thanks in large part to a huge initial drive that featured two dozen plays and ste up the entire first quarter. St. John got his team on the score sheet in the thîrd quarter with a short touchdown pass to Ivan Bosnjak. Reding's defense intensified their efforts clown the stretch and managed to neutralize their opponents' running game. Long led with nine tackles on the day while coming up with his finest per- formance this year was Matt Ishoy. Tuesday marked the first gaine this season in which the local tesm gave up double digit points. Depending on today's outcome, they'll host either the third or fourth place squad in round one next Friday, Oct. 29. Nf victori- ous, they'll advance to the semnifinals on November 5. Halton's division two championship gaine is slated for November 12. 'Stangs still winless The Milton Mustangs were offlcially eliminated from the play- offs Tuesday - when they were blanked 28-0 by visiting Burlington Central. MD, 0-5 with one gaine left to play, had their biggest offensive outburst of the tesson against Lord Elgin last Friday. Their 48-16 tbaos featured an impressive air strike by pivot John Melito, who iconnected on several passes including a lengthy touchdown ithrow to Ryan Groom. e Rusher Ian Robinson delivered the other major, his fourth in as h many gaines. The 'Stangs had little penetration on the outside and were killed on the swecp. Unheaten Oakville-Trafalgar provides the competition today, which offers little hope for the locals to end their losing skid.
