Suffertng an ill-timed defensive lapie Sunday momning in L-ondon, the Red Sox coughed up a late lead and were trimmed 7-6 by host Lakeside in quarterfinal tour- nainent play. Lakeside, who knocked Milton ouIt(if OBA 'B' ehanipionship play last summer, capitalized on three errors 10 deliver the comeback victory. "We've got to find a way to beat these guys," stressed manager George Moore. "You jusl cant ma.ke mistakes like this against a veteran team." Adam Finkbeiner was fairly solid in a cotoplete-game effort versus Lakeside, but juil didn't have the lielding support he and fellow Red Sox pitchers have enjoyed more often than flot Ibis summer. Offensively, Jef Sommer highligbîed the Milton-Lakeside encounter with a bases clearing double, while Dwayne Jobnson and Pat Masîrrigiacomo had two bits apiece. Moore suggested is team's quarterlinal exil may bave bad something to do wiîb a 'bit too easy' round-robin campaign, wbicb included back-to-back tïve-run miercies.

Also standing out with two-hit efforts were Reese Davies and Chris Coughlin. From there, Milton dumped Essex 10-0, thanks t0 a strong complete-game showing by Adam Ahearn and a three-run triple by Johnson that put things oui of reach in the 1fifth. Multi-hit campaigns by Andrew Coe and Matt McCandless rounded oui the mis- match. The Red Sox, 9-l1) in league play, are now hatîling Oakville and Dundas for a relu rip tn the Ontario 'B' champi- onships. T'hey have nine gaines left, înclud- ing tonight's clash with hosi Etobicoke. Milton closes ouI the wcekend with a Sunday attemoon game in Dundas.

The contest's suspense factor disappeared early, wit a 6-0 Mavericks Iead established before Utc end of te first period. Miltoni even held tce upper hand in tce discipline depart- ment, taking just 10 minutes in penalties 10 K-W 2's 24. Scott Stover led offensively wit two goals and utree assists, wbile Jeremny Price was close hehind wit two goals and a pair of helpers. Doug Kay alto stood out with a bat-trick, with Ryan Willia.ms talying twice and a two-assist contribution given by Chris Crosscy.
