Leading 4-3 going into the last®- frame, Whitby was hanging on the ropes as Cobourg uncorked a two- run rally to forge ahead 5-4 before the game was called because of darkness. It went down in the re- cord books as an eight inning duel. What could have been tieing and winning tallies were made when with Cobourg runners on second and third, D. Goody grounded to Gord Neil, Whitby . hurler, who threw the ball past first base. Both runners scored on the play. ~ Whitby jumped into an early lead in the first frame when Bernie Tu- ransgy beat out a bunt to first and then stole second. Loreno doubled, sending Turansky home, and then stole third. He crossed the plate af- or McGregor lofted a long outfield v ~The local club added another pair in the third by virtue of stalwart batting by Loreno and McGregor. With or» down Loreno poked out a triple and then scored when Mec- Gregor laced out another three- bagger. Ken McDonald hit safely to send McGregor home, giving Whitby a 4-1 lead, The visitors scored one run in the third, added another in the seventh, one more in the eighth, before bang- ing their two belated runs in the ninth. Both sides used two hurlers, Gord Neil taking over from Ken "Mc- Donald in the eighth for Whitby, and Harret replacing Kilough for Cobourg.
