The third and deciding game of the series will be played at the air- port on Monday night at eight o'clock. The winners, who lost the first game of the series by a 1-0 score, overcame a 2-0 deficit with three runs in the second frame and they were never headed as they scored five runs in the third, six in the fifth and added three more in their half of the sixth frame. Crediton pitchers Gord Slaght and Joe Greene combined to strike out 12 Airmen hitters while allowing only five hits. Gord Diranne went all the way on the mound for the Airmen and was charged with the loss. Slaght aided his own cause in the free scoring contest by bang- big out a single and a two run homer in two official trips to the plate while Dick Coulter also picked up a pair of big blows, a double and a triple. Ron Dawe and Lloyd Mathers collected a pair of singles for the winners with Bob Hodgins belting a double and Al Flynn adding a single for the other Crediton hits. Thirdbaseman Al Josey led the Airmen at the plate with a double and a single while Neil Hatch, John Wludka and Moe Mustin add- ed a single each, team before bowing out to the champs 4-3 in an extra inning contest. Centralia edged Uplands 3-2 in their first game as ace hurler Leo Romain tossed a neat three hitter and then broke out to lace Kamloops 22-0 as four different batters picked up four hits each. In their third start the locals lost to Gimli, Manitoba after the westerners had capitalized on three Centralia errors. Cen- tralia's loss to Gimli set up the showdown game between Cen- tralia and Greenwood. Romain and Gervais of Green- wood hooked up in a close pitch- ing duel with Romain allowing two hits and three runs and Ger- vais giving up six hits and three runs through the first seven frames. Two bases on balls, a stolen base and a sacrifice fly set up the winning run and gave the easterner the title. Although Centralia didn't win the championship they carried off a good portion of the spoils including the best earned run average. Outfielder Carl Rey- nolds placed second in the bat- ting averages and the tourna- ment officials voted the Cen- tralia squad the best sportsmen of the tournament.
