Papa 4A Tim's-Advocate, September 19 1979 Sports Spotlight By ROSS HAUGH Season ends The 1979 season for the Dashwood Tigers came to a close Sunday afternoon, about two weeks earlier than the players would have liked. Despite the early ending, the Tigers enjoyed a very successful season. Their overall season record was 32 victories and only 11 losses. Manager Joe Fulop and all of the Tigers are to be congratulated on an excellent season. There is no need to be ashamed of losing to a club like Woodslee, strong in all departments. In the three game semi-final series Woodslee out- scored Dashwood by 17 runs to 13. Fall fever This is the time of the year when a lot of people get a fever. It's a fever that will last for about three weeks. Doctors can't do very much to relieve the fever, but, most complaintants will get relief for close to 12 months when the final game of the 1979 World Series is over. This malady is affecting more Canadians this year than ever before. It might just be that the Montreal Ex- pos have something to do with this problem. Seriously this is the first time Canadians have had even a remote chance of watching one of their own teams in a playoff or World Series. When this is being written, the Expos and Pittsburgh Pirates are tied for first place in the National East and Montreal has two games in hand, which if con- verted into victories are good for one full game, We would hope the Expos get at least an even split in the two early week games, with the Pirates. Their big problem could come in the two doubleheaders Wednes- day and Thursday with the Mets. The team with the best showing by their relief. pitchers will probably win the title and the Pirates appear to have a slight edge there. Getting back to baseball fever, we experienced just that 11 years ago when the Detroit Tigers were involved in the 1968 World Series. We spent four days in Detroit taking in the three home games at Tiger Stadium and it was probably the most baseball excitement we ever experienced. The same thing could happen in Montreal in a cou- ple of weeks and we certainly hope it does. Great Records The 1979 baseball season will probably be long remembered as the year two super stars reached the magic mark of 3,000 base hits. Turning the trick this year were Lou Brock of the St. Louis Cardinals and Carl Yastrzemski of the Red Sox. This brings the 3,000 hit total to 15. A year ago at this time, things looked pretty bad for Lou Brock. Then 39 years of age he was ap- proaching the end of the worst season of his long and distinguished career, which began in Chicago in 1961. Used very little in 1978, Brock had enjoyed little success and was to finish with only 63 hits and a batting averageof .221. He had wanted to close out his career by joining the select company of players who collected 3,000 major league hits. But that goal seemed impossible with 100 hits needed in the 1979 season to achieve that magic number. When Brock and the Cardinals went to spring training this year the odds were pretty long against any success. Brock himself declared this was to be his last year as an activer player,comewhat may. And so if 3,000 hits were to be collected he would have to do it right away. Do it, he did. Right from the opening pitch he hit with consistency maintaining an average well over .300. The way in which hecollectedhits No. 2,999 and 3,- 000 were typical of his season and career. Before a wild- ly roaring crowd of 44,000 at Busch Stadium who were there to see history made, Brock came through like the champion he is. Both hits were solid. The first a clean single to left and the second a hard drive off the pitcher's glove that nobody could field. We should point out that the 3,000 hit record was just another highlight in an already brilliant career. Brock set the modern major league base stealing record with 118 stolen bases in 1974 and is tops in modern day base thievers with more than 900. In addition, he holds many World Series records for batting and base stealing. His current World Series batting average is .391. We would like to pay tribute to both Brock and Carl Yastrzemski. Both are super stars and will likely be sure things for the Hall of Fame when they become eligible and we believe that is five years after their play- ing careers are over. Still playing here Despite all the interest in the Expos and the major league pennant battles, there is still good baseball left on the local front. The Exeter Saveway team is in good position to win the Southwestern Fastball Association cham- pionship. Saveway won the first game of a best-of-seven series Sunday night over Nairn. The third game of the series goes tomorrow night, Thursday at Exeter Com- munity park at 9 p.m. These teams are very well matched and one can be sure of exciting action for about an hour and a half. Did you know? That the first radio broadcast of a baseball game hit the airwaves through KDKA in Pittsburgh on August 15, 1921, The Pirates were playing the Philadelphia Phils. That the last time a Canadian Football League went undefeated during a regular season was back in 1948 when the Calgary StampederS accomplished that feat. The schedule at that time was orily 1.4 compared to the present 16'. The 1979 season for the Dashwood Tigers ended Sunday afternoon when they dropped a 6-4 decision to Woodslee. Sunday's contest was the third and deciding in a best of three series to decide which club would advance to the Ontario Baseball Association finals against Pembroke. After losing the first game in Woodslee by a score of 6-3, a week earlier, the Tigers bounced back on their home field Friday night to win 6-5 and force Sunday's sudden- death game. In Sunday's game, the Tigers started strong and looked as if they were a sure thing for this coming weekend trip to the OBA finals in Pembroke. They scored two runs in each of the first and third innings and held that 4-0 lead Hawks to practice The Exeter junior Hawks will begin their pre-season practice sessions Friday night at the Huron Park arena at 8 p.m. Coach Ron Bogart has received replies from 30 players who have indicated they would be attending workouts. He sent out a total of 34 invitations. Following practices are set for Sunday afternoon at 12:30 p.m., Wednesday, September 26 and Friday, September 28 at 8 p.m. and Sunday afternoon, Sep- tember 30 at 12:3() p.m. Lost to the Hawks this year because of overage are Randy Lovie, Ken Pinder, Phil Knight, Fred Mom- mersteeg Jr, Jamie Cald- well, Donnie McKellar and Steve Jennison. Fred Mommersteeg Sr. will be back again to handle the duties of manager.

The visitors chalked up two more runs in the sixth and added an insurance score in the seventh. In the Dashwood first, Barry Baynham drew a walk, Rob Dickey was safe on a sacrifice attempt on a Woodslee and both scored on singles by Glen Thurman and Dave Parsons. Rob Dickey singled in the Dashwood third and came around to score ahead of Jim Guenther as the Tiger first basemanslapped a home run over the right -centre field fence. That was the extent of the Dashwood hitting for the afternoon as they were shut off the rest of the way by Woodslee pitchers Ted Bachynski a nd Joe Chevalier. The latter came on in the seventh and held the Tigers at bay. Lefty John Bruijns was the Dashwood starter, He went the first five and one-third innings giving up five runs and nine hits. Perry Stover was sum- moned to the mound by manager Joe Fulop after Woodslee had taken a 5-4 lead. Stover allowed one run and four hits for the balance of the game. Lefties combine The two Tiger left handed pitchers combined to register Friday's close 6-5 victory. I AUTOMOTIVE RADIATOR Hi! ...

Singles by Jim Dietrich and Glen Thurman chased two more Tiger runs home in the third and Barry Baynham's sixth inning double scored John Hayter who had walked. A promising rally in the second inning failed to bring any runs home, Barry Baynham, Glen Thurman and Bob Hoffman singled, but, failed to score. The other Dashwood hit in the game was a single from the bat of Rob Dickey in the fourth frame. The game was dominated by left handed pitchers, Southpaw Ed Hogan went the distance for Woodslee, Despite their failure to reach the Ontario finals, the Tigers enjoyed a very successful season. Their season record stands at 32, wins and only 11 losses.
