Goderich 'SIGNAL- STAR 135 YEAR -37 :7 GODERICH, ONTARIO, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1983 SECOND SECTION Domtar tournament held here Goderich teams end up facing each other in the final Goderich had their bats swinging during the Fifth Annual Domtar Tournament held at Agricultural Park on Saturday. Goderich, who had 'two teams in the tournament, also had two teams in the finals. Goderich One, the team who had played in the tournament last year, was defeated by Goderich Two by a score of 3-1. According to Simon Langlois, one of the main organizers, they had so many men want to play this year that they had to make two teams. All players had to be Domtar employees. To start the tournament off, Goderich Two met Beachville, very easily taking an 11-1 victory. Beachville took the lead in the first inning when Gord Connan reached home on a double by Tom Walsh, but the rest of the game was all Goderich. With Rick Pettipas on base, Larry Gaynor hit a homerun, followed by runs scored by Barney Purser and Bob Morden. The following inning saw Dale Duncan, Rick Sowerby and Pettipas score one run apiece to widen their lead to 7-1. Dale Duncan, Neil Bieman and Leon Gaynor reached home while Dwight Williams scored one more run in the fifth. The game was stopped at this point because of the 10 run mercy rule, giving Goderich Two the victory. Goderich Two's next game was against Trenton, with all the scoring coming in the seventh inning. Goderich won 3-2. After six innings of defensive battling, the game picked up with Trenton scoring two runs. Jerry Denome, was put in the game for Goderich, and got on base as the next batter, Duncan, following his example. But it was Pettipas who drove the two runs in, and won the game by steeling home. With this win, Goderich Two advanced to the finals. Goderich One was also succesful in their first two games, defeating Caledonia 7-3 and Leaside 7-1. Goderich took a quick 1-0 lead in the first innning when pitcher Simon Langlois hit a single and then was brought home by Dennis Williamsons ground ball. No other runs were scored until the fourth inning when Caledonia's centre -fielder hit a homerun to even the score, But Goderich came right back with Williamson's triple, followed by Greg Beacon's homerun. Goderich finished up the scoring in the sixth inning when Williamson and Beacon hit singles and Wally Pierson walked. Ken Bowen hit a triple, driving in three RBI's. Mike Lajeunesse scored the final run for Goderich. Simon Langlois had 10 strick-outs. In Goderich's game against Leaside, it was Leaside opening the scoring in the first inning after Goderich left two men on base during their half of the inning. However, one run was all that Leaside was to score as Goderich had three runs in the third, three runs in the fourth and one run in the fifth, making the final score 7-1. The championship game was great for the home crowd as it was Goderich One facing Goderich Two. The eventual winner was Goderich Two by a 3-1 score. The game started out very close with both teams having two hits and scoring one run in the first inning. The second inning saw a pitchers duel with three up and three down for both teams. In the third inning Langlois made it to first for Goderich One but was left, right there. It was in the sixth inning that all of the damage was done to the Goderich One team, as Goderich Two got three hits. Scoring one each was Pettipas and Neil Bieman. Left on base was Rick Duck- worth. Langlois had a total of 12 strick-outs while Sowerby had eight. After the dinner was completed, awards were handed out to some of the more valuable players in the Domtar tour- nament.
