THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 1978 Sports Almost every ball team can talk a bout the one bad inning that cost them a ball game. Well in the case of Little Bowl one bad in- ning did cost them a pa ride big inning to victory andtie playoff playoff game .against McGee Pontiacs. The Pontiacs scored six runs in the third inning and defeated Little Bowl 6-3 to even up -Their best - of -three series at one game apiece. The third anti deciding game of that_ series will be played Sunday at 7:15. With the scoreless after game two in- nings of play McGees scored six runs on six hits in the, top of the third inning and it was all they needed to win the ball game. Ironically they were held hitless through the six other innings by Tourney tales The Goderich Industrial League fastball tournament is a class sporting event that at- tracts top calibre softball and fan support to four exciting days at Agriculture Park. But the tournament is only as good as the diligent efforts of the 'people' behind it and the industrial League and their ecutive can be proud of the 10 tournament yeas behind them. Each one gets better. This year's tournament co-chairmen were Gerry Pitre and Jim Bell and they would like to _...''ex gel> -that s 4-4- he—tri'eftwlaci cker ,. behind the scenes who make the tournament possible. Those people were Doug Currie, draws; Gerry Durst and Frank MacDonald, scoring; Ray Donnelly, schedule; Jim Durst, diamond; Ron Ritchie, gate; Bill Kirkey, Treasurer, John Hoy, Arn Parker and Greg Hanson, refresh- ments and Doug Fisher, public relations. Assuredly they were a tired crew Monday night. ' ,, + + + The A division produced some slick defensive exhibitions, good pitching and equally ..fine _hit- ting and tournament executives were put to a test in selecting the most valuable and sport- smanlike players. But the selections were good ones. Keith Helps, Petrolia shortstop was selected the most valuable player in the A division. The rangy shortstop; whose defensive play and throwing arm were unrivalled in the tourney also batted .425 to lead his team to the championship. His remarkable catch of a line drive-in the.final game that resulted in a double play when London was threatening was probably the turning point in that game. Bill Fairbairn, coach of London Ted Dilts was selected as the division's most sportsmanlike player. The choice again was a popular selection - arid one Thgers011 umpire" comriiented-that- itwas the best choice the tournament executive could have made: +++ Talk about friendly neighbours. Tournament public relations director Doug Fisher had his daughter Shelley draw thewinning ticket for the' Grey Cup weekend. And when daughter Shelley presented the winning ticket to her father, he couldn't help but laugh. The winning ticket belonged to his neighbour Ray Donnelly_ But perhaps there is no one more deserving of the Grey Cup weekend than Don- nelly who has piloted the GDCI senior football team to several Huron -Perth championships since he began coaching at the school. And don't bet that Ray wasn't smiling Monday night. The loot includes two nights' ac- commodation at the Royal York Hotel and tickets to the Grey Cup game in Toronto. +++ Talk about dedication. • Tournament public relations director Doug Fisher, had to put aside his tournament duties occasionally to play for Fisher Custom Builders, one of four Goderich teams in the tournament. Well Fisher was pitching in one game when he was injured in the leg by a sliding player while covering at third base. The injury was extremely - painful, but Fisher, believing it to be a bad • bruise continued to pitch the remainder of the game. In a losing cause unfortunately. He also -watched part of the next game before going to hospital to have his l'eg checked. There he discovered the leg was broken and a cast was slapped on . That occurred on Saturday and Fisher 'was back at the ball park assisting the executive with presentations. Soccer bantams in semi-final The Goderich Culligan Bantam soccer team has advanced to-. the semi- final in the Sarnia -St. Clair Shores cup com- petition. Goderich gained a berth in the semi-final with a win and tie in two games. They defeated Grand Bend 2-1 on goals by Mark Webb and Dave McDonald and tied St. Clair Shores, 5-5. Goal scorers in that game were Randy Stoddard, Mike Hodges and Kent Scholtz. Both Stoddard and Scholtz played an excellent game against St. Clair Shores. The key game for Goderich should have been played last Satur- da but theDante t Good fan support would help the bantams along in their quest ' far the cup championship.

The win was the second straight for Gords as they won the opening game of the series 3-2. They now advance to the Maitland Division finals against the winner of the Little Bowl and McGee Pontiac series. Gords stung Fishers early with an awesome offensive. attack that produced 11 runs on 14 hits. After scoring a single run in the first inning they exploded for seven runs in the second inning and added a single in the third and two in the sixth.
