However Wingham scored four runs in its half of ;the first and tinued to whittle away at score, eventually scoring the winning run on a single by Tim Currie in the last inning. The pitching duties were Shared by Currie and Peter Poulin who certainly gave a credible performance, es- pecially so early in the sea- son. Jason Bloemberg led the offense with a grand slam home run while Currie had a double and three singles. Paul Sakasov made an outstanding catch in centre field and played a very steady defensive game. Todd Chadwick showed his :defensive ability at both third base and in the outfield, making some nice plays.

Wingham's two fastball clubs are defeated in the season's openers By Peter Bauer Both the Wingham BPs and the Wingham Juniors suffered defeats in their season' openers against Palmerston in Bluewater Fastball League action. The BPs suffered a 5-1 defeat on the road last Wednesday night with Moe Wilson registering the win. The Wingham Juniors played host to Palmerston the following night and suf- fered a humbling 14-1 defeat. The Juniors, a new entry in the Bluewater league, will definitely be hard-pressed to finish with a winning record this season as they will face some stiff competition. Realistically, five wins on the season would be more -in line. Depending on their ex- pectations, they may find things disheartening at first, but the stiffer competition should help them when their own playoffs begin at the end of the season. Dave Harrow led off the second inning with a solid smash to left centre field and • rounded the bases before the relay . throw came to the plate, making it 1-0 midway through the second inning. Palmerston added two more in the third inning before the Juniors cashed in their only run of the game when- Rick Scrimgeour got aboard on a fielder's choice, made it to third when an attempted pick -off went astray, with the ball winding up in right field, and scored on a wild pitch. Palmerston added two benefit ball game to raise money for Silver Circle A whole afternoon of fun and games for the entire family is planned this Sunday afternoon at Riverside Park in Wingham as the staff from the local Zehrs supermarket take on Bridge results Tied for first place in last Thursday evening's duplicate bridge play were Jim Alcorn and Inez McGill with Louise Welwood and Yvonne McPherson.
