Randy Gilfillan Roosters capturemens division title LUCAN - After playing eight games of slo-pitch baseball 'last weekend, no one could blame any of the players of the Lucan Roost- ers for complaining about tiredness and sore muscles. But it was all worth it as the men's squad from Lucan and area held on to a 9-5 vic- tory. over Station Park of London and then won the 'D' division at the Sportsplex tournament in Lon- don. It wasn't an easy road to the title for the Roosters. With the superb pitching of Robert Pipe who pitched all eight games allowing only three walks, the Lucan squad came up with five runs in the top of the seventh inning and held on for a narrow 11-10 win over Woodstock Good Time Charlies. After defeat- ing Station Park 17-9 and London's Rehab Rebels 12-10 in games two and three respectively on Saturday, the Roosters were a perfect 3-0 record: entering playoff action next day. In game one of the playoff round 'on Sunday morning, the Roosters bats were silenced for four innings then falling behind 8-0 early in the game. The locals fought back for six runs to make the game close but fell short en route to a 9-6 loss. In game two of the playoffs, the Roosters scored nine runs early and held on to a 9-4 victory. After de- feating the Rebels 12-8 in game three, the stage was set for the final showdown for the championship against Station Park of London. Because of an earlier loss, the Roosters had to beat the London team twice in• order to capture the Title. With the Roosters trailing 7.6 going to the bottom of the seventh inning, Captain -• Stacey Evans scored the .tying 'run sending the game into extra innings. After giving up two runs in the top half of the eighth inning, the Roosters came .up with three big runsin their half of the inning en • route to a 10-9 victory. In the final game, the Lucan team scored five runs in the fifth inning and held on for a 9-5 win. 'By winning the tournament; the Lucan Roosters qualify for the La- batt's tournament in London in ear- ly September. `- ' After the tournament, coach Pat Ryan had nothing but praise and admiration-forhis team. "This team had .a lot of character and determination and never gave . up no matter what the score was," he said. Ryan Was* also impressed with the team's defence that al- lowed only seven errors and turned - six doubleplays: "With that kind of defence it allows you to stay in the game until the bats get going."
