Clinton News-Record, 1977-06-23, Page 6PAGE 6-CLINTON NEWS RECORD THURSDAY, JUNE 23, 19'.'7 • Colts nip Petrolia twice By Bob Livermore Last Sunday afternoon the Clinton Colts travelled to Petrolia to take on the Raiders for an exhibition doubleheader. The Colts swept the both ends of the seven inning games, 5-4 and 3- 2. In the first game Steve Switzer allowed the Raiders four runs on nine hits to gain his second win of the season. Switzer also contributed to his own cause with three singles at the plate. The Colts took a 1-0 lead in the first inning on a lead-off single by Don MacDonald, a walk to Dan Colquhoun and a single by Cam MacDonald. Petrolia tied the game 1-1 in the bottom of the first inning. Petrolia took the lead 3-1 with two runs in the third inning on back to back homers by Bruce Gray and John McLean. The Colts rallied to tie the score 3-3 in the fifth when Cam MacDonald tripled to left centre to start the fifth. Cal Fremlin singled MacDonald home. Paul Bartliff sacrificed Fremlin to second, and Butch Fleet singled Fremlin home with the tying run. The Colts tallied twice in the sixth to take a 5-3 lead. Switzer' singled, Don MacDonald singled after Colquhniit.nl sacrificed both runners, and Fremlin doubled home the two runs. Petrolia nudged closer to 5- 4 by adding a run in the bottom half of the sixth in- ning, but Switzer held off the Raiders in the seventh to preserve the Colt victory. In the second game of the doubleheader the Colts, with a pitcher on loan from Petrolia, beat the Raiders 3-2. Due to the fact that the Colts were missing star 'pitcher Mark Nicholson and relief starter Don Bartliff, they borrowed a pitcher from Petrolia for the exhibition game. The Colts opened the scoring in the second game with a run in the third inning. With one out, Don MacDonald was hit by the pitch. He raced all the way home on a double to left -centre by Colquhoun. Petrolia scored two runs in the bottom of the third to take a 2-1 lead. Three walks and a double by Don c Lean produced the two ru s. In the fourth inn g, the Colts tied the game at 2-2. Greg Butler, after reaching first on an error, raced all the way home on a double by Bob Livermore to centre field. The Colts won the game in the fifth on a double by Cam MacDonald and a .triple by Fremlin to right -centre field. The Colts out hit the Raiders eight to six in the contest. Livermore, Colquhoun and Fremlin led the Colts with two hits each. Don MacDonald and Cam MacDonald added one hit each.

(photo by Jack Hunt) By Rosemary Armstrong The Clinton Soccer Club went down to defeat by a 3-1 score, at the hands of Oakridge United in a Second Division League game here on Saturday. Once again, Clinton disappointed with a mediocre display of soccer and lack of incentive. The individual talent was there, but seemed unable to get together as a team. While the Clinton forwards found it nearly impossible to penetrate the solid Oakridge defence, our defence became panic stricken every time the Speedy Oakridge forwards burst through the middle and advanced on Juergen Hellman in goal. Hellman was given lots of work and did well to keep the score down to three goals. Pete Wise scored the lone Clinton goal when he was "Johnny ion the spot" for a long cross from Colquhoun which Pete caught on the volley and deflected past a helpless'keeper. As time ran out for Clinton, play became ragged and chippy and once again several players were warned for "ungentlemanly con- duct". This behaviour does nothing to enhance Clinton's reputation in the league, which up to now has been exemplary. This writer would like .to see a return to the sport- smanlike play we have become accustomed to. With practice, this Clinton team will become a force to be reckoned with but not if half the key players are sitting on the bench under suspension. So cool it, boys! Clinton plays away this weekend at London Por- , tuguese on Saturday. Kick-off time is 4 p,m. , Fleming Stallions stumped again Once again the Fleming Stallions could not overcome St. Columban and dropped another game 4-1. It was a close contest for the first half of the game with the St. Columban boys taking the edge in the scoring 2-1. Tony Gibbings scored the Clinton goal. The set;ond half was all Clinton hemming the St. Columban players in their own half, Charlie Wise failed to tie the score when he missed a penalty shot by firing the ball straight at the opposing goaltender. St. Columban then got two breakaway goals to make the final score 4-1. Tony Gibbings and Brad Forbes were the two Stallion stars while Paul Stephensen in net regained some of his form from last year. The Stallions failure to put the ball in the net lost the game as they had far more of the play. The next game is on Wednesday, June 22, against a much improved Bayfield team. Sunday, June 26 they travel to Guildwood to play a Toronto team in the first round of the Ontario Cup. The boys• will have tohave their_scoring boots on as there is no second chance if they want to make it to the second round. ❑ ❑ The Illness you'll never see coming.
