Sandy's Clippers
show promise
at north tourne
BY'MORLEY LEEKING JR.
On Sunday, August 7, Sandy's
Clippers Softball team from the
local industrial league. made. -a •
excellent showing at :the
invitational softball tournament
in Feversham. Tearns entered
were from Collingwood,
Notta_wa, Wasaga Beach,
Markdale, Toronto, Duntrobn
and Goderich. Due to inclement
weather ' conditions the
tournament was, halted at • the
end -of the fifth inning of the
semi-final game in which
Sandy's Clippers 'were tied 1-1
with L.O.F: from Collingwood...
Upon discussion among
managers, coaches and
organizers, it Was decided to
divide the prime money' up into
four equal shares among the
four remaining teams.
In the game against L.O.F.
from Collingwood, Ken Daer hit
the key blow for the Clippers, a
towering home run over the left
field fence. Rick Sowerby hurled
a magnificent game for the
Clippers under the less -than...
ideal ' conditions. The one run
L.O.F. did score was unearned.
The other hit for the Clippers in
the game was by Jdhn Phillips
a single to right field. Both
teams made some excellent
defensive plays that 'kept the
game as tight as it was.
In the first game oc, the day,
Sandy's defeated Wasaga Beach
7-0. Kepny Daer hurled an
almost flawless . game. • The
Wasaga team managed but one
scratch single off Daer. Each,
player for Sandy's managed a,
hit in the game the key blow
being- a two run double by Bill
Fritzley.
Sandy's resumes local action
this Thursday. against Gord's
Sports.
