The Goderich Signal-Star, 1981-07-08, Page 11Z ptimists overpower Garb and Gear team in sl The slopitch game of the week proved to be a dull affair (biased opinion) as the OptiinistF• overpowered a shaky Garb and Gear team, coming away with a 13 - 5 victory. The Optimist team jumped', in. front quickly as Mark Jones, Dan Demers and Bill Lewis combined for two runs. Garb and Gear came back in the second and third, taking a 4 - 3 lead. on runs scored by Bill Worsell, Bill Rahbek, Tom Kelly and Larry Madge. The two teams swapped a few runs in the fourth and. fifth with the Optimists holding a 7 - 5 lead going into their half of the sixth. That's when the flood gates opened. The usually reliable infield of Garb and Gear couldn't stop a beach ball in that inning and Optimists came away with ;six .unearned runs. Garb and Gear has never been known for their strong -bats and the eight -run disadvantage proved to be too much to overcome. The. Optimists, 'a young energetic team under the leadership of Dave Young appear to be improving with every game -- or maybe it just seems that way to us older fella!! The victory moved them into a fourth place tie with the W heelsnen in B division.
