Men's Slowpitch League A1119 playoff games completed despite rain BY BRUCE BAKER This past week has to be voted the most likely to turn a scheduling chairman grey. With rain delays and cancellations, games were shuffled around and played on various diamonds throughout the county. All 19 playoff games were eventually played and I'm now pleased to report that we're back -on schedule and will be finished before Christmas. The week got off to a great start (from my unbiased viewparit) as Goderich Restaurant jumped out to an early 4-0 lead and held on to defeat the Bears 7-2. The Bears put it together later in the week as they downed Coyotes 11-4 and the Optimists 10-2. The wins earned the Bears a second place finish in series Q. Goderich Restaurant edged the Optimists 5-2 for their third win and top spot in series Q. • In series R, the Bulldogs captured top • spot with a sonvincing win over Carlow. Garb and Gear ended their season on a positive note as they dumping the Old- timers 14-6. This, combined with Carlow's 23-20 win over the Oltimers gave an im- proving Carlow team second place in the series. In B division, Jeffrey's cobras edged Local 1863 7-5 and Goderich Elevator 12-8 to take first place in series S. Tickers edged Local 1863 8-7 but the Elevators already had second place locked up on the strength of two victories over the union and Tickers. In the final series, Champco came from behind to down Cedar Lodge 16-15 However, the Lodge clinched top spot in the Series with a 7-3 victory over Meneset. It took the seventh inning of the final game Pc, r•At: .°4 411 Huron Road at Cambridge St. - Hwy, No, 8 ^. ^ • • , 111 , • -1,, N.-, ,. -1,, „ • before Meneset eliminated the Renegades 7-6 and captured second place in the series.. • This now leaves us with eight teams advancing to the second round of the playoffs ' in which ,all series are best of three affairs. Sunday night, Jeffrey's Cobras scored four runs in the fifth to defeat Carlow 7-4 and take a one -game lead in that series. Although the official score is not in yet, the 'Bulldogs defeated Elevators to take the lead in that series. Goderich Restaurant defeated Meneset 8-6 in the first game and clinched the series with a 10-8 come -from -behind win Monday. Bears pounded Cedar Lodge 29-1 to take a one - game lead in that series. • League members are urged to think about the purpose of playoffs. Althoughwe, have two divisions we are one league. Our separate A and B champions are a result of league play. They are awarded trophies based on their play over the 24 -game schedule. The. playoffs are -not designed to determine separate A and B champions, that has already been deterniined. The playoffs are designed to produce a league champion. .•• , If B teams happen to get 'eliminated early, it should not be all that surprising or upsetting. It just means they don't qualify for the league championship. This structure provides an opportunity for any team in the.league to be the champions, it • does not, however; guarantee an easy road. • These were the thoughts of the team reps • when this structure was voted in March 20. September is a poor time to be com- plaining about it. TYNDALL'S KARATE SCHOOL Introductory Course: • TWICE WEEKLY MONDAY: 7:30 P.M. -9:30 NM, WEDNESDAY: 7:30 P.N1 9:30 P.M.
