BPs down Juniors 9-3 in battle of hometown teams By Peter Bauer The Wingham BPs edged the host Wingham Juniors by a 9-3 count in a game played before one of the best fast - ball crowds of the season Sunday afternoon at the Josephine Street ball park. The warm weeper and the match -up between two local clubs contributed to the good turnout. , The game itself saw the two clubs battle right down to the ninth inning before a six -run outburst by the BPs blew open a tie game. The Juniors had built up a 3-0 lead after three innings, but the BPs chipped away with a run in each of the fourth, fifth and sixth in- nings. The game remained tied until the top of the ninth, when the senior club cashed in six runs on five hits for the victory. Kevin Coultes led off the first inning for the Juniors with a single, stole second and went to thirdon a passed ball before scoring on Troy Pgcaluyko's RBI single. The Juniors picked up two more runs in the third in- ning, scoring one with a suicide squeeze. The BPs got on the score- board in the fourth inning when Bob Armstrong tripled and scored on' Ron Smith's ground -out. Two walks issued by Rick Scrimgeour in the fifth in- ning proved costly when, with two out, Armstrong came through with an RBI single to make the score 3-2. The BPs tied the score in the sixth as Smith led off with his second triple of the game and scored on a ground -out by Bob Pegg. Neither team was able to push another run across until the ninth, when Scrimgeour, who had started on' the mound for the Juniors, gave un a single and a walk,to the first two batters. He was relieved by Kent Cerson, who moved to the mound from his shortstop ,position and so did not have the benefit of a warm-up. Cerson was promptly rattled for four hits, driving across six runs.
