Sudden Death Today
(By Laurie Coiquhoun)
Clinton Lions took a terrific
20-2 drubbing from Wheatley
lest Wednesday, but made a bril-
liant 7-4 comeback qn the home
diamond Saturday afternoon. •to
stay in the running for the On-
tario Midget baseball title.
The• two teams planned to go
back at it again on Monday ef-
ternoon, but rain interfered, al-
though Wheatley's star pitcher
and coach stayed in town Sat-
urday night and Sunday.
Play Today
Net result is that 'Wheatley
and Clinton clash on the Com-
munity Park diamond here at
three o'clock this afternoon, the
winner to meet either Carleton
PIace or Oakville for the Ontario
championship.
Wheatley showed that their
initial victory was no flash in
the pan, but they were forced to
boar to the superior prowess of
that talented young southpaw,
Bob Carrick.
11 Throws, Three Out
Believe it or not, Bob threw
only 11 balls in the last inning
to retire the side, all three going
down via the strikeout route -
4 -3-4 balls. Is that a record or
something?
Don't think for a moment that
the play was all Clinton's! Not
by a long way. While Bob Car-
rick was fanning 16, Beattie, his
counterpart for Wheatley, was
whiffing no less than 19; four of
the Lions each getting nipped
three times! And the boys said he
Wasn't Wheatley's best hurler,
Carrick gave free rides to first
to five visitors, while Beattie
treated six Lions very well. Car-
rick hit a couple of batsmen into
the bargain.
"Rickey" Elliott, Clinton first -
sacker, came through with the
best batting average of the day
with four safe infield hits in five.
No matter what else happens,
today's game at least will produce
a worthy finalist for the Ontario
title.
