Midgets drop Stratford slugfest Arundel's next outing was in senior against Kitchener and he found himself in the unenviable position of having to come in in the early innings with the bases loaded. He got out of that jam. but fell victim to cheap hits later and lasted only a couple of innings, The win started a three-game win streak for the Waterloo club. Friday in Stratford they dumped the Optimists 9-4 and came right back at home Saturday to edge the same club 6- 3. Brantford Braves halted their skein Monday night though when they pushed across two runs in the bottom of the ninth to win 10-8. By Rick Campbell Chronicle Sports Editor Mike Arundel has no problem counting to three. But 17 is a little different story. Because in his first start as a Waterloo Expo last week, the 20-yearmld Ottawa native mesmerized the usually hard- hitting Kitchener Dodgers with an assortment of over- 'reerint(ast.tyus and sharp breaking balls to chalk up 17 strikeouts “as Expos defeated their neighbors 7-5. But this year. Arundel did not see eye to eye on several issues with his manager, and so sought a change of scenery ' try to improve his game. Arriving in Waterloo several weeks back, he got a rude christening to Inter-County ball, After a day-long bus trip from Ottawa. he watched from the bench as Expo Craig Dubecki sailed along with a 13-7 lead over Cambridge, Arun- del had even gone into the locker room when Dubecki went to the mound for the ninth. and was startled several mo- ments Later when Expo boss Nels Grigg opened the door and asked him if he could pitch Totally unprepared, Arundel went to the mound and could not stem the tide as Terriers mauled three Waterloo pitchers for 10 runs. So it was a “relief" for him to be able to start his own ballgame against Kitchener Dodgers last week. and he proved to be the master of his own destiny, Actually, Arundel was throwing so well he had a one-hit- ter going into the eighth inning. a rarity in junior baseball, ut although he finally checked the visitors on four hits, he ’aswt aware of his strikeout totals. “I was really surprised when they told me I had 17. I knew I had quite a few. but I thought it was only around nine or 10," said the muscular left-hander. _ Left-handed pitching is a valuable commodity in junior baseball, and when Arundel became available earlier this season. Waterloo Tiger GM Merle (Champ) Glassford be- came interested in his services ior both tigers and Expos. Arundel competed in the Connie Mack League in his ho- metown and last year joined the Ottawa club in the North- eastern States League. a loop comprised primarily of teams in northern New York. By his own admission. he was the -last" pitcher in the lineup seeing only spot duty.

Paul Maclntyre chipped in with a triple and double and Crhig Dubecki came within one out of a complete game to record the win. Den Collison had a perfect night at the plate for Waterloo with three doubles and a single. Mickey Collison tripled and singled and Rick Williams ha_d Po singles. Back in Waterloo Saturday, Expos Jumped on loser Dyon Mitchell for three runs in the first and clinched the win with two in the bottom of the eighth. Williams doubled in his only plate appearance while Jim Taylor. MacDonald and Mickey Kozlowski all had two singles and Mickey Collison and Bruce Gordon had singletons. ” It was not" the most exciting game in the world. but Expos displayed a sharpness that had been absent in recent out- Larry Crooke picked up the win on the mound with solid relief aid from Dan Collison who came on in the sixth and gave up only a harmless double for the duration. ings :When you get a really large lead in a game, you tend to get bored and go through the motions." said Dan Collison. "That's why we were more on our toes in a game like this." Grigg wa's extremely pleased with certain signs his team showed in the game. “I'll put almost any player in the lineup with no hesita- tion," he said. "Take guys like Bruce iGordont at first. he played well defensively and didn't look out of place at all. But the guys that don'tTlay as much need those at bats to get in the groove offensively. "Right now I'm pleased we're playing good defensive ball We're not booting it as much, we're picking ourselves up after those bad games a while back and now we're having some fun." In Brantford Monday Expos rallied from a huge deficit to tie the game in the ninth on a hit by Dan Collison. but Brant- ford won it in the bottom of the ninth with a two-run homer.
