But Waterloo CHYM'rs lived by the batting stance of their pitcher Bill Miller Sunday night and thus have a 1-0 series lead in their best-of-three . Intercity Fastball League quarter- final against Cambridge Cores. Miller, who had opened the scoring in the second in- ning by driving in catcher Brian Russell, came to bat in-the sixth against Gore re- liever Bruce Eccles with the bases loaded. d Miller proceeded to in. e his own victory with a ine shot over left fielder Dave Apel's head that cleared the bases. CHYMYS rolled on effectively from there and racked up a 6-0 shutout before a sizeable crbwd at Centennial Park. It is not that unusual that a fastball pitcher should help his own cause. Many are excellent hitters. and one Inter-City hurler. Guelph's Ron Robinson, won the IFL batting crown this year with a _386 average, Miller's stats are some- what less impressive though. He hit for himself most of the year, collecting eight singles in 37 at bats for a .216 average and one rbi.

Actually I fi.nd by doing that I face the ball better with the open stance." "One thing. I knew I want- ed to go at the first pitch." said Miller. “I always look forward to the first pitch with the bases loaded be- cause you know the pitcher has to put the. first one in there, he can‘t afford to get behind a batter in that situa- tion." As might be expected there were variations in the description of the fatal pitch that Miller hammered to left. The CHYM'r batter thought it was a riser, but Eccles claimed it was a lirop ball that just hung.' In addition to Miller's four rbi's, Waterloo's other runs came off an error and a sim gle by Gary MacGregor. - Eqilally impressive as his batting prowess was Miller's mound effort.
