* JPi‘TéFFi'éEéstay alive in 'rt? playoffs By Rick Campbell Chronicle - EM Waterloo Expos are not exactly developing a love affair with Cambridge's Dickson Park. Or for that matter, with Bob McCullough either. ' For the second Monday night in a now, Dicksdn Park was the scene and McCullough was the hero as the Cambridge Jr. Terriers upset the Waterloo club 6-5. Nine days ago the 19-yeararld shortstop lofted an eighth- inning three-run homer to give his club a 10-9 win in' the opening game of the Inter-County Junior semi-finals. Expos bounced Back later in the week with decisive 11-1 and 9-2 wins at Bechtel Park, and could have clinched a berth in the finals with a win back in Cambridge Monday. It appeared that would be the case too when Paul Macin- tyre of Expos reached first on a fielder’s choice and then scored on three successive wild pitches by Terrier pitcher Gord McMurran in the top of the ninth to give Waterloo a 5-4 lead. Expo pitcher Micky Collison, who struck out 11 batters in an effective performance, then got Paul Sutton to whiff for the first out in Cambridge's ninth. But Mike Hannusch reached first on shortstop Micky Kozlowski‘s third error of the game and advanced to second when Kozlowski threw wildly in an attempt to recover from his blunder.

"We'rigirine to have to play a lot better ball than that, we just did things tttat-you can't afford to do in the playoffs," said Expo GM Merle (Champ) Glossford: First on the list of no-no's Were the seven errors, several just as much mental as physical, that Expos committed. They made six in the crucial last three innings, where if anything, the play should have been tighter than ever. By Rick Campbell Chronicle Sports Editor Waterloo Expo fans might have noticed in the past two games that the club has had no designated hitter in its lineup, despite a wealth of bench strength in thehitting department. Ironically, the best play of the ball game came in the Cambridge seventh with the score 4-3 Waterloo. Kozlowski mishandled a drive by McCullough and the ball skittered into centre field.

Several Expos also got tossed out trying to steal bases when in fact they were already in scoring position. And fun- damentals such as sacrifices and backing up throws were also haphazardly executed.

Friday Expos jumped on loser Reid Sutherland for five mas in the first two innings and than grouped three more in the seventh. Dave Barrett doubled and singled.Jim Taylor doubled and Dan Collison and Williams had two singles. Other hits went topooke, Micky Collison and Kozlowski. Williams scattered seven hits to grab Mn but his arm is still quite sore from the amount of senior action he had this year. . _ l Micky Collison got the victory Wednesday as the Expos showed much better form than they did last Monday. The Expos bats were in fine form chalking up 18 hits with Dan Collison pacing the salvo with two doubles and two singles. Don Beaupre had a double and two singles as did Williams while Brian Schnurr contributed-a double and single. Crooke had a double, Barrett and Kozlowski two singles and Mae. Donald a safety. Expos scored most of their runs in the middle innings of that contest, with three in the fourth, four in the fifth and two in the sixth. against the Cambridge Jr. Terriers, he has a homer, double and six singles. That's not highly out of the ordinary for the strap- ping Toronto native as he has hit well in other years and was often spotted in the DH role this year for Expos. But when you don't get to the plate that often, timing, or lack of it. can often play a major factor. Williams has cracked the ball with such authority this year that many local people have questioned why the Tigers did not make more use of him at the plate. “I just love hitting, I'm anxious to get up as often as possible and with OBA com- ing up and pitchers having to hit for themselves I should get plenty of chan- ces," Williams said Friday following his seven-hitter against the Terriers. "Yes, I would have liked to hit more in senior, but I think they, might have been worried about me getting in- jured at the plate, and they were banking on me as a pitcher, not a hitter ., . Expos. who will have to improve immensely on their performance Monday night. in Cambridge if they expect to win at all at the OBA's, go into the series minus Dan Collison. who has left for St. Clair College in Port, Huron, Mich., Don Beaupre, who is attending junior A hockey camp in Sudbury. and Jim Taylor. presently trying out for the WLU Golden-Hawks football team. But with the talent that took them to a 26- 4 league record this season, Expos obviously have plenty in reserve to get it together. Expos first OBA game is against Western Counties representative Chatham at 12 noon Saturday at Cedar- vale Park in Scarborough. Should they win they would return to Cedarvale at 7 pm. Saturday against the winner of the Niagara-Ur - don game. If Expos d their first game, they wo go against the winner of the Toronto-Halton game at 7 Park Action continues through Monday with the cham- pionship game at Talbot Park at Bayview and Eglin- ton, time depending on the number of games needed.
