Mickey Kozlowski, who during the playoffs had a few problems fielding at shortstop and later third base, made one of the nicest fielding plays of the final series to get Tony Camâ€" pagnolo‘s grounder and toss Because Sault Ste. Marie refused to travel to Waâ€" terloo last weekend to conâ€" test the final series, Waâ€" terloo Optimist midgets were awarded the 1979 Onâ€" tario Baseball Association B division championship by default. Word came through to Opâ€" timist _ manager _ Paul ncher at 10 :45 pm. Wedâ€" 'day from OBA midget nvenor Gerry MacLean of Thorold that Sault, who had been given until 8 p m. that night to declare their intenâ€" tion, had decided not to conâ€" test the final since they felt they could not field a comâ€" petitive team !\n two most startling stats were Guelph‘s two hits Collison tossed a magnificient game and was totally in control, and Guelph‘s eight errors which multiplied the home team‘s woes. It became evident early that Guelph‘s hopes in the playoffs rested with their ability to stretch the games out to get Tony Campagnolo as A tight pitcher‘s battle tipped in Guelph‘s favor in the seventh inning when they finally got to Hannah for three hits. Campagnolo helped his own cause with a runâ€"scorâ€" ing single and Oaks padded their lead in the eighth when Ray Pope opened with a triple and scored on Paul Ofâ€" ficer‘s single. Expos, meanwhile, were seeing Camâ€" pagnolo for the first time this year, and although the rangy righthander showed little in the way of variety, his best was more than enough to baffile Waterloo into its first whitewash of the year.

A policy was made at the beginning and they (OBA) were adament in reinforcing it.

As some of you will notice later in this section, pictures and or stories of several important events in the last week have been omitted The Waterloo Chronicle, which is distributed free to every household in Waterloo, depends solely on advertising for its source of revenue 2 As such. it is often necessary to run a "tight ship~" with regards to percentage of advertising, and this just happens to be one of those weeks Therefore.

They played suâ€" perlative baseball through three OBA series, much betâ€" ter than in their own league action, and Puncher offered several reasons why. We‘ll do our best to catch up with you and there might even be room next week for a few shots. In the meantime, I‘m sorry. but thank you for your tremendous cooperation. Rick Campbell Part of the complication in the OBA format arose when nine teams entered "I think after losing Interâ€" County the guys wanted to still salvage something from the season. We got great pitching in the OBA‘s and a lot of clutch hitting. The guys always felt they could win it, our attitude was a big factor," said the Waterloo boss Apology 16 Expos quickly broke the Campagnolo psyche job by hammering three doubles and a single for four runs in the very first inning. Terry Boegel‘s twoâ€"out single was the key blow, providing what proved to be the winning runs. Guelph threatened with men on base several times during the contest but each time Williams reached back for the key pitches to retire the side. Expos themseives were shut down effectively by Camâ€" pagnolo, getting only two hits the rest of the way, but in this tight pitcher‘s battle, the damage had been done in the first inning. Waterloo hits: Rick Williams (2b), Micky Collison (2b), Dunc MacDonald (2b), Jim Taylor (1b), Terry Boegel (1b), Mickey Kozlowski (1b).

They led only 3â€"0 going into the third but sent all nine men to the plate while at the same time sending Churchman back to the outfield. Waterloo came right back with three in the fourth and rode comfortably to victory, with Collison‘s mound efâ€" fort the focal point in the late going. Only four Oaks reached base the entire game, one on an error. Waterioo hits: Brian Schnurr (3b, 1b, 1b, 1b), Terry Boegel (2b, 1b, 1b), Paul Mcintyre (1b, 1Ib, 1b), Rick Williams (2b, Ib), Larry Crooke (1b), Micky Collison (1b), Lou Drago (1b)}, Mickey Kozlowski (1b). many pitching assignments as possible since Expos *‘I couldn‘t believe it when I threw it," said Kozlowski, who will be a familiar face as a referee in the area‘s basketball leagues this winter. "It was actually on a straight line to first,. Heck, I didn‘t even pull Rick off ‘‘*We went to London, to Niagara, and to the east (Kingston) and never lost a game," said Puncher. "At the beginning we were told it would take three series to win this thingâ€"and that‘s what it took. We were the only team not to get a bye. the elimination event, with the farthest team remaining eligible getting a bye in each series. So in fact while Waâ€" terloo had played three series leading to the proâ€" posed final, Sault had only played one. that against Sarâ€" nia. We took on all comers and won, no one‘s going to tell us we backed into the chamâ€" pionship. Touche Game III Terry Boege! made an outstanding catch in deep left centre in the seventh inâ€" ning for Wateriloo in Sunâ€" day‘s deciding game. And a leaping grab by Brian Schâ€" Schnurr, who scored three of Expos six runs, including the winner, was probably most anxious to end the series Sunday. Because if they didn‘t, Gueliph would be able to throw their ace Tony Campagnolo, on Tuesday in Waterloo, right Brian? nurr of a line drive at the top of the ninth from his shortâ€" stop position was no less a Interâ€"County Junior Baseball League commissioner Art Fach presents Expos Brian Schnurr with the trophy symbolic of 1!â€"C supremacy.

"It‘s killing me." Killing you? What about your poor dad. Seems Mr. Schnurr was out of town at the beginning of last week, got back Tuesday night and found a note from Brian sayâ€" ing he had been back in town playing that night and then went right back to London. It was nice of Brian to leave the note. Only probâ€" lem was he didn‘t say what the score of the game was.
