It was, on both occa» sions, the type of g'ritty effort that could allow Tigers to make amends in post-season play for a season filled with few good memories. Licking their wounds from mid-week shel- laekings by Stratford Hillers 2(H and Brant- ford Red Sox 16-1, and still reeling from Fri, day's announcement that field manager Gary Jeffries and coach Walt Jeffries had resigned their po- sitions. Tigers took to the field Saturday and turned in a most com- mendable, albeit losing effort, in a 4-3 decision to Stratford. Tabbies' miserable skid contirr. ued in Kitchener Sun, day, when they saw a 6-1 lead evaporate into a 9-7 loss. Again. how- ever, as in Satyrday's effort, Tigers fash- ioned a great deal of heart and went down a battling, game lot, not at all reminiscent of the apathetic and pa- thetic lot dismissed earlier in the week. But the script of Wa- terloo Tigers' two most recent losses was far, tar different from the previous two. claw way back Tigers Enough cannot be said of the play of Noonan at short, espe- cially against Kitchen- er as he turned defen- sive gems, making near-impossible plays into routine outs in addition to getting his bat in top-notch form as well. Henry, subbing for Brian Schnurr at second while the latter attended brother Bob's wedding in Peter- borough on the week- end, also handled him- self with aplomb: and Bell, still somewhat hampered by off-sea, son knee surgery, im- proves with each game‘s experience and looked far from out of place at first. Kurt Deluca‘s grand slam Rave Tigers land pitcher Smith) a 6-1 second-inning lead in Kitchener, but Rick Williams came on in relief of Bruce Klaehn for Panthers and vir- tually slammed the door from the third inning on while his mates peeked their way back. Bill Byck- owski had a double and three singles in im- pressive style for Kit- chener, while Deluca homered, tripled and singled and Boegel and Noonan added two more hits apiece in a losing cause. Keith Meyer was the hard-luck loser on Sat, urday, victimized by three Stratford runs on five hits in the eighth. Terry Boegel, Nick Noonan and Jeff Zapfe all had a pair of hits for Waterloo. "I was a biuppre- hensive," ad'mitted Smith about taking over the reins, "but the guys responded pretty well for me. Guys like Doug Henry at second, Johnny Bell at first, Renald Gabriel in left field, they were all playing unfamiliar pa sitions tonight but they all did a nice job out there." players in new posh tions, to the enthusim~ tic manner in which Tigers performed throughout, it was ob- vious that if nothing else, the management change brought some injection of spirit. Kurt's bgt comes alive Jokingly referring to his earlier season plate problems as a 'tsophomore slump" after his fine college start, Deluca chuckled about the fact he has earned a reputation for being an aggressive and dependable defensive centrefielder. 7 "No, it's my bat rm here for, not my glove." Deluca assured a reporter. "Back at college, they used to take me out in the seventh inning of every game for defensive measures." Given his recent rise to prominence, there is little chance of that happening to Kurt Deluca here in Waterloo. Deiuca's grand slam came in the second inning off of starting Panther pitcher Bruce Klaehn. He later singled and tripled land scored on a throwing error) off former Tiger Rick Williams. who tossed brilliant five-hit ball over the last seven and two-thirds innings. "It seems the better the pitcher, the better I hit, 1 really like to face the hard throwers like we did tonight," said Deluca. "I've always had the confidence I can hit the ball, it was just a case of. well, I wasn't getting too many breaks." said Deluca. no doubt thrilled with his Sunday effort yet still somewhat disconsolate at Tigers' inability to put a win on the board. "It came down to a case of deciding it was about time] turned things around. My dad (and family) came updor a couple of games last week and he helped turn around my attitude. He Just told me that no matter how things went, I just had to play hard and try my best all the time." According to the congenial Deluca, ail it took to get him back on the track that saw him hit .400 in his freshman year at Ithaca College was a little bit of luck - and a little bit of fatherly advice. We take it all off . . . In the past several weeks, the Mr-year-old native of Little Falls, N.Y. has quickly risen to become one of Tigers" most potent offensive threats - and Kitchener Panthers were the latest to find out how potent Sunday night. Although Tigers went down to their eighth consecutive defeat 9-7. Deluca cracked a single, triple and grand slam home run in the second inning that carried well over the 380~foot sign in deep right centre field. And now, teams around the Inter-County Major Baseball League are finding out that Tiger centrefielder Kurt Deluca was im- ported not for his glove, but for his bat.
