Richard O‘Brien Chronicle Staft When Waterloo Tigers pitcherâ€"outfielder Jamie Young showed up at Bechtel Park for Saturday night‘s game with Toronto Maple Leafs, general manager Fred Kursikowski informed him he would be catching. _ Catcher Todd Abernethy was supposed to be pitching and all the other players were assigned to positions they didn‘t expect. _ _ â€" But Kursikowski had handed them a mock lineup, something to help them forget their 2â€"11 wonâ€"lost record going into the game with the defending Interâ€"County Major Baseball League champions. 8_ "It was a little levity to break the tension," said Young, who showed he belonged on the mound by becoming the first Tigers pitcher to claim a victory on the home diamond this season in a 10â€"7 upset. It was a pause from losing and it was refreshing, but Tigers couldn‘t make it carry over into their next game as they lost 11â€"6 to St. Thomas Elgins in a road game Sunday evening. | â€" ;l‘-ivgér; pitchers have been roughed up in the early innings of most home games but that didn‘t happen to Young.. o s _ 8 Young gave up a leadoff single but a double play initiated by Jody Pfaff at shortstop killed Toronto‘s early threat. Then in the second inning Abernethy made his first of two good throws as he easily caught Pete Moran trying to steal second. _ "I had a lot of good plays behind me," said Young. "That got the team up and we had key hits tonight." It was Young‘s first start on the mound this season and he stayed in the game until he gave up singles to the first two batters in the eighth inning 33 Main S1.

Mike Simpson took over from Aucoin in the ninth and Maple Leafs once again loaded the bases. Moran scored on a sacrifice fly before the final ‘‘Toronto‘s a comeback team,"" said Young, who paced up and down in the dugout the final two innings. ‘"When they got the bases loaded two innings in a row it was a little scary." with his team ahead 10â€"4. out. Maple Leafs had problems all night, making seven errors and losing two players along the way. Left fielder Jamie Hodge departed in the second inning after catching a long sacrifice fly by Brad Stevens that scored Tony Yacobino catcher Larry Downes was ejected for arguing with home plate umpire Chuck Neisen when Nino Ramunno scored on a close play at the plate. Tigers added four runs in the fifth, partly on a comedy of errors and partly on a twoâ€"run homer by Â¥Yacobino, who also had a double. _ _ _ _ Ramunno drove in two runs with a double and two singles. â€" _ â€" Sunday in St. Thomas, Tigers scored two runs in the third on a double by Young and a single by Ramunno.
