Carn O'Donnell fin- ish-ed the gaine on the rnound giving up oine single. MIurkar took hiiscl f out of die garne when Le began ta develop a stiff shoulder.

The Big Macs weren't having any success against BiH Collier, Oshawa's towering right-hander who stretches out to 6 feet 5 inches which is quite a size for a 14 year old, and it appeared as if the game was over until Collier developed control problemns, was pulled, and replaced by a parade of three Oshawa hurlers.
