WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 10, 1977, PAGE 11 Ball club walI The Whitby bantam club ended its regular Eastern Ontario Baseball Association schedule with a flourish, playing five ganes in as niany days. They started their season- ending series of games with a 7-4gtriumph over Kingston at Peel Park in a contest where each club picked up nine hits. Mike Welling, with relief help from Rick Dunphy got the win. The visitors had a three run lead when Whitby count- ered with three to tie it up in the bottom of the third, and went in front in the fourth when they score four tirnes to make it 7-3. Welling had perfect control in picking up the victory, walking none throughout the eight innings he worked. Dave Ciehanskie with a double and a triple led the club, Greg Maclsaac and Steve Parrott each had a pair of singles, and Murray McCorkell, Grant Lietch and GregRich added singles. The Whitby club contin- ued its busy weekend with a trip to the eastern paft of the circuit playing a split double-header on Sunday with a game in Thurlew and a game in Belleville. The Belleville encounter had its brigb.t and dismal moments as Whitby registered a 4-0 win, with Rick Dunphy throwing a no-hitter, striking out ten and walking only three. The triumph was marred by an eighth inning accident in which Greg Rich broke his wrist sliding into third base, and will be lost for the remainder of the year unless playoff action stretches. out the season for the local club. The short-handed Whitby club was forced to press bat- boy Doug McCorkell into action to complete the game. Dunphy's standout perfor- mance ensured the win as Whitby scored in the second and third and were then kept off the score sheet for the final six innings. Tom Thornbury got the big blow for Whitby, a triple, while Dave Ciehanskie, Rick Dunphy, Greg MacIsaac, Grant Lietch and Greg Rich added singles. Up in Thurlow earlier Whitby wasn't .treated so kindly and absorbed an 8-2 setback. ' Thurlow jumped into an early lead with a pair of runs in the bottom of the first, a single run in the second, before Whitby got on the board in the third with a single run to make it 3-1. The local's only other score was in the eighth. Whitby made five miÎscues which counted for five un- earned runs and although they matched Thurlow wth eight hits they didn't put them together to push runs across. Grant Lietch with a pair of singles was the leader at the plate, Steve Parrott added a double, and Dave Ciehanskie, Murray McCorkell Rick Dunphy, Greg MacIsaac and Darrell Blacquiere picked up singles. Whitby gave the Oshawa Legionaires a run for their money at Kinsmen Stadium and althougb they dropped a 7-5 decision to the club many consider the class of the league. Whitby mianaged only four hits off winner, Sam Ashton with Dave Ciehanskie, Greg Maclsaac Grant Lietch and Darrel Blacquiere getting the Whitby safeties. The Legionaires got three runs in the first inning for a 3-1 lead after Whitby had opened the scoring, but Whitby bounced right back with a pair to even it up 3-3., only to have Oshawa pick up a single run in the bottom of the second for a 4-3 score which held through the next three score- less innings. Oshawa added a single run in the sixtli and a pair in the seventh for a 7-3 margin, and Whitby threatened in the eighth with a pair of runs to make it 7-5 and at this point the gane was called because of the Oshawa curfew. The final game of the schedule was a romp for the locals, as , they rouned Bownanville 15-1 at Soper Creek. Bowmanville got their lone run in the bottom of the first inning to tie the game 1-1 but from then on it was all downhill for the A successful series ofa tennis lessons for childrenc aged seven to 12, conducted o by the Whitby Recreation1 department, finished with testing on Thursday andr Friday.1 Asya final event of the program a tournament was1 held between Palmerston andi Brooklin Tuesday at Palmer- ston Park, and another tournament will be held Thursday at Hutchinson Park and Central Parks.

Miss Harrell has been handing out about 100 questionaires about tennis at the various town parks, in an attempt to determine use of tennis courts in Whitby and the future needs of tennis players.
