The Legionaires get their series with Bownanville underway in the first round Iof thie "C" Pee-XVee play- downs and came up with a 11I-5 win at Peel Park. AI- though Roger Clugston, on t«e mound for the Legion- aires had some control prob- leins, walkîng eight lie struck out fine Bowmanville batters and gave up oîily flive hits to pick up the victory. The Legionaires committed only three errors and their tiglit defense combined with the, pitching of Clugston helped in the triumphi. Clugston and Glen Camp- bell each with a double and sîingle, led the club at the plate, Jeff Hanley, Tom Bronishewski, and Rob Hard- ing ecd added doubles, while Mike and Geoff Wil- liams had singles. The Legionaires didn't fare as weIl in the second gaine of the best of three set, when action resumned at Bow- manville's Memorial Park and they dropped an 8-5 decisioný to square up the series. They lost the game in the field with some sloppy play, kick- ing the bail around in the 3rd inning when they made three miscues which led to .4 un- earned runs, and in playoff competition runs can 't be given up in bunches. 7 walks also helped to put Bowman- ville batters on base and in scorîng position. The Legion- ,aires outhit Bowrnanville 7.6 but they gave away too Many runs to win. Jeff Hanly con- tinued his hitting with a double and single, Glen Campbell came through with a pair of singles, an output matched by Dean Van Dele- weer and Rob Harding added a double.

The first two ( innings were - scorless but a six- run third, and a five run sixth put the Whitby club oný the way to their lop-sided win and Rick* Dunphy, on the mound for Whitby served up nothing but ýgoose-eggs, yoel; ding only five wins in getting the win. Dave Ciehanskie who lias been hitting the bal with authority for Whitby, had a double and three singles', Steve Gallagher had a double and single, and Rick Dunphy and Greg Maclsaac each had two- singles' to lead the 13 bit Whitby offense. In the second gaine the story was 'a bit different as the Pete s played a considerably irnproved gaine b ut tjLe y were stili no match for *Whitby who took' the series with a 14-6 victor y.,. Mike Welling ' with relief help froin Rick Dunphy got the win. Welling worked six inningS and left with a 7-5 lead, and Vhitby camie up with a pair ýf runs lui the seventh, and >ur in the eighth to triumnph iehaniskie once again lied the [ub with a double andi three Ïngles, while Murray lcCorkell, Greg Maclsaac,, -rant Leciteli and Steve ?arrott each had a pair of single ,s to round out the hit- ing.

The Whitby bats were nuffled in this one as thcy carne up with three hits, a double by Dave Ciehan skie, Steve Gallaglier and Tom Thornbury pickîng up singles. The locals couldn't mnount too serious a threat after the fourth inining except in the bottoni of the ninth when they mianaged to load the bases, and with two out had an attemnpted steal backfire to talS theni out of the gaine. Mike Welling, relieved the loser Rick Dunphy when Dunphy pulled a thigh mutscle runniflg out a hit and had to leave the gaine.
