Show Citizen Thursday, June 10, 1882 Page 10 Expos, Athletics Show Strength Tuesday night's Pony League action started with a bang, but fizzled out at Bus Manning Field. In the opening game, the Expos clobbered the Phillipes 11-7. The second game saw the Athletics smash the Pirates 14-0. Up until the sixth inning of the opener, it was hard to tell who would emerge the winner. Philly Glen Brooks started the guessing game when he came home on a hit by Artie Cox at the top of the first. Burying Brooks' run with five of their own at the bottom of the inning, the Expos seemingly laid to rest guesses of who would win. Like a vampire, though, the guessing game would not die. Philly pitcher Cox helped see to that. Recovered from the Expo blitz in the first inning, he struck out Robert Rasmussen while his teammates kept two other Expos from getting around the diamond. The Expo who got the closest to scoring during the second inning was Rick Durfey, who stole third base on a wild pitch. The Phillies got a run closer to the Expos at the top of the third, thanks to Brooks' running home on a sacrifice by David Cates. Cates' team held its opponent scoreless at the bottom of the third. Action in most of the fourth made it really confusing of who would indeed come out the winner. Hits by Brooks and Jared Anderson brought in Tom and Ed Love. The Phillies pulled ahead as Cox doubled in two runs. The Phillies' possession of the lead was brief, for at the bottom of the inning, Rasmussen tied the game. The second exchange of the lead in the game occurred when the Expos loaded the bases shortly after Rasmus sen's run. The trade was more quiet than dramatic. Standing at home plate, Ron Durfey drew a fourth ball. His walk to first base gave his brother Rick a free trip to home. Tom Love tied the game for a second time during the top of the fifth inning. That was the last time the Phillies caught up with their opponents, op-ponents, for Paul Yates broke the tie on a dropped ball at the bottom of the inning. A two-run single, hit by Brent Poulsen, pushed the Expos farther ahead. Stealing home on a wild pitch at the bottom of the sixth, Ron Durfey closed out Expo scoring. While the Expos had to battle hard to win, the Athletics had an almost easy time winning. Being the visiting team, the Athletics wasted no time in sinking the Pirates. At the top of the first, hard hitting by players, such as Shawn Peters and Dan Christiansen, resulted in two runs. The Athletics posted a single run, then went full force in the third, chalking up six points. Under the leadership of pitcher Todd Glover, the Pirates shut the Athletics off for the next two innings. Glover's teammates re-discovered that holding the Athletics scoreless was liking corking a volcano ready to explode. The Athletics exploded with five runs, burying Pirate hopes for a seventh-inning comeback. , - v ' ft. . - . 'i'vsv-Y! vX (I. '-v ' k , t . i . ' J v. . ; ' i -:--. . .

The Athletics are close behind with a 6-1 record. There only loss was to the Royals the first game of the season. Outstanding pitching from Jeff Frier, Troy Savage and T.J.

AMERICAN FORK 756-2162 Weekdays 9 to 6 Stingers, Jack and Jill Post Wins The Stingers and Jack & Jill Bowling Lanes showed scenes of awesome playing in their fast-pitch softball wins over the Bullets and Barratt Builders Supply at the South Softball Field at the old Junior High Memorial Day night. . To f wrlnldverie7' Stingef is mighflafthln a Bullet. At least that was what the Stingers' 11-2 win seemingly indicated. Posting a 4-0 lead in the first inning, the Stingers showed how powerful their strength was. Their pitcher, kent Walters, showed no mercy to the opposition, as Bullets Ron Durrant, Scott Rackman and Ted Frandsen learned at the top of the first. But after the tremendous display of offense and defense by the Stingers in the first inning, the Bullets went to work to hold them scoreless for the next three innings. Though the Bullets' defense remained strong for those innings, their offense could go anywhere. Infield flies, hit by Craig Green and Jerry Varney, for example, fell into gloves of Stingers like third baseman Jack Young. Bullet Dave Beal brought some hope for his team at the bottom of the second with a single to center field. However, his team soon had to retire to the field before he could get around the diamond. The same player experienced another setback at the bottom of the fourth when a fly he hit, that could have netted two runs, was picked off by center fielder Gary Carlton. The Stingerss offense came back to life at the top of the fifth when they loaded the bases. At that point, a sacrifice by Craig Durrant brought in Doug Burk for the sole Stinger run of the inning. Stinger Neal Chadwick hit a double at the top of the sixth, setting the stage for the biggest scoring surge since the first inning. With teammate Jim Fowler on third base, Chadwick saw Young saw Young come up to bat. Young hit a triple to bring them in. He, in turn, was batted in by Carlton. Chadwick closed off Stinger scoring by hitting in two runs on a seventh-inning seventh-inning homer. Until the bottom of the seventh inning, it seemed that the Bullets would not get any points. But then Varney ended that prospect when Beal hit him in. Teammate Ron Durrant hit in Robert Broolc or the second Bullet run. By the way the first two innings of the Barratt-Jack & Jill progressed, it seemed destined to be a repeat of the earlier duel. During those innings, Jack & Jill's defense seemed helpless against Barratt hitters. In the first inning, for example, Jack Breems, the first Barratt batter, hit a triple. His brother Gary brought him in. (Gary went on to score on a sacrifice by Ron Kelly in the same round.)-Paul round.)-Paul Peters homered in Alan Hardy at the top of the second. At the bottom of the second, Jack & Jill's offense started operating. Steve Adams scored the first Jack & Jill run after he stole third base on an error by third baseman Peters. The third inning belonged exclusively ex-clusively to Jack & Jill. Jack & Jill pitcher allowed Barratt to make only one hit during the inning, a single by David DeMunbrum. At the bottom of the inning, the men from Jack & Jill threw a scare into Barratt. After two Jack & Jill runs made in the round, Joe Perry doubled in two more, taking the lead away from Barratt. After hitting a double at the top of the fourth, Peters was hit home on a double by Gary Breems, tying the score. The game remained tied until an error by Peters allowed Jack & Jill to load the bases at the bottom of the sixth. A sacrifice by Earl Black brought in Jimmy Phelps, breaking the tie.
