Subject: Mother Nature rains on Eastern Canadians parade, forcing postponement and schedule change -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mother Nature rains on Eastern Canadians parade, forcing schedule change BY PAT HEALEY MEDIA ALBERTON - Rain has forced organizers of the Tignish Credit Union Midget Girls Eastern Canadian championships, in conjunction with Softball P.E.I., to make some schedule changes, reducing it from a five game per team event to a revised four game round robin event. Fridays play had been threatened with rain since early morning but it held off long enough to get in five of the six games on tap in the 9 and 11 a.m. games. One game was suspended in the top of the seventh with the Prince County Heat ahead 10-5 over Sud Ouest Dragons (Quebec One) with one out. That game will be finished at 7:30 a.m. Saturday morning before play continues from that point on Fridays schedule, only games are starting at 8 a.m. and not 9 a.m. as scheduled. Games Saturday will be 8, and 10 a.m. and 12, 2, 4, and 6 p.m. The championship game is now set for Sunday at 1 p.m. COUGARS REMAIN PERFECT In games completed on Friday, the Cornwall Cougars remained undefeated thanks to a five run seventh that capped off a come-from-behind 8-7 win over Quebec No. One representative, Sud Ouest Dragons. Trailing 7-3 into the top of the seventh, Katherine Hay and Amanda Creamer helped get the Cougar bats alive with back to back hits that drove in three of the five runs. Hay (2-4, two RBI), Creamer (2-4, two RBI, run scored) and Emily Hodge (1-2, two run scored, walk, RBI) led the attack. Krista McLeod (3-4, triple, run scored, RBI) and Stephanie Perron (2-2, walk, RBI, double) had the hot bats for the Dragons. Jenn Riddel pitched a complete game, two hitter mowing down 12 batters and Ana Smelsky hit an inside the park home run to power Ontario no two representative Halton Hills past Quebec no two, Extreme Laval 3-0. Kristie Jackson (1-2, run scored, walk) was the other player to contribute in the win. Briann Alfred (1-3) and Vanessa Soucy (1-2) had the top hits for Quebec. Riddell walked one in earning the win. Soucy suffered the loss giving up three runs on three hits, walking four and fanning three over four innings of work. A ROSE-Y PICTURE FOR STRATFORD OPTIMIST Jennalee Shean pitched a complete game no hitter and April Rose had two triples as Stratford, the Ontario no. three representatives, got by Au Ptit Mousse of Lameque, N.B. (N.B. 2) 7-0. Rose scored twice, walked and also plated one run in the big victory. Kelly Glover (2-3, two RBI, double) was the other big bat for the Optimist Shean walked one and struck out eight. Maryse Richard took the loss, going six innings surrendering four runs on four hits while striking out two. Other scores from Friday were: Ontario champion Palmerston over Extreme Laval 9Quebec no. two) 7-4; Cole Harbour Comets (Nova Scotia no. 2) over New Brunswick 3, Saint John Stingers 13-3 in what was a close game until the late innings.
