LEAGUE LEADING NORTH STARS GO TO 8 AND 0 The league defending champions , the North Stars , continue their domination of all opponents . Monday night in Azilda at the Rick McDonald Memorial Park , site of this year's bantam boys U-15 softball/fast pitch Ontario Summer Games , the North Stars defeated the Garson Hounds 12-2 for their eight strait victory and a 10 point lead on the rest of the pack . Once again John Ainslie now 7-0 started and gave way to Bruce MacDonald (0-0) in the fourth frame once the North Stars were up 5-1. Ainslie gave up but one earned run on four hits while fanning 2 Hounds and not issuing a single base on balls. Reliever MacDonald (first innings pitched of the season) gave up one earned run on 3 hits , struck out one batter and issued two base on balls. Gary Lamothe (0-2) , in his second full outing of the present campaign suffered his second consecutive loss of the season , giving up 12 runs on 12 hits while fanning four North Stars and issuing three base on balls. Veteran Dwight Beers led the way for the winners going 2 for 3 at the dish (double, home run, run scored , 3 runs batted in ) while teammate Pitou Paquette hit a perfect 2 for 2 (double, run scored , 2 runs batted in). Newcomer , Shane Bene , hit 1 for 2 (run scored ,base on balls) in a losing cause for the Hounds. Due to unforeseen circumstances the doubleheader scheduled originally for Whitefish Lake First Nation on Wednesday night has been cancelled and will be rescheduled at a later date. League action now resumes on Thursday night June the 24th in Garson at the Lorne Brady Memorial Park when the struggling Whitefish Lake First Nation Steelers take on the Garson Hounds at 7 PM followed by the nightcap at 9 PM under the lights when the surging Parry Island Hawks face the Pickerel River Cardinals.
