— Big comeback
for midgets |

Terrace goals to secure ‘the 8-5 §
victory, a dramatic comeback
from a 5-1 deficit. . a ,
‘Chad Wilson contributed a

TERRACE — Terrace’s ‘AA’
midget squad took on Prince
George's tougher ‘AAA’
hockey team in an exhibition
double-header last weekend and
walked away with, a split. -

The Terrace Totem Ford
midgets went down to-defeat 6-4
Mar, 16, but stormed back on
the 17th to.win 8-5.

The first game they held
down a 3-2:lead before running
out of steam in the third periad,
said team spokesman Steve
Smyth.

Ryan Matthews led Terrace
scoring, with two goals, while
teammates Rich Piattoni and
Chris Wilkinson each chipped
in another,

In the second game, it was.
looking rough for the Terrace
midgets, trailing 5-1 late in the
second periad. *

That was. the cue for Chris
Wilkinson to gear up, scoring
two Terrace goals in the final 16
seconds of that period. That
signalled the start of a hat trick
for Wilkinson, and an excep-
tional third period for the Ter-
race team.

“That gave us a real boost
going into the third,” Smyth
added.

The midgets shut Prince
George down in the third period
and scored five unanswered

Machines
on the
mound

TERRACE — Imagine baseball
played with no umpires, and no
pitchers. They’re replaced with
a mechanical marvel! called the
pitching machine, and it
delivers only strikes.

Well, meet Terrace Minor
Baseball’s Pitching Machine
League.

This isn’t the major leagues,
of course, or else there’d pro--
bably be a different kind of
strike, _

But: ‘swing-and-hit" is exactly
- what . organizers of the new:
league hope seven- to nine-year-
old youngsters in TMB’s rookie
division will be doing.

League president Earl Peden
_gaid Terrace Minor Baseball ex-
pects the Pitching Machine
League will make for a healthier
learning environment for
children just getting started.

The rules are simple. There
are no called balls or strikes and
nobody walks. Bach player gets
five pitches, all of which are in
the strike zone, off the machine
in which to put a fair ball in
play.

“The kids’ in this league don’t

have the fear of being hit by a
pitch or walking,”’ Peden says.
“They stand up there and sw-
ing, because they know the
pitch will be in the strike zone
and the ball’s not going to hurt
them.,”’

He called the new league an
effort to put playing before win-

ning, citing a recent Texas study:

that indicates the mechanical
pitcher ‘‘increased activity at
the plate and in the field.’’
Other. minor baseball
organizations that have tried the
system say the calibre of play
improved significantly
throughout ali divisions.

Smyth ‘called the exhibition
games in Prince George rough §
but: good, “‘Prince.George Isa
very big, strong, physical
team,”’ he said,: ;
