Tjflr- ***** m***- +***+ • •***— * ii jtfi j.- ' ** a****- ** FOR SOFTBALL MIDGETS Pitching too powerful One of the reasons the Permanent-Nechako Real Estate midget reps moved up into the senior women’s softball league this year was pitching. They wanted to face tyugher, harder throwers. The midgets got that and more Thursday night as Fern Carifelle shut them out with a three-hitter to lead Porter and Howat to a 12-0 victory. Carifelle struck out eight and was never in trouble as she went the distance for Porter and How-at’s third win of the young season. She also led Porter and Howat hitters, going four-for-five at the plate. Pat Collie had a double and was two-for-three, as was Cheryl Bayne. Gladys Walper was tagged with the loss, giving up 11 runs before being replaced by Kerri Schol-ten. Scholten was impressive in relief, giving up just one hit through the final three innings. Porter and Howat virtually wrapped up the game in the first inning, striking for five runs. Carifelle rapped a single to score March, and after Darlene McIntosh singled and Collie walked to load the bases, Bayne reached first on an error to score Carifelle. Porter and Howat added three more unearned runs before the inning ended. In another development, Porter and Howat has been awarded a victory in last week’s game against the Haircutters Sundowners, which was callcd due to darkness in the fifth inning with Porter and Howat leading 9-0. Normally, a game must bo replayed if it doesn’t go five complete innings, but league president Barry Boehmer says he awarded the win to Porter and Howat, because the Sundowners had not paid their league dues prior to the game. The league’s invitational tournament starts tonight at 7 p.m. Oakland A’s record-setting thief Hickey Henderson is off to a slow start this year. After stealing a record 130 bases last season, Henderson is far off that pace with only 12 so far in 1983. He had 35 at this time last year. FORD SLUGGING Orioles slip past Jays Sunrise's win not easy TORONTO (CPI -Baltimore pitcher Scott McGregor simplified his outlook on baseball and Orioles' slugger Dan Ford had to do something to celebrate his birthday. The result was a 2-1 American League victory Thursday night over the Toronto Blue Jays. McGregor,, who hadn’t lasted longer than four innings in three previous starts this month, snapped a personal two-game losing streak with his fourth victory of the season against two losses. The veteran lefthander went eight and one-third innings, scattered six hits, struck out four and walked none before Tim Stoddard came in for one out and Tippy Martinez finished to earn his fourth save. Ford, who hit a paltry .235 last season, hammered a two-out, two-run home run in the eighth inning off loser Mike Morgan. 0-3, who had retired 12 Orioles in a row before John Shelby preceded Ford’s homer with a double. Morgan went seven and two-third innings, struck .out a career-high seven batters and walked one. It was the third straight winning run-bat-ted-in for Ford, who spent most of his 31st birthday travelling and watching the rain fall. The game was delayed two hours and four minutes by the downpour. Designated hitter Cliff Johnson spoiled McGregor’s shutout bid in the ninth inning with his fifth home run of the season, snapping the Orioles' shutout streak at 32 innings. “One thing that happens in this game and you never want it to happen, is that you start taking the game too seriously,” said McGregor “You have to take things one day at a time and really be relaxed and remember you've got 162 games and if that doesn’t do it. 10 years from now nobody’s going to remember what you ever did so who cares anyway? “That's the way you should look at the game. That way it takes all the pressure off and makes the game a lot more simple. That's where slumps come from, if you get too wrapped up in all that “The cloud lifted this week and I got my head back on in the right direction and it makes a lot of difference.” Right-hander Jim Gott, 0-3, will face the Orioles tonight against right-hander Dennis Martinez, 3-6 Baltimore leads the AL East with a 23-13 record, while Toronto is four games back at 18-16 Sunrise Rentals was taken to the limit, but succeeded in winning its fourth straight men’s slo-pitch game Thursday.
