Fastball Yic’s sink Tugs ‘RAIN HAMPERED the past week’s action in the North Shore men’s fastball league. The game that did survive the weather had the Lynnwood Yics winning their first game of the season by defeating Tugs Pub 4-2. Lynnwoed’s offense was led by Lonnie Metcalf who had one of three hits, and two of six walks. He stole two bases and scored three times. Metcalf’s rampage on the Tugs was all the offense pitcher Ernie Enair needed. Enair scattered the eight hits he gave throughout the six innings. Other action had Bowen Islaud overcoming an early 4-1 deficit by erupting for seven consecutive runs. By the end the team - dismantled Queens Cross Pub 8-4. The bat of Bowen’s Jack Bryck, who was 3 for 4 at the plate, and Lawson “Boots” Boutiler, who scored three curs including stealing home, gave pitcher Scott Lynas a chance to recover from a | shaky start. He finished off with four stroag innings to win. Tykes take lacrosse tourney THE NORTH Shore Tyke Lacrosse team kicked off the season in style, winning a recent three-day tournament in Port Moody.
