tournament

THE NORTH Shore News mixed
orthodox softball team played to a
fifth-place playoff finish after be-
ing eliminated 11-3 by Perryscope
Productions.

In earlier action in the 16-team
Vancouver Media League, the
News topped second-place CFOX
15-8, but lost a close 7-6 match to
opponent CKWX.,

In the league final, The Province
beat defending champ 7-Eleven
16-7 and 26-13 to capture the top
spot and become the new league
champion.

Before starting the playoff, the
News played to fifth-place finish
out of 64 teams in the 10th annual
Richmond Centaurs Mixed Soft-
ball Tournament.

The News started off the
weekend-long tournament by play-

soundly defeating them in an easy
14-2 game.

In its second games, the News
squad took on the Spirits who fell
in another easy game — this time
17-4 — to make the overall News
record 2-0.

day the News first took on the
Galaxie Sign Sluggers, with the
game going into a tie-breaker with
the game at 8-8.

News came to bat. With two out
and the bases loaded Diane Materi
of the News punched a single into

enable the News to triumph 10-9.

Next the News downed the
Blacksox 12-4.
