Page 10-May 15, 1986-Fort Covington Sun-Fort Covington, N.Y, By Sandy Cook It's the third Thursday in May, and finally the weather is beginning to reflect the date. It's been a sunny, mild week so far May Mother Nature continue to smile upon us after what must have been an out- standing Mother's Day. We try to get in all the sports news we can in this space. Forgive us if once in a while we miss a sport or a name...the constraints of the pages of The SUN don't necessarily jive with the word- iness of this reporter at times. It's my fault, not the editors'. The Troopers and Hackers Golf League started on a cloudy, cool evening last Tuesday. The team of Bill Pelcher and yours truly did all right for the first night, taking 5V'2 points. We're already in eighth place, right where we ended up last year. So we fig- ure we're still continuing our ascent up the standings. Will Montreal take the Stanley Cup? I hope not, but it looks likely. Les Canadiens will be well rested and ready for the finals. No matter who they play, I'll say Montreal in five... grudgingly, As for the NBA....wake me up in the final two minutes of the title game. I figure it's going to be just the right time to watch Boston start the post-game celebration. My condolences to Dave and John now that the Sixers have made another early playoff exit. Still no word from Buffalo on the imminent firing of Scorn Bowman yet. I saw Dan at the prom Saturday nigh> and he agreed that some- thing rrn'st be done. So. we'll work on it and get back to you. L\n••::! next week, thanks for redding, and enjoy vour sporrs. GIRLS SOFTBALL V;imor, River's second-year girh Softball program took a giant step toward respectabil- itv last week. Coach Kathy B'j r kctt's club played well against perennial powerhouse Sr Lawrence Central before bowi'ig, 9-5, in Larrieiand last Thursday. Then SRCS ran roughshod over Brushton- Moira, 31-13, in Bombay on Saturday. The 31 run total is the high- est m Salmon's brief softball historv. The win is number two on the year, doubling last season's win record. SLC spotted the green and white visitors a run in the top of the first inning last Thurs- day. Alison Swamp led off the game with a single, then scored on Dawn King's RBI hit. Before the first frame was up, though, the Larries had four runs of their own. SRCS produced two runs in the top of the third, bath com- ing with two outs. Swamp drew a walk. Sarah Swamp then knocked a single. Both came across on a King double, giving the Shamrock pitcher three RBI. With their margin cut to 4- 3, St. Lawrence scratched out a run in the bottom of that frame, and added three more in their half of the fourth to make the advantage 8-3. Sarah doubled and later scored in the fifth, but SLC got that run right back minutes later. In the Salmon sixth, Amie Swamp singled and later tal- lied the last run of the day. As you might expect, there were many hitting stars last Saturday, Alison Swamp, King, Amie Swamp, and Joy- lynn Brosseau rapped three hits apiece in the debacle. Sarah Swamp collected two hits, and scored six of the seven times she wet to bat. Stephanie Richards also had two hits, and five runs scored. Michele Raville and Tina Tarbell also nailed two hits apiece. Dorothy Smoke and Nikki Bingham added a hit each. In a midweek encounter, St. Regis Falls won the first extra- inning game of the year, 5-4, at the Bombay field. The visitors tallied twice in the top of the eighth inning, then held SRCS to just one run in its half of that stanza to gam the victory, After the Saints opened the scoring with a run m the top of the first, Salmon countered with two in its half of that inning. Again Alison Swamp started the uprising with a sin- gle. Sarah also singled right behind her. Both were brought home by King's potent bat, which produced a double and a 2-1 Shamrock lead. SRF caught up by pushing a run across in the second. The battle continued that way until the blue and gold tallied for a 3-2 lead in the sixth. Bingham led off the green and white half with a double, and later came around to knot the count at 3-all, setting the stage for the baseball overtime. The Falls got their two runs in the top of the eighth and left three more on base, while one of their runners was cut down by a fine SRCS defensive plays while trying to score. Salmon's eighth saw Amie Swamp draw a one-out walk, then score on a Brosseau sin- gle. Brosseau and a teammate were stranded when Alison lined sharply to shortstop for the third out, snuffing out the comeback attempt. That was her only out of the day, com- pleting a 4-for-5 afternoon. GIRLS TRACK They took six first place- s...eight seconds...and seven thirds...but Coach Mary Beth Harvey's SRCS girls track team fell a whisker short of getting its initial win of the season at Tupper Lake last week. Final score: TL 143/2, l Salmon 142 1 /2. Heartbreaking though it was, there were many signs of improvement in last Tues- day's meet. Reliable Debbie Lauzon came though came though as a double winner, taking the 800 and 1500 meter races. Teresa Adams also took two events, the 100 and 400 hurdles. Roxanne Phillips posted a time faster than anybody else's in the 3000 meter run, beating out team- mate Lauzon by a breath and a half. Salmon's other blue ribbon was won by the 3200 relay firm of Phillips, Debo, Massaro, and Ransom. Their win in the day's first race made the Lady Lumberjacks sit up and take notice of this up and coming Shamrock crew. Lauzon and Adams also took part in last weekend's Malone Invitational. Debbie won both her races, the 3000 and 1500 meters, and accounted for more points (20) than three other teams. In the meet at Tupper, seconds were taken by Marion Jones (100 meters and long\ jump). Carrie Greene (200 meters), Jessica Russell (triple jump), Melissa Rourke (dis- cus), Lauzon (3000 meters), and the relay quartets of Adams, Seidel, Greene, and Cook (400) and Ransom, Rus- sell, Cartier and Massaro 15'x20' Brown Sculpture Was *298.40 Now *228.00 13'6\x15' Blue Sculpture Was H 78.80 Now *135.00 12'x12' Four Season's Brown Was*95.20 Now»74.40 12'x17'8\ Tarkett Vinyl Was H 39.00 Now H 09.00 DWYER'S FloorCovering ^^ West Main St., Malone 483-2170 (1600). i Third places were authored by Greene (100 meters) Seidel (200 meters and triple jump),' Ransom (800), Debo (1500),' Russell (shot,put) and Adams (high jump). Coach Harvey's charges have a busy week, what with hosting Massena on Wednes- day, then joining with the boys track crew of Coach Chris Disotelle for the annual Van Dusen Meet in Ogdensburg this Saturday. LACROSSE Look out, Section 10-j Salmon River's lacrosse for- tunes are on the rise again. After suffering through a rough early part of the 1986 campaign, Coach Dave White's Shamrock laxmen are getting it all together gradu-; ally. Full evidence of this was shown last week, as SRCS won twice -11-4 over St. Lawrence, and 13-4 over General Vanier. Salmon's defense-which was suspect early on after sur- rendering 2 goals to Massena- hasn't come close to giving up that many since. And the offense has jelled nicely, com- bining many talents to ring up 24 goals in two games. In Brasher Falls last Tues- day, SRCS made short work of a Larrie crew that's been going through a transition year. Phil- lip Swamp paced the green and white with three goals and an, assist. Mitch Cook-whogets to score in lacrosse instead of try- ing to stop everybody else as in hokey-rustled the new with two goals and passed off on three more. Glenn Swamp and Marcel Almond accounted for two goals and passed off on three more. Glenn Swamp and marcel Almond accunted for two goals and an assist apiece. Louie Gray stopped SLC shots at key times, including several thwarts of attempts by the Larries' Mr. Everything, Steve Yandoh. The location shifted to Cornwall on Friday, but the momentum stayed with Sal- mon River as the Shamorcks belted the Vikings. This time, Chris Thomas had the hot hand, with four goals and tossed out two assists, and Enoch Kim notched a tally for the winners. Gray was again steady in goal. It looks like the two-time defending sectional cham- pions are coming on strong, just two weeks before sectional time. The green and white still must wade through tough encounters with Massena and Caiton-and St. Lawrence again-before they can start to consider post-season play. And with the sectional semifi- nals going back to teams which have better records getting a home semi-finals going back to teams which have better . records getting a home semi- final game, SRCS needs to keep winning to gain that important Shamrock field edge. BASEBALL As the Salmon River varsity baseball crew headed into two \ crucial games against Brush- ton and St. Lawrence this week, the mood was definitely } jptempo.
