Larry Terry leads CPB to victory
By DUANE E. HARRIS
Sports Editor
It was definitely a classic example of a
game between pitchers. Central
Progressive's Larry Terry and KC's Ron
Lavigne.
"Don't be surprised if Larry Terry is
the league's best pitcher," commented
Mrs. Baseball, Margie Lessard, from the
press box when the CPB team outwitted
the KC's 4-0 Monday, May 20.
Central Progressive remained un-
defeated and the KC team suffered its
second loss of the season.
Larry Terry's unique change-up pitch
may have been the reason for striking
out nine batters and allowing only two
hits in four innings. Larry took the
mound in the third frame from Stanley
Brown who gallantly struck out three
batters, walked one and allowed his op-
ponents only one single hit.
But don't think that Larry and Stanley
had no competition. KC's Ron Lavigne
went the distance pitching the entire six
innings of play. Ron struck out 11 CPB
batters, walked three and allowed seven
hits. Added to his list was a wild pitch
which was met by Chris Wilson's head
in the fifth frame.
So how did these talented pitchers
feel about the situation thrust upon
them? CPB starting pitcher Stanley
Brown replied simply, "Ron doesn't
compare. Larry and I aren't worried at
all."
But Ron Lavigne's ability was clearly
stated by his coach Tommy Ragan:
"Ron's good. He's a strong player with a
good arm who has greatly improved
from last year."
But sooner or later something just
had to break.
Intense action was seen by both
team's first baseman. First evidence of
this was shown early in the initial frame
through the efforts of CPB first baseman
Brett Tilyou.
KC batter Tommy Ragan reared up
to bat second and rapped out a sure fire
double. But the dream never came to
life because Tommy's high fly was single
handedly captured by Gene Malone
who in turn relayed it to Brett at first. In
a frenzy, KC's starting batter Corey
Dufreche scrambled back to first but was
caught short by Brett for the double play
of the day. Corey was also the KC first
baseman.
Brett Tilyou then boasted his opinion
that, "I'm faster than Corey." Corey
merely shrugged that comment off in a
later discussion.
Although it was a pitching game there
was still an outstanding example set by
the entire CPB team.
Perhaps it may be the ringing voice of
CPB coach AI Corrclean dancing
through the players ers saying "They're
here to play guys. Whaterver you do,
always worry about the man at third and
let the guy go at second. If I catch you
swinging at a high ball you'll see what's
going to happen," a direct quote taken
from Coach AI during his team's pep
talk.
The players wholeheartedly vowed to
play the best that was possible.
But the KC team gave CPB a run for
their money.
The game was not one-sided. It was
just that both teams matched up evenly
until the fifth frame when CPB broke
loose scoring two runs on four hits.
The KC's sent three up and picked up
three outs in an attempt to answer
CPB's call. But CPB only picked up
speed in the sixth inning scoring two
more runs on Larry Terry's spectacular
home run and a run pulled home by
Brett Tilyou.
Larry's home run cleared the fences
by over fifty feet and fans combed the
woods for hours but found no clear
evidence of the ball.
Larry's father desperately wanted his
son's homer but had to settle with a ball
presented to him from the pressbox.
Following the game, Gene Malone
who spoke on behalf of the CPB team
quipped "It was just a good game and
we just won."
At the mound for CPB, Larry Terry
finished as the winning pitcher who
struck out nine KC batter and allowed
only two hits. Starting pitcher Stanley
Brown who pitched the first two innings
struck out three batters, walked one and
allowed only one single.
Larry Terry led the team with a home
Wolfe Lumber outwits Land of Sports 14.4
Remember the old saying: dynamite
comes in small packages? If not, Wolfe
Lumber's powerful 14-4 win over Land
of Sports Thursday, May 16 would
have refreshed your memory.
Wolfe powerhoused the Land of
Sports underdogs in every aspect of the
game.
Wolfe sent up four players to rap out
concise doubles, a triple base hit and
three incredible home runs.
In the majors, such overwhelming
stats bring back thoughts of late greats
like Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron. In
Dixie Youth ball, those thoughts bring
• back fond memories of Micheal Landry,
Stanley Layrisson, Rick Wilson and
Paige Cowart to those still in touch with
the little league world of today.
But history is made every day.
Todd Lebourgeois toppled the team
stats for Wolfe with three runs taken on
a double, a home run and a walk. Scott
Lemoine followed, scoring two runs on
a double and a home run; Daniel
Hoover edged in two more runs taken
on a triple and a walk; Bubba Edwards
brought home two more runs on a
double and a walk; Wesley Youger ad-
ded a run on three hits and Bradley
-Michelli attributed yet another run on a
walk.
Jaycees powerhouse CNB 1 1-6
Anyone would agree that any Dixie
Youth team that scored I I runs taken
on 12 hits in which there were seven
doubles and a home run, two walked
batters, eight strike outs and II RBI's
obviously did their homework the week
before.
The Jaycee team listed the above
stats Friday, May 17 when the Jaycees
defeated the CNB leaguers I 1-6.
Brad Berner could have been con-
sidered as the man with the plan that
ght for the Jaycees. Brad excelled as
the team's leading scorer with four runs
- almost half of the team total. Brad did
so by rapping out two doubles, a home
run and a walk. Bobby Wolfe also
bounced off two doubles but scored two
runs. Jason Wagner and Darryl Falcon
followed with two runs each as John
Foggleman and Stephen Disher each
attributed one.
Darryl Falcon achieved honors
bringing home four ribeyes, Stephen
Other outstanding players on the
Wolfe'team were Scott Kemp, Kevln
Crowe, Chase Temple and Chris Our-
so.
In an ending composite, Wolfe
tbtaled 14 runs, 13 hits in which there
were four doubles and three grand
slams and a triple, seven walked batters,
11 strike outs and 14 team RBI's.
Land of Sports was there although
not a sound was heard from their sup-
portive fans.
Land of Sports silently scored four
runs on four hits, walked eight batters,
13 strike outs and four RBI's.
Brady Mathews and Chris Reeves
Disher adaed three. Brad Berner pulled
home two as Chad Falcon and Ronnte
Leblanc each added one.
CNB may have lost but it wasn't as
though the 12 player team didn't try. In
fact, at some points their performance
surpassed that of the Jaycee team.
Chucky Martin and Scott Price
proved that with a triple each that
scored not only their run but two others
as well.
Aaron Sharp, who rattles the op-

run and Brett Tilyou, Stanley Brown
and Derik Allen each brought home a
run on a hit.
Stanley Brown and Gene Malone led
in the stolen base department with two
each and Stanley Brown, Chris Wilson
and Jeremy Schmidt were the only
CPB players walked.
Other players who devoted their lives
to the game were Siuki Correleou with a
double and two strike outs; Ronnie
Corbin, Tommy Lucas, Chris Wilson,
Jeremy Schmidt and Damon Delaune.
In all, CPB compiled four runs taken
on seven hits in which there was a
double and a home run, four stolen
bases, three walked batters and 11
strike outs.
At the mound for the KC's the now
weary Ron Lav|gne who pitched the en-
tire six innings struck out 11 players and
walked three. Quite an individual vic-
tory!
Jason McMorrts, TQmmy Ragan and
Heath Lavigne were the only players
to take a base hit for the KC team.
Jason scorced the baseline on a triple
while Tommy and Heath each at-
tributed a single.
Tommy Ragan and Denver Morse
succeeded as the only KC players who
didn't list a single strike out.
The KC's composited three hits in
which one was a triple, two stolen
bases, a walked batter and 12 strike
outs.
"B.J.'s a good player. He's always in
there doing his best," commented Dixie
Youth's official scorekeeper Mrs. Margie
Lessard. better known as Mrs. Baseball.
Mrs. Baseball had been doing her
homework because B.J. played an
excellent game against Hanna
Construction Friday, May 17 in which
Citizens defeated Hanna 19-3.
B.J. led his team in scoring with two
runs taken on a single and a home run
that pulled the fans from their seats.
B.J. also attributed an RBI and a strike
out.

Devin Barrlnger led the team with two.
Devin was also walked twice and was
credited with one ribeye.
Playing to their fullest were Jeff Men-
zer, Jeff Yent, Mark Canterbury, Chad
Roussel, Tracy Canterbury, Trey Lan-
dry, Andrew Perriloux and Micheal
Barnes.
To conclude, the top teams start off
with KFC and Central Progressive
which remain undefeated. The KC's
and Wolfe follow in there as their
position waves about the results of the
Jaycees.
punent's pitcher was walked three
times; Kevin Gregolre and Todd Yenni
were walked twice each and Todd also
led the team in individual RBl's with
two.
Chad Roberts, Jay Robertson, Scott
Price, Richard Stllley and Mike Puma
were the scorers for CNB who were led
by Scott with two runs.
CNB compiled six runs taken on six
hits in which two were triples, 10
walked batters, | 1 strike outs

Much of the remaining credit goes to
the pitching team for Citizens.
Jayme Berthelot and Jarred Ryan
held Hanna down to only three runs
taken on a hit, four walks and 11 clean
strike outs.
Jayme pitched in one frame, three
consecutive strike outs, and in four
innings relief pitcher Jarred Ryan
cleared the field with eight strike outs
and four walks. Sounds like first place
pitcher Stephen Perrin of. the
undefeated KFC team has some stiff
competition.
Kelly Perrin and Justin Wells also led
the team's scoring strategy wlth two
runs each. Bryan Wolfe, Charlie
Landry, Jarred Ryan, Brandon
Wagner, Kevin Shockley, Stephanie
Wald and Davis Burdett followed in
scoring for the winning team with one
run each.
However, Hanna did its best and
even used four different pitchers but the
team's performance remained the
same. Chris Bowman, Steve
Henderson, Brad Womer and Jack
Gabriel together pitched 11 impressive
strike outs but walked 13 and allowed
nine hits.
