Jonathan Green 365-7266 LEAGUE CHAMPS Castlegar’s Little Leagues rrows hi Ml Banjo’s Pub sees $900 disappear with one swing of a mighty Invermere bat Jonathan Green — SPORTS REPORTER The annual PK Memorial Fastball Tourna- crowned their new winners last weekend, as Royal Canadian Legion downed Canada Safeway 12-1 in the Major Little League final, while NRS Realty beat Kats Trophys/Johnny’ s Grocery 13-4 in the Minor Little League final. KING OF THE DINOS Although Bill Perehudoff’s middle riame is William, it might as well be Consistent. The Thrums resident put together four straight 9’s of 38 for a 152 total and a six-stroke victory over Mickey Johnson of Trail in the annual Dinosaur Open at the local course last week. News photo by Jonathan Green Banjo’s Sheldon Sookachoff flashes the signs in PK Memorial action Saturday. The Invermere ment had all the makings of a Hollywood script. The final game pitted the hometown heroes * against the visiting favorites and it all came down to the last at-bats but unfortunately for Banjo’s Pub, this isn’t Hollywood. The local squad squared off with the favored Invermere Arrows in Sunday’s final game, a team they had defeated earlier in the tourna- ment. With the score tied 2-2 in the bottom of the seventh inning, the visitors got the game win- ner on a solo home run. The 3-2 victory gave the all-Native Arrows 900 reasons to celebrate as they collected the $900 champion’s cheque. Banjo’s, meanwhile, earned $400 for being second-best. . Banjo’s coach Jim Nazaroff said the final was indicative of the games leading up to it. “The final four games were that close,” he said. “They were real crowd pleasers.” With five local squads and the visitors from Invermere competing, Nazaroff said the people who came out to watch got their money's worth. “It was a pretty evenly matched tourna- ment,” he said. Nazaroff said the final was reminiscent of a tournament in Appledale last month. He said Banjo’s lost to Invermere in the round-robin portion of that tourney, only to meet the Arrows again in the Appledale finale. Mother Nature got the better of the two squads, though, as rain forced cancellation of the final and the two squads split the first- and second-place cash. Banjo’s was splitting nothing at the PK tour- ney, though. The local squad trimmed the Ar- rows by one run in the round-robin portion of the tournament, only to see $900 escape them with one swing of a mighty bat. “That was kind of like the breaker match,” Nazaroff said of the finale. “Whoever won had bragging rights.” Nazaroff said Banjo’s will try to reclaim those rights when a collection of Castlegar players head to Invermere this weekend. “Everybody can hit the ball and play their position,” he said, “but it’s pretty tough to tell if the guys will jive together to play as a team.” In league action, the Castlegar Merchants looked to be turning things around Monday as they ended a five game losing streak with a 6- 4 win-over the Valley Royals. Results of last night’s action between the Merchants and Big O Tire and Banjo’s against Nelson were un- available at press time. Arrows beat Banjo’s in the tourney final, 3-2. bull's eye COMING UP ROSES The 104,000 seat Rose Bowl in Pasadena will be the site of the World Cup soccer championship game July 17, 1994. FIFA, world governing body for the sport, also announced the tournament's opening game June 17 between defending champ Germany and an opponent to be drawn later will be held at Chicago's Soldier Field. NEWS STAFF The Castlegar Hi Arrow Devils experienced a classic case of good news-bad news in West Kootenay. Men’s Soccer League action over the weekend. The good news is they outscored their opposition 13-1 in games against Rossland and Nel- son Heritage. The bad news is the locals did all their scoring in one game. Saturday, the Devils traveled to Rossland and needed no more than Jonathan Green’s opening marker, humbling the short- staffed hosts 13-0. “Regardless of if they had 11 guys, we were going to win,” Dev- ils coach Carlos Amaral said. But any hopes of continuing with the:scoring were dashed the next day, as the Devils fell 1-0 to league-leading Nelson Heritage for the second time this season. Amaral said unlike the previ- ous meeting between the two, the Devils were on top the ball but again couldn’t find the net. “When it came to scoring chances, we had more than they did,” he said. “We just couldn’t score a goal.” The loss kept the Devils from gaining any ground on Heritage or second-place Nelson Savoy, but Amaral said his squad has no rea- son to hang their heads. “It was a good game and there’s nothing our team should be ashamed of,” he said. “We de- served to win. “That should have been our game (Sunday). It was just one of those games where thé ball didn’t go in the net.” The Devils head into the sum- mer break six points back of Her- itage, five back of Savoy and one ahead of Nakusp. Amaral said the team’s second half schedule is easier than the first, but he said it’s something the league leaders will enjoy as well. “First place, you might as well forget,” he said. “Hopefully we'll go back in the fall, pick up a couple of wins and finish in second place. “I’m looking forward to the playoffs.” In other action Sunday, Nakusp beat Fruitvale 4-0, Savoy won by default over Trail and Castlegar Dexter’s Dynamos’ match against eer was postponed until the all.
