82 Castlegar News June 13, 1990 SPORTS Fastball continued from page 81 struck out three over five innings, while going two-for-two at the plate as Labatts clubbed Trainor 9-0 at Kinnaird Park. The ‘‘l can’t win for losing’’ award goes to Salmo pitchers George Plotnikoff and John Obetkoff because no matter what they do, the other team always seems to do a little better. Case in point is a six-hitter thrown by Plotnikoff against Trainor Mechanical June 5. Fine and dandy, except Trainor’s Tony Kabatoff tossed a three-hitter and Plotnikoff took the loss in a 4-3 defeat. Kabatoff would be Trainor’s MVP to this point, according to player-coach Bob Marsh, because he’s another can-do-it-all kind of player. “‘He’s swinging a good stick and he’s a good pitcher. There's not much more you can ask,"’ said Marsh. Speaking of sweet swinging, Trainor’s Eli Chernenkoff has gone 11 for 14 in his last four games and could challenge Gret- chen for the hitting championship before the season’s over. Trainor also has’a rookie can- didate speedster Gerald Ryan who, until he was gunned out trying to take second by Banjo’s Jim Nazaroff last night, had stolen 11 bases in as many at- tempts this season and had four bunt singles. in the Where are they now?"’ category, last year’s hitting leader Bob Essaunce of Labatts has dropped off the edge of the earth third b this season, struggling at the plate with a .250 average.

Castlegar’s Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce slo-pitch team defeated its Kelowna counterpart 4-1 Saturday in Vernon to capture top spot in CIBC’s 10-team Interior slo- pitch tournament. Castlegar earned a place in the final by upending the defending champions from Vernon 8-5. It was Castlegar’s third win of the tournament which used a three-out version of slo-pitch. Castlegar CIBC plays in the Castlegar Slo-pitch League where all 10 players bat every inning. Earlier Saturday, Castlegar out- scored Fraser Marines of Vancouver 16-13 after opening the day with a 4-2 win over Kennedy Heights of Delta. Castlegar CIBC will host the tour- nament next year Pistons blast past in drive to title PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Beating the Trail Blazers three con- secutive games in Portland is tough. So is winning two consecutive NBA titles. The Detroit Pistons can do both with one more victory. Isiah Thomas made a champion- ship cél@pration Thursday night a possibi in a building where the Pistons, until this: week, hadn't won in 16 years. His 32 points led Detroit toa 112-109 victory Tuesday night. The Blazers must make history — no team has survived a 3-1 deficit in the final — to stop the Pistons from becoming only the third NBA fran- chise to win consecutive titles. “We're one win away, but we don’t take anything for granted,"’ Detroit's Mark Aguirre said. ‘‘We're happy to be up 3-1, but (Portland) never seems to quit.’* Between the Boston Celtics’ title in 1969 and the Los Angeles Lakers title in 1988, 18 years had passed without a repeat champion. Now, Detroit is we've got to win that,”” “‘When you do that, I think you can concentrate more on what you're doing. We've done that.”’ They also have rushed into the Por- ‘land Memorial Coliseum without worrying about what happened there before. Not since Oct. 19, 1974, when none of the current Pistons were on the team, had Detroit won there. Twénty ive losses d. That surviving the pressure of determination to knock off the king. “We go into every game saying we want to win this one,”” Aguirre said. “Then we got into the next one saying streak was snapped Sunday in a 121- 106 rout. Until Tuesday night’s game, Portland hadn't lost two consecutive home games this season. continued from page B1 record of four no-hitters. Along with no-hitters, Ryan has redefined the art of the strikeout. When Walter Johnson ended his career with 3,508 strikeouts in 1927, it seemed like a record that would last forever. Ryan fanned 14 A’s Monday to increase his all-time record to 5,152. -He has—more than 2,000 strikeouts in each league. At least Johnson’s record of 110 shutouts seems safe. Ryan has only 59, but he is closing in on Warren Spahn, Mordecai Brown and Eddie Plank. “tHe’s 43 years old and he’s throwing 93- and 94 miles-an-hour fastballs in the eighth and ninth in- ning,’’ Oakland third baseman Car- ney Lansford said. Ryan’s next target is 300 victories. He enters Saturday’s scheduled start at Seattle with a career record of 294- 266. Last season, Ryan led the major leagues with 301 strikeouts. Yes, he was also the oldest pitcher ever to fan 300 batters in a season and it was a record 21st time he struck out 100 or more in a season. Ryan’s 14 strikeouts against Oakland extended his record to 201 times with 10 or more strikeouts in a game. Among his strikeouts victims are 44 MVP winners including Hank Aaron, Ernie Banks, Johnny Bench, Roger Maris, Brooks Robinson and Harmon Killebrew. His 1,500th strikeout victim was Sandy Alomar, and a few games down the road he fanned Sandy’s son, Roberto. He has also whiffed Bobby and Barry Bonds, Tito and Terry Francona, Ken and Ken Griffey, Dick and Dick Schofield and Maury and Bump Wills.

Jones played golf in the 1930s when hickory shafts and gutta percha balls were the standard of the day. Yet he was able to strike the ball well in excess of 300 yards.
