Mauraders Win Sr. title
By C. Scott Holland The Senior Cinderella division title of Leamington Minor Baseball was a hotly contested one in 1991 with the two teams vying for the crown putting up a total of 21 runs. The Fox Ready Mix Marauders doubled the Featherstone Realty Renegades 14-7. The Featherstone crew’s bats just couldn’t keep up with the run production shown by the Fox crew. Stephanie Wilding slugged two home runs for Featherstone while Michelle Martin knocked a homer, two doubles and a single. Kerrie Martin and Angela Featherstone bashed triples. Kelly McLellan ripped a single and double, as did Lindsay McFarland. Other singles came from the bats of Joumana Saad, Kerri Gow, Heather Dunford, and Angela Quenneville. The Fox Ready Mix team was led by Paula Biletti , who just missed hitting for the cycle with a homer, a triple and double. Pam Crerar belted a triple and single while Dawn Derbyshire and Laurie Tatomir cracked two singles each. The hit parade continued for Fox as Josephine Biletti cracked a double and single while Susan Baker collected four safeties. Joining in on the hitting spree were Trisha Frayne, Kim Woelk, Bev Bernabe and Jennifer Allison who all clubbed singles.
