slipped to 2 and 4. Home runs also played a very big part in Wildwood Catholic’s 4-3 win over Hammonton. Joe Alta clubbed a solo shot in the sixth inning to provide the margin of victory. Earlier in the contest. John Parejn and Jim Kurt/ had homers for the Crusaders. Dave Yalardo notched the win on the mound for Wildwood Catholic. With the win the Crusaders posted a 2 and 3 record. MIDDLE TOWNSHIP got a two-run homer from Mike Donovan but it wasn't enough as the Panthers lt»t 6-3 game to Buena. Two walks arid an error cost Middle two runs right off the bat and it never caught

up.

Ocean City ran its record to 4 and 0 on the year with a 5-3 victory over Holy Spirit. The number two was in the cards for David Miller in the win. Miller hit two home runs and tossed a two-hitter. Control was a bit of a problem for Miller, he walked 10 batters while striking out the same number. In other games last week. Ocean City topped Egg Harbor 4-3, Wildwood beat St. Augustine 4 to 1. Wildwood Catholic defeated Pleasantville 12-6, and Absegami beat Middle Township 5 to 2. Sally Pomykacz topped the girls softball circuit last week with three extra base hits in leading Lower Cape May past rival Wildwood 13 to 2. Pomykacz collected two doubles and a triple while pitcher Michelle Wanner tossed a two-hitter. Also contributing two-baggers were Josee Back and Michele Boyd.

I.isa Crompton had three hits, including a triple, for the Red Raiders. The win gave O.C. a 3 and 1 record. Also last week. Ocean City topped Holy Spirit 12-11 behind freshman Cristv Miller.

hits to back a six hit pitching performance from Doris Ross. Jennifer Snyder added to the hit column with three safeties. Snyder also swiped two bases. In all. the Panthers collected 12 steals. Kelly Gallagher looked more like George Brett at the plate than a Wildwood Catholic infielder Gallagher banged out a four-for-five day as the Crusaders beat Pleasantville I4r8’. IN BOYS TRACK action, doubles from Jim Grams. Willie Boyce and Joe Default propelled Lower Cape May to an 83-48 win over Wildwood Catholic. Jim Malinowski took two firsts for the Crusaders in the ^distance running events. Elsewhere, Joanthan Dice and Eugene Watts won three events apiece as Ocean City topped Egg Harbor 85-46. Dice took first in the 110 higher hurdles, the discus and the shot put. Watts won the high jump and two hurdle events. In the sprints. Leon Brown won twice for the Red Raiders. Absegami captured three triples in an 89-42 Middle. Township Oakcrest ran Wildwood. The score.

100-31.

Speaking of triples. Dot W'atkins. a junior, had one against Absegami as Middle posted a 67-45 win in girls track Susan Laird, not to be outdone, took a tripIe of her own for Absegami. Middle's record went to 1 and 2 with the victory. Ocean City's Melody Sye won three events and anchored a winning relay team in a 77-45 win over Egg Harbor Township. Marge Bonnet won two events for the Red Raiders as they raised their record to 4 and 0. Earlier in the week Ocean City nipped a tough Cumberland squad

62-60.

TWO VERY GOOD ten nis teams met last week and Lower Cape May came away with a close 3-2 win over Wildwood. Scott Swain and Mark LoCascio won singles for Lower while Bruce Blake look his singles match for the Warriors. Lower upped its record to 4-1 with the win. Wildwqod lost match number one. and is 3 and 1 on the season. “ Wildwood Catholic lost its third against two victories when it was blanked by Hammonton 54).

Middle Township lost a close match to Absegami 3-2 with the doubles team for the Panthers performing well. Wayne Towson and Tim Romig and Ed Spaulding and Tony Boyd were the winning combination for Middle. Ocean City's top match of the week prdved to be a 5-0 beating of Egg HarborTownship. Lou Paone and Scott Poling led the way. REMARKS: So far so good on the Phillies trades. The new members of the team have proved to help out in big wins so far. We'll still have to see how Gary Matthews treats the Phils when they go to Chicago later on.

I was glad to see Pete Rose get hit number 4,000. He still looks great — as good as he did when he joined the Phillies five years ago. All the talk about the Sixers' first draft pick is a waste of time because I have the answer. No matter who is going pro or not. the Sixers should draft the player they need the most. If he stays in school, the Sixers will still have the rights to him next year. Remember. Julius Ervlng is going to play only one more season. The Boston Celtics had to wait one year for a player and it paid off. That player was Larry Bird.

A&J Has Volleyball Top Spot

CAPE MAY - Iveague power A&J's Seafood took on last-placo Rio Grande Building Materials in the first match last week. In the first game A&J's jumped out to a big 10-3 lead over Rio Grande. Excellent spikes by Donna Troiano helped Rio Grande to narrow A&J's lead but good net coverage by Jan MacKcnzic helped A&J's to keep Rio Grande in check as A&J’s went on to win 15.8. In game two it appeared that A&J’s had things wrapped up as they went ahead of Rio Grande 14.6. However. Rio Grande's Mario Franco then came up to serve and reeled off 10 consecutive points to steal the game for Rio Grande 16-14. A&J’s took revenge on Rio Grande in game three as it completely dominated play, thanks to the excellent court coverage and spikes by Bob Jackson. In the early going of game four it looked as if A&J's was going to destroy Rio Grande again as it took a 13-0 lead behind the consistent sets of Judy Maxlowc. Rio Grande managed to battle back to make it 13‘6. A&J’s then took it to game point (14-6) before Rio Grande’s Frank Vogel placed six perfect serves to come within two points before A&J’s wrapped it up at 15-12. IN THE NEXT match two evenly matched teams took each other on as the Mug met the Potter. In the first game the Potter took a comfortable 12-5 lead over the Mug with excellent spikes by Terri Taylor. The Mug narrowed the Potter’s lead to 12-9. The Potter took it to game point at 14-9 but the Mug's Sue McKee served for seven straight points to give her team a come-from-behind 16-14 victory. In game two the Mug took an 8-2 lead and never looked back as it won easily 15-8, thanks to good court coverage. The Mug took gome three easily 15-4 behind powerful spikes by Mike Bonner.
