Thynne said the back-and-forth game was tied at 9-9 going into the bottom of the seventh inning, when Strokin’ got the winning Tun. “We were actually the only team that gave them a run. We © were the first decent game they had in the tournament. They were pretty worried.” Ron’s Disposals followed this excellent showing with what Thynne called “our worst game all weekend.” The team dropped a 7-4 deot sion to the other B-C team entered, from Surrey. “One bad inning was all that did it,” said Thynne, noting all Sur- rey’S runs came in the fourth inning, “When we lost that game, that knocked us out of the tourna- ment,’ he said. Sumey ended up in fourth, and because they lost to Surrey, Ron’s Disposals took fifth. “We're fifth in the country. We have nothing to be ashamed of,” said Thynne.
