Pa. First-year manager John Colley and Ijis crew earned a spot in the l&team national finals by sweeping Belleville last weekend in a best-of-three regional series alt Eastem Michigan University. 9-0 and 8-1. Pitching carried the Redford aggregation into the finals. Colley admitted, as Steve Perry limited Belleville to three hits in the regional finals and Brian McMahon held Belleville to a like number of hits in the semi-finals Perry struck out 10 and did not walk a batter daring his nine innings of work, while McMahon 'was just as good. He fanned 13 and issued only one free pass. "I knew we had three kids back from last year's team that went to Johnstown, but 1 never expected it this year," an elated Colley said after the double triumphs. Redford scored early and spread around its production of runs in very similar manners during both contests.

He stole second and scored on a Mezigian single. Mezigian stole second and scored himself on a single by Ackerman Walks to Ackerman, Randy Rodriguez and Willard proceeded a single by Robertson in the eighth inning for the final two runs of the game.

Anderson sent Mezigian home with a single and Ackerman scored on a fielder's choice, with Robertson credited with the RBI Redford added two more runs in the second inning Musto singled. Kuschel was hit - f • by a pitch and Mezigian singled to load the bases Ackerman forced Musto at the plate, but Kuschel scored on a fielder's choice and Mezigian crossed the plate on a passed ball.
