Weather was perfect for the "Flip the Switch" celebration held on June 17.
PBMSA teams had their offical team and individual pictures taken from 4:00 p.m.
until 6:00 p.m. Those who stayed around were then entertained by 3-pitch
and soccer games involving some of the younger players. The men's division
of the home run derby was won by Plattsville arena manager Darren Hall in an
exciting tie-breaker. A team of PBMSA coaches and "Light Up the Millennium"
committee members then took on the CHAM radio celebrities team in a slo-pitch
game under the new and very impressive diamond lights.
A lucky woman
from New Hamburg won both both the firstprize quilt and second prize afghan
made and donated by Mrs. Elva Davidson. A lucky ticket-holder from Paris
won the propane barbecue.
The 1999 PBMSA Lassies enjoyed a very successful season last year. The team
finished second in the North Division of the South Oxford Softball League with
a record of 24 wins, 9 losses and 3 ties. The team entered the provincial
playdowns for the Ontario Rural Softball Association and advanced to the final
round where it faced a strong team from Dutton. After dropping the game
1 in Bright, the Lassies came back to defeat their opposition in game 2 in Dutton.
In an exciting third game showdown, Plattsville battled to the bottom
of the final inning before surrendering the winning run to their host.
