The Owen Sound Midget Selects and Clifford Lumber Kings split their

Sunday afternoon.
The Selects came back to win the opener 5-4, but Clifford evened the day

In the opener, The Selects scored three times in the bottom of the 6th to
erase a 4-2 Clifford lead and score the victory.
In the 6th, Selects thirdbaseman Matt Murphy walked and advanced to third on
wild pitches.
After Brandon Best walked, Designated Player Ryan Carefoot knocked in Murphy
with an rbi single to close the gap to 4-3.
Both Best and Carefoot would come around to score when the Lumber Kings
committed their only errors of the ball game.
David Juniper went 7 innings to record the victory, giving up 10 hits and
striking out 4 batters.
Greg Officer took the loss. He stranded 10 Selects on base, but was
victimized by the late rally.
