Lloyd Haddon was a star of the 1968 Peace River, Alberta, Baseball Tournament.

Playing for the Beaverlodge entry, Haddon set a tourney record by smashing six home runs. In one game, he had three round trippers, driving in eight runs.

Haddon, a long-time hockey star in the West, went six for ten with four intentional walks.

Umpire Ed Weber makes the call as Saskatoon Commodores' Randy Munch tries to get back to first base after Unity pitcher Ross Stone had snared Bob Lewis' bunt in the air and fired to first baseman Irl Flanagan for the double play. 

Commodores won the Northern Saskatchewan League game 6-5 in 10 innings.
