The team’s brilliant performance in­ cluded a home run, a double .play and a double steal. For the Seaforth players, the tilt ended their first season in the Huron-Perth league. Despite their shaky start in June, the newcomers played creditable ball over the schedule and should, in a year or two, strengthen the league. Mohawks will now meet the league champions, Mitchell Le­ gionnaires, in a best-of-seven set for the loop's “C” title. The win­ ner will advance into OBA play­ offs. Monday’s game was scoreless until the fifth when Exeter broke out with four runs, highlighted by Elson’s circuit clout, The Mo­ hawks added two in the eighth and another four in the ninth. Bob Meharg continued his play­ off batting sprint with three sin­ gles in five tries. Steve Mitro and Howie Holtzman both collected two safeties on the night. Harry Jacobi, the twisting righthander who once played for Exeter, started for Seaforth and struck trouble right on the open­ ing pitch. Lome Haugh singled and Doug Smith, the second bat­ ter, dropped in a texas-leaguer. Jacobi pulled out of the hole in sensational fashion — he fanned two, gave Fred Darling an inten­ tional pass, and put the next man out swinging on air. Mohawks four-run spree in the fifth came after two were out. Doug Smith singled, stole second and came home when the first baseman bobbled Har Holtzman’s grounder. Jack Elson smacked a hard drive into left centre which . rolled out of the field and past the parking lot for a homer. Fred Darling and Bob Meharg both hit singles to bring around another run. Jacobi was pulled from mound in the eighth after first three hitters bingled in runs. Meharg started the with a single, Steve Mitro lowed with another and Howie Holtzman brought them both home with a safety. Doug Bart­ liff finished the inning and off the rally. Bartliff and his mates all tered in the ninth as Exeter together three hits and two rors for the four runs. Elson, Darling, Meharg and Steve Mitro scored.
