The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1956-07-19, Page 5uaiiiama Down Exeter Exeter Legion Bantams wound up on the wrong aide of a u-7 count on Tuesday night as Mitch­ ell Bantams used Exeter’s nine errors to their advantage. The visitors took a four-run lead in the opening inning and from there on were never behind. James East, Mitchell hurler who received credit for the win, threw an eight-hitter at the lo­ cals and walked nine batters. Ron Heywood of the Legion , Bantams duplicated East’s of- ‘'’«i$irings as he’ also gave up nine jMbfalks. However, Heywood had jm^our strikeouts to his credit. The winners were outhit at the plate 8-7 but only two mis- ’ cues were made by the Mitchell club while tone prevailed with the locals. The only player on the. visiting team to get more than one hit was Donald Turner, He picked up *a pair of safeties, Bpb Jones, Ron Heywood and Frank Boyle led the homesters by picking up two hits' apiece out of the eight collected by the Legion Bantams, - Keith Ahrens, Mitchell second baseman, set things off on the right foot for this t^am by smashing out a triple in the first inning that sparked a four-run rally.

The Greys, lacking several of their best r’ yers including ace pitcher, Roxanne Beavers, were outhit by a 10*G margin. The second inning proved to be the best for the winners as they scored five runs. Dashwood ral­ lied for three more in each of the first, fourth and sixth in­ nings. Exeter didn’t register on the scoreboard until the fifth frame when, a couple of hits and a pair of walks enabled the home team to push four runs across the plate. The fifth run came in the sixth. Ruth Salmon led the hitting at­ tack for Dashwood with three hits jn four attempts. Mirdza Gulens, Elaine Becker and La- belle Webb, all had two hits apiece, Barbara Brfatnell and Joan Thompson each collected two hits to lead the Greys in the hit­ ting department, Walks were mostly the cause of the Exeter downfall.

A big New1 Hamburg club, who looked like giants standing beside some of the iQcaUcrew, poupdpd out nine hits off the two Exeter hurlers, Ron Heywood and Jim McDonald. The two pitchers were alternated each inping on the mound in an attempt to squelsh ■ any rallies which worked for all but two frames. Don Wilson of New Hamburg led both teams at the plate, as he picked up three hits in- four trips. Gordon Strang, who guards the third base si’de of 1,he diamond 'for Exeter, grabbed off two of the foqr hits collected by his team. Catcher Bob Armstrong and Ron Heywood got the only other two Legion4? Bantam hits. Carlton Hauch racked up. thir­ teen strikeouts; gave, up four hits and walked only three men as he pitched his seven inning victory for New Hamburg.
