Senior baseball action Express rally late to win opener STRATHROY - Trailing 2-0 at the top of the ninth inning, the Ex- eter Express rallied to beat host Strathroy 6-3 last Tuesday night in their opening game of the Great Lakes Senior Baseball League. Neither team could get any of- fence rolling until the sixth frame when the hosts got a home run and added a couple of base hits to go up 2-0. Exeter struggled at the plate in the earlier innings and the only of- fence they managed was when Kerry Hedden walked in the first inning and stole second, but the Express couldn't move him around. Jeff Warren had a single in the sixth inning but was tossed out at second when Pete Heeney got on with a fielders' choice. Exeter went down in order in the second, third, fourth and fifth innings. But they really came to life in the ninth inning, sending 11 batters to the plate and connecting with four hits to go with their three timely walks. Rob Dickey started the rally when he walked and Hedden belted a double to score a run. Kevin Drager and catcher Darcy Martin singled and Marty Merner and Bar- ry Baynham walked. Dickey sin- gled to drive in more runs. Strathroy added one more in their half of the ninth on a walk and a single but it wasn't enough. Kevin Drager started on the mound for the Express and gave up five hits while striking out six be- fore giving way to Paul Gilmour in the sixth who struck out five and gave up just one hit.
