Their biggest conquest came Sunday afternoon when they beat the defending league Champion Exeter Co -Op Juniors 6-4. "We hung on, it was a very in- teresting game," said Lucan coach Walt Parkinson. Exeter had a good chance to take the lead late in the game when they loaded the bases in the eighth inning but Scot Russell flyed out and Fred Gregus could bring home the runners. The visi- tors also left two runners strand- ed in the ninth. It was the third straight win for Lucan who travelled to St. Marys tonight. "They've got all kinds of talent but they lack experience and they get down when they make a bad play," said Parkinson. Lucan's best inning came in the third when they banged out three hits, and combined with a walk and a hit batter, scored three runs. In the fifth, Exeter catcher Dave Schwindt doubled and then Scot Russell ripped a long fly ball that soared over the left field fence foul by a few inches. Rus- sell struck out and Lucan man- aged to get the side out without having Schwindt score. "That was definitely in our fa- vour," said Parkinson of the foul ball, "It might have tied it up." Lucan had several new faces in the lineup and Parkinson it seemed to help as the team not only beat Exeter last week but on Thursday got by Saltford 10-8 and hammered Listowel 12-2 last Tuesday. "Some of the boys who were going to be regulars packed it in so I went with those who were go- ing to be there all the time," said Parkinson. Exeter 10, Dashwood 0 Despite the score, there was a note of disappointment for the Ex- eter squad last Wednesday night. Russell bad a no-hitter going until the eighth inning when Greg Agnew connected with a two sin- gle. Other than that, Russell was strong as he struck out 11 batters, including retiring the side himself in the fifth inning. Offensively, Exeter took advan- tage of thrid walks and a few passed balls in the first inning and Schwindt clubbed a couple of runs to put the game out of reach early. Dashwood 4, Listowel 3 The first game of a double - hitter in Dashwood on Sunday saw the host team come up with their second win of the.season as they beat Listowel 4-3. Dashwood . scored, early when Greg Agnew tripled in the bottom of the first inning and he came in on Steve Farquhar's sacrifice ground out. Men's fastball league action Exeter edged by St. Marys Nighthawks By Fred Groves EXETER • Three runs in the first inning hurt the Exeter Roy- als Thursday night as they lost a close 6-5 decision to the St. Mar- ys Nighthawks in South Perth Men's Fastball League action. The Nighthawks, champions of the Embro League a year ago, got to Royals' starting pitcher Dan Heywood early as he gave up a hit, walked one batter and hit another. "Five runs should win, but they scored three runs on one hit in the fust inning," said Exeter coach Graham Nesbitt. Exeter has proven all year they have the offence to keep up with any team and came back in their half of the second to tie the game at 3-3. It was 4-3 for the home team after four and tied again, this time 5-5 after five innings. A double from St. Marys Tony McEwan scored the winning run in the top of,the seventh. "We can't win them all," noted Nesbitt whose team lost just!i$ nt second regular schedule game or I the year. "They're tough, they're a scrap- pyhitting team," he said of the Nighhawks. The three runs the Royals got in the second started when third baseman Steve Neil led off with a double and scored when Brian Noyes connected with his second double of the year. Jim Lewis got on base when Si Marys first baseman Scott Rols- ton bobbled the ball. Errors and a passed ball saw Noyes score and Mike Desjardine singled to score Lewis. In the Royals' half of the fourth, Jim Allison singled and quickly moved to third on a couple of passed balls and scored on Hey - wood's single. Exeter added one more in the fifth when Mike Neil led off with a double and scored on brother Steve's double. Steve had one of his better nights at the plate going 3 -for -5. St. Marys was helped by a not too steady Royals defence which saw them commit five errors. "It was our sloppiest defensive game. It was sloppy on both sides," said Nesbiu. "The surface (of the diamond) didn't help us." Heywood was knocked off the hill in the fifth and gave way to Dennis Carty who not only made a fine defensive play off of a bunt, but had a clean base hit as well. Derwyn Hodgins came on to pitch the last two innings and struck out four of the six batters he faced. For the Nighhawks, Ja- son Zvonkin started but was re- placed in the second by lefthander Scott Brookshaw. Royals 6, Merchants 0 Hodgins struck out 17 and went 3 -for -4 at the plate last Tuesday night as the visiting Royals blanked the Tavistock Merchants 6-0. It was the fourth shutout in six regular season games for the Roy- als. Exeter got on the board in the third inning when Darren Neil and Heywood singled and both scored on Nesbitt's base hit. In the fourth, Scott Brintnell got to second on an error and came home on Hodgins' single. Things were quiet until the eighth when Brent Dawson doubled and easily scored when Hodgins blasted a triple. The hitting barrage kept up in the ninth when Desjardine got to first on an error, went to second on Continued on page 19 In the fourth Farquhar and scored on Jody Masse's Dashwood got two more runs in the seventh on an error, a walk and.* sacrifice ground out. Pitcher Jason Heywood, caning on in relief, got in trouble in the seventh when he walked one batter, hit another but struck three in a row to finish the game. Listowel 10, Dashwood 4 Although Dashwood scored four runs in the first inning in the sec- ond game of the double -hitter, they were beaten 12-4 in the shortended contest. DashwoOd coach Steve Memer said the Seine had to be halted in the sixth inning as both teams were involved in a bench clearing alter- cation. In the fust inning, Daswhood's Agnew led off with a walk, Scott Parsons was safe on a bunt and then Dan Masse walked. Jason Heywood had a home run to cleat the bases.
