The Exeter Chrysler Imperials managed to win their South Perth Men's Fastball League game on the score - book but had to play the final two -and -a -third innings over last night. With two out in the top of the seventh inning, Exeter pitcher Derwyn Hodgins apparently balked but the um - pries did not call n. At the time Exeter held a 3-1 lead so last night, the game resumed in the seventh with two out. On Wednesday, Paul Ford was at third base so, starting last night's game he was allowed to score to make it 3- 2 with a runner on third. Last night Lother Mueller was scheduled to be up to bat with a two -and -one count but since he is vacation- ing, he'll have to he substituted for If Exeter does remain in the lead after the two in- nings, a third game will be played. On Wednesday, a home run by an unexpected Doug Charlton, Hodgins' balk and a cross of signals in which Mike Neil was tagged out, were just a few of the somewhat bizzare incidents in the game. The winner of this series will take on on the St. Mar- ys Selects for the 'A' championship. St. Marys beat the Sebringvillc Juniors two games straight including a 14-3 romp in the second contest. it was kind of an eerie night, the weather was weird," said Imperials coach Chuck Humbey of the game in Hensall. The game had to be haulted several times throughout Hodgins MVP at Eastern Canadians Derwyn Hodgins • ...MVP FREDRICTON, N.B. - Derwyn Hodgins proved to be a valuable pickup for the Shedden Pests, so valuable he became the Most Valu- able Player at the Canadian Inter- mediate Men's Fastball League tournament. Hodgins, who plays regularly with the Exeter Chrysler Imperials won three games for the Pests who captured their third straight title. In their opening game, Hdogins struck out 19 en route to a perfect game as Shedden beat Halifax Got- tengen 2-0. Hodgins got the call to be on the• mound in the final game and he came up big with 12 strike outs as the Pests beat the host Fredncton Admiral 4-0.

Last week, over 90 players from the area laced up their blades. donned their pads and prepared for the 1992-93 hockey season. While many hockey schools are held m the summer, this one, which concluded Saturday, is followed immediately by team tryouts which began Monday. Terry Bourne of Exeter, was the head instructor for the five-day camp which saw players aged 7-14 sent through a lot of skating and puck han- dling drills. "I haven't heard anything less than fantastic," said EMHA acung presi- dent Jim Beckett of the response from parents. "It's a pre -tryout for the teams," he added. Several EMHA coaches were on the ice at the Stephen Township Arena as instructors whicn gave them a sneak peek at some ot their prospects. "They don't waste anytime,' said Beckeu watching one ot the sessions last week. "The guys helping are all decent players too.' Beginning last Tuesday. Bourne and the other coaches broke down the players into timed age groups. 7-9; 10-12; 12-14 and had two goahes with _ each group. • "That's all Terry wanted; 32 per group. 1 think it's dust about tight,' said Beckett. He said the EMHA hopes to build on this year's success and have an- other school next fall. Terry BoUme, head instructor of the EMHA hockey school gives a player some tips.

Wednesday's game started just like Game One did, a pitching duel between Hodgins and Jon Van Ness. Hodgins struck out eight of the first 11 batters he faced while Van Ness was able to keep the imperials at bay until the fourth frame. In the fourth, catcher Brian Noyes led off with a sin- gle, moved on Mike Neil's base hit and then Steve Neil, eighth in the trailing order, connected with a sin- gle up the middle to score Noyes. Jim Allison hit a long hall to right field and although he was tossed out at second, scored Steve Neil with what proved to be the winning run of the game. "It's certainly a nice change," said Humbey about getting extended production from his bottom three. hit- ters. "Four hits in one inning manufactured two runs which is not normal for us." Both Steve and Mike Neil had two hits each to lead the. imperials offense which collected eight hits off of Van Ness. In the top of the fifth, Generals' Rob Petick doubled and scored on an error committed by Allison at second base. Exeter padded their bad in the sixth when Charlton led off with a 240 -foot home -run into a strong wind which made it 3-1. "I just sat there and watched 1 don't know how it went out," said Humbey of the home run. St. Pauls threatened in the seventh when Paul Ford got his second hit of the night, eventually reached third , on a passed ball, but stayed there despite what ap- peared to be a balk by Hodgins. He came off the mound but did not delivery because he said later he turned the wrong way. The Generals' coach complained to both umpires and was ejected from the game. - Later, St. Pauls catcher Gary Reyner was also tossed out for arguing about a called third strike. Exeter came very close to blowing things wide open in the sixth when, after Charlton's home nen, Mike Neil singled, Steve Neil hit and Allison loaded the bas- es on a walk. But with two out, and shortstop Dan Heywood at hat, Mike Neil got confused what the count on Hey- wood was and began walking home when the count was just 3 -and -2. He was tagged out to end the ralh Jrl.rH Off A FIELD DAY OF FAL[.
