Men's fastball
Imperials open 1993 season with split in games
ST. MARYS - At the start of the
season, Exeter Chrysler Imperials
coach Fred Cook said he would be
happy if his team would play .500
ball in the South Perth Men's Fast -
ball League.
Well, that's how they have man-
ed out as the Imperials beat Tavis-
tock in their opener but dropped a
7-0 decision to host St. Marys Se-
lects Sunday night.
Facing Selects ace pitcher Don
Rae, the Imperials could manage
just three hits, two of those by sec-
ond 'baseman Rod Johnston and a
seventh inning double by Mike
Neil.
Johnston who has being playing
well both defensively and offen-
sively, singled in the third and
again on a hard hit ball in the sixth.
Taking over the starting job for
Jim Allison who is not with the
team this year, Johnston helped
turn a double play in the bottom of
the sixth when St. Marys Scott
Shackleton hit the ball to Kevin
Windsor at third who threw it to
Johnston to get Steve Hart and then
over to Derek Cooper to get Shack-
leton.
It was the second double play of
the game for the visitors as Selects'
catcher John Moore hit the ball to
Exeter shortstop Mike Desjardine,
he got it to Kevin Lightfoot at first
and then Lightfoot threw home
where Gavin Snell slaped the tag
on Doug Levy.
Dan Heywood started on the
mound for Exeter but after giving
up home runs to Jim Siddall and

EXETER - Although they man-
aged just five hits, the Exeter
Chrysler Imperials won their South
Perth Men's Fastball League season
openeratilhome Thursday night.
Four runs m both the third and
seventh innings helped the Imperi-
als beat the Tavistock Merchants 9-
5.
The visitors led 2-0 after two -
and -a -half innings but in the top of
the third, the Imperials got their of-
fence rolling in a big way when
second baseman Rod Johnston loft-
ed a hit into centre field and after
some confusion by the Merchants',
he ended up at second.
Johnston scored after Kevin
Lightfoot was safe on a fielders'
choice and a bunt single by Darren
Neil and a base hit up the middle
by pitcher Dan Heywood gave the
hosts the lead. Mike Desjardine
who had two hits on the night, sin-
gled to score Heywood.
Exeter added another run in the
fourth as Sandy Hyde was safe on
an error and then his speed and a
couple of wild pitches by Tavis-
tock hurler Chad Zeigler saw Hyde
score.
In the seventh, the Merchants de-
