Nick Regier started on the mound for Exeter but pitched only two innings because he put in a com- plete game in Exeter's 6-5 semi-final,win over Han- over. Ben Duskocy threw four. innings. in relief with Mike Scip finishing the last inning. ' . ; "We put in our strongest line-up," assistant coach Mike Watt said, explaining the different between the final win and the earlier loss to•Mitchell: The victory hinged on two big plays: left -fielder Brad Bakermade a great throw to home on a deep hit to catch a Mitchell runner at home for the:third :out tif an' inning; Regier swatted a three -run triple in . the bottom of the sixth to break a 3-3 tie and later Scored himself. Mitchell -,scored a, run in their last at hat but it was too little too late. In earlieraction, Eiceter.whipped Fleisherton 8-4, starting pitcher Tim Masse going four innings with • Ryan_Parker and Scott Skinner sharing relief duties. Exeter doubled Hanover 6-3 in their next game. "They are a team we have a real rivalry with." Watt .said, with ,five match -ups- during the season . -adding fuel to the competitive fire. Regier went -3 - for -4 at the Plate 'and pitched- four innings for the win. Packer pitched three innings in relief. The nail-hiter of the tournament was Exeter's next game versus Owen Sound. Exeter slipped by the other top team in the league 9-8. • "(Owen Sound) was_a team that really thumped us last year." Watt said. "It was a seesaw game .with the lead changing hands three times." • Exeter had a big fourth inning. scoring five runs and held a 9-5„lead going into the bottom of the sixth. Owen Sound scratched hack to withing a run but Exeter closer Mark Bilinsky shut the door in his one and two thirds innings. • ';He .hadn't pitched in a while," Watt said. "His performance..in shutting them down was key to the win." The key play in the; balance team 'effort was a great throw from right -fielder Ben Debus in the hot - tom of the sixth, Watt said. Debus caught a long Ily for the second out of the inning. then threw a rocket . to home to catch an Owen Sound runner tagging up for the third out. The loss to Mitchell in game four- Sunday morn- ing was . the resuk of the fallout from Saturday . night's thriller versus Owen Sound. Watt said. Exet- er had pounded Mitchell three times this season.and underestiinated them. "They played. well and we hadn't got hack to the - intensity level of Saturday evening. We .took them lightly and you.cannot do that:" Regier's complete game in the semi-final 6-5 wi▪ n over Hanover was one of the tournament highlights. -- "Nick did .a good job pitching._" Watt said. "And Mike Seip brought in some key runs.'11'was a real. screaming match between the fans. It"was a well played ball game.."" • / Exetet's overall record to date is 30-3. ,Exeter moves on to the Ontario Baseball Associa- tion 'C" final tournament . in •Wallacehurg on the weekend.
