Juveniles poised to take WOBA championship EXETER - The Exeter Juveniles baseball team split a pair of games with Wyoming winning away 5-2 on Sunday and losing 7-3 at home on Thursday. Denis McCann got his first start pitching on Sunday and delivered a solid performance going the dis- tance. He allowed only five hits backed up by some good defensive plays behind him. Dale Hopf played a strong game catching for McCann. Darren Knits continued to swing a big bat with a double and a sin- gle, Darryl Hartman and James Rolph both doubled. Dale Hopf and Jo Maskell singled. In Thursday's game, Knits pitched for four innings striking out three and walking six batters al- lowing six hits. Hartman finished the game striking out one hatter, walking two and allowing three hits. Knits also hit a triple and a sin- gle. Ted Hoffman doubled, and sin- gles were chalked up by James Rolph, Gavin Snell, Dale Hopf and Maskell. The Juveniles will engage the Hanover Hurricanes in a best of three playoff tournament for the Western Ontario Baseball Associa- tion (WOBA) Championship be- fore starting their London District Baseball Association Champion- ship series. Hanover will play the Juveniles at home on Sunday August 13 for a 3 pm game that will determine the WOBA champions. This will be a double header if necessary. Prior to this game a special memorial presentation will be conducted. Coach Gary Hartman is confident they will win against Hanover to clinch the WOBA title. "I'm expecting some good chanc- es because we've beat this team [Hanover] twice this year already," said Hartman. "We have an ex- cellent defensive team but we'll need some big offense." Gavin Snell makes a catch behind the plate during an Exeter Juveniles baseball game against Wyoming on Thursday.
