The Times Advocate, 2004-06-23, Page 2222 Exeter Times -Advocate Wednesday,June 23, 2004 Juniors defeat Sarnia 5-4 EXETER — Last -inning heroics salvaged the win for the W&K/CO-OP Juniors Sunday night as key hit- ting provided the punch Exeter needed to defeat Sarnia at home Sunday night. Jon Brand got the start for Exeter. Sarnia scored two runs in the first inning on three hits. "They really hit the ball well and executed well on the base paths. They are a quick team", said Exeter manager Jeff Keller. However, Brand settled down for the next four innings and allowed just one more run in the fifth inning. "Jon continues to throw well. He lets the defence get involved. As I men- tioned before, we have a very strong defensive team. Jon knows that. He just throws strikes. He has the confidence that the guys behind him will come through. He is also great at choosing his pitch loca- tion. If they get a hit, it is rarely anything more than a single." Over five complete innings, Brand allowed three runs on eight hits and just one walk. Exeter responded to Sarnia's two - run first inning by scoring three of their own in the sec- ond inning. Ricky Regier reached first base on a walk, reached second on a single by Everett Dionne. Steve Regier loaded the bases with a walk as well. Jon Brand, helping his own cause, hit a double scoring Rick Regier and Dionne. Steve Regier later scored on a sacrifice hit by Terry Hogg. "The guys really execut- ed well and took advan- tage of every step. Third base coach Mike Seip was agressive on the base paths, which really worked out well for us". Tim Meidinger came in to pitch in the sixth inning with Exeter leading 4 - 3. He shut the door on Sarnia in the sixth inning. However, in the top of the seventh, a double scored the tying run for Sarnia. With the score tied at 4 - 4, Exeter came up in the Jon Brand bottom of the seventh looking for the win. "You could tell they just wanted that win in the worst way. They were pumped," said Keller. With two out, Meidinger, looking to be the winning pitcher of record, hit a line -drive single up the middle. Then, rookie sensation Steve Regier came up the plate and cracked a dou- ble over the left -fielder's head. Coach Seip sent Meidinger around third knowing it was going to be a close play at the plate. However, Meidinger beat the throw to the plate and slid under the cathers glove to score the winning run. "It was a great way to end the game. Everyone loves to see a game get this close and come down to the last play. Even the Sarnia fans were cheering as the game ended." The Juniors have had a light schedule this month. However, things get busy starting this Sunday when they open up a double- header in Exeter against Ingersoll at 3 p.m with the second game starting at 5:30 p.m. Tyke Gold June 17 -Blue 0 vs Gold 4 Goals: Tyler Hartman (2), Jake Hrudka (2); Assists: Brandan Willis (2), Brendan Gorden, Jordan Butler, Megan Dalrymple Comments: Super effort by Jordan Butler Exeter #3 June 17 -Exeter #6 (5) vs Exeter #3 (1); Goal: Matthew Hagarty Exeter U13 Boys June 15 -Exeter (1) vs Delco Bridge II (2); Goal: Ryan Consitt Exeter U15 Thunder June 15 -Exeter 3 vs Coldstream 0; Goals: Lindsay Miller, Miriam Veldman, Jody Spring.
