Exeter's first game was against Kincardine, which ended in a 14-4 mercy win by Exeter. Chad Hackett pitched four solid innings, while Jeremy Oke and Shawn Morgan shut Kincardine down in the last two innings to record the win. Hackett also had a home run and Mitch Masse and Troy Elder had triples to put the game away. The second game was a 10-9 loss against Mitchell, who had previously defeated Goderich. The tight game found Exeter's pitching having a hard time find- ing the strike zone. Because of the loss, Exeter was back in Hanover Sunday morning having to win three games in a row to qualify. Once again, Kincardine was no match for Exeter, as the Bantams won 12-2 in five innings. Because of Exeter's loss to Mitchell the day before, Exeter had to beat them twice to advance. The first game was another tightly -contested game going to the bottom of the sixth inning tied with two out and the bases loaded. Morgan ripped one to the fence for a three -RBI double. Masse closed out the 10-7 win in the seventh inning. The next game against Mitchell was a pitching duel, with Exeter winning 5-4. Hackett, Morgan, Masse and Shawn Harrigan were the pitchers in the game, which allowed Exeter to qualify. It was a great tournament for Tim Bilcke, Exeter's catcher for most of the tournament. Timely base hits by Ben Hodgins, Nick Ashawasaga, Brenden Bilcke and Ron Renning were also valuable. The OBA championships will be held in Wallaceburg on Labour Day weekend.

(photo/Mary Simmons) Holes -in -one at Exeter Golf Course By Pat Bolen TIMES -ADVOCATE STAFF Two more Exeter golfers were the latest recipients of a run of good luck at Exeter Golf Course recently as they both sank holes -in -one in the last week. After eight years of golf- ing Jeanne Phillips of Exeter sank her first hole -in -one on the sixth hole July 30 followed by Brad Claus Aug. 2 on the third hole. Phillips said she had been having good luck on the sixth hole for the last three weeks with a birdie on the hole as well as get- ting closest to the pin in her league play. After her hole -in -one July 30 she fired another birdie Aug. 2. Phillips was in a group with Esther Martineau and Jean Crerar when she made her shot. "We saw it go up there and when it dropped it kicked with pretty good force, so I thought it kicked off the back," said Phillips. After searching unsuc- cessfully for the ball, one of Phillip's companions suggested looking in the hole, "and there it was, in the cup." Phillips hasn't played with the ball since and plans to make a plaque out of it along with the medallion and towel she received from the course. Shooting on the third hole Aug. 2, Claus also sank his first hole -in -one with a pitching wedge after golfing for four years. It was a good day for Claus who also shot his best ever round with a 38. In a group with Roman Wilson and Chris Arnold, Claus said he knew the shot had landed short on the green and when he walked up to look for it, it was in the hole. After sinking the shot, Claus switched balls and landed his next shot in the pond. Claus has had a plaque made up with the ball. Exeter golfers Jeanne Phillips and Brad Claus both sank holes -in -one at the Exeter Golf Course within the last week. (photos/PatBolen) Aug. 5—Gold 2 vs Red 2. Goals: Tyler Hartman, Jake Hrudka.
