Exeter Express
ready for O.B.A.'s
EXETER — The Exeter Express ended their regular
season playoffs Friday with a 10-3 loss against the
London Bulls.
The Express had defeated St. Thomas and Listowel
during the four game mini playoffs but also lost key
games to the Bulls and the London Stingrays.
Fridays game was to decide which four teams would
be involved in the league wrap-up in St. Thomas
Saturday.
Team spokesman Joe Fulop said this put manager
Doug Fairbairn in a tough spot as he wanted to save
his pitching staff for the 0.B.A playoffs next weekend
at Listowel.
Fairbairn also wanted to do well against the Bulls.
His decision was to use some of his younger pitchers
to have them experience the pressures of playoff base-
ball.
He was also able to have a mostly well -rested staff
for the playoffs starting Friday in Mitchell.
In a game limited to five innings due to darkness the
Express scored three runs on hits by Aaron
Leppington, Aaron Patterson, Lonnie Hawke and two
hits by Dan Masse and Vic Oliveira.
But it was not enough as the Bulls scored 10 runs on
15 hits to advance to the league finals against St.
Thomas who defeated Strathroy in the semi-final game
in St. Thomas.
The Bulls scored five runs off Nick Regier in his two
innings of work while Leppington pitched two shutout
innings.
Matt Hummel allowed two earned runs during his
inning and Bobby Grant allowed one run in his one
inning appearance.
Fulop said the Express are in tough in the 0.B.A tour-
nament. They drew into the tough half of the nine
team pool with their starting game against South
Woodslee.
If the Express win that game an apparently stacked
team from Clarksburg would await them Saturday
morning.
The Exeter Saddle Club's youth team went to the Ontario Saddle Club Youth Team tournament at Paris, Ont
July 30 -Aug I. They placed fourth out of 28 teams from all areas of Ontario.The team is front L -R: Joslyn Van
Aaken and Hunter Taylor. Middle: Montana Riley, Chantelle Masse, Shawna Ducharme, Keenan Taylor and Jake
Moore. Back: Sarah Miller, Caitlin Dorssers and Jessie Moore.The team is coached by Lindsey Dale and Chuck
Moore. Missing: Alyssa Coddington and Noah Rohfritsch. (photo/submitted)
Other teams in the tournament include Listowel,
Glanbrook, Forest, Essex, Wallaceburg and Thorold.
Fulop said the team has shown excellent pitching at
times with Derek Masse being the ace and solid
starters such as Dan Masse, Hawke and Marty Merner.
Other starters could include Aaron Leppington, Jeff
Green or Derek Brown.
He added solid relief pitching could come from the
above players plus veteran lefthander Paul Elston and
the versatile Regier.
The defence is normally solid with several good
infield averages from Dan Masse, Hawke, Scott
McCutcheon, Ryan Fairful, Patterson, Merner, Regier
and Scott Smith.
Fulop said Grant is the best catcher the Express have
ever had and this is an achievement to be selected over
former players Kevin Hern and Darcy Martin.
The outfield, according to Fulop, has depth with
Adam Leppington and Oliveira supplying the speed and
Cory Burtch, Aaron Leppington, Hummell, Dan Masse
and Jason Smith filling in adequately as well.
The Express have several players hitting over .300
and the offence is capable of winning a championship.
Fulop noted Fairbairn has done an excellent job of
recruiting and runs the team well on the field with an
aggressive style of base running.
He added if the components hold up and lady luck
helps out, the team could go a long way on the week-
end.
