Such was the spirit of the Express as they bat- tled for the OBA Senior 'D' championship in Listowel over the week- end. Exeter 8 South Woodslee 7 The Express started the weekend with a tough game against South Woodslee. The teams battled to a 7-7 draw through the regulation seven innings. The Express scored a run in the third with key hits from Cory Burtch and Scott McCutcheon. Hits from Adam Leppington, Vic Oliveira and Ryan Fairful led to three more runs in the fifth and Aaron Patterson, Bobby Grant and McCutcheon had sin- gles during the two -run rally in the sixth. Dan Masse threw the ball hard and allowed only five hits but had problems matching the umpire's strike zone and had eight walks. South Woodslee scored single runs in the fourth and fifth innings and burst forth for four more in the six. They added their final run on an error in the seventh. The Express dealt with the disappointment of not clinching the game in the seventh by rallying for a run in the eighth on three walks and a hit by Patterson. Derek Masse struck out the side and picked up the victory. It was so far so good for the Express, whose next game would be Saturday morning in Listowel. Clarksburg 4 Exeter 2 Lonnie Hawke pitched a superb game allowing no earned runs over five innings and relievers Derek Brown and Jeff Green allowed one run each. The problem in this game was the Express could only muster two hits, both by Fairful. They did score single rims in the first and sev- enth innings and had runners on first and third in the seventh with one out but were unable to do the job. Exeter 8 Listowel 4 Game three was against league rival Listowel. The Express had defeated them on five dif- ferent occasions during the year but this game was different. Listowel was able to score three runs in the fourth and one in the sixth off Exeter's ace Derek Masse. All the Express could muster was a two -run homer by Grant and Marty Merner had a sin- gle in this innning as well. Exeter rallied for six runs in the bottom of the seventh with hits by Patterson, Adam Leppington, Dan Masse and Nick Regier. The telling blow was a grandslam homerun by Fairful. Masse won his second of the tournament which led to a rematch with Clarksburg. Exeter I2 Clarksburg 7 Adam Leppington staked the Express to a one -run lead with a first inning homerun and Exeter added to its lead with five runs in the third. The runs in the rally came off hits from Aaron Patterson, Fairful, Dan Masse, Hawke and Oliveira. Clarksburg scored one in the first, five in the fourth and one in the sixth to take a one -run lead going into the sev- enth. But the Express responded with a rally of six runs. Fairful, Masse, Patterson with two and Regier led the parade and Merner picked up the win in relief. Exeter 8 Thorold I Game six with Thorold was a tense contest with Exeter holding a one -run lead going into the sev- enth inning as Merner scattered five Thorold hits. Singles by Masse and Hawke led to the first Exeter run in the second and they added one more in the fourth on hits by Hawke and Regier. The big rally of six runs came in the seventh to pick up an 8-1 victory. Several walks and hits by Patterson, Adam and Aaron Leppington, two hits by Vic Oliveira and one from Dan Masse led the way. Glanbrook l0 Exeter 8 Game six placed the Express against Glanbrook, which they lost by a score of 10-8. Exeter rallied for one run in the first, four in the fifth and two in the sixth. They also had the tying runs on base in the bot- tom of the seventh as Fairful just missed a game winning homerun. A two-way faulty call by the base umpire led to Aaron Patterson being tossed from the game which along with the lack of quality pitching and some shoddy defense led to the defeat. Six Exeter pitchers allowed 10 runs on hits. The Express trailed as badly as 7-1 in the sec- ond inning before rally- ing to almost pull out the victory. Exeter hitters included McCutcheon, Grant and Fairful with two each and Dan Masse, Hawke, Oliveira, Regier and Merner with one each. Fulop wrapped up the weekend and the season by saying, "The Express had excellent pitching over the weekend with two wins each for Merner and Derek Masse plus good performances from Dan Masse and Hawke. "Dan and Derek solidi- fied their positions as the two best pitchers the team has had over the life of the franchise."
