The Times Advocate, 2005-07-06, Page 19Wednesday,July 6, 2005 Exeter Times -Advocate Express slump in tou EXETER — The Exeter Express ended the most difficult part of their schedule (10 games in 17 days) with two losses. They lost a tough one to the London Bulls 7-6 June 28 and dropped a 13-1 blowout to the Lakeside Lizards June 29. The team has a break until the Lakeside tour- nament next weekend. The game against the Bulls was a pitchers duel until the eighth and ninth innings. The Express scored two runs in the first on hits by Adam Leppington, Lonnie Hawke and Vic Oliveira. Curtis Meyers did an exceptional job control- ling the Bulls' potent bats, allowing only two runs on five hits till the eighth. After tiring Meyers was replaced by Paul Elston who was the victim of Sports some seeing -eye -hits and errors in his inning and the Bulls took a 7-2 lead. In the ninth the Express rallied for four runs on hits by Paul Walker, Scott Smith and Terry Genttner, plus walks to Leppington and Bobby Grant. The winning runs were on base as the game ended. The defensive play of the game occurred as an 19 stretch with two losses errant throw to first base on a double play attempt was scooped up by covering catcher Grant. He threw to shortstop Dan Masse and the run- ner was tagged out in the most unusual double play of the year. The Lakeside game was never close as the Lizards scored all 13 runs in the first three innings. Masse attempted to stop their attack with only four days of rest from his previous start. It was a game effort but it didn't pay off. Grant and Aaron Patterson shut out the Lizards for the final three innings. Grant allowed zero hits in his two innings and Patterson left the bases full of Lizards as he struck out the final bat- ter he faced. The Express attack was dormant as they had only four hits. Aaron Patterson had two, Grant and Adam Leppington had one each. The Express now have four wins and eight loss- es in league play. It is hoped some of the injured players will be available after a break. The next home game for the Express is July 15 in Exeter against London at 7:30 p.m. Marlee Baehnisch delivers for the Exeter/Hensall peewees June 28 in Exeter against St. Marys. Exeter/Hensall defeated St. Marys by an 18-16 score and will host their Invitational Classic tournament this weekend.
