Curtis Meyers pitched another excellent game holding Lakeside to just one earned run on six hits over eight plus innings. Marty Merner relieved in the ninth to pick up the win. Exeter's star hitter on the day was Lonnie Hawke who had four including driving in the winning run in the ninth. Adam Leppington had a double and a triple.
