The Times Advocate, 2008-07-16, Page 11Wednesday, July 16, 2008 SPORTS Times -Advocate 11 Express swept byTillonsburg in double header EXETER — Stompin Tom Connors once sang a song about how his back still ached when he heard that word "Tillsonburg", says Exeter Express team spokeperson Joe Fulop as the Exeter Express lost both games 6-3 and 3-1 in Tillsonburg. Fulop added every year when it is time to play in Tillsonburg Exeter manag- er Doug Fairbairn finds it difficult to line up an ade- quate number of players. Fulop said this was the case again on Sunday when the double header scheduled for Exeter had to be moved to Tillsonburg because of unplayable conditons in Exeter. Fairbairn was able to muster nine for each game and Fulop said probably six of the players would not have played under bet- ter conditions as there were cases of the flu, sore hands, and sore legs but they had to play or forfeit the game. "Where were the other seven players?" said Fulop. No answers were given other than Tillsonburg is a long drive and it is a Sunday date. In game one Fairbairn turned to his ace Derek Masse. Masse pitched as well as he could but the Red Sox hitters seemed to like his speedy pitches and came up with four earned runs on nine hits. Only two Red Sox hitters struck out. Express jumped to an early lead by scoring a run in the first inning. Rob Burk reached third base due to two Tillsonburg errors and was driven home by a Chris Gosnell single. Exeter added two more in the second on a walk to Nate Burns, bunt singles by Vic Oliveira and Terry Hogg and a catcher's error. The Express could muster only four hits dur- ing the game. Oliveira had two of these hits while Gosnell and Hogg added one each.

Tillsonburg rallied for three runs in the second on three hits. They gained two more in the third on two hits and two errors. Their final run came in the fourth on two more hits. Game two saw Fairbairn giving the start to Burk who drew Tillsonburg's ace pitcher as his oppo- nent. Burk was magnificent as he held the Red Sox to five hits and no runs over the first five innings. The Express plated their only run in the second as Burns singled and was dri- ven home by an Adam Leppington double. The Express managed only three hits in the game but had five walks to help their cause. Reaching base twice in the game were Lonnie Hawke, Gosnell, Justin Hayter and Leppington. A tired Burk was beaten in the sixth as Tillsonburg rallied for two runs on three hits to win the game. Burk gave up nine hits in total. The team deserved a better fate as they played as well as they could in both games. Their efforts were just short of being enough to win in both games. The Express played the London Bulls Tuesday in London and face them again Friday night in Exeter. There will be a double header in Exeter on Sunday in a rematch against Tillsonburg if weather conditions and diamond conditions are suitable.

(171.3 M') STRAIGHT ENTRY �JN 6� Plan number 1.2-621 IDEAL STARTER HOME This three -gabled, two-bedroom house would make an ideal starter home for a young couple with one child, especially as the design includes an unfinished basement, offering room for expansion. The entry, through a covered porch set off by a single stone -based pilaster, leads into an L-shaped foyer where a coat closet is located opposite a roomier walk-in closet. To the right, an arched opening leads to a stairway, should the basement be included, as well as to the master suite and second bedroom. Directly ahead, a second archway frames the great -room complex, an open-plan affair that includes the dining room and kitchen. The spacious great room, which includes a built-in desk that will help organize chores such as paying bills, opens onto a covered deck that overlooks the back garden. The dining room, which includes an optional built -out buffet, is separated from the great room only by a partial wall, and features an extra -deep window sill for plants and collectibles. A hexagonal eating bar divides the dining room from the kitchen, where an L- shaped counter configuration promises step -saving efficiency. The kitchen enjoys access to the laundry room. Doors from the double garage lead outside, as well as into the laundry room, which can double as a mud room. The master suite overlooks the back garden through a window featuring a deep sill that could be used as a window seat. The lay -out includes a long, narrow walk-in closet, roomy enough for any couple's clothing, as well as a five -piece ensuite that includes a shower stall. The soaker tub boasts its own window. Twin basins will help to ease the morning rush-hour. Exterior finishes include shingles and decorate wooden bracing in two of the three gables, painted trim, mullioned windowed with extra -wide frames and horizontal siding. The two tripartite garage doors add a touch of elegance. This home measures 56 feet wide by 63 feet, six inches deep, for a total of 1,844 square feet, plus the unfinished basement.
