As expected the game was full of action on the field, said Exeter spokesperson Joe Fulop. All of the scoring took place in the bottom of the first as the Express pushed across three runs and made them stand up. The rally consisted of a single by Rob Burk, a walk to Bobbie Grant, singles from the bats of Justin Hayter and Terry Hogg and two Tillsonburg errors. Tillsonburg had nine hits off starter Chris Gosnell but were unable to score any runs. Gosnell and Grant were able to mix up the pitches and keep the Tillsonburg batters off balance. Fulop said Grant was fantastic and threw out five runners trying to steal second base. The infield combo of Aaron Patterson, Burk and Brian MacLeod pulled off two sparkling double plays. Fulop added Justin Hayter was a vacuum at third base and the outfield of Adam Leppington, Hogg and Tim Eifert ran down every fly ball with ease. Finally the umpires called a fair game throughout the evening. Gosnell struck out eight batters and walked only two as he pitched his sec- ond consecutive shutout. Hayter led the Express attack with three hits. Others came from the rally mentioned previously and from Patterson and Eifert.
