Seaforth went ahead first in the game on consecutive singles in the first inning by Marty Bedard, Don Williamson and Gerry Feeney. Exeter soon took over, scoring twice in the second inning and four times in the third to make the score 6-1.

Ray Anstett hit his first home run of the season later in the inning to make the score 6-4. Exeter retaliated with one in their half of the fourth, but Seaforth closed the gap again in the top of the fifth, when Bedard walked and Williamson, Akey and Clendon Coombs all singled to bring the score to 7-6. Exeter regained their three run advan- tage when they scored twice in the bottom of the fifth inning, and the score remained 9-6 until the seventh inning. In the top of the seventh $eaforth scored nine times to take a 15-9 lead. Feeney doubl- ed, Akey and Robinet singled, Coombs was hit by a pitch, Jim Campbell and Darren Crocker were both safe on errors, Bedard walked and Williamson singled before Feeney capped off the nine run rally with a home run. Exeter replied with two runs in their half of the seventh to narrow the gap, then tied the score with a grand slam in the bottom of the eighth, before the game was called because of darkness. Coombs pitched five innings for the Mer- chants, giving up nine runs on 14 hits. He struck out one batter. Scott Driscoll.pitched three innings, giving up six runs on six hits. He struck out three batters and walked one. In total Seaforth scored its 15 runs on 15 hits. Players walked twice, struck out five times and made two errors. Four men were left on base. Exeter scored their 15 runs on 20 hits, walked three times and struck out four times. Two errors were made and eight men left on base. "This was a good game for us," said Mer- chant coach Marc Robinet. "We hit the ball well. We played great defense. Our pitching wasn't its best but it was an all round good team effort. Everybody contributed." SEAFORTH 13 -KINCARDINE 2 The Merchants put forth another strong effort when they mercied the Kincardine Juniors 13-2. Bedard pitched six innings for the win, giving up two unearned runs on five hits. He walked three batters and struck out six. Hitters 'for the Merchants included Del Mitchelinore and Williamson, each with two, and Feeney, Bedard, Akey, Crocker and Coombs with one apiece. However, the Merchants ran out of luck Monday night when they gave Listowel a 9-4 win. "Errors by Kincardine, and their lack of offense gave us an easy victory Thursday night, but it went the other way against Listowel," said coach Robinet. "We made the errors and we didn't hit very well, which resulted in an easy victory for them." Gary Eisler started on the mound for the Merchants Monday night and went three in- nings. He gave up five runs on three hits, walked three batters and struck out four. Williamson pitched to two batters, gave up one run on one hit, and walked one batter. Coombs rounded out the pitching and went six innings, giving up three runs on three hits, walking one batter and striking out seven.
