The Merchants were blown out of the parkin three of their four outings this week, twice by league - leading Exeter, and once by Lakeside. In the fourth game, however, Seaforth turned the tables on its opposition, downing Lakeside by a score sof 14 to 8. The much needed win came on Sunday, in the second game of a' doubleheader. The game started fairly even, with the two teams exchanging a pair of runs in the se- cond inning. Lakeside jumped in front with two more runs in the fourth inning, but Seaforth scored 10 times in the fifth on 14 hits, to take a 12-4 lead. One more run by Lakeside in the fifth nar- rowed the gap a little, but only for a short time. Seaforth scored twice more in its half of the sixth to take a 14-5 lead, and even Lakeside's three runs in the top of the seventh did little to change the outcome. Marc Robinet pitched the complete game for the Merchants, allowing eight runs on eight hits, and walking two :batters while striking out four. In addition to taking the win for the Mer- chants on the mound, Robinetwas also tops at the plate, going four for four in this game.

Bill Dale, Darren Crocker and .Darryl O'Connell shared pitching duties in this game, giving up the 21 runs on 14 bits, walk- ing 13 batters and only striking out one. Feeney contributed two hits at the plate, while Wright, Ryan, Cairns and Garrick had one each. Seaforth's two rams came in -the third and the fourth innings.
