Hodgins throws no-hitter as Imperials win fourth By Fred Groves TAata! EXETER - De'wyn Hodgins struck out 24 batters on his way to a no-hitter Thursday night as the Exeter Chrysler imperials beat vis- iting Shakespeare Black Sox 11-0. The win saw the imperials stretch their South Perth Men's Fastball League record -to 4-0. They have a busy league schedule this week ahead of them_ as they travelled to St. Marys last night, are in -Mitchell to play the Mets on Wednesday and host the Mitchell Gladiators on Thursday at 9. p.m. Thursday's game was quite an ac- complishment, btttt,Hodgins did not seem overly excited about it. - "I was throwing the ball alright, but it wren't a great feat," he said. He added it would have been more enjoyable to beat a little better ball club. The only base runners he allowed were walks to Randy- Hyde and Matt Linder and to John Noble who reached base after a wild pitch which Noble swung on and struck out. Prior to his no-hitter, Hodgins struggled against some pretty good teams in the Woodstock Tourna- ment including giving up four:nans off of five hits when the Imperials met the host Merchants. "I really didn't lose my confi- dence. It was just an off game. Td love to play them again tomorrow." Hodgins and the Imperials will have a chance to get back on the winning end of things, as far as tournaments go, when they travel to Si. Jacob's this weekend. Both important: The Imperials almost have a split season as they concentrate on the South -Perth League but pit a' lot of importaince on doing well at the tournaments. "I feel its all important. I give my best all the time," said outfielder Sandy Hyde who has been the lead off batter in five of the Imperials seven games. However, he said there is some added pressure when playing in the tournaments. "It's nervousness, people feel that they have to swing at anything. No- body likes to be under pressure. It doesn't really bother me."- Third e."Third baseman Steve Neil who had a double and a single in Thurs- day's game against the Black Sox, be, stressed that both league and tournament games are important. `They both are important We finished second last year and we want to win it this year," he said of the South Perth league. With 11 league at bats, Neil, who Crediton takes Greys CREDITON - Trailing 8-0 in the fourth inning, Crediton took advan- tage of some inconsistent Exeter pitching to beat the visiting Huron Motor Product Greys 14-12 Mon- day night A long single up the middle by Brenda Wilds scored three runs in .the bottom of the sixth inning to help Crediton win the South Pent Ladies Fastball League game. Gayle Beuermann, starting on the Exeter mound 'for _absent Patti Down, did welt folio the fourth ro- nin when she tired and had to be by Shannon McBride and lata Kelly Warren.. Neither McBride or Warren have pitched this year and both did fairly well. Beuesmann had to return to finish the game. The hosts chipped away at the lead, plating seven runs in the fourth inning on four walks, a pair of Exeter errors and a double by Wilds.

Early lead: Against the Black Sox, Exeter took a quick 4-0 lead in the second inning when Steve Neil reached base on an ennr, moved on another Black Sox miscue that put brother Mike aboard and scored on Brian Noyes' single. Hodgins helped himself with a base hit, moved on Kevin Light - foot's single and the bases were loaded when Mike Desjardine walked. First baseman Doug Charl- ton cleared the bases with a triple.

THOMAS - MIR Moly McClure decides to doh, she puts everything shires got into it. The speedy Grade II student from South Huron District High School is not only excelling in her best events but she's tackled a new challenge. At the Western Ontario Secon- dary School Association track and field meet in St. Thomas last week, she finished third in the junior girls' 300 metre hurdles. That performance, along with a third in the 400 metres and fourth in the 200 metres has qualified her for three events at the OFSAA re- gional moet on Friday and Satur- day again at Parkside in St. Thom- as. "It takes the doldrums out of training," said McClure of taking on the hurdles. "It's more technical and it takes more concentration." Her time of 46.8 seconds was just not enough to catch Medway's Katie Malone and Melissa West- gate of East Lambton. "I've gotten a lot of help from my sister Susan and Lee O'Rourke." Both are former South Hixon runners who did very well on the track. Last year, McClure dominated the midget division but this year she's moved up and the times to beat are a little quicker. At WOS- SA she did the 200 moues in 26.5 after finishing first in the same � IRONur NWOOD GOLF CLUB Full 18 hole Green Fees 9 holes $12.00 18 holes $18.50 GST included Seniors Day Every Thursday 18 boles for the <priceof9 235-1521 event at 144 on-lelh and ran a 1:00.34 in the 400 metres. "For the first year of junior, I'm ply pleased," she said. Seven athletes: The South Hu - mu Panthers will be very well rep- resented at the OFSAA regional meet as McClure will be joined by six other athletes. The javelin is by far the best event for South Huron as three ath- letes will be competing. In the midget girls' division, Da- nielle Miner followed up her fust place perfonnance at Huron -Path with another first at WOSSA where die threw 27.66 which is better than her 27.504t Huron -Perth. Randy Johnson will try and reach the provincial finals again as he was second in the junior boys' jave- lin at 48.98. That distance was well off his Huron -Perth throw of 54.08. In the senior boys' division, Da- vid Schwindt was fourth with a toss of 47.48. That is very close to his fust place at Huron -Perth where he threw 47.84. Also in the senior division, Jay Hippem will be in the shot put after a firth at WOSSA at 12.46. In the midget boys' high jump, Jeremy Horne was fourth at Huron - Perth with a leap of 1.62 metres but he improved on that, jumping 1.70.4 at WOSSA and finishing third. Pres Lavier was fourth in the midget boys' shot put with a toss of 12.77 metres. He threw 12.80 me- tres and won Huron -Perth. 4.4 111010110t.1 is i �y 1 NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING CONCERNING AN OFFICIAL PLAN AMENDMENT TOWN OF EXETER TAKE NOTICE that a Committee of Council of the Corporation of the Town of Exeter Will hold a Public Meeting on the 6th day of Juy,,1992, at 7 p.m. in the Council Chambers at 406 Main Street South, Town of Exeter.
