The Times Advocate, 2004-07-14, Page 19Tyke U11 Girls U15 Girls Wednesday, July 14, 2004 Exeter Times -Advocate Sports Express mired in four -game slump EXETER — The sched- ule maker dealt the Exeter Express a mighty blow as they faced off with the powerful Lakeside Lizards, the perennial league champi- ons. The Lizards extended the Express losing streak to four games Sunday, defeating Exeter 10-1. The Express were able to field only nine players plus junior player Terry Hogg for the contest. Several players missed the game due to injury, vaca- tions or other reasons. Manager Doug Fairbairn was forced to play him- self. Relief pitcher Paul Elston, who had played an all -day tournament the previous day, had to play half the game as well. The Express opened the game in the first inning with a run -scoring single from Marty Merner. After that, it was all Lakeside. Merner pitched the first four innings, allowing five runs (three earned) on nine hits. Elston pitched the fifth, allowing three runs on one hit. Bobby Grant tried to hold the fort over the last three innings, giving up two runs on three hits. Exeter managed only six hits with Merner having four of them and Hogg and Lonnie Hawke adding one each. Earlier in the weekend, the Express dropped a 6-0 Lonnie Hawke of the Exeter Expresses swings and misses July 9 during his team's 6-0 Toss to the Strathroy Royals.The Express, struggling through a four -game losing streak, will compete in a tournament this weekend in London.

Nine runners were left strand- ed during the seven - inning game. The Royals were able to combine four hits and six walks off rookie pitcher Nick Regier in the first three innings to take a 5-0 lead. Jeff Green allowed one run over three innings on two hits. This was a third consecutive solid perfor- mance by Green. Grant pitched the sev- enth, allowing only a walk. Exeter's five hits came from Aaron Patterson with a double, and Vic Oliveira and Hawke with two single each. Exeter's record is now at nine wins and seven losses. When missing players and injuries are factored in, the record shows the team is still in a close battle for first place in the league. The Express will take part in a tournament Saturday and Sunday at Lakeside in London. The Express play Saturday at 8:30 a.m. against Erindale at Stronach Park and at 7:30 p.m. against Amherstburg at LDBA Park on Adelaide Street. The top two teams from this pool advance to the quarter finals Sunday. The Express will need to improve their recent hit- ting and defensive perfor- mances to do well at this tournament. The pitching has also tailed off recent- ly, but there is a lot of potential if it is used prop- erly. With the OBA and league playoffs just a short time away, manager Fairbairn believes that running practices will be the key to straightening things around in a hurry. All players are urged to attend Friday's practice.

Third consecutive loss for Exeter Fury 19 EXETER — The Exeter Fury continued in Woodstock, losing 3-2 in their third consecutive loss. For the second game in a row, Exeter fell behind in the first 10 minutes. A Woodstock player broke free into the box and Fury keeper Nathan Holmes tried to steal the ball from him. He was only able to bring the player down, resulting in a penalty shot, which was completed successfully for a 1-0 Woodstock lead. The home team increased its lead as it moved the ball in from the corner, finding a man open at the top of the box. The striker made no mis- take as he blasted the ball into the top of the net to put the Fury down two goals. Exeter replied before the half on a free kick by Andrew Prout. His shot deflected off a defender and was bobbled by the Woodstock goalie, allow- ing Marty DeBruyn to pick up the loose ball and start the Fury scoring. The Fury nearly tied the game before the half, but Matt Strano missed a great chance from in close. The Fury came out in the second half looking for the equalizer, but some confusion in the mid- dle of the field resulted in a turnover that wound up in the back of the Fury net. The goal was a hard shot from outside the box on which Holmes had no chance to make the save. Exeter was awarded a penalty shot of their own when Tim Hundey made a nice run only to be hauled down in the penalty area. DeBruyn stepped up and buried the shot to keep the Fury in the game, but that was the last goal of the day for Exeter as Woodstock held on for the victory. "We are going to have to play tougher team defense in the second half of the season if we want to gain ground in this tight division," Fury spokesman Jason McFalls said. The loss drops the Fury record to 4-4-1 and a tie for third place at the mid -point of the season. Exeter has its first Cup game Wednesday in Nairn and then resumes league play Saturday in London against the first place Hispanos.
