11-1 win for Express
EXETER — Sometimes
you play your best but it's
just not enough to win.
Such was the case June
24 as the Express lost a 6-
1 decision to the Strathroy
Royals.
Lonnie Hawke gutted it
out to pitch three innings
allowing three runs on five
hits.
He was relieved by
Exeter ace Marty Merner
who allowed three runs on
eight scattered hits.
The defense also played
well. The problem was
that the Strathroy hurler
Douglas was a little better
on the day.
He permitted zero runs
over seven innings on four
hits.
Strathroy built up their
lead early and led 6-0 by
the fifth inning
Exeter scored in the
eighth on four hits.
On the day, newcomer
Paul Walker led the hitters
with two singles.
Other top offensive per-
formances came from
Bobby Grant, Nick Regier,
Dan Masse, Lonnie Hawke
and Aaron Patterson.
The Express went to play
the other first place team
in St. Thomas on Saturday
in oppressive conditions.
The team played excep-
tional defense led by
Patterson at shortstop.
The outfield trio of Terry
Genttner, Corey Burtch
and Chris Smith ran down
several well hit balls.
Catcher Grant caught the
whole game and gave his
usual stellar effort.

was the pitching of veter-
an star pitcher Dan Masse
who held the Elgins to one
run on four hits.
He was in charge the
whole game.
The Express wore their
hitting shoes on this day
ringing up 11 runs on 13
hits.
The game was tied 0-0
until the fifth inning when
the Express rallied for
seven runs.
They added four more
over the next two innings
when the mercy rule was
applied.
The final score was
Exeter 11 and St. Thomas
1.
Offensive stars were
Burtch with three solid
hits and two hits each
from Patterson, Hawke,
Dan Masse and Smith.
Grant chipped in with his
usual two walks and a hit.
The Express played
Tuesday and again tonight
(Wednesday) in London,
plus there is a July 1 exhi-
bition contest with the
Exeter Juniors.
Then the worst part of a
brutal schedule is over,
according to team
spokesman Joe Fulop.
He added hopefully some
of the injured players will
be back after the break in
the schedule ends and the
team will show how good
they really are.
