PICKLEBALL Paddles — Nets — Balls 519-524-9394 • email: bgriehl@gmail.com Sports Brewers rally to beat Grizzlies The Walton Brewers rallied from an early 5-1 deficit to defeat the Goderich Grizzlies by a score of 16- 5 in a Huron County Fastball League contest played July 7 at the Walton Ball Park. Goderich scored two runs in the top of the first inning and added three more in the second inning. Walton replied with a single run in the bottom of the second. The bats came alive in the third and fourth innings as the Brewers put seven runners across the plate in the third inning and scored eight more runs in the fourth to claim the victory in five innings. Barry Young started the onslaught on the third inning with a two-run home run. Later in the inning, Scott McDonald came to the plate with the bases loaded and promptly belted a grand slam. In the fourth inning, after Walton scored a pair of single runs, the bases were again loaded and Liam Melady cranked the ball over the centrefield fence for a grand slam home. McDonald added a two-run home run in the inning. Melady also rapped out a single while Young received a pair of walks and was hit by a pitch. Shawn Bromley and Scott Cox each had a pair of singles for the Brewers while Jeff Robinson, Mark Verkley and Wade Lammerant rapped out one single apiece. Mark Verkley started on the mound for the Brewers, with McDonald taking over in relief. Paul Dolmage of the Brewers said the bats came alive in the game for the Walton squad. “We had a good rally,” he said. “We came from behind thanks to some home runs after getting down 5-1 early.” The Brewers were in Wroxeter on Friday and are in Sebringville on Sunday for a 7 p.m. contest against the Junior Sting. The next home game for Walton is Wednesday when they host the Goderich Grizzlies at 8 p.m. at the Walton Ball Park. By Jim Brown Special to The Citizen Here’s the pitch...

Brian Hilt - Financial Advisor 19 Main St. N Bayfield, ON N0M 1G0 (519) 565-2700 brian.hilt@edwardjones.com Member - Canadian Investor Protection Fund Are you having trouble saving? The solution to the problem may be simpler than you think. It's possible to increase savings and investments just by ensuring you set aside money before it's used for other purposes. This technique, often called "paying yourself first," is a simple and painless way to boost savings. Paying yourself first means committing a portion of your regular pay cheque to savings before you meet other financial obligations. This strategy works best when you use a preauthorized contribution (PAC) plan that automatically transfers money from a financial institution account to your savings or investments. Money is automatically deducted from your banking account and transferred into investments. Or you can move cash into a holding account and later allocate it to individual investments. You'll find that regularly putting money aside throughout the year is easier than finding large lump sums to invest. And there's a bonus at least part of your money goes to work sooner, increasing your wealth potential. This is particularly important in an RRSP, where tax-deferred growth makes it paramount to invest money as soon as you can. Have a question you want answered here? Ask Brian by phone or email.
