Tigers best Sebringville Sting with four-run rally
Four runs in the bottom of the fifth
inning enabled the Brussels Tigers to
score a 7-4 decision over the
Sebringville Junior Sting in a Huron
County Fastball League contest
played July 15 at the Optimist Ball
Park in Brussels.
The Tigers scored three runs in the
bottom of the first inning thanks to a
three-run home run by Ty Sebastian.
Sebringville put two runners across
the plate in the top of the second and
tied the game at three with a single
run in the top of the third
inning.
Brussels then scored four runs in
the bottom of the fifth, thanks in part
to a bases-loaded triple by Ben
Newell. Jason Kellington hit a
sacrifice fly to score Newell. The
Sting scored a single run in the top
of the seventh.
Shawn Daw started on the mound
for the Tigers, with Sebastian taking
over in relief. The duo combined for
16 strike outs.
Sebastian also hit a single to go
along with his home run. Andrew
Baker had a triple and single for the
Tigers with Scott McTavish
connecting for a double. Adam
Corbett rapped out a pair of singles
with single base hits being
contributed by Steve Scholl, Corey
Campbell and Sean Cook.
Daw said it was a good game for
the Tigers. “We battled back and the
bats were working for us tonight,” he
said. “It was a good team effort.”
The Tigers were in Zurich on
Tuesday for a game against the
Rangers and then host the Fullarton
A’s on Wednesday in game getting
underway at 8:30 p.m. at the
Optimist Ball Park in Brussels.

Tigers, Belmore Stingers game
suspended due to wet weather
The Brussels Tigers hosted the
Belmore Stingers last Friday in a
Huron County Fastball League
contest played at the Optimist Ball
Park in Brussels.
The Tigers were at bat in the
bottom of the fourth inning when the
rains came. The game will be
resumed from the bottom of the
fourth sometime this season, with
Jason Kellington coming to bat.
The Stingers held a 4-2 lead when
the game was halted in the bottom of
the fourth. Dennis Dewar was
pitching for the Tigers and Kris
Wright was the hurler for Belmore.
Ty Sebastian connected for a lead-
off home run in the bottom of the
fourth inning. Dewar and Scholl
each rapped out a pair of singles for
the Tigers with Adam Corbett
getting one single.
The game will be resumed later in
the season, possibly when the Tigers
visit Belmore on Aug. 28.By Jim Brown

spaces and that could be a problem.”
Van Leeuwen, the pastor for the
Blyth Christian Reformed Church,
said theatre-goers could park in his
main street church’s parking lot,
while Blyth Festival General
Manager Deb Sholdice said that, on
certain rare occasions, the municipal
parking lot is often not full.
“People think that the lot is for the
grocery store, but it is municipally
owned,” she said.
North Huron Economic
Development Officer Connie
Goodall pointed out that sandwich
signs could be used to indicate
where parking is for theatre events.
Sholdice, however, said she
wanted to point out that having
people park somewhere other than
main street could hurt local
commerce instead of helping it.
While the outdoor seating may help
businesses, having people bypass
the main street by parking
somewhere and never needing to
walk by the restaurants would likely
hurt more.
Van Leeuwen said that, if the
parking problem becomes prevalent
with the parkettes, the BIA could
look at the possible solutions
suggested.
A high-scoring affair
On July 15, the Blyth Pre-mites were in action and the runs
were coming easy and often. The Blyth squad took on their
neighbours to the north from Lucknow and came up on the
short end of a 23-20 score. (Vicky Bremner photo)
