Casey Boven connected for a solo home run in the bottom of the second inning to give the Barons a 1- 0 lead over the Sebringville Sting. The Sting tied the game in the top of the third and then added another run in the top of the fourth to take a 2-1 lead. With Chris Stewart on third base, after hitting a triple, Shawn Bromley came to bat in the bottom of the sixth inning and promptly hit one over the left field fence to give the Barons a 3-2 lead. Unfortunately for the Barons, the Sting put two runners across the plate in the top of the seventh inning to claim a 4-3 advantage. The Barons were unable to score in their portion of the inning, although they threatened, giving Sebringville the one-run margin of victory. Darcey Cook started on the mound for the Barons, with Adam Cronin coming on in relief. Cronin contributed a pair of singles for the Barons, with Steve Hewitt getting a double. Rapping out single base hits were Cook and Mike Kerr. Scott Lealess received a pair of walks and Mike Bromley was walked once. Veteran player Mike McDonald said it was a good game that took just about 90 minutes to play. “Again, Casey Boven hit another home run,” he said.”And, Shawn Bromley hit a home run for the Barons.” He said the Barons made a couple of errors which resulted in two Sebringville runs. According to McDonald, pitchers Cook and Cronin pitched well. The Barons were in Wroxeter for a Sunday afternoon game against the Royals. Results were not available at press time. The Barons play host to the Wingham Hitmen on Friday, beginning at 7:30 p.m. at the Blyth ballpark. Heartbreaker The Blyth Barons weren’t able to capture a home win as they suffered a 4-3 loss versus Sebringville. Casey Boven, shown above, was almost able to tag a Sebringville base runner who stole second base.
