Playing in Wingham Sunday afternoon, the Barons were handed an 8-6 setback. Playing a make-up at home on Aug. 13, the Barons defeated the Belmore Stingers 6-5 in eight innings. In Sunday afternoon’s contest in Wingham, the Barons scored single runs in the first and fifth innings, added three runs in the top of the sixth to take a temporary lead and then added a single run in the seventh inning. Wingham put two runners across the plate in the first inning, scored single runs in the third and fifth innings before scoring four runs in the bottom of the sixth inning. Shawn Bromley hit a solo home run in the seventh inning for the Barons. He also rapped out a single. Brian McNichol collected a triple and single, with Mike Bromley hitting a double. Adam Cronin and Chris Stewart both rapped out two singles with Grant Ditner contributing a single base hit. Darcey Cook started on the mound for the Barons, with Adam Cronin taking over in relief. Veteran player Mike McDonald said it was a great game. “It was a well-pitched game by both sides,” he said. According to McDonald, the key blow for the Hitmen was Devon Connor’s three-run home run. “That was the difference in the game,” he said. Against the Stingers last Tuesday, the Barons tied the game at five in the bottom of the seventh inning by scoring a pair of runs. After holding Belmore scoreless in the top of the eighth inning, the Barons scored to win the game 6-5. The Barons scored two runs in the first inning, added a single run in the sixth and then added two more in the seventh and scored once in the eighth inning. Belmore put a single runner across the plate in the second and third innings and scored two runs in the fifth and added a single run in the sixth. Adam Cronin started on the mound for the Barons, with Craig Elliott taking over in relief. Veteran player Shawn Bromley said it was a good game by both teams. “This was the third time we’ve played Belmore and each game was close,” he said. The Barons were in Brussels last night (Wednesday) for a make-up game against the Tigers. The Barons host the Walton Brewers on Friday, beginning at 7:30 p.m. at the Blyth ballpark and then host the Hitmen on Sunday, beginning at 2 p.m. They host the Tigers in a make-up game on Tuesday, beginning at 8:30 p.m. By Jim Brown Special to The Citizen Swing batter! Blyth’s Steve Cook could’ve torn the stitches off with this mighty swing as he and the Blyth Barons earned a win and a loss in away and home games, respectively.

Tiley, coming off a successful season with the Saugeen Maitland Midget AA team, attended the Team Canada selection camp held last week in Rockland, Ontario. By her performance at the camp, it was evident that Tiley carried her Saugeen Maitland success into the tryout. The selection camp saw 40 of the best young female hockey players come together to show off their talents with Tiley being one of four goalies. Tiley, who lives in Shallow Lake, Ontario has been a part of the Saugeen Maitland Women’s Hockey organization since she was a Bantam. The Saugeen Maitland Lightning play out of the Howick arena and have girls from all over midwestern Ontario on their rosters. Now that the roster has been chosen, Tiley and her Team Canada teammates will be heading to Lake Placid, New York to play a three- game series against the U.S. The series begins this coming weekend, with games on Aug. 22, 23 and 25 at the Herb Brooks Arena at the Lake Placid Olympic Centre.
