The Walton Brewers broke open a
close game in the fourth inning of
their Huron County Fastball League
contest Sunday afternoon played in
Wingham by scoring four runs
enroute to a 6-3 verdict over the
Wingham Hitmen.
Catcher Scott McDonald was the
big hitter in the inning, as he clubbed
a three-run homerun.
The game was called after five
innings due to rain.
The Brewers put one run across
the plate in the second inning and
added another run in the top of the
third. Wingham tied the game in the
bottom of the third inning with Ty
Brown connecting for a homerun.
Jeff Smith went the five innings on
the mound as he recorded a pair of
strikeouts. Trevor Seip started on the
mound for the Hitmen with Jason
Daw taking over in the fifth inning.
Bruce Pearn had a double and
single for the Brewers with Barry
Young rapping out a pair of singles.
Scott Leonhardt and Smith
contributed one single apiece to the
victory.
Veteran player Paul Dolmage said
it was a good win for the Brewers.
“The boys were really stinging the
ball,” he said.
According to Dolmage, the
Brewers look solid again this year.
“We have the same 19-man roster
we had last season that won the
league championship and we are
gearing up to win it again this year,”
he said.
The only addition to the team this
year is Brandon McGavin.
Next game for the Brewers is
Wednesday, June 13 when they host
the Blyth Barons on an 8 p.m.
contest.
The Barons were scheduled to
play the Belmore Stingers this past
Friday, but the game was postponed
because of the rain and will be
played at a later date. The Barons
host the Brussels Tigers this Friday
in a game getting underway at 7:30
p.m.
The Tigers were in Sebringville
last night (Wednesday) for a game
against the Sting. On Sunday, the
Tigers travel to Wingham for a 2
p.m. game against the Hitmen.

Chip and a Putt
– By Bruce Skinn
The Wingham Golf and Curling
Club turned the calendar after a busy
month of May and welcomed some
much-needed rain for the first three
days of June. The rain put a damper
on the weekend golf but not the
dining room activities.
Friday the club held its monthly
wing night along with the wedding
rehearsal party for Lisa Morrison
and Greg Machan. The large turnout
kept the kitchen staff running to try
to keep up with orders for Cheryl’s
extra large and tasty chicken wings.
Saturday night the dining room
was host of the 60th anniversary
supper of Helen and Bob McKague.
The family were treated to a roast
beef buffet. Sunday morning
Michele Nixon and Tyson Glassier
held their morning after stag brunch
also in the dining lounge. The over
40 guests enjoyed an all-you-can-eat
breakfast.
In golf action on Wednesday, May
30 the senior men had 23 golfers
take part. Warren Rich claimed first
place with Glen McMichael second
and Clayt Ruppel third. Grant Currie
took home the longest putt prize
while Don Bone again shot low
round of the day.
On Thursday night men’s action
68 golfers set a new record for
golfers on a clear but cool night.
Trevor Hopf had the hot hand with
birdies on the last three holes to
shoot a 37 and claim low round for
the night. Steve Nixon also had his A
game with his iron play taking away
both closest to the pin awards. Other
winners were longest putts, Ken
Mathers, Wayne Whytock, Terry
Anger and Matt Rozendal while Pete
DeJong and Doug Rathwell went
home with the hidden score prizes.
The doctor recruitment
tournament to be held on Saturday,
June 16 is still looking for up to four
teams to play in this well run
tournament for a great cause. Please
contact the club if you can
form a team or want to play with
someone.
OUT OF BOUNDS NEWS
The annual kids golf camp is
scheduled to run July 2 to July 6.
There is still room for a few more
children and the club is also looking
for volunteers to help teach the kids
some basic elements of this great
game.
