Brussels Tigers top Brewers 11-2
The Walton Brewers continue to
struggle in the Huron County
Fastball League.
The latest team to take advantage
of the struggling team was the
Brussels Tigers. The Tigers scored
an 11-2 decision over the Brewers
on July 4 at the Walton ball park.
Ty Sebastian went the distance on
the mound for the Tigers and
recorded a dozen strikeouts. Jeff
Smith started on the mound for the
Brewers and was relieved by Scott
Cox and they combined for seven
strikeouts.
Wade Stephenson clubbed a home
run and a triple for the Tigers. Ty
Sebastian hit a triple and was hit by
a pitch twice. Steve Scholl hit a
double and Jason Kellington, Justin
Pipe and Nathan Watson each
rapped out a pair of singles. Getting
one single apiece were Jamie
Hickling, Shawn Daw and Doug
Shaw.
Darryl Houston hit a lead-off triple
for the Brewers in the bottom of the
first inning but was unable to be hit
home. He also contributed a single.
Rapping out single base hits were
Scott McDonald,
Kevin Murray, Jeff Smith and Scott
Cox.
Veteran player Blaine Marks said
the Brewers received good pitching
from Jeff Smith and Scott Cox. He
said the biggest problem for the
Brewers was a lack of hitting.
Tigers veteran player Doug Show
said it was a good win for the team.
“We received strong pitching from
Ty Sebastian and Wade Stephenson
provided the big bat with a home
run, he said. He added that it is
always good to beat the Brewers.
The Brewers played host to the
Wingham Hitmen on Tuesday and
the host the Wroxeter Rippers on
Thursday beginning at 8 p.m. at the
Walton ball park. The Tigers hosted
the Blyth Barons on Wednesday and
then travel to Goderich on Monday
for an 8:30 p.m. contest against the
Grizzlies.

It’s going to be close
The Walton Brewers can’t seem to break the slump this
season. While they are defending champions, they can’t
seem to put one in the win column as the Brussels Tigers
slammed them 11-2 in Huron County Fastball action. (Jim

It was a Canada Day worth
celebrating for the Teeswater Otters
Bantam Boys OASA team this past
weekend. Fifteen teams from across
Ontario battled at the All Ontario
Elimination hosted by Napanee
Minor Ball.
Teeswater, including Brody Ten
Pas, Hayden Ten Pas and Mitch
Kellington from Brussels faced
teams from Tavistock (5-2),
Fullerton (9-0) and Grand Valley (2-
1) before meeting up with arch rivals
Port Perry Lake Scugog Lumber
Jacks. The Jacks had their way with
Teeswater in their first meeting of
the tournament 8-0. With their first
loss in the double knock-out
tournament, the Otters were set to
play the host team Napanee Express
in the semi-final game.
Mother Nature had cooked up a
warm one on Canada’s birthday, but
both teams dug in and Teeswater
came up with a handy 9-1 win over
Napanee.
Port Perry was a fresh and rested
undefeated team heading into the
final showdown. With the Otters’
previous loss to the Jacks, Teeswater
would have beaten them twice to
bring home the hardware.
Teeswater won the first game 5-4
over Port Perry which forced a
second and deciding game. The
Otters led off the scoring with a run
in the first inning and racked up
another four runs in the fourth. The
Jacks rallied to score a run in the
fourth and two in the seventh, but it
wasn’t enough. Final score was 5-3.
The Otters brought the banner home
to Teeswater. Otter pitcher Matt
Wardrop sealed the deal with
pitching honours for the tournament.
Top eight teams from this
elimination tournament will move
on to the “A” tournament final in
Port Perry Aug. 10-12. As top two
teams, both Teeswater and Port
Perry earned themselves invitations
to the Eastern Canadian
Championships to be held in St.
Croix, Nova Scotia Aug. 23-26.
