Huron County Fastball League action. (Jim Brown photo)
The Walton Brewers only needed
five innings to score a 9-1 decision
over the Wroxeter Royals in Huron
County Fastball League play on
Aug. 29 at the Walton ballpark.
The Brewers put the game out of
reach with six runs in the first inning
and added three more in the third
inning.
Adam Verkley hit a double and
single for the Brewers with Bruce
Pearn and Ron Stevenson each
rapping out a pair of singles. Scott
Cox had a double and Jeff Robinson
rapped out a single in a winning
effort.
Cox went the distance on the
mound to pick up his first win of the
season.
Veteran player Scott Leonhardt
said Cox threw an excellent game to
collect his first win of the season.
“Everyone on the team played well,”
he said.
He added that the bats were back
at the plate, with some good hits.
“The Brewers are back,” said
Leonhardt.
The Brewers were in Brussels last
night (Wednesday) for a game
against the Tigers.
The year-end tournament is being
played in Brussels, Sept. 21-23.

Brothers face off as Tigers
face Hitmen in HCFL action
The Daw brothers were in a battle
on the mound in Huron County
Fastball League at the
Optimist ballpark in Brussels on
Aug. 29.
Righthander Shawn Daw was
pitching for the Brussels Tigers and
lefthander Jason Daw was pitching
for the Wingham Hitmen.
Shawn Daw went the distance on
the mound and recorded nine
strikeouts as the Tigers prevailed 6-
5. Jason Daw hurled only five
innings and had eight strikeouts.
Trevor Seip pitched the final two
innings for the Hitmen and recorded
one strikeout.
After Jason Kellington tripled in
the bottom of the seventh inning,
with the score tied at five, Adam
Corbett hit a single to
bring Kellington home as the
winning run.
Ty Sebastian connected for a two-
run inside-the-park home run in the
first inning. Contributing singles to
the victory were Gene Johnston,
Corey Campbell and Corbett.
Kellington also had a triple.
Veteran player Doug Shaw said
the Tigers got off to a rough start.
“We committed a number of errors
early in the game,” he said, “but, we
were able to get into the game and
play better.”
He added that the Tigers’ bats
were able to get some hits. “Shawn
Daw pitched really well for us,” he
said. “Adam Corbett came through
with a key pinch hit to bring in the
winning run for us.”
The Tigers hosted the Walton
Brewers last night (Wednesday) at
the Optimist ballpark in Brussels
and then travel to Belmore on Friday
for an 8 p.m. contest against the
Stingers to conclude the regular
season.

Ty Sebastian of the Brussels

Brussels.

going the distance on the mound.
Ben Pletch connected for a triple

was a well played game. “Both
pitchers pitched well,” he said.
He added that neither team was
able to get the bats going. “It was a
tight game. The games in the year-
end tournament are going to be
tight just like this game,” said
Shaw.

Mites named tri-county champs
The Brussels Mites “B” squad
won the Mite Tri-County Fastball
Championship on the weekend of
Aug. 24-26 in Brussels.
The team opened the 14-team
championship tournament with a 10-
5 win over Crediton.
The Brussels “B” squad then
received a game two bye for having
the best record in the North
Division.
Their third game was against a
very good second place Wingham
team. The Brussels team scored
three in their final at bat to send the
game to extra innings. It took four
more innings, but finally the team
came out with a 5-4 victory.
The championship game, to no
one’s surprise, was to play with their
cross-town rivals, the third place
Brussels “A” team
The “A” side jumped out to a first
inning 5-0 lead. But the Brussels
“B” squad fought back and once
again scored in their final at bat to
force extra innings. Three extra
innings later, the Brussels “B” Mites
were 6-5 winners and Tri-County
champions.
Team members include Devin
Bridge, Wade Machan, John Nesbit,
Jaimesen Newell, Rylan Jacklin,
Allison Stevenson, Charles Hoy,
Darcy Fear, Anna Fear, Perrin
Patterson, Jackson McDonald Inglis,
Allyson Barbour and Chris
Pennington.
As well as call-ups, Owen Newell
and Lucas Jacklin. The
team is coached by Mark
Pennington.
OPP say be wary of scammers
The Ontario Provincial Police
(OPP) has been receiving many
reports of financial scams targeting
seniors and other vulnerable people
across the province.
In the most recent scam,
individuals claiming to be
investigators from one of Canada’s
chartered banks convince victims to
withdraw funds for use as evidence
to assist with a bogus theft
investigation involving bank
personnel. After the money is
withdrawn and handed to the phoney
bank inspector, the victim is told to
go home and wait for a call
confirming the money has been re-
deposited in their account, the OPP
says. Unfortunately, that call never
comes.
In several recent cases, seniors
have complied and were
subsequently defrauded of thousands
of dollars.
Guard against becoming a victim
before providing money or credit
card information. Check with
another family member or trusted
friend to verify the information.
Remember, neither your financial
institution nor a police investigator
will ever ask you to withdraw money
from your account or assist with an
undercover investigation. It is also
vitally important that the incident be
reported if it does occur, to allow
police to investigate and charge the
perpetrators.
If you suspect you or someone
you know has been a victim of fraud,
contact your local police service, the
Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-
888-495-8501, or CrimeStoppers at
1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) and report
the crime.
