Tigers clinch first place
Brussels Mites win (B’
Neither miserable weather nor
stiff competition could hold back
the Brussels Boys Mite White team
as they came back from a Friday
night loss to become the "B" play
off tournament champs in Listowel
on Saturday.
The team, who came into the
tournament in third position,
behind Seaforth and Listowel,
faced off against Fordwich in the
first game. Though they got off to a
solid start strong defense through
out the game cancelled some rather
impressive hitting. They lost the
11-7 in this double knock-out
putting them into the first round of
competition for the consolation
side.
Rain delayed the start on Satur
day against Winthrop, but pressure
didn't affect the Brussels team
which came on like gangbusters
annihilating Winthrop 14-4.
The second game on Saturday
saw them against Fordwich again.
Coach Alan Walker said, "This was
a really good game. The boys dug
down deep." A last inning grand
slam by Jason Armstrong knocked
in the winning run in this tight
game for a final score of 15-14 for
Brussels.
Things changed in the final con
frontation with Fordwich, however,
with the Brussels Mites overpower
ing them to a 17-7 win and the "B"
title.
Mr. Walker said it was a well-
deserved win for a team that
worked really hard. "They played
really well and it was nice to walk
away with the "B" side win." Mr.
Walker was assisted this year by
Don Ruttan and Murray Kellington.
The team received a trophy and
crests and plan to celebrate their
successful season at a party later
this month. Members of the team
are: Paul Albers, Jason Armstrong,
Nathan Conley, Mark Franken,
Nathan Garland, Patrick Gilkes,
Joshua Gropp, Chris Holdenmeyer,
Josh Jorritsma, Joel Kellington,
Mark Kroll, Matthew Kroll, Justin
Ruttan and Michael Walker.
The Mites Red team will be com
peting in a playoff tournament in
Belgrave this weekend.
Belgrave team wins 2
The July 25 game in Belgrave
against the home Squirts and Blyth
turned into a hit-fest with a total 36

The visitors came up with four
runs in the first, but Belgrave
answered back with seven. Michael
Sanders, Brian Sanders, Ryan Fear,

Jeremy Campbell and Tom Pfeiffer
crossed the plate for Belgrave.

points.

insurance with his third inning
home run.
Blyth owned the fourth however,
scoring seven run to Belgrave's
four. Jamie McCallum hit a grand
slam, bringing home Michael
McBurney, Robbie McGee and
Justin Campbell.

one run, while adding five to their
score. Crossing the plate for the
home team were: Brian Sanders,

ed Fordwich 7-3 at a home game
on July 30.
Justin Campbell scored the only
runs in the first and third inning,
while the visitors were shut out by
Jeremy Campbell. Both teams
remained scoreless through the next

Blyth Atoms
end regular
soccer season
The Blyth Atom soccer team
played host to the Goderich United
team on Aug. 4. Goderich put the
pressure on right away but Blyth's
goalie, Peter Nonkes, made some
good saves. Goderich did manage a
one goal lead by the end of the first
half.
Early in the second half Goderich
got their second goal, then Blyth
got on the score board as Jeremy
Van Amersfoort beat the keeper
from a pass from Matt Anderson.
Blyth hit the goal post a couple of
times but could not increase their
score. Goderich scored one more to
end the game at 3-1. This game
ended the schedule for the atoms.
They enjoyed a good season with
eight wins and four losses. They
scored 46 goals and had 18 scored
against them. Due to the rain, the
year end tournament for the atom
and mosquito team was cancelled
and re-scheduled for Saturday,
Aug. 15.
PEE WEE
On Aug. 5 the Blyth pee wee
team travelled to Newton. This was
an exciting game with play going
back and forth. By the end of the
first half, Newton was ahead by
two goals. In the second half Blyth
came back with two goals, the first
one by Kevin Campbell, set up by
Rolf Fresehknect and Becky
Morrison. The second was put in
by Rolf, assisted by Brad and
Lindsay Anderson. Newton scored
again and the .final score was 4-2
for Newton. Ron Rinn played well
in goal.
Special mention to the Newton
team who are always enjoyable to
play against. They will come to
Belgrave on Aug. 12 to play the
final game of the season.
Tournament with disappointing
results. A Brussels team has
captured a championship only once
- Ritchie's Rockets were “B”
Division champs in 1973 -
although the Jr. Tigers did reach
the consolation final in 1984 only
to lose to Sebringille.
Brussels opened with a 10-1 loss
to the Shakespeare Colts. Todd
Uhrig singled home Murray Pipe in
the fourth for the Tigers' only run.
Game two saw Brussels come
from behind to edge the Mitchell
