Close Like the chicken or the egg it’s hard to say who got here first, the runner or the ball, but with the Auburn first baseman's heel off the bag the player from the Seaforth team looks like he just might have made it. The two teams were part of the action during the ball tournament held in Blyth this past weekend. Squirts lose On Aug. 3 Belgrave Squirt Boys travelled to Winthrop where they were handed an 8-6 loss by the host team. Winthrop jumped ahead in the first inning with four after holding Belgrave scoreless in the top half. In the second Belgrave narrowed the lead to one when Kevin Hopf, Myron Hussey and Tom Mullin crossed the plate. Winthrop answered back with two of their own taking a solid lead once again in the home half. A David Wray homerun capped off a three run third for Belgrave with Jeffrey Beyersbergen and Justin Campbell scoring the other two. To make things even better the Winthrop team was held to their six runs making the game a tie to this point Unfortunately, the home team’s defense shut down the Belgrave squad over the next two innings while notching two for themselves in the fourth to claim the two run victory. G. Blok, PeeWee’s MVP Tigers end schedule with win The Blyth PeeWee soccer team travelled to Goderich Aug. 6 for the annual tournament. In the last four regular season games, things had not gone well with three losses and a tie. The first game Saturday involved a re-match with Lucknow, the strongest team in regular season play and whose only loss had been to Blyth 3-1. They took a 1-0 lead in the first half, but two second half goals by Mike Courtney, assisted by April VanAmersfoort and Amanda Howson, gave the Blyth team a 2-1 win. The next game against Clinton led to a scoreless tie after overtime, despite some excellent chances for both sides. This necessitated a shoot out - but five shots each, it was still tied 2-2, leading to a single shooter situation. VanAmersfoort again came through by neatly sinking her shot in the left lower corner. The Clinton shooter was not so lucky, giving Blyth the 3-2 win. Zoey Onn responded well under the shootout pressure keeping them in the game with two good saves. The third match pitted them again against Lucknow and despite excellent play by all, they lost 2-0, giving them second place for the second year in a row. Through the season, the high scorer was Mike Courtney with six goals, MVP was Greg Blok (full back), Most Enthusiastic player was Jennifer Black (half), and Most Improved Players were Becky Morrison and Jill Walden. The Tigers completed their Huron County fastball schedule with a 10-3 win over the Zurich Rangers Friday night in Brussels. Mike Watson and Doug Conley each batted three for three while Murray Pipe enjoyed a four RBI game. The Tigers have games to be played against Bayfield and the Seaforth Bears, but the results are in doubt as the league's playoff meeting was scheduled for last night. The Tigers participated in the annual Brussels Fastball Tourna ment losing twice on the Civic Holiday weekend. Game one saw Todd Uhrig pitch five perfect innings, striking out seven, before the Sebringville Indians rallied in the sixth for a 6-4 win. Murray Pipe batted three for four while Doug Shaw was two for three. In game two, the Lieury Jets scored six third inning runs for a 12-9 win. Ron Strome was three for four, including two home runs, and finished the tournament with seven RBI's. KW Pride was the Brussels Tournament champion defeating the Mitchell Mets 6-5 in the final, while Sebringville ANAF edged the London Gators 4-3 in the consolation. Get some exercise Play with your kids Awesome Atom Apples end play Well the soccer season has come to an end and it seems that now soccer is through, the summer is ending too. The Atom Apples had a rough season but everyone seemed to have a good time. Coach Hillie said she did for the most of it. B.J. Cullen was the other coach. The Apples fought hard to win but were mostly outnumbered by the other team. This seemed to be the major problem throughout the season. The players were keen but with a small team they just couldn't keep up with the teams that had seven or eight substitutes. I sure hope all of them come back next year because I enjoyed coaching them and getting to know them. They're a great bunch of kids, said Mrs. Chamney. The team consisted of Amanda Bailey, Wes Beacom, J.C. Beacom, Amanda Cook, John George, Jesse Hakkers, Kyle Irvin, Justin Irving, Teague Onn, Jenny Ritchie and Cole Stewart. Special thanks to these squirt players Duane Buffinga, Tasha Cook, Danny Cullen, Alison George, Nick Packer, Kerissa Van- Amersfoort, who helped us out a lot in games. Mrs. Chamney appreciates the support and help of the parents all through the season. "It was great," she said.
