Gowanstown was not prepared for the onslaught orchestrated by the Brussels Squirts when they vis- ited June 6. The contest started slowly, with a scoreless game at the end of the first inning. Gowanstown struck first, putting a single on the board, but by their second turn at bat, the Brussels' squad had shifted into high gear. Runs scored by Matt McCall, Andrew Garland, Robbie McK- ercher, Stephen Todd, Chris Coul- ter, Robbie Kerr and Matt Kroll boosted the hometowners to a 7-1 lead. Holding their opponents score- less for the third and fourth, Brus- sels tacked on another seven runs in each frame.

The final score was 21-2. Walton, in town on June 13, was confronted by a very tough team. The visitors took the early lead, racking up three runs in the first, but the strong arm of McCall would once again stifle the bats of the opponents. Brussels started their comeback in the bottom of the second, with two runs before adding a total of eight iri the third. Walton managed only one more run off McCall, bringing the tally to 10-4 for Brussels. Once again, McCall struck out 13.

Brussels Squirts were handed their first defeat of the season when they travelled to Wingham on June 15. Brussels took the early lead, pushing one across the plate in the first and adding four in the third. With the score sitting at 5-1 after four, Wingham found their groove, belting six runs in the top of the fifth. Brussels was able to regain the lead with four in the sixth, but could not hold on as Wingham brought in the winner in the bot- tom of the frame. The final totals were 10-9 for Wingham. Adding to their season stats in runs scored were: Kerr, Walker (two), Harrison, Kroll, Franken, Garland, Oldfield and Todd. The Squirts' record now stands at six wins and one loss. The four runs scored by Ruttan, Jutzi, Chapman and Corbett were not enough to hold off the home- town squad as the one run lead quickly fell to a five-run attack. The final tally was Belgrave 20, Brussels 16. Corbett belted one homer for the visiting team. The following day, Bluevale came to town. Very evenly matched, the two teams started out slowly, with the score standing at 3-3 at the bottom of the second.

The numbers were put up by Thomp- son, Chapman, Tyler Jutzi, Ruttan, Christopher Jutzi, Mike Keffer and Adam Corbett.
