THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 18,1997 Bulldogs pull out win Blyth Squirts rack up wins The Walton Brewers were in town to take on the Brussels Bulldogs this past week. Walton's bats were still hot from their earlier game with the Tigers. Jeff and Scott Robinson led off with singles, then John Huether took his base on an error and scored Jeff. Terry Elligsen grounded out, but Robin­ son was able to score on the play. The Bulldogs wasted no time getting on the scoreboard either. Greg Wheeler singled on, then John Miners reached first on an error. Andrew McCutcheon singled to score Wheeler and the error on Brian McArter's hit scored both John and Andrew. In the second inning, Doug Dietz, Bob Steiss and Robinson all singled on and scored. The Bulldogs' Dwaine Nicholls led off with a single shot home run, then Greg Mulvey singled on and stole his way home. Walton threatened in the fourth with two base runners, but neither scored a run. J. Robinson hit a triple in the fourth and was hit home by S. Robinson who was hit home by Steve Knight with a triple of his own. This brought Bulldogs' Dave Smith out to relieve Mike Watson. It didn't stop the Brewers as Elligsen doubled and Steve scored. Dean Rutledge led off the bottom of the fourth with a triple. Shawn Thompson singled on but Dean didn't score until Wheeler took his base on an error. Walton's Steiss was relieved by Huether. The Bulldogs came back to tie the game in the fifth. Smith received his base on an error, McArter singled on and Rutledge hit them home with a triple. Scott Leonhardt relieved Huether for the Brewers. Walton's Bill Shortreed scored the winning run in the seventh inning as he doubled on and reached home on an error on McNichol s hit. In their most recent game, the Seaforth Reds met the Bulldogs for the first time this season. McCutcheon started for the Bulldogs. Wheeler got the Bulldogs on the scoreboard in the first inning. He singled on and was hit home by McCutcheon. Seaforth also scored a run in the first. Smith led off with a single in the second and reached home when Miners singled. Miners scored U-lOs turn it around This week proved to be a better week than last for Brussels I U-lOs. One score was reversed for the team after being defeated 5-0 against Wallace at last week's game. This week, Candice McLellan started the game against Howick I off quickly with a goal. Jacob Detweiller and Chris Corbett added one each, then Matthew White ended the game with two more goals. The team played a great game with many passes and defensive plays and terrific team work, said Coach Laurie Chapman. Malt Lee and Christopher Jutzi both played a half game in net. when Wheeler grounded out. Again in the third inning the Bulldogs scored. McCutcheon reached first on a single and took home on Smith's sacrifice fly. Smith relieved McCutcheon in the bottom the sixth inning. Seaforth threatened to take the game in the bottom of the seventh. They scored two runs and had two men on base before the Bulldogs shut them down. The Bulldogs won 4-3. McCutcheon went three for four at the plate, as well as pitching his best game in two years. The Bulldogs have no games this weekend. Brussels U-12s get shutout The goaltending duo of Scott Glitz and David Bondi earned a shutout for the Brussels U-12 soc­ cer team when they met Howick, June 11. A good team effort, strong defense and nice passing led to a balanced attack by the Brussels squad, putting them on top 5-0. Knocking the ball past the oppos­ ing netminder were Scott Arm­ strong, Brandon Blake, Jay Cochrane, Kyle Stephenson and Glitz. I’m not touching it The picture belies the action as this member of the Blyth PeeWee Thunder appears to be taking a defensive position rather than an offensive one against the soccer ball. The Clinton Crusher seems equally apprehensive. In truth, however, the tenacious players are always prepared to get in control of the ball, Clinton a little more so in this game, played last Wednesday, taking a 4-0 victory. LHEALTH on the hill Now in their fourth week of play, the Blyth Tri-County Squirt Boys ball team has racked up three big wins. The first matchup came in Ethel, May 19, when six players went three for three at the plate. Though the teams started quietly in the first, neither scoring a run, Blyth broke it open in the second when they put seven on the board. Ethel quickly evened the score, before allowing Blyth to add six in the top of the third. Ethel was held to one run in the each of the third and fourth, putting the score at 13-9 for Blyth. When the visitors took the bats for the final attack, they topped up their tally with seven runs, but let the defense slip in the Ethel at-bat Pre-Mites take on tough Ethel squad It was a tough matchup for the young, inexperienced players on the Brussels PreMite ball team as they took on Ethel for the second time in two weeks. Travelling to their opponent's field, June 10, Brussels was able to improve on the last game's effort by scoring one in their first at-bat. Singles by Justin Pipe, Bradley Quesenberry and Brianne Wheeler put a runner in scoring position for Christopher Becker who earned the RBI. Limited defensive knowledge by the Brussels squad aided Ethel in their eight-run attack in the first. Though Andrew Lindsay, Dustin Lichty and Jill Bridge tapped sin­ gles, Brussels was held off the board in the second. when five runs scored. David Kelly, Andy Toll, Chris Sanders, Trever Koehler, Kirk- Stewart and Ryan McClinchey bat­ ted 1.000. Blyth took home a 20-14 win. A week later, Blyth welcomed Brussels to town, but were not hos­ pitable hosts. They blasted their opponent 23-6. Blyth struck early and often, notching seven runs in the first, second and fourth, while Brussels was unable to make a significant effort until the fifth, when they pushed five home. Stewart and McClinchey had good games on the mound while Mark Caldwell, Cole Stewart, Kirk Stewart, Korey Machan and Ray­ mond deBoer went four for four at Following an opening homer by Ethel, Brussels held the strong team to two runs in the bottom of the second. The third inning saw Brussels gain a level of comfort. Pipe led off with a double, followed by a single from Quesenberry and a sacrifice bunt by Sean Slater to bring Pipe home. Another single by Wheeler pushed Quesenberry to third, allowing him to score on a nubber by Becker. Hits by Ashley Sholdice and Lindsay brought in the third run of the inning. Ethel added six more runs with their final at-bat. The final score was 16-4 for Ethel. A Review of activities at SEAFORTH COMMUNITY HOSPITAL .TUNE is Senior Citizens’ Month.
