Brussels PeeWees lose, win
The Brussels PeeWee Boys lost
one and tied one in recent baseball
action.
After travelling to Atwood on
June 25, the team played well, but
couldn't pull out a win, coming
away on the down side of a 9-4
contest.
The first inning was a good start
with pitcher Matthew Kroll and the
defense, sitting the first three bat
ters down in order.
A homerun from Bryce Wedow
cashed in two other runners, Blair
Smith and Philip Leger in the sec
ond, to put Brussels ahead 3-1.
In the third Mike Walker stole
second, then Matthew Elliott was
walked. The runners move up after
a basehit by Tim Harrison. McK-
ercher's base hit cashes in Walker,
then some heads-up stealing makes
for a good deal of excitement. The
score was 4-3 for the visitors at the
end.
Unfortunately a solid third for
Atwood, who then turned around
and shut out the visitors at the top
of the fourth, turned it around.
Matt McCall came in in the bot
tom of the fourth to pitch for Kroll
and shut them down.
On the next night, they played
Auburn. The first inning highlight
was a three-run base hit by McK-
ercher, scoring Wedow, McCall
home, after shutting down the visi
tors in the top half of the inning.
Atwood showed some spark in
the fourth with three runs, but four
more for Belgrave kept the pressure
on. Jason Fear, Marks, Justin
Campbell, and McPherson made it
home.
Atwood managed one more in
the fifth, then were stymied in the
sixth and seventh. Belgrave’s Mof
fatt and Walker scored in the fifth
and Readman in the sixth to widen
the hometown's lead.
Belgrave pitchers were Camp
bell, Walker and Marks.
and Walker. McCall's pitching held
the Auburn squad to one run.
In the second inning, Blair Smith,
and Leger were walked, then a line
drive by Kroll brought Smith
home. McCall has a two RBI hit,
scoring Kroll and Leger.
Later a third base throwing error
costs Brussels two runs to end the
inning 6-3 for Brussels.
After a scoreless third, Brussels
moves ahead on the fourth when
Leger gets on board and is brought
home by a Wedow hit. Unfortu
nately, the team gave up fdur runs
to an Aubum outfield hit, which ate
up the lead and tied things going
into the fifth.
Two more scoreless innings
dashed the Brussels' teams hopes of
a win on this night.
Belgrave Mites

The Belgrave Mite Boys stormed
into Walton June 30 and blew them
away 24-5.
After scoring five runs in the
first, Belgrave pitching struck out
