Sports Uhrig fires no-hitter for Tigers
The Brussels Tigers opened the
second round of the Huron County
.Fastball League playoffs against
the Exeter Braves with a 2-0
shutout.
The game remained scoreless
until the fourth when Todd Uhrig
led off with a homerun to centre to
give the Tigers the only run they
would need.
The Tigers would add an
insurance run in the fifth as Greg
Fritz stroked a one-out single, then
was cashed in on a Tim Fritz RBI
double. For the Tigers T. Fritz was
three for four with Fritz reaching
with two hits.
Uhrig pitched a great game by
allowing no hits and only two
walks while striking out 16 Braves.
In game two the Braves got off to
a quick start by scoring four first-
inning runs and adding another four
in the second to chase Tiger starter
Doug Conley and lead 8-0 after one
and a half innings.
The Tigers tried to get back into
the game by scoring three in their
second at bat. Hits by Uhrig, Brian
Niell, and Ron Strome were cashed
on an RBI by Doug Shaw and a
two RBI double by T. Fritz.
The Tigers pushed across a run in
the fourth on Fritz's single and a
Murray Pipe double, one more in
the fifth on an Uhrig double and a
Strome RBI double to make it 8-6
after six innings.
The Tigers scored two more in
the seventh to get within a run as

tiring, the Hullett team had a very
upsetting loss to the Holmesville

in regular season play.
