Concentration
It appears a little tongue work is required for that extra effort as a Brussels U-11 player tries
to steer the ball away from her Listowel opponent during their tournament game Saturday.
U-11, U-9 and U-7 teams from the North Perth region travelled to Brussels on the weekend
for the year-end tournament.
Blyth Mites down Colborne
The BlythMites were tough on
their visitors Aug. 12, sending
home the Colborne squad defeated
23-9.
Colborne showed its mettle, start
ing off the game getting on the
scoreboard in the first, but Blyth
players were heavy hitting, over
powering their tenacious oppo
nents. Ben Walsh and Dickey
Gregg with a homer started the
home team’s onslaught.
Highlights in the bottom of the
second included a lead-off walk to
Michelle Bakelaar, followed by a
double from Ashlee Cook and
homers by Lisa Nicholson and
Justin Ritchie.
In the third, triples from Erin
Moore, Devin Jenkins and Walsh
as well as homeruns from Nichol
son and Gregg continued to
increase the Blyth edge.
In the top of the fourth Colborne
managed two walks, but were
stopped from any further danger by
the Blyth defense.
Splitting duty on the mound for
the home squad were Katie
McClinchey, Moore and Jenkins.
