The Skeeters opened the scor- ing in the top of the first grab- bing a quick 1-0 lead off starter Brianna Maclay. The middle infield duo of Jamie Archambault and Janelle Ditner made a great play at sec- ond sandwiched between a pair of Maclay strikeouts. The locals faced a huge chal- lenge in this one facing a very good pitcher, and, the Parkhill fireballer did not disappoint striking out 17 Goderich hitters on the night. 'Ibis was a classic mound dual as Maclay also struck out 10 as the game remained 1-0 until the final inning. The Goderich defence con- tinued to be fantastic in this game with several key double plays. The third inning saw Grace Taylor expertly snag a line drive at short, and, give the easy toss to Abby Archambault at third. The fifth inning had Zoe Milne make a great fly ball catch, and, immediately double up the visit- ing runner at second with a great throw to Bella Moore. Also play- ing a solid game defensively at third was Emily Hartin. At the plate, the Seahawks did not have a base runner until the fourth inning when Jaimy Lang- ille delivered her first of two hits on the night. Katie Ridsdale had a single in the fifth, but, was left stranded at third base keeping the high- powered Seahawks scoreless. In the final inning, the Skeeters grabbed a 4-0 lead scoring three unearned runs. The Seahawks could have easily given up, but Ava Fitzgerald laid down a perfect bunt single followed immedi- ately by a home run by Maclay to help her cause. Grace Taylor was then plated on an RBI single by Hannah Kent. Things became very interesting after Langille moved Kent to second with another base hit, but, the Sea - hawk late rally ended with the winning run on first leaving the locals with a 2-2 record in the competitive Huron Perth West Division. Bruinsma Excavating Mite Girls energetic at G.P.S. With girl's fastball gaining in popularity in, and, around our community, the Sea - hawk U10's played their first game on the newly refur- bished Goderich Public School diamond on Satur- day, June 10. One local parent said, "This is a good venue for this age group, and, there is so much for the other kids to safely do while the game is going on." This year's Bruinsma Mite team will be the youngest in the Huron Perth Fastball League as they field an entire team of under aged players competing against some well established programs. Team Manager, Haley Stoll, mentioned, "Hope-. fully, everyone is patient with this young group because they are so young and new to the game. Our goal is to develop Team and individual skills, and, to have fun." The Seaforth Wolverines were the visitors on this home opener with Goderich send- ing Danika Dykstra to the mound doing a great job of throwing strikes in her inning of work. In the home half of the first, Sophie Caldwell and Taylor Vanderburgh were awesome at getting on base setting the table for an RBI single from Addison Blake. Alyssa Hakkers, Aven Dykstra, and, Mackinley O'Brien did a fantastic job of using their speed on the base paths. Young catcher, Karsyn McI- nally, did an expert job behind the plate helping young wind - miller, Grace Stoll, get the job done. Cassie Colquhoun, and, Alice Bosch provided some offensive spark for the Sea- hawks with a pair of awe- some hits through the infield. On Tuesday, June 13, the sunflower seeds were flying again at GPS as the Seahawks played host to the Skeeters from Parkhill. Karsyn McInally did a solid job of working through a solid Parkhill batting order. Molly Allan put the Sea - hawks in flight with a tremen- dous base hit through the left side of the helpless Skeeter infield. The young Seahawks really seemed to enjoy the art of stealing bases, but had to really focus against a very good Parkhill catcher. Cassie Colquhoun did an awesome job of pitching for the Seahawks limiting the Parkhill batters in her inning of work. Coach Mike Bosch was impressed with his club's effort: "We know we're in tough against some good teams, but, our girls have shown some great improvement in the past month." Be sure to come out to GPS on June 20 as the Mite's host the Seaforth Wolverines once again. Game time is 6:15 pm, and seating is limited.
