The Citizen, 2007-07-19, Page 17THE CITIZEN, THURSDAY, JULY 19, 2007. PAGE 17. The Ontario Early Years program, held in Walton on Wednesday mornings, had a great group with five families in attendance. Haden Flood enjoyed acting out the story Polar Bear, Polar Bear,What Do You Hear? Hailey Rehkopf thought it was very interesting that we transformed the parachute into a boa constrictor. Making a snake using streamers was a huge hit for Julia VanderMeer. More children and caregivers always welcome to attend this free program for one to six-year-olds on Wednesday at 10 a.m. There was action at the diamondsin Walton, both Tuesday andThursday evening. The Walton Brewers hosted the Zurich Rangers on Tuesday night, July 10 and came away with a 3-2 win in extra innings. On the mound for Walton was Larry Lowes. He pitched well, giving up two runs in six innings. Walton scored its runs in the first inning, but were stalled until the eighth inning. Scott Leonhardt pitched the final two innings and held Zurich at two runs. In Walton’s half of the eighth inning, with the international rule in effect and Mark Feeney on second base, Scott McDonald connected for a solid single to score Feeney and capture the win. The next home game is Sunday, July 22 at 2 p.m. The Brewers travelled to a place near Guelph to participate in the Ponsonby Fastball Tournament on the weekend. The first game was Saturday morning against the Kitchener Selects. Scott Leonhardt was awesome on the mound earning 20 strikeouts in the 1-0 win.
