Brussels Squirts earn split
During this past week the
Brussels Squirt Boys '82' had to
battle not only two tough
opponents, but the hot weather as
well.
On Tuesday, they travelled to
Winthrop. The game stood in
Brussels' favour until the last
inning. Jason Armstrong scored in
the first inning off hits by Andrew
Garland and Joshua Gropp. After
Winthrop tied it in the second,
Brussels scored two more in the
fourth off hits by Garland, Gropp
and Joel Kellington. However, the
lead was not to last, as Winthrop
stormed back with seven runs in the
fifth.
Mark Kroll was solid on the
mound, striking out seven.
"Though they failed to get the win,
the boys should take pride in their
well-played game," said Coach
Jason Gropp.

While teammate Mike Cooper, right, moves in to help out if necessary, the Brussels
Mosquitoes goalie Kevin Mutter seems to have things well in hand on this shot from Wallace's
number 16. The two teams braved the heat to play at the Brussels school on Wednesday
evening. Despite many great saves by Kevin and some good team play Wallace came away
the victors.
