Goderich Signal Star, 2017-06-14, Page 37Wednesday, June 14, 2017 • Signal Star 39 Peewee girls strong at Fastballfest the U 1 4 Peewee Seahawks opened the Mitchell Fast- ballfest Tournament on June 2 at Ketering Park versus Waterdown. Janelle Dither was given the start for the locals. The Seahawks led 6-2 after the first as Grace Taylor and Jaimy Langille set the top of the order nicely for a Katie Ridsdale RBI double. Kate Johnston then sin- gled.home Emily Ilartin to extend the inning. Bella Moore capped off the out- burst with a two run single. Goderich, however, seemed to play fairly incon- sistent in this opener com- bining some great play with some real "head scratchers" both defensively, and, offen- sively allowing a Waterdown club to stay in the game right until the end. Payton Swan stroked a fabulous RBI single to centre field 'to give Goderich an 11-8 lead. However, Water - down took advantage of the . less focused Seahawks scor- ing four in the top half of the final inning to grab the one run lead. In the bottom half, Jamie Archambault led off with a line drive blast up the mid- dle which actually knocked the glove off of the pitcher's hand, but, the young Water - down hurler had the pres- ence of mind to compose herself and throw to first for the deflating out. Two. ground balls later, and, the Seahawks were left with a lesson in the impor- tance of being game ready from start to finish'. Seahawks 15 vs Mitchell 8 With very little time to dwell on the previous night, the 8:00 am game versus the hometown Mitchell Hornets came very quickly. Goderich starter, Brianna Maclay, battled hard all game, and, helped her own cause at the plate with an impressive 3 for 3 performance. Ava Fitzgerald also had a great game at the plate going 2 for 2 with a spectacular bunt single. Defensively, Zoe Milne had a busy game expertly covering first base and the right side of the infield. Seahawks 16 vs Carnlachie 10 The Seahawks played their Saturday matinee game versus the Camlachie Cougars with Payton Swan taking the mound dirties scattering six hits, and, only allowing one free pass to the Cougars. Coach Sherri Coleman said, „Payton throws strikes which allows our team to always stay in any game and make the other tears early their runs with hits." • The locals were once again led at the plate by the tal- ented rookie Jaimy Langille, and,. veteran Grace Taylor who had a three RBi performance. In the Goderich half of the fourth inning, I lannah Kent itnpressed the Coaching Staff with an at bat that saw the rookie get behind early in the count, but, battle off several tough pitches before scoring Zoe Milne from third on a well placed ground ball to the right side of the infield earning high praises.. The Seahawks narrowly missed the Sunday playoff round with, a 2-1 record because of runs against tie- break format, which saw the Exeter Express move on instead. Coach Glen Ditner, while Goderich Shuffleboard There was a good turn out of 48 players for Bowling Pin Shuffleboard this week.

MacLeod, Bill Roper, Dar- lene Bard, Linda McRae and Jay McCauley. The winner of the pro- pane coupon from Huronia Welding and Propane was won by Claire Hayter.

The end of the season has resulted in an unforeseen consequence. Hockey fever is spreading throughout Huron County at a high rate. Employers. across the county have reported an increasing number of employees calling in sick with a variety of symptoms. In one particular case, a man had to quit his job because he could not take off his hockey jersey for weeks. Hockey withdrawal has hit the county in the past, but this year has shattered previous records. Another symptom of hockey fever is binge watching past games. Doctors have reported that binge watching can last for weeks and the symptoms can become so severe that people cannot move from the couch or watch anything else on TV. .The side-effects of binge watching include low motivation to do anything other than watch hockey. As hockey fever continues to spread throughout Huron County, local hospitals have reported that people suffering from this unique fever have. higher blood pressure and increased heart rates while watching hockey games. Others have reported that they cannot stop listening to hockey music, playing hockey trivia or reading hockey books. Despite the high rates of hockey fever, people in Huron County should not worry. Hockey fans can cure their symptoms by attending the Hometown Heroes hockey game on July 20th. Tickets can be purchased at the YMCA, MP Ben Lobb's Goderich Office, the Alexandra Marine & General Hospital or. online at www.eventbrite.ca.
