Wednesday, June 21
Gaylord Islanders 1,
Brownton Bruins 0
If you’re an offensive savant you would have suffered last Wednesday night as the Gaylord Islanders snuck out a low scoring win in a rematch game from 2022’s state tournament matchup highlighted by the Fox 9 Townball Tour stop.
The only run of the game came in the bottom of the fourth inning when Gaylord’s Mitch Mathews scored on an overthrow.
The Bruins threatened several times getting two or more runners on in the first, third, fourth, and fifth (bases loaded) innings, but could not get the clutch hit.

Staffing in the city, as it is everywhere, has become increasingly challenging. City staff has presented information to the council about having an employee compensation study done to ensure the city wages are in line with like communities.
The council was given the information for an April workshop which was canceled, and the matter was discussed briefly in their May workshop.

There was plenty of offense to go around in this game where the two teams combined to tally 30 hits. The Brewers stranded 14 runners on base, which would prove to be fatal in this one.
