Discussion

IMPORTANT: Comments that include a personal attack on other commenters will be deleted in their entirety. Your comments are not welcome here if you can't maintain a civil tone.

PLEASE NOTE: There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

ALSO NOTE: Derisive name-calling of an individual or group will result in the entire comment being deleted. This includes the terms "stupid" and "idiot" and similar references.

Welcome to our new online comments feature. Before you can join the discussion, you must first register with Disqus and verify your email address.

Once you do, your comments will post after they have been reviewed by a moderator.

We welcome your thoughts and your opinions, including unpopular ones. We ask only that you keep the conversation civil and clean.

Not all comments are deemed printable. Some are disqualified, at the newspaper’s discretion, for a number of reasons. Here are some typical practices to avoid in trying to get your comment printed:

There is a 150 word maximum for comments. All comments greater than 150 words in length will be deleted in their entirety.

Don’t state as a fact something that is unsubstantiated or that our editors wouldn't know to be true.

Don’t presume someone’s guilt in a case when it hasn't been established by a court.

Don’t assail or impugn an identifiable individual or group. If you have that kind of criticism, sign your name and submit it as a Letter to the Editor. (There is some leeway on this in connection with public officials, but it is not unconditional.)

Don’t use profanity. This includes the term “tea bagger.”

Don’t be incendiary or tasteless. Those qualities are subjective, of course, and our editors will be the arbiters.

Do not identify yourself in the main content area of the article content form. Only by enforcing this rule can the moderators prevent unscrupulous commenters from falsely identifying themselves as someone they are not.

Don't type in all caps. It is considered the Internet equivalent of shouting.

In sports articles, do not criticize officiating.

Remember, moderators are not allowed to edit any article comments. If an article comment fails any of the above criteria, the entire comment will be deleted.

We monitor comments Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. Approval of comments outside these times may be delayed.

Brockway drops pair of one-run decisions

BURLINGTON, Vt. — The Brockway Mechanical Senior Babe Ruth team came up short in a couple of one-run games on Saturday.

Brockway Mechanical, missing several of its older players due to graduation, dropped a 9-8 decision to the Granville American Legion and then a 10-9 setback to the Champlain Edge.

Brockway Mechanical, against Granville, scored a run in the top of the seventh to take an 8-7 lead and was one out away from a win when Granville pushed across two runs in the bottom half of the inning.

Richard Chase, Mark Eggleston and Kyle Rascoe led Brockway Mechanical with two hits each, while Cody Wood tripled. Cory Trombley, Steve Mills and Josh Chapman also had hits.

Andrew McDonald, in the longest pitching outing of his career, went the distance in taking the setback.

Then, against the Edge, Brockway Mechanical trailed 8-1 before rallying for seven runs in the top of the sixth inning to tie the score.

Champlain regained the lead with a run in the bottom of the sixth and Brockway Mechanical came back with a run in the seventh to tie it once again.

The Edge, however, won it with a run in the bottom of the seventh.

Eggleston paced Brockway Mechanical (3-6 overall) with a double and triple, while Matt Drollette and Chase added two hits each, with one of Drollette’s hits a double.

Trombley, Wood and Mills all rapped doubles in a losing cause.

Starter Rascoe pitched into the third inning and Drollette went the rest of the way in taking the loss.

“Matt Drollette and Kyle Rascoe made their first trips with us and were both pleasant surprises,” said Brockway Mechanical head coach Randy Lozier.

“Cody Wood made a diving catch in center to keep the second game close and Mark Eggleston had a couple of big hits for us in his return to the team.

“We’ve lost the last three games by one-run margins and hopefully we can get a couple of wins against Middlebury.”

Brockway Mechanical is at the Middlebury Senior Babe Ruth team today.
