Discussion

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.

Legion team back with win

PLATTSBUGH -- The Clinton County Mariners American Legion baseball team got back into the swing of things Thursday with a 6-3 victory over the Meron's/Renzi's Expos of the Champlain Valley Baseball League at Chip Cummings Field.

The Mariners improved their overall record to 8-5, including an 8-1 mark with aluminum bats.

Nick Lamica and Pat Shaughnessy hit triples for the Mariners, with Lamica finishing with two hits.

"We swung the bats well against some quality pitching and we played good defense," said Mariners head coach John Flynn. "We got contributions from a number of players."

Clinton County used four pitchers -- Matt Lamora for two innings, Aaron Tenbuuren for one, Alex LaFountain for two and Joe Kirkpatrick for two. Brett Bosley was the Mariners' catcher.

"We hadn't played in a while and we did some good things leading into the weekend," Flynn said. "It was a good game for us."

The Expos scored all their runs in the first inning on a three-run double by Mike Bergman.

Craig Bujold pitched two innings for Meron's/Renzi's, followed by Josh Powers, Bergman, Matt Rivers, Joey Painter and Billy Davis for one apiece. Kyle Kowalowski and Diavalo Fletcher shared the catching duties.

The Mariners will be competing in the Granville American Legion Tournament this weekend.

There are eight teams entered and Clinton County is in a four-team division that includes the Champlain Edge, T.C. Eagles (formerly South Glens Falls) and Addison County.

Saturday, the Mariners play the Champlain Edge at noon and then the T.C. Eagles at 4:30 p.m.

Sunday, Clinton County opposes Addison County at 9 a.m., with the tournament championship game set for 2 p.m.

"We're looking to get back on track," Flynn said. "Lamica and Shaughnessy won't pitch this weekend and we're going with our young guns."
