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.

Mariners lose in championship game to Granville

GRANVILLE — The Clinton County Mariners responded with their backs to the wall Sunday by getting to the championship game of the Granville American Legion Baseball Tournament.

But, in the final, Mike Jones homered and drove in six runs to lead the tourney hosts to a 12-5 win over the Mariners.

Earlier in the day, Clinton County recorded a 9-4 victory over Addison County.

Against Addison County, Will Flynn went the first six innings to get the pitching win.

“This was a game we had to win and Will pitched great,” said Mariners head coach John Flynn. “He struck out nine.”

Pat Shaughnessy led the Mariners’ 10-hit attack with three hits, while Matt Leta and Nick Lamica each added two, with Lamica getting a double. Tory Bouyea chipped in with a triple.

“Overall, it was a good game for us,” Flynn said. “I was happy with the team’s intensity.”

Then, in the title game against Granville, the Mariners trailed only, 5-4, when the hosts scored six runs in the sixth inning to break it open.

“We fought back to get to within 5-4,” Flynn said. “We played hard, but just couldn’t get it done.”

Bouyea rapped out four hits, including two doubles, for Clinton County, while Leta added three more hits and Lamica, a triple.

“It was still a good weekend for us — we made it to the finals,” Flynn said.

The Mariners (11-7 overall) play the Champlain Valley Baseball League All-Stars on Wednesday night.
