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.

PLATTSBURGH — Luke Geyette's three-run triple in the top of the fifth inning Saturday was the key hit in the Green Mountain League's 10-6 win over the Champlain Valley Baseball League All-Stars at Plattsburgh State's Chip Cummings Field.

The CVBL All-Stars grabbed an early 4-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning in the exhibition game played with wood bats.

But, the Green Mountain League, trailing by a 4-1 score, tallied four runs in the fifth to take the lead.

The CVBL tied it with a run in the bottom of the sixth only to have the Green Mountain League regain the advantage, this time for good, with two in the seventh.

John Quomg, Geyette, John Handy and Cory Pike led the Green Mountain League with two hits each, with Pike getting two doubles and Quomg, a two-run double.

Pat Shaughnessy and Billy Davis rapped out three hits each to lead the CVBL, with Shaughnessy driving in three runs.

Nick Lamica and Kyle Kowalowski chipped in with two hits apiece, with Kowalowski getting a RBI double.

Both all-star teams finished with 11 hits in the contest. The Green Mountain League, from Vermont, was able to avenge last year's setback to the CVBL.
