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.

Expos split with Haymakers

Press-Republican

PLATTSBURGH — The Meron's Expos split a non-league wood bat baseball doubleheader with the Troy Haymakers Saturday, recording a 6-5 win in Game 1 before dropping a 19-11 decision in Game 2 at Lefty Wilson Field.

In the opener, the Haymakers, who play in the Albany Twilight League, held a 5-0 lead before the Expos rallied for two in the fourth and three in the fifth to tie it.

Then, in the bottom of the seventh, Meron's loaded the bases with nobody out and Billy Davis, who was the winning pitcher in relief, hit one off the fence to drive in the game-winner.

Paul Bruno led the Expos with two hits, while Pat Shaughnessy belted a two-run homer and Mike Bergman, a double.

A wild second game featured a combined five home runs and 39 hits as the Haymakers rallied for the win.

Tory Bouyea, Shaughnessy and Mark Passino led the Expos with three hits apiece, with Bouyea getting two doubles, Passino a home run and Shaughnessy, a double.

Bruno added a double and home run, Justin Mahan two doubles, Brent Peterson a single and double, Davis two hits and Bergman two hits in the loss. Davis took the setback in relief.
