MORGANTOWN, W.Va. Bridgeport Post 68 had everything going its way through six innings of Wednesday’s matchup with Rockport (Ind.) Post 254 in an American Legion Great Lakes Regional Tournament matchup at Dale Miller Field.
The seventh inning, however, couldn’t have gone any worse.
West Virginia’s state champion allowed eight runs in the top of the seventh inning, including a run-scoring single off the bat of Jackson Raaf that broke a tie and sent Indiana’s state champion to an 11-10 victory.

The University of Maine System is encouraging students to get the COVID-19 vaccine. During a virtual launch of its This is our shot, Maine campaign on Tuesday, several students encouraged their peers to get vaccinated. Our population tends to have the mentality that we ll be fine until someone close to us or if we get it personally, then we realize how serious it is. And at that point, it s kind of too late, says Orono senior nursing student Candace Doughty, who says she got vaccinated back in February. So I think it s important for us to be vaccinated to reduce its incidence so everything can get back to normal like we desperately want it to.
