  • My TV career viciously plucked from me

    Whoever said, "Some things are not to be," said a mouthful. I have found that, although I may want to do something, it is not for me. Of course, the opposite is also true.

  • Devils drop heartbreaker to Keystone

    It was anybody’s game until Keystone’s seventh-inning hit that ended it all, giving the Indians the 5-4 win over Williston. With one out in the bottom of the seventh, Keystone’s Brett Anderson singled past short; bringing in Clayton Mosely for the game-winning run.

    Williston had drawn first blood, as Chris Morrow, leading off in the second inning, drew a rare walk from Keystone starter Mosely. Brandon Scott moved Morrow over with a hard single to right, and Tyrie Boyer drove him home with a chop up the middle.
