Magicians 2-0 on two hits in a West Region baseball game at
Municipal Ballpark. Ten Magicians went down on strikes. He
walked one. (Read

Patriot looking for support - When it comes to run support,
Zach Wentz is living below the poverty level. Wentz,
Century's junior right-handed pitching ace, has surrendered just
one earned run in his last two starts. He has nary a win to show
for it. Monday, Wentz, a hard-throwing 6-foot-2, 195-pounder,
yielded one run - unearned - and lost 1-0 to region-leading
Minot. - May 15,

If you
