PIAA 3A Baseball Championship: Lancaster Catholic 5, South Side Beaver 1

School’s out for the South Side Beaver Rams; and unfortunately for the baseball team, the magic is out too.

In a showdown of teams bidding for their first PIAA Baseball Championship, it was the Lancaster Catholic Crusaders taking the 3A Crown with a 5-1 victory over South Side at Lubrano Park on the campus of Penn State University.

The Crusaders were led by starting pitcher and Kentucky-bound Dillon Marsh, who had 11 strikeouts over 7 innings, and only allowed 5 hits to the Rams, who didn’t score their lone run until two outs into the 7th.

South Side Beaver finishes their season at 17-6.

The Relay For Life Begins Tomorrow At Brady’s Run Walking Trail

Cancer is a disease that affects everyone either directly or through the experiences of a loved one. The Relay For Life is an event held across America at different times of the year, in support of the American Cancer Society and the fight to find a cure for cancer.

Rick Plassmeyer is one of head operators of the Beaver County Relay For Life, which begins on June 16 at 10:00 AM at the Brady’s Run Walking Trail in Fallston, and continues for 24 consecutive hours into Sunday morning. Plassmeyer, a two-time cancer survivor, spoke on A.M. Beaver County with Matt Drzik; emphasizing the weekend’s activities, its goals for donations, and all of the fun and food that can be found at this weekend’s event.

Disappointing Turnout At Public Hearing For Duquesne Light’s Rate Increase

A public hearing to challenge Duquesne Light’s recent proposal for an increase in consumer rates took place Thursday evening at the Park Inn in Big Beaver Borough. If approved, Duquesne Light customers will see a 9 percent increase on average, while commercial users will see their rates increase by 3 percent.
Yet despite the fact that about 600,000 area customers will be affected if the state’s Public Utility Commission approves the rate increase, only two of those 600,000 spoke at Thursday night’s meeting. One of them was retired Beaver resident David Aitken, who publicly spoke on behalf of AARP members in Beaver County in disapproval of Duquesne Light’s plan:
The PUC also held a public hearing early Thursday in downtown Pittsburgh. A final decision by the PUC is required by December 20.
