Down 3-2 to start the top of the sixth, Village Hills’ chances of continuing its tournament run was on life support. After a strikeout, Fletcher Smith worked a walk to give VH a pulse. A sacrifice bunt by Michael Huggins and walk to Josh Miller setup Aguilar’s heroics.

PCPA offers outstanding musical comedy
On opening night at the PCPA production of “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee,” there was one serious flaw. That was the fact that the show opened in front of a small crowd.
Several regulars at the Marian Theater, for some reason, did not show up. Perhaps it was because they were not familiar with the show.

CITIZEN COMMENTARY |
|
Just letting the kids play Isn’t it strange that no one offers an opinion on how to teach history, math, English, etc., but everyone thinks they know more than a coach. I have seen it time and time again. Parents who don’t think their child was played often enough, parents who think their child played too much, parents who think their child played the wrong position, and on and on. Sports would be much more enjoyable for everyone, if the parents would just butt out. Nancy Andersen/Santa Maria
