SHAMOKIN - Shamokin-Mount Carmel's American Legion team has been riding a winning formula lately. Get good pitching and defense, mix in just enough hitting, and win.
It worked again Thursday.
Mike Domaleski and Mike Stutzcavage combined to limit Milton to six hits, leadoff hitter Mark Minnig went 3-for-3 with a double and scored two runs, and Bobby Shustack had two hits and drove in two runs as Shamokin-Coal Township beat Milton, 3-2, at Glenn Parks Memorial Field to keep its playoff hopes alive in the Susquehanna Valley League.
Along with celebrating our nation's birthday this weekend, many area racetracks are honoring various members of the motorsports community.
Big Diamond Raceway presents the 30th Annual Georgie Stevenson Memorial this evening for the modifieds, sportsman and roadrunners with larger paying purses for each division's longer distance features.
The modified winner will collect $4,000 for their 40-lap feature, while the sportsman race for $800 in their 25-lap main event and the roadrunner 20-lap feature will pay $250 to the winner.
