C_ZZb[fehjFec[heo"�E^_e Breaking news at mydailysentinel.com Issue 21, Volume 73 A reminder to stay safe Pomeroy Council discusses fire station, truck upgrades By Kayla Hawthorne Special to the Sentinel POMEROY — The Pomeroy Village Council discussed updates for the Pomeroy Volunteer Fire Department during the meeting Monday night. PVFD Fire Chief Rick Blaettnar asked the council to approve the purchase of new bay doors for the ﬁrehouse in an effort to continue renovations to make the building more efﬁcient. This part of the project will cost around $17,400. The council approved the purchase with ﬁve votes, as council member John Musser was absent from the meeting. Blaettnar also told council he found two used trucks in South Carolina for sale and is able to purchase both for $110,000. The department plans to use the money from the tax levy that was passed in November. However, Fiscal Ofﬁcer Susan Baker said the purchase will need to be discussed with the Board of Elections, because the minutes from the levy discussion said the plan was to purchase a new ﬁre truck with the collected tax money. Therefore, Baker is uncertain whether the ﬁre department can purchase used trucks with the money. This issue is being looked into by Mayor Don Anderson. Currently, the mayor and ﬁre chief are looking into getting a loan to purchase the trucks. In other business, the council approved the January ﬁnance report. The village has not received updates from the Ohio Department of Transportation for the 833 Sewer Project or updates for the water meter project. The council entered a closed, executive session for the second meeting in a row. This session was to discuss “employee compensation” and no action was taken at this time. The next meeting of Pomeroy Village Council is scheduled for Monday, Feb. 18 at 7 p.m. Kayla Hawthorne is a freelance writer for The Daily Sentinel.

Wednesday, February 6, 2019 s 50¢ Sarah Hawley | Sentinel While it may be tempting when you see ice on a pond to venture out onto it, that may not be the safest thing to do. Pomeroy Police Chief Mark Proffitt issued a reminder this week that no one should be on the water or ice of the Mulbery Pond (also known as the Beech Grove Cemetery Pond) at any time. Youth have recently been seen attempting to skate on a thin layer of ice which is dangerous, noted Proffitt. A sign can be seen at the pond as a reminder to stay off the pond. No one should be on the pond any time, day or night, any time of the year. ‘Mothman’ director searches for Bigfoot Staff Report The director of “The Mothman of Point Pleasant: 13 Months that Changed History,” is developing a new, documentary mini-series that takes on the Bigfoot phenomena. Director Seth Breedlove grew up in Bolivar, Ohio and used his hometown as a central location in the project, which, in addition to Northeast, Ohio, was also shot in California, Oregon, Washington, Oklahoma, South Carolina, New York and more. While ﬁlming “On the Trail of Bigfoot,” Breedlove joined four different Bigfoot investigative groups located in Southern Ohio, Pennsylvania, the Olympic Peninsula in Washington and the Ouachita Mountains in Southeastern Oklahoma. The series tracks the history of the Bigfoot subject while also telling Breedlove’s personal story, tracing how he went from ardent skeptic, to truly believing there could be a real, undiscovered creature lurking in North American forests. The documentary mini-series was created by Breedlove as a “solo, ﬁlmmaking experiment” through the course of 2018. Shot in over 14 File photo Filmmaker Seth Breedlove addresses the audience prior to a screening of “The Mothman of Point Pleasant” in 2017, held at the Lowe Hotel in Point Pleasant. different states, and featuring 21 Bigfoot enthusiasts, investigators, skeptics and believers, “On the Trail of Bigfoot,” is told in six episodes. Breedlove drew national attention in 2015 with the release of his ﬁrst ﬁlm, “Minerva Monster” which documented a Stark County, Ohio family’s brief-butterrifying encounter with a mysterious being in the woods behind their home in the late 70’s. “On the Trail of Bigfoot” revisits the “Minerva Monster” story within the context of retelling the entire history of the subject. Since the release of “Minerva Monster,” Breedlove has gone on to direct numerous features and shorts focused on local legends and lore. In 2018 he began developing an original series based around his ﬁlms with a production company in Hollywood. He spent numerous days and nights in the forest with these groups searching for the creature and managed to get some intriguing video and audio evidence that is shown in the miniseries. While in the Ouachita Mountains, Breedlove and members of his team witnessed something throwing rocks and making bizarre screams from a hill near their camp; an event that persuaded Breedlove that perhaps there is more to the Bigfoot “legend,” after all. “On the Trail of Bigfoot” was shot, edited, written, narrated and directed by Breedlove who considered the task of solely creating the series as a “ﬁlmmaking challenge.” He also co-produced the series with his wife, Adrienne. Together they run the production company, Small Town Monsters based out of Wadsworth, Ohio. “On the Trail of Bigfoot” will premiere at the Canton Palace Theatre on Friday, March 29 at 8 p.m. with four of the six episodes being shown. It is also scheduled to play at a ﬁlm festival in Eau Claire, Wisc., and again at the Kent Stage in Kent, Ohio this coming April. The series will see a digital premier on Amazon, Vimeo OnDemand and VIDI Space as well as DVD on March 29. Breedlove’s ﬁlm, “The Mothman of Point Pleasant: 13 Months that Changed History,” was shot in Mason County with the world premiere in Point Pleasant in 2017. Breedlove and the Small Town Monsters crew have also visited Point Pleasant and the annual Mothman Festival. The festival has embraced Bigfoot enthusiasts in the last several years, as well as those fascinated with the legend of Mothman. Flood watch issued for Mason, Meigs, Gallia By Beth Sergent bsergent@aimmediamidwest.com OHIO VALLEY — A ﬂood watch has been issued for Mason, Gallia and Meigs counties through Thursday afternoon, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) out of Charleston, W.Va. A ﬂood watch means there is a potential for ﬂooding based on current forecasts. As of Tuesday, the NWS stated rounds of moderate to heavy rain and the combina- tion of already saturated soils, may cause ﬂooding. Residents should expect to see strong rises in creeks and streams and eventually, rivers. Tuesday evening, water level predictions along the Ohio River were predicting ﬂood stage, though minor, would be reached at the Belleville Locks and Dam, as well as at the Racine Locks and Dam, with signiﬁcantly high water elsewhere in the area. The water level predictions as of press time on Tuesday evening were as follows from the NWS: Belleville Locks and Dam, crest predicted at 36.3 feet on Sunday. This puts the water into a minor ﬂooding stage with ﬂood stage at 35 feet. Racine Locks and Dam, crest predicted at 41 feet on Sunday. Flood stage is 41 feet at Racine. The NWS does not have a ﬂood gauge at Pomeroy where ﬂood stage is 46 feet.

Judge: Most of mom’s confession can be used Deputies say shooting deaths, violent attack may be linked BELLEFONTAINE, Ohio (AP) — A judge has ruled most of a confession from an Ohio woman accused of suffocating her three sons can be used at her trial. A Logan County judge ruled Monday some investigators interrogating Brittany Pilkington overstepped bounds. He ruled parts of the interrogation where she described smothering her sons will be allowed, while a small part won’t. The Bellefontaine (behl-FOWN’-tihn) woman has pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder charges in the deaths of a toddler and two infants in 2014 and 2015. The judge found the lengthy interrogation with Pilkington not having legal counsel, food, water and rest pushed parts of the interview too far. The Columbus Dispatch reports the prosecutor says the ruling won’t hurt his case while Pilkington’s lawyer said jurors could decide for themselves about interrogators’ actions. CHILLICOTHE, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio sheriff’s ofﬁce says investigators suspect the shooting deaths of two people at a home are connected to a violent assault that critically hurt two more people found at another home a few miles away. The Ross County Sheriff’s Ofﬁce says deputies were alerted to the shooting scene at a rural home on Monday while responding to a male and female with life-threatening injuries at a home near Londonderry, roughly 50 miles (80 kilometers) south of Columbus. The injured people were taken to a Columbus hospital. Authorities haven’t publicly identiﬁed the deceased male and female who were apparently shot. There was no immediate word on any suspect or possible motive. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation is helping local authorities on the case. �NEWS Daily Sentinel Program in Public Affairs Journalism officially moves to OU ATHENS, Ohio — Ohio University announced that its E.W. Scripps School of Journalism is the new home of the Kiplinger Program in Public Affairs Journalism. “Now more than ever, news and information plays a critical role in society, and the Kiplinger Program’s internationally-recognized credentials make it a coveted fellowship for today’s journalists,” said Ohio University President Dr. M. Duane Nellis. “I would like to thank the Kiplinger family for entrusting this important program to Ohio University and the funds that support it to The Ohio University Foundation. We are grateful for the opportunity to build upon its legacy as we enter this new era.” The prestigious fellowship program was established in 1972 at The Ohio State University, with grants from The Kiplinger Foundation, in honor of W. M. Kiplinger, OSU ’12 (1891-1967), who founded the prominent Washington publisher of business forecasts and personal-ﬁnance periodicals. The program has equipped nearly 10,000 journalists with the latest tools and strategies for success since its inception. The Kiplinger Program will be supported with annual income from a permanent endowment of more than $5 million that will be transferred from OSU to The Ohio University Foundation in mid-February, to complete the program’s relocation to the Scripps School. “My grandfather, a proud native son of the Buckeye State, would have been pleased that the journalism program named in his memory will continue to ﬂourish in Ohio,” said Knight Kiplinger, editor in chief and chairman of the Kiplinger media company and president of The Kiplinger Foundation. “Ohio State has always appreciated the generosity of the Kiplinger family and the contributions the Kiplinger Program in Public Affairs Journalism has made to the tradition of journalism education at Ohio State,” said Ohio State Executive Vice President and Provost Bruce A. McPheron. “We wish the program great future success in its new home.” Offered as a one-week program, an select group of established journalists are given the chance to engage in an intensive hands-on training to develop skills in areas like social media, video, spreadsheets and digital reporting tools, which will help them build relevance in this ever-changing media landscape. In 2018, Ohio State announced that the program would be offered by faculty experts from the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism on Ohio University’s Athens campus. “The E.W. Scripps School of Journalism is a natural ﬁt for this exciting experiential learning opportunity,” said Director of the E.W. Scripps School of Journalism Bob Stewart. “The Kiplinger fellowship not only offers successful journalists who are well into their career path the opportunity to learn from our world-class faculty, it is a fantastic opportunity for our students to network with experienced industry professionals and learn from their collective experiences. “ In April 2019, the Kiplinger Program at Ohio University will host 22 journalists from across the world on its Athens campus.

One such sign came Tuesday from Capitol Hill’s most powerful Republican, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who says he’s not seeking Trump’s blessing in advance of striking a deal on border security funding, a move that appears to remove a signiﬁcant potential hurdle confronting the talks. McConnell told reporters that negotiators “ought to reach an agreement, and then we’ll hope that the president ﬁnds it worth signing.” That’s a break from his stance during the recent 35-day partial federal shutdown, when McConnell, R-Ky., insisted for weeks that Trump’s buy-in would be needed before any agreement could be reached. Trump is seeking $5.7 billion for a U.S.Mexico border wall, but it’s clear that the HouseSenate negotiations won’t he had a good conversation with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and that staff is making progress in behind-the-scenes talks. “Both sides have moved,” Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., said. “And hopefully we’re going to continue to see movement.” But if Tuesday’s developments increase the likelihood of an agreement among the pragmatic lawmakers dominating the talks — who are drawn from the deal-making appropriations committees — it could increase the risk that Trump might scuttle the entire effort if he’s not satisﬁed with the border-security package. approve nearly that much. The Senate put a $1.6 billion plan on the table last year, though many House liberals think even that amount is too high. Government funding is set to expire on Feb. 16. The developments came in the hours before Trump’s annual State of the Union address, in which the president was sure to again call for his long-stalled border wall. At the same time, negotiators on the HouseSenate panel sounded increasingly optimistic of reaching an agreement.

Each of us has a different story as we give voice to our experiences which are deﬁned by a host of factors: family background, religious Dr. Vivian views, the nature of the experiences Blevins themselves, and the timing of those Contributing events. columnist Star athlete, World War II veteran and Purple Heart recipient Charles R. “Dick” Bayman (1926-2008) of Piqua enlisted in the U.S. Army at age 18 in 1944. His brothers , George W. and William E. , were already serving in the military. In 2000, Bayman self-published his 34-page candid account of, as he reports, “what I personally experienced, what I saw and what I heard.” Let me share with you. He writes of his fears, his anger, the hardships, and his sense of wonder in the two years he served. Additionally, he brings to life the slogans/ words that are familiar to some of us: Remember, scared men get killed; Maggie’s drawers; Baptism of ﬁre; and Night Fighters. As a soldier in the Battle of Leyte Gulf, which began in October of 1944, Bayman speaks of his hatred for the Japanese, his acknowledgment that he was in the “killing ﬁelds” where “Each day of ﬁghting was pure hell, and the nights were even worse as the Japs were always digging in the rocks or doing something to get you to reveal your position while at the same time preventing you from getting any rest. Every day as you became more weary, your attitude towards living and dying became more hardened as the only way out of combat, short of the war ending, was to either be killed in action or wounded so badly you were no longer able to ﬁght.” He writes of cowardly acts, heroic acts, and the unfairness of who was selected to serve and possibly die: “… My thoughts were ‘death is everywhere.’ I can see it, I smell it and as I look it in the eye, I wondered when it would be my turn.” He writes of the death of friends, the immoral behavior of one soldier (which he cites by name), non-commissioned ofﬁcers with no respect for what he and others had been through, and starving orphans. As he describes in detail his own serious injuries on the battleﬁeld and his treatment after, we hear the cries and screams of those in what he calls the “Shock Ward.” He describes the smell of rotting ﬂesh, the dismemberments, the deaths, the Georgia nurse who was “truly an angel” and the “stupid statement” of the Massachusetts nurse who hated being there and was said to have “remarked that she would gladly change places” with any of the sick and wounded. Bayman knew that in spite of his injuries, he and other were being patched up to be prepared for the invasion of the Japanese mainland. Japanese Emperor Hirohito was seeking a way to end the devastation, but time ran out for him. On Aug. 6, 1945, “Little Boy” was dropped on Hiroshima; on Aug. 9, 1946, “Fat Man” was dropped on Nagasaki. In his notes, President Truman had written about the timing of the bombing , that the targets were to be “purely military”… “even if the Japs are savages, ruthless, merciless and fanatic.” The targets, of course, were not purely military, and there has been extensive discussion of whether the atomic bombs should have been used (An essay that defends that action is “Thank God for the Atom Bomb” by Paul Fussell). Bayman found the culture of the Philippines different and interesting: “the ﬁshermen casting their nets,” the natives squatting and talking, open-air markets, and strange customs like Filipinos dragging a “chunk of meat via a rope tied around it” down a dirt path. Hatred for the Japanese for killing his friends, Bayman writes, “would last throughout my lifetime.” In concluding, he writes, “I can tell you there will never be closure to World War II in my mind, my heart or my soul as long as I live.” Note: Community members can join students at Edison State Community College to share their writing.

THEIR VIEW A library lover all year long “Love you guys!” These three words came out of my mouth spontaneously, when I only meant to think them, not say them out loud. I wasn’t saying goodbye to a family member or close friend. Instead, I was simply walking out of a public library on a cold winter’s day last month. The statement was directed towards a young library clerk behind the checkout desk who had just handed me two movies and a big thick novel to get me through the blustery storm headed our way. This particular librarian had never seen me before, even though I’m a frequent visitor to quite a few area libraries. She appeared mildly startled by my outburst of affection, so I tried to clarify it by adding, “I love all libraries.” Decades ago, my library love affair began with the classic Nancy Drew mystery series. As an elementary-aged school girl, I devoured these intriguing novels checking them out oneby-one. Like the Hardy Boys, these classics continue to pique the interest of some aspiring pintsized detectives. The books taught me the beneﬁts reading could provide. For instance, one can escape daily problems or exchange a boring level at the library. existence for an Whether it’s a exciting adventure book club meetwithin the pages ing, group colorof a good book. ing for relaxation, Travel, romance, information needs/ inspiration, eduresources, or chilcation, spiritual growth, and profes- Christina dren enjoying a movie, the free and sional success can Claypool all be achieved by Contributing often educational events bring folks reading, too. columnist of all ages and Like today, in my socioeconomic youth there were backgrounds together. wonderful programs for There are books, magachildren.

Sometimes, when browsing the shelves at the library, I see a young mother wrangling a couple kids, while clutching books and movies that will be making their way into their home. Witnessing the sheer delight and anticipation in the children’s faces, I remember back to my own days of being a single mom with a little one in tow. I can recall the feeling of fulﬁllment I had when checking out books and videos for my then young son. The library allowed me to be a better parent by providing these precious commodities when there wouldn’t have been any funds to cover their cost. February is Library Lovers’ Month, but Library Lovers’ Day is appropriately observed on Valentine’s Day. This year why not do something special for those wonderful library ladies and men who make our lives so much richer? Maybe though, instead of saying, “Love you guys,” like I did, why not say, “Thanks for all you do to make our community a better place all year long!” Christina Ryan Claypool is a freelance journalist and an inspirational speaker.

(AP) — Mississippi lawmakers are again killing bills to remove the Confederate battle emblem from the last flag in the U.S. to display it. But they also rejected measures that would force universities opposed to the emblem to fly the banner. The emblem — a red field topped by a blue tilted cross and dotted by 13 white stars — has appeared on Mississippi’s flag since 1894. Critics say it’s racist; those who oppose removing it say it’s a historic symbol. Mississippians voted to keep the flag in a 2001 Checkbook From page 1 program,” said Jo Ann Crisp, Fiscal Officer of Sutton Township. “It is important that the good people of this township know how their hard earned dollars are spent. We hope to demonstrate those dollars are indeed spent wisely and with careful consideration.” Launched in 2014, OhioCheckbook.com became the first resource aiming to make all state spending information available online. For three years running, Ohio has been recog nized by the U.S. Public Interest Research Group with the number one government transparency ranking in the country. Since its launch, OhioCheckbook.com has garnered the interest of those hoping to learn statewide election. Sev eral Mississippi cities and counties — and all eight of the state’s public uni versities — have stopped flying it in recent years, however, amid criticism that the battle emblem is a racist reminder of slavery and segregation. Supporters of the flag say it represents history. our intention to cooper ate with the inquiry.” Associated Press The investigation is the latest in a series of criminal inquiries into NEW YORK —A federal subpoena seeking Trump’s campaign and documents from Donald presidency.

The subpoena seeks “all documents” related to the committee’s donors and vendors, as well as records relating to “benefits” donors received after making contributions, according to a person familiar with the document. The per son was not authorized to discuss the ongoing investigation and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonym ity. “They want every thing,” the person said, referring to federal pros ecutors. The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Manhattan declined to comment. According to the sub poena, prosecutors are investigating a host of possible federal crimes, including mail fraud, wire fraud, conspiracy, money laundering and disclosure violations. Among other things, the subpoena sought documents related to any payments made by donors “directly to contractors and/or vendors” who worked for the committee, the person familiar with the document said. Any such payments sent directly from donors to vendors, without being passed through the committee, could potentially violate public disclosure laws. The subpoena also requested documents relating to donations “made by or on behalf of foreign nationals, includ ing but not limited to any communications regarding or relating to the possibility of donations by foreign nationals,” the person familiar with the docu ment said.

The Meigs girls basketball team — which claimed a 60-51 overtime victory over Athens on Dec. 20 in Rocksprings — met with the Lady Bulldogs for the second time on Monday in Athens County, where the Lady Marauders rolled to a 69-44 victory. Meigs (13-8, 7-5 TVC Ohio) hit 10 ﬁeld goals, including ﬁve three-pointers, in the opening quarter as the guests stormed out to a 25-5 lead. The Lady Marauders hit ﬁve more trifectas in the second quarter, outscoring Athens (7-14, 2-9) by a 22-to-15 clip in the stanza to make the margin 47-20 at halftime. A 14-to-10 third quarter run made Meigs’ lead 61-30 with eight minutes to play. The Lady Bulldogs tallied 14 points in the fourth, but it was too little, too late, as the Maroon and Gold scored eight and earned the 69-44 win. For the game, Meigs shot 26-of-60 (43.3 percent) from the ﬁeld, including 11-of-27 (40.7 percent) from deep. Meanwhile, Athens was 15-of-50 (30 percent) from the ﬁeld, including 2-of-17 (11.7 percent) from beyond the arc. At the foul line, MHS was 6-of-12 (50 percent) and AHS was 12-of20 (60 percent). The Lady Marauders won the rebounding battle by a 37-to-32 clip and committed just nine turnovers, six fewer than Athens.

(AP) — The reset button for NASCAR was triggered as soon as Joey Logano wrapped up last year’s championship celebration. There was massive work to be done to stop the stock-car series from a spiral to the bottom and the ﬁx is nothing short of a radical reboot. The critical change is the introduction of an overhauled rules package designed to make the racing watchable again. And it comes under new leadership at the top. Jim France replaced his nephew as chairman of NASCAR in August after Brian France took a leave of absence following his arrest for driving while intoxicated and criminal possession of oxycodone. Jim France is now listed as chairman and CEO, has routinely represented the family at NASCAR events and is addressing NASCAR’s ﬁve-year freefall in nearly all meaningful categories. The downturn happened during Brian France’s reign, and fans essentially exiled him over his extreme changes to the championship format and his detached — often absent — style of leadership. Jim France has been at every event since taking over and NASCAR at last is showing a sense of urgency in attempting to ﬁx its mess. “It is a business, but his ﬁrst love is racing,” said Hall of Fame owner Rick Locals From page 6 with the eight seed and will face ninth seeded Jackson in a sectional semiﬁnal at 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 11, at Wellston High School.

All stakeholders — the sanctioning body, teams, drivers, track operators and television partners — have brainstormed improvements and ideas to stop the plunge in attendance and television ratings. The solution is a new rules package aimed at markedly improving the on-track product. The new package uses aerodynamic ducts and a tapered spacer to reduce engine horsepower — in simplest turns, it should slow the cars and bunch them closer together to increase passing attempts and improve the overall competitiveness. It will debut in the second race of the season, at Atlanta Motor Speedway. The old package permitted a handful of teams to move so far ahead of the competition it took too long for anyone to catch them, the racing suffered and fans stopped watching.

Host Miller shot 57 percent from the ﬁeld and led by 20 points at the break en route to a 49-26 victory over the Southern girls basketball team on Monday night in a Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division matchup in Perry County. The visiting Lady Tornadoes (0-20, 0-14 TVC Hocking) found themselves in a 17-7 hole through eight minutes of play, then the Lady Falcons (9-8, 6-7) followed with 15-5 second quarter surge that gave the hosts a commanding 32-12 cushion at the break. The Purple and Gold kept things competitive in the third frame after making a small 5-4 run to close to within 36-17, but MHS closed regulation with a 13-9 spurt to wrap up the 23-point decision. The Lady Falcons also claimed a season sweep of SHS after posting 63-42 decision in Racine back on Jan. 3. Southern connected on 8-of31 shot attempts for 26 percent, including a 2-of-10 effort from behind the arc for 20 percent. The guests also committed 11 turnovers and hauled in 23 rebounds, 10 of which came on the offensive glass.

The Bulldogs were thinking otherwise, though. The hosts built big leads in both games and rolled to a doubleheader sweep of the RedStorm, winning 11-5 and 8-0 in non-conference action at Athens Insurance Stadium’s Jack Bowling Field. Tennessee Wesleyan, the preseason favorite in the Appalachian Athletic Conference, was playing its seasonopening games. Rio Grande fell to 4-3 as a result of the losses. In the opener, Tennessee Wesleyan snapped a scoreless tie with a ﬁve-run third inning before scoring twice in the fourth and once in the ﬁfth to open up an 8-0 lead. Rio Grande made things interesting with four runs in the top of the sixth, but the Bulldogs snuffed out hopes of a comeback by the RedStorm by getting three runs back in the home half of the sixth. Aloysius Cruz ﬁnished 3-for-4 with a home run, double and ﬁve runs batted in for Tennessee Wesleyan, while Dan Fry went 2-for-4 with a home run and Bryce Giles clubbed a solo home run. Cole Bellair allowed four hits and four runs while striking out seven over 5-1/3 innings to get the win for the Bulldogs. Senior David Rodriguez (Santo Domingo, D.R.) hit a three-run home run, while junior Caden Cluxton (Washington Court House, OH) had two hits for Rio Grande. Freshman Clayton Sorrell (Carroll, OH) started and took the loss for the RedStorm. Game two saw Tennessee Wesleyan grab a 1-0 ﬁrst inning lead before blowing things open with a four-run second inning uprising. Giles went 3-for-3 with a pair of home runs, a double and ﬁve RBI to lead the Bulldogs, while Jhosmel Rodriguez had two hits, including a double, and a run batted in. Adrian Marquez added a solo home run to the winning effort. Irving Martin started and got the win for Wesleyan, allowing three hits over 4-2/3 shutout innings. He also walked three and struck out six. Senior Zach Harvey (Kenova, WV) started and took the loss for Rio, allowing nine hits and eight runs over 4-2/3 innings. He walked two and struck out six. Offensively, the RedStorm managed just four singles in the loss. Rio Grande returns to action next Friday when it faces Huntington (IN) University in the Clash of the Conferences at East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, Tenn.
