“It’s a dream, it’s a fun ex-perience,” Devin said. “ButI’m trying to learn as muchas I can.”

Scott Nelson, senior vicepresident of marketing at

“Jitta had a unique soundas well as a presence,” Nelsonsaid in an e-mail interview.“The fans (and Drake)agreed.”

Carole Milano, presidentof the Southington ArtsCouncil, will see herpoem, “A Time To Heal,”published in the book Fa-mous Poets.

A Time To HealBy Carole Milano

So…the Purveyor of Evil and mastermind behind9/11 is dead…our brave Navy Seals shot him dead.Not much we can add or say…but for the victims,their families and survivors…we can pray…and we can hope that tolerance and understandingwill take place….of violence and hatred…LEAVING NOT A TRACE…FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS TO ERASE.

By Julie SopchakThe Southington Citizen

Members of the Southing-ton Arts Council are continu-ing to make waves with theirown personal expressions.

President Carole Milano isset to have one of her poemspublished in a book called“Famous Poets,” a smallbook published by an Oregonpress. Marjorie Low, vicepresident of visual arts onthe council was recentlyawarded the Artist of theYear award by the MeridenArts Council.

Milano’s poem, “A Time ToHeal,” is about the 9/11tragedy. The poem was readby Southington Superinten-dent of Schools Joseph V. Er-ardi at the 9/11 commemora-tion held at SouthingtonHigh School last year, alongwith another poem by Mi-lano. Erardi said he liked theidea of using a local author’swork for the event which was“homegrown” for Southing-ton.

“I certainly could not sayit any better and I thought

she said it brilliantly,” Erar-di said.

Erardi said he was intro-duced to the poem by eventcommittee members whilethe program was being puttogether.

“The piece was, to me, aconnection between commu-nity and the event,” he said.“And what greater way canyou celebrate it other thanthe words of somebody thatcame from the Town ofSouthington?”

“I was rather surprised be-cause I didn’t know theywere going to read them,”Milano said.

While reading her poemswas a surprise, perhaps thepoignant memory for Milanowas at the end of the ceremo-ny when the band was play-ing, a flock of geese flewoverhead, almost as if onpurpose.

“We heard these geesesquawking in the back-ground,” Milano said. “Sud-denly, they just flew over thesky like they were airplanesin formation, it was so amaz-ing.”

Though getting publishedisn’t new to Milano, whohelped start the SouthingtonArts Council 30 years ago,she is pleased with the pub-lisher’s choice to pick thatparticular poem. Low, on theother hand, wasn’t recog-nized for just one piece ofwork, but rather her artisticand philanthropic contribu-tions to the community overthe years.

A member of SAC for 25years, she was engrossed inthe arts community long be-fore that. She moved toSouthington in 1987, but be-fore that, she played a pivotalrole in establishing theTrumbull Arts Commissionfor the Town of Trumbull, aperiod of time she lists asher greatest accomplish-ment. She takes a lot of pridein the fact the Arts Festival

on the Green for Trumbull isstill ongoing today, an eventthat was her idea.

“My baby, the Arts Festi-val on the Green,” Low said.“It’s still ongoing after 30years. That was my brain-child.”

Low, 91, has also been ac-tive in holding charitablegalleries that benefit thecommunity. She held a showto benefit the homeless atBurritt Library at CentralConnecticut State Universi-ty, and held another showcalled “Angels, Cherbus, andChildren” in 2009 at theSouthington Public Library.

“I donated every penny Imade to the SouthingtonBread for Life, SouthingtonCommunity Services,” Lowsaid.

One of her paintings fromthe homeless show, the main

piece of the show and a largeone at that, about 30-by-40inches, according to Low,now hangs at the office ofSouthington Community Ser-vices, donated by Low, whereDirector Janet Mellon ad-mires the work.

“You look at it and you canthink so many differentthings,” Mellon said. “It’s anabsolutely spectacular paint-ing.”

Mellon said to physicallysee the painting is to truly ap-preciate it, but described thescene as people in a train sta-tion who look lost, or just notinteracting with other peo-ple.

“You think sometimesyou’re frustrated during the

Low still remains active inher home studio; she said hernew thing is painting onrocks. She is also trying tounleash her abstract energy,trying to really dig deep andput her truest emotions ontothe canvas.

“Everything is inspired byreality, but I’m not realistic,”Low said. “I don’t wanna bebogged down by realism inmy painting. I like to feel freeto express my inner feel-ings.”

An exceptional student inan exceptional community

Commentary

By E. Richard FortunatoSpecial to The Citizen

The completion of theschool yearbrings joy tothe South-ington com-munity as itc e l e b r a t e sgraduations,academic ac-c o m p l i s h -m e n t s ,achievement in sports, thecommitment to diverse civicactivities, the developing val-ues of our young citizens,and the new challenges andtransitions many of themface as they move furtherinto their future.

The media is right to fillits pages honoring students,scholarship awards and the

memorable accomplish-ments recognized by thecommunity.

As we whole-heartedly ap-plaud the achievements ofour young people from pre-school through high schooland college, we anticipatethat you’ll agree with thepublic recognition of one ofSouthington’s exceptionalstudents.

Our honoree of the day isa young man, Bryan Davis,who is completing his junioryear at Southington HighSchool with a 109.15 GPA andranks first in his class of2013. He was selected for Pro-ject Lead the Way at SHS andis a member of the lacrosseteam, Key Club, Math Team,Students Against Drunk Dri-ving, Foreign Language Hon-or Society and the National

Honor Society.Davis is working with con-

fidence on his Eagle Scoutproject and will soon receivehis second degree black beltin martial arts.

Davis makes time to enjoyoutdoor activities such assnowboarding with hisfriends, mountain hiking,skim-boarding along thebeach, sailing on Long IslandSound, playing football andbasketball, mountain biking,and canoeing. He is also avolunteer at the United Wayand Southington Communi-ty Services.

The son of proud parents,Kaye and Ken Davis, Bryan islooking into the future withan eye on his interest in engi-neering, more specifically, af-ter graduation next year, heplans to attend a competitivecollege likely in the field ofelectrical engineering.

Recognizing his long list ofachievements, it should notcome as a surprise that Davisis one of only 30 students inthe State of Connecticut tohave been selected to theprestigious circle of the 2012Governor’s Scholar. Now, 30colleges and universitiesthroughout Connecticut arecollaborating in providingeach Governor’s Scholar anopportunity to further chal-lenge their intellectual cu-riosity and special talents.They will be invited to takepart in an educational en-richment experience at theirschools. The subject ofBryan’s required timed essaywas the dangers to society ofusing technology rather thanpersonal interaction withpeople.

The many accomplish-ments of Bryan Davis wererecognized by the TownCouncil of Southington in aproclamation designatingMay 14, 2012 to be BryanDavis Day in the Town ofSouthington. The recogni-tion was sponsored as well bythe commissioner of educa-tion, Connecticut Associa-tion of Schools, and Big Y

DevinContinued from page 1

“These are all guys that Ilook up to and two of themare like my favorite rappers,too,” Devin said. “So it was agreat experience.”

Devin said he has beensoaking up as much of the ex-perience as he can and tryingto take advantage of everyopportunity, like chasingdown MTV at one of theshows to get an interview.

“When we saw MTV, mymanager immediately ranover to them and told themthe whole situation and I gotmy first interview withMTV,” he said. “That was abig accomplishment.”

Manager Jared Glassman

met Devin through a mutualfriend while attending North-eastern University. He saidhe listened to a few of Devin’stracks and made an offer,from there is was just a mat-ter of getting work done.

“[Devin] is one of the most,if not the most, diverseartists I know,” Glassmansaid. “He can make any songin any genre he gets on soundamazing. His voice is unique,and his overall personalityand demeanor is that of astar.”

Glassman said “every sec-ond” of the tour is being usedto network and develop rela-tionships with as many peo-ple as possible, including try-ing to get face time withDrake and other artists topick their brains about the

industry and what to do to getahead.

“I feel like I’m a student inclass I’m just taking notes onhow all the other acts per-form and just how the wholemusic industry works,”Devin said.

Devin’s time in Southing-ton wasn’t always geared to-ward music, though it was ahobby when he lived down inFlorida, it took him a littlewhile to get acclimated to thescene when he moved up toSouthington.

“Throughout time I madefriends and we all made mu-sic together,” he said. “It was-n’t until senior year that Istarted picking it up and I didshows and I started noticingthat I had a pretty good fol-lowing in Connecticut.”

His first show ever was inNew Britain where he per-formed in front of a sold outcrowd. From there, he put to-gether a management teamand started stringing songstogether. While on tour,Devin said they have a studioon the bus where he has beenrecording a new album, thesingle of which he said hasalready been sent out to theradio stations.

Life on the road can be hec-

tic, and Devin said it canwear a person down, but mo-tivation is not hard to comeacross with such big dreamsfinally being realized.

“It is stressful because I domiss my family and friends,but at the same time this issomething I always wantedto do,” he said. “So I put thatbehind and just focus onwhat I’m doing right now.”

Devin said most of the in-spiration for his musiccomes from life experienceslike going through highschool and just having fun.As for his stage name, Devinexplained that being 6’2”

since he was in seventh-grade, he’s always been kindof tall. Down south, whensomeone is small, they’recalled a “jit,” so he got thenickname as an oxy-moron.

“When I started makingmusic I wanted to make itmore of an old school hiphop vibe,” he said. “So I put‘On The Track’ on after it.”

Devin will be back in townon Monday, June 11, whenthe Club Paradise Tour per-forms at the Comcast The-atre in Hartford at 8 p.m.

He would also like to say“Hi” to his mother.

need more field space on adaily basis during their sea-sons,” he said.

The committee tried to geta better pulse of all the or-ganized sports leagues intown, contacting the presi-dents of all the leagues andsending questionnaires, aswell as meeting with them tofurther discuss details.

Bob Borkowski, presidentof Southington NorthernBaseball, said his main con-cern is acquiring more space.Being involved withSouthington athletics all hislife, he noted that kids havestarted playing sports at anearlier age, so there are moreof them, and also there aremore sports leagues.

“It used to just be baseballor football, then the soccerleague expanded, and thenlacrosse came into town, andthen now you’ve got these

sports playing more than oneseason,” Borkowski said.“You have the same amountof people living in town thatyou did 30 years ago, but youstill need more field space be-cause more people are doingit.”

Borkowski said he knowsthere are open space proper-ties available, like the Bran-denburg Property in thenorth end of town that wasmentioned in the commit-tee’s report as a possible sitefor a new park. Borkowskisaid if the town makes a parkout of the property, volun-teers would maintain it asthey do other parks.

“We maintain a lot of ourown fields, and a lot ofleagues do that,” Borkowskisaid. “So we’re not necessari-ly using more of the town’sresources either.”

Committee member DawnMiceli said spacing wasbrought up to her as a needfor leagues in town, and apossible solution to that

could be lighting. “They need more space so

they could have more gamesand provide more opportuni-ties for residents,” Micelisaid. “And one of the solu-tions would be to providelighting so they can havenight practices, night games,whatever it may be.”

She added while adding anextra park via open spaceproperty would be nice, thereis plenty to be done with thecurrent parks.

“There are more immedi-ate needs, in my opinionright now, of what we need todo to maintain what we al-ready have,” she said.

The physical condition ofexisting parks was explored,with things like cleanliness,directional signage, safety,and compliance with theAmericans with DisabilitiesAct taken into account.Parks visited included Cres-cent Lake, the dog park, Pan-thorn Park, Recreation Park,Veterans Memorial Park,

and Western Little League.Smaller parks like JayceePark and Centennial Parkwere also discussed.

Miceli went on most of thepark tours, and said overallshe was impressed with thetown’s park system, but mostof all the volunteers whomaintain the parks.

“While we were there vis-iting, the different leaguevolunteers were there doingall sorts of landscaping andupkeep and field mainte-nance and it was pretty im-pressive to see how criticalthose volunteers are to the

quality of our parks sys-tem,” she said.

Romano said he, too, wasimpressed with the volun-teer efforts around the parksas well as the parks staff,which he said does a lot ofwork for not as much man-power.

“It’s an army of volun-teers that do a phenomenaljob with shoestring budgetsand doing their ownfundraising,” Romano said.“The spirit of that is some-thing you cannot overlook,it’s impressive to see them.”

The answers you need. The Care you Deserve.

As home gardeners return to their beloved flower beds andvegetable gardens, they might find that their bodies respond lessenthusiastically to bending, digging, and raking. Aside from achesand soreness, activities like digging in the garden, raking the lawn,and hauling away debris pose the threat of more serious injury to theout-of-shape body. As a result of the physical exertion, many may pullmuscles, twist tendons, and strain ligaments. That is why it isimportant for gardeners to understand what their bodies can andcannot do, even when they are in shape. With regular chiropracticcare, amateur gardeners can learn their body’s limitations and betterunderstand proper body mechanics for performing outdoor tasks.

Many physically active people, such as gardeners, benefit fromregular chiropractic adjustments. When you’ve overdone it and youhurt, visit our clinic for proper diagnosis and treatment. Call (860)621-2225. We’re here at 200 Queen St. Most insurance accepted. Weoffer affordable healthcare for the whole family. The answers youneed. The care you deserve.

P.S. Gardening is a vigorous form of exercise that can be useful inbuilding leg, arm, back, and abdominal muscles.

Against turffield at SHS

To the editor:I would like to comment

on the article “Council ap-proves turf field, residentsin full support.” Upon read-ing this article, I must say Iwas shocked. Spending$890,000 on a turf field for asmall number of students toplay on is, in my opinion,unjustified. I believe thatspending this money is un-fair to the students in ourpublic school system who donot participate in athleticactivities. I am not againststudent athletics. I think stu-dent athletics play an impor-tant role in keeping kids ac-tive and healthy, involved in

the community, and are agreat tool for building team-work skills. However, givingthis much money just for aselect group of students isnot fair. What about the stu-dents who participate in mu-sical activities, communityservice projects, art, or dra-ma, just to name a few otherstudent activities. It seemsto me that if our town is go-ing to spend such a largesum of money on a turffield, cuts will need to bemade elsewhere. I would liketo know, are teacher or staffjobs going to be cut? Or willnew teachers not be hireddue to the large sum of mon-ey being spent? Further, areour academics as good asthey should be? Might themoney not be better spent

there? Even if no cuts haveto be made, does it seem fairthat the athletic departmentwill be the majority benefici-ary of this field? I bet thatthere are many different de-partments in our publicschool system that wouldbenefit from $890,000. Itseems to me no cost is toomuch to support athletics. Inshort, this is too much mon-ey to spend just to keep upwith the Jones (othertowns). I think that moneyshould be equally distrib-uted to different student ac-tivities, and if any activitywas to be favored, I wouldchoose activities that benefitstudents trying to help oth-ers.

The Southington Citizen — Friday, June 8, 2012 261246306

There are milkshakes and then thereare milkshakes.

Our milkshakes fall into a category allby themselves. We say that because, likeour burgers and fries, we don’t sacrificequality.

Each milkshake is made to order. Noprocessing. Nothing premade. We don’tlift a lever, collect it in a cup and serve itto you.

We start with a New England favorite,Gifford’s Ice Cream. It’s made on thefarm in Maine by the Gifford family. Richand creamy. No preservatives. Purevanilla, fresh strawberry and deep darkchocolate. Each order is hand scoopedinto our blender with just the right portionof milk, and blended into perfection.

Once you try it, you’ll be back. Again.And again.

Like our burgers and fries, our Popwouldn’t have it any other way. Be thebest you can be, he always said. Hisname is on the sign. It’s our sign of pridein everything we do. A constant reminderof our heritage.

A milkshake with your burgers and friesis a combination that’s unbeatable.

Peppers stuffed withSpanish rice

As I was walking through

the produce aisle, I noticedall the pretty colors of thepeppers. There were yellow,red, green, orange, andblack. They are nice to fry, orwith a gas stove like I have,you can roast them on the topburners. You can stuff themwith Spanish rice for achange.

Start with two or threepeppers. Cut into 1/2 inchchunks and put in a fryingpan at medium high heatwith two tablespoons ofcanola oil. Add a half onion,finely chopped, then add oneteaspoon of chili powder andcook together, and add oneteaspoon of cumin, then fryit all together until it’s done.

Happy Cooking!

SHS,Amity to meet for softball crownBy Paul Rosano

Special to The Citizen

Southington starter Jordyn Mo-quin didn’t overpower the Masukbatters Monday afternoon, she fi-nessed them, and her defense dideverything it needed to do to backher up.

Moquin pitched a three-hitterwith two walks and didn’t strike outanyone. But Masuk never threateneduntil the seventh inning, and by thenthe Blue Knights’ bats had taken ad-vantage of every opportunity thePanthers had given them in a 5-1CIAC Class LL softball semifinal vic-

tory at Frank DeLuca Field.“I’m not a big strikeout pitcher,

but a lot of it is defense behind me,”said Moquin, who helped her causewith a two-run double. “I couldthrow spins and they would get hitsand my defense would get them out.We’re really good at playing as ateam and working together. Every-one really helps each other out; it’snot always one person dominating.”

Moquin retired the first nine bat-ters she faced, five on groundoutsand four on fly outs. She walked theleadoff hitter in the fourth, but thenset the Panthers down 1-2-3 on threegrounders.

Meanwhile, through the fourth,No. 1 seeded Southington (22-2) builta 4-0 lead. In the first, leadoff hitterNicole Rossitto walked, advanced tosecond on a sacrifice bunt, to thirdon a fielder’s choice and came homeon a passed ball. In the third, theBlue Knights added three more on arun-scoring single by Sydney Fer-rante and Moquin’s two-run double.

“I felt we did a real good job, offen-sively, defensively, pitching-wise,”Southington coach John Bores said.“We played very well. We had thatone error in the seventh that cost usa run, but other than that I thoughtwe played flawlessly.

“(Moquin) was in control. She wasthrowing her curve ball and dropcurve, fastball - spotting that, too -and she’d be the first one to tell youwhen she’s got so much confidencein the defense that she doesn’t haveto strike everybody out.”

Southington’s fifth run was a sig-nature play of the game. Rossitto ledoff the fifth with a double to left-cen-ter. She was sacrificed to third bySarah Carangelo. When Rachel Har-vey failed to get a bunt down, Rossit-to was caught in a rundown, but left

Knight 9 knocked out in semisBy John Pettit

Special to The Citizen

The Southington baseballteam lost 15 seniors, includ-ing Cincinnati Reds farm-hand Sal Romano, from lastyear’s Class LL runner-upsquad.

A rebuilding year?Hardly. The 18th-ranked

Blue Knights found them-selves back in the LL semifi-nals Tuesday night againstNo. 6 South Windsor.

Unfortunately, the Bob-cats spoiled Southington’sbid to make a return trip tothe finals with a 6-5 victoryin eight innings at historicMuzzy Field.

“We were 3-5 at one pointand we had to listen to peopletell us that we weren’t goodenough and we weren’t goingto make the tournament,”Southington coach CharlieLembo said. “I never be-lieved that. I believed in thisteam from Day One … All the

hard work they put in, all thehard work our coaching staffput in and just the belief wehad in each other, I thinkthat helped a lot. I can’t say Iexpected us to be here, but Iwas confident we’d have achance to be here.”

The South Windsor eighthstarted harmlessly. After twoquick outs, Trevor Mireksingled off Southington re-liever Craig Frobel. AndrewKing followed with an RBIdouble down the left-field

line to give the ‘Cats thewalk-off victory and a spotin Saturday night’s champi-onship game against Shel-ton.

The senior Frobel, whoran into tough luck all sea-son, did an admirable job inrelief. He allowed just tworuns over 7 1/3 innings togive Southington a chance tochip away.

“Craig just stepped up,”Lembo said. “Craig wantedthe ball the whole tourna-

ment … We knew we neededsomeone in the bullpen alltournament. I talked to Craigand he said, ‘I’m fine with it,but I want the ball.’ He’s acompetitor.”

The Blue Knights’ seasonended at 15-9 overall. It alsoended at Muzzy, the site oflast year’s heartbreaking 3-210-inning loss against New-ington in the state title game.

“It’s a baseball field andit’s a building,” Lembo said.“There are no ghosts here.Last year was last year andthis year was this year.”

South Windsor hardlylooked like a tired team afterplaying 13 innings in Satur-day’s quarterfinal marathonwin over Bristol Central. TheBobcats scored four runs onfive hits in the bottom thefirst inning to chaseSouthington starter BrettSusi.

SW’s Derek Pike (sacrificefly), Mirek (single) and King(double) had RBIs in theopening frame. The Bobcatsalso scored on a sacrifice flyand a wild pitch. Frobel (2-5)relieved Susi with two outsand a runner on second. Hegot out of the inning on abackhand play by secondbaseman Matt DiNello.

“I knew we could scratchout a couple runs, and wedid,” Lembo said. “We cameback and got it tied. Unfortu-

Blue Knight Notes

Davis repeats as shot put champ;tennis team falls in Round 1

By Nick CarrollThe Southington Citizen

She did it again.For the second year in a

row, Cherraine Davis placedfirst in shot put at the CIACState Open track and fieldmeet, held Monday at Veter-ans’ Stadium in NewBritain. The SouthingtonHigh School senior’s toss of45-feet, 11-inches outdid herprevious best by more thanthree feet, and her nearestcompetition by six-plus feet.

Davis’ performance inshot put generated all 10 ofSouthington’s points at theOpen. She finished 10th indiscus (99-06).

Prior to the Open, Davispowered the Lady BlueKnights at the Class LLmeet. There, she finishedfirst in shot put (42-01) andsecond in discus (114-05).

Southington rolled up 18points and landed in 14thplace in Class LL.

The Blue Knight boysearned four points at theClass LL competition, whichwas good enough for 25th

place.Southington’s Travis Daly,

a junior, finished fifth inshot put with a throw of 45-06 to earn a spot in the Open,where he was 16th (44-11.5).

SHS coach Matt Shea waspleased with what his ath-letes – boys and girls – did inthe championship meets.

“Overall at states we per-formed how we wanted,” hesaid. “Travis making StateOpens was his goal. Thehighlight was Kyle Hamelrunning a 9:43 to makeOpens in the two-mile. Cher-raine came to win, andthat’s her goal from here onout — Win LL, Open andhopefully New England’s.All the rest of our people didwell at LL’s. We are veryyoung having only one sen-ior, Allie Vachon, who per-formed well. Steve Barmorecompeted in three events,running sub-52 in the quar-ter, which puts Southingtonin a great spot. On the girlsside, Claire Manente andChrisy Swol and Nicole Wer-shoven representedSouthington well in the

field.”The boys golf team fired

a 338 and finished 19th at theCIAC Division I tourna-ment, held Monday at TallWood.

A modest No. 13 seed, thegirls tennis team knockedoff No. 20 Conard, 5-2, in thequalifying round of theCIAC Class L state tourna-ment.

Chalking up wins for

Southington were AlejandraGimenez (7-5, 6-2), CourtneyRace (7-5, 6-2), Caroline Rod-man (6-4, 6-4) and the dou-bles teams of Andrea Rasi-mas and Annette Kaminski(4-6, 6-1, 7-6 (7-5)) and JessTopper and Susan Murphy(7-5, 1-6, 7-5).

Lady Blue Knight coachRobin Thompson said theclincher was Topper’s andMurphy’s win at No. 2 dou-

bles. The duo trailed 0-3 inthe third set, but rebounded.

Southington went on tolose to No. 4 Newtown, 7-0, inRound 1.

The boys volleyball teamearned the No. 7 seed in theCIAC Class L state tourna-ment, where it fell to No. 2Staples, 3-1, in the secondround. Southington knockedoff No. 10 Simsbury in itstournament opener.

fielder Kayla Champagnedropped catcher KaylaCrisci’s throw to third andRossitto came home.

“That was a key play to thegame,” Bores said. “She did agood job. We practice stufflike that all the time. I knew ifshe could stay in between,we’d get a run, and we stoleone.”

Masuk’s only run came inthe seventh as VictoriaSchiebe reached on a one-outsingle and went to second on

Kyla Cannon singled toload the bases, and Rossittomade an unassisted force atsecond on Champagne’s run-scoring fielder’s choice. Mo-quin got Brittany DaMota ona come-backer to the moundto end it.

In the final, Southingtonplays No. 6 Amity, which beatNo. 2 Westhill 4-3 in Monday’ssecond semifinal at DeLucaField.

The Blue Knights andSpartans (20-4) will meet Fri-day, 7 p.m., at DeLuca Field.

The Blue Knights lastreached the championshipgame in 2004 when they de-feated Bristol Central 2-1 fortheir 14th title.

“I’m not overconfident,”Bores said about the final.“I’ve said all along I thinkwe’re one of the best teams inthe state and I’ll continue tosay that. Whoever we play,Westhill or Amity, I have aton of respect for. They’retwo excellent programs withgood traditions, but we have agood tradition of our own,too. What I told the kids was,‘There are two teams left inthe state tournament andwe’re one of them. Enjoy themoment. Not everyone gets todo this. We can’t assume thatit’s going to happen. We’rehere.’”

No. 4 seed Masuk finished21-5, and brings back every-one but one player next sea-son.

“I’m proud of my group.We wish Southington the bestof luck,” Masuk coach JacquiSheftz said. “My entire teamis back with the exception ofone senior. We’ve been in thisposition for two years now,losing in the semifinals.Hopefully, the third time’s thecharm.”

with a single to center. Southington knotted the

score in the top of the sixthinning. With one out, Rosesingled, was balked to secondand moved to third on aground out. Shaw then lacedan RBI double to left-centerfield to pull Southingtonwithin 5-4.
