Bethel Park’s Delaney Nagy prepares to deliver a pitch against Mt. Lebanon on Friday, April 9, 2021.
Mt. Lebanon knew it had to play a perfect softball game against rival Bethel Park.
The Blue Devils did not bring their A game, leaving the Black Hawks still perfect.
Bethel Park exploded for five runs in the second inning and added 10 more runs in the fourth inning to cruise to a 15-0 victory in the Section 1-6A opener for both teams. The game ended after four innings due to the 15-run mercy rule.
“We are very happy with the way the season has started,” Bethel Park coach Heather Scott said. “We are playing well in all aspects of the game.”

If students wanted to skate through Freshman Rhetoric a requirement at Augustana College they better hope they weren’t in Roald Tweet’s class.
The longtime professor was known for giving out “legendary” assignments, former Rock Island Mayor Mark Schwiebert told the Quad-City Times.
An essay in which only three multi-syllabic words were used. A paper in which the letter “E” only appeared a select number of times. A poem about a single word.
They were the sort of exercises that made one consider the craft of writing, the kind that inspired a lifelong love of language.

Watch SEP meeting video: “The Coles Smeaton Grange struggle: The next stage for the working class”
Last Sunday, the Socialist Equality Party (SEP) held a public meeting reviewing the political lessons of the more than three-month lockout of Coles workers at the company’s Smeaton Grange warehouse in southwestern Sydney.
The event was attended by almost 90 people, including postal and warehousing workers, as well as teachers and students in Australia, along with participants from New Zealand and Sri Lanka.
Late last month, the Smeaton Grange workers were starved into accepting a sellout agreement by the United Workers Union (UWU), which isolated their locked out members, refusing to provide strike pay or organise any support for industrial action by other Coles workers.
