The sophomore Young was more than impressive in his first start of the year.The right-hander had a per- fect game through 6 2/3 innings before the Cougars’ starter and superstar Thomas Jankins deposit- ed a 1-2 pitch deep into the left field corner that went for a triple. Jankins would not score, though, as Young struck out Jon Janosz to end the game, a 12-0 Northbridge victory. “I was trying to throw something off-speed, I think the changeup was- n’t the right pitch there,” Young said of the offering that Jankins crushed to end the perfect game bid. “Plus I got it belt high, and he’s a strong kid and he can hit.

(NAPS) Here’s a bright idea: You can easily enhance your home with a few simple, col- orful, practical and decora- tive elements—without hav- ing to spend a lot of the green stuff. These hints on how from home expert Ginny Bean may help: • In the bedroom: Wake up the way your room looks with an easy-to-make headboard.

Wrap the plywood with quilt batting and then staple on a colorful fabric, such as an extra flat sheet that coordinates with the rest of your bedding, wrapping it to the back. Screw the head- board to the wall, hiding the screws at the bottom behind the bed. A quick, easy way to make your bed look more luxurious and inviting is to add a vari- ety of pillows in different shapes, sizes and textures.
