American Legion Baseball Florence The old brawl game cruises 14-0 Benches-clearing fight gives P-15’s forfeit win as past Post 68 BY SCOTT CHANCEY Lexington doesn’t have enough players to finish Morning News

FLORENCE — Lex Tuten made Florence Post 1 forget about its past offensive struggles. The Johnsonville standout finished a home run shy of a cycle as head coach Derick Urquhart’s team cruised to a 14-0 win over Manning-Santee Post 68 on Tuesday in Game 1 of their first-round, best-of-5 American Legion baseball playoff series at Legion Field. the game was shortened to 6 ½ innings because of the 10- run rule. Game 2 is 7 p.m. today at Monarch Field in Manning. Tuten had an RBI single in the first, and RBI double in the second, a bloop single in the fourth and a towering RBI triple to right that caromed off the wall in the fifth. Post 1’s pitching, meanwhile, was solid once again as Weston Sanders carried a no- hitter for 22/3 innings. Mean- while, Manning-Santee’s Con- nor Floyd walked four of his first eight batters. “You can’t give a team the caliber of Florence any additional base runners, and I think we had 14 or 15 walks, including hit by pitches, tonight,” said Manning head coach Spencer Jordan, whose team is 7-8 on the season.

pRO BASEBALL Phillies beat Braves behind 4 home runs

PHILADELPHIA — Maikel Franco homered for the third straight game, and the Phila- delphia Phillies hit four overall in a 5-1 victory over the At- lanta Braves on Tuesday night. Peter Bourjos, Cody Asche and Tommy Joseph all hit solo shots for the Phillies. Zach Eflin (1-2) struck out six and walked none in his first career complete game and first major-league win. Eflin, a first-round pick in the 2012 draft by the San Diego Pa- dres, needed just 2 hours, 8 minutes to win for the first time this season in five starts.

Don’t expect Ed Asner’s name to fade from casting lists anytime soon. With a variety of current and upcoming projects, the 86-year- old Asner remains as busy and versatile as ever. It’s a trend that follows a lifetime of dedication to his craft, playing bishops, doctors, judges, cops, cowboys, professors, villains and hundreds more film, television and stage characters, as well as voice roles. “When I came out to Holly- wood in 1961, I was determined not to be typecast,” said Asner from his office in Los Angeles. “My agent and I worked assid- uously ever since to make sure that never happened.” ASNER Nevertheless, Asner is still widely recognized as Lou Grant, the TV news director and newspaper editor, respectively, on “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” and its spinoff series “Lou Grant.” In fact, five of his seven Pri- metime Emmys were awarded for the character. PHOTOS PROVIDED But Asner also collected the award for Before restoration was begun, graves in the Coming Street Cemetery, its wall and other facets had fallen into disrepair, darker portrayals in “Rich Man, Poor Man” most likely because of weather, tree roots and vandalism. Restoration is continuing, and a new grant from Sumter’s in 1976 and, the following year, “Roots.” Home Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution will finance repairs to an architecturally and cul- Thirteen more Primetime and Daytime turally significant tomb in the 260-plus-year-old Jewish cemetery. Emmy nominations came his way, too. Yet he modestly brushes aside any reference to his hefty collection of the iconic gold-plated figures that feature a woman with pointed wings holding an atom (repre- senting the arts and sciences). “They’re distributed throughout the house,” Asner said of his statuettes. “Those DAR grant to fund prongs are really sharp. I just have to be sure I don’t sit on one.” Before arriving in Hollywood from his native Kansas City, young Ed found one of his first television jobs in the New York anthol- ogy drama series, “Studio One.” In 1957, he appeared in the episode “The Night Ameri- cemetery repairs ca Trembled,” a recreation of the reputed panic caused to some listeners by an Orson Welles’ radio broadcast of H.G.
