BY JIM SARKISIAN SPORTS CORRESPONDENT AUBURN — Junior Tyler Desjardins went 2-for-2 with a home run and classmate Mike Vaitkunas hurled a complete game to help the Auburn baseball team come from behind to defeat Nipmuc, 4-3, on May 9. The Warriors (8-7) led off the game with back-to-back doubles by senior teammates Tom Paine and Chris Gormley. Paine scored on Gormley’s double to right-center and sen- ior Brian St. Germain grounded out to short- stop to score Gormely,giving Nipmuc an early 2-0 lead. The Rockets (13-3) were able to cut the deficit to 2-1 in the bottom of the first inning as Desjardins scored on a sacrifice fly by jun- ior Zach Clifford. Desjardins began the frame with a double to left field before moving to third on a wild pitch. In the bottom of the third inning, Desjardins continued to swing the hot bat as he belted a two-run homer over the centerfield wall to give Auburn a 3-2 lead.

To those who knew him, Beane was a gen- uine, one-of-a-kind man who loved broadcast- ing and sports, especially the Red Sox, enjoyed making people laugh and cared about others. “He was part of my family.I’ve got one less member of my family now,” said John D. Ryan, a former Southbridge Evening News editor who worked with Beane at WESO-AM 970 in Southbridge. Beane, a resident of Holland and former News columnist, suffered a heart attack Wednesday,May 9, while driving northbound on Holland Road in Sturbridge.

BY KEITH GRIFFIN

As I write this I am sitting in Las Vegas on a media program for the Scion FR-S. The reason I mention that is I was brought from the airport with another journalist in a Lincoln Town Car. I bring this this because I asked the driver, “What are you going to do when the Lincoln Town Car goes away?” (It has ceased production.) He didn’t have an answer but I think I do: the 2013 Ford Flex. I’m sure that’s going to make the proud designers of the Flex shudder. After all, they don’t build cars for people to be driven in; they build cars to be driven. But I consider it a high compliment. The 2013 Ford Flex is a near-perfect family vehicle that could also double as an executive car or a small airport shuttle. (Hmm, maybe if this journal- ism thing doesn’t work out I could open an airport shuttle.) The seven-passenger, three-row crossover – which debuted last fall at the Los Angeles Auto Show – comes equipped with the new generation of MyFord Touch, industry-exclusive rear inflatable belts, collision-avoid- ance technologies, rain-sensing wipers, keyless entry, first-row heated and cooled seats, power-fold mirrors and an optional new Appearance The 2013 Ford Flex gets a new front end and other styling updates but where it really continues to hit a home run is in its interior that is stylish, comfortable and Package.
