All eyes are on home plate as Wareham’s Orlando Guadalupe (21) slides under the tag of Westfield Post 124 pitcher David Tirrell (8) in an American Legion Baseball state tournament elmination game Monday night. (Photo by Chris Putz) Lights out By Chris Putz Staff Writer NORTH ATTLEBOROUGH – A power surge zapped the last remaining ounce of energy from Westfield Post 124’s Junior Legion baseball team. Wareham launched two home runs and exploded for 19 runs in two innings to defeat Westfield 19-2 in a mercy- shortened American Legion Baseball state tournament elimination game Monday night at Community Field in North Attleborough. Wareham came out slugging from the outset. An Orlando Guadalupe RBI double in the bottom of the first inning was just the start of the offensive onslaught. A run-scoring error followed. Consecutive RBI singles from Bryson Uhlman and Thomas Coucci, and a sac-RBI made it 5-0. Then, Brendan DaSilva blasted a two-run homer. Guadalupe’s RBI single gave Wareham a stunning 8-0 advan- tage. Westfield went to the bullpen early, turning to hard throwing righty Brian Strange. Strange retired three of the four batters he faced, forcing a fly out and ground out, and striking out a batter while walking one in the second inning. In the third inning, facing Westfield’s third pitcher of the game, Wareham poured it on. Wareham loaded the bases in the third by reaching on an error and two straight walks. A bases-loaded walk renewed the scoring barrage. Coucci delivered a two- run single.

DADDY’S HOME Tony Rubino and Gary Markstein YOUR Contract Bridge HOROSCOPE By Jaqueline Bigar

HAPPY BIRTHDAY for Tuesday, July 31, 2018: This year your imagination and creativity seem to have no limits. You can go on and on while allowing your mind to just drift from one subject to another. Work on being more realistic. If you are single, you could attract a very intelligent person who helps you open up even more. Be careful not to DUSTIN By Steve Kelley and Jeff Parker put this person on a pedestal, as he or she is likely to fall off. If you are attached, the two of you will take a mutual dream and make the adjustments necessary to make it a real- ity. You might need to wait a year or so to see this project through. PISCES often inspires you. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHH You admire self-discipline and, for the most part, you exhibit that same trait. Today is a different story. Your mind floats SCARY GARY Mark Buford to topics you might choose not to discuss. In your head, you could be criticizing your responses too harshly. Tonight: Choose a favorite stress-buster. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Somewhere in your mind lies a special desire to contact a friend who lives far away. Clearly, the feeling is mutual. You even might decide to meet each other half- way. Your visit together will be long remembered by both of you. Tonight: Remember, life is for living. Crosswords GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHH You can spare only so much time to DOGS of C-KENNEL Mick and Mason Mastroianni indulge anyone in a conversation. The art of saying “no” becomes more and more pres- ent in your professional life. A close loved one might not be happy with your new abil- ity to distance yourself. Tonight: Happy wherever you can be found. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHHH Give up being as emotional as you are. On the other hand, make it OK to fall into a reverie. Your mind keeps drifting to a certain person or place. What are you going to do? A bright and creative pal might have some intriguing suggestions. Tonight: Let your mind wander. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHHH As strong a sign as you may be, B.C. Mastroianni and Hart a new passion seems to be able to dominate your mind, heart and/or time. Your focus remains intense; others miss you. A card or gift from someone feeling somewhat dejected needs to be embraced. Tonight: How about an old-fashioned date? VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHHH Others come toward you. Before you can make a recommendation or follow through on your ideas for a perfect date night, someone else steps forward with his or her suggestions. Many people are delighted by what they hear. Tonight: Head home and respond to a loved one’s cues. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH You are gracious and willing to ONE BIG HAPPY Rick Detorie do what is needed. Do not cut off a conver- sation or let someone feel insecure when interacting with him or her. Honor your needs, but be smart and do not forget a loved one’s needs, either. Tonight: Get oth- ers into the mood of the moment. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHHH Others have a lot on their minds, and they might refuse to pull back in order to see the big picture. You are likely to find that dealing with their expansive moods and desires could be difficult for you. Incorporate more one-on-one time into your day. Tonight: Cozy at home. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHH You might be inordinately ANDY CAPP Mahoney, Goldsmith and Garnett grumpy or tense right now. If you slow down a bit and take a deep breath, you will feel much better. You need to detach from a problematic situation before you can make any valid decisions. Ask questions, if need be. Tonight: Head to your ivory tower. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HHHH You might be shy at times, but you are not hesitant. You need to stay clear, detached and upbeat when making a deci- sion. Be open to others’ suggestions. Cryptoquip Someone could surprise you with a concept that otherwise would never have entered your mind. Tonight: Among the crowds. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHH If you feel unsure about your finan- ZACK HILL John Deering and John Newcombe cial situation, understand that it might be occurring in order to alert you to be more conscientious with your funds. Sometimes you are whimsical and unpredictable. Indulge your need to take risks in a different way. Tonight: Your treat. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH You have entered a period in which all eyes turn to you. You can handle some adoration, compliments and being fussed over. However, learning to be the center of several people’s universe can be exhausting! Take a break here and there. Tonight: Ask for a friend’s feedback.
