In-School Survey Probes Students
on Sensitive Subjects
By Dick Myers
Editor
This fall Calvert County public mid-
dle and high school students will be join-
ing their peers around the state in taking
a survey that asks some highly sensitive
questions. They include whether the stu-
dent has been the victim of sexual vio-
lence or bullying, has ever contemplated
or planned suicide, carried a weapon on
school property and whether they have
had sexual intercourse, including with
multiple partners and whether it was un-
protected. The high school survey asks
the student’s sexual orientation.
Questions are asked about cigarette
and marijuana smoking, alcohol con-
sumption and drug usage. There are also
a series of questions about nutrition, in-
cluding whether the student likes carrots.
The tests are a cooperative effort of the
Maryland Department of Health (MDH)
and the State Department of Educa-
tion (MDE). Known as the Youth Risk
Behavior Survey (YRBS), it started in
2000 measuring tobacco usage and then
expanded to other risk factors in 2005.
The Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) developed the core
questions of the survey and all 50 states
ask those questions in their various
student health surveys, predominately
through the YRBS (47 states).
The paper and pencil surveys utilize a
Scantron® type answer sheet to protect
student anonymity. According to Calvert
County Public Schools, all middle and
The Calvert County Times
high schools have partici-
pated in the surveys in re-
cent years (they are admin-
istered every other year),
and selected classrooms
in each school are asked
to participle. Parents may
opt out of the survey as can
students, but not schools or
school systems.
A fact sheet on the pro-
gram explains its pur-
pose: “The survey focuses
on risk behaviors among
youth that cause the most
important health problems
in Maryland. The data col-
lected are essential to both
the State Health Improve-
ment Plan (SHIP) and the
community health im-
provement plans being de-
veloped and implemented
in the counties and Balti-
more City.”
The fact sheet explains
why sensitive questions are
being asked: “AIDS, HIV
infection, and other sexu-
ally transmitted diseases
(STDs) are major health
problems. The only way to
learn if youth are at risk of getting AIDS
or other STDs is to ask questions about
these behaviors.
“Attempted suicide, tobacco use, alco-
hol and other drug use, and weapon car-
rying may also be sensitive topics. Ques-
tions are written in a direct but sensitive
way.
“Students are advised verbally and in
writing before starting the survey that
they do not need to answer any questions
that make them uncomfortable.”
The last test was conducted in 2016
and the results have recently been post-
ed on the MDH website. The informa-
tion for the stare and for the 23 counties
and Baltimore City consumes more than
2,500 pages. In the 2016 survey, 120
questions were asked of the high school-
ers and 90 to the middle schoolers.
Some of the questions are the same for
each level, although the questions about
sexual orientation are only asked of the
high schoolers, and middle schools are
asked questions about more age-specific
behavior such as bicycle safety.
According to the state, some of the
major state-wide trends between the
2014 and 2016 surveys are as follows:
1. High School Trends
• Increase in weapons brought on school
property (4.3% to 7.4%)
• Increase in students reporting feeling
sad or hopeless (26.8% to 29.9%)
• Increase in students seriously con-
sidering attempting suicide (15.9% to
17.3%)

to 9.0%)

56.9%)
• Decrease in TV screen time (26.7% to
22.1%)
• Increase in students who had obesity
(11.5% to 12.6%)
2. Middle School Trends
• Increase in students reporting riding
in a car with a driver who was drink-
ing (16.8% to 19.7%)
• Increase in students who were ever in
a physical fight (47.8% to 52.3%)
• Increase in students who seriously
thought about killing themselves
(17.6% to 21.3%)
• Decrease in smoking cigarettes (2.5%
to 1.3%)
• Increase in video game usage (37.4%
to 42.7%)

Too Close to Home
By Dick Myers
Editor
It has been
said that our
country has be-
come numb to
another shooting.
all the violence
-- another day,
I don’t think that’s the case, at least
not for me. But as I was driving home
last Thursday and scanning the radio
to find out more news about the Capi-
tal-Gazette shootings, and I heard the
reporter say that five people inside that
building had been killed, that news
slammed me.
I could easily intellectualize the
tragedy of a teacher being killed in a
school, someone there because he or
she loved what they were doing and
surely not for the paltry salary they
make They try to teach snotty-nosed
brats how to read or how to add and
subtract, only to be screamed at by
parents dissatisfied with their darling’s
grade. And there they are, just doing
that essential job for society and they
are summarily gunned down by a de-
ranged crazy.
I can surely intellectualize the trag-
edy of a policeman being killed just
doing his or her duty, protecting us
from those same crazies. Sure, they
know they have a dangerous job, but
when they get up in the morning, they
expect to come home at night to kiss
their wife and kids. When they don’t
everyone understands the tragedy of it.
But the old cliché goes, “Walk a mile
in my shoes.” Maybe it’s that most of
us, myself included, have never walked
that mile in a teacher’s shoes or a po-
liceman’s boots. That surely must be it.
Parents of course feel the pain of
another parent’s loss in a school shoot-
ing. Not having kids, I surely could
understand that loss the tragedy of un-
fulfilled dreams for the parent and the
child.
But this incident at the Capral Ga-
zette newspaper penetrated my emo-
tions. It was way too personal. I now
understand the pain of all too many
previous mass shootings.
I have been a reporter, writer or
editor almost all my adult life. I have
walked a mile in the shoes of Gerald
Fischman, Ron Hiassen, John McNa-
mara and Wendi Winters. I have been
around salespeople all my life, those
who have helped pay my salary. I have
walked a mile with them and Rebecca
Smith.
I decided in college that I wanted
to be in the news business and even
though I have strayed away from it on
occasion, it was never too far away, and
I always came back. I’ve always felt
there was a reason why our Founding
Fathers chose Freedom of the Press as

can’t help but observe that the Right to

Please don’t get me wrong. I don’t

think that reporters and editors are
better than teachers, policemen or

kids. It’s just that newspaper people
are family and I mourn the loss of five
of them and cry for their families as if Sunday July 8, 12pm-3pm
I was part of those families.
Annapolis is also part of the reason

would learn about what movies were
playing through our summertime sub-
scription to the Evening Capital. We Music provided by the Bushmill Band
would learn the tides in that same pa-
per, so we knew when to go crabbing.
True community journalism, in my
young mind’s definition of it.
Of all the tweets that came pouring
out in the aftermath of the shooting,
this one from editor Jimmy DeButts
hit this community journalist right in
the gut: “Please stop asking for infor-
mation/interviews. I’m in no position
to speak, just know capgaznews re-
porters & editors give all they have ev-
ery day. There are no 40-hour weeks,
no big paydays - just a passion for tell-
ing stories from our community.”
I pursued my news passion first in
radio and then later in newspapers. I
remember clearly my late mother call-
ing me one day and asking me if my
job was dangerous (I think she wanted
me to be an accountant like my father).
Her call was just after a quadruple
murder in St. Mary’s County that I
covered as a reporter. I told her that I
usually arrived on the scene after the
danger subsided.
If she was alive today, she would
have corrected me. She would have
told me that no workplace is safe and
in fact no place is safe. I would have
assured her that all we can do is con-
tinue to live our lives to the fullest,
perhaps being a little more cautious,
and pray to God that this insanity will
soon come to an end.

County Native
Serves with Navy
Half a World Away
A Prince Fredrick, Maryland, native
and 2012 Calvert High School is serving
in the U.S. Navy aboard the aircraft car-
rier USS Ronald Reagan.
 Petty Officer 3rd Class Connor Mack-
night is an electronics technician aboard
the aboard the aircraft carrier operating
out of Yokosuka, Japan.
Macknight is a maintenance program
coordinator for the command as well as
the program coordinator for the force,
protrudes from the rear of the aircraft.
 “There is a lot of pressure being de-
ployed here because of the attention that
is on us,” said Macknight. “Sometimes
I miss my family but there are reward-
ing benefits of being stationed here, like
living in Japan and experiencing this
culture.”
Macknight is also proud of when he
received a Navy and Marine Corps
Achievement Medal from the admiral
for his work on the ship’s air traffic con-
trol antenna equipment. When the ship’s
company enjoyed having time off in a
foreign port, he and a number of other
sailors stayed on the ship and fixed the
antenna. Being recognized and appreci-
ated for his efforts motivates him to keep
working hard.
Sailors’ jobs are highly varied aboard
the carrier. Approximately 3,200 men
and women make up the ship’s crew,
which keeps all parts of the aircraft car-
rier running smoothly -- this includes
everything from washing dishes and
preparing meals to handling weaponry
and maintaining the nuclear reactors.
Another 2,500 men and women form the The Arc Honors Outstanding
Volunteer of the Year, David
air wing responsible for flying and main-
taining more than 70 aircraft aboard the
ship.

which includes eight destroyers.
  Macknight is proud to serve in the
Pacific and fondly recalls memories of
Prince Fredrick.
  “I’ve learned how to respect people
from different backgrounds than me,”
said Macknight. “Everyone here on the
ship has different personality traits and
you have to learn to how to treat and
work with people who are different than
you.”  acy that will last beyond their lifetimes
Moments like that makes it worth
serving around the world ready at all
times to defend America’s interests. With
more than 50 percent of the world’s ship-
ping tonnage and a third of the world’s
crude oil passing through the region, the
United States has historic and enduring
interests in this part of the world.   The
Navy’s presence in Yokosuka is part
of that long-standing commitment, ex-
plained Navy officials.
 Named in honor of former President
Ronald Reagan, the carrier is longer than
three football fields, measuring nearly
1,100 feet.  The ship, a true floating city,
weighs more than 100,000 tons and has a
flight deck that is 252 feet wide. Two nu-
clear reactors can push the ship through
the water at more than 35 mph.
Powerful catapults slingshot the air-
craft off the bow of the ship. The planes
land aboard the carrier by snagging a
steel cable with an arresting hook that
Ronald Reagan, like each of the Na-
vy’s aircraft carriers, is designed for a
50-year service life. When the air wing
is embarked, the ship carries more than
70 attack jets, helicopters and other air-
craft, all of which take off from and land
aboard the carrier at sea.
As a member of one of the U.S. Navy’s
most relied-upon assets, Macknight and
other sailors know they are part of a leg-
providing the Navy the nation needs.
  “Since joining the Navy, I  have
learned something new every day,” said
Macknight. “I’m learning leadership
skills that I can use in the future.”
  Seventh Fleet, which is celebrating
its 75th year in 2018, spans more than
124 million square kilometers, stretch-
ing from the International Date Line to
the India/Pakistan border; and from the

arctic in the South. Seventh Fleet’s area
of operation encompasses 36 maritime
countries and 50 percent of the world’s
population with between 50-70 U.S.
ships and submarines, 140 aircraft, and
approximately 20,000 Sailors in the 7th

Each June, chapters of The Arc from
across Maryland gather at the organiza-
tion’s statewide convention to celebrate
the work of advocates and agencies
that support The Arc’s mission to cre-
ate opportunities and foster inclusion
of individuals with intellectual and de-
velopmental disabilities (I/DD). Each
chapter recognizes one special individ-
ual as their “Outstanding Volunteer of
the Year.” This year, The Arc Southern
Maryland selected David “Scott” Mel-
linger of Lusby, who was recognized at
the convention with an award and a Gov-
ernor’s citation.
“Volunteers, like Scott, are such an
important part of what we do here at The
Arc. Discovering someone that is willing
to generously contribute their time and
resources to our organization has been
a blessing,” said Terry Z. Long, CEO of
The Arc Southern Maryland “Despite
Scott’s busy schedule which keeps him
away from home nearly 250 days of the
year, Scott has contributed so much to
The Arc. It goes to show what a little bit
of time and a lot of heart can do.”
Scott has been a member of The Arc’s
Board of Directors for three years. The
board consists entirely of volunteers who
generously donate their time to support-
ing the organization. In his time on the
board, Scott has helped to foster a re-
lationship between The Arc Southern
Maryland and Dominion Energy. Do-
minion has since sponsored a number
of events and awarded a grant to The
Arc, which helped them purchase sup-
plies – such as flashlights, crank radios,
meals ready to eat (MREs), and water –
that would sustain each of The Arc’s 30
residential sites across Southern Mary-
land in the event of a weather-related
emergency.
In addition to volunteering his time
and fostering relationships for the orga-
nization, Scott often supports The Arc’s
events and makes generous contributions
himself. If that wasn’t enough, Scott even
has connected with Dominion Energy’s
donor matching program, which matches
their employees’ contributions to organi-
zations like The Arc, making double the
impact for their cause.
When asked about his experience as a
volunteer helping to support people with
diverse abilities, Scott replied in a hum-
ble and heartfelt tone, “I wish I could
do more. They deserve everything I can
give and more.”

Gov. Thomas Johnson Bridg
By Dick Myers and Guy Leonard
Editor and Staff Writer
In the late 1940’s, there were only
two places where slot machines were
legal in the country – Nevada and the
four southern Maryland counties of
Anne Arundel, Calvert, Charles and
St. Mary’s. Those counties had circum-
vented a state law banning them.
It could be argued that they were an
economic boom, bringing visitors to the
region, especially to the beach towns
along the Chesapeake Bay in the sum-
mer. But locally, residents gambled and
lost, and the winners were the few slot
machine owners.
The push to ban them began in So-
thern Maryland and they were made il-
legal by the legislature in 1963, with the
phase out to be completed in 1968.
The law that banned the slots prom-
ised to help Southern Maryland recover
economically. One of those promises
was a bridge crossing the Patuxent
River at Solomons, linking two of those
four slot machine counties.
The bridge was named after Mary-
land’s first governor Thomas Johnson.
Construction started in 1972 and it
opened to traffic on Dec. 17, 1977.
The bridge has lived up to its prom-
ise of economic prosperity. It opened
The Calvert County Times
up Solomons, which was a dead-end,
sleepy fishing village, into a world class
destination and yachting center. And, it
created economic dependence on both
sides of the river.
The current two-lane bridge has
along with the economic boost, at
times seemed like an albatross around
the neck of the Patuxent River, with it
subject to traffic jams at seemingly any
time.
The late, legendary Calvert County
politician, the Comptroller of the State
of Maryland Louis Goldstein, was a
proponent of the bridge. According to
his deputy at the time, Bobby Swann
of Solomons, Goldstein told the state
transportation secretary that a second
bridge was needed. That was just before
Goldstein died 20 years ago on July
3, 1998. After his death, the dual-lane
highway leading up to the bridge on the
Calvert County side was dedicated in
his honor.
That promise of a new bridge remains
to this day. It’s Southern Maryland’s
number one transportation priority
and has been for quite some time, yet
monies for construction have not been
budgeted and a start date is anyone’s
guess. has ended it doesn’t seem quite as bad.
With the bridge open, the influx of
workers from the Naval Air Systems
Command to Patuxent River Naval Air
Station from Northern Virginia and
Pennsylvania changed the dynamics of
the region. Needing places to live, many
found affordable housing in Chesa-
peake Ranch Estates and other southern
Calvert communities.
The heartbeat of the economy now
revolves around those daily commutes,
and that traffic in turn has a daily im-
pact on both sides of the river. Swann,
who became acting comptroller when
Goldstein died and later was interim
director of the Tri-County Council on
two occasions, told The County Times,
“Every time you add something to the
equation, you notice change.”
Example: Swann said when the traf-
fic light was added at Patuxent Parkway
between the bridge and the Route 4/235
intersection, everyone noticed traffic
backing up in evening rush hour on the
Calvert side. That back up to Dowell
Road was not an unusual occurrence
during morning rush hour.
Another theory about that evening
backup is that it was caused by a shift
change at the Dominion construction
site and those workers were living in St.
Mary’s County. Now that construction
Calvert County Commissioner Mike
Hart and Delegate Jerry Clark (District
Thursday, July 5, 2018
29-C) both own liquor stores in South-
ern Calvert. Hart defeated Clark for
commissioner four years ago and then
Clark was appointed delegate to replace
Tony O’Donnell, who was appointed to
the Maryland Public Service Commis-
sion. Both Hart and Clark are seeking
re-election in November.
The most recent change in the dy-
namics of the two sides of the river oc-
curred earlier this year with the open-
ing of the new St. Mary’s Market Place
and its Harris Teeter grocery store.
Hart’s liquor store sits right across
the parking lot from a Giant food store
in Lusby. Hart sad it looked to him
like the Harris Teeter might have had
a short-lived effect on the Lusby Giant,
although he believes the biggest impact
was probably on the Giant in California.
Hart said his business wasn’t affect-
ed. When asked if Calvert customers
working in St. Mary’s might not stop
at the Harris Teeter and the liquor store
next to it on their way home, to perhaps
avoid any bridge backup, he noted their
ice cream might melt if they got caught
in one of the bridge’s unpredictable
traffic jams.
It may not have affected business, but
it definitely has affected traffic on the
St. Mary’s side and based on Swann’s
theory about cause on one side effecting
 Thursday, July 5, 2018

the other side, a trickle down may hap-
pen to Calvert.
The road network around the shop-
ping center is still far from finished.
According to officials with the State
Highway Administration (SHA), which
is in concert with the developer, Klein
Enterprises, the problems could con-
tinue for several more months.
Charlie Gischlar, a spokesman for
SHA, said the developer would need to
apply for another extension by the end
of the summer to retain its access per-
mit to St. Andrews Church Road.
Gischlar said the road work on St.
Andrews Church Road is solely up to
the developer. Representatives from
Klein Enterprises, based in Baltimore,
did not return several calls for comment
on this article.
Meanwhile, two additional buildings
are under construction at the center and
appear close to being ready for opening.
A new Starbucks will be in one of the
buildings. Whether St. Mary’s County
will allow a Use and Occupancy permit
for those buildings before completion
of the road work is unknown.
Clark, although admitting he doesn’t
have all the facts, said it appeared to
him that the Harris Teeter should not
have been allowed to open until the
road work was complete.
The Calvert County Times
St. Mary’s County Commissioner
Todd Morgan, who chairs the Tri-
County Council, opined, “I think it’s a
true mess.” He added about the traffic
snarl. “The developer and SHA have
not worked in sync on this.”
Howard Thompson, chair of the
county’s planning commission, said the
developer has been behind in complet-
ing infrastructure and road improve-
ments since the project started, and yet
the project continued.
In an e-mail correspondence to an
SHA official on May 21 Thompson
wrote: “These two intersections are a
risk to motor vehicle traffic. The road-
way itself is in terrible condition, with
holes and ruts that are destructive to
small cars. The state and county have
the responsibility to make sure that
these improvements are in place. There
are many concerned citizens who go
way out of their way and cut through
neighborhoods, not normally used to
higher traffic, to get home safely in the
evening.”
A major shopping magnet so close to
southern Calvert cannot help but be a
draw to Calvert County residents and
thus could have an adverse impact on
southern Calvert businesses at a time
when Calvert is hoping to boost eco-
nomic development. The County Times
Costruction on Route 4 at the St. Mary’s Market Place entrance.
reached out to board members of the
Solomons Business Association for
comment but received no response.
There are other bridge issues that im-
pact both sides of the river. The bridge
was closed in 1988 for several months
for repairs, and maintenance is a regu-
lar occurrence. Clark said that work is
generally scheduled for nights and Sun-
day mornings, but traffic at those times
is impacted.
Many residents live on one side and
attend church on the other side and
their Sunday morning worship is often
affected by road work. For instance,
Shephard of the Bay Lutheran Church
in Lusby has fifty-percent of its mem-
bers living in St. Mary’s County.
“We are a 3-7 business,” Hart said of
his store’s capturing those bridge com-
muters on the way home from work. He
makes sure he doesn’t get caught on the
St. Mary’s side after 3.
Clark’s business is the same. His store
sits right across from the Calvert Coun-
ty side of the bridge. When there’s an
accident, suddenly store traffic comes
to a halt. If the delay is long, sometimes
his customers just decide they are run-
ning too late and go straight home after
finally making it over the bridge.
Clark suspects the construction of
the Route 235/4 interchange will occur
Feature 13
first followed by improvements on the
St. Mary’s side on Route 4, before the
bridge is actually constructed, when-
ever that will be.
The bridge isn’t just impacted by
what happens on the St. Mary’s side.
Whenever there are big events on the is-
land, such as the fireworks on Wednes-
day and concerts at Calvert Marine
Museum, traffic can become snarled
on the bridge. Last year after the Os-
borne Brothers concert in September at
the museum, a crash on the Calvert side
slowed traffic heading to St. Mary’s for
more than an hour.
“No one on this side of the river
goes over to the other side after 3 p.m.,”
Swann said, Of course the thousands
of people who work over there have no
choice.
Hart said some of his customers have
just given up and moved over the bridge
to be closer to work and so they don’t
have to fight it any more.
One thing is for sure, the beat of
both sides of the river will continue to
be controlled by that aging two-lane
bridge for many years to come.

CSM Alum Returns as
Hawks’ Soccer Coach
Jake Shelton has a long history with
men’s soccer at College of Southern Mary-
land, and now he is continuing that history
by taking on the role of the team’s head
coach.
The 2008 La Plata High School gradu-
ate played soccer as a CSM Hawk while
working in the college’s fitness center as a
certified personal trainer. When he gradu-
ated CSM, he transferred to Lake Erie
College, where he played on its soccer
team and was named captain for two years.
Michelle Ruble, CSM’s executive direc-
tor of student life and athletics, said the
college is looking forward to the benefits
such a seasoned player as Shelton will
bring to the team and his ability to share
his knowledge of both soccer and the mis-
sion of CSM to his players.
“Coach Shelton brings  expertise and
wonderful enthusiasm to grow our soccer
program, and I’m excited to see what he
does for us here at CSM,” Ruble said.
Shelton received his bachelor’s in busi-
ness administration—with a minor in fi-
nance—in 2013 from Lake Erie College,
after which he took the role of Graduate
Assistant Coach for the Men’s Soccer Pro-
gram there. Under his leadership, the team
appeared in the conference playoffs for the
first time in school history and reached the
conference final two years in a row.

Catfish are very active in Wicomico at

in the hefty two to twelve pound size.
The catfish are not limited to the Wic-

At the same time, he was playing and
coaching soccer—all while working as a
personal trainer and a loan officer for C&F
Mortgage, and then account manager with
the company VSGi.
Shelton said he is happy to be coming
back to CSM, where he knows he will be
able to create a strong culture of competi-
tive soccer. “My main vision is to develop
the players both physically and technically
so they can go on to compete on the field
and in the classroom,” he said.
The Hawks’ returning players have al-
ready begun their off-season work, with
conditioning and practice several days a
week. They will ramp up their efforts in
August, just before the season begins.
“We’ve already hit the ground running for
fall,” Shelton said.
Shelton said he wants to give back to
the CSM soccer program that gave him
his start in his collegiate career, where he
said he was able to develop as a person and
player. “I have a clear vision for where I
want to take this program and the players
who are a part of it. I am very excited to
see the success that will come to the CSM
Men’s Soccer Program,” he said.

Blue Crabs
Bitten by Bees
The Southern Maryland Blue Crabs
(25-34) fell in the series finale against
the New Britain Bees (31-29) 5-2.
The Blue Crabs got on the board early,
scoring a pair of runs in the second in-
ning. Angelo Songco reached on an error
as the leadoff man, moving up to second
on a single from Devon Rodriguez two
batters later. After a groundout moved
both runners to scoring position, Craig
Maddox came through with a two-out
single to score both and grab the early
lead.
The Bees battled back, getting one of
their own in the bottom half of the in-
ning off Drake Britton (3-4). Jason Rog-
ers walked to start the frame, moving
around to third on a single from Brock
Stassi. A walk to Matt Tuiasosopo load-
ed the bases for New Britain with still
nobody out in the inning. A sacrifice fly
from Jonathon Galvez scored Rogers, as
well as moving Stassi up to third. Britton
limited the damage in the inning by get-
ting back-to-back groundouts, escaping
with the 2-1 lead.
  After a scoreless third inning, the
Bees put up another run in the fourth to
tie the game. Tuiasosopo got the offense
going with a one-out double to put him-
self in scoring position. Galvez followed
that with a single to center, scoring Tuia-
sosopo from second to give Galvez his
second RBI on the night.
New Britain kept the offense going in
the next inning, adding two more to take
their first lead of the game. Darren Ford
led off the inning with a solo homerun,
his fifth of the season. Two batters lat-
er, Deibinson Romero doubled before a
walk to Stassi put two on with two outs.
After Britton was removed from the
game, Tuiasosopo singled off reliever
Jason Creasy, scoring Romero to take a
Sports 17
4-2 lead.
  Kyle Simon (4-4) settled in nicely
for New Britain on the mound after the
second inning. The right-hander allowed
just two hits over his final four innings,
exiting after six with the two-run lead.
He turned the advantage over to his bull-
pen, and the Blue Crabs immediately
mounted a threat in the seventh.
Josh Outman was first out of the pen
for New Britain, retiring the first batter
he faced. Austin Green followed with
a single, before Outman walked Craig
Maddox to put the tying run on base.
Outman was removed in favor of Sam
Gervacio, who struck out back-to-back
batters to finish the inning and maintain
the 4-2 lead.
The Bees offense added another in the
seventh, pushing their lead out to three
runs. Reid Brignac started the inning
with a double, before a groundout picked
up the first out in the inning. Rogers sin-
gled behind that, scoring Brignac to grab
a 5-2 lead.
A pair of walks put two on in the top
of the eighth for Southern Maryland, but
both runners were stranded by reliever
Adam Loewen. The Bees then turned
things over to closer Evan Scribner (S,9)
in the ninth, looking to take the series
win. Scribner allowed a leadoff single,
but picked up a groundout and a dou-
ble play to finish the 5-2 win for New
Britain.
