Local powerlifters prevail at state meet
The New Boston Lions scored three times in their half of the 1st inning and that was all they would need as they coasted to a 12-1 win over the Paul Pewitt Brahmas on Friday. The Lions got yet another stellar pitching performance from hurler Connor Bobbitt, who allowed just one run on four hits and struck out seven in his four-plus innings of work on the mound.
