The St. Marys Lincolns jumped out to a lead and took a win at Memorial Arena last night, winning 6-2 over the Chatham Maroons. The win forces a seventh and deciding game Tuesday in St. Marys.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2025 was announced last night on American Idol. There are 13 inductees.
In the Performers category we have: Bad Company, Chubby Checker, Joe Cocker, Cyndi Lauper, Outkast, Soundgarden and The White Stripes.
Salt-N-Pepa and Warren Zevon will be inducted in the Musical Influence category.
Despite winning the fan vote last week, with 330,000 votes, Phish did not get named to the Hall. This is just the second time that the winner of the fan vote didn’t make it in. Previously, it was the Dave Matthews Band in 2020. But they finally got in last year.
The 2025 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction will be held November 8th, 2025 in Los Angeles. Like last year, Disney+ will livestream the entire ceremony.
