Mt Anthony Union High School Patriots under coach John McShane won the Vermont Class L baseball state championship at Mac Leay Field, defeating Burlington 7 to 5. Rick Bartholdi delivered crucial relief, hurling two decisive innings after entering with the game tied in the fifth, capping a season that saw Mt Anthony extend a 16 game win streak and complete an undefeated run aside from the rifle team. The Patriots overcame an early 5-4 deficit, with Greg Croft and Russ Christie setting the table early and Burlington’s Orrie Jay’s Seahorses proving a strong foe throughout the long season.

Boston Stadium Plan Faces Legislature For New Deal
A bold Boston stadium proposal aims to satisfy NFL needs by 1969 with a land lease plan instead of bonds. Sen. James A. Kelly pushes a $250,000 feasibility study and site purchase option, detailing a 30-year lease to a developer, with MBTA rail access and no state credit pledge. The measure seeks a simple majority in both chambers to pass.
