Middletown Girls Basketball Fans Question Ticket Support
Jerry Nardiello notes historically strong Middies crowds in Columbus, but Middletown fans fell short for the girls state tournament. Ed Payne sold 93 Friday and 103 Saturday tickets at St John Arena, with others also buying. Coach Barbara Hartman and supporters cite weather, school shutdowns, and Title IX as factors, while Struthers drew larger crowds. OHSAA TV coverage and perceived inequality are discussed as possible influences on attendance.

Yankees accused of stadium ripoff in Senate clash
Senator William Proxmire accuses the New York Yankees of a stadium rent giveaway as part of a broader attack on their bargain power. He says the lease lets the team deduct maintenance costs and pays under $150,000 for a world championship season, seeking higher city and federal scrutiny before June 30.

Reds in Ohio for final spring tuneup before opener
The Cincinnati Reds move to Ohio for a final spring tuneup at Franklin County Stadium in Columbus. Detroit rode a late seventh inning rally led by Tim Corcoran and Jason Thompson to defeat the Reds 4 3, as Jim Slaton earned the win. Freddie Norman pitched six innings before Doug Capilla relieved, with Norman’s screwball helping his out pitch as Sparky Anderson notes. The Reds finish their Florida-leaning spring with 12 losses in 25 games and prepare for Thursday’s season opener against Houston at Riverfront Stadium.
