Lightner umpire fills late start in Brunswick Martinsburg game
Slants from the Sports Desk report Earl Lightner, long a Frederick High School regular with his brother Bill, served as plate umpire in a delayed Little League game between Brunswick and Martinsburg. Rain halted play for about 30 minutes before the game resumed, with Lightner moving to third base as the plate umpire remained behind the plate. The Brunswick squad overcame wet field conditions to finish the contest. Frederick Legion baseball remains in contention after yesterday’s win, with no team eliminated yet. Charlie Keller leads the Northern League RBI race at 54, tied with Cal Ripken Jr.’s farm system status, while Donald Lightner helps as the brother team’s bats stay hot.
