Village sports update

* Linglestown's sandlot baseball club grabbed a commanding two games to none lead over the weekend in its best-of-five semifinal series against Lawnton. They won 9-8 Saturday at Koons Park by scoring two runs in the final inning. Sunday's game at Lawnton ended in an 8-8 tie, according to a box score in today's The Patriot-News. (I'm not sure how a playoff game can end in a tie.) The series resumes tonight in Lawnton at 6 pm.

* Fall must be fast approaching based on Linglestown midget football team starting practice sessions tonight at Koons Park.

* Linglestown's all-star midget baseball team continues play tonight against Camp Hill in the Haps Boyer Central Penn Tournament.
