• Legion juniors win — At Kokomo, Austin Hicks pitched a four-hitter and the Wayne Newton Post 346 junior American Legion team defeated Newburgh Post 44 3-2 Thursday night at the Indiana state finals.

Nick Long hit a leadoff double, Jonathan Eilbracht singled, Lane Dransfield was hit by a pitch and Greg Hannum had a two-run single for the go-ahead runs.
Post 346 was flawless defensively the rest of the way, turning pair of double plays, and returns to action this morning.

Luck having fun with his first OTAs
A year ago, quarterback Andrew Luck was unable to attend the Indianapolis Colts’ organized team activity practices due to school commitments at Stanford.
Luck, though, went on to have a stellar year for the Colts despite the lack of summer work with the team. Still, in a sense, he is a rookie during this year’s OTA workouts.
“These are my first OTAs. I missed these last year, so I think it’s great. It’s great to get on the field with the defense and trouble-shoot some stuff. Obviously, some of us ran some of this stuff [offense] at Stanford [under new offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton]. But to get out there with the defense and trouble-shoot some stuff is good,” Luck said Wednesday as the team wrapped up its first week of on-field voluntary practice sessions. -
