The 11-12-Year-Old Summer League Knights defeated the St. A’s summer team by a final of 3-1. This was one of the strangest games that we have seen in recent weeks, as there was only one hit allowed in the entire game.

The difference came in the fifth inning, when Joseph Buttaro came up for the Knights and was hit by a pitch. The next batter, Nick Tarallo, was also hit by a pitch. Then John Castiglione walked and Ralph Fasano walked to score Buttaro. read more »

Piers Morgan, Sharon Osborne and Howie Mandel of “America’s Got Talent” were not in attendance, but no judges were needed at St. Bernadette School’s annual talent show, held Friday, Feb. 17, and Saturday, Feb. 18. Every act was a winner!
