Groundworks Landscaping and the Clubhouse won East Hampton Town women’s and men’s slow-pitch softball playoff trophies, thanks largely, in the women’s case, to Emma Beudert’s high-arc backspun lobs, and, in the Clubhouse’s case, to some solid slugging last Thursday night.

The East Hampton and Shelter Island High School boys and girls cross-country teams turned out for the 42nd running of the Great Bonac 5 and 10Ks at the Springs Firehouse Monday, and, predictably, the 5K’s top 20 largely comprised those teams’ members, who have been running all summer.

Frank Ackley of Springs continued to climb the ladder in his United States Tennis Association age group by reaching the semifinal round of the U.S.T.A.’s national Level 1 grass court championships at the Philadelphia Cricket Club recently.
