Collegiate All-Star Game Ends in Tie; Sprint Tri Attracts 400+

Saturday’s Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League’s all-star game, played at Sag Harbor’s Mashashimuet Park, the summer home of the Sag Harbor Whalers, ended, for the first time in its 10-year history, in a tie, at 9-9. Sunday’s sprint triathlon to the Montauk Lighthouse, an event that attracted a field of 447, was won by last year’s runner-up, Matthew Raske, in 1 hour, 6 minutes, and 25 seconds.

Flash Floods Swamp Parched South Fork

Abandoned cars, flooded basements, muddy pools, sodden festivals, panicked antiques dealers — those were the scenes on Sunday as the flooding that has overwhelmed parts of New York State’s Hudson Valley, Vermont, and many other parts of the world was visited on a South Fork packed with summer visitors. The East Hampton Town Highway Department estimated that nearly seven inches of rain fell over a sustained period of perhaps unprecedented intensity, while the Suffolk County Water Authority cited a rain gauge in Sag Harbor that put the rain total at 2.67 inches.
