Recently here, the East Hampton Middle School baseball team enjoyed an undefeated season, the youth lacrosse program continued to have success, and, in Little League play, two no-hitters were pitched.

The Shelter Island 10K, in its 44th year, and the Beacon of Hope 5K in Montauk, in its second, are to be contested on Saturday. Runners could double-dip if they wanted to.
