NECBL All-Star Game Cut Short by Rain| 10:12PM / Sunday, July 28, 2019 | |
 MONTPELIER, Vt. -- It was a short but productive trip for the North Adams SteepleCats Sunday at the New England Collegiate Baseball League All-Star Game. The contest was rained out in the third inning with the Northern Division All-Stars leading, 1-0. Nicholas Payero had a big hand in keeping the Southern stars down, retiring the side in order in the first as the SteepleCat earned the start in the late-season classic. Hoosac Valley graduate Matt Koperniak went 1-for-2 at the plate with a single in his first at-bat, and North Adams' Scout Knotts had a productive out, driving a deep fly ball to center field to move a runner in the first.

04:47PM / Friday, July 26, 2019 | |

The same will apply to this coming week with all eyes intently focused on the July 31 meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee taking place next Wednesday. Investors expect the Fed to cut the Fed Funds interest rate by at least one quarter percent. Let's hope they do. In the meantime, aside from earnings announcements, investors were confronted with some bad news out of 0 Comments
