THURSDAY. AUGUST 25. 2022 PICKENS COUNTY PROGRESS PAGE 5B CONTINUED Minister’s Comer mocrat, nor Republican. Nei ther black, nor white, His panic, Asian, or Indian. Neither rich nor poor ... we are all brothers in this fellow ship.” In his sermon, I mean re marks, Governor Barnes voiced another call to unity stating, “Our trust is in God, Faith in our Brothers, and the charity given to all hu mankind is all that matters ... the world should look at us to see how to act for the benefit of all humankind.” Amen Brother Roy. Humankind has been stiff necked for a long time as noted by Exodus 32:9: “I have seen these people, the Lord said to Moses, and they are stiff-necked people.” The Lord was responding to the people who had been deliv ered from slavery whom were now making a golden calf to worship ... not the God who had delivered them. Will you join me in trying to UN-STIFF your neck? In politics? Racial matters? Name calling and anything that does not promote an out stretched hand and heart of peace? It took the Masons of Georgia 92 years, three months and 18 days to un- stiff their necks .... may we work much faster.

There’s really nowhere else to play him unless... Remember though. Dansby Swanson’s contact expires at the end of this season. News broke about contract talks between his agent and the club within hours of Grissom’s arrival. The kid’s presence could drive the veteran shortstop towards a team friendly deal to remain in Atlanta. If not, there’s no need to look elsewhere for a replacement. These contributions by the aforemen tioned rookies have tndy kept the Braves in the division race. Their futures look so bright that it’s blinding but this newest kid, Grissom may actually be the best of the bunch.

Ferrell notched his 20th victory during Cleveland’s 11-5 win over the Washington Senators. He even scored a run in the second inning and tacked on an RBI in the ninth. Ferrell won 21 games with the Indians in 1929, 25 more in 1930, another 22 in 1931 and completed the ‘32 campaign with 23. He went on to add two more 20-win seasons with the Boston Red Sox in 1935 and 1936. August 22nd: On this day in 1989, Texas Rangers pitcher, Nolan Ryan, collected his 5,000th strikeout when he farmed Oakland Athletics left fielder, Rickey Henderson. Ryan com pleted the night with 13 strikeouts while al lowing five hits and two baserunners. Despite this performance, the A’s blanked the Rangers, 2-0. August 23rd: On this day in 1947, the very first Little League World Series title game took place in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. It ended with the Maynard League All-Stars defeating Lock Haven in a 16-7 rout. The Maynard squad also racked up tournament victories over Jer sey Shore, the Brandon League and New berry. Jack Losch, who was a member of that championship team, went on to play college football at the University of Miami. Losch was drafted by the Green Bay Packers in 1956, becoming the first LLWS participant to compete as a pro athlete. August 24th: On this day in 2006, Jerry Rice officially retired from the National Football League after signing a one-day contract with the San Francisco 49ers. Rice suited up for the Niners from his rookie season in 1985 all the way until 2000. He then spent three and a half sea sons with the Oakland Raiders before joining the Seattle Seahawks midway through the 2004 campaign. Rice still holds the all-time NFL records for receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns. He also earned three Super Bowl rings and was named the Most Valuable Player of Super Bowl XXIII. Rice became a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2010. August 25th: On this day in 1952, Detroit Tigers pitcher, Virgil Trucks, became the third hurler in major league history to record two no-hit ters in the same season. Trucks was also the only pitcher in club history to have a pair of no-hit outings during the same year and both were 1-0 shutouts. His first came against the Washington Senators on May 15th. This one took place against the New York Yankees, where Trucks faced 30 batters, allowed one baserunner and posted eight strikeouts. August 26th: On this day in 1962, Jack Kralick became the first pitcher to have a no-hitter in a Min nesota Twins uniform. Kralick retired the first 25 batters he faced while logging three strike outs. A ninth inning walk separated him from a perfect game as the Twins blanked the Kansas City Athletics, 1-0. August 27th: On this day in 1911, Ed Walsh became the third pitcher in Chicago White Sox franchise history to throw a no-hitter, joining Nixey Callahan and Frank Smith. Walsh’s achieve ment came during Chicago’s 5-0 blanking of the Boston Red Sox. He faced 28 batters, al lowed one baserunner and notched eight strikeouts. Continued From Sports Page Race Report race. The rest of the stage went caution free and Logano held off Kyle Busch, who was staying close be hind for the lead the whole stage, to win Stage 2. During the stage break, Logano, Busch and other drivers pit ted and the lead was given back to McDowell. Stage 3 officially started on lap 45, and on the same lap, the 1st caution for incident came out. Chastain got into the side of Austin Dillon in the bus stop portion of the track, which caused Dillon to spin out and caused Finnish mo- torsports driver making his first ever Cup series start, Kimi Raikkonen, to hit the outside tire barrier. The race restarted on lap 48 and El liott took the lead from Mc Dowell a lap later. He would continue to lead until green flag pit stops started to hap pen but would still end up back in the lead on lap 72. The 4th caution of the race happened on lap 79 when Joey Hand spun into the tire barrier in turn 1. The race restarted with nine to go in the race and the last caution of the race flew with seven to go for Hezemans spinning into the gravel and getting stuck in the gravel. On the last restart, Larson, restarting next to Elliott on the front row, locked the brakes up going into turn 1 and moved Elliott out of the way for the lead and went on to win at Watkins Glen. As for the race, this was another very solid Watkins Glen race and road course race this season. Stage 1 was amazing because the drivers were racing in wet condi tions and on rain tires since NASCAR rides allow the drivers to race in wet condi tions on road courses. This led to many battles and passes for position since the track being wet made it more of a challenge for the drivers to race the racetrack. Stage 2 and Stage 3 weren’t as good since the track was drying up and the drivers weren’t on rain tires anymore. But there was still great racing all throughout the remainder of the race with a very exciting finish. So all in all, it was an other race at The Glen worth remembering. Next week, NASCAR will be heading back to Day tona International Speedway for the last race of the regu lar season before the play offs officially start one week later at Darlington. There have still been 15 different winners this season, but the fact Daytona is a super speedway there is a good possibility we will have an other first-time winner this season, making the playoff field be completely full of drivers that have won this season.
