Bernhard smashed a solo home run into right field in the eighth that appeared to wrap up the game for the Crimson. But Dorwart tired in the ninth and allowed the tieing run to score on singles by the Terriers' Bob Leverone, Greg Stone, and Tim Masick...
...about all anyone could like about 1776, which is sort of an extra-large Hallmark Hall of Fame littered with a few drab songs and some jokes Ben Franklin tells about Thomas Jefferson's six life. Really, the best that can be said about this musical (written by Peter Stone) is that the flag-waving is kept to a minimum and the cast is, sometimes, inoffensive.

As long as he can remember, Enderby, 65, has been worshiping at St. Leonard's Church, a weathered, three-century-old stone building. Enderby has also been the parish's diligent churchwarden for more than two decades. Rising at dawn, he arrives at St. Leonard's shortly before 8 o'clock holy communion, tolls the ancient bell, carefully lights the altar candles, and then drops his usual small offering into the collection...
