Penn State sophomore Tommy McDonagh, 19, of the Shorehaven Golf Club in Norwalk, Conn., won the title for the second time in three years, defeating Joe Saladino of Huntington Country Club, 6 and 5, on the 31st hole of the 36-hole final match. http://www2.timesreview.com/ST/stories/T081408_GMSL_CA Founders Tavern has a trait that all good teams have. As it has done so often this season, Founders Tavern followed a bad loss in the Greenport Men's Softball League with a big win. This time, Founders Tavern beat front-running Marcello Masonry, 24-6, on Friday night at the Polo Grounds. The Founders Tavern player/manager, Jon Schlachter, called it "a huge win for us." http://www2.timesreview.com/ST/stories/T081408_BRIEFS_BL CHAMPION HITMEN FINISH 26-1 The All-League Hitmen 16-and-under team won a National Junior Baseball League championship by sweeping two games from Farmingdale on Sunday, 6-5 and 2-0. Darrin Standish's two-run homer in the bottom of the sixth inning, his third hit of the game, won the first game for the Hitmen, who finished the summer with a 26-1 record. Rob Clausen and Dimitri Rauseo both homered in the second game. http://www2.timesreview.com/ST/stories/T081408_FISHING_MG Phil Loria at Captain Marty's Fishing Station in New Suffolk said he was seeing "nothing but porgies" over the past weekend. Fish were concentrated near Buoy 26 east of Robins Island, and sizes were "hard to believe" for August. Among the typical medium scup were some jumbos of 15 inches. Buoy 18 was a good spot as well. Actually a weakfish and a bluefish were mentioned in by-catches at the station during the past week. http://www2.timesreview.com/ST/stories/T081408_GBBASKET_BL FARMINGVILLE--Never underestimate the impact of a healthy dose of confidence, not to mention the aid of a well-meaning cousin. Both have worked wonders for Dantré Langhorne, whose basketball game for the Greenport Porters has noticeably matured over the past year. Of course, two years of varsity experience, a trip to the New York State Class D final four, and playing against older players in the park also have helped the sophomore. http://www2.timesreview.com/ST/stories/T081408_NFWSL_CA It was the kind of stirring comeback she was looking for. As G&C Petroleum got ready to come to bat in the top of the seventh inning on Friday night, it was trailing Fitness Advantage by 11-5 in the North Fork Women's Softball League game at Robert W. Tasker Park. G&C Manager Kerry Tooker had one request of her team: score seven runs. http://www2.timesreview.com/ST/stories/T0814_AUTO_BL RIVERHEAD--The 2008 NASCAR Whelen All-American Series at Riverhead Raceway has been one of ups and downs for former champion Chuck Steuer of Bohemia. This Saturday was definitely one of his ups. Steuer won a 35-lap main event for his 15th career victory in the modified class. http://www2.timesreview.com/ST/stories/T081408_CORRECTIONS_BL A headline appearing above a story about the Empire State Games in last week's edition incorrectly stated that the Long Island scholastic men's basketball team won silver medals. It won bronze. Last week's story about beach volleyball player Geoff Penny contained an inaccurate reference to Di Angela Leather's first North Side-Out Beach Volleyball League championship. Howie Brodis Insurance won the league's inaugural title four years ago, one year before Di Angela Leather won its first league championship.
