PLYMOUTH — The woes of the big inning continued to haunt Plymouth’s Pilgrims Monday night as they dropped an NLC battle with Northridge by a 9-5 final.
The Pilgrims battled back after a two-run Northridge first to take a 4-2 lead on a three-run Bailey Clark homer in the Plymouth half of the inning. Plymouth added another in the third on a Clark sac fly to make it 5-3.
Then the bottom fell out.
PLYMOUTH — A Plymouth volleyball alum will be reunited with her former coach at Ancilla next season.
Amber Redinger, a four-year varsity player in both volleyball and basketball, recently inked on to play volleyball with the Lady Chargers beginning next season, where she’ll have a chance to play for former PHS head volleyball coach and current Ancilla assistant coach Walt Pickerell once more.
KNOX — John Glenn traveled to Knox Monday night and dismantled the Redskins in five innings by a 10-0 score.
Glenn’s Justin Gierlowski threw his second no-hitter of the season and recorded his third double-digit strikeout game with 10 ks. With his offspeed pitches setting up his fastball, Gierlowski controlled the game. But it was a one-out walk to Knox’s Scott Trojan in the fifth that ruined his perfect game.

PLYMOUTH - Officers from the Marshall County Sheriff's Department, Argos

At approximately 11:40 p.m. officers responded to a residence on 11A Road in Plymouth. The Officers had been sent there to perform a welfare
check on a possible suicidal male subject. The male subject was reported to have contacted a suicide hotline and expressed a desire to harm himself.
MARSHALL COUNTY - Farmers across the county are anxious to get back in their fields and that means farm equipment traveling county roads to get back to those fields.
The Marshall County Sheriff's Department and the Marshall County Farm Bureau want motorists to remember to be on the lookout for slow moving vehicles, marked with the orange triangular signs. Vehicles marked with an SMV sign are traveling 25 miles per hour or slower.
PLYMOUTH - The PTO at Jefferson Elementary in Plymouth has hit on a good way to tackle two problems with one solution.
Raising money for school programs is always important and PTO's have used many different methods over the years to help their particular school. More and more people are becoming aware of childhood obesity in
the United States and the need for young people to exercise regularly.
At Jefferson they tackled both this week as the PTO sponsored their Jog For Jefferson program.
PLYMOUTH — One gets the feeling that hanging out with the Angels in Red women of the Red Hat Society is always a party. This Thursday, however,
the group of about 30 women had all the more reason to whoop it up.
Thursday was the 15th anniversary of the group’s founding. In honor of that milestone, the local chapter, which is based in Knox, Ind. marked the occasion in a very official way. Plymouth Mayor Mark Senter read a citation and Governor Pence issued a proclamation to commemorate the event.
