Boulders Blank Jackals, 4-0

by

The New York Boulders took on the New Jersey Jackals at Clover Stadium in Pomona yesterday for a rain-postponed makeup game. The Boulders had a 4-0 lead in the 8th inning, but left fielder Steve Barmakian, who ended the night a home run shy of the cycle, was looking to spark the Boulders into scoring more…

And that was Marc Ernay with the call on the Boulders Broadcast Network. The Boulders couldn’t score after that hit, but they would go on to win, 4-0, allowing only four Jackals hits. The Boulders are in second place tied with the Ottawa Titans, both are 9 1/2 games behind the Eastern Division-leading Quebec Capitales. The Boulders begin a critical three-game series against the Titans tonight at Clover Stadium in Pomona at 7pm. You can hear all the action right here on WRCR AM1700 and WRCR.com.

Rockland Legislature Unanimously Passes Gun Labeling Law

by

A new Rockland County law will warn gun buyers of the potential dangers of purchasing firearms. The county legislature unanimously passed the law requiring signs to be posted wherever firearms are sold in Rockland. The signs warn that access to guns in the home significantly increases the risk of suicide, homicide, and death during domestic disputes, and the risk of accidental deaths of children and others. The bill’s sponsor, legislator Beth Davidson of District 10 in Clarkstown, says each shop will be required to have to post two signs…

The labels will include contact information for the National Suicide Hotline. The Center for Gun Violence at the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health says 48,117 people died by firearms in 2022, an average of one death every 11 minutes. Around 27,000 of them died by suicide, nearly 20,000 died by homicide, and 472 were accidents. In June, U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy issued a warning declaring firearm violence in America to be a public health crisis.
