EXTRA! EXTRA! Group of Beaver County Residents Take Advantage of Pirates "Buck Night"!

Wednesday Night, the Pirates had a special "Buck Night" - Tickets and hot dogs for a dollar each!

The group, which was mostly members of Ignite with friends and relatives invited along, enjoyed a clear day of aimiable weather as the Pirates and LA Dodgers fought out a close game in which Garret Jones hit a three-run homer before the Bucs went eight innings without another score. The game eventually went into an extra inning before Bobby Cedeno pulled off the base hit to send the fourth and game-winning run into home plate. After tonight's win, the Bucs are now 2-0 (They beat the Dodgers on Monday in their home-opener 11-5) and will face the Dodgers again tomorrow afternoon.

In other sports news:

-- The Penguins (45-27-7) will host the NY Islanders Thursday in what will be Melon Arena's final ever regular season game. The Pens have three games remaining (two of which are against the playoff-hopeless Islanders) and are currently 4th in conference standings (The current playoff scenario can be found here).

-- Tiger Woods returns to golf - and Nike Commercials.

-- Big Ben and Holmes still in hot water. Lawyers are hopeful that evidence will prove them not guilty.

UPDATE: Holmes has been traded to the "J-E-R-K-S Jets! Jets! Jets!" for a 5th round pick.
