Smithtown West dedicates one game per year to Long Harte, who died of breast cancer. Long Harte taught at St. James Elementary School, the same elementary school she attended as a child, for eight years.

The evening isn't just about the game but is filled with tributes and a strong commitment to raising awareness for cancer research.

The event raised $400 for The Sara Long Harte Memorial scholarship fund.

Is There a New Ace in Town?

The New York Mets have a new ace, and fantasy owners have been accustomed to viewing Freddy Peralta as a near-ace for some time.
