Picayune had stopped Pascagoula 2-1 Thursday to open league action. and then the Panthers dropped three games over the weekend in the Mid-south Classic.

The Panthers broke open a scoreless game in the third, when Carlos Lott reached on an error and later scored on Slater McCarty's RBI-single. McCarty touched the plate two batters later when the Maroon Tide rightfielder dropped a ball off the bat of Panther hitter Justin Stanford.
Picayune seemed as if it might cut into the lead in the bottom of the frame, when Nick Marble doubled to lead off the inning. But A hard shot back to Crane by Jacob Taylor resulted in Marble getting picked off in a rundown and Taylor was then promptly nailed at second trying to advance as well.
Pascagoula then extended its lead two pitches into the top of the fourth, when Jacob Stanford smacked a solo home run over the left field wall to make it 3-0.
Crane held Picayune in check most of the rest of the way, as he struck out six and walked just two in the complete game effort.

Saints ready to practice with Payton again
Even as Sean Payton tried to make the best of his one-season bounty banishment from the NFL by spending time with his children, getting in shape and playing golf, he often compared his punishment to prison time.
He missed his work that much, his players say, adding that his return has infused Saints headquarters with a fresh intensity leading up to Tuesday’s opening of voluntary offseason practices. - Wildcats honored for efforts

Arboretum Paths
At the recent Master Naturalist training held at the Crosby Arboretum, Master Gardener Susan Swope discussed how using more natives in our landscapes can save us both time and money. She went on to describe some methods well-suited to lazy gardeners. One was to create planting beds in lawn areas. First, mow the grass as short as possible, then add layers of newspaper or cardboard, add a thick organic layer such as leaves, and there you go— less grass to mow.

Argentine Jorge Bergoglio elected Pope Francis
Jorge Bergoglio of Argentina was elected pope Wednesday and chose the name Francis, becoming the first pontiff from the Americas and the first from outside Europe in more than a millennium.
Looking stunned, Francis shyly waved to the crowd of tens of thousands of people who gathered in St. Peter’s Square, marveling that the cardinals needed to look to “the end of the earth” to find a bishop of Rome. - Pope Benedict VXI resigning

Not your mother’s Ladies’ Home Journal
By Rheta Grimsely Johnson/Syndicated columnist
I haven’t seen the Ladies’ Home Journal in about a million years, except maybe in the dentist’s office when I was trying to avoid a television permanently set on Fox News.
Somebody’s grandchild was selling magazines for a school project, and Ladies’ Home Journal was the only one on the list I recognized. Now it comes to the house.
Let’s just say: It’s not my mother’s Ladies’ Home Journal. This month, right behind a feature called “A Country of People Who Never Stop Eating” is one called “Nice Girls Do Get Tattoos.” - Health care market needs oversight
