PLYMOUTH — If pitching and defense win championships, it would be hard to argue with the John Glenn Falcon’s chances of a sectional title at Plymouth.
Falcon starter Justin Gierlowski was one pitch away from a no-hitter, and Glenn made some slick defensive plays in his support in taking a 5-0 shutout from the host Pilgrims in the opening round of sectional play at Bill Nixon Field.
PLYMOUTH - The area got some positive economic news on Friday with the sale of Whitley Products to a Michigan based company - Aggressive Manufacturing Innovations or AMI.
"I can confirm that (AMI) has purchased the company and all of its remaining assets," said Kevin Smith a representative of AMI. "They just completed the sale and they are planning to re-open the Plymouth plant."
Smith said that he expected the company to be "operational to some degree" as early as next week but also said it would take some time before the company could become fully operational.
