Dog Nights Return to Classic Park

Four Dates Available; Pup Packages Also Available at Progressive Field in August

Our boys of summer need us. I'm no sports writer, but with a record of 26-29 thus far this season – and that's doing better away than home (15-14 vs. 11-15), not including Sunday's home game – the Lake County Captains are clearly missing that essential hometown spark.

The employees of Ladies & Gentlemen Salon & Day Spa are better known for their skills in the beauty shop than on the baseball diamond; but they will be swinging their bats for a good cause this Sunday. The Mentor salon will compete against John Roberts Salon in a charity softball game 4:30 p.m. at Classic Park in Eastlake. All the money from tickets sold will go to worthwhile causes.
