The Maryland and District of Columbia Lacrosse Club Lazers finished with a clean sweep of all of the brackets in the National Premier Youth Girls Lacrosse League spring season. In the 2017 bracket, it was a hard-fought game between Hero's and M&D. Hero's was up 7-6 before the Lazers went on a 6-0 run to secure the victory. M&D goalie Jen Schaaf came up with some huge saves in the second half. Lutherville residents Riley Thacker and Margaret Root excelled for the Lazers. Goalie Julia Cooper led the Lazers in a tight game to finish the season undefeated in the 2018 bracket.

For many folks headed to Preakness, the focus of the afternoon isn't the race. It's the fashion — and we don't just mean hats. If you're in the grandstands, the Jockey Club area or Corporate Village, you'll want to dress the part. Betsy Dugan, owner of Bettina Collections in Cross Keys and former co-owner of Octavia in Pikesville, has been dressing women for Preakness for years. "This is the time ... to dress up," she said. If there's one rule of thumb, it's that ladies and gentlemen at Preakness should look like ...well, ladies and gentlemen.

Harford Community College students created fleece no sew "comfort" blankets to donate to the Upper Chesapeake Medical Center's pediatric emergency department on April 25.

"30 Rock" star Alec Baldwin broke down the difference between the U.S. House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate the other night on David Letterman's show.  His take?  The House = "Jungle" The Senate = "Poshest golf club"  Seriously, Baldwin's impression of the genteel southern gentlemen who inhabit the Senate is quite funny. Watch below:     

Few live music clubs have been as celebrated for as long as the 9:30 Club. Soon after the Washington club opened in 1980, it became the go-to spot for influential bands of all stripes, from the local dance group Tiny Desk Unit to alt-rockers R.E.M. It's been named the Nightclub of the Year multiple times by the influential trade magazine Pollstar and sells more tickets than any other club of its size. Ask any number of nationally touring musicians to name their favorite clubs, and the 9:30 Club is bound to be near the top of their lists.

Chris Davis homered in the fourth inning - a two-run shot that was his fourth in his past three games. It also was his 30th of the season - something he has never done as a big leaguer, although he reached the milestone in the minors before. Davis is the second Oriole to get to 30 this season, joining Adam Jones, who has 32. It's the sixth time in Orioles history that teammates have hit 30 or more homers in a season. The others: J.J. Hardy and Mark Reynolds (2011); Brady Anderson and Rafael Palmeiro (1996)

The Baltimore liquor board suspended indefinitely the liquor license for the owners of a Northeast Baltimore club already padlocked by city police, according to the board's commissioner. Club 410, in the 4500 block of Belair Road, has been closed since April after police said it posed a "considerable threat to public safety." At a hearing Thursday, liquor board commissioners ordered the club out of the neighborhood and the license returned to its creditor, finding management guilty of allowing underage drinking and live entertainment in January.

Just after 2 a.m. April 17, Charlie Price realized that David Bayard, his close friend, had left the D.C. nightclub where they'd been partying for a friend's birthday. Where did he go? Price wondered, dialing Bayard's cell. Would he be able to get home? he thought, dialing again. The night was muddled by drinking, and Price can't remember whether they connected. Hours later, a detective told Price his friend had been killed. The 24-year-old University of Maryland graduate student was found dead about 7:30 a.m. in his car, which was parked near a McDonald's in Prince George's County, just a few miles from the club.

Tear it down. Fix it up. Keep it here. Move it there. Many at Pimlico Race Course Saturday, from celebrated trainers to $2 bettors, offered thoughts of what to do with Old Hilltop, the methuselan home of the 138 t h Preakness Stakes. The Maryland Jockey Club, which owns the track, has agreed to renovate both Pimlico and Laurel Park with a share of the state's slots revenue - an estimated $112 million in matching funds, if the organization ponies up the equivalent.

Maryland Jockey Club President Tom Chuckas said Saturday that the Preakness brand “has changed dramatically” in the last few years, citing an attendance bump in the infield celebration and increased security all around the racetrack.   “The crowd in the infield is up, and the wagers are coming in,” Chuckas said. “All in all, it's pretty much what we expected, and we'll continue to fine-tune it.”   Speaking with reporters just after the seventh race Saturday at Pimlico Race Cource, Chuckas acknowledged that the Jockey Club has sought to find a balance between catering to old-school horse racing fans and drawing in new crowds who could become racing enthusiasts.

The nation's debt to men and women who serve in uniform can never be fully repaid. But Jane Kramer believes every little bit helps. She said that's why the Howard County Garden Club undertook the project to install a Blue Star Memorial marker, honoring present and former armed forces members, in the heart of Ellicott City. At the Howard County Welcome Center at 8267 Main St. in Ellicott City, a formal dedication was held Friday at 10 a.m., with live music, military ceremonies, presentations and comments from local elected officials.

For Frank Carulli, it's not just a cliche anymore. He really is going to be living the dream in a few weeks. The longtime Maryland Jockey Club handicapper and race analyst is working his final Preakness on Saturday and will finish out the spring meet at Pimlico Race Course before packing up his speed charts and moving to ... well, where else? Las Vegas. That's not breaking news, since his pending departure was announced in March to give the casinos on the Strip a chance to build up their cash reserves, but it still calls for further elaboration.

Four people were shot early Sunday morning in Baltimore, as a violent weekend continued with a triple shooting at an after-hours club and a police-involved shooting outside a York Road carryout.  The triple shooting occurred at about 5:30 a.m. as people left an after-hours club called Ras-a-Ter International Restaurant and Club at 2103 W. North Ave., said Anthony Guglielmi, the department's chief spokesman.  A 25-year-old man from Glen Burnie...

Orioles second baseman Robert Andino, currently on the 15-day disabled list with a left shoulder strain, appears far ahead of schedule in his recovery and could rejoin the team when he is eligible to come off the DL on Tuesday. Andino will begin a minor-league rehab assignment at Triple-A Norfolk on Sunday and play games for the Tides on Sunday and Monday, the club announced before Friday's game. He could join the club for their game Tuesday in New York against the Yankees. That's a switch from what the Orioles had planned hours before Friday's game.

Members of the Homeschool Heart in Hand 4-H Club met May 8 for their annual work day at Black Horse Fire Station and McKendree Cemetery in Black Horse, MD.
