COLLEGE PARK -- It is not often that a pitcher like Melanie Mitchell comes around, and most of the state will be glad she is throwing for the University of Virginia next year and not McDonough of Charles County. The senior entered Saturday's Class 2A state championship against Lansdowne with an 18-0 and without having allowed a single run all season. She tied a state record with 19 strikeouts and allowed just two hits as McDonough defeated the Vikings, 4-0, at the University of Maryland.

I had never seen Bea Arthur on the stage until 1966, when I was sitting in the audience at the Winter Garden Theatre in New York City listening to the orchestra warm up and waiting for the curtain to rise on the Broadway musical Mame, which had opened that May to rave reviews. Arthur was playing boozy actress and sidekick Vera Charles to Angela Lansbury's Mame, and no one has ever played that role better. First off, what added luster to the character of Vera Charles was Arthur's interpretation, much enlivened by a distinctively husky voice that sounded like a cross between a basso profundo steam whistle off the liner Q ueen Mary and a Nantucket foghorn.

LOS ANGELES -Bea Arthur, best known as the acerbic Maude Findlay on Norman Lear's sitcom Maude and as the strong-willed Dorothy Zbornak on The Golden Girls, died Saturday. She was 86. Ms. Arthur, a stage-trained actress who was a success on Broadway long before television audiences got to know her, died of cancer at her Los Angeles home, family spokesman Dan Watt told the Associated Press. In 1966, the tall and husky-voiced Ms. Arthur won a Tony for her performance as Angela Lansbury's sharp-tongued sidekick, Vera Charles, in the original production of Mame on Broadway.

5 No-hitters thrown by area softball pitchers Friday: Hammond's Stephanie Speierman, Glenelg's Casey Schmidt, Lansdowne's Maude McCourry, St. Vincent Pallotti's Karlyn Burke and Perry Hall's Justine DiGregorio. 20 Goals scored by Walbrook's Jamar Peete in the first four boys lacrosse games - half the total goals for the Warriors (4-0). 24 Consecutive wins for John Carroll's girls lacrosse team before Notre Dame Prep ended that streak last Thursday.
