Shake off that rough start! The Fightin’s look to keep sluggin’ their way up the standings with a mid-week tilt at Citizens Bank Park. Next at bat: the San Francisco Giants.

Harper, Sánchez and the gang lead the charge, fueled by the energy of some of the younger additions, in a three-day East Coast/West Coast series. Can’t decide which game to attend? All we’re saying is that Tuesday is BOGO Hatfield hotdog night. (Wink wink.)

Remembering Al Carelli: A GCHS Alumnus Lost in the 1970 Marshall University Plane Crash

William E. Cleary Sr. | CNBNews

GLOUCESTER CITY, NJ (April 25, 2026)(CNBNews)—In 2007, Gus Danks—Gloucester Catholic Class of 1963 and a classmate of mine—reached out to tell me about a film he had just seen, We Are Marshall. The movie recounts the devastating 1970 plane crash that claimed the lives of 75 people connected to the Marshall University football program. Among those lost was Al Carelli, (photo) Gloucester Catholic Class of 1961.

According to Wikipedia, We Are Marshall (2006), directed by McG, dramatizes the aftermath of the crash of Southern Airways Flight 932, which killed 37 Marshall football players, five coaches, two athletic trainers, the athletic director, 25 boosters, and the five‑member flight crew.

On the night of November 14, 1970, the chartered DC‑9 was returning the team to Huntington, West Virginia, after a 17–14 loss to East Carolina University. Just one mile short of the Tri-State Airport runway, the aircraft clipped trees on a ridge and crashed into a gully, killing everyone on board.
