• Wolcott sends champion Plowboys home, earns first finals berth since 2014 (collinsvillepress.com) — Waterbury’s Municipal Stadium just hosted a big Tri-State League upset, where the Wolcott Scrappers scored seven unanswered runs to eliminate defending champion Bethlehem and reach their first finals since 2014. The best-of-three championship starts Friday, with at least one game scheduled back at Municipal Stadium, giving local fans a chance to catch high-stakes amateur baseball close to home. 
• Trinity Health hospitals face repeated patient safety violations in Connecticut (hartfordbusiness.com subscription) — Waterbury’s St. Mary’s Hospital is part of Trinity Health of New England, the system now under state scrutiny after repeated serious safety violations at its Hartford and Stafford hospitals. While St. Mary’s itself isn’t cited, state officials are pressing Trinity to invest more resources and fix persistent quality problems, especially at Saint Francis in Hartford and Johnson Memorial in Stafford.
