If Tuesday night was any indication, Wapakoneta’s ACME tournament opener on Friday should be a good one.
Wapak rallied from a three-run deficit to post a 7-5 win over New Bremen at Wapakoneta High School. The two teams are set to face each other when tournament play begins Friday night at 6 at Hanover Street Park in Minster.
Trailing 5-2 after 4 1/2 innings, Wapak scored twice in the bottom of the fifth and three times in the sixth for the come-from-behind win.

After 16 years, the track at Harmon Field is scheduled to be resurfaced this summer.
Wapakoneta City Schools Board of Education members Tuesday unanimously accepted the lowest bid for the work, which is expected to be completed by Aug. 1 at a total cost of $65,566.
“We’ve done as many repairs to it as we could,” Wapakoneta City Schools Operations Director Mike Watt said. “This past spring before track started, sections could be lifted up, they weren’t adhered anymore. We had to adhere it with material from Lowe’s to get us through.”
MINSTER — One phone call and five minutes — was all it took for Ohio’s governor to get jobs for a handful of engineers at Dannon in Minster.
In a visit Tuesday touting development and investment in Ohio, Gov. John Kasich helped Dannon find engineers to fit its needs at the Minster plant. The job opportunities surfaced during a tour of the plant when the plant manager noted he needed some engineers.
Kasich called The Ohio State University President E. Gordon Gee who pledged his support.
