HAGERSTOWN, Md. — It was a near-sellout crowd Friday night at Municipal Stadium. A crowd of 5,894 on hand for the second of four games between the Hagerstown Suns and Columbia Fireflies.

The U.S. Postal Service is raising mail prices for most users, pushing the cost of a first-class stamp from 63 cents to 66 cents.
The new rates, which also cover other mail items including periodicals and advertising mailers, are poised to take effect July 9 unless overruled by the postal regulator.
The 5.4 percent increase across all first-class mail products is the agency’s fourth rate hike in two years. It also brings the price of a stamp, a baseline for postage products, up 32 percent since 2019, when a stamp ran 50 cents.
