The U.S. economy continues to struggle and sputter, but one look around Winters proves that this isn’t the case everywhere. A stroll downtown reveals construction and renovation in every direction.
Although the completely reconstructed intersection at Railroad and Main has received the bulk of attention for its bulb-outs, outdoor seating, curved seat walls and brick crosswalks, several commercial spaces are undergoing or have already completed major upgrades. Phase I of the Downtown Streetscape project, which cost $1.5 million in redevelopment funds, will finally be finished when planters are installed on the seat walls, which is anticipated by the end of July. Plans for Phase II of the project, which has a budget of $1 million and will also be paid for with redevelopment funds, are underway for First Street end of the block. . . .

After winning their first game of a double header against the Napa Sheriffs by a score of 14-4 on Sunday, June 7, the Tri-County Gamblers were on the verge of losing game two before John Cummings hit a game winning grand slam in the top of the seventh with two outs. The Gamblers went on to win 7-5 after holding the Sheriffs scoreless in the bottom of the seventh.
Cummings obviously had the big hit coming into the game as a DH batting 1 for 1 with a grand slam, four RBI and a run scored. Ray McIntire batted 1 for 1, Max Van Dyke batted 1 for 3 with a run scored, Kaplan Smith batted 1 for 3 with a run scored, Kevin Rowell batted 1 for 3 with two runs scored, Kyle Tobler batted 1 for 4 with a run scored, Cody Romero scored a run and had two RBI, while Josh Meyers had an RBI for the Gamblers. . . .
