Harrison Fitzpatrick (single), Andrew Livingstone (walk), and Lucas Riley (walk) loaded the bases and a walk to Hall brought a run in. Rodgers delivered again, this time with a two-out infield single to make it 5-1. Franklin got two back in the sixth with RBI singles from Matt Miller and Cole Sidwell, and then put the tying run on base in the seventh but Andrew Whiteside (2IP, 2H, 0R, 2BB, 3K) got a strikeout to end the game. Riley got the win on the mound, allowing three runs on two hits and seven walks, striking out seven in five innings.

“Sports betting has become so normalized that it’s viewed as harmless play"

THANK YOU The Boston Globe for inviting SAFE Coalition and CEO Jennifer Knight-Levine to participate in this conversation.

At SAFE, we have seen a significant increase in our youth engaging in online sports betting...or are a student athlete and feel the impact of betting on their athletic experience.

Don’t have access to the Globe article? Below is the SAFE segment!

"The SAFE Coalition is a social services agency that provides mental health and substance use counseling for young people in west-central Massachusetts. Starting last fall, the organization began seeing an influx of children who are struggling in school because they are betting on their phones. In response, the organization has added questions about gambling to its intake process, said Jennifer Knight-Levine, chief executive and cofounder of the nonprofit

Knight-Levine said she has noticed a trend: Many of the children who admit to betting regularly on sports do not view the activity as gambling, even when significant sums of money are involved.

“Sports betting has become so normalized that it’s viewed as harmless play, like video games,” Knight-Levine said. “A teenager will think of someone who is gambling as an old person in a casino or a smoky room, while sports betting is largely viewed as fun, exciting, and socially acceptable.”
