The Daily Numbers for Friday, Oct. 2

The Daily Numbers: 9 people dead, 20 injured in latest mass shooting, this time at a community college in Oregon.

26, age of the suspect, who died in a gun battle with police.

175,000 dollars, how much Upper Darby wants to be reimbursed for its costs from security and police for the pope events last weekend.

240,000 dollars seen being incurred by towns in Montgomery County.

1.6 million tab for SEPTA services during the pope weekend.

43, age of Chester youth football coach and mentor Shawn Atkins, who will be buried today after dying unexpectedly at a team practice last week.

1st dorm set to be added to the Penn State Brandywine campus.

250 bed residence hall on the Middletown campus.

250 seat dining hall included in the new dorm.

16 conditions of approval placed on the plan by Middletown council.

2nd perjury charge slapped on Pa. Attorney General Kathleen Kane.

1,500 more pornographic emails released by Kane, which she claims are the reason behind more charges being filed against her.

Some of those emails came from the office of a sitting Supreme Court justice.

4 inches of rain that has deluged South Carolina.

1 person killed in the flooding.

4 as in Category 4 storm for Hurricane Joaquin, which now appears as if it will veer out to sea rather than slamming the East Coast. It’s still going to be a wet, raw weekend.

10 strikeouts over 7 dominant innings for Jerad Eickhoff as the Phillies swept the Mets, 3-0.

97 losses for the Phils.

1 more win in final 3-game series vs. the Marlins needed to avoid a 100-loss season.

2-run homer for Darin Ruf.

33 straight road games in which the Mets had scored 3 runs or more. That streak was snapped by Eickoff and Phils. 1 p.m. Sunday, Eagles vs. Redskins is still on for FedEx Field in Landover.

Call me a Phanatic: A look at the ups and downs of being a Philadelphia sports fan.

Add Cole Hamels to the parade of former Phillies headed to the playoffs. The Rangers clinched a Wild Card slot yesterday and could still win the AL West. Jerad Eickhoff is not a bad consolation prize.

I Don’t Get It: I realize they moved up the Phils’ game from 7:10 to 12 noon, but there was nobody in Citizens Bank Park yesterday. Embarrassing.

Today’s Upper: Kudos to Upper Darby Mayor Tom Micozzie for seeking reimbursement for the township for expenses incurred for pope weekend.
