Saturday sports roundup, 6/29

The Tri-City Valleycats earned their fourth walk-off win of the season Saturday night, snapping a week-long, five game losing streak in the process, in beating Aberdeen, 4-3, in 10 innings. Grae Kessinger, grandson of former major leaguer Don Kessinger (White Sox, Cubs), went 4-5 on the night, and drove home Deury Carrasco with the game winner in the home 10th. The two teams will wrap up the series today at 5 pm at Bruno Stadium.
==========================================
Over at Siena College, the Albany Dutchmen gained a split of a home & home series with Amsterdam, beating the Mohawks, 5-4, to end a brief two game losing streak. While the Perfect Game Collegiate League gets regular television news coverage, like the Valleycats, getting any ink in The Record, with their limited resources, is a different story, pun intended. Aside from the annual Education Day exhibition with the 'Cats, the Dutchmen are all but ignored on this side of the Hudson River. One more reason we need local investors to try to buy The Record and its sister publication, The Saratogian, from its out of state, penny-pinching owners.
============================================
The Albany Empire have lost two games this season, the latest a 54-43 heartbreaker to Philadelphia Saturday afternoon at Wells Fargo Center. With the win, the Soul join the Empire in qualifying for the Arena Football League playoffs. Malachi Jones was named Offensive Player of the Game in a losing effort.
