News & notes

While the Atlanta Braves are cruising into the post-season after winning their 3rd straight National League East title, rookie Ian Anderson is trending in the opposite direction.

The Shenendehowa graduate suffered his 2nd straight loss Thursday night, as Atlanta fell to second place Miami, 5-2. Anderson went 7 innings, gave up 3 runs, all earned, while striking out 6 without a walk. He'll have a week to recover, as he's set to pitch game 2 of Atlanta's 1st round playoff series next week, opponent yet to be determined.

Anderson went 1-2 vs. the NL East, his only win coming against Washington, while going 2-0 vs. the AL East (Boston and the Yankees). I'm pretty sure he's hoping to avoid a 3rd meeting with the Marlins.....
========================
Troy High's golf season began with a loss on Thursday to Saratoga, 247-314, at McGregor Country Club. The Flying Horses stay on the road, and will tee it up at Bethlehem tomorrow.
=========================
WNYT's cameras were at Picken Field earlier this week to film a Troy High soccer practice, and interviewed women's coach Justin Haviland.

Reporter Ashley Miller said that there would be just 10 games this season, which is incorrect. While Ballston Spa & Bethlehem have opted out of the season due to COVID-19 concerns, the schedules available at Schedule Galaxy and capitalregionsoccer.com have the men playing 12 matches, while the women have 11, as there is no equivalent for CBA on the women's side. The season is set to end November 14 vs. Colonie (men on the road, senior night for the women). The season opens October 3 vs. Niskayuna.

Stay tuned.
