The Perfect Game Collegiate League could have some company next summer. In a way.
Major League Baseball is proposing that if the Tri-City Valleycats end up losing their affiliation with the Houston Astros, which has netted the 'Cats 3 NY-Penn League titles and a handful of Stedler Division titles, they would be downgraded to a wooden bat league not too dissimilar to the PGCL. The 'Cats have had exhibition games with the Albany Dutchmen the last few, save for this year, of course, but the downgrade from pro minor league to amateur league would ensure the 'Cats would stay in town.
The last thing the team needs is another bad move, after the passings of founder William Gladstone and patron saint Joe Bruno earlier this year. Stay tuned.
===================================
Troy/Averill Park squared its swimming/diving record at 2-2 after dispatching Albany, 105-65, Thursday night. The team has two meets left, against Ballston Spa & Bethlehem, over the final two weeks of the season before the Troy/CBA men's team begins their season in December.
=====================================
Thursday's entire high school slate was postponed or cancelled due to rain. Troy's women's tennis team apparently will finish their season today vs. Shenendehowa, with no makeup dates set for Colonie or Saratoga.
