News & notes

 To update an earlier story, former Yankee and Shaker High grad Tommy Kahnle, now with the World Series champion Los Angeles Dodgers, might not see a mound until 2022 as he recovers from Tommy John surgery last summer that ended his 2020 campaign with the Yanks a wee bit early. Kahnle, back home in Latham, was interviewed for today's Albany Times-Union.
=====================================
UAlbany wilted under the bright lights of a national television audience, what little was there, anyway, on Saturday night as they dropped a 67-64 decision to St. Joseph's in Philadelphia. The Danes (1-5) were led by Jarvis Doles, who had 13 points. UAlbany returns home next weekend to play New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT).
======================================
Jalen Pickett wasted little time scoring his 1,000th career point Saturday, but it was a bittersweet end to the night as Pickett limped off the court with a leg injury late in the second half.

However, undefeated Siena (3-0) had the game won by that point, as they beat Fairfield, 74-56, in the first of a 2 game series in Connecticut. Pickett and Jackson Stormo led Siena with 15 points each. Jordan King (CBA) added 8. The two teams meet again this afternoon at 4 pm.


Back at home, Isis Young scored 23 points to lift the Lady Saints to their first win of the season, 73-64, over Rider. Ahniysha Jackson (Albany High) had 4 points in limited action for Siena (1-2). They'll play the Lady Broncs again today at 1.
