News & notes

 Shenendehowa grad Ian Anderson took the hill Saturday night for Atlanta against the Philadelphia Phillies. This was the 3rd time already this season Anderson has pitched against the Phils, and so Joe Girardi's club was ready for him. Jean Segura, fresh off the injured list, opened the game with a solo home run, and Philadelphia jumped out to an early 3-0 lead.

Anderson went six innings, giving up all three runs while striking out seven and walking three. His season ERA is now at nearly 3 1/2 runs a game (3.46). Luckily for him, Atlanta came storming back, and it took 12 innings before the Braves defeated Philadelphia, 7-4.

========================================

Due to early deadlines or general disinterest by certain schools, not all of yesterday's scores were published in today's newspapers, or reported to local television outlets and websites.

Case in point, Troy High's road tennis meet at Saratoga and a home baseball game, the latter the nightcap of a Saturday matinee doubleheader vs. Schenectady, were not reported. We can pretty much guess how things turned out, but we'd rather have that information to pass it along to our readers.

That said, let's get to the Saturday scoreboard:
