The Tri-City Valleycats finally snapped a seven game losing streak on Sunday, salvaging the final game of their series with the New Jersey Jackals, 4-2, in the midst of a weekend heat wave. Denis Phipps provided the difference maker with a 2 run homer, and the 'Cats' pitching made it stand up.
After an off-day Monday, Tri-City will seek revenge on the NY Boulders beginning tonight. First pitch is at 6:30 pm.

Kevin Huerter scored 15 points off the bench as Atlanta downed top-seeded Philadelphia, 128-124 Sunday. Trae Young led all scorers with 34 points.
The 76ers had hoped for a good luck charm from the WWE, as Paul "Triple H" Levesque came out with Sixers star Joel Embiid to ring the replica Liberty Bell during pre-game festivities. Levesque & Embiid came out to the theme of DeGeneration X, rocking the 2006-era shirts. Embiid is a fan.
With WWE resuming live events on a limited scale next month, don't be surprised if they do hit Albany before the end of the year.
=======================================
Lake George merged its football program with Hadley-Luzerne seven years ago. Now, Corinth is being added to the mix, and Lake George players, who've come to respect H-L coach Zac Kozersky over the last seven seasons, have threatened a boycott if Kozersky is not retained.
Parents are concerned because the Lake George school board did not consult with them, the players, or the coaches before making the merger deal with Corinth, which would be forced to go it alone with H-L if Lake George follows through on its threat. All we can say for now is, stay tuned.
