News & notes

 Union College came up short in their bid to capture the NCAA Division III men's lacrosse title, losing to RIT, 12-10, on Sunday. RIT has now won 21 straight over the Dutchmen.

Speaking of lacrosse, a traveling league will be visiting Albany this weekend. Wouldn't be surprised to see a few local players taking part.

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

The Tri-City Valleycats return home tonight to open a series with last year's arch-nemesis, the Sussex County Miners. Pete Incaviglia's club has dropped four of five after losing, 7-3, to Schaumburg on Sunday. The Boomers lead the Frontier League's West division, while the 'Cats are in 3rd place in the East, off to an 8-6 start.

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

Former Valleycat Garrett Stubbs was in New York last weekend with the Philadelphia Phillies as the Phils were swept by the Mets. Stubbs hit a 3 run homer on Friday, but the bullpen couldn't contain the Mets. Stubbs played yesterday against San Francisco as the backup to starting catcher J. T. Realmuto.
