WTEN is overhauling its sports staff.
Sports director Liana Bonavita said her goodbyes on Friday, after more than a decade spent in the 518 with WXXA & WTEN. Liana is also leaving the broadcasting business, and moving into insurance, taking a job with Northwestern Mutual, per an interview with the Albany Times-Union.
Reporter Jared Phillips is also leaving, which leaves Griffin Haas as the only sports reporter left on staff. They'll fill the void soon enough.
========================================
It must've been raining heavier near Joe Bruno Stadium than anywhere else Tuesday, as the Tri-City Valleycats postponed their game with the Trois-Rivieres Aigles. They'll play 2 today, 7 innings each, with the opener at 3 pm.
In other Valleycats news, the team activated 1B Brad Zunica from the COVID IL, and placed pitcher Oddy Nunez on the 7 day IL. Catcher Daniel Angulo, after being so impressive early, hasn't been hitting, it seems, and was cut, along with pitchers Aneudy Acosta & Eric Ezersky, both of whom were strafed in Sunday's 15-12 loss to the NY Boulders. The 'Cats acquired pitcher Neil Abbatiello & infielder Jace Mercer from Windy City, and pitcher Jaylon Smith from Winnipeg of the American Association in separate deals for players to be named later, so the shuffling will continue.
=======================================
Toronto reliever Matt Gage (Broadalbin-Perth/Siena) pitched a scoreless inning in Monday's loss to the Chicago White Sox. Tuesday's result didn't make the papers in time for press this morning, but the two teams have a matinee this afternoon.
