The Tri-City Valleycats sent their fans home happy Wednesday night, walking off the Trois-Rivieres Aigles in the nightcap of the doubleheader, 5-4. The Aigles won the opener, 3-1, extending Tri-City's losing streak to 4 before Brad Zunica drove in the game winner in game 2. The two teams will attempt to finish the series tonight. I say attempt, because there is again rain in the forecast.
==========================================
Take a good look at the picture below. It will be the last time it's published, pending an appeal.
The Cambridge Central School District lost its appeal, according to the Albany Times-Union, on Tuesday to keep the "Indian" mascot & imagery, as the NYS Education Department is trying to promote greater inclusiveness and diversity in culture. Come the next school board meeting on July 7, the district will decide whether or not to file an appeal with the NYS Court of Appeals. I say, don't bother. If pro teams in Cleveland and Washington can move on from Native American imagery, then it can happen at the high school level. Education commissioner Betty Rosa, in the same T-U article, is hoping other schools in the area (i.e. Fonda-Fultonville, Niskayuna) can follow suit without so much drama. Stay tuned.
=========================================
It's hard to believe, but the streets of downtown Albany will actually be quiet on Saturday night.
The Albany Empire will have their 2nd Sunday home game of the season, as they host the Columbus Lions at 2 pm. After that, fans can go up the hill to the Armory for game 2 of the Patroons' series vs. Kokomo (game 1 is tonight). The Pats, though, will be going head-to-head again with the Valleycats, who have a 5 pm game Sunday, same as the Pats. The Albany-Kokomo winner will face the winner of the SoCal-Shreveport series, with SoCal leading, 1-0, heading into game 2 tonight.
