Last year, the Sussex County Miners seemed to have the Tri-City Valleycats' number.
Last night, not so much.
The Valleycats scored all of their runs in one big chunk in the 4th inning, capped by a Brantley Bell grand slam, to beat the Miners and end a 3 game losing streak, 7-3. The two teams will finish the series this afternoon at 2 pm
Other 'Cats news: former major leaguer Jay Bell, Brantley's father, was a guest coach for the 'Cats on the last homestand. Bell's major league resume included stops in Pittsburgh, Arizona, and with the Mets.

Miami Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill was in town Saturday for a clinic at UAlbany. The event was a one day event, four hours in all, and you have to believe there were plenty of kids----and adults, too----who had trading cards of Hill for him to autograph. Hill was traded from Kansas City, where he won a Super Bowl in 2020, to Miami in the offseason.
====================================
The Epson tour's Twin Bridges Championship is wrapping up as we write, but among the missing is Albany Academy's Kennedy Swedick. The Section II & state champion missed the cut Saturday after going 11 over par over the first two rounds. Albany Times-Union golf columnist Joyce Bassett is covering the event, and said that Swedick's massive following was one of the biggest among the field. That said, I'd imagine the attendance will be much smaller for the final round today.
For Kennedy, Section II play begins at the end of next month, and, there's always next year, if the Epson tour returns to the 518.
