The Albany Patroons were given a police escort from the Washington Avenue Armory to Albany International Airport Friday, as they left for Shreveport, Louisiana, for tonight's 1st game in the TBL finals.
Shreveport is also home to Centenary College, which is the site of tonight's game. The Mavericks may be just one of the few teams other than the Patroons to have top-shelf playing facilities in the league. Game 2 is Wednesday at the Armory.

After four seasons in Atlanta, Shenendehowa grad Kevin Huerter is on the move in the NBA.
Huerter was traded by the Hawks to the Sacramento Kings on Friday, in exchange for Mo Harkless, Justin Holiday, and a 2023 draft pick. Huerter becomes the first 518 player to play for Sacramento since Jimmer Fredette. The question is, will he last longer in a Kings uniform than Fredette did? We'll see.
==========================================
If this was Kumar Rocker's finale with the Tri-City Valleycats, he went out with a bang.
Rocker went 5 innings, giving up just a run on 7 hits with a walk and 7 strikeouts, as the 'Cats dispatched the Empire State Greys, 8-3. Brad Zunica & Denis Phipps homered for the 'Cats to back Rocker. Tom Kretzler (Colonie/Brockport) pitched the final 2 innings to secure the win, giving up 2 hits and striking out 2.
