News & notes

The TBL finals are following a familiar script so far.

The Shreveport Mavericks won game 1 on Saturday night, 123-115, setting up another do-or-die situation for the Albany Patroons Wednesday night at the Washington Avenue Armory, with game 3 to follow if needed on Thursday.
=======================================
Make it 2 in a row for the Albany Empire.

The Empire returned to San Antonio, and collected a receipt from the Gunslingers, 61-47. Check the video:


San Antonio's three game winning streak, which started with a win over Albany the first time, ended with this game.
========================================
The Tri-City Valleycats confirmed that Kumar Rocker has pitched his last game for the team as he prepares for the MLB draft later this month.

Then, the 'Cats went out and routed the Empire State Greys for the 2nd straight night, 9-4. Leo Crawford picked up the win, but things did get a little dicey in the 9th inning, as the Greys plated three runs against the Valleycats' bullpen. The 'Cats will look for the sweep this afternoon at Bruno Stadium.
========================================
The Albany Times-Union released its 2022 sports awards edition on Thursday. Troy High supporters are just plain giddy after learning that softball ace Olivia DeCitise was named Large School Softball Player of The Year, and LSU commit Mike Kennedy was named Large School Baseball Player of the Year.

To be fair, the small school equivalents went to Gavin Van Kempen (Maple Hill baseball) and Emma Scheltinger (Ichabod Crane softball).

We'll remind that Kennedy and Van Kempen are on a short list of 518 players who could wind up going in the draft, giving local viewers a reason to watch.
