The Perfect Game Collegiate League ended its season with the Amsterdam Mohawks---surprise, surprise---winning another league title. The league added former NY-Penn League franchise Batavia last year, and the Mohawks, now without hometown star Dale Stanavich (Miami), defeated Batavia in the best of 3 series, 2-1. The Muckdogs are one of a handful of former NY-P teams, the Valleycats included, still functioning after the NY-Penn League was disbanded.
==================================
Speaking of the Valleycats, after splitting the first two games of their series with Ottawa, the 'Cats announced earlier this afternoon that tonight's game has been postponed due to rain. Tri-City sits in 4th place in the Frontier League's East division, 8 1/2 games in arrears of 1st place Quebec.
The big story, though, is how the 'Cats are rewriting the team record books for homers. Led by Denis Phipps and scorching hot Brantley Bell, Tri-City is looking at possibly matching the numbers of some major league clubs (i.e. the Yankees) by the time the season ends next month.
=================================
518 alumni watch: Toronto sent pitcher Matt Gage (Broadalbin-Perth/Siena) back to the minors recently. Gage will likely return when the rosters expand next month.
Meanwhile, Cincinnati placed pitcher Jeff Hoffman (Shaker) on the IL for the 2nd time this season. Not sure why.
Ian Anderson (Shenendehowa) is scheduled to pitch tomorrow for Atlanta vs. the Mets at Citi Field. Weather permitting, of course, as rain is in the forecast in Flushing, just like it is here. Anderson is set to oppose the Mets' Taijuan Walker. Atlanta is set to start the series tonight, 3 1/2 games behind the Mets in the NL East.
