News & notes

 The Tri-City Valleycats and the Trois Rivieres Aigles (3 Rivers Eagles in English) split the first two games of their series, as today's game was the 1st matinee of the season for the 'Cats, marking the return of Education Day.


After a night where the two teams did their best to recreate the high scoring slugfest between the Mets & Colorado on Sunday, with the Aigles winning, 12-11, Tri-City came back today, with Cito Culver pounding two of the 'Cats' 3 homers, to beat Trois Rivieres, 9-2.

The teams finish their series tomorrow with former major leaguer Darryl Strawberry in the house.
===============================================
Troy High now knows who their softball team will play in the first state regional game on Thursday.

The school's calendar page on Aktivate was updated to show the Lady Horses will meet Jamesville-DeWitt Thursday in East Syracuse. 1st pitch is scheduled for 5 pm.
=============================================
The Albany Patroons took the first steps toward the TBL title by routing Reading Tuesday at the Armory, 111-96. Arsenio Arrington led Albany with 26 points.

Tomorrow, the Pats will open a best of 3 with Northeast Division champ Atlantic City. Games 2 and, if needed, 3, will be in Atlantic City.
==============================================
Regional play in women's lacrosse has gotten off to a bad start for Section II.

Tuesday at Schuylerville, the host Black Horses were routed by Bronxville for the 2nd straight year, 18-2. In the nightcap, Suffern defeated Saratoga, 9-7, so the Class A (Saratoga) & D (Schuylerville) champions have been eliminated. The B & C regionals take place today.
=============================================
Local wrestling fans will recall Vik Dalicious and Hale Collins, from the Poughkeepsie-Middletown area, as mainstays of local promotions in the last decade.

On Tuesday's NWA Powerr, The Now (Collins & Dalicious) qualified for the 2023 Jim Crockett Memorial Cup tag team tournament. The pay-per-view is coming up soon, so let's hope The Now makes New York proud.
