News & notes

 Lauren Anderson of South Carolina captured the Twin Bridges Championship at Pinehaven Country Club on Sunday, carding an even par 72 to defeat Jessica Porvasnik of Ohio by 2 shots.

Hayden Knapp (South Glens Falls) missed the cut on Saturday.
==============================================
All told, three Section II alumni were drafted last weekend in the MLB Entry Draft.

We told you before about Greg Farone (Schenectady/Alabama), who signed with San Francisco, but there were two others who slipped through the radar.

Derek Bender (Albany Academy/Coastal Carolina) went in the 6th round to Minnesota. Matt Tiberia (CBA/College of St. Rose/Lynn University) went in the 18th round, signing with Seattle. All three are reporting to rookie camps.
=================================================
Ian Anderson (Shenendehowa) has been activated from the minor league IL and will return to Atlanta's Triple A team in Gwinnett, where he is expected to make his season debut on Saturday. If all goes well, I suspect he'll be back in Hot-lanta come September.
=================================================
The Tri-City Valleycats took 2 of 3 over the weekend in Quebec, taking the rubber game, 7-6, on Sunday in a slog that went nearly 3 1/2 hours.

The 'Cats return home to face Trois-Rivieres, or, Three Rivers, on Tuesday.
==================================================
Confirming from Saturday, Dylan Davis (Saratoga) did double his season's win total Saturday at Saratoga with a 4 win day.


On Sunday, Manny Franco matched Davis with a 4 bagger of his own. The standings won't be updated until Wednesday, but you figure Franco has gotten closer to the top.

Mechanicville native Chad Brown won 4 races himself on Sunday. No surprise there.
