News & notes

 Not that they'd toot their own horn, but the Albany Times-Union has one of their own on a list of local holes-in-one from the past week.

Columnist Joyce Bassett, who shares the golf beat with freelancer Pete Dougherty, carded her first hole-in-one at Pinehaven Country Club. Congratulations.

=============================================
The Tri-City Valleycats defeated the Brockton Rox, 9-6, Tuesday night. Jake Reinisch (Shen/Wake Forest) went 1-4 with a run scored for Tri-City (6-2). Derek Bender (Albany Academy/Coastal Carolina) was 3-5 with an RBI & a run scored for Brockton (2-7); Bender's former teammates with Academy, Ben Seiler & Brett Young, didn't see action. Let's take a quick stat check on them.

Seiler has appeared in 3 games, all in relief, and last pitched last Saturday vs. the NY Boulders. He has a 3.00 ERA over 3 innings pitched.

Young has only appeared in 1 game this season, May 15 @ Sussex County, as a defensive replacement.

In other Valleycats news, the oddball scheduling for Section II baseball championships next week can be attributed to the 'Cats sharing Bruno Stadium, as the team has a pair of Education Day matinees May 28-29 as an opening act for the high schoolers. The 'Cats return home May 27 for 6 games, which explains why there's a 10 am high school game on June 1.

The annual 518 Futures game moves to a Sunday berth this year while the 'Cats are on the road. The game will take place June 8. Tickets, I believe, are already on sale at the team's box office.
