The Tri-City Valleycats split a doubleheader with the NY Boulders Thursday, taking the opener, 7-2, before the Boulders walked 'em off in the nightcap, 5-4, against the Tri-City bullpen.
Arlo Marynczak (Bethlehem-Siena) went 6 innings, and would've been in line for the win, but the Boulders tied it late, and won with a walk off in the 7th. The teams will meet again in Troy on Tuesday for yet another doubleheader.
Meanwhile, the 'Cats are in Brockton, and, well, another doubleheader is on the docket for today at 5 pm.
==================================================
Irad Ortiz, Jr. had two more winners on Thursday, while brother Jose had just 1, at Saratoga. With just over two weeks remaining in the meet, it doesn't look like anyone will catch the Ortiz brothers, who have the top two spots in the jockey race locked up.
Today's card begins at 1:10 pm.

Writing in The Land of Whatever the other day, I joked that Topps would produce a special trading card for umpire Jen Pawol.
Little did I know that she was a former player, and already has at least two cards that are collector's items, in the hands of a former Hall of Fame official from Guilderland.
Pawol was a member of the US Women's National Baseball team in the women's World Series in Toronto in 2001. The card was published by Sports Illustrated's website and the Albany Times-Union three years later. A 2nd card was issued by the Minnesota Girls Baseball Association in 2016. After working the Braves-Marlins series in Atlanta last weekend, Pawol is awaiting her next assignment.
