As it is the All-Star Break in the majors, so it also is in the Frontier League.
The Tri-City ValleyCats are idle until after the break, but closed out the first half with a flourish, as they salvaged the finale of their series at Ottawa, 12-10, on Sunday afternoon. On Friday, the 'Cats return to Canada for a series vs. Quebec before returning home for a rematch with the Titans next week.
At least Tri-City will be represented at tomorrow's All Star Game with David Glancy & Dylan Broderick playing for Team Atlantic.
The 2016 MLB draft has come & gone, and two former Section II standouts are heading off to start their pro careers.
Ryan Bilka (CBA) was drafted by the Cleveland Guardians out of Miami, while Gavin Van Kempen (Maple Hill) was chosen by the World Champion Los Angeles Dodgers out of East Carolina.
Now, if only the Albany Times-Union would go back to tracking the minor league journeys of these local kids........
With a week to go before the playoffs, Ana Gold and the Carolina Blaze are in danger of missing the postseason.
Carolina has dropped six in a row after getting swept by Texas, 8-0, in 5 innings Monday. Gold was 0-2, as her slump continues. Fortunately for the Blaze, they'll close the season at home, as they'll start a 5 game tomorrow vs. Chicago, streaming on MLB.TV. The finale of that 2-set will be Thursday on CBS Sports Network at 7 pm. After that, they'll finish with Oklahoma City (Saturday at 4 pm, Sunday at noon, and Monday at 7, all on ESPN or ESPN2.). Carolina needs to run the table to get back into playoff contention, as they're currently in 5th place, 5 1/2 games out of first. Utah has locked down the regular season title, meaning the best the Blaze can hope for is to finish 2nd or 3rd.
