News & notes

 The Tri-City Valleycats will have their final pre-season game tonight vs. the Empire State Greys, an expansion team in the Frontier League. First pitch is 6:30 pm. The Greys will play their entire schedule on the road, and after tonight, will return to Bruno Stadium next month.

============================================

Not a good day for local colleges in post-season play on Friday.

In women's lacrosse, for example, Siena followed its men's team out of the tournament, eliminated by Fairfield, 10-8. Siena finishes 10-8 for the season.

Turning to softball, Rochester defeated RPI to win the Liberty League title, 6-4. The Engineers then won a losers bracket game, beating Ithaca for the 2nd straight day, 5-2. Ithaca had beaten Skidmore in the losers bracket earlier, 7-0. So the order of finish would be:

1. Rochester.

2. RPI.

3. Ithaca.

4. Skidmore.

Elsewhere, Russell Sage was eliminated from the Empire 8 softball tournament by Nazareth, 4-3. The Gators finish at 15-21. Cobleskill defeated Cazenovia in the NAC tournament, 16-5 in 5 innings.

Despite the league title having been decided, the Liberty League has "crossover" games on today's schedule, with RPI playing a doubleheader at Rochester, Skidmore hosting Clarkson for 2, and Union at Ithaca for 2.

==========================================

The rest of Friday's college action:

Baseball:

UAlbany 15, Hartford 1.

Adelphi swept a doubleheader from the College of St. Rose, 11-6 & 4-1.

Utica split with Russell Sage, winning the opener, 12-0, with Sage rebounding in the nightcap, 4-1. The two teams meet again today.

Men's tennis:

Liberty League tournament, 1st round:

Hobart 5, Union 0.

Women's tennis:

Liberty League quarter-finals:

RPI 5, Union 0.

=========================================

If you're looking to go to OTB to place a bet on today's Kentucky Derby, find the nearest parlor, and get there early. NBC's coverage begins four hours before the race itself. OTB will handle wagers on the rest of the Churchill Downs card, and may be broadcasting live from their Clubhouse Racebook in Colonie. I recommend tuning into OTB (Spectrum digital channel 1250) instead of NBC. That way, you can avoid a certain bloviator who's threatened to turn the Run For The Roses into a media circus. If you don't know who I mean, check out The Land of Whatever.

News & notes

 The Albany Patroons had a Thursday home game for just the 2nd time this season, and remain unbeaten at the Washington Avenue Armory, thrashing Connecticut, 147-103. As you might expect, this game was over early, as 9 Patroons reached double figures, a season high.

========================================

The post-season has already started for local colleges, but the results, so far, have been mixed.

For example, UAlbany's men's lacrosse team was eliminated in the America East tournament on Thursday, dropping a 17-7 decision to arch-rival Vermont. The women, on the other hand, have reached the finals of their tournament after turning back UMBC, 16-13.

Siena was eliminated from the MAAC men's tournament by St. Bonaventure, 12-10.

Russell Sage's softball team was bounced from the Empire 8 tournament in a 1-0 loss to St. John Fisher.

In the Liberty League softball tournament, Rochester defeated Skidmore, 9-0, and now will face RPI, 1-0 winners over Ithaca, in the finals today in Rochester.

=========================================
The seedings will be announced for the Section II baseball & softball playoffs in 10 days. One must assume that Troy High's softball team will get a very favorable seeding, up in the top 5, with three games (2 in league play) left on their schedule.

The Lady Horses ran their winning streak to 11 in a row, as Olivia DeCitise twirled her 2nd no-hitter of the season, and the team's 3rd, in beating Columbia, 2-0. DeCitise, a junior, finished with 15 strikeouts, and was one out away from a perfect game before giving up a walk in the home 7th. A Troy error put the tying runs on base, but DeCitise came back to put the finishing touches on her latest gem. For all intents & purposes, Troy has clinched the Gray division title, even though their focus is on the overall title. Of the three games remaining, the two league games left are against Blue division opponents (Niskayuna today, Bethlehem Wednesday), while Troy will host Tamarac (Wasaren League) on Tuesday.

Troy's baseball team should get a decent seeding, too. Coach Chris Stack's crew has won 9 of 10 after beating Columbia behind Mike Kennedy, 6-2. Kennedy fanned 10 in going the distance, and helped himself with a 2 run homer. They're going to love him at LSU next year.

News & notes

 The Albany Empire thought they solved their QB problem after Tommy Grady left after last season.

However, Mike Fafaul didn't impress in a season opening home loss to Carolina, and on Wednesday was shipped off to Jacksonville for QB Warrren Smith, Jr., who will share QB duties with Sam Castronova going forward, starting with this week's road game at Orlando.

===========================================

We're looking for the result of last night's Tri-City Valleycats pre-season game at Bruno Stadium. As with the 'Cats' win over Hudson Valley Community College on Saturday, the local press can't be bothered to cover the game. We'll see about that come Saturday.

===========================================

Ian Anderson's line wasn't pretty on Wednesday. 5 1/3 innings. No runs, five hits, four walks, one strikeout. Thanks to a 7 run outburst by his Atlanta Braves teammates, Anderson picked up the win, as Atlanta salvaged a split in their four game series with the Mets Wednesday, 9-2.

The walks have been a problem for Anderson, who lowered his ERA to 4.04 as he raised his record to 3-1 for the season. Maybe the next time Anderson and the Braves are in New York, there will be a contingent from Shenendehowa to cheer him on.

===========================================

Most of Wednesday's high school schedule was washed out by rain. We don't have a report on the men's lacrosse match between Troy & Hudson Falls as it was not submitted to the local papers.

Update, 1:45 pm.: Per Troy AD Paul Reinisch, Hudson Falls routed Troy, 14-4, so Troy now has lost three in a row, and nine of ten.

====================================

Troy High is touting, with help from Kyle Adams of The Record/Saratogian, their softball team being 1 game out of first place overall in the Suburban Council. At 8-2, headed into a road game at Columbia today, the Lady Horses sit atop the Gray division, and have won 10 in a row. They have the best overall record at 13-2, but Adams didn't break the standings down by division, as he should've. The only difficult games remaining in league are today at Columbia, and the road finale on May 11 at Bethlehem. Sean Geisel's club hosts winless Niskayuna tomorrow and Tamarac (Wasaren League) on Tuesday othewise.

Tuesday's high school scoreboard, 5/3

A few years ago, this would've merited front page headlines in the sports section of the newspaper. In 2022, a battle of division leaders in the Suburban Council in softball is considered an afterthought.

Shenendehowa entered Tuesday's road game at Troy undefeated in league play, while the Flying Horses had won 9 in a row, having overcome earlier losses to Averill Park and Burnt Hills, and I'm sure those two teams were rooting for Shen to derail the runaway train.

Nope. Didn't happen.

Troy's Olivia DeCitise (who else?) scattered five hits and struck out 13 in going the distance again, as Troy ran its winning streak to 10 in a row, handing the Plainswomen their first league loss, 2-1. Katie Pryor drove in the game winner in the 5th inning, and the Troy defense backed up DeCitise to make the lead stand up.

Troy is right back at it this afternoon, weather permitting, of course, at Columbia, then return home to play Niskayuna on Friday. A non-league game vs. Tamarac has been added for Tuesday. Troy already had Senior Day prior to beating Guilderland on April 29.

Update, 11:04 am: Due to rain, today's softball game and tennis meet at Columbia have been postponed.

On the men's side, Troy rebounded from a loss to Guilderland to beat Shen, 6-4. Kyle Adams of The Record/Saratogian posted the results on his Twitter page. Whether or not it merits the front of El Cheapo Media's sports section is another story, since it takes them a week to update their online sports page. Troy has pushed back their baseball game at Columbia to tomorrow in anticipation of a possible rainout.

News & notes

 Rain & wet grounds forced postponement of a number of games on Monday, and forced some schedule changes for today.

For example, Troy High, which was scheduled to play Shenendehowa in baseball, softball, & tennis, had all three postponed. The baseball game was moved to today, replacing a Troy road game at Scotia-Glenville, which will likely not be made up. The changes are not in today's newspapers.

Let's look at what was played on Monday:

Softball:

Colonial Council:

Academy of Holy Names 12, Cobleskill-Richmondville 0 (5 innings).

Suburban Council:

Albany 14, Schenectady 0 (5 innings---we think. No box score was submitted.)

Guilderland 6, Averill Park 3.

Bethlehem 4, Colonie 2.

Baseball:

Foothills Council:

Queensbury 7, Hudson Falls 0.

Gloversville 3, Broadalbin-Perth 1.

Suburban Council:

Guilderland 6, Averill Park 4. The Dutchmen have the league's best record at 10-1.

Schenectady 4, Albany 1. The Patriots pick up their first win of the season.

Ballston Spa 8, Columbia 3.

Tennis:

Non-league:

Mekeel Christian 7, Schoharie 0.

Men's lacrosse:

Foothills Council:

Queensbury 20, Hudson Falls 0. The Spartans led, 12-0, at halftime, and never looked back.

Suburban Council:

Bethlehem 9, CBA 3.

Colonial Council:

Voorheesville 15, Catholic Central 3 (mistakenly listed as a Wasaren League game in the paper).

Non-league:

Hoosick Falls-Tamarac 12, Ichabod Crane-Maple Hill 0.

Women's lacrosse:

Foothills Council:

Scotia-Glenville 16, Johnstown 3.

Greenwich 15, Amsterdam 13.

Suburban Council:

Burnt Hills 17, Shaker 6. MK Lescault had 7 goals, and Ella Blesi and Caroline Kogut each notched a hat trick for the Spartans.

Non-league:

Academy of Holy Names 15, Voorheesville 6.

=================================

For Shenendehowa alumni, it's good news, bad news on Wednesday.

The good news is that Ian Anderson will, in fact, pitch for Atlanta in the final game of their series vs. the Mets. Problem is, it's a matinee game, with a 1:10 pm first pitch. I'd imagine some folks will be scoreboard watching before the final bell of the day.

==================================

We need to stress this as much as possible. Not every game gets reported to the papers. If you're a parent attending a game, don't wait for the coaches to call it in. It'll help your schools tremendously.

News & notes

 It was Senior Day for the Siena softball team on Sunday, and the Saints celebrated by sweeping Monmouth, 1-0 & 7-1. With just 2 seniors on the roster, the Saints took the time to honor Monmouth's three seniors as well in a short pre-game ceremony.

For what it's worth, Joe Mixie, the voice of the Tri-City Valleycats and Siena's women's basketball, also mans the PA booth for Siena softball. He'll be back at work with the Valleycats for their home opener May 17.

Unfortunately, Siena's baseball team continues to struggle, as they lost to Canisius, 8-0. The Saints are an unsightly 9-30 overall, 6-9 in the MAAC, with a week to go before tournament play.

======================================

Hudson Valley Community College's baseball & softball teams are the Rodney Dangerfields of spring sports in the hometown.

We say that because the Vikings don't get enough press as opposed to RPI, Siena, et al, leaving bloggers like ye scribe to go to the school's website to obtain game results. I know newspaper budgets are the size of thimbles these days, but this is ridiculous.

To that end, it was a good day on the road for the Vikings on Sunday.

The baseball team split a doubleheader with Mohawk Valley Community College, winning the first game, 3-1, then dropping the nightcap, 3-0. The Softball team swept Genesee Community College, 11-3 & 14-2.

For what it's worth, this blog was the only thing resembling the press covering Saturday's Vikings-Valleycats exhibition game.

======================================

Boston College senior Brandon Barlow (Shaker) went undrafted in the NFL Draft last week, but there is hope after all. Barlow has been invited to a minicamp with the Kansas City Chiefs. If so many teams were interested in Barlow over the three-day draft, why didn't anyone take a chance?

=====================================

The Albany Patroons won again Sunday, defeating Connecticut, 129-127. However, there is no box score or game report in today's editions. If you look at the TBL standings, you'll see the result as the Patroons (12-2) remain in first place.

=====================================

The Albany Empire needed overtime Saturday to pick up their first win, outlasting Jacksonville, 61-60. 

======================================
The rest of Sunday's college action:

Softball:

Stony Brook 8, UAlbany 7.

Baseball:

Keystone 7, SUNY Cobleskill 4.

St. Rose split with New Haven, winning the first game, 1-0, then losing the second, 15-7.

Russell Sage split with Elmira, winning the opener, 9-1 (7 innings), and losing the nightcap, 15-14.

News & notes

 The Albany FireWolves needed to win to make the National Lacrosse League playoffs. 

Mission accomplished.

The 'Wolves collected some payback on the New York Riptide in the home finale at MVP Arena on Saturday, winning by a final score of 17-9. Only the top 4 teams in the NLL reach the playoffs, and Albany will have a 3rd meeting vs. the top seeded Buffalo Bandits next Saturday. Joe Resetaritis led Albany with 5 goals. Buffalo swept the regular season series with Albany, but can they beat the suddenly hot 'Wolves a 3rd time?

==================================

Another night, another win for the Albany Patroons.

Will Brown's club had all five starters finish in double figures, led by Anthony Moe with 24 points, and AJ Mosby with 22, as the Pats took down Atlantic City, 99-83. The Patroons are on the road this evening at Connecticut, safely in 1st place in The Basketball League.

===================================

We would be remiss if we didn't bring up the fact that the New York Racing Association (NYRA) is looking at suspending trainer Bob Baffert for 2 years for using PED's on some of his horses. The California-based Baffert, a Hall of Famer, has had his career tarnished with the scandal, but one must wonder if he's not the only one. As of right now, it doesn't look like he'll be at Saratoga in July.

====================================

Shenendehowa grad Ian Anderson pitched six strong innings Friday as the Atlanta Braves beat the Texas Rangers. Anderson gave up 2 runs on 3 hits, walked 3, and struck out 6. Brother Ben is in the Rangers' minor league chain, but not yet major league ready, it seems.

=====================================

As we know, Stony Brook is leaving the America East Conference for the Colonial Athletic Alliance after this season. On Saturday, they did what they do best. Spoil the party for UAlbany.

The Seawolves defeated Albany in women's lacrosse, 16-5, in what is being billed as the last meeting between the in-state rivals. Something tells me that will not really be the case after all, if the State Universities agree to a series of non-league games.

=====================================

Not listed in the results of Saturday's action in the papers is a non-league men's lacrosse match between Troy High and Tamarac-Hoosick Falls. The game, played at Tamarac's Cropseyville campus, went to the Wildcats, 8-1. Troy has now lost 8 of their last 9, but have just 4 games left. For some reason, Suburban Council opponents Guilderland, Columbia, and Shenendehowa were taken off Troy's schedule this season, likely due to the number of non-league games. Troy has one non-league game left, Wednesday vs. Hudson Falls. After that, they'll have Niskayuna on Thursday, and Senior Day on May 10 vs. CBA, and close at Bethlehem on May 12.
