The San Francisco Giants have hired veteran third-base coach Gary Pettis, formerly of the Houston Astros, to become their new third-base coach.
He replaces Hector Borg, who was removed from the position last week, and replaced on an interim basis by Ron Wotus.
2B Jarren Advincula from Mitty having huge season at Georgia Tech. Hitting .428 with team-leading 56 RBI for 36-7 Jackets, ranked nationally in top 5. Has started every game. @DarrenSabedra@nathancanilao@CB_Journalist@GReeves23
Former Clayton Valley catcher Ryder Helfrick leading Arkansas w/14 HR this season. Has .297 BA w/more BB than K's for Razorbacks, who are ranked among top 25 college baseball teams in 3 polls I saw. @DarrenSabedra@nathancanilao@CB_Journalist@GReeves23@claytonvalley
Central East-Fresno beats St. Francis 76-63 in D-1 NorCal regional semifinal. Teams were forced to make last-minute venue switch due to power failure at Central East. @DarrenSabedra@nathancanilao@CB_Journalist@GReeves23
5 minutes before D-1 girls NorCal semifinal tip-off between St. Francis at Central East-Fresno, the power went out. Game being moved to Justin Garza HS. Not sure when will start. @DarrenSabedra@nathancanilao@CB_Journalist@GReeves23
5 minutes before tip-off of Division I girls’ basketball NorCal semifinal between No. 6 seed Central East and No. 7 Saint Francis (Mountain View), the power went out. It won’t come back on.
The game is now being moved to Justin Garza HS. It will start ASAP once teams drive over.
@KasselMedia Clayton went 0-3 vs. SI, Modesto Christian and Salesian. Lost those games by a total of 5 points. Tough break for Clayton, but think CIF made right decision.
CONGRATS to @nathancanilao. His excellence in HS beat reporting honored by @APSE_sportmedia with a Top 10 national honor in the A division. Well earned. First time, btw, that HS beat reporting is being recognized in the highest division.
