Part of the RCO sports time, Phil, me, Ithaca takes on Wasika Stuban today in area baseball.

The game will start at six o'clock tonight.

Also for the Ithaca softball team, they'll be hosting Wasika Stuban at six this evening.

So an hour later, we'll have the game on FM 100.9 and a WRC.com for the Ithaca baseball

diamond, with the Viteznik power sports pregame show beginning at around 5.50.

Coach Dan Clary says the last time they played Wasika Stuban, it was a tough game.

Yeah, it was a really good game for about four or five innings until we were finally able

to open things up a little bit.

And Ben does a fantastic job with the guys.

I know they're playing good ball right now.

And so we're expecting a really good test.

But our guys, too, I think we've been getting better with each game.

I think we have yet to play our best ball, so that's a good sign.

We're expecting a good one tonight.

Being that you haven't lost.

I know you're on top of the region.

Valley.

How does it look right now?

What's your lead looking like in the region, Valley?

Well, as of like right now, like I said, we have a two game lead on the Soto and Weston

and a three game lead on Sonic and Wasika, but there's a lot of games within those groups

of teams in that top group of five teams that are yet to be played with this week and

next week finishing out.

And so I can say it's a two game lead right now, but we've really got to keep our nose

to the grindstone because any one of those teams can make a surge.

So and we want to be in the hunting in the end of things.

So.

Hey, the guy who's Wasika Stuban again, those games begin at six o'clock tonight elsewhere.

On the state of Wisconsin scene, the brewers were blanks Sunday in the series finale,

five, nothing.

Freddie Peralta was unusually wild, walking in career high, six batters in five innings

of work while absorbing the loss.

I was feeling great and I, I think there's a lot of really close pitches so that I don't

know I haven't checked, but I know there's a lot of pitches that they were really close

to the song.

Probably there were balls, probably no, I don't, I haven't seen it, but you know, it wasn't

that bad, but I work a lot of people say, I shouldn't happen, but I have to be better

than that.

And here is manager Pat Murphy talking about facing a tough Cubs staff this past weekend.

All three of them were great, they pitched well, we, you know, we got those six young guys

in there and, you know, less than a year of experience and you got six young guys in

there and you got a picture like a sod or a picture like a tail on yesterday.

Those guys, they got ahead and they pitch very well.

Milwaukee went over seven with runners in scoring position.

The brewers and Bryce Wilson to the mound tonight to start a three game series at Kansas

City.

Elsewhere, Pittsburgh five three over Colorado, the Dodgers five one over Atlanta, Arizona

11 San Diego four, Philadelphia five four over San Francisco.

In the American league, Cleveland four one over the angels Yankees five Detroit two Texas

three two over Kansas City, Boston nine Minnesota two Seattle five four over Houston.

Inter league play Washington 11 Toronto eight, White Sox five one over St. Louis Tampa Bay

seven the Met six Baltimore 11 one over Cincinnati and Miami was a winner against Oakland.

That final was 12 three misinformation being shared last week during the NBA playoff

series against the Pacers.

While reporters were being told that Buck superstar Yana sounds at a cumpo was close

to returning to the court.

That was just a case of optimism.

Yana says he was never able to run enough to play in a game, putting his status at just

30 to 40% of full health, even if his teammates had extended the series to game seven.

He still would have been sideline in the NBA playoffs yesterday, Cleveland 106 Orlando 94

from the NHL playoffs, Rangers four three over Carolina and Dallas two one over Vegas.
