College baseball

California split a PSAC West doubleheader at Pitt-Johnstown on Monday, winning the opener 8-4 before dropping the second game 6-4.

Cal trailed 5-0 in the opener but rallied to win by scoring four runs in both the sixth and seventh innings. After pulling to within 5-4, the Vulcans tied the score on an RBI double by Patrick Brogan in the seventh and took the lead when a run scored on an error.

Patrick Gumto was the winning pitcher with two scoreless innings of relief.

UPJ broke a 4-4 tie by scoring two runs int he fifth inning to win the second game. Kristian Webb hit a two-run homer for Cal.

The split leaves Cal’s record at 8-4 in the West Division and 21-8 overall. The Vulcans are in third place in the division, one game behind both Mercyhurst and Gannon.

OL coach Trickett

to Glenville State

Former Florida State offensive line coach Rick Trickett is returning to his alma mater, joining the staff of new coach Mike Kellar at Division II Glenville State.

Glenville State says Trickett will serve as the assistant head coach, run game coordinator and offensive line coach for the Pioneers. Trickett was Glenville State’s head coach in 1999. He spent a decade as offensive line coach at Florida State and six seasons at West Virginia. His other Division I stops included LSU, Auburn and Mississippi State.

Trickett’s son, Travis, is the tight ends and inside receivers coach at West Virginia. Another son, Clint Trickett, was a quarterback for WVU in 2013 and 2014.

Panthers hire Quenneville

Dale Tallon and Joel Quenneville are together again, and the Florida Panthers are ready for them to recreate their magic.

Quenneville – who is second on the NHL’s all-time victory list – was hired Monday to coach the Panthers, who started their offseason with a splash. It’s also a reunion, after Tallon hired Quenneville to coach Chicago in 2008 and wound up watching him win three Stanley Cups there in a six-year span.

Tallon wasn’t there for those Chicago titles; he was fired less than a year after delivering Quenneville. Finally, now, he gets a chance to work with Quenneville again.

Quenneville’s hiring was announced less than 36 hours after the Panthers’ season ended.

It’s a bold move for the Panthers, who paid big to get Quenneville – he was owed $6 million for the 2019-20 season by the Blackhawks and it’s believed this deal keeps him in that salary range. It also represents a serious shift in the organization’s thinking, considering five of the last six coaches hired by Florida were first-time head coaches.

O’s Davis sets MLB record for futility

Chris Davis set the major league record for the longest hitless streak by a position player, going 0-for-47 during an unproductive run that began last year.

Baltimore’s highly paid first baseman was retired in his first three trips to the plate Monday night against Oakland, leaving him hitless in 26 at-bats this season. Combined with his 0-for-21 finish last year, Davis broke the mark previously held by Los Angeles Dodgers infielder Eugenio Velez for the lengthiest run of futility by a non-pitcher, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

Velez went hitless in 46 straight at-bats, his last nine of the 2010 season and then 0 for 37 in 2011, the last of his five major league seasons. That enabled him to eclipse the previous longest hitless streak, shared by Pittsburgh’s Bill Bergen (1909), Dave Campbell of San Diego and St. Louis (1973) and Milwaukee’s Craig Counsell (earlier in 2011).

The dubious record now belongs to Davis, who is in the fourth season of a $161 million, seven-year contract.
