Unified Sports programs have been developed in many states across the country and the New Hampshire Interscholastic Athletic Association (NHIAA) is one of the latest state associations to become involved with its programs in track and field, soccer, basketball and volleyball.
“We started three years ago with soccer, basketball and outdoor track. We have now added volleyball,” said Pat Corbin, NHIAA executive director.
Two softball players from Texas – Tori Vidales of La Porte High School and Jamie Madison of Groesbeck High School – recently hit four home runs in a single game and accomplished the feat three days apart.
On Friday night, the Indianapolis Indians pulled out a 6-5 victory over the Pawtucket Red Sox by the skin of their teeth or rather with a walk off, RBI single by Chris McGuiness.
On the last business day of February 2014, the United States Department of Labor reported that there were 4.9 million job openings. Through the NFHS Career Center, the National Federation of State High School Associations has capitalized on the opportunity to post jobs for those looking to work in a high school athletic department.
The rain ended the Indianapolis Indians’ 6-2 victory against the Pawtucket Red Sox on Tuesday night in the sixth inning. It also halted Gregory Polanco’s chance at hitting the home run he needed to complete the cycle.
In the end, though, the Tribe was victorious for the third straight game – a pleasant sight after losing every game for a week.
The Indianapolis Indians let the International League know that they were back – and back with a vengeance – with a 14-3 win over the Norfolk Tides to split the weekend series spanning Friday to Monday.
The Indianapolis Indians celebrated more than just Mother’s Day on Sunday afternoon as they snapped their seven game losing streak with a 5-2 victory over the Norfolk Tides.
It’s been a week of heartache as the Indianapolis Indians lose seven straight games – one to the Pawtucket Red Sox, a four-game series sweep by the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders and most recently two against the Norfolk Tides.
In the third game of a four game series against the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, the Indianapolis Indians found themselves on the losing end of a pitcher’s duel.
Tribe starter Brandon Cumpton pitched seven innings giving up two runs, neither earned, on five hits. He walked one batter and struck out three. This was Cumpton’s first loss of the season.
Tyler Waldron helped the Indianapolis Indians win again on Sunday, in his first Triple-A start against the Syracuse Chiefs.
Waldron was called up to play with the Indians after Casey Salder was called up by the Pittsburgh Pirates earlier in the day to help add some depth to the Pirates’ bullpen. Entering the game, Waldron had 10.2 scoreless innings pitched this season with Double-A Altoona. His final line was four innings, one run on two hits with five strikeouts and one walk.
After former Cincinnati Reds’ outfielder Eric Davis threw out the first pitch, the Indianapolis Indians took the field against the Syracuse Chiefs and turned Saturday night into a memorable baseball game. A three-run ninth inning capped off with a single by Michael Martinez drove in the Tribe’s winning run to put them up 6-5 over the Chiefs.
One of the popular promotions at Victory Field is “Signature Saturdays.” The Indianapolis Indians hosted former Cincinnati Reds outfielder Eric Davis on April 26 prior to a game against the Syracuse Chiefs.
Davis had a short stint with the Indians in 1983. He appeared in 19 games with the Tribe, batting .299 (23-for-77) with 18 runs, seven homers, 19 RBIs and nine steals.
The Indianapolis Indians dropped the final game of the four-game road series against the Toledo Mud Hens on Friday night, by a score of 6-7 in the 11th inning.
Gregory Polanco continues to impress for the Indianapolis Indians. This time it was against the Toledo Mud Hens on Thursday night.
In the Tribe’s 7-5 victory, Polanco was 3-for-4 and was just a triple shy of hitting for the cycle. Thursday night was his 11th multi-hit game of the season.
The Indianapolis Indians turned to Jay Jackson for a spot start against the Toledo Mud Hens on Wednesday night.
Jackson’s pitching was on-point, but what happened with the Tribe’s offense hasn’t happened this season as they were held scoreless by the Mud Hens in an 0-2 shutout loss.
An impressive start by pitcher Casey Sadler and another phenomenal performance by Gregory Polanco helped lift the Indianapolis Indians in a wild 11-6 victory over the Toledo Mud Hens on Tuesday night.
The Indianapolis Indians, the only Pittsburgh Pirates affiliate team to play on Easter Sunday, earned their first series loss of the season to the Louisville Bats, as they were defeated 4-2 on Saturday and 5-1 on Sunday before earning the extra-inning walk-off victory on Monday night.
It seems as though the Bats are the team that is most difficult for the Tribe to beat at home – pulling out Monday night’s victory by the skin of their teeth, after dropping games one and two of the series.
The Indianapolis Indians are seeking the franchise’s first back-to-back-to-back International League (IL) West Division championships and just the second three-peat title in team history. A tall order at first glance, but with 11 wins in their first 16 games, claiming a spot in the record books may not be such a pipe dream.
Acts of sportsmanship by the schools in the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA) do not go unrecognized. Each year, since 1991, the FHSAA has awarded schools that display exemplary sportsmanship with the Fred E. Rozelle Sportsmanship Award.
