Baseball/softball notebook: Burlington girls up to 4th in Power Rankings

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:18:14 GMT

Behind Boston Herald all-scholastic pitcher Cece Imbimbo, Burlington finds itself in contention for a Div. 2 state title as the Red Devils enter the final quarter of the season with a 13-2 record and the No. 4 seed in the latest MIAA Power Rankings.“Our goal is to win games in the state tournament, but we’re still figuring things out,” Burlington coach Kristin Farrell said. “When our pitching is playing at a high level we have to come through and be better offensively.”When Imbimbo is on the mound the Red Devils defense has been mostly able to breath easy. The senior is averaging double-digit strikeouts, has thrown consecutive no-hitters, and fanned 20 on Tuesday in a win over Watertown. Third baseman Cassidy Soohoo, second baseman Madison King, and center fielder Morgan Ryan are at the center of the Red Devils lineup while Shea McDonald has turned into the leadoff hitter after not starting a season ago.Freshman Izzy Ortiz has provided heroics including...

Pat Leonard: Amazon’s New York preference helped land Jets in Black Friday slot

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:18:14 GMT

The Jets landed on the NFL’s first-ever Black Friday game on Prime Video in part because Amazon wanted a New York football team playing on the biggest shopping day of the year.“Amazon did reach out to us and suggested ‘maybe, as we’re the retail leader in this space and New York is the biggest market and the No. 1 retail market, maybe a game in New York might be a fun way to introduce this concept,’” NFL VP of broadcast planning Mike North said in a conference call on Friday. “We did look at Eagles-Giants. We looked at a Jets home game. But we looked at other games, as well.”North said some people in the league liked the idea of a Chiefs-Raiders game in that spot.“Black Friday in the Black Hole,” he said.The Cincinnati Bengals also volunteered to host the game and make it an annual tradition, which is something North said the NFL will “explore.”Unquestionably, acquiring Aaron Rodgers landed the Jets their five p...

North Carolina governor vetoes abortion limits, launches override showdown

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:18:14 GMT

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — In front of an exuberant crowd, North Carolina’s Democratic governor vetoed legislation Saturday that would have banned nearly all abortions in his state after 12 weeks of pregnancy. Hundreds of abortion-rights activists and voters watched on a plaza in the capital of Raleigh as Gov. Roy Cooper affixed his veto stamp to the bill. The veto launches a major test for leaders of the GOP-controlled General Assembly to attempt to override Cooper’s veto after they recently gained veto-proof majorities in both chambers. The bill was the Republican response to last year’s U.S. Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade.“We’re going to have to kick it into an even higher gear when that veto stamp comes down,” Cooper told the crowd. “If just one Republican in either the House or the Senate keeps a campaign promise to protect women’s reproductive health, we can stop this ban.”Andrea Long, a 42-year-old mother of three from Cary, said she was honored be part of an ...

ISTANBUL (AP) — Turkish politicians held their final rallies on the last hours of campaigning before Saturday, the eve of pivotal presidential and parliamentary elections that could significantly shape the NATO member’s future, before a so-called propaganda ban went into effect. President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who is facing the toughest challenge ever in his two decades of power, spoke at three neighborhood rallies in Istanbul, Turkey’s biggest city.His main challenger is Kemal Kilicdaroglu of the pro-secular, center-left CHP (the Republican People’s Party), who is the joint candidate of six opposition parties. He held his final rally in the capital, Ankara, on Friday in the pouring rain. On Saturday, he and some of his supporters visited the mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of modern Turkey and of the CHP. On Friday, Erdogan dismissed speculation that he wouldn’t cede power if he lost, calling the question “very ridiculous.” In an interview with more than...
