IRONPIGS DROP IN EXTRA INNINGS

Columbus outfielder Nick Weglarz had struck out three times and walked in four at-bats when he stepped in to the batters box in the bottom of the 11th inning.

Hitting just a hair over .100, Weglarz delivered a two-out single to score Brian Bixler with the game-winner off of Brian Gordon to push the Clippers past Lehigh Valley 3-2.

The IronPigs had taken a 2-0 lead when shortstop Brian Bocock hit his first home run of the season in the top of the fifth inning. Columbus rallied to tie in the bottom half of the inning keyed by their only extra base hit of the game -- a Josh Rodriguez' double.

The loss ends a two game win streak for Lehigh Valley. Brandon Duckworth (1-0, 1.80 ERA) will try to get the IronPigs back on track when he squares off against for Phillies minor league prospect Carlos Carrasco (2-2, 3.86).

PHILLIES GAME DELAYED

NEW YORKA member of security at Citi Field in New York confirmed that a suspicious package has been found at the stadium today.

Two cops were seen walking through the press box with a dog around 3:30 this afternoon, and writers were not allowed to leave the press box. Fans in the section below the press box were escorted away.

The tarp was on the field and the game did not start on time. It was raining, although not very hard.

Two men could be seen from the press box taking X-rays of the suspicious package that was about 30 feet outside and to the left of where the sports writers sit.

Within about 25 minutes, fans were allowed back to their seats and security informed several writers that everything was OK.

The game finally started around 9:05 p.m.

FROM THE MORNING CALL

INCIDENT

FROM ROSS NUNAMAKER

Got a note from a reader about a very disturbing incident that took place on Friday night. An individual threw a homemade bomb into a reader’s pick up truck. It exploded and did significant damage due to the chemicals in the bomb. It happened at 10:45 pm in Farmview Estates, and police were notified. The bomb was made of a caustic substance, like draino, and mixed with others and foil balls for a ‘blast’ effect. It was all enclosed in a plastic bottle, capped and thrown into the vehicle. The warning from the police is that they sometimes explode on impact, other times after several minutes, but either way should be cleaned immediately to avoid damage from the chemicals.


If you have any information, contact police, but also be careful if you find any capped, filled, bottles in or around your property.

COMCAST SPORTSNET NETWORKS IN CHICAGO AND PHILADELPHIA

MAKE THEIR OWN STANLEY CUP WAGER

Comcast SportsNet networks in Chicago and Philadelphia, respectively the home of the Stanley Cup-contenting Blackhawks and Flyers, have made a wager to defend their hometown pride in the 2010 Stanley Cup Final.

If the Philadelphia Flyers are victors, Comcast SportsNet Chicago will serve Deep Dish Pizzas from the world-famous Giordano’s to Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia employees. Should the Chicago Blackhawks win the 2010 Stanley Cup, Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia will serve authentic Philly Cheese Steaks from the award-winning Campos, to Comcast SportsNet Chicago employees.

“The Flyers have blown us all away on their journey to the Stanley Cup Final, and we look forward to enjoying some deep dish pizza from our friends in the Windy City,” said Brian Monihan, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia.

“As much as we’re sure our friends in Philly would love a free lunch on us, we are definitely looking forward to a ‘Taste of Philadelphia’ in our offices come next month,” quipped James J. Corno, President of Comcast SportsNet Chicago.

Both networks are providing comprehensive coverage of the Stanley Cup playoffs to fans in their markets, including specials and features, pre- and postgame coverage, and “Behind Enemy Lines” reports featuring insights and analysis from experts from the other network. Individual program lineups will vary for each network. The networks’ pre- and post game programming through the 2010 playoffs has attracted a combined average audience of 111,000 Chicago and Philadelphia sports fans, including on nights when games have aired on other outlets.

VIEWERSHIP: NBC Sports is averaging 1.89 million viewers for its NHL playoff coverage, the most for broadcast TV in the U.S. through three rounds of the Stanley Cup Playoffs since 2002 (2.31 million on ABC) and up five percent over last year. Sunday’s game featuring the Blackhawks’ series-clinching win over the San Jose Sharks averaged 2.5 million viewers, up 19 percent from last year’s comparable game (2.1 million).

STANLEY CUP HISTORY: The Blackhawks, the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference, are making their first trip to the Stanley Cup Final since 1992 when they were swept by the Pittsburgh Penguins. Chicago has not won the Stanley Cup since 1961 and their 49 years without a title is the longest active drought in the league.

The Flyers, the No. 7 seed in the Eastern Conference, are back in the Final for the first time since they were swept by the Detroit Red Wings in 1997. Philadelphia has not won the Stanley Cup championship since they were repeat champs in 1974-75.

Both teams have lost their last five Final appearances. The Flyers are 2-5 all time in the Final, while Chicago is 3-7.

OLYMPIANS COMPETING FOR THE CUP: Ten players on the rosters of the Blackhawks (six) and Flyers (four) competed in the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games. Of the 10, five won gold for Canada, one claimed silver for Team USA, one earned bronze for Finland, and two competed for bronze with Slovakia but lost to Finland. One player competed for Latvia.

GOLD – CANADA

Blackhawks: Duncan Keith, Brent Seabrook & Jonathan Toews

Flyers: Chris Pronger & Mike Richards

SILVER – USA

Blackhawks: Patrick Kane

BRONZE – FINLAND

CONFERENCE CALL: The NHL today conducted a media conference call with, among others, Emrick, McGuire and Milbury to preview the Final. Highlights follow:

MCGUIRE ON THE MATCHUP: “This is going to be a whole lot of nasty…It’s going to be great hockey. It’s everything you want. You’ve got two sizzling cauldrons here in Chicago and back in Philadelphia. It’s going to be a ton of fun to watch.”
MILBURY ON THE MATCHUP: “(Chicago is) a quick, puck-moving group in contrast with a bigger, stronger Philadelphia group. They match up pretty well. It’s going to be a longer series, more than people realize.”


EMRICK ON PHILADELPHIA: “The fact that they could rally and still be able to have some skin left on their teeth by the time they got through the last game is a real achievement.”
EMRICK ON CHICAGO’S ORGANIZATION: “This team is very progressive in terms of getting out there, showing the quality products that it has…When you start winning games and start having 100-point seasons like they have in the past two years, that shows they are really tremendous.”
MCGUIRE ON PHILADEPHIA’S MIKE RICHARDS: “He’s the ultimate leader.”

MILBURY ON CHICAGO: “The one fact that’s in the favor of Chicago is their team speed. It was outstanding throughout the playoffs.”
MCGUIRE ON PHILADELPHIA’S DANNY BRIERE: “This playoff season, he’s been phenomenal. He’s been a major reason why — a lot like Mike Richards — they’ve been able to survive.”
MCGUIRE: “Jonathan Toews is a no-nonsense kind of leader.”

EMRICK ON TOEWS: “There’s no panic in his game whatsoever. He’s a terrific player.”

BAD STORMS EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON

Thunderstorms forecast for this afternoon could bring strong winds, torrential downpours and large hail to the region, according to the National Weather Service's Mt. Holly, N.J., station.

The hazardous weather outlook for eastern Pennsylvania, including the Lehigh Valley and Philadelphia regions, as well as Delaware, new Jersey and northeast Maryland says the main threat will be mainly damaging winds and large hail. However, heavy rain could produce localized flooding problems and a coastal flood advisory goes into effect tonight from 6-11 p.m. for southern and central New Jersey.

The weather could be very active today with a cold front coming from Central Connecticut across eastern New York and two low pressure systems off the New Jersey coast.

A report from northern New Jersey said skies suddenly darkened and skies picked up around 8 this morning, indicating the storms are starting to arrive into the region.

The National Weather Service says storms generally will be moving northeast to southwest, which is not the typical pattern for our area.

The more severe activity is expected west of the Interstate 95 corridor, where the precipitation pattern is likely to linger into Saturday or about a half day longer than forecasters expected earlier this week.

For the Lehigh Valley, the National Weather Service says the showers and thunderstorms will arrive mainly after 2 p.m. today, with the greatest likelihood for showers and thunderstorms tonight before midnight.

Temperatures are expected to be in the mid-80s today, but will fall to below 60 degrees tonight as the cold front arrives.

Temperatures should be in the low- to mid-70s tomorrow and Saturday. There continues to be a chance for showers and mostly cloudy skies both days

Sun and warmer temperatures are expected to break out Sunday and Memorial Day, with highs forecast to be 83-85 degrees. A chance for showers and thunderstorms returns Tuesday night and Wednesday.

Lehigh's Rackley considered one of the top FCS offensive linemen in country

Lehigh senior captain Will Rackley has been named one of the top ten FCS (Football Championship Subdivision) offensive linemen for

the upcoming season, it was recently announced by the Sports Network.

A two time All-League selection Rackley is widely considered to be the top tackle in the entire Patriot League as well as one of the best in the nation. A starter since his freshman season Rackley is the lone Patriot League student-athlete on the list.



A native of Georgia, Rackley earned First-Team All-Patriot League accolades in each of the last two seasons, and he added All-America honors to his resume following the 2009 campaign after the Associated Press named him to its Third-Team. The Sports Network had this to say about the Mountain Hawks left tackle:



Standing 6-4, 310 pounds, Rackley is the strongest player on the Mountain Hawks roster. He can bench press 440 pounds nd he uses the strength wisely on the field. He's active on the line and understands how to play the left tackle position. He has made the All-Patriot League First Team in each of the past two seasons.



The Sports Network also listed several games pitting top-ten offensive linemen against one another during the upcoming season and the first contest will be Lehigh's clash with defending national champion Villanova on September 11 at Goodman Stadium. Villanova left tackle Ben Ijalana is listed as the top offensive lineman in the country by the Sports Network.



Rackley and his Mountain Hawk teammates will open preseason camp in early August with the 2010 season opener slated for Saturday, September 4 as Lehigh travels to Des Moines, Iowa to take on the Drake Bulldogs.
