I'll Have Another Wins Another—at Preakness
With Pimlico triumph, I'll Have Another keeps Triple Crown dream alive.
I’ll Have Another proved the skeptics wrong by winning the Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course on Saturday in exactly the same way he won the Kentucky Derby two weeks ago. The Kentucky-bred chestnut colt chased down pre-race favorite Bodemeister in the stretch crossing the finish line first by a neck. In the process, I'll Have Another kept alive hopes for horse racing’s first Triple Crown champion in more than three decades. “More than anything, I’m glad I didn’t disappoint people,” said Mario Gutierrez, I’ll Have Another’s jockey. “Like I say, it’s not about me. It is about the horse. From day one, I’ve believed in him. I’m so happy for him because he’s just a great horse.” Affirmed, in 1978, was the last colt to capture the …

Weigh In On Orioles vs. Nationals
The surprise success of the Orioles and Nationals has the region buzzing.
The Orioles and Nationals "rivalry" has required quotations through the first few years of interleague play around the beltway. This year is different. Entering the three-game weekend set, beginning Friday night at Nationals Park, the two clubs are battling atop their divisions against clubs with star-studded rosters and larger payrolls. So as one of the most important series between these neighboring ball clubs gets underway, the Patch sites in the Maryland area are curious: who are you pulling for in this year's Battle of the Beltway? Are you cheering for Bryce Harper and the Nationals? Or are you behind Adam Jones and the Orioles? While we're at it, which team do you think stands the best chance of staying in the pennant race late into …

Little League Player Nails Unassisted Triple Play
A 7-year-old White Marsh baseball player completed a rare play last week.
OUTSIDE BALTIMORE, MD -- If only Little League had instant replay. Cristian Banks, a 7-year-old Fullerton Elementary student, completed a rare unassisted triple play on May 3. Coach Marty Neff, who has been involved with the White Marsh Recreation Council for the past 10 years, said it was the first time he's seen it done by one of his players. It's unusual outside of Little League, as well. According to MLB.com, only 15 unassisted triple plays have been recorded in Major League Baseball history. Share your favorite moments in kids' sports in the comments. Neff described the play, which lasted only seconds: "With the bases loaded and Cristian playing third base, the batter hit a line drive that Cristian moved to his right to catch for the …

Lansdowne Baseball in Search of Some Respect
Despite appearing in the state finals a year ago and putting together a sterling regular season record in 2012, the Vikings are still flying under the radar among local media outlets.
After an appearance in the state finals a year ago and an 11-2 start—including a sparkling 10-1 division record—in 2012, Lansdowne varsity baseball is establishing themselves as a formidable power in Baltimore County. En route to outscoring their opponents a combined 108-32 this season, the Vikings have figured out how to jump out on teams early, come back when need be to secure leads late and step up defensively to shut the proverbial door. One thing Lansdowne cannot comprehend, however, is what it’s going to take for them to get recognition from local media outlets who, despite the Vikings blistering start, have left them out of their rankings time and time again. But, rather than sulk over feeling left out, Lansdowne is taking what they…

VIDEO: Half-Naked Orioles Fan Slides into Home Plate
Christopher E. Fatkin, 20, allegedly ran onto the field of an Orioles game during the seventh-inning stretch on Friday night.
PERRY HALL, Md.—Umpire Jeff Kellogg is being hailed a hero after he tackled a shirtless man during the seventh-inning stretch at Camden Yards Friday night. A family member has confirmed that the alleged streaker, 20-year-old Christopher E. Fatkin of Parkville, was arrested after the incident. YouTube videos show Fatkin sliding into home plate before his run-in with Kellogg. "Kellogg chased him down from behind, wrapped him with both arms and took him to the warning track with an open-field tackle," Patch editor Sean Welsh reported for MLB.com. Fatkin graduated from Perry Hall High School in 2010. According to his Facebook profile, he is a member of the reggae/rock band Sensible Roots. Tell us what you thought about the dramatic tackle in …

Why do we continue to "reward" people who do things in bad taste with attention and free press. If the Sun used its free space to give more acknowledgement to deserving athletes . . . local, high school, etc., rather than dunces, fewer acts of disruption might result. more ›

Lansdowne Softball Eyes Return Trip to States
With a roster equipped with several fresh faces as well as a few familiar ones, the Vikings are gaining momentum for another playoff run.
One may think that after losing six starters from a team that made it all the way to the state finals last year, Lansdowne varsity softball may have considered reducing their expectations in 2012. Well, whomever thought that, thought wrong. After consecutive wins over Catonsville, Patapsco and Kenwood this week, the Vikings (9-4) appear to be heating up at just the right time as they gear up for what could be another deep run in the post season. However, even at the beginning of the year, Lansdowne felt a return trip to College Park was well in reach. “I told them I wanted them to make the goals this year. They came out from the get go and they said that they wanted to go back to states,” head coach Jamie Izdebski said. “It was …
