Betts: BMOC - Kilbreath beats ex-UBC mates, Anderson, Krahn
“It was a start Tyson Kilbreath had been thinking about for months.
On paper, Saturday’s showdown between NAIA No. 15 Arizona Christian University and No. 10 University of British Columbia was an early season ranked matchup in what’s a lengthy college campaign.
But for Kilbreath (Calgary, Alta.), it was an opportunity to face his former team.
The Webber Academy Wildcats graduate spent the 2023-24 season in Vancouver with the Thunderbirds, making 11 relief appearances before transferring to the College of the Sequoias and eventually ACU. “

McFarland: Hartman moving up Braves’ prospects ranks
“You would be hard-pressed to find a more memorable opening weekend of professional baseball than the one Eric Hartman had.
Hitting cleanup for the Augusta GreenJackets as the Single-A affiliate of the Atlanta Braves hosted the Columbia Fireflies, the 2024 20th round MLB draft pick was already 1-for-3 with a single, walk and run scored when he came up to bat in the seventh inning.
With a runner on and facing right-hander Ismail Michel, Hartman launched a rocket to right field that cleared the fence and added some insurance for the GreenJackets in taking an 11-7 lead.”
