Pirates trade Ngoepe to Toronto

The Pittsburgh Pirates have announced that the Toronto Blue Jays have acquired infielder Gift  Ngoepe from the Pirates. There was no room on the Pirates  as the club goes about trimming its 40-man rosters in advance of the Rule 5 draft. A player to be named later or cash will head to Pittsburgh in return.

Ngoepe, 27, became the first African-born player to reach the majors when he debuted in 2017. Though he moved around in Pittsburgh, Ngoepe has spent the bulk of his minor-league time at shortstop and is regarded as a proficient middle infielder.

Ngoepe could function as an optionable utility piece in Toronto.

80-Year-Old Wampum Woman Killed In Neshannock Township Crash

An 80-year-old woman was killed in a car crash in Lawrence County on Sunday afternoon. It happened just before 3 p.m. on I-376 in Neshannock Township.
State police say two vehicles were traveling east on the road when the 16-year-old driver of a car in the left-hand lane lost control and crashed into a car in the right-hand lane. The car that was in the left-hand lane went off the road and stopped in a grassy area. The car that was in the right-hand lane crashed into a guiderail then crashed into a tree. The driver and passenger of that car were transported to UPMC Jameson. The passenger — 80-year-old Donna Nelson, of Wampum, Pa. — was pronounced dead at the hospital. Police say Nelson was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash. Both drivers were wearing their seat belts. The investigation is ongoing.

3A WPIAL Championship: Quaker Valley 2, Aliquippa 0

The weather made the turf at Heinz Field sloppy.

The play on the field made the the turf at Heinz Field look like a showroom floor.

There were more penalties and turnovers than points, as an early 2nd-quarter safety provided the meager difference in Quaker Valley’s first ever WPIAL Championship victory in football; a 2-0 victory over the Aliquippa Quips.

Bob Barrickman has the recap from Heinz Field:

 

Quaker Valley, despite four turnovers, improves to 12-1 and will play either Sharon or Forest Hills in the PIAA 3A Semfinal on December 1 or 2. Aliquippa loses in the WPIAL title game for the 2nd consecutive year.

M.J. Devonshire (Aliquippa) and Ryan Jackovic (Quaker Valley) were selected as the CCBC Players of the Game.

Steel Valley 13 vs Riverside 10 11-17-17

   

Tonight’s playoff game between steel valley and riverside was a nail bitter almost the whole game. Neither team was able to put up any points in the first quarter at all. During the second riverside was able to finally get a touchdown with the extra point. The third quarter of this game was completely on the defense. Neither team was able to get even a first down the entire quarter. Steel Valley was able to tie the game up late into the fourth. In the closing moments of the fourth riverside attempted to get off a field goal but unfortunately it was no good. In overtime riverside was able to get a field goal on they’re first drive making it Riverside 10 Steel Valley 7. Very shortly after that Steel Valley was able to complete a touchdown on they’re drive and ending the game with a final of Steel Valley 13 Riverside 10.
