PITTSBURGH (AP) — Gregory Polanco turned boos into cheers with the decisive two-run double during an eight-run seventh inning and the Pittsburgh Pirates rallied for an 11-7 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. Polanco’s double put the Pirates ahead for good at 9-7 and was one of six straight hits off reliever Genesis Cabrera. Down 7-3 going into the seventh, the Pirates tied it with two-run singles by Bryan Reynolds and Wilmer Difo. Polanco then one-hopped the left-center field wall with his double before pinch-hitter Yoshi Tsutsugo capped the outburst with a two-run home run.
Beaver County Radio has been covering sports in Beaver County for over 70 years, and over the last 30, Coaches Corner has become an integral part of that tradition. Every week during the football and basketball seasons, hosts like Bob Barrickman, Tom Hays, Bruce Frey and Jason Colangelo would interview coaches, players, and even the occasional referee to get insight into that week’s games, key strategies, and overall outlook on the games and life itself.
It’s a tough task to incorporate three decades (and more) of Beaver County sports history into one night, but Beaver County Radio did just that on August 26 at Kelly’s Riverside Saloon in Bridgewater.
The aforementioned Bob Barrickman and Jason Colangelo were the anchors for the evening’s festivities at Kelly’s, featuring over two hours of conversation with some of the most storied coaches in County history, players who have performed at the highest levels of competition during their careers in WPIAL & PIAA action, and the men in stripes who kept everything in line for decades as referees on the game’s biggest stages.
Along with the sports figures who came down to Kelly’s, a few broadcasting titans made the trip down for the Coaches Corner celebration. Gene Steratore (longtime NFL referee and current CBS Sports analyst) and Mary Ours (KDKA-TV meteorologist and Beaver Falls native) joined Bob and Jason to talk about their beginnings in Western Pennsylvania and how they got to their current positions. Plus, longtime Beaver County Radio broadcaster–not to mention Beaver County Sports Hall Of Famer–Tom Hays stopped by to reminisce about his favorite memories calling and covering games, including many of the nights he was co-hosting Coaches Corner.
Kelly’s Riverside Saloon provided the food for the dozens of radio guests and patrons alike, under the guise and guidance of manager Amanda Yerage, who–along with her father Ed (longtime WPIAL referee) and owner John Kelly–played a crucial part in allowing Beaver County Radio and all of the guests on Coaches Corner have a night of unforgettable memories…a night itself that will never be forgotten.
Part of the reason that it will never be forgotten is the fact that it is archived on our Facebook page and can be seen by clicking below:
