ExpandBradley's 315 Sports Park will open this weekend as it hosts 50 boys' travel baseball teams at the new state-of-the-art complex. (Tiffany Blanchette) BRADLEY – The first pitch at the 315 Sports Park flew across home plate at about 6 p.m. Friday. While it was delivered by a youngster and was nothing more than the best fastball the hurler could muster, it was historic nonetheless – weather permitting, of course. When the brand new baseball crossed home plate it ushered in a dramatically new era, specifically for Bradley, and generally for Kankakee County, in terms of youth sports and economic development. The age-old, two-word expression commonly tossed about in baseball parks across the United States – Play ball! – has taken on a far greater meaning than anyone could have ever imagined. In an effort to capitalize on the revenue stream of youth baseball, softball and soccer, Bradley, when all is said and done, will have invested some $47 million in constructing a youth sports complex unlike any other within Kankakee County or in any other complex in this entire region. This weekend, 50 teams representing travel baseball teams both local and from afar converged at 315 Sports Park, the nearly 127-acre, 12-fully-turfed field complex immediately east of the Bradley Commons shopping center. A site which only two years ago was a farm owned by Bourbonnais’ Jerry Alexander is now a new mecca for youth baseball, softball and soccer. That description comes from John Pieritz, of Moline-based JP Sports and Entertainment, the company in charge of recruiting and hosting youth games at the site. “The impact these parks have on a local community is unreal. What has been built in Bradley is unbelievable. Bradley did not hold back. Teams will be blown away,” Pieritz said. While weekend No. 1 will attract 50 teams of 9 to 14 year olds. Weekend No. 2, from May 9-11, the slate will grow to 74. There will be a constant uptick in teams as summer draws closer and as all 12 fields become ready for play. The first weekend will have six fields hosting games. The 41-year-old Pieritz, who has an admitted love affair with all things baseball, said by the last weekend of June, there are 148 teams scheduled to converge on Bradley. The weekend of the 50th annual Bourbonnais Friendship Festival, there could be as many as 8,000 players, coaches, umpires, family, friends and casual spectators headed to Bradley to watch baseball. Pieritz estimated some 2,000 families could be on hand the last weekend of June. “That’s the impact these facilities can have. When these are done right, they can be very successful and Bradley has done it right,” he said. It will be up to team JP Sports to turn Bradley’s creation into a local economic engine. While Bradley leadership will keep its eyes focused on the park’s operation, it will be up to JP Sports to manage the bats and balls. In its simplest form, Bradley built and owns the site; JP Sports will bring in the teams and the umpires. They will be in charge of all things baseball and softball, including supplying the actual baseballs and softballs. Bradley makes its money through the rental of the playing fields. Bradley finance director Rob Romo said the weekend’s play will bring the village $10,000 in rental fees. Through this first season, he is estimating the village will pull in $300,000. Income will grow in subsequent years, the thought is, as word spreads and as more teams seek to play here. “We will do our best to make this place a success,” Pieritz said. He said success is not guaranteed, of course, but Bradley has put everything in place to make it a success. “The people of Bradley get it. This is a first-class facility,” he said. Pieritz and his crew manage complexes across the Midwest. Bradley is just part of their portfolio. “We take this very seriously,” he said of the company founded in 2010. “We have to put on a good event. We do it the right way. We’ve built a reputation and people trust us.” It was only two summers ago, these acres were growing corn and soybeans. The farm was owned by Alexander. Bradley Mayor Mike Watson had an idea. He approached Alexander about the availability of the land. The 126.3-acre plot was purchased in April 2023 by Bradley for $2,550,250, or $20,192 an acre. Watson never looked back. Alexander may have. “I think I sold it too cheap,” he said with a chuckle earlier this week. Alexander has visited the site throughout the construction process. Each visit he said he leaves more impressed. With development only started about 13 months ago, the speed and development have left Alexander nearly speechless. “Watson has so much foresight,” Alexander said. “He’s done so much for Bradley.” But will it be successful? Alexander said he has no idea. This type of development is out of his field of expertise. “I do know this: This property is totally transformed. I believe this will be great for everyone. I’m just amazed,” he said of the location he had owned for some eight years. He said the property was initially targeted to be a housing subdivision. When the housing market tanked in 2008, so did that plan. He eventually acquired it and had it farmed. He simply bided his time. Watson said the past 18 months have been filled with more decisions than any baseball manager could possibly juggle. He said there will most certainly be an error or two made along the way, but even Gold Glove shortstops botch a grounder every now and then. He said this first year will come with many learning opportunities. The mayor could be more relieved to see fields ready for game action. “Let me say this: I’m happy to get this off our plate,” Watson said of construction. “There will be issues. I know that. We will learn much this first year.” One thing learned was the cost of construction headed north in a significant way. He had initially targeted a $30 million price tag. Well known for his number-crunching skills, Watson missed the mark by a whopping 50%. Prices crept up. So did development ideas. He said the idea was to build the complex correctly the first time. The site features walking paths, a full-service restaurant, two other food preparation sites at opposite ends of the property, two ponds and a children’s playground, among other features. He is confident this will be the premier youth sports complex in the upper Midwest. “It’s class,” Watson said. “We set out to be the premier site. I want this to be the destination of choice.” Copyright © 2023 Shaw Local News Network Gigi Hadid has hard-launched her relationship with Bradley Cooper on Instagram more than a year after they started dating Gigi Hadid has hard-launched her relationship with boyfriend Bradley Cooper on social media a little over a week after the star-studded event "I feel so lucky to be 30!"

as Liverpool's first-choice right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold's announcement that he will leave Liverpool this summer has reopened the question as to whether the club have a ready-made replacement in Conor Bradley Bradley did replace Alexander-Arnold for the final half-hour of Sunday's 3-1 defeat at Chelsea Liverpool's first match since being confirmed as Premier League champions but whether he can do it every week from next season is up for consideration here The outstanding quality shown by Alexander-Arnold since emerging from the Liverpool Academy to make his debut in 2016 marks him down as one of the best it feels a little unfair on 21-year-old Bradley to draw firm parallels As far as this season has been concerned though the Northern Irishman has shown a little more attacking dynamism than his vastly experienced team-mate Bradley has displayed plenty of ambition and attacking zest and is perhaps more comfortable at running with the ball at his feet That drive has taken Bradley into the opposition penalty area with far greater frequency than Alexander-Arnold averaging six touches in that domain per 90 minutes This is way in advance of the England international A prime example of what Bradley brings to the side was seen when he produced his first assist of the campaign for Luis Diaz away to Fulham to demand a pass that freed him up in space down the centre of the pitch carrying the ball to the edge of the box before slipping Diaz in for a shot on goal It was a quality piece of play that marks him out as being different in style to Alexander-Arnold a player who tends to hurt rival teams more with his brilliant passing Liverpool head coach Arne Slot has been less inclined than predecessor Jurgen Klopp to ask Alexander-Arnold to take up central midfield positions But it is the younger man who powers on up the pitch with a lot more regularity when you analyse the Englishman’s heat map and compare it with Bradley’s below Trent is more inclined to drift further infield and he does more defensive work inside his own box than Bradley When it comes to whipping dangerous crosses into the box opening up the opposition with an incisive pass or switching the point of attack with a raking long ball there is no one to compare with Alexander-Arnold he is arguably the world’s best right-back His creative numbers compared to those of Bradley who has played around a quarter of the minutes this season when Alexander-Arnold leaves Liverpool this summer there is no real possibility that Bradley can step in and replicate exactly the same output from right-back A change of style and expectancy would be required from Liverpool’s right-back in 2025/26 This shot and assist graphic signifies what the Reds would be losing in Alexander-Arnold: Alexander-Arnold’s defending has often been unfairly criticised and he has undoubtedly made good strides in that aspect of his play Yet the raw statistics do still tell us that when it comes to duels it is Bradley who offers a touch more reliability and strength The Northern Ireland international wins a greater number of 50-50s and is especially good at pressurising opponents when they have the ball at their feet He will close players down with a lot of enthusiasm In 1v1s it is also the less experienced player who proves tougher to beat with a dribble Alexander-Arnold's many outstanding contributions as a super-creative full-back will live long in the memory of Liverpool’s supporters Given he has helped the club to win eight trophies including this season's Premier League title he should be remembered as an Anfield legend his place in Liverpool’s folklore is assured Yet the 21-year-old does still have plenty to offer even if it means Slot’s Liverpool will have to compensate in other areas of the pitch for Alexander-Arnold's now-confirmed departure Michael Owen and Steve Cooper discuss the top-five race and who they think will be in the competition next season Your entry has

Lu has been so influenced by his time at the lab, he even proposed and executed a major design experience project for ECE “Development of a novel multifrequency focused ultrasound system for the non-invasive versatile treatment of tumors.” This senior capstone initative expands on the current single frequency use of ultrasound by using high-voltage drivers to create multifrequency histotripsy Lu’s connection to biomedical engineering is rooted in his brother’s DNA Gordon, Lu’s older brother, was born with 22q11.2 deletion, also known as DiGeorge Syndrome a condition that occurs when a small part of chromosome 22 is missing This missing segment includes an estimated 30 to 40 genes that cause several body systems to develop poorly Thomas saw how his family was deeply affected by the syndrome as his brother endured multiple hospital visits and generalized tonic-clonic seizures It was during one of these particularly difficult seizures that Lu realized his calling: to help people like his brother “I’m interested in advancing minimally and non-invasive treatments for people with nervous system disorders,” Lu said “I believe I’m called to help people with the resources that I’ve been given Engineering is all about identifying problems solving problems with the technology and science that we have.” Virginia Tech demonstrates impact as a global land grant – progressing

and Cooper were first spotted together back in October 2023, with Daily Mail sharing paparazzi photos of the pair leaving an Italian restaurant in the West Village the Hadid and Cooper have been

contemporary romance novels Blalock solid in unexpected return to MajorsMay 4th SAN FRANCISCO -- Other than the two walks he issued leading off the pivotal sixth inning against the Giants on Saturday, Rockies pitcher Bradley Blalock did just about everything that manager Bud Black had hoped for Called up to fill in for injured starter Ryan Feltner after the right-hander was placed on the injured list Blalock pitched five solid and effective innings against the Giants putting him in position to get the win had the Rockies' offense against San Francisco starter Jordan Hicks and four relievers been enough “He threw the ball well,” Black said of Blalock following the Rockies’ 6-3 loss Four pitches well-thrown today by Bradley.” Blalock looked like an experienced veteran on the mound He retired the first seven hitters he faced with ease then made one of his few mistakes during the afternoon when he left a 1-0 hanging slider over the plate that Giants designated hitter Luis Matos crushed for a 392-foot home run The 24-year-old Blalock composed himself and set down seven of the next eight batters When he walked two of the first three Giants hitters in the sixth “I left the slider up to Matos,” Blalock said Blalock struck out four and allowed the Matos homer and a fourth-inning single to Willy Adames The Giants' only other runners against Blalock came on the two walks in the sixth Blalock’s second start this season capped an odd week for the right-hander After opening the season in Colorado’s bullpen Blalock got roughed up in a start against the Cincinnati Reds on April 27 and was optioned to Triple-A Albuquerque afterward He was preparing himself to start in the Minors on Friday when the big league club called him back up to face the Giants “I didn’t think [getting back to the Majors] was going to come this fast,” Blalock said worked on a few things there in a mid-week bullpen and I felt good coming in.” Blalock worked on fundamentals and his form Part of that was focusing on strengthening his back leg in order to get better command of his pitches That’s an encouraging sign for the Rockies whose starting pitching had mixed success over the first 32 games Blalock had only logged seven innings in the Major Leagues this season Although it’s still relatively early in the season the Rockies have had to lean very heavily on their bullpen due to the struggles of the starting five Having a fresh arm like Blalock’s could ease some of that overuse Blalock is almost certain to get at least one more start with the big league club Sign up to receive our daily Morning Lineup to stay in the know about the latest trending topics around Major League Baseball. If not, he knows what the mandate will be when he goes back to the Minors. It’s the same message that club officials told him when he was optioned back to Albuquerque. “Just go down there and be ready for anything,” Blalock said.

and feel as though you’ve never left And then you can drive 90 minutes from Manhattan and feel like you’re in a different country: dense woods warnings tacked to telephone poles cautioning deer hunters against trespassing There might be a few gourmet markets and inns with minimalist but on the January day I visit Gigi Hadid in rural Pennsylvania the only notable landmark I see anywhere near her home is a humble gas station “Welcome!” Hadid shouts from the doorstop of a long low house nestled into the surrounding hills but made with reclaimed materials and wide windows that frame the landscape The spaces inside are clean but scattered with the clutter of parenting and life in general: unopened cardboard boxes and makeup-free—is dressed in black Nike sweatpants and a pullover from her cashmere knitwear line A blanket of snow covers the ground and icicles hang from the eaves but inside the fire is blazing and it seems like every room has a candle lit She has been in the area for about eight years ever since she bought a converted lavender farm with her mother I ask her why she moved out here in the first place—entry-grade small talk but Hadid answers candidly: “It just kind of got to a point in my career where there started to be cameras outside every day in New York And she is direct about the toll: “It got to a place where I would have three days off And that’s very intense.” When I speak by phone to John her head of security for almost a decade (who prefers we only give his first name) he describes a particularly grueling set of days some years back Her plan had been just to hide in her apartment to recover—but that wouldn’t do and he figured out a way to get her to the beach with a friend “The two girls were just in the ocean all day and we drove back to the city later that evening,” John recalls “I think things like that were able to reenergize her to allow her to feel—I really hate to use the word normal but sometimes her world is a little off-center even when I was just trying to put on something casual and go get coffee or go to the pharmacy someone had a comment: Why is she dressed like that She is also blunt about the attention paid to her body: She’s too heavy or She has an eating disorder were the kinds of things she regularly heard “I’ve been called every name in the book,” she says “And so I phoned my mom one day and I was like I need somewhere to go.’ ” We have been together for no more than 20 minutes The experience she is describing may have occurred years ago “I learned the hard way,” Hadid says of the access she offered people early in her career “There were times in the beginning where I gave too much.” (“I didn’t even really know those women,” she says now “you can hit really hard or you can tip”—a softer “And Gigi told me one time—I’ll never forget—‘I’m not tipping whom she met in the elevator of the IMG offices on her way into their meeting let’s talk about our goals for the next five years,’ ” says Mattos who has represented Hadid for more than a decade and the fact that they celebrated that in editorials and on the runway,” Versace says whom she first met in San Francisco on a tour bus in 2013 Weiner and her boyfriend at the time were hanging out “being very rambunctious—very Almost Famous,” Weiner says (“The epitome of a California rock-and-roll artist girlfriend,” is how Hadid describes her first impression of Weiner.) “And I think I kind of immediately became this safe space in this very new environment for her,” Weiner says Weiner had the idea to splatter an 18-year-old Gigi with acrylic paint and shoot her for a series she called Cover, Girl “We put her in my little Chinatown apartment shower She’ll always say it’s the worst she’s ever been treated on a shoot,” Weiner jokes and it was an honor to be in front of anyone’s camera,” counters Hadid “let alone my friend and someone whose art I really loved.” The work but it also was the beginning of our relationship being centered around art.” Their friendship has since been girded by creative projects And then there’s the creative care Hadid applies to her personal life she tells me that she and Khai have recently been picking colors to dress in—head to toe In her bathroom there are plastic tubs filled with toys—for their “shower parties.” A nook under a staircase has been converted into a jungle-​themed play space “I could see Khai was interested in it,” Hadid says of the neglected crawl space ‘I’m going to go to Target and pimp this out.’ ” and their relationship was followed with rabid interest—particularly toward its conclusion (the details of which you can look up though it’s clear from talking to Hadid that they are very much in the past) Hadid flicks through the photos on her phone showing me scenes of Malik holding Khai on the first day of pre-K and describing the innate musicality Khai gets from her father “Zayn and I do our custody schedules months in advance,” Hadid says planning everything around the weeks they have Khai “That doesn’t mean that it doesn’t change here and there but we help each other out and have each other’s backs.” She and Malik have entered this new phase of their partnership with “love accepting—more or less—that their relationship will likely forever be under some kind of microscope “There is the hard part of the world knowing this much and thinking they know everything,” says Hadid we’re not interested in giving everyone our whole story What we are interested in is raising our daughter together She hands me a heavy Carhartt coat to wear outside (my jacket is in the car) Khai likes to talk to him.” Nestled between giant stacks of firewood dreamed up by Hadid; a playhouse that she and Khai painted with pink and white stripes sits next to a climbing gym I see a small stream; in the summer they will scoop clay for pottery from its banks Being a mother “has only made her more of herself,” says Weiner “Gigi doesn’t want to be in a club in the city on a Tuesday night.” Hadid tours me through the craft room where pom-poms and ice-pop sticks and googly eyes are arranged in glass canisters like gumballs at a candy store Khai is able to paint on one of the walls in the room; it seems to have had the effect of preventing a mess elsewhere though this is a house where it feels like a mess might sometimes be encouraged “It’s a beautiful thing she’s done—​created a space out here where she can give Khai the most normal experience possible,” says Adrienne Tosti stay-at-​home-​mom friend,” and Hadid describes Tosti moved to Pennsylvania with her husband when she was pregnant and met Hadid at a local mommy-​and-​me class: “My daughter was in an Elsa nightgown princess dress,” says Tosti “and Khai was also in something Elsa related and they looked at each other and were like we’re on the same page.” She and Hadid spend a large portion of their parenting hours together taking their daughters into the city to visit the Natural History Museum so what are we going to do Monday?” says Tosti Hadid describes hers as a kind of double life a way she has of inhabiting distinct identities from day to day “I joke with my mom friends that I feel like the Hannah Montana of fashion,” she says And I don’t think that seeing me walk into random places around here,” she gestures at the landscape As much as motherhood has given Hadid a life away from modeling it has also helped her chart a path through fame Because she splits her time between Pennsylvania and New York it’s no longer really worth the paparazzi’s time to camp out at her Manhattan apartment she has developed a remarkable degree of equanimity about her own exposure—​“This is part of the job; when you’re a public figure When it comes to Khai, though, she is firm. After her daughter was born, Hadid wrote an open letter to the paparazzi—a moderate plea that requested they obscure Khai’s face “We didn’t grow up walking out of our house thinking What angle could someone be watching me from?” Hadid says “And that’s not something I want to be part of her train of thought.” The letter did not If she notices a photographer while they are in the park and makes a game of it: Let’s see how quickly we can get home life has to load.… It’s different from how socials felt when I was younger It doesn’t come as naturally to me as it did when Instagram started.” Hadid credits therapy and just getting older with helping her balance the people-pleasing hard-working parts of her personality with the desire to “have respect for myself.” She now finds it easier to say no and even finds power in asserting the reason: “I have no regrets I have Khai that week.’ That’s just the boundary I’ve set.” Again Hadid comes to the brink of tears as she describes the life she has built for her daughter in this quiet enclave—the secret jungles and painted playhouses “Khai is protected by our friendships here Hadid drives me to a deli to pick up sandwiches for lunch speeding along the icy roads with confidence chatting about the inauguration (she watched—and thinks it’s important not to stick your head in the sand and has even gone so far as to investigate adult volleyball leagues in the area) and the Broadway shows she’s attended lately (“Sweeney Todd—incredible—for two weeks I was marching around the streets of New York to ‘The Ballad of Sweeney Todd’ ”) Wicked—which she has seen 10 times—is her favorite musical A humble suggestion for Jon Chu: Cast her in one of the sequels “I don’t just want to go act in TV and movies as What she does tell me about this relationship makes it seem like it might not have taken place at an earlier stage in her life. “I think just getting to the point where knowing what you want and deserve in a relationship is essential,” she says, “and then to find someone that is in a place in their life where they know what they want and deserve…and you both do work separately to come together and be the best partner that you can be. I just feel really lucky. Yeah, lucky’s the word. “I respect him so much as a creative,” she continues, “and I feel that he gives so much to me: encouragement and, just, belief. For those people you admire to encourage you, it can create so much belief in yourself. Like, what’s the worst thing if I auditioned for this? You jump and take the leap.” The next day, eight flights up, in a bright, whitewashed studio on the West Side of Manhattan, Gigi Hadid is not quite leaping, but radiating some of the energy of the musical ​theater kid she once was, performing for the camera. “I have always been impressed by Gigi,” says Miuccia Prada, another one of her early champions “She is incredibly professional and charming at the same time She holds a special place not only in the world of fashion and has done so for a long time It is the result of the hard work and the commitment she puts into all she does.” Hadid is shooting the spring-​summer looks for Guest in Residence; the new collection will launch just 10 days later The studio is littered with props: water guns New Balance sneakers with the laces untied The theme of the shoot is “postcard from nowhere,” or shellac it into a Mary Tyler Moore–style flipped-up bob “I’m thinking about the cupcakes,” Hadid belts out more than once while the shutter snaps “Does everyone know that I brought cupcakes?” from the summer intern turned marketing coordinator to the e-commerce manager Apart from the core people involved in the shoot—Rossella Raffi the chief marketing officer; Hadid’s business partner Isaac Ross; the art director Paolo Santosuosso—it doesn’t feel like the staff needs to be there but they settle comfortably along the sidelines nonetheless says Guest in Residence design director Sijeo Kim Let’s talk about the idea.” Kim describes meeting Hadid for the first time at her apartment; she was carefully dressed in supporting-​staff black while Gigi was in a leather jacket with a power shoulder—both of them now aware that they were trying out roles Hadid sits down next to us as Kim tells the story; it’s lunchtime and a plate of Middle Eastern food is balanced on her knees “A power shoulder—very unlike me!” she exclaims Kim’s voice was shaking during that first meeting as she showed Hadid samples of her earlier design work my voice shakes all the time too.’ ” Their relationship like many of the initially professional relationships Hadid enters where they send inspiration back and forth—everything from Korean architecture to a T-shirt that has been a stalwart of Hadid’s closet Raffi, who traveled extensively with Hadid while they were promoting a collection she did with Tommy Hilfiger at the start of her career where they were besieged by crowds of fans including a giant Gigi doll that followed them around the city Hadid managed to organize a birthday dinner for Raffi and she cherishes the team around her,” says Raffi And it’s also very rare.” When the Guest in Residence staff has to stay late at their office interfering with the cleaning crew’s schedule that she can’t build a company purely through cupcakes and birthday dinners: “Sometimes I have to say the thing that’s hard to say and be the boss,” Hadid tells me you wouldn’t see a full depiction of me,” says Hadid Hadid quickly changes into cashmere Guest in Residence sweats “My wardrobe is really the basics that I’ve been reworking.” This was part of the motivation for Guest in Residence She wanted to sell things that will last and have less of an impact on the earth than most fashion (She can geek out on cashmere quality and supply chains and how they are reseeding the fields where the cashmere goats graze.) She is both leader and student when it comes to Guest in Residence: One of her favorite things to do is to stop by the store and investigate how people are approaching the clothes “It really opened my mind—not just about theme parks and rides but some of my first memories of really looking around.” Working with Karl Lagerfeld brought this back: “Walking onto those Chanel sets—I felt like a kid in an amusement park It rang those same bells in my brain.” When she texts later Her work on Guest in Residence is striving to re-create this: “Our conversation made me think of how putting myself in creative situations makes me feel like a kid again,” she writes Hadid will turn 30—certainly no longer a kid—and I ask her if she feels like a new chapter is beginning (And for those who will be watching the slow roll of her social media feed: Yes and she is thinking that she wants it to be formal “something a little bit camp.”) “I’m excited for 30,” she says “I feel like a lot of the stuff in my career that people maybe normally go through in their 30s I went through in my 20s.” Her goal for the upcoming year is to do more of the things that scare her that maybe make her hands shake just a bit I have to remember that if I feel scared or intimidated I ask if it ever felt like things were moving a bit too fast for her—in her career “For a lot of moms there’s this perfect image of what they’re supposed to be and how it needs to go,” she says You wake up and do your best and you realize it is enough and there’s a beauty in not necessarily knowing exactly how that’s going to go.” She pauses a moment as though aware that this same sentiment could be applied to various inflection points in her career “I think that’s a huge lesson that I needed And probably one of the reasons that Khai came to me You can look at an experience as the right or wrong time for anything Now I just give myself the grace and look at how many things I’ve handled Jin Soon Choi; tailors: Hailey Desjardins and Luis Cascante The April issue is here featuring Gigi Hadid.

six hits and one earned run as she struck out six on Friday afternoon in the teams’ second meeting of the season Bradley forced a lineout and a flyout with the potential tying runner on third base in the seventh inning to secure the Green Knights’ 3-2 road victory over the Crusaders And they have a good eye for the ball,” Bradley said of Notre Dame “I knew that I just had to mix up my spots I knew that they’ve already seen me three times through the lineup I knew that I had to move my pitches around a little bit It was basically a lot of spin and changing speeds.” The Pen Argyl senior pitcher recorded 1-2-3 innings in the first Bradley sandwiched a popout in between a pair of strikeouts in the fourth inning Notre Dame scored in the fifth inning after a pair of walks and an error Bradley recorded her fifth strikeout of the game to end the frame and strand runners on first and second base The Crusaders got back-to-back singles from senior third baseman Claire Ceraul and sophomore right fielder Rachel Fisher with two outs in the sixth inning But Bradley closed the frame by making a diving stop in the pitching circle and throwing to freshman first baseman Talia Curtolo to record the final out of the frame Senior shortstop Hannah Lilly had a one-out single and then advanced to third base on an error in the bottom of the seventh inning Bradley got out of the jam and finished the game by forcing a lineout to Curtolo at first base and then a flyout to junior right fielder Ashlyn Oessenick “I feel like it just comes from experience,” Bradley said of dealing with the final-inning pressure “Definitely just making sure that I keep my mind focused on the batter because I kind of just have tunnel vision on the batter because if I can get her out It was another strong performance for Bradley against a tough Notre Dame lineup which scored 28 and 26 runs in games early in the season and produced nine runs in a victory over defending District 11 Class 6A champion Liberty on April 17 “I’m just confident with her,” Pen Argyl coach Bill Schankel said of Bradley every game out she’s going to give me 100 percent and she’s going to give us a good game You can’t ask for anything more than that from your pitcher.” Following a leadoff single by senior center fielder Madacyn Rivera and then a Notre Dame error Pen Argyl took a 1-0 lead in the first inning with an RBI double into left field by Bradley Freshman catcher Abigail Scherer connected on a sacrifice fly in the first inning to increase the Green Knights’ lead to two runs Notre Dame cut the deficit to 2-1 with an RBI double by Ceraul in the second inning Pen Argyl extended the advantage to 3-1 in the fourth inning Oessenick led off the frame with a single and then sophomore left fielder Ella Garcias hit a double into

just before this year especially since I was really nervous coming back from a surgery because I was released a month and a half before the season started,” Bradley said “I definitely think my speed is back the way it was sophomore year A big part of it is I just love my team and I know they have my back all the time Obviously I know I’m not going to strike everyone out I’m looking for them to

However, with Feltner landing on the injured list with back spasms, they will turn to another rookie to face the San Francisco Giants (20-13) and hopefully gain some offensive traction Bradley Blalock (0-1, 10.29 ERA) will take the place of Feltner and make his second start of the season. His previous start came on April 27 against the Cincinnati Reds at Coors Field While he allowed six runs on seven hits in four innings of work three of those runs came in the first inning and Blalock settled in for the next three innings before running into trouble in the fifth when he loaded the bases resulting in bad counts that have led to the trouble Opponents are hitting .387 against him and he owns a 2.00 WHIP so he’ll have to be careful with the Giants' lineup over the plate He’ll be opposed by reliever turned starter Jordan Hicks (1-3 Hicks has worked at least five innings in all but one start he allowed two runs on seven hits in five innings of work Radio: KOA 850 AM/94.1 FM; KNRV 1150 (Spanish) Saturday in San Fran pic.twitter.com/ploccmQgSA All wings report in⌚️: 1:05 p.m. PT : @OracleParkSF : @NBCSGiants : @KNBR | KSFN pic.twitter.com/Hhd28vQdDU Please keep in mind our Purple Row Community Guidelines when you’re commenting the new Philly-cheesesteak restaurant in the East Village co-owned by Bradley Cooper of the piercing blue eyes and the considerable acting-directing chops the roll split lengthwise and filled with a glorious gloop of cheese (smooth and saucy Cooper Sharp no relation to Bradley) and sliced rib-eye steak (tender paper-thin) run through with sweet ribbons of griddled onion It’s the best cheesesteak I’ve had in New York which isn’t saying much; it’s just as good as the best one I’ve had in Philadelphia Helen, Help Me!E-mail your questions about dining and Helen may respond in a future newsletter His high standards for the insides of the sandwich are a fair part of Angelo’s magic but the real miracle is his bread: graceful torpedoes of flour and yeast and dough autumnal golden-brown and dusted with sesame seeds Most bread used for cheesesteaks tastes like nothing; it serves as a container and a handhold Paper-thin slices of rib-eye steak are blanketed in smooth and saucy Cooper Sharp cheese (no relation to Bradley).Bradley Cooper wish only blessings—may he receive every Oscar his heart has ever desired; I even forgive him for serving a runny egg yolk on a perforated plate in the movie “Burnt”—grew up just outside Philadelphia he seems to approach cheesesteaks with the same intensity that he brings to his directorial endeavors and his awards-season campaigns much of the considerable line) was related to his celebrity Especially in the restaurant’s early weeks but the wait’s grown no shorter—forty-five minutes on one of my visits it is almost identical to the one served at Angelo’s There’s that heavenly bread—baked in-house to DiGiampietro’s exacting specifications—stuffed with that creamy colloidal dispersion of meat and cheese; it’s even slightly under-seasoned with a paleness of flavor that can result from too many rich ingredients in too great a quantity But the lack of salt is easily remedied with the application of pickled peppers which are sharper and more vinegary.) The only real difference is that the onions at Danny & Coop’s are mixed in with the beef on the griddle while in Philly they’re cooked and added separately The sandwich is a near-replica of the one served at Angelo’s Pizzeria a popular Philadelphia restaurant run by Cooper’s partner Danny DiGiampietro.It’s actually pretty easy to hop down from New York to Philadelphia—it can take me longer to get from Park Slope to Greenpoint depending on the emotional state of the subway—but the East Village is a simpler proposition for all the raptures this cheesesteak sent me into I feel a strange unease about New York City being home to one of the finest examples of Philadelphia’s most iconic food (This is the same disquietude I feel about the Chicago-style pizza at Emmett’s which I prefer to most Chicago-style pizza in actual Chicago—the soft imperialism of New York City!) The sandwich may be the Angelo’s sandwich but the experience isn’t the Angelo’s experience: the line is a very East Village line gray-toned where South Philly is in warm browns and reds The interior is half taken up by the kitchen There’s a bit of a provisional feeling to it all: the restaurant is a restaurant It’s open three days a week; friendly reminders of dates and times are issued via a Danny & Coop’s Instagram account which doesn’t otherwise seem to be too meticulously maintained It’s the only thing that gets lavished with attention A long-ago crime, suddenly remembered A limousine driver watches her passengers transform The day Muhammad Ali punched me What is it like to be keenly intelligent but deeply alienated from simple emotions?
