READFIELD Step for step Tuesday afternoon, the Maranacook and Waterville softball teams went through the paces in virtually identical fashion.
Each team rapped out seven hits. Each starting pitcher posted double-digit strikeout totals. Each offense managed to get runners on base and put stress on the opposing defense. The difference in Waterville’s 5-4 win came down to how that defense handled the adversity, with the Black Bears committing seven errors to account for all five of the Purple Panthers’ runs.
WNBA Rumors: Gabby Williams Situation A Manifestation Of Much-Bigger Problem
KEY POINTS
Williams reportedly failed to report to training camp
The former UConn star will play for France in the EuroBasket in June
Over the weekend, embattled WNBA forward Gabby Williams was placed on the Chicago Sky’s full-season suspension list before the team traded her to the Los Angeles Sparks.
Williams had an unprotected salary worth $70,040 and will not be able to suit up for the Sparks either as the suspension meant being taken off the cap sheet and not being able to play for the entire season.
The reported reason for the former UConn star’s demise was the failure to show up in the Sky’s training camp prior to tip-off, a violation of WNBA CBA even if Williams through social media appeared to be in Chicago in the first place.
