Brosseau breaks up Manaea s no-hitter: Sean Manaea s bid to throw MLB s second no-hitter of the night and fifth of the season on Friday was broken up by Mike Brosseau. The Oakland southpaw had thrown seven no-hit innings before the Tampa Bay hitter, who specializes against left-handed pitching, laced a double to lead off the eighth inning. Brosseau came in to score and tie the game 1-1 on Mike Zunino s hit. The former Andrean teammates add the latest chapter to their storied careers. ESPN reporter Jeff Passan told The Times he hadn t heard of a hitter breaking up a pitcher s no-hitter, having both attended the same high school, but Passan pondered it potentially could have happened early in a game previously. Oakland went on to win the game 2-1 on a walk-off home run by Seth Brown. Manaea went 7 1/3 innings, giving up two hits, one earned run, one walk and striking out 10. Brosseau was 1 for 3 with the double and run scored.

In Owen Hiltz’s first season at Culver Academy (Indiana), he scored three first-half goals against head coach Chris Spahn’s Kiski (Pennsylvania) High School team. The first was a toe drag, the next was a face dodge, and the last was a shot around a screen. On all three, the defenders didn’t have a chance.
“Out of all (Culver’s) really good players, he just stood out,” Spahn said three years later. “He was just a really hard player to stop, especially with the ball in his stick.”

Robert Kania has coached a lot of football over the years, serving as an assistant at Penn, South Central, Portage, Wheeler and Chesterton.
After spending the last eight seasons with the Trojans and coach Mark Peterson, Kania confirmed Monday that he s finally leading his own program. The 1991 Penn grad has returned to Wheeler and has been hired as the Bearcats new football coach. I started my career at Penn (in 1996) and won a (Class 5A) state title. I should ve retired then, Kania said, laughing. I ve kind of worked my way around, but I ve enjoyed every second if it.
