By Dan McComb:
A.J. Marcello delivered a hard hit single up the middle in the bottom of the seventh inning to propel Batavia to a 4-3 win over North Town of Williamsville on Wednesday. Zeke Lynn scored the winning run.
The Batavia 24U Baseball Team scored three runs in the top of the first inning. Tristan Aldinger led off with a walk and went to third in a double by Jerry Reinhardt. Casey Radka then delivered a two-run single and came home to score on two throwing errors.
Batavia would not score again until the dramatic single by Marcello in the bottom of the seventh inning, snapping a 3-3 tie.
Trevor Sherwood pitched the first five innings of the game, striking out seven and allowing three runs. Radka came in to earn the win going the last two innings without surrendering a run.
Batavia banged out six hits (including a triple by Josh Bradley) and only struck out twice in the game.
Batavia turned over a beautiful double play in the first inning when Luke McComb fielded a grounder behind second base, back-handed a throw to Radka at short stop, who touched second base and fired to Marcello at first base to complete the double play.
Batavia improves their record to 10–0. They next play tomorrow against the defending champs, Clarence, who Batavia beat earlier in the season, 10-5, in Clarence. This game will be played at 6 p.m. at Genesee Community College.

posted by Billie Owens in sports, Batavia Downs, NYS Sire Stakes.
Batavia Downs has announced that Wanda Polisseni's Purple Haze Standardbred Adoption Center and the New York State Horse Breeding Development Fund will be sponsoring a cocktail party to be held before the $1.8 million New York Sire Stakes (NYSS) Night of Champions on Saturday (Sept. 14) at the Downs.
The party is by invitation only and is for all NYSS finals participants and their guests and some VIPs and will run from 4:30 until 6 p.m. in Grandstands Banquet Room, which is located on the second floor of the building, adjacent to the hotel entrance. The party will conclude in time for everyone to make their way to the clubhouse for the first championship final of the night that will be carded as race two.
Kelly Young, executive director of the Agriculture and New York State Horse Breeding Development Fund and Todd Haight, director/general manager of Live Racing expressed their excitement looking forward to this very important night for all who race in New York State.
"The Night of Champions is a time for the connections of all the horses who made it to the finals to look back on the year and celebrate their success. These equine athletes rose to the top of their class and thrived during a demanding season gathering points across the state from Buffalo to Yonkers, and every harness track in between," Young said.
"We're so pleased to join with Wanda Polisseni and her Purple Haze Standardbred Adoption Center to celebrate the best of the best at Batavia Downs. Wanda is a dedicated owner of New York-bred horses and her love of the sport makes her a great partner to honor our Night of Champions participants."
"It's been many years since Batavia Downs hosted the Breeders Crown back in 1988 and we couldn't be more proud to have been selected this year to showcase the very best horses that have been bred and raced in New York State," Haight said.
"Wanda is a longtime friend of Batavia Downs and our 'Purple Haze' winner's circle is named after her stable. Now she is joining with us again on this great night to host the NYSS cocktail party and enjoy the best racing in the state. I can't wait for September 14!"
Henry Wojtaszek is the CEO and president of Batavia Downs Gaming. His thoughts about the event go beyond its racing significance and expresses the financial impact it will have on the communities that WROTB benefits.
"The Night of Champions being held at Batavia Downs is a testament to the hard work being put forth by our staff into making this one of the best racetracks in the country," Wojtaszek said.
"Not only will this event attract folks from all over the state to our facility, but also to local hotels, restaurants and businesses. The economic benefit of having this marquee event right here in Genesee County will be felt by all."
The $1.8 million Night of Champions races will highlight the richest card of racing ever held in Western New York.

Vermont taps down Muckdogs hitting for 3-1 victory
posted by Howard B. Owens in muckdogs, sports, batavia, baseball.
Edgar Martinez and the Batavia Muckdog bullpen put together another solid outing, but the offense could not get the timely hits needed as their fell, 3-1 to the Vermont Lake Monsters.
Martinez struck out five over five innings and gave up two runs, then recent University of Alabama grad Brock Love, who just joined the Muckdogs, threw his second scoreless inning. Love is a 2019 Miami Marlins draft pick. Edison Suriel, who has a 2.25 ERA ad was signed out of the Dominican Republic by the Marlins, struck out two in one inning and did not allow a hit or run. Geremy Galindez threw one inning and struck out two. The only run he gave up came on a 2-2 wild pitch and the next pitch he struck the batter out to end the inning.
Milton Smith II continued his incredible season going 1-for-3 with a run and two stolen bases and is now hitting .402, which leads the New York-Penn League. Smith was drafted in the 22nd round in 2018 by the Marlins.
Troy Johnston (17th-round draft pick this year) had an RBI single and is now hitting .313 and Sean Reynolds had a hit and is batting .421 on the season. Nick Ready had the other Batavia hit.
Vermont lefty Jhenderson Hurtado struck out 10 in relief, throwing five innings to improve to 3-0 on the season. Vermont's three pitchers combined to strike out 19.
Batavia will have a travel day on Tuesday.
The Muckdogs, who have increased attendance by 29 percent over last year, will return home on Wednesday and Thursday to take on the Auburn Doubledays (Washington Nationals).
The team is also home on July 20, 21 and 22 against Mahoning Valley (Cleveland Indians).

Batavia 24U Baseball Team downs the Titans 6-3 to remain unbeaten
posted by Billie Owens in Batavia 24U, baseball, sports.
Story by Dan McComb:
The Batavia 24U Baseball Team beat the Titans yesterday at Buffalo's Riverside Park 6-3 to remain unbeaten at 9-0. Batavia handed the Titans only their second defeat of the season (both to Batavia).
Jerry Reinhardt hit two home runs (both solo shots) and went 3 for 4 at the plate, and Zeke Lynn also hit a solo shot. Also collecting hits for Batavia were Casey Radka, Dion Rosalina, Burnie Jonis, Luke McComb, Jesse Reinhardt and AJ Marcello.
Lynn went the first five innings, striking out 11 and surrendering two runs (one earned). Radka finished off the afternoon going two innings, giving up two hits and surrendering one unearned run.
Batavia had a 2-0 lead in the top of the second inning when Rosalina hit a double, and scored when Marcello hit a ground ball to the shortstop who threw the ball wildly past first base, scoring Rosalina and also scoring Marcello.
Batavia tacked on another run in the top of the third inning when Jonis singled and went to third base on a Reinhardt single. Jonis then scored on a sacrifice fly by Radka.
Batavia added another run in the top of the fourth on a solo home run by Lynn, and Batavia scored a run each in the top of the fifth and the top of the seventh inning on solo home runs by Reinhardt.
Batavia's next game is tomorrow at Genesee Community College at 6 p.m. against North Town of Williamsville.
Muckdogs pitching leads first-place Batavia to 3-1 win over Vermont
posted by Billie Owens in muckdogs, batavia, sports, baseball.
The Batavia Muckdogs won, 3-1 in Vermont Sunday to remain in first place in the New York Penn-League Pinckney Division.
BURLINGTON, VT. -- There have been Batavia Muckdog games this season when you could almost feel the stare of Evan Brabrand from the bull pen as the closer wants the ball every night.
Because of two straight losses, he had to wait.
Sunday night, Brabrand's wait was over and he rewarded Manager Tom Lawless with his sixth save of the young season in a 3-0 Batavia win over the Vermont Lake Monsters on the road.
Brabrand, a ninth-0round draft pick this year by the Miami Marlins out of Liberty University, Lynchburg, Va., is now 6-for-6 in save opportunities, as he threw a scoreless seventh.
Batavia (18-11) maintains a first-place lead over West Virginia in the New York-Penn League Pinckney Division and has a chance to win the series Monday.
The entire Batavia pitching staff has a 3.02 ERA and has struck out 260 batters in 247 innings. Josh Simpson picked up his fourth hold of the season, throwing two perfect innings in relief with two strikeouts before giving way to Brabrand. Simpson is a 2019 32nd round draft pick out of Columbia University in the City of New York.
Starting pitcher Julio Frias improved to 2-1 as he threw six innings of 2-hit ball with five strikeouts and just one run allowed. The Marlins signed the 21-year-old lefty out of the Dominican Republic in 2015 and he has developed into a strong starter with 36 strikeouts in 30 innings.
Batavia has given up just five hits the last two games.
Batavia picked up two runs in the fourth when Albert Guaimaro singled in Sean Reynolds, then Brayan Hernandez drove in Nic Ready for a 2-0 lead.
Holding on to a 2-1 lead in the ninth, Hernandez led off with a walk and was bunted to second by Ronal Reynoso. J.D. Orr was intentionally walked so with two outs, Lawless put the double steal on and it worked as they stole to second and third. The move paid off as Hernandez scored on a wild pitch before a groundout ended the inning.
The Muckdogs, who have increased attendance by 29 percent over last year, will return home on Wednesday and Thursday to take on the Auburn Doubledays (Washington Nationals). Tickets are available at muckdogs.com or stop by the Dwyer Stadium Ticket officeetween 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. during the week. The number is 585-483-3647.

First-place Muckdogs fall in Vermont, 2-0
posted by Billie Owens in muckdogs, sports, batavia, baseball.
Milton Smith II had another hit Saturday. He has now hit in 21 of 23 games this season for Batavia.
The Batavia Muckdogs have played 19 games in 19 days, and the long road trip from Batavia to Vermont may have caught up with the hitters. The Muckdogs (17-11) fell to the Vermont Lake Monsters, 2-0 Saturday night on a game where both teams combined for five hits, the Muckdogs picking up three of them.
Jackson Rose picked up the hard-luck loss, throwing five innings of two-hit ball, giving up a solo home run to Kevin Richards. The only other hit was an infield single.
Eli Villalobos had one of the best outings of his short professional career, throwing three perfect innings in relief, striking out four. Villalobos, a 2018 14th-round Miami Marlins draft pick out of Long Beach State in California, has started three games but has excelled for Manager Tom Lawless out of the pen. He now has 25 strikeouts in 22 innings and a save.
Sean Reynolds had one of the three hits for the Muckdogs and also walked, putting his average at an even .500 as he has hit in all four games with Batavia since joining the team on July 10 (seven hits).
Milton Smith II, the 21-year-old leadoff hitter for the Muckdogs and had a 12-game hitting streak earlier this season, had another hit and is now hitting .405 this season. Smith II, a 22nd-round pick of the Marlins in 2018, is ahead of Gilberto Jimenez, of Lowell, Mass., who is hitting .376 (Muckdog J.D. Orr was second in average but is just short on enough official at bats to qualify).
How amazing has this season been for Smith II? He now has hit in 21 of 23 games he has played.During his 12-game hit streak, his lone at bat was an extra inning walk-off single to win a game for the Muckdogs.
Dalvy Rosario also had a hit for Batavia.
The Muckdogs are at Vermont Sunday and Monday for 7:05 p.m. starts and after a travel day return home for two games to host the Auburn Doubledays, both at 7:05 p.m.

Batavia Muckdogs fall to Lowell 5-2, but take series and remain in first place
Two Miami Marlins draft picks who are making an impact with the Batavia Muckdogs high-five after a diving catch by Milton Smith II, left, in center field head first toward the fence to end the inning, and Troy Johnston, who belted a home run and doubled Friday before 1,301 fans in Batavia.
After taking the first two games of the series against the Boston Red Sox from club Lowell Spinners, the Batavia Muckdogs were in position to take over the best overall record in the New York-Penn League.
However, the Spinners showed why they are in the top spot by scoring two big runs in the ninth inning to hold off the Muckdogs 5-2 Friday night before 1,301 fans at Dwyer Stadium.
Batavia (17-10) is still in first place in the NYPL Pinckney Division and goes on the road for three games against the Vermont Lake Monster, the Oakland A's farm club.
Troy Johnston, a 17th-round draft pick of the parent club Miami Marlins in 2019 out of Gonzaga University in Spokane, Wa., went 2-for-3 with a 394-foot solo home run to right field that went 102 MPH off the bat. Johnston also hit a RBI double down the left field line in the first and is now hitting .357 on the season.
Sean Reynolds continued his three-game tear in his return to Batavia by going 2-for-4 with a double to increase his average to .545, as he hit two home runs then followed it up with four hits including the double.
Milton Smith II made one of the best catches of the season in center field, going on a dead sprint to center and diving head-first toward the fence, making a catch to end the fourth inning. Smith II then led off the bottom half of the inning with a single and scored.
Albert Guairamo, Nic Ready and Dalvy Rosario had hits for Batavia.
The pitching staff game up 13 hits but only five runs, as Andrew Miller took the loss, throwing 3.2 innings with three strikeouts. Edison Suriel (two strikeouts) threw 1.1 scoreless innings and Bryan Hoeing in his first appearance in Batavia threw a scoreless inning.
The Muckdogs return home on Wednesday, July 17 and Thursday, July 18 against the Auburn Doubledays then back home July 20, 21 and 22 against Mahoning Valley.

First-place Batavia Muckdogs take second straight from top team in the New York-Penn League
posted by Howard B. Owens in muckdogs, baseball, sports.
You never know who will step up for the Batavia Muckdogs during any given game. It's the main reason the team is 17-9, sitting in first place in the Pinckney Division.
Thursday night, it was Jack Strunc's turn, as the shortstop went 3-for-4 with two doubles to lead Batavia to a 5-2 win over the Lowell Spinners.
Lowell is now 17-8 and Friday night's game in Batavia will determine who has the best overall record in the New York-Penn League.
"They have the best record coming in here but I think we show we can play with anyone," Strunc said. "It doesn't matter, we are confident no matter what division or who is at the top, these guys show up every single day, pitching and hitting."
Strunc, who was drafted this year in the 25th round of the draft by the Miami Marlins, scored twice and drove in two runs to increase his average to .333 with the three-hit game.
"I'm trying to see the ball as long as possible, I'm not trying to do too much," Strunc said. "I'm seeing a few more pitches than normal and I think that's helping."
Albert Guaimaro made three outstanding catches in right field including two running grabs near the fence to go with his RBI single at the plate. His defense kept runners from scoring in three innings.
Sean Reynolds, who is hitting .571 in his return to Batavia this week had a double and scored, Brayan Hernandez went 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI and Andrew Turner had an RBI single.
Pitching was strong again as Dakota Bennett picks up the win throwing five innings of shutout ball with three strikeouts and Geremy Galindez notched his second save, throwing a scoreless ninth with a strikeout. Easton Lucas started, striking out two in two innings and one of the new Muckdogs, Brock Love, threw one scoreless inning with a strikeout. Love is a 34th-round pick the Marlins from the 2019 draft and played at University of Alabama.
Coming up: Friday is Crafty Hour where the large selection of craft beers are just $3. There will be other specials and events during the 7:05 p.m. game.

Reynolds back in Batavia, powers Muckdogs win with two homers, five RBIs
posted by Howard B. Owens in muckdogs, baseball, sports, notify.
When the rest of the Miami Marlins prospects were being moved up and down a few weeks ago, Sean Reynolds stayed in Florida to refine his sweet swing and work on little things in his hitting approach.
Boy, are the Batavia Muckdogs glad.
In his first game with the team this season, Reynolds blasted two home runs, going 3-for-4 with five RBIs and two runs scored. The Muckdogs (16-9) downed the Lowell Spinners (17-7), 8-6.
Reynolds, a crowd favorite, is a 6-foot-7, 237-pound first baseman who hits from the left side and throws right-handed. The fourth-round pick of the Marlins in 2016 has crushed 33 home runs in his short minor league career. The 21-year-old hit 17 home runs in Batavia last season.
"I want to be a consistent hitter who can have power," Reynolds said. "It felt good, obviously, two big ones tonight. When it happens, it's always good."
However, Reynolds was pleased with his RBI single in the seventh inning.
"My favorite hit of the three was the two-out, two-strike RBI single," Reynolds said. "It is huge whenever you get a chance to add on late in a game against a good pen like that."
As for being back in Batavia, Reynolds said, "The crowd was excited and I was excited to be back. You never want to get sent down per se, but wherever I am I am going to try to help teams win games … That was fun."
Reynolds then signed autographs for young fans and handed his oversized batting gloves to one lucky Little League player. The boy looked at the gloves with wide eyes and Reynolds joked, "don't worry, you'll grow into them."
Lowell has the best overall record in the New York-Penn League and Batavia has the second-best record, which is good enough for first place in the Pinckney Division.
With the Muckdogs trailing 6-5 following an extended fifth inning rally from their NYPL opponent, the Lowell Spinners, Reynolds came through with a blast for the ages, a two-run home run, which regained the lead for Batavia and proved to be the difference in what eventually turned into an 8-6 win for the home team.
The three-run, go-ahead moon shot, Reynolds' second four-bagger of the game, followed his go-ahead three-run tater in the bottom of the first inning which came after a two-run first from Lowell. Both of Reynolds' big flies came with two outs. His second home run came off the bat at 115 MPH.
Left fielder J.D. Orr, a 10th-round Marlins draft pick this year, continued his torrid start to the season, finishing 3-for-4 with four runs scored and a stolen base while shortstop Dalvy Rosario (two runs), second baseman Jack Strung (25th round pick this year) and center fielder Milton Smith II (22nd round pick in 2018) also chipped in multi-hit games. Smith, the leading hitter in the NYPL is hitting .416 with Orr at .404 and chasing him at the second spot.
Picking up the win on the mound for Batavia was right-hander Joey Steele (1-0), who pitched one-and-two-thirds clean innings, allowing two hits and striking out one. Steele, a 30th round pick this year, got out of a jam in the fifth and then went on to hurl a perfect sixth inning.
Starter Edgar Martinez went 4.1 innings and struck out four. Muckdogs' closer Evan Braband recorded the save, striking out the side in the ninth. Braband, the Marlins' 2019 9th round draft pick, has allowed just one hit this season while striking out 11 over six and one-third innings pitched. He now has five saves on the season. Josh Simpson, a 32nd-round draft pick this year had his third hold as he threw two scoreless innings and struck out four.
Spinners' right-handed reliever Miguel Suero (0-1) was hit with the loss, pitching two and one-third inning, allowing two runs on three hits while striking out one.
Batavia began the game trailing 2-0 after Lowell put up two-runs in the top of the first, but Reynolds' blast in the bottom half of the frame gave the Muckdogs the lead until the fifth inning. The Spinners struck for two runs during both their half of the fourth and their half of the fifth, giving them a 6-5 lead heading to the bottom half of the inning.
Then, Reynolds' two-run blast during the Muckdogs' half of the fifth proved to be the difference, while Reynolds' single in the seventh simply served as insurance.

Late rally saves State College from series sweep by first-place Muckdogs
Just when the Batavia Muckdogs were ready to come home with a sweep of State College, Jonatan Machado provided eighth-inning heroics.
Machado crushed a two-out, three-run home run that finished erasing a 5-2 Batavia lead and gave the Spikes a 6-5 lead they would hold for the win.
Leonardo Taveras, who has been nearly perfect for the Spikes, came on in the top of the ninth, striking out two batters while picking up the save with his fastball clocked at 98.
Picking up the win on the mound for the Spikes was Cardinals' 2019 seventh-round draft pick right-hander Jack Ralston (1-0).Batavia won the series, 2-1.
Batavia rapped 18 hits but no home runs on Monday in a victory, and started Tuesday with two home runs.
Jack Strunc blasted his first of the season, a two-RBI shot in the fourth inning. Strunc was a 25th-round pick in June of the Miami Marlins out of Creighton, Neb.
Brayan Hernandez hit his second home run of the season in the fifth inning, a solo shot.
Nic Ready had a strong 2-for-4 game with two doubles, an RBi, and a run as he now has a .310 average.
Dalvy Rosario (run) doubled for the Muckdogs and Troy Johnston singled.
Batavia southpaw Edison Suriel took the loss in relief.
Batavia starter Julio Frias went five strong innings with five strikeouts and gave up one earned run.
Another bright spot for Batavia was a strong outing by M.D. Johnson, who came on with one out and struck out two batters for his third hold.
Batavia (15-9), remains in first place and plays at home at Dwyer Stadium against the Lowell Spinners, a farm club of the Boston Red Sox.
The game has many specials, including game-day food discounts that will be announced at the game, and Sahlen's will provide hot dogs for just $1 all game. It is also Turnbull Little League night as children wearing youth baseball shirts receive a free general admission ticket.
On Thursday it's Thirsty Thursday as all Labatt's products are $2. On Friday is Crafty Hour where the large selection of craft beers are just $3. There will be other specials and events during the week. All games are at 7:05 p.m.

Smith's five hits lifts his average to .423, leads Muckdogs to 14-2 win
posted by Howard B. Owens in baseball, sports, muckdogs.
All season long, Milton Smith II has battled with teammate J.D. Orr for the top spot on the New York-Penn League average leader board.
Monday night, Smith raced out to the lead with a 5-for-6 performance to not only increase his average to .423 but lead the first place Muckdogs to a 14-2 win over the State College Spikes.
Batavia (15-8) pounded out 18 hits led by Smith II, who also had three runs, stole a base and had a RBI. The lefty centerfielder is a 2-18 22nd round draft pick by the parent club Miami Marlins. He is a Starkvile, Miss., native and was drafted out of Meridian CC.
In the fifth, State College was keeping the game close at 5-2 when Batavia Manager Tom Lawless started giving runners the green light. Dalvy Rosario and Troy Johnston had RBI singles, then Johnston stole second as Rosario stole home, starting a streak of nine unanswered runs.
Johnston, who is also a lefty outfielder, went 4-for-5, tripped two doubles with three RBIs and three runs. He was taken by the Marlins in the 17th round of the 2019 draft out of Gonzaga and now has a .356 average.
Albert Guaimaro has continued his hot streak, going 3-for-5 with three RBIs and a run for the Muckdogs while catcher Dustin Skelton had three hits including a double and two RBIs. Skelton was drafted this year by Miami a round after Johnston.
Jack Strunc had two hits and an RBI while Rosario had a hit, scored four runs and drove in a run.
Jackson Rose picked up his third win on the season, this time coming out of the pen to throw four scoreless innings of one-hit ball with five strikeouts and just one walk. Rose, 3-1 on the season with a 2.70 ERA, is a 2018 Marlins draft pick out of Minnesota.
Eli Villalobos started and went four innings with four strikeouts and Tyler Kolek threw a perfect inning with a strikeout.
The Muckdogs have now on 7-of-11 games and play one more game Tuesday night in State College at 7:05.
Coming Home: The Muckdogs return home to play Lowell on Wednesday as part of a three-game homestand (July 10, 11 and 12).
Hot dogs are just $1 on Wednesday and all Labatt's products are $2. Friday is Crafty Hour, all craft beers are $3. There are other ticket specials for Little League players in uniform as well.
All three games start at 7:05 p.m. and tickets are available at the Dwyer Stadium box office between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday to Friday, online at muckdogs.com or call 585-483-3647.

Balk helps Muckdogs hold onto first place
To remain in first place in the New York-Penn League, the Batavia Muckdogs pitching needed a little help.
The offense provided it with a two-out rally and a balk call in the fourth inning as the Muckdogs downed the State College Spikes, 3-2 on Sunday.
The Muckdogs trailed, 2-1 when Jack Strunc walked with two outs, then Andrew Turner blasted a double to the gap and Strung scored all the way from first.
That's when the luck came through as well. Dustin Skelton struck out, but when the ball got away from the catcher, he made it to first and Turner went to third. Still with two outs, a balk was called and Turner scored the eventual winning run.
From there, the pitching continued to be tremendous for Batavia.
Jeremy Galindez improved to 2-0 with the win, as he threw two perfect innings in relief of Remey Reed. Reed, who is 3-0 on the season, struck out five in four innings and lowered his ERA to 1.73.
Josh Simpson, a 2019 draft pick of the Miami Marlins, got his second hold of the season, throwing 1.2 scoreless innings with a strikeout.
Evan Brabrand, who has developed into a closer for Batavia manager Tom Lawless, picked up his fourth save of the season. Brabrand, a ninth-round draft pick this year, finished the eighth and ninth without allowing a hit or run.
Batavia improved to 14-8 with the win, 1.5 games ahead of State College (13-10) and two games ahead of Mahoning Valley and West Virginia.
The other Batavia run came in the first when Milton Smith II singled and scored on a hit by Troy Johnston, who had two hits on the day.
State College answered in the bottom of the inning when Andrew Warner hit a two-run single.
Albert Guaimaro and Skelton had hits, while Turner had two hits.
The Muckdogs are at State College tonight and Tuesday, both games at 7:05 p.m.
The Muckdogs return home to play Lowell on Wednesday, July 10 as part of a three-game homestand (July 10, 11 and 12). Hot dogs are just $1 on Wednesday and all Labatt's products are $2. Friday is Crafty Hour, all craft beers are $3.

First-place Muckdogs beat Auburn again
The Batavia Muckdogs showed some power to go along with the season-long outstanding pitching to remain in first place with a 4-1 win over the Auburn Doubledays Friday night.
Batavia (13-7) is in first place in the New York-Penn League Pinckney Division.
Edison Suriel picked up in the win in relief of Edgar Martinez (four innings, three strikeouts, two hits one run) by throwing a scoreless fifth with a strikeout. Dakota Bennett had an unconventional save, throwing the final four innings of shutout ball, striking out two and giving up just two hits and no walks.
At the plate, Troy Johnston (double, RBI, run) and Harrison Dinicola (double, RBI) each had two hits while Milton Smith II (run), Nic Ready (RBI double), Andrew Turner and Jack Strunc (RBI double) all had hits. Albert Guaimaro blasted a triple for the Muckdogs and scored.
Batavia trailed 1-0 in the third when Johnston doubled with two outs and scored on Ready's double.
In the fourth, Strunc scored the go-ahead run on a passed ball. The Muckdogs tacked on insurance with single runs in the seventh and eighth.
The Muckdogs continue to get support from the draft and Miami Marlins signings: as Bennett was an 11th round pick of Miami in 2017; Johnston a 17th round this year; Dinicola went in the 27th round in 2018; Ready was picked in the 23rd round this year; Strunc 25th round this year; Smith II was a 22nd round pick in 2018; and Andrew Turner went in the 39th round in 2018.
The Muckdogs have won four-of-five and the last two on the road.
The two teams will play a doubleheader Saturday starting at 4 p.m. as the Muckdogs have five more road games over the next four days before returning home to play Lowell on Wednesday, July 10 as part of a three-game home stand (July 10, 11 and 12).
Hot dogs are just $1 on Wednesday and all Labatt's products are $2. Friday is Crafty Hour, all craft beers are $3.

Why Should You Buy Your Coffee at a Holistic Pet Store?
I bet you're wondering why I am telling you to buy the coffee you brew at home every morning at Hollywood Feed. (No, the coffee is not meant for our cats or dogs, to get that out of the way.) Most of us have never even seen coffee in a pet store, but now it has officially arrived and for a good reason. Grounds & Hounds Coffee Co. donates 20% of all proceeds to no-kill rescue organizations. I thought that was a great reason to give Grounds & Hounds coffee a try, and so did Hollywood Feed.
Grounds & Hounds Coffee Co. loves to help dogs, but its attention is definitely focused on making a delicious, high quality, and responsible product that people can really enjoy. Grounds & Hounds artisan roasted coffees are 100% Fair Trade and USDA Organic certified.
In the roast I tried, Alpha Blend, you may notice interesting and tasty hints of vanilla bean, ginger, nutmeg and dark chocolate if your palate is refined enough. The whole bean roast was easy for me to grind at home. Plus, freshly ground coffee just tastes a little better. I was much more impressed with the flavor and aroma of this coffee than I thought I would be (and I am a pretty picky coffee drinker, not just any old cup of coffee will really get me going for the day). Grounds & Hounds definitely gets my approval in the flavor department and won my husband over as well.
Three Grounds & Hounds roasts are available here and in Hollywood Feed stores. They are Alpha Blend (dark roast), Morning Walk Blend (light roast), and Paper & Slippers Blend (light and dark roasts).
Grounds & Hounds coffee tastes great and when I think about 20% of all proceeds being donated directly to Grounds & Hounds Coffee Co.'s rescue partners, it makes me feel good about where that extra bit of money for my morning coffee is going. It is a conscious decision I can make every single morning, to drink delicious organic coffee and donate to the animals I love at the same time.
I think everyone should pick up a bag of Grounds & Hounds coffee here or the next time you are shopping at your local Hollywood Feed store and give it a try. Let us know what you think in the comment section below!


'Empathy' is a false God. 'Responsiveness' is the Real deal. – Robert Berezin, M.D.
Empathy is commonly understood to mean, 'I know exactly how you feel because I have felt the same way myself.'; 'To understand someone you have to walk a mile in their shoes'. Here's the problem – it seems to sound caring if you say, 'Your mother died. I know exactly how you feel because my mother died too.' However, what commonly follows is 'Let me tell you about my mother's death', as if this is supposed to be comforting. 'Let me tell you about my favorite subject – me.' Try saying this to someone and see how well it is received. A person in mourning needs to be listened to. We need to be receptive.

As power demands worldwide continue to grow, fault currents become a larger-than-ever hindrance to achieving stable grids and consistent power quality. Applied Materials has developed a promising and innovative solution to address this challenge.
The surging demands for power are here to stay. When fault currents pose a constraint to evacuating more power or cause voltage instability, FCL technology offers a practical solution.
An FCL with low x/r ratio shunt reactor improves the transient stability of the generators, thus reducing outages while retaining grid stiffness.
FCLs work on the principle of "impedance on demand." There is no impedance during normal operations. Additional impedance becomes active only during a fault condition, thereby reducing the fault current. When the fault condition goes away the system returns to its original condition.

Wholesome Sweeteners Organic Turbinado Raw Cane Sugar. Perfect for Gourmet Coffee, Tea, Beverages and as a Crunchy Topping.
Wholesome Sweeteners' Organic Turbinado Raw Cane Sugar: Golden Crunchy Crystals produced from Organically Grown Sugar Cane. Its perfect rounded flavor is ideal for sweetening coffee & tea.
Wholesome Sweeteners' Organic Turbinado Sugar is made by crushing the freshly-cut sugar cane to squeeze out the juice, which is rich in molasses, vitamins and minerals. The cane juice is evaporated and spun in a large turbine to produce the distinctive sparkling golden crystals. For this reason, this style of sugar is often referred to as Turbinado Sugar. It has a distinctive color and natural flavor produced by keeping the sugar cane molasses in and around the crystals.
Organic Turbinado Sugar is the ultimate topping for cakes, cookies, muffins, crumbles, pies and a wonderful start to the day sprinkled on cereal or fruit. Add a tablespoonful in savory sauces to inject an extra layer of flavor. Use as a 1-for-1 organic replacement for refined sugar.
Organic and Kosher Certified, not filtered through animal by-products and suitable for Vega, Vegetarian, Halal and plant based diets.
Good For the People & the Planet: Wholesome Sweeteners' Organic Sugar is produced from certified organic sugar cane grown without the use of herbicides, synthetic fertilizers or chemicals in South America. The Sugar Mill provides a much needed infrastructure for the rural community, which would otherwise not be available such as medical facilities, housing, schools, clean water and electricity. The Mill is energy self sufficient - we use the crushed cane stalks, called bagasse, as fuel to generate electricity for the Mill and the surrounding community, so we do not use any fossil fuels. The Mill purchases sugar cane from farmer cooperatives that "green cut" the cane - which means that we do not burn or spray the fields and the sugar cane is cut by hand. The leaves and tops of the cane plant are left in the field as a nutrient source for the soil and as a natural form of weed control.
INGREDIENTS: Organic Evaporated Cane Juice.

SpecialEffect - The gamer's charity
Written by Alex, 24 July 2018
Wise Investment recently did a fundraising event for Special Effect which is an amazing charity local to us but helping people all around the UK.
These clips really show the impact Special Effect can have on people's lives and the importance of being able to feel that you can participate in activities that other people take for granted.
We are very happy to continue to support this charity as much as we can going forward and knowing that what we do makes a small contribution towards the charity being able to help more people is a great feeling.
Lewis Takes Control
How SpecialEffect's StarGaze project is bringing a degree of independence to Lewis.
Meet Corey, an amazing seven year-old with a magic laugh.
He's seven and has hemiplegia down his left side as a result of a pre-natal stroke.
For many years he's had to watch his brother have all the video gaming fun, but now he's absolutely loving playing FIFA independently.
"We used to give him a controller that wasn't connected just so he felt involved," said Lee, his father. "I'd asked a few people about adapted controllers but no-one knew anything. Just by chance I went into a GAME store and one of the assistants mentioned SpecialEffect."
Corey and his family came over to our games room and we created a special control setup for him that's put him back into the game. He hasn't looked back.
"He's really enjoying it," smiles Lee, "It's given him a bit of independence to play the games himself. It's something else he can do as his disability restricts him in so many other ways."
"Seeing him so happy just makes you feel good.

In my previous post I analyzed the first ruling at the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), "S.A.S v. France", concerning the full-face veil. The ECtHR introduced the principle "living together" as a legitimate aim to ban the burqa and niqab in France, on the basis that wearing the full-face veil hinders communication among individuals. I thought that ruling was dangerously opening the door to prohibit the full-face veil in other countries. Last Friday, the Dutch cabinet approved a proposal for a partial ban on face-covering Islamic veils on public transport and in public areas such as schools and hospitals.
The recent legitimate aim, "living together", introduced by the ECtHR at "S.A.S v. France", seems to justify a general prohibition of the Islamic full-face veil. However, I believe that these types of generalized prohibitions, apart from dangerously opening the door to prohibiting the full-face veil in other countries, will not eradicate a tradition with strong cultural and religious roots among Muslim women. Hidden under the disguise of a general prohibition is not only a fear of discrimination, but an apprehension to pluralism at its deepest core, which makes uncovering the veil a more comfortable option for westerners. This hesitation to what is foreign is that what must be altered, to learn to value and appreciate the beauty and uniqueness of that which is different. It is only when foreign ideas are viewed with acceptance and respect under a universal vision, that integration and mutual tolerance will thrive, steering far away from prejudice and inequality. In fact, a general ban implies shunning that which opposes one's views, with the idea that the foreigner should adopt the traditions of the host country. Therefore, instead of restricting such a manifestation of religion, efforts should shift toward a more inclusive approach to strengthen dialogue between states and the Muslim organizations. Such an approach would encourage communication and understanding of wearing the full-face veil throughout Europe, promoting values of respect, acceptance, and coexistence in a social, plural, and democratic state.
This blog post is based on the research I conducted for my Master Thesis at Erasmus University Rotterdam, which led to the publication "Pertinence of a General Prohibition of the Burqa and Niqab in Spain: A Human Rights Perspective" in the Yearbook on Humanitarian Action and Human Rights.

Second cohomology group for trivial group action of V4 on Z4
From Groupprops
This article gives information about the second cohomology group for trivial group action (i.e., the second cohomology group with trivial action) of the group Klein four-group on cyclic group:Z4. The elements of this classify the group extensions with cyclic group:Z4 in the center and Klein four-group the corresponding quotient group. Specifically, these are precisely the central extensions with the given base group and acting group.
The value of this cohomology group is elementary abelian group:E8.

Description of the group
We consider here the second cohomology group for trivial group action of the Klein four-group on cyclic group:Z4, i.e.,
where and .
The cohomology group is isomorphic to elementary abelian group:E8. As a vector space over field:F2, it is a three-dimensional vector space.
Computation in terms of group cohomology
The cohomology group can be computed as an abstract group using the group cohomology of Klein four-group, which in turn can be computed using the Kunneth formula for group cohomology combined with the group cohomology of cyclic group:Z2.
We explain here the part of the computation based on the group cohomology of Klein four-group. As per that page, we have:
Here, is the quotient of by and .
In our case, , so we get that both and are both isomorphic to . Plugging in, we get:
which is the elementary abelian group of order eight.
FACTS TO CHECK AGAINST (second cohomology group for trivial group action):
Background reading on relationship with extension groups: Group extension problem
Arithmetic functions of extension group:
order (thus all extension groups have the same order): order of extension group is product of order of normal subgroup and quotient group
nilpotency class: nilpotency class of extension group is between nilpotency class of quotient group and one more for central extension
derived length: derived length of extension group is bounded by sum of derived length of normal subgroup and quotient group
minimum size of generating set: minimum size of generating set of extension group is bounded by sum of minimum size of generating set of normal subgroup and quotient group|minimum size of generating set of quotient group is at most minimum size of generating set of group
WHAT'S THE TABLE BELOW?: Recall that there is a correspondence:
Elements of the group for the trivial group action congruence classes of central extensions with the specified subgroup and quotient group .
This descends to a correspondence:
Orbits for the group action of on pseudo-congruence classes of central extensions.
The table below breaks down the second cohomology group as a union of these orbits, with (as a general rule) each row describing one orbit, i.e., one "cohomology class type", aka one "pseudo-congruence class" of central extensions. The number of rows is the number of pseudo-congruence classes of central extensions.
We list here the elements, grouped by similarity under the action of the automorphism groups on both sides.

Explicit description and relation with power-commutator presentation
Further information: power-commutator presentation, presentations for groups of order 16#Power-commutator presentations
Consider an extension group with central subgroup isomorphic to (cyclic group:Z4) and quotient group isomorphic to Klein four-group. Denote by elements of that form a basis for (i.e., they are unequal non-identity elements). Denote by a generator for and by the element .
Let be elements of that map to respectively.
Then, generate . Moreover, we can construct a power-commutator presentation for using these generators. Specifically, we know that and are all in the set . Moreover, we also have that and this tells us that in fact . The upshot is that we know that and we need to specify the values of . This is a total of five numbers.
Some further whittling down is necessary. Note that by replacing by if necessary, we can make sure that . Similarly, by replacing by is necessary, we can make sure that . Thus, we have three values that need to be specified. The mapping that sends a cohomology class to this triple of values, each viewed as an element of cyclic group:Z2, is an isomorphism.
The generic presentation we have is:
Based on the choices of , we get an actual presentation and an actual extension. The table below lists the possibilities:
Corresponding extension group
Nilpotency class
0 0 0 direct product of Z4 and V4 10 1
1 0 0 direct product of Z8 and Z2 5 1
0 0 1 central product of D8 and Z4 13 2
1 0 1 M16 6 2
Action of automorphism group of acting group
By pre-composition, the automorphism group of the Klein four-group acts on the second cohomology group. Under this action, there are four orbits, corresponding to the four group extensions given above. Specifically, the 3 cohomology classes that give direct product of Z8 and Z2 are in one orbit, while the 3 cohomology classes that give M16 are in another orbit.
Action of automorphism group of base group
The automorphism group of the base group has no effect on the cohomology classes. This is because this automorphism, the inverse map, pulls back trivially to the acting group, which has exponent two.
Description of group actions in terms of explicit descriptions of elements
The automorphism group of the Klein four-group can be thought of as matrices, and these naturally act on a two-dimensional vector space with basis . This is the desired action. is fixed by the automorphism group.

Direct sum decomposition
For background information, see formula for second cohomology group for trivial group action of abelian group in terms of Schur multiplier and abelianization
General background
We know from the general theory that there is a natural short exact sequence:
where the image of is , i.e., the group of cohomology classes represented by symmetric 2-cocycles (and corresponding to the abelian group extensions). We also know, again from the general theory, that the short exact sequence above splits, i.e., has a complement inside . However, there need not in general be a natural or even an automorphism-invariant choice of splitting.
In this case
See also second cohomology group for trivial group action is internal direct sum of symmetric and cyclicity-preserving 2-cocycle subgroups if acting group is elementary abelian 2-group and every element of order two in the base group is a square
In terms of the general background, one way of putting this is that the skew map:
has a section (i.e., a reverse map):
whose image is of cohomology classes represented by cyclicity-preserving 2-cocycles (see cyclicity-preserving subgroup of second cohomology group for trivial group action). Thus, the natural short exact sequence splits, and we get an internal direct sum decomposition:
A pictorial description of this is as follows. Here, each column is a coset of and each row is a coset of . The top left entry is the identity element, hence the top row corresponds to abelian group extensions and the left column corresponds to cyclicity-preserving 2-cocycles.
direct product of Z4 and V4 direct product of Z8 and Z2 direct product of Z8 and Z2 direct product of Z8 and Z2
central product of D8 and Z4 M16 M16 M16
The automorphism action acts as symmetric group:S3 on the three columns other than the left column, but preserves rows.

Generalized Baer Lie rings
The examples here illustrate the cocycle halving generalization of Baer correspondence.
The direct sum decomposition (discussed in the preceding section):
gives rise to some examples of the cocycle halving generalization of Baer correspondence. For any group extension arising as an element of , the additive group of its Lie ring arises as the group extension corresponding to the projection onto , and the Lie bracket coincides with the group commutator.
In the description below, the additive group of the Lie ring of a given group is the unique abelian group in the column corresponding to that group.
Thus, we have two correspondences emerging:
GAP ID
Additive group of Lie ring

Q: UI snaps on change of state useRef Is there a reason for useRef hook to not get updated on time, im using it for setting state and change css property with emotionjs

A: Keep in mind that changing the value of useRef does not initiate a re-render of the state. If you want a re-render, use useState.

The last stop before Tokyo on the 7-hour bus ride was the Ebina Service Area. That's where I snapped this great picture of the sun about to rise.
When I finally made it back, there were a few things I needed to do right away. Visit my nieces!!
And feed them with the famous Futaba manju's I brought back with me.
Then I needed to remind myself of home.
And share a taste of Kyoto with my coworkers.
I finally got rid of my cough. But to stay safe I ate this negi-meshi-chazuke to soothe my throat.
After work, Shuga, Boom, and I had a little reunion party at Sukiya. Man, it's been months since we've been here. haha.
I will miss Kyoto, but home is home and it feels good to be back.


Wee cutie. <3 My dog (Lhasa apso) is similarly getting on in age, and has had a lot of health problems over the past year. Nonetheless, this has not stopped him being as greedy, awkward and demanding as he has always been. Good thing that we love him!
I love these videos of your little furry baby, so cute. You wouldn't believe she's elderly from the carrot enthusiasm, but I feel a little sorry for her losing her senses and feeling lost without you near.
Thanks! Overall, she is quite spry for her age (she is on medication for arthritis). I have to say, she handles her fading sight much better than I do. While I worry and even cry over it, she just gets on with life. Dogs are awesome like that.
That's a lot of dancing for a little carrot.
That's too cute for words. The build-up is amazing! Such bliss, over a baby carrot!

FLAME LEFT TO RUE MISSED CHANCES
South Coast Flame were left to wonder what could've been as they surrendered a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Prospect United. Matthew Mazevski gave the Flame an early lead whilst Andrew Christie also put his name on the score-sheet in the first half. Thomas Kasunic converted an early second-half penalty before Kasunic levelled the game in the 63rd minute. Both sides fought tooth and nail in the remaining half-an-hour, but neither side found a winner.
South Coast's U/18's kicked-off the day in clinical fashion with a good 4-0 win, but our U/20's suffered a 2-1 loss – in a game which could've been very different had South Coast been more clinical in front of goal.
Mazevski gave the Flame an early lead in just the fourth minute after a magnificent strike from 25 yards – and it seemed that the Flame were in the ascendancy.
South Coast continued to pressure Prospect down their right side. In the 10th minute, Alex Boardman was able to feed the ball to Seiya Oba, before Oba cut the ball onto his left foot and struck the ball towards goal. The shot destined for the bottom-right corner was saved by Mario Farias.
Several cheap turnovers of possession by the Flame gave Prospect a chance to advance, however United couldn't capitalise.
South Coast moved the ball swiftly in the first-half and could've had more goals.
Flame doubled their lead in the 28th minute when Christie was able to connect with the ball at the near-post, after an Oba corner.
South Coast were in control and looked to pressurise Prospect through swift movement of the ball, however they couldn't capitalise on their territorial dominance.
Prospect were able to create a chance in the 38th minute, when Nicholas Valjak was able to cross the ball from the left-wing into Kasunic. Kasunic's header that followed struck the left post.
Valjak was able to move towards goal in the 45th minute after bypassing the Flame defence. The shot that followed was magnificently saved by Matthew White, as the first-half concluded.
Prospect came out of the sheds with intent and began the second half with a lot more intensity than the first.
United were awarded a penalty in the 53rd minute after an unfortunate handball in the Flame's penalty box. Kasunic rose the occasion and calmly converted the penalty.
South Coast looked to settle the game in the 56th minute, when Yuki Mandai pushed the ball into the path of Hiroaki Ushijima. Ushijima's cross travelled across the face of goal and was not met by an oncoming attacker.
Prospect levelled the game in the 63rd minute, when Joel Bayubahe crossed the ball from the right-wing towards Kasunic – and the header that followed was judged to have crossed the goal-line despite a desperate save from Matt White.
The Flame were under pressure from United and needed to hold firm in order to prevent another Prospect goal.
The match turned into a physical encounter – especially in midfield – and Prospect seemed to be winning the battle.
South Coast thought they had their third goal of the match in the 69th minute, when a Justin Smith header found the back of the net – however he was unfortunately ruled offside.
Louis Connell made an immediate impact off the bench for the Flame and looked to be South Coast's main threat in front of goal. He was able to latch onto the ball in front of goal in the 75th minute, however his powerful shot that followed narrowly missed the left post.
Connell was at it again in the 84th minute, when he attacked down the right-wing and executed a low cross across goal – but there was nobody to meet the ball.
Prospect were pushing for their third goal in the dying stages of the match, and nearly had a winner in the 90th minute. Vukovic was able to easily beat the Flame defence and get a shot on goal, however White pulled off a brilliant save. The ball very nearly bounced into the net however it was contained.
The full-time whistle blew, and South Coast were wondering what could've been had they'd taken advantage of their first-half dominance.
Captain White believes that the Flame need to take their chances in front of goal.
"We really need to be ruthless in front of goal. We had a lot of chances tonight and – as I said – we should've put the game to bed in the first half" White said.
"Moving forward, we need to work on playing for the full 90 minutes and taking our chances as they come."
Our U/20's suffered their third-straight loss after going down 2-1 in the earlier game. South Coast were made to pay for their wastefulness in front of goal, as Prospect were able to pinch two goals against the run of play.
The U/18's made light work of Prospect in a 4-0 win. A double from Deakin Brownlee along with goals from Reagan Strong and Ryan Chard sealed a comfortable win.
South Coast will have a week off next weekend as they have a bye round. This will be the Flame's first of two byes this season. South Coast's next match will be against the Hurstville City Minotaurs on the 12th of May at Ilinden Sports Centre. U/18's kick off at 3pm, U/20's kick off at 5pm and First Grade kick off at 7pm.

Paul Sherwen's Humanitarian Legacy
Paul Sherwen died unexpectedly in Kampala, Uganda on December 2, 2018. Along with his broadcast partner of over 30 years, Phil Liggett, he provided dynamic narration about the sport to millions of English speaking cycling fans worldwide. His storytelling was a gift that made racing understandable and the sport's history relatable, and he provided an invaluable contribution by nurturing the emotional hook which connected many new fans to pro cycling. But sport was only one part of Sherwen and his life's work, and the void he leaves transcends his impact on cycling. What most of the cycling world never saw was his tireless work in the service of others – as an entrepreneur, mentor, and humanitarian. Sherwen had another and entirely separate life in his adopted homeland of Uganda – completely beyond the narrow sphere of professional cycling – where his contributions were just as great,...


For a background on how I came upon this truck and decided to try it out, read the first couple paragraphs of my review on the buggy version.	This	is	the same vehicle underneath, it just has a full-sized racing truck body on it and no wing. Like the buggy, this one comes in a package that gives no clues as to what company makes it, and it includes no instructions. What it does include in the $20 price is a rechargable battery pack for the truck, a charger, and two AA's for the controller, so it's literally everything you need to run. You just need to charge the main battery for about 4 hours, plug everything in, and drive.
In spite of the suspiciously generic packaging, this truck performs as well as vehicles from the big name brands, if not better. Its speed is very good for its size and it gets up to that speed quickly. It's equally at home inside or out, though because of its speed it does like to have plenty of space to stretch its legs out. Styled as an off-road racing truck, it thankfully does successfully tackle off-road terrain, as you'll see in the video below. The spring suspension is a little stiff, so it bounces around a lot over small bumps and rocks, and that slows it down a bit, but it doesn't get stuck easily on dirt or even loose gravel.
P.S.: No, I don't get paid if you click that link!

Yamaha Announces ProVisionaire Version 3.8 Update
November 9, 2020 — Yamaha is excited to announce the latest version of the ProVisionaire Control (Windows) and ProVisionaire Touch (iOS) software applications, adding support for RM series devices and IDK video switchers.
Yamaha ProVisionaire software allows enhanced, wireless remote control of a broad range of Yamaha and Nexo PA products via fully customized, virtual control panels operated with Windows (ProVisionaire Control) or iOS (ProVisionaire Touch) devices. Even users with no programming or sound reinforcement experience can use templates to arrange faders, switches, photos and other widgets on a single display page via the intuitive tablet device interface , easily creating touch-controlled surfaces that are a perfect match for their individual commercial spaces such as conference rooms, retail stores, restaurants, banquet halls, and more. ProVisionaire Control also features unified device monitoring functionality for Yamaha pro audio equipment, allowing easy, rapid detection of faults that aren't readily visible from a device's exterior, while logs make it simple to identify the source of a problem.
The new version 3.8 update will expand support for audio systems, integrating RM series components from Yamaha's ADECIA solution, a lineup of communication products released by Yamaha in early September that is designed to provide user-friendly, customizable audio systems that deliver professional quality sound in business-oriented environments/meeting spaces.

The ADECIA lineup comprises VXL Series line-array Dante PoE powered speakers, a Yamaha Dante-optimized network switch, Yamaha's new RM-CG dynamic beamforming ceiling array microphone, and the RM-CR remote conference processor. ProVisionaire already supports VXL PoE powered speakers, and with the new Version 3.8 update users will be able to remotely control the RM-CG and RM-CR's parameters , making the ADECIA solution even easier to operate and manage.

This update will give users additional remote picture-in-picture and power supply control, providing broader compatibility between Yamaha and IDK devices and more comprehensive system control for conference rooms, halls, multipurpose halls, and theaters that handle both audio and video content.
"We developed the ProVisionaire software applications to enhance and ease the often challenging management and control of a sound reinforcement system, particularly for commercial environments and operated by users lacking in relevant experience" said Motome Tanaka, Yamaha Group Manager of the PA Marketing & Sales Group. "With the release of the ProVisionaire 3.8 update with additional support for the RM series and IDK video switchers to expand the growing range of compatible devices and support a broader base of conferencing, and even audio-visual applications at a time when remote features and compatibility offer a significant advantage."
