With Pimlico triumph, I'll Have Another keeps Triple Crown dream alive.
I’ll Have Another proved the skeptics wrong by winning the Preakness Stakes at Pimlico Race Course on Saturday in exactly the same way he won the Kentucky Derby two weeks ago. The Kentucky-bred chestnut colt chased down pre-race favorite Bodemeister in the stretch crossing the finish line first by a neck. In the process, I'll Have Another kept alive hopes for horse racing’s first Triple Crown champion in more than three decades. “More than anything, I’m glad I didn’t disappoint people,” said Mario Gutierrez, I’ll Have Another’s jockey. “Like I say, it’s not about me. It is about the horse. From day one, I’ve believed in him. I’m so happy for him because he’s just a great horse.” Affirmed, in 1978, was the last colt to capture the …

The surprise success of the Orioles and Nationals has the region buzzing.
The Orioles and Nationals "rivalry" has required quotations through the first few years of interleague play around the beltway. This year is different. Entering the three-game weekend set, beginning Friday night at Nationals Park, the two clubs are battling atop their divisions against clubs with star-studded rosters and larger payrolls. So as one of the most important series between these neighboring ball clubs gets underway, the Patch sites in the Maryland area are curious: who are you pulling for in this year's Battle of the Beltway? Are you cheering for Bryce Harper and the Nationals? Or are you behind Adam Jones and the Orioles? While we're at it, which team do you think stands the best chance of staying in the pennant race late into …

The Seahawks move into the state final four with a 9-2 win.
The South River boys lacrosse team is headed back to the state semifinals. With a 9-2 victory over Arundel High on Wednesday night, the Seahawks return to the final four after finishing as the state runner-up last season. "It's a pretty damn good feeling," said South River coach Paul Noone. A disciplined performance from the Seahawks on both ends of the field kept the high-scoring Wildcats off the scoreboard until the third quarter and ultimately sent them packing. Junior Ben Chisolm spearheaded South River's 3-0 first quarter lead, with a goal and an assist to his credit. Dyland Mansur and Matthew Gaskins added to the South River lead, as the hosts took a 5-0 lead into halftime. Gaskins was instrumental in the Seahawk attack, dominating …

Arundel and South River will square off in boys lacrosse Wednesday night.
It appeared unlikely that Arundel High and South River would get another crack at each other when the Maryland Public Secondary Schools Athletic Association boys' 4A lacrosse bracket came out last week. On Wednesday night, the Wildcats and Seahawks will get their chance. With a trip to the state semi-finals on the line, local rivals, Arundel and South River High will face off at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Joe Pappetti Field in Edgewater. The Seahawks defeated Arundel in last year's playoffs and edged the Wildcats during regular season play in April. South River are the reigning state runners up in boys' lacrosse.

South River edged its local rival Arundel, 8-7, to remain undefeated in county play.
The secret to the success of the South River boys lacrosse has never been about one individual player. It's not about coach Paul Noone either. It's about the team. A team win is exactly what the Seahawks demonstrated in coming back to defeat local rival Arundel High, 8-7, on a breezy Friday evening in Gambrills. "It's a team win. That's all it is," Noone said. "It has nothing to do with me. It has nothing to do with anybody here. Everybody as one. They pulled together, showed a little heart [and] came out of here with a [win]. That's what we needed." In the first half, it appeared as if Arundel senior Hunter Cetrone would will the host Wildcats to a victory over South River. Cetrone scored Arundel's first four goals, as the Wildcats held a…
