Saturday news and notes (updated throughout the day)

North Thurston alum Joash Brodin hit a “waddle off” grand slam last night in the Long Island Ducks’ 11-8 win over the Camden Riversharks. Skip to the 3:43:00 mark of the video above to see Brodin hit the very first pitch he saw in the at-bat well over the right field wall in Bethpage, New York to end the game. Brodin went 3-for-5 with two home runs and seven RBIs in total and is now hitting .336 with 11 homers and 42 RBIs for the independent Ducks.  – Box score
