Sam Alfano Commits To Arizona State
Alfano, a product of Hamilton, Ont., just finished his overage season in the OHL, scoring 41 goals and adding 43 assists for 84 points in 68 regular season games with the Otters. With Erie having made the playoffs, Alfano collected six goals and 15 points in nine games.
Drafted by the Peterborough Petes in the second round of the 2020 OHL Priority Selection, Alfano spent parts of four seasons in the OHL with the Petes and the Otters, putting up 99 goals and 103 assists for 202 points in 258 career regular season games. Prior to making the jump to the junior level, Alfano played his minor hockey for the Southern Tier Admirals.
With Alfano off to join the Sun Devils, they will be getting a player who will immediately be one of their better offensive drivers. Having showed his ability to score at will this year, Alfano has the size and strength necessary to make the transition to the NCAA look seamless.

Not always pretty, but Red Sox bounce back for a much-needed victory
On Monday, neither Chapman nor Whitlock was available in what became a walkoff loss. Whitlock was recovering from flight turbulence-induced sickness, and Chapman was dealing with back spasms, leaving a wild and overworked Jordan Hicks the last man standing in the ninth. Advertisement Jarren Duran continued his hot streak with a 2-for-4 night. He had a double in the first inning and a no-doubt home run — off the face of the second deck in center field — in the fifth. Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Roman Anthony had another full night, with a walk, a single, a run scored, and an RBI. His is batting .275 with a .821 OPS, The Sox jumped ahead 4-0 in the third inning. Minnesota never cut the deficit to less than three. Lucas Giolito rebounded from a couple of post-All-Star-break hiccups to contribute a quality start: six innings, one run. It was hairy early, with the Twins going 0 for 5 with runners in scoring position in the first two innings, and laborious late, with Giolito needing 53 pitches to get through his last two innings. But the bottom-line results were much more in line with his June-into-July hot streak that aligned with the team's. Advertisement His biggest pitch may have been his last: a curveball — which registered at 79 miles per hour — to Harrison Bader, who swung and missed to end a threat in the sixth. Giolito, sweating profusely and top button undone on a humid night, walked off the mound with a big smile. Without scheduled starter Chris Paddack, whom they traded to the Tigers on Monday at the start of what may well become a pre-trade deadline selloff, the Twins turned to Pierson Ohl, a 25-year-old righthander making his major league debut. Ohl fooled the Red Sox briefly, with an assist from Bader, who in the second inning robbed Wilyer Abreu of an extra-base hit, maybe a home run, with a leaping catch at the wall in center field. But the Sox broke through for four runs in the third, Ohl's final frame. After Ceddanne Rafaela tripled with one out — his first extra-base hit since the All-Star break — Anthony brought him in with a single. Anthony's at-bat was a case study in quick adjustments. Already, Ohl had thrown him three changeups on the night. Anthony had swung and missed on each. On a fourth, though, well off the plate, Anthony reached over and got it, stroking a line drive to center. Anthony scored from first when left fielder Willi Castro bobbled Alex Bregman's double. Then Trevor Story came through with a two-run home run. Twins shortstop Carlos Correa exited after the second inning because of an illness. Advertisement Tim Healey can be reached at
