The best Peach ice cream I've ever had is the Graeter's Ice Cream, based in the Cincy. They have chunks of peach in it, not just peach flavoring. It is only available staring in about June for a couple of months.
The Athletics dropped their first game of the home stand on Monday evening, losing to the Seattle Mariners 3-1 in West Sacramento and starting things off on the wrong foot.
Sears shaky yet again
Lefty JP Sears got the ball for tonight’s start, his 22nd appearance of the year. He’s had a rough go of things recently but he was coming off a strong appearance last time out and he wanted to build on that success tonight against a division rival.
The San Francisco Giants were backed into a corner on Monday night. Hosting the Pittsburgh Pirates — a team bursting with former members of the orange and black — the Giants were playing their second straight game absent an established starter. With Hayden Birdsong back in the Minors and Landen Roupp landing on the IL, the Giants had to patch things up.
Most of July has been a slog for the Dodgers, but their stars played like stars in Monday night’s 5-2 win over the Reds at Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati.
Mookie Betts reached base three times and scored three runs. Shohei Ohtani had a two-run double and later walked and scored. Teoscar Hernández had two separate RBI singles, and Freddie Freeman added an RBI single as well.
California baseball head coach Mike Neu announced Monday that Anthony Gilich (gill-ICH) has agreed to become an assistant coach with the Golden Bears. Gilich spent the last two seasons as an assistant coach at Washington (2025) and Arizona State (2024) after a successful 16-year run at Central Arizona College (2008-23), where he captured a pair of NJCAA national titles (2019, '22) over his final nine seasons as the program's head coach after being elevated to the role in 2015.
California Athletics Hall of Famer and former Golden Bear rugby standout, Ray Lehner, was named the 2025 recipient of the prestigious Craig Sweeney Award. The award, presented by the US Rugby Foundation recognizes a past capped United States National Team member who is highly respected by the rugby community and, importantly, has given back to the sport following his playing days.
BERKELEY – Eleven home contests at Haas Pavilion and marquee road/neutral site matchups with Kansas State and UCLA highlight the Golden Bears' 2025-26 nonconference slate, announced today by the California men's basketball program. The Bears' schedule features the return of former Pac-12 foe Utah while adding four new opponents in out-of-league competition.

Made with fresh peaches, no doubt. Canned peaches kept me away from peaches for years.
Most likely. Otherwise it would be available year around.
