Jun. 9—MOHEGAN — Much has been said (and written) about the Connecticut Sun’s recent flurry of games by both the team and outsiders.

The Sun had played nine games in 17 days. They concluded that stretch with four games in six days on the West Coast, including back-to-back games in Las Vegas and Phoenix.

Connecticut returned home to Mohegan Sun Arena on Wednesday night still a bit weary to play against the fast-paced Indiana Fever, not an ideal matchup for a team that could benefit from a slower game.

And now comes the “but”…

“We said it going into the game — nobody cares,” Sun Jonquel Jones said after an 88-69 win before 4,088 at Mohegan Sun Arena.

“Nobody cares if you didn’t sleep. Nobody cares if you have a back-to-back. … People see wins and they see losses. They don’t see all the circumstances that were behind it. So that was the main thing that we had going into that game, that no matter what (Indiana) did, there was never a feeling that we couldn’t punch them back, that we couldn’t get back into the game.”

It was the fourth straight win for the Sun (10-3). It was their 10th game in 20 days.

“It’s a unique challenge coming off the stretch that we’ve come off of,” Connecticut head coach Curt Miller said. “The challenge of your first game back is (it’s) always interesting to see what you have in the tank, and we were certainly still fatigued and tired going into this game.

“Really pleased that we came away with an important home victory tonight. Even with some fatigue and tired legs, we found a way to keep that team that plays either one or two in pace in the league and can really fly up-and-down the floor to under 20 (points) each quarter. That’s big.”

WILKES BARRE, PA – Harness racing trainer Ron Burke and driver Simon Allard made for a successful pairing on the Saturday afternoon card at The Downs at Mohegan Sun Pocono, winning the feature pace and also combining to post the quickest trotting time of the year.

Trainer Ron Burke

Ultimaroca (Rockin Image) has now won half of his eight seasonal starts after taking the $17,500 pacing feature in a lifetime best 1:49.4.

The gelding went to the quarter in :26.3, briefly yielded to Lets Roll then retook the top before the blistering :53.4 half, went on to a 1:21.4 three-quarters, then still had enough to roll home in :28 four lengths superior to first-over favorite Straight Up Cool.

Allard guided the winner, making only his second start in almost three months, for trainer Burke and the ownership of Burke Racing Stable LLC, Weaver Bruscemi LLC, and Phil Collura.

ULTIMAROCA REPLAY

The fastest trotting mile of 2022 at Pocono, 1:52.1, was turned in by the Explosive Matter four-year-old gelding Storm Is Raging, who is now three-for-three since coming under Burke’s care.

Allowed to escape at 12-1 while jumping several classes, sharp form trumped “class” here as Allard tucked third early, then rushed the developing diamondgaiter to the lead heading to the three-quarters and stormed home in 28.1 to leave heavy favorite Third Shift 3 1/2 lengths in his wake.

The vastly improved horse is co-owned by Carl Cocciolone, Mark Sosovicka, and Jack Piatt III.

STORM IS RAGING REPLAY

Storm Is Raging set his standard in an undercard event; the $17,500 featured trot went to Rich And Miserable, a winner of $621,589 who rallied from behind a fast pace to tally in 1:52.3, a half-length ahead of…

The Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (DEM) is investigating the discharge of partly treated wastewater from the Woonsocket Regional Wastewater Treatment Facility located at 11 Cumberland Hill Road in Woonsocket. 

DEM says it was first made aware of the discharge on the morning of June 5. The discharge is currently ongoing.

As a precaution, DEM is advising residents to temporarily refrain from both primary contact recreational water activities (wading, swimming) and secondary contact activities (canoeing, kayaking, rowing, and fishing) and to avoid consuming any fish from the river from the location of the discharge, at Cumberland Hill Road in Woonsocket, to the Slater Mill Dam in Pawtucket (see map).

This advisory is in effect until further notice.

Facility Cited Previously

The treatment plant, operated by the private contractor Jacobs, treats about 10 million gallons of sewage daily, according to DEM, who is investigating the cause of this loss of treatment and monitoring steps being taken by the city and its vendor to ensure a return to permit compliance.

DEM says that it issued letters of noncompliance to the facility in November 2021 and March 2022 regarding operations and maintenance concerns.

On Friday, Connecticut Sun head coach Curt Miller said this season’s Sun’s roster was deeper than it has been since he became head coach. Two days later, the team lost their captain for the season.

Jasmine Thomas went down after colliding with Alaina Coates as she drove to the rim for a routine layup in the Sun’s win over the Indiana Fever on Sunday. She immediately clutched her right knee after hitting the ground, and stayed on the ground until the referees called the next play dead.

Thomas was able to walk off the floor with the help of Sun head athletic trainer Nicole Alexander, but an MRI on Monday confirmed the worst – Thomas tore the ACL in her right knee and will miss the rest of the 2022 season, the Sun said in a news release.

It will be the first time the reliable Thomas will miss time for injury in her 12-year WNBA career, according to the Sun. She has played in 358 games, missing only seven due to overseas commitments, rest and a family commitment, the team said.

“Of course, I’m sad that I won’t be able to continue playing on the court with this special team,” Thomas said in the Sun’s news release. “Everyone has been supportive and uplifting, and I’m just preparing mentally and emotionally to attack my recovery. I will continue to be a vocal leader and support my team from the sidelines. They’re incredible and I’m excited about what they’re going to achieve.”
