ATLANTA - Hunter Pence doesn’t get mad. He doesn’t get even. He just gets it. The Giants’ No. 5 hitter and inspirational leader never calls out or shows up an opponent. It’s always about respecting the game and the opposing pitcher. Even if the pitcher intentionally walks Buster Posey with Pence on deck, which happened in the eighth inning Tuesday night. Pence made Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez’s decision backfire with a three-run homer that broke a 3-3 tie and gave the Giants an 8-3 victory at Turner Field.

But they are bringing one of the most celebrated college quarterbacks in the state over to Dove Valley for a closer look. Mines QB John Matocha, the NCAA’s all-time leader in total touchdowns, received an invite to the Broncos’ rookie mini-camp next month, his former school announced in a news release Sunday morning.
