Sounds leadoff hitter Matt Carson - who had already been on base three times in the game without even registering a hit - led off the ninth with a double.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. - The Nashville Sounds Foundation hosted the Sounds Annual Fantasy Baseball Clinic on Monday morning at First Tennessee Park.

When John Altobelli was informed that P.J. Jones, one of his contracted catchers, was not coming to Brewster he knew just the guy to call. He put in a phone call to one of his former team captains, a player who led his team, Orange Coast College, to an OEC Championship and a No. 1 national ranking.

It was not some sort of religious awakening that kept Hunter Halder in Portugal after he made a one-week pilgrimage to the Basilica at Fatima, Portugal. “I fell for the tour guide and she made the mistake of falling for me, and we had a baby,” Halder said. The marriage did not last, but Portugal became his children’s home and the Richmond, Virginia native stayed.

By Danny Medlock (@DannyMedlock) and Steve Uhlmann (@suhlmann12) Due to the success of the Ohio basketball program, John Groce became an in-demand commodity. The University of Illinois made him an offer he could not refuse, and Ohio was in need of a new coach. Athletic Director Jim Schaus took just 4 days to offer the job to Jim Christian.

Craig Leon winning the Eugene Marathon. As he made his way through the scenic town of Eugene, Oregon and up through the gates at famous Hayward Field at the University of Oregon, Craig Leon had to marvel at what he just accomplished. “It was a weird feeling,” he said. “At no point during training did I think I was going to win that race, I just wanted to finish.”.

The 2013 Brewster Whitecaps had some fun in their last game on the Cape. Coach John Altobelli turned his guys loose, and let them have a night they would remember the rest of their life. Scott Heineman, the team's MVP, got the opportunity to be Buster Posey for a night. The former Yarmouth-Dennis great - turned NL MVP with the San Francisco Giants - once famously played all nine positions in a game at Florida State.

Ohio University’s College portrait states that 86 percent of Ohio students are Ohio natives. On the contrary, on the Ohio football team there are 52 out-of-state players, out of roughly 114 players. Nearly half of the team is out-of-state. The green boy/girl icon indicates an area where multiple recruits on the roster were signed from.

Stevie Taylor made one shot Saturday afternoon, it was a pretty big one. With 31.7 seconds remaining in overtime, and Ohio trailing by two, Bobcats star point guard D.J. Cooper fouled out. The player whom “BobcatNation” had come to expect to hit the big shot to win a close game was forced to watch the game’s most pivotal possession from the sideline.

On eight attempts, the Ohio Bobcats were able to execute four successful punts in their 26-14 loss to Bowling Green Wednesday night. That’s right, punts. A punt is so much more than how far the punter can kick the ball, it takes the other 10 guys working together to prevent the receiving team from blocking the kick.

Every summer night on Cape Cod, kids watch in awe as future major leaguers play a game they have come to love. The kids get to know these players off the field as well, chasing them for autographs after the game, and participating in the clinics run by the teams and its players. Nick Lynch was once one of those kids.
