Familiar faces, unfamiliar places. Such is the life of a University baseball reporter with access to a car.
It turned out to be a good thing that I waited until the spring of my third year to start on my language requirement. I've been using French 105 as a daily personal therapy session for three weeks.
Call it fate. Call it destiny. Call it whatever you want. All that matters is that I made a lifelong friend in Liverpool, England last December. And this was no ordinary bloke.
GENEVA, SWITZERLAND We're going to have to make this quick. My eyelids won't be open much longer.
GENEVA, SWITZERLAND "Why do they hate us?"
GENEVA, Switzerland -- For two months, I have lived 15 minutes from Lake Geneva, sandwiched between the Jura Mountains and the Swiss Alps. I've traded my three history courses for three-day weekends, and North Face Nation for the most diverse city in the world. Genevan girls are so gorgeous that I'm determined to swing back through here when it comes time to find a wife, and the entire country is so clean that I sometimes feel my very presence is an affront to the Swiss state.
June 6, 2004: This was the day that officially marked the halfway point of my college career. It had nothing to do with when I finished my last exam. Nor did it have to do with moving out of the best house I've ever lived in. I didn't go home, and I didn't get a job. What I did do was cover my last game as the Virginia baseball associate editor, when the greatest season this program had ever seen came to an end with a loss to Vandy in the NCAA Regionals.
For anyone who has ever wondered about the slaughter rule in college baseball, last night's game against in-state rival Virginia Tech was a good opportunity to find out about it: There isn't one.
There's a team over at the Klockner Stadium complex that is having its best season in school history. They're sitting atop the ACC, are included in the national rankings and their most consistent player is Pennsylvania-bred.
The Virginia women's rowing team took home its fifth consecutive ACC title, sweeping the field at the ACC regatta. Their 40 overall points beat runner up Duke by 15.
Two Virginia Cavaliers took home gold medals from the 2004 ACC Track and Field Championships, held in Chapel Hill, N.C. All-American javelin thrower Inge Jorgensen won her third ACC title with a season-best throw of 173' 6", defeating the runner up by nearly 26 feet.
Things are looking brighter than ever for the boys at Davenport Field.
WILLIAMSBURG, Va. -- Sometimes, it's the ugliest games that are the most fulfilling.
After watching Virginia effectively ice their rainout win over Brown last night by scoring nine two-out runs in the first inning, the intensity of the game was completely sapped. I decided to venture out of the press box and mingle with the people -- all 10 of them that actually showed up in weather more fit for a Seattle Mariners diehard. For two innings plus the 30-minute rain delay, I kept company with a pair of injured pitchers that man the radar gun behind home plate every game, Jeff Kamrath and Mike Ballard.
It was No. 25 Virginia's best 1-2-3 punch versus the ACC's best closer in the final inning of Sunday's game at N.C. State, but baseball's law of averages prevailed as the Cavaliers (20-7, 5-4 ACC) fell for the second game in a row, 8-7. The loss marks the Cavaliers' second straight ACC series loss since sweeping Georgia Tech.
Possibly the greatest single-season duo in the history of Virginia wrestling just finished a run through the national championship tournament -- and no one seemed to notice.
The road to a national title runs through the Gateway to the West for Scott Moore and Tim Foley, who will represent Virginia in the 2004 NCAA wrestling championships this week in St. Louis. Both of the fifth-year seniors secured automatic bids to nationals with individual ACC championship performances at the conference tournament last week.
RICHMOND, Va. -- The Cavaliers improved their record to 10-1 -- the best start for a Virginia baseball team since 1998 -- with a 14-6 throttling of Richmond yesterday afternoon on an overcast day at Pitt Field. The Cavaliers scored more runs in the second inning than Richmond could muster the entire game and were never dealt a serious threat.
Move over, Todd Billet. Scott Headd wants in.
After emphatically nipping any prospect of a losing streak in the bud Tuesday with a 10-1 stomping of James Madison, Virginia looks to build momentum in a three-game series against visiting Seton Hall this weekend.
