Sitting in the bleachers at Davenport, watching Virginia baseball struggle against the Lancers, I felt ashamed to be a Virginia fan.
The Virginia softball team has another chance this weekend to capitalize on midweek momentum as it faces Boston College in a three-game ACC series at The Park.

O'Connor had his work cut out for him as he made numerous trips onto the field to dispute questionable calls with umpires and visited the mound five times to change pitchers as Virginia used almost all of its top relievers to get the win. The storyline for the Cavaliers was their confidence and repeated success in clutch situations, none of which was bigger than senior Brandon Marsh's two-out, game-winning single in the bottom of the ninth inning that drove in freshman Tyler Cannon.

Organic chemistry lab was the bane of my existence. Despite the fact that students averaged around a 50 percent on the finalexam (isn't that a delightful exam to take) and the grading system is designed so students are rewarded for the failures of their lab partners, we're repeating the same experiments done by thousands of students for the past century.
