Out-thundered and sundered, San Diego squashes Seattle 7-4

The roof was closed from the start on a blustery afternoon in Seattle, with rare thunderstorms in the forecast.

NC State avoids sweep with 7-2 win over UNC on Saturday

NC State managed to avert a sweep at the hands of UNC on Saturday afternoon, and, perhaps, did just enough to get into the NCAA tournament. It was as close to a must-win regular season game as those can be in college baseball for State, which has been on the NCAA tournament bubble for weeks. […]

Column: Grateful for everything they gave me

As I started my treacherous walk from the CNN Techwood Studios to my apartment on the Georgia Tech campus, sweat droplets began to permeate through the outer layer of my blue dress shirt. The Atlanta summer heat made a 15-minute walk feel like an exhausting hour-long journey across a hellish desert. Perhaps akin to my […]
