Veteran midfielder Kyle Dixon piled up seven points and tied a Major League Lacrosse record with three 2-point goals as the Chesapeake Bayhawks opened the 2013 season by beating the Rochester Rattlers 17-14 in a wild shootout in front of 3,940 fans at Al Lang Stadium in St. Petersburg, Fla.
“It was a typical first game. We didn’t play great, but fortunately we got the win and that’s all that matters,” Chesapeake head coach Dave Cottle said.
Dixon, in his eighth MLL season, had … Read More »

Summary: The Ravens needed to come out of this draft with an inside linebacker and a safety, and with their first two picks, they got two really good players at those positions. Matt Elam has played high-level football at Florida, can move around (particularly up to the line of scrimmage) and make hits. He plays with fearlessness, can make plays in coverage with his good instincts and long arms and slotted in next to Read More »

First and foremost, the young man KNOWS how to play. He can play facing the basket or with his back to the basket. A trait which hasn’t been seen a ton of lately is passing the ball out of the post, and Geben does that well, too. We like his hands, he has good touch on his jumper and he’s an excellent rebounder.
The rugged Lithuanian totaled 12 points, 22 rebounds and five blocks in … Read More »

Some observations:
This is the deepest Maryland team I have ever seen. The final score was not indicative of how one-sided this match was. Maryland went from a5-3 halftime lead to a 12-4 game and thenn just put the ball in the deep freeze. Goalie Casey Howard who patiently waited her chance after playing behind Brittany Dipper for 3 years, led a … Read More »
Maryland overcame a one-run deficit with two runs in the sixth and rode the superb performance of starter Jake Stinnett to a 4-1 win over Duke on Sunday at Jack Coombs Field. With the victory, the Terps (25-21, 8-16 ACC) took two of three from the Blue Devils (25-22, 9-15 ACC) to secure a vital series win.
Stinnett was the star of Sunday’s game. The junior righty held the Blue Devils to no earned runs on five hits with four strikeouts … Read More »
It was interesting to see the players that the Ravens parted company with in the off-season. Although the bulk were jettisoned for salary cap and age reasons, a couple were let go because quite simply, they weren’t good team members. It is now clear by just looking at the Ravens’ draft picks, the type of player that they targeted. Below is a list compiled by Will Spencer of Draft Breakdown that in retrospect makes a whole lot of sense. Will … Read More »
I said yesterday that Jim Johnson had to have a day off today. Now we know who might just be the key to this team’s success. Just some thoughts.
I was surprised to see Buck leave Matusz in to face right handed slugger Cespedes. But if Buck has lost confidence in Tommy Hunter then his only alternative was Pedro. Enough said. Right now Pedro Strop is a disaster on the mound. His entrance into the game signaled defeat.
Look at … Read More »
The Orioles who have had terrible results at oakland the last several years take the series 3-1 and now the o’s have won their last 4 series winning 9 out of their last 13 games. A winable game but poor pitching, shoddy defense will get you beat most of the time. and don’t forget the o’s are playing against major leaguers. They’re not just going to roll over. If anyone thinks the bullpen will duplicate last year’s success you’re delusional. Most guys had … Read More »
