There's no error message. When I save the 75th boxer and go out of the game, I come back in to find that it didn't save. I've tried powercycling the console, in addition to other methods I mentioned in the original post.
Though it's no consolation to Curry, his 47 points were the second-most ever by a player in a finals game loss. The only time someone scored more and wasn't on the winning team that night was LeBron James, who scored 51 points on this same Oracle Arena floor in Game 1 of last year's title series. Golden State wound up sweeping Cleveland.
Thompson didn't play because of his strained left hamstring, Looney's season is over because of an upper-body injury sustained in Game 2 and Durant sat out for the eighth consecutive game with a calf injury. Game 4 of this series is Friday, and it wouldn't be surprising to see both Durant and Thompson back in the lineup for the two-time defending NBA champions. Thompson was lobbying to play Wednesday, and Durant has been ramping up toward a return.
"The moment is now," Curry said. "You've got to try to have a next-man-up mentality, like we always say, and just go out and fight. We did that tonight. We can play better, obviously better on the defensive end. But I liked the competitiveness that we had, understanding that we're missing 50 points pretty much between KD and Klay."
Curry's night ended there, with the eighth-highest single-game scoring performance in NBA Finals history. He also had eight rebounds and seven assists, ending with a stat line that only James has done in a finals game.
Jarry missed seven games since being injured in the first period of the 2023 Discover NHL Winter Classic at Fenway Park in Boston, a 2-1 loss to the Boston Bruins on Jan. 2. He was one save shy of tying his career high of 45 in a 3-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning on Oct. 23, 2019.
"I thought I was seeing the puck well," Jarry said. "I've had a little bit of time off. Obviously, it's never easy having to watch games and it's never easy having to watch guys go out every night and give it their all, and you can't be out there with them."
"The guys, they kept pushing. They tried," Ottawa coach D.J. Smith said. "I thought if you look at the chances, Jarry made some unreal saves. If he's not as hot as he is tonight, we probably get a bunch more."

A few improbable things have to happen: the FA have to fight harder for their own competition, the Premier League have to raise their eyes above their pockets and football at large has to convince itself that the competition which once represented everything that was glorious about the game is still worth saving.
Golota did it again Saturday night, just as he did in the first Bowe-Golota fight in July. Once again, Golota was disqualified for low blows and Bowe was awarded a victory. Once again, Golota was winning the fight on the scorecards of all three judges when the bout was stopped. But once again, Golota resorted to dirty tactics, and the outcome further tarnished Golota's reputation and raised serious questions about his future.
Bowe not so much won the fight as he survived it. The crowd of 12,013 at the Atlantic City Convention Center saw nine rounds of punishing heavyweight action that tested Bowe's courage and chin. Bowe was floored in the second round and in the fifth, and Golota staggered him on several other occasions. But Bowe, a former heavyweight champion, refused to quit. He knocked Golota down in the fourth round; he survived when lesser fighters would have succumbed, and after the fight, it was Golota who was taken to a local hospital with a possible broken jaw.
February 16, 2004 It is hard to imagine a team more prepared and excited forOpening Day then we were, but our opening series with ChristopherNewport, ranked No. 3 in the nation, was washed out.The commitment of all 31 players since practice began inSeptember was clearly above and beyond the level of any previousyear. Of course, all that hard work was rewarded on our lastpre-season weekend as we soaked and relaxed our minds and bodies inthe slightly cool waters of Lake Lanier.The team's excitement for the coming season was best expressedby the rarely seen, but always enjoyed, "Freshman Semi-FormalDance." The brainchild of the normally reserved Jason Glushon, thisyear's ensemble could be said to be the second-best freshman dancein team history. For the second year in a row, the "highlight" ofthe evening was Aaron Rosdal's solo dance exhibition.Our team is young this year, but that fact does not affect ourconfidence entering the season. With experience in our startinglineup and our opening weekend pitching rotation backed up to faceSouth region rivals Sewanee (Tuesday) and Washington and Lee(Wednesday), we look to start the season strong.Our bats should help pitchers Will Carr get some wins as astarter (for a change) and back sophomore Tommy Mieczkowski as hebrings the "Bull Dance" from the batting cage out to the pitcher'smound.February 23, 2004 This poem is intended to better Jason Glushon and give furtherevidence to the fact that Grabber is the King of the Emory baseballdiary.Clouds disappeared, water drained away,So it was time to get the 2004 season underway.Up first on the schedule was Sewanee, to lose to them would be asin,Because every time Will Carr steps on the mound it's a guaranteedwinEach time I ask him, "Will, how do you do it, what could itbe?"He always responds, "I'm telling you it's the D."I don't mean to slight the offense, they surely were greatPinckney went deep and Schorr went 4-for-4 at the plateThat game ended with Emory 12 and Sewanee 4,Little did we know that the next day against W&L wouldn't be aboreWe had only 1 hit through 7, yet were leading 1-0To put the game out of reach we needed a heroJust like that they stole a run before the final outBut we were going to win this game, there wasn't a doubtThere wasn't one hero, in fact there were thirty-oneWe all went crazy when Justin Gordon scored the game-winningrunDaniel Kaufman got the win, he never ran out of steamEven though he pitched the last 6 of this game that went 15.On Thursday we had off; what a beautiful day!But most of us just slept it awaySaturday meant Brescia and a chance for revengeThey took one from us last year, it wouldn't happen againThe bats got hot with 2 runs in the first inningBut Brescia didn't know that it was only the beginningPinckney had 3 hits, even he was having funBut the place went wild on Josh Barrett's home runZaychik pitched well, he made it look effortlessJust like his changeup, which made batters whiffSunday's game was filled with runs, sun, and funCunningham dropped a bomb; Brescia knew it was doneCarr pitched eight strong and Glush shut it downBrescia left the field with only a frownBeing 4-0 is great, what a start!But they were hard fought battles won with heartThis week will be rough, 6 games in allSo come to Chappell Park and watch Emory ball. March 1, 2004 The Emory baseball Eagles put up six wins this week, setting thepace for all contending teams in the South Region at 10-0. The batsbacked solid pitching performances up and down our staff by scoringruns in bunches. As of now the team has outscored opponents 98 to32, posting a .350 team batting average.Though Coach T attributes the team's success to "good coaching,"the general feeling in the dugout is that we have been riding thestrength of our superior D to victory. Anchored up the middle bycaptains Rob Segear and Adam Schorr (who went the distance thisweekend with 35 innings behind the plate), the defense hascommitted only 12 errors in 459 chances. The 10 rally-killingdouble plays turned by the defense attests to the ability of our Dto come up big in the clutch.A week of winning culminated with a tournament championship inthe annual Rawlings Tournament held here at Emory. It is fortunatethat the team is already displaying mid-season form with the tarpas the weekend action saw rain, frost and warm sunny skies.The on-field action was strong preparation for the UAAtournament coming up in just over a week. The depth of our pitchingstaff set us above the competition last weekend. While our hittersenjoyed the tired arms from deep in our opponents' bullpens, werode clutch pitching performances in all four tournament games.Both wins on Sunday were claimed by first-time winners for theEagles: Jason Glushon threw 7.1 innings of scoreless relief throughseveral tenuous situations in Game 1 and Kris "Country" Herringpicked up his first win in Game 2. When asked for a comment on theweekend, one excited fan replied, "Those teams just flat out raninto a buzzsaw." March 15, 2004The last two weeks have been a blur.It started with a win over a solid Southern Polytechnic Statesquad in which Steve Zaychik notched another win with 6.2 scorelessinnings of work. But if you ask Zaychik he would say that his mostimpressive stat was his eight strikeouts. Little did Zaychik knowthat he would soon be outdone by Will "All I do is win" Carr, butwe will get to that in a minute.A couple days pass and we're off to scenic Sanford, Florida, inhopes of winning the UAA title outright and staying undefeated.Armed with the offense, defense, and our bus driver, we were readyto go to war. We knew it would be tough having to face Brandeis(Mass.) and Washington University in St. Louis both twice but wewere confident.The first game, against Brandeis, we found ourselves in a 3-0hole, but the offense showed up as Sam Cunningham dropped a solobomb to pull the game even and we scored two in the top of ninth towin 6-4. Will Carr earned his fourth win of the season and KeithMeizler picked up the save.Our second game followed in similar fashion. We find ourselvesin a 5-3 hole going into the top of the ninth against theUniversity of Rochester, but this time Ryan Lollar smoked a ballthat the Rochester shortstop booted to start the rally. JustinGordon reached on a second consecutive error by the shortstop andby this time Rochester knew it was in trouble.It's hard to think who didn't have a hit in that inning but whenit was all said and done we had tallied eight runs and won 11-5.Congratulations go to Rich Babb who won his first collegiate game.Washington University in St. Louis was next and even with theirhideous uniforms from the 1970s they still were not able to lickus. Aaron Rosdal, Andrew Pinckney, and Rob Segear all talliedmulti-hit games as we won this game 8-5. Zaychik turned in anotherimpressive pitching performance and Meizler came in to earn anothersave.At 3-0 in the tournament and 14-0 overall, at this point weweren't going to let Brandeis ruin our perfect record. Our batsexploded for 16 hits, but Brandeis matched us hit for hit. A clutchbases-loaded triple in the fourth by Aaron Rosdal proved to behuge. Timely pitching from Jason Glushon, who garnered his firstcollegiate start, as well as Anthony Vidal, who earned his firstcollegiate win pitching five strong innings, and Tyler Shearon whoclosed the game out, earned us a big win.As we began to get close to a championship we almost encountereda bump in the road with Case Western Reserve. Kris Herring pitchedexceptionally well, but our bats weren't giving him any support. Welet Case hang around until our half of the seventh when we scoredsix runs and then followed up with two in the eighth to win 11-2.The offense banged out 15 hits in all, and our stealing abilityshowed by swiping nine in all with three each from Pinckney andBarrett. In the end, Kris Herring was now 2-0 and we were 5-0 inthe tournament.The UAAs ended with us steamrolling of Washington. The offensebelted 16 hits as we jumped up 7-0, however Wash U. played toughand scored six runs, but then we added four more and won 11-6.Brye Adler pitched the first inning scoreless before giving wayto Will Carr who pitched 7 2/3 innings giving up only two earnedruns. But in very uncharacteristic behavior Will "All I do is Win"Carr struck out 10 batters leaving Steve Zaychik a bit salty andbitter. On top of his strikeouts, Will recorded his fifth winmoving to 5-0 on the season.With that win we won the UAA tournament and for the first timein team history went undefeated in Florida. The team felt so goodthat we decided to sweep Savannah College of Art and Design (Ga.)for good measure to move to 19-0, but I'll let Sam Cunningham tellyou all about that next week because I am tired.On a side note, on behalf of the team I would like to thank all theparents who were able to take time from their busy work schedulesand root us on in Sanford. We had more support than any other teamand your trademark chant of E-M-O-R-Y! in the seventh inning ofeach game won't be forgotten any time soon. Also, I would like tothank the parents who weren't able to make it, but waited by thephone to hear news on the Emory Baseball "Flying" Eagles.March 22, 2004Last week our team showed just how many ways we can winballgames. Upon returning from a conference sweep in Florida, wefaced a lineup of teams that had beaten us or played us tough lastyear.We began the week games in front of our home crowd with athree-game set against NAIA opponents SCAD and Iowa Wesleyan."Everyday" Keith Meizler picked up his first relief win of theseason in a come-from-behind win on Saturday, followed by anoffensive explosion as we completed a sweep of SCAD on Sunday.On Wednesday shortstop Rob Segear single-handedly propelled usto a 9-3 win over Iowa Wesleyan by driving in seven runs (includinghimself twice on a pair of home runs). Anthony Vidal got the win inhis first start, clearly getting stronger as the game went on. KrisHerring and Rich Babb, "El Guapo," came on in relief to seal thedeal.To keep us on our toes, Coach Twardoski penciled in a game thenext day against Maryville College. Tom Mieczkowski made his returnto the mound after two weeks of rest and picked up where he leftoff, somehow lowering his ERA from 0.46.Heidelberg College, or The Team Formerly Known As the StudentPrinces, probably saw what was coming their way as they sat in thestands during our Maryville game. The next day they took their turnand ran into a buzz saw as Will "Coleslaw" Carr carved them up fornine innings, surrendering only two runs on six hits in the firstcomplete game by an Emory pitcher this year.Finally we finished the week with a Sunday double header againstEagles of Edgewood College of Wisconsin. Hopefully they found theweather enjoyable because the EMORY Eagles remained perfect with asweep. Griffin Baum had four RBIs and fell only a homer short ofthe cycle in game one as the home team piled up 15 runs.We squeaked by with a well-fought, last-inning victory in thesecond game of the twin bill. In typical fashion, when the batsfailed us at times the pitching stayed strong. As it was pointedout, it's not everyday the closer throws more innings than thestarting pitcher, but we were glad to see Meizler out thereshutting down Edgewood for three innings while we scratched out awinning run. And so the streak continues.The road does not get easy, though. Coming up Tuesday is perhapsour toughest test of the season. We hope to return the favor toNAIA North Georgia College, who beat us on their home field lastyear. Will Carr is scheduled for the start.Not to be forgotten in this recap are the efforts of our mostvocal fans from atop the left field wall. Captain Dan Seiden'ssquad has remained in top form with no lapses or major incidentsall year. These guys manage to bring it to the table for everygame.People are starting to take notice of the Emory Eagles, butdon't take my word for it. Emory is featured as the Spotlight Teamof the week on an NCAA website, (seeMarch 16).March 29, 2004I am writing this Sunday night while waiting for ESPN's "DreamJob" to come on television, so in the true spirit of SportsCenter Ioffer you the Emory baseball team's Top Ten Plays of the Week:10. Griffin Baum being a home run away from the cycle in our15-6 route of Edgewood College in which Baum had a bases-loadedtriple.9. Travis Langley's 2 out, 2 strike shot down the line thatscored Zander Sotiriou, pinch runner extraordinaire, to beatEdgewood 6-5 in the second half of the double header.8. Will Carr brushing off North Georgia with 7 innings pitchedand allowing only 1 run while striking out 6 to move to 7-0. Allthis on 3 days rest.7. The OC party that followed our win over North Georgia. Inattendance were Will "I go for the hotties" Carr, Kris "I have afront row seat" Herring, Jason "This is the only time I don't thinkabout The Lake Show" Glushon, Sam "I only act like I don't knowwhat's going on" Cunningham, Lane "I swear Julie Cooper isn't mymom" Cooper, Tom "I'm no better than the rest of them" Mieczkowski,Aaron "I'm the only one who brought a girl" Rosdal, and Andrew "Imight like this show more than Glushon" Pinckney. What a good time.6. Sending DePauw home with a doughnut. 10-0.5. Glushon making it to the final three in a flip game beforebeing blitzkrieged by Brye and Will.4. Robbie Segear banging a home run off the left field foul polein our 10-6 win over the PBA Stalefish.3. REVENGE.2. Josh Barrett breaking the Emory single season stolen baserecord in only our 26th game of the year. Way to go Josh.1. Winning 26 straight games to start the year, a new schoolrecord and hopefully a number one ranking in the next poll.Next week: The Emory Baseball Team's NOT Top Ten. You aren'tgoing to want to be on this list.April 5, 2004Last week was a bit of a "heads up" for the team. It started offgreat for us with the new ACBA polls ranking us at No. 2 in thecountry. But things began to get a little rocky from that point.We slugged out a win against LaGrange which included sevenstraight singles in the fourth inning and 15 total hits in a spanof one and one-third innings. Josh Barrett decided to go 5-for-5 atthe plate and steal four bases. His five hits and four stolen basestied school records. In typical news, Will Carr won AGAIN with alittle help from Steve "I'm the Emory Wheel's favorite" Zaychik andKeith Meizler.Our next game was anything but an April Fool's joke. TheOglethorpe Stormy Petrels plated five runs to our four runs andhanded us our second loss of the year. Despite Brye Adler's fiveinnings allowing only one run, unearned, while striking out six,the Petrels rallied in the ninth to score three runs. While thiswas a gut check for the team, we knew we would bounce back over theweekend.Next was a long bus trip to Maryville, Tenn., that began at 7a.m. Most of you would think that we would all be sleeping andresting for the game, but the OC kept us awake. Jason "Glu-Daddy"Glushon taped the previous week's episode (because we were atLaGrange when it aired) and showed it on the bus ride to Maryville.Although this guy slept through it, the show earned thumbs up fromour coaching staff.Once we arrived at the field, we were ready to lay the wood toMaryville for the fourth time. Steve Zaychik was backed by the Dand we escaped with a 4-2 win that saw Daniel Kaufman earn hisfirst collegiate save.That night Coach T took the team to O'Charley's sportsrestaurant to watch the Georgia Tech vs. Oklahoma State basketballgame. While most of us enjoyed our food, there was a very upsettrainer who didn't get his salad (maybe he should have ordered asteak). After a Tech victory, we headed back to the hotel to watchthe Duke game. UConn made a fantastic run to win the game, but thestory of the night was Chris Duhon's POINTLESS three-pointer astime expired.Sunday came quick and Will Carr was on the mound. This time wedecided to make the game interesting. We fell behind 4-0 beforefinally scoring three runs. Trailing 4-3 in the seventh inning,Griffin Baum took matters into his own hands and smoked a solo homerun over the left field fence to tie the game.The team picked up three more runs including a triple fromAndrew Pinckney. Keith Meizler moved into second place on theschool's all-time list for saves in a season. He passed some guynamed Ethan Solomon; I heard he (Solomon) was overrated. That wincompleted our season sweep of Maryville and got us ready forTuesday against Sewanee.Yours truly took the hill and served up his first collegiatehome run; however the team backed me up and put up 11 runs in mydefense. In all that offense was a pinch-hit three-run homer fromSam Cunningham and solo shots from Josh Barrett and AndrewPinckney. Kris Herring and Brye Adler finished up the game bypitching the eighth and ninth without allowing a hit.That win improved our record to 32-2 as we head into the weekendwith a three-game set against Piedmont. Come to Chappell Park onSaturday at noon to watch a doubleheader on a beautiful day. Theteam would like to wish all the fans and families a Happy Passoverand a Happy Easter. April 12, 2004Sometimes you just don't have it and Friday night was one ofthose times. It happens to all of us at some point, but it seemedlike the 31 guys on the Emory baseball team all lost it at the sametime.It started out slow, but by the end Piedmont had waxed us 15-2.Justin Gordon, Bryan Langbord, and Bo Schill each had two hits, butit wasn't enough. Piedmont swung the bats like the Yankees and wefielded like a 1-15 Little League team.In a night that nothing went right, at least we got to watch agood bit of "My Cousin Vinny" on the bus ride back to Atlanta. Thethought of sweeping a doubleheader on Saturday against the samePiedmont team kept us sane.Saturday came quickly because we didn't get home from Piedmontuntil about midnight. Will Carr was on the mound for the first gameand on top of grabbing another win (10-0) he also took thestrikeout lead from Steve Zaychik (Wear it, Zaych). Zaychik isstill holding on to the argument that he has pitched less inningsthan Will and that's why he has the lead.Griffin Baum had a big day at the plate where he went 2-for-2with two RBIs. Brye Adler finished the game up in quick fashion andbefore we knew it we had evened up with Piedmont.The series' deciding game followed a half hour later when yourstruly took the hill. Although I threw pretty well, our offensecarried the team. We jumped out to a 10-0 lead by the end of thesixth.However, the fireworks came in the first inning when AndrewPinckney hit a home run over the 395-foot sign that one-hopped theSPICE house in center field. What a bomb! Pinck was 2-for-3 withthree runs and two RBIs and Langbord was 3-for-4 with two runs andtwo RBIs. Aaron Rosdal also had two hits and swiped a couple ofbases in our 10-2 victory.It was great to see the team bounce back after taking such abeatdown Friday night. The loss made us upset, but we didn't let itget to us. We came back refreshed Saturday morning and showedPiedmont how the Emory Eagles take care of business on the baseballfield.This week we have a doubleheader against Huntingdon in Alabama andthen we head to Savannah to play SCAD in one more weekend series. Ihope everyone had a great Easter Sunday. I spent mine watching PhilMickelson get nasty on the back nine at Augusta and win his firstmajor championship. What a finish to the Masters! April 19, 2004The Eagles were busy behind the scenes to earn their three winslast week. The hours we logged on the bus might easily havesurpassed the time we spent on the field had we not played three ofthe longest games of the season.Perhaps the Tuesday game against Huntingdon College only seemedto last upwards of three hours because it is still winter inMontgomery, Alabama. Highlights from the win included a pair ofhome runs by Andrew Pinckney (not exactly "Huntingdon-specials,"but he would tell you he should have hit at least four that day)and Taylor Gettinger getting "rip city" in his favorite ballpark.Lowlights?? How about four hours out in the 38 degree weatherwith a steady drizzle coming down and a stiff wind blowing in fromleft. Good thing we had Steve Zaychik, the "Crushin' (Bela)Russian"on the mound. It probably helped that there were more people fromnorth of the Mason-Dixon Line in our dugout than anywhere elsewithin a 100-mile drive. I'd also bet my Sonic Watermelon Slushthat we had the only two Utah Utes in the state of Alabama thatday.Having just returned from our business trip to Savannah, I thinkwe are all breathing a sigh of relief. We got two wins to completethe season sweep of the SCAD Bees, but it could have been a realfiasco. Our hitting, pitching and fielding basically took turnsbailing each other out.Saturday we squeaked out a 10-inning victory with some clutchmiddle relief out of freshman Daniel Kaufman. Sunday, playing atthe home field of the Savannah Sand Gnats (Single A affiliate ofthe Montreal Expos), we gave up our lead several times beforefinally recapturing it for good in the seventh and holding off aninth inning rally with a 6-4-3 DP. Keith Meizler picked up the winin game one and the save in game two.We got the job done last weekend but nothing came easy. Wecouldn't even get off the bus without Coach T having to break uptwo intramural soccer games. I think his line was, "Move your cars,punks, or Splinter will throw you in the laundry bin."We look to maintain our No. 1 ranking in the South Region thisweek with three big home games starting Tuesday with LaGrange. Ourregular season concludes with a weekend series against NC Wesleyan. April 26, 2004If you look at the schedule it would seem that last week was apretty easy one for the Emory baseball Eagles. The schedule showedone game on Tuesday against LaGrange and then a weekend series withNorth Carolina Wesleyan; a nice break from our usual four- orfive-game weeks that wear us out.The one thing we didn't know was that each game was going to bea hard-fought battle. On Tuesday Will "Yes, winning is still all Ido" Carr threw a gem against a strong hitting LaGrange team. Willwas so spectacular on the mound that the coaches let him go allnine.The team gave up four runs and it seemed as if we were going tofall one short until Justin Gordon singled to lead off the ninth.Before you knew it, Adam Schorr hit a line shot up the middle toscore Josh Barrett and give us the 5-4 win. Because of hiscomplete-game win, Will Carr tied the Emory season win record with11.Will also accomplished another special feat this week when heturned 21 years old. That night, many members of the team,including Emory baseball legend Kyle Foster, got together tocelebrate with Will. Even though Thursday night was full offireworks, it was Saturday that really stole the show.Senior Day at Chappell Park was, in a word, memorable. Parentsand fans filled the stands to cheer on the seniors one last time atour beautiful field. N.C. Wesleyan is a team known for theirback-to-back national championships in the 1990s, but we didn't letthat intimidate our game.Inspired by Senior Day festivities and Ryan Lumsden's 20thbirthday, the team was ready to play. Senior Brye Adler made hisfirst start of the season and threw six innings that included fourperfect innings to begin the game. After Brye's perfecto was brokenup, it was senior Lane Cooper's hose from left field to gun arunner down at the plate that really got the crowd going. Lane alsofollowed that up with a single and an RBI.Senior Adam Schorr drove in his 100th career RBI in the midst ofhis three-hit barrage. However, the curtain call came in the bottomof the sixth inning when senior Paul Myslinski dropped a bomb overthe right field wall for his first collegiate home run.In the seventh, senior Steve Zaychik came in and threw threescoreless innings to shut down the game. What an amazing Senior Dayfor our team. Hopefully, the old guys can carry us in thepost-season and put the team in the hunt for a national title.Sunday was a different story. Will Carr got off to a slow startand so did our offense. Although we were down only a couple runs,we came up with big plays that kept us within reach. As the gamewent on, our bats and Will's arm began to wake up. After two N.C.Wesleyan players were ejected for talking back to the umpire thegame belonged to us.Will threw seven strong innings before Danny Kaufman and KeithMeizler threw scoreless innings to earn Keith a save and get Willhis 12th win on the season, a new Emory record. Keith earned hisninth save of the year tying the Emory season record. Congrats arein order for both them as well as the rest of the team for its 40thwin of the season.Last week proved to be a bit more challenging than many of usthought it would be. However, after fighting to win all threegames, it will be even worse to have to fight to pass three finalsthis coming week. The team is about to receive a much-needed breakand our next game will be at North Georgia on Friday, May 7th. Thenit is off to the NCAA regional tournament. May 3, 2004With the exception of those few that study best in the battingcage, all was quiet at Chappell Park last week as the team had timeoff for finals. Soon campus will be empty and the team will betaking the field from morning until evening, but we wouldn't askfor anything else. The post season begins in just two weeks, andsince we've been working since last September to get here we may aswell go all the way.As the likely No. 1 seed in the South Regional we have the honorand burden of being the team that everyone is shooting for. TheSouth region is typically one of the nation's strongest, and as wesaw last year, it's anyone's ballgame. Hopefully the national No. 2Eagles of 2004 can turn up their game just as the "unranked" Eaglesof 2003 did on the road to Appleton, WI, site of the DIII CollegeWorld Series.Though it should not affect the postseason prospects of eitherteam, the final game of the regular season is coming up on Friday,May 7 at North Georgia College and State University. If you ask theplayers, eager to get back on the field after so many days with thebooks, Friday Night Under the Lights will be more than a tune-upgame.Other than that road game we will be taking our hacks off ofeach other. If you're in the neighborhood and the sun is up, it's asafe bet that you can see some baseball at Chappell Park. Blue vs.Gold. May 10, 2004After a week-long hiatus, the Emory baseball Eagles were back inbusiness. Coach T stuck to his game plan of light practices whilegradually increasing the intensity.After three days of practice it was time to travel to Dahlonega,Ga to play North Georgia College, a very good NAIA team. We took abeating from the Saints, eventually being '10 runned.'Although we were upset with the loss, the point of playing NorthGeorgia was to shake off the rust that had built up during ourtwo-week layoff from games. The loss put a couple things inperspective for the team.First, we realize we have a long way to go before we are readyfor regionals, but we know that the coming two weeks will prepareus for Martinsville, Va., and Appleton, Wis. Second, it made usrealize that we are a beatable team with weaknesses that teams arecapable of exploiting. Still, we are confident we will be peakingwhen May 20th rolls around.Because of a long intrasquad on Saturday, Coach T gave the teamSunday off, but even the graduating seniors will be on the fieldMonday at 3 pm ready to practice. In a week that is sure to be fullof turkey, ham, and PB & J sandwiches, it is exciting to thinkthat in two weeks we begin our journey for a national championship. May 17, 2004The invitations are out and the tickets are punched for the 2004NCAA Division III Regionals. As expected, Emory tops the SouthRegionals as the No. 1 seed and will face York College (PA) in thefirst round on Thursday.This will be our third matchup with York this season, havingbeaten them twice in the early season Rawlings Tournament. WillCarr, yes Will Carr as seen in Sports Illustrated's most recent"Faces In the Crowd," will likely get the ball for game one. Lastyear, we saw how important it was to win that opening game.Emory is one of four teams returning to the post-season fromlast year's World Series. The other returning teams includechampion Chapman University (CA), Eastern Connecticut StateUniversity, and DeSales University (PA). Notably absent this yearare University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh, Trinity University (CT),Anderson University (IN), and 2003 runner-up Christopher Newport(VA).I think the whole team is relieved to finally get on the road toplay some baseball. It's been three weeks since the school yearended and campus was deserted. Some of the card players were soburnt out that they had to turn to the high school movie-goingscene for diversion (Kris Herring gives Mean Girls "twoenthusiastic thumbs up.").The Emory M.A.S.H. unit, growing in numbers everyday, welcomesthe return of founder Ryan Lumsden and Rookie of the Year RichBabb, each returning from a week at home. But all you need is nine. May 24, 2004We've all heard the story about Moses parting the Red Sea, soone would think that a regional championship would be a piece ofcake for him. Yet, it didn't happen.Our lucky Moses action figure that was placed in the dugout foreach regional game failed to give us that extra power we needed toget past our competition. Even Bryan Langbord's "Rod of God"couldn't deliver enough hits to carry our offense to a couple morewins.Although we left the tournament earlier then we anticipated itwas still a great experience. The nightly runs to the gas stationfor the essentials with Will and Zaychik were always an experience.The countless games of "Monopoly" between teammates and coacheswere always heated and competitive.Only the Emory baseball team would bring two sets of "Monopoly"to a four-day tournament. Jon Levy came to announce each game onTEAMLINE, even though probably no one was listening because all theparents were at the games watching.And of course the parents had their fun. While the players werein their rooms hydrating for the game the next day, the parentswere doing their own hydrating.Our team set the regional record for most bottles of Pedialyteconsumed with 39; 26 by Adam Schorr, alone. Although we fell shortof our goal, the tournament was still a lot of fun and a positiveexperience.It will be impossible to forget this season. There are so manymemories from this season that it is difficult to wrap my headaround it all. I still can't believe it. I thought the only waythis season would end would be a national championship, but whenall was said and done we came up just a little short.It hurts to sit here and write this diary because of what Icould be doing. I could be watching Josh Barrett hose another kidat the plate or I could be watching Rob Segear grab a ball in thehole and do his best Derek Jeter impersonation, even with a hurtankle.It all happened so fast. One day we are in the driver's seat ofthe regional tournament and the next night we are packing forAtlanta, while two other teams are playing for a regionalchampionship. Watching other teams play for the national title justmakes me hungrier and more determined. I can't wait for nextseason.
