Ill. in ’02, 11 vs. Villanova in ’03) and 5th to do so in the 9-year Mainieri era (the others are Brad Lidge, Tim Kalita, Aaron Heilman and Danny Tamayo) … also owns five 9-K games in his ND career (four in ’03) … combines with John Axford (12 vs. WMU) as 10th pair of ND teammates with 10-plus Ks in same season. • Fourth ND player ever to receive multiple BIG EAST pitcher-of-the-week honors in same season, joining Aaron Heilman (3 in '99, 4 in '00, 2 in '01), Scott Cavey (2 in '00) and Danny Tamayo (3 in '01). • His 13-1 career record with the Irish could include upwards of nine more wins (due to lack of run support or lost leads by the bullpen), with his ’02 season also interrupted by mononucleosis and the hand injury holding him out of the ’03 BIG EAST Tournament. • Had dominating 2002 postseason with 2.05 ERA in five outings (four starts), plus 22 Ks, 7 BB and 23 hits allowed in 26.1 IP (he won the 3-1 clincher at top-ranked Florida State in the Super-Regional and had a strong CWS start vs. Rice). NOTRE DAME OPENS NCAAS WITH STRONG ALL-AROUND EFFORT IN 13-5 WIN OVER ARIZONA The Notre Dame baseball team – despite starting five position players who never had played in an NCAA Tournament game – opened the NCAA postseason on Friday in similar fashion to its BIG EAST Tournament opening win last week vs. West Virginia, as the Irish matched their 17-hit assault from the WVU game while again receiving a strong start from a senior RHP (Ryan Kalita) and playing one of the team’s best all-around defensive games of the year. It all added up to a 13-5 win for the third-seeded Irish over No. 2 seed Arizona, sending Notre Dame on to a matchup with regional host Cal State Fullerton (the No. 7 national seed) in Saturday’s pivotal winner’s bracket game. Notre Dame remained unbeaten in six NCAA Regional openers during the nine-year Paul Mainieri era while the Irish now have yet to go 0-2 in 17 total postseason tournaments during nine years of play under Mainieri (who now is just two wins shy of his 400th with the Irish).

  • Wave of Stabbings Shake Israel and the West Bank
    SUBSCRIPTION SATURDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2015 THULHIJJA 26, 1436 AH No: 16663 Tunisian Violent Blatter fights democracy Muslims told ban amid group wins to leave FIFA Peace Prize7 Australia12 turmoil47 Wave of stabbings shake Israel and the West Bank Min 26º 150 Fils Revenge attack injures two Palestinians, two Arab Israelis Max 38º JERUSALEM: A fresh wave of stabbings shook Israel and the West Bank yesterday, including a suspected revenge attack by a Jewish suspect that wounded two Palestinians and two Arab Israelis. Attacks also continued against Israelis and Jews, with a Palestinian stabbing a policeman near a West Bank settlement before being shot dead by the victim, who was lightly wounded. A Jewish 16-year-old was lightly wounded in a new stabbing in Jerusalem by an 18-year-old Palestinian suspect, who was arrested. In the assault by a Jew, the assailant aged about 20 was arrested and told police he carried out the attack in the southern Israeli city of Dimona because “all Arabs are terrorists”. The victims suffered light to moderate wounds. It marked the first such attack against Palestinians after at least 11 stabbings that have targeted Israelis or Jews since Saturday, killing two of them. Later, a woman was shot after a stabbing attempt in northern Israel. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu quickly condemned the stab- bings by the Jewish suspect, a sign of concerns it could trigger further violence. Palestinians have also rioted in annexed east Jerusalem and the West Bank in recent days, with the unrest raising fears of a wider uprising or even a third intifada.

  • A's News Clips, Wednesday, July 28, 2010 Nelson Cruz Homer In
    A’s News Clips, Wednesday, July 28, 2010 Nelson Cruz homer in 10th dooms Oakland A's By Joe Stiglich, Oakland Tribune The presence of Texas Rangers left-hander Cliff Lee on the mound Tuesday night didn't bode well for the A's. The absence of closer Andrew Bailey from Oakland's bullpen didn't help either. Both circumstances factored heavily as the A's lost the opener of a pivotal three-game series 3-1 when Texas' Nelson Cruz hit a walk-off two-run homer off reliever Michael Wuertz in the bottom of the 10th. Wuertz struck out cleanup hitter Vladimir Guerrero to lead off the inning but walked Josh Hamilton. Cruz, a former A's prospect traded to Milwaukee before the 2005 season, then hit a towering shot to left field on a 1-1 slider. When the ball finally found its landing spot in the seats, the first-place Rangers dropped the A's to 8½ games back in the American League West. "It didn't slide too much," Wuertz said of the home run pitch. "It just hung. I wasn't going to let Hamilton beat me in that situation. I tried to get a ground ball (against Cruz) and left a pitch over the plate." Had Bailey been available, it's conceivable he would have been on the mound in the 10th facing the teeth of the Rangers lineup. But the two-time All-Star was unavailable for a fifth straight game with back spasms. Bailey threw off flat ground before the game, but manager Bob Geren said he was unavailable.
