VIRGINIA UNION DOUBLES UP BOWIE STATE 8-7 AND 14-6

RICHMOND, Va. - It was an early start for the Lady Bulldogs and the team played tough, but came up a little short at Virginia Union by scores of 8-7 in nine innings and 14-6.

Virginia Union responded with five in their share of the first as all nine batters getting a crack at BSU sophomore pitcher Hayley Flint (Mesa, Ariz.).

Bowie State tied the game at 5-5 in the top of the second only to see Virginia Union push one across in the bottom of the third to retake the lead at 6-5.

The Lady Bulldogs used a three-hit, two-run fourth to shift the advantage back over to the guests at 7-6.

After a scoreless fifth inning, Bowie State’s Washington singled to center field in the top of the sixth, but was left stranded on the bag.

With the Lady Panthers trailing 7-6 Virginia Union's Shakia Mackey doubled to score Kierris Doyle to tie the game. Doyle reached via a BSU fielding error to begin the seventh.

In the bottom of the ninth inning, VUU's Tyana Daniels doubled, then Doyle followed with another double to score the extra inning winning run.

Virginia Union's Danielle McEachern picked up the complete-game win in the opener.

In the second game, Daniels had four hits, including a double while McEachern and Sharmanda Fambro drove in two runs apiece as Virginia Union claimed a six-inning affair 14-6.

Bowie State recorded four hits in the final game of the twinbill, with Clayborne, McNair, Alexander and junior Mariela Hernandez (Del Rio, Texas) responsible for one each.

BOWIE STATE, ELIZABETH CITY STATE STAY UNBEATEN IN WINNER'S BRACKET OF CIAA BOWLING CHAMPIONSHIPS

DURHAM, N.C. – Bowie State University and Elizabeth City State University both advanced to the winner’s bracket of the championship round at the CIAA Women’s Bowling Championships held at AMF Durham Lanes on Sunday, March 24, 2013.

Both teams remained unbeaten after winning two matches in double-elimination bracket play. Bowie State defeated Winston-Salem State 4-0 and Saint Augustine’s 4-3 while Elizabeth City State beat Virginia State 4-3 and Fayetteville State 4-1.

Both teams face each other in the winner’s bracket on Monday in the third round. The winner will advance to the finals and will need only one victory to claim the league title. The loser will head to the elimination bracket.

Bowie State and Elizabeth City State are two of six teams left in the tournament. The others are Fayetteville State, Saint Augustine’s, Winston-Salem State and Virginia State. Both Shaw and Virginia Union were eliminated after each team lost two matches in bracket play.

The other third round matches on Monday are Fayetteville State versus Virginia State and Saint Augustine’s versus Winston-Salem State in the elimination bracket. The third round gets underway at 9:35 a.m. on the final day of the tournament at AMF Durham Lanes. The quarterfinals, semifinals and finals will be held on that day to determine the conference champion. Watch the final day of the tournament on www.livestream.com/ciaa.

Saint Augustine’s entered bracket play on Sunday afternoon as the top seed after recording the highest pin count total from Saturday’s team matches and Sunday’s Baker matches. It was the highest seeding ever for the Lady Falcons in the history of their women’s bowling program.

Saint Augustine’s defeated eighth-seeded Shaw 4-2 in the first round of bracket play before losing to Bowie State in a seven-game thriller. Bowie State won the first three games but Saint Augustine’s rallied to tie the match at 3-3. Bowie State prevailed in the seventh and deciding game 182-177 to stay in the winner’s bracket.

Fayetteville State, the two-time defending CIAA champion, entered bracket play as the No. 2 seed. It beat No. 7 seed Virginia Union 4-1 before losing to Elizabeth City State in the second round. Fourth-seed Virginia State was knocked into the elimination bracket with a 4-3 loss to ECSU but rebounded to defeat Virginia Union 4-1 to stay alive. Winston-Salem State also survived after topping Shaw 4-1 in the elimination bracket after losing 4-0 to Bowie State in the first round.

Earlier in the day, Saint Augustine’s captured the No. 1 seed by rolling a 781 score against Winston-Salem State University in the last Baker's match in the seeding round to overtake Fayetteville State by one pin (7,691-7,690). Fayetteville State entered the day in the lead for the top seed after Saturday’s team matches, which they maintained until the fifth and final Baker’s match on Sunday. Fayetteville State bowled a 673 score in its final Baker’s match which opened the door for Saint Augustine’s.

Saint Augustine’s narrowly edged Fayetteville State for seeding in the tournament, after the Lady Broncos won the Southern Division title over the Lady Falcons by one match during the regular season.
Northern Division champion Bowie State gained the No. 3 seed with 7,568 total pins and Virginia State University earned the fourth seed with 7,432 pins. Elizabeth City State University captured the fifth seed with 7,385 pins and Winston-Salem State claimed the sixth seed with 7,193 pins. Virginia Union finished as the No. 7 seed with 6,825 pins followed by Shaw as the eighth seed with 6,418 pins.

The Lady Vikings gave a preview of what was to come in bracket play by bowling their best game in Sunday’s Baker’s matches to determine seeding. They almost recorded a perfect game, rolling a strike in all but one frame to score 227 points in game four of a 763-666 win over Shaw.

Masteron + TRT‏

Masteron as an Addition to Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT)?

Ask Bill Roberts - Q: I am 42-years old and currently on 100-milligrams of testosterone enanthate per week as part of a testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) prescribed by my doctor. I plan on remaining on TRT indefinitely. But I’d like to have a little boost. I am currently 220-lbs but my goal is to return my physique to my younger days when I was a lean 245-lbs. Would adding Masteron help?

Sciroxx – Long-Arm of Steroid Law Enforcement Takes Interest

Two men involved in the domestic distribution of Sciroxx-brand anabolic steroids have pleaded guilty to importing bulk quantities of steroids and ancillary drugs, repackaging them in retail-size units with the Sciroxx label and shipping them to customers in the United States. But the big news is that the U.S. government has been asking their counterparts in Israel questions about Sciroxx. Is the long arm of law enforcement on the move?

Masteron vs Equipoise – Which is Better to Gain Muscle?

 Is Masteron or Equipoise the better steroid to gain muscle? The answer depends on how it’s being looked at. Are you comparing it by effectiveness milligram per milligram? Or based on the cost of each compound? Or based on the side effect profile of each steroid? Will it be used alone or included in a stack with other steroids?

Drug Free Sport New Zealand Blames Bodybuilders for Steroids in Sports

The use of anabolic steroids in competitive sports has been blamed on many things including the win-at-all-costs culture and the increasing commercialization of sports. But Drug Free Sport New Zealand believes the real culprits responsible for the rampant use of steroids in sports are bodybuilders! The NZ anti-doping chief claims bodybuilders are selling steroids to athletes who work out at the same commercial gyms.

Police Make Mistake: Anabolic Steroids Not Really Found at Oscar Pistorius Home

Last week, we heard the news media speculate about "roid rage" causing Oscar Pistorius to kill his girlfriend. But it turns out police didn't even find steroids. They appear to have made an embarrassing mistake. Anabolic steroids were not really found. It appears to be an innocuous product called Testis compositum consisting of animal testicle extracts of homeopathic ingredients. Nonetheless, sports writers still so desperately want to believe steroids caused it!

Virginia State Takes Two Over Bowie State by Scores of 9-1 and 11-6

PETERSBURG, Va. - Junior Aiyana McNair (Baltimore, Md.) recorded a personal series-high four hits, but Virginia State swept the series by scores of 9-1 and 11-6 over Bowie State. Freshman Erica Atkins (Burtonsville, Md.) and sophomore Cassandra Clayborne (Damascus, Md.) added three hits each in the CIAA Northern Division setback.

Bowie State junior pitcher Mariela Hernandez (Del Rio, Texas) faced 32 batters in game one, giving up 11 hits but striking out five in the loss. As a team, the Lady Bulldogs mustered only two hits over six innings.

The Lady Bulldogs trailed 4-0 through five innings of the opening game before getting their first hit and only run in the top of the sixth. BSU’s lone hit came off the bat of sophomore Alexis Barnes (District Heights, Md.) who scored later in the inning after a single to left by McNair.

Virginia State (7-11, 7-1 CIAA, 2-0 North) ended the game early via the 8-run mercy rule, in the bottom of the sixth, pushing five runs across the dish.

The Lady Trojans held a 3-0 first inning advantage in game two and led 4-0 through three innings of play.

BSU’s Lady Bulldogs came alive in the top of the fourth, plating five to take a 5-4 lead. Atkins hit a leadoff triple to jump start the visitor’s offense. With two outs, Clayborne and McNair hit back-to-back singles to load the bases. Barnes scored on a wild pitch and sophomore Kiara Washington (Bowie, Md.) reached on a base on balls. Senior Megan Alexander (Damascus, Md.) followed with a 3-RBI triple.

Virginia State’s Sade Holmes began the Lady Trojans’ share of the fourth with a double and was brought home with a hard single back to the pitcher off the bat of Scherrie Smith to knot the game at five.

The Lady Trojans used a four-hit, two run fifth inning to take the lead for good at 7-5 and added four more runs in the bottom of the sixth to extend the VSU lead to 11-5.

Bowie State’s Atkins scored the final Lady Bulldogs run in the seventh thanks to a double to left field by junior Kyerra Martin.   

Atkins, McNair and Clayborne paced Bowie State with three hits each in game two and Washington contributed a pair of hits.

The BSU Lady Bulldogs (4-18, 2-8 CIAA, 0-2 North) are scheduled to play at Virginia Union on Sunday (3/24) morning at 9:30 am, weather permitting.
