Big Train College Round-Up 3/1
| ||
Tucker Tobin (BT '11-'13) of George Mason was named CollegeBaseballInsider.com Louisville Slugger Northeast Region Player of the Week and CAA Player of the Week last week after he had a few of incredible games last weekend against Iona. On Friday night, he went 4/4 with a walk, two stolen bases, and four runs scored. During a double-header on Sunday, he went a combined 6/9 with a walk, three runs scored, and seven runs batted in coming off two home runs and a double. On Wednesday, Tobin and his George Mason Patriots came into Shirley Povich Field to take on the Georgetown Hoyas. That game featured two other former Big Train players in Josh Leemhuis (BT '11) and Brandon Gum (BT '12) that play for the Patriots as well. The Big Train powered George Mason to a 4-1 win as Leemhuis had an RBI single while Tobin drove in three runs and came up a triple short of the cycle. "Hopefully I'll hit some more (homers) here next summer," Tobin said after the win. "It's always fun to play at Povich." Another player who had a strong weekend was Hunter Renfroe (BT '11-'12/ Mississippi St.). Over three games, Renfroe composed a stat line of 5/10, 2HBP, 3R, 6RBI, 2HR, 3B, but one of the two pitches he was hit by caused a very small fracture in his throwing hand and has caused him to miss the last few games. The injury isn't supposed to be a serious one and Renfroe is expected back soon. That said, the Bethesda Big Train wishes him a speedy recovery. Other Notable Pitching Performances: Michael Frank (BT '11 / Bowling Green St.) - 7IP, ER, 2H, 6K... Michael Boyle (BT '13 / Radford) - 5.2IP, W, ER, 5H, 2BB, 6K...

The secret to curing cancer: You've been throwing it in the trash!

The secret to curing cancer:
You've been throwing it in the trash!
You've been throwing it in the trash!
In 1921, a British doctor discovered that a remote tribal people was almost totally cancer-free. But when members of this tribe move away from their native land and change their diet, they get cancer just like anyone else.
It's all thanks to a food most of us throw away as waste!
Click here now and watch a new video presentation about this cancer breakthrough.
One cancer expert calls this overlooked food "the key to curing AND preventing cancer"—and you can benefit NOW -- without going to a doctor or buying expensive supplements.
This little throwaway food tastes great. Bill Clinton (of all people) eats it regularly, and so can you.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Both Bowie State and Winston-Salem State shot the lights out from three-point distance, but the Bulldogs were better from the free-throw line which is why they advanced to the CIAA Tournament men’s basketball finals on Friday.
The Bulldogs topped the nationally-ranked Rams 83-66 in the men’s semifinals at Time Warner Cable Arena for their first championship appearance since 2003 when they took the crown. They will meet Livingstone for the title at 8:30 pm.
“Tonight’s game was just a war. We knew it was going to be that way. Those guys were a very physical basketball team, a great rebounding team, maybe the best rebounding basketball team in the conference” said Bowie State head coach Darrell Brooks. “I thought my guys played very, very tough. I thought we played very together. We went down 10, they never flinched and I’m just very proud and happy for our guys just to get to tomorrow’s game.”
The Bulldogs, seeded fourth in the Northern Division, stunned the Rams by making 24 of 29 free throw attempts for 83 percent. They drilled 10 of 12 free throws in the final 3:26 to pull off the upset over the Rams, the No. 2 seed in the Southern Division. The Rams are 10th in the NABC Division II poll.
By contrast, the Rams were cold from the charity stripe which prevented them from making a comeback. They were 8 of 19 in the second half after making 9 of 15 in the first 20 minutes. For the game, the Rams were 17 of 34 for 50 percent.
Senior Bryon Westmorland paced the Bulldogs with 27 points and fellow senior Dameatric Scott added 21 points, including an emphatic two-handed dunk in the latter stages to put an exclamation point on the win. It made the score 81-66 with 51 seconds left.
When asked about playing Livingstone in the championship, Brooks said, “I’m really anxious for it. I think those guys are playing as well as anybody in the country in NCAA Division II. They’re long, their athletic, they’ve got two terrific guards, and they’re very well coached. We are just ready for the challenge and we’re looking forward to it.”
Senior Bryan Wilson scored 10 points and senior Branden Doughty added 11 points and 10 rebounds for the Bulldogs, who outrebounded the Rams 52-48. Westmoreland added nine rebounds and Scott had seven rebounds as the Bulldogs (15-14 overall) made life hard for the Rams in the paint. Points didn’t come easy inside for the Rams, who shot 21 percent in the second half. The Bulldogs also outscored the Rams 24-12 in the paint and 15-4 in points off turnovers.
By making their free throws, the Bulldogs were able to control the second half. They outscored the Rams 46-28 to ultimately break open a tight game. Westmoreland was 7 of 8 and Doughty was 5 of 6 from the free throw line to lead the Bulldogs.
Justin Glover did everything he could to keep the Rams (21-6 overall) in the contest. He scored 17 of his game-high 29 points in the second half including 4 of 8 from three-point range. But no other Ram scored in double figures. Wakefield Ellison added nine points and Marcus Wells added eight points.
Trailing 38-37, the Bulldogs started the second half on a 23-9 run. Wilson capped the run with a three-pointer for a 60-47 Bulldogs lead with 10:43 left. Glover drained a three to pull the Rams within seven at 71-64 with 3:13 left, but the Bulldogs relied on free throws to put the game out of reach.
Both teams put on a three-point shooting show in the first half. The Bulldogs were 6 of 11 behind the arc for 55 percent and the Rams were 7 of 13 for 54 percent. Both teams cooled off from the perimeter in the second half but the Bulldogs still made 9 of 18 threes for 50 percent. The Rams were 11 of 29 for 37.9 percent for the game but made 4 of 16 three pointers in the second half.
For the game, Westmoreland was 4 of 10 and Scott was 4 of 6 behind the three-point line. Glover made 6 of 11 three-pointers to lead the Rams.
The Rams relied on their three-point accuracy to open an early lead. They hit seven three-pointers capped Tyre Desmore’s trey for a 31-20 lead in the first half before the Bulldogs made their move.
Scott drained a three and scored on a follow shot to pull the Bulldogs within 31-27. A three-point play by Wilson put the Bulldogs right back in the game at 34-32, and they took the lead 35-34 on Westmorland’s three-pointer from the wing. Westmoreland added two more free throws for a 37-34 Bulldogs’ lead. The Rams responded with four straight points to regain the lead at halftime 38-37.
Both Westmorland and Scott led the Bulldogs with 11 first-half points. Glover scored 12 points to lead the Rams.

How a Nobel Prize Winner’s Discovery Led To a Breakthrough In Eye Health
Studies show it does what lutein,
zeaxanthin and beta carotene cannot do.
If you suffer from vision problems, here’s amazing news.
Thanks to a Nobel Prize winner’s observation, scientists have discovered a new vision-enhancing nutrient that lets you see clearer and focus more easily. In fact, latest research shows it’s at least 11 times more effective at trapping free radicals than beta carotene, vitamin E and vitamin C. It’s even more potent than lutein and zeaxanthin.
In 37 years of practicing medicine, I’ve never seen anything like this for protecting and nourishing your eyes.
In this compelling video, I’ll reveal the proven science behind this amazing nutrient and give you the full story on how to:
- Unleash a surge of energy in your eyes (and say goodbye to eye strain)
- Soothe burning eyes caused by sitting in front of the computer
- Sharpen vision so you can read fine print on a prescription label
- Rediscover your confidence when driving at night
- Win back your independence and freedom
If you delay in watching this, you might forget or the video might be taken down and you'll have missed out. But spend a few minutes watching this now and you can see for yourself the difference improved vision can make in your life.
