BT Splits With DC; Support BT in Gaithersburg TONIGHT: Renfroe Signs

Big Train Split With Grays,
Embark on Four-Game Road Trip 
 
The Big Train returned home on Tuesday to play host to the DC Grays in a doubleheader at Povich Field.

Box Score | VIDEO: Post Game Interviews (Colangelo, Del Grande, York)

Luis Collazo (Virginia Tech) got the start for the Big Train in Game 1 of Tuesday's action, and pitched a (seven-inning) complete game, giving up three runs on six hits, a walk, and a hit batter while striking out five. However,Ty France (San Diego State) hit an RBI single in the first inning wouldn't be enough offense, as the Big Train mustered just three hits and dropped the first game 3-1.

In the second game, the Big Train bounced back. David Del Grande(Sacramento State) helped the cause immediately, hitting a lead-off home run in the bottom of the first inning to give the Big Train a 1-0 lead before a single out had been recorded.

In the second inning, Josh Spano (High Point) drew a lead-off walk, and after being advanced to third base, scored on an RBI single by Harrison Bruce(San Francisco) to give the Big Train the early 2-0 lead.

Michael Boyle (Radford) started the second game for Bethesda, and, like Collazo, pitched a complete game. Boyle pitched a seven-inning shutout on just three hits and two walks while striking out seven. Receiving some support from the offense, Boyle was able to pickup the win to help the Big Train split the two-game set.

The Big Train hit the road again on Wednesday, as they play their first game of a four-game road trip against the Gaithersburg Giants at Criswell Automotive Field at Kelley Park.

Bethesda will then play a doubleheader against the Vienna Riverdogs on Thursday before finishing the trip with a game in Alexandria against the Aceson Friday.

The Big Train will return to Povich Field on Saturday night to take on the Silver Spring-Takoma Thunderbolts.  It's Superhero Night, so come hang out with Spiderman, clang fists with Iron Man, or meet the Dark Knight himself. Also, we will be offering dollar hot dogs and all fans in attendance will get a season souvenir program! Players from the Rockville Victors professional basketball team will be in attendance signing autographs. With just nine regular-season home games remaining before the playoffs, don't miss your chance to see the team before it's too late!

The gates open at 6:00 and the first pitch is scheduled for 7:30. Tickets can be purchased here or at the gate.

Hunter Renfroe Signs With Padres
Hunter Renfroe (BT '11-'12 / Mississippi State) signed his contract to with the San Diego Padres on Tuesday, inking a deal worth $2,678,000 for the #13 overall draft pick on this year's MLB Draft. | VIDEO: Hunter Interviewed
Renfroe was in San Diego at Petco Park yesterday to give interviews and take some batting practice at the stadium that he hopes to play in someday soon.

Renfroe is coming off a great season at Mississippi State as he led the Bulldogs to the Championship Series of the College World Series where they were ultimately defeated by UCLA. Renfroe was named an All-American and was taken 13th by the Padres in the First Year Player Draft.

He will start his professional career with the Eugene Emeralds of the Northwest League (Short Season A) in Oregon. Joining him on that team is his Big Train teammate of two years, Michael Bass (BT '11-'12 / UNC-Wilmington). Bass was also drafted by the Padres this year.

Renfroe and Bass were both members of the 2011 National Championship Bethesda Big Train. Renfroe is one of only two former players with his jersey number retired by the team and was both the highest pick ever of a former Big Train player and the the highest pick ever to have played in the CRCBL the previous summer.

Did a Leading Cancer Doctor Really Admit This?

Cancer Defeated Publications
If you asked oncologists what they really think of cancer treatments, you’d be shocked.
According to one report, when a leading doctor at the Sloan‐Kettering Cancer Center found out that he had advanced‐stage cancer, he told his colleagues, “Do anything you want—but no chemotherapy!”
And he’s not alone. Another official reportedly refused to allow his mother to undergo “state‐of‐the‐art” therapy at his own hospital. What did he do? He sent her to Germany for “alternative” care.
But it’s not surprising when you consider the side effects of traditional treatment...hair loss, nausea, fatigue, cancer even!
So then why wouldn’t you hear more about a natural treatment? One that not only destroys cancer cells but leaves healthy ones untouched?
A study on people who received this treatment for cancer and other ailments noted that “the results have been spectacular; the only side effect is ‘chronic good health.’” 
You read that correctly. Chronic good health was the only side effect. That’s a far cry from any of the conventional methods you’ll hear about.
Go HERE to find out all the details including how the mainstream almost killed one of the greatest cancer discoveries in history. Prepare to be outraged.

Big Train Bats Come Up Giant Against Giants

Big Train Bats Come Up Giant Against Giants    
 
The Big Train traveled to Gaithersburg for the first time on Monday evening to face the new Montgomery County rival Giants at Criswell Automotive Field at Kelley Park. Box Score

Zach Morris (Maryland) got the start for Bethesda, and gave the team five solid innings. Morris gave up just two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out four.

The Big Train offense got the scoring started in the fourth inning. After getting hit by a pitch to lead off the inning, Ty France (San Diego State) stole second base to get into scoring position. Ricky Santiago (Florida Atlantic) hit an RBI single to center field that scored France to give the Big Train a 1-0 lead.

After the Giants scored two off Morris in the bottom half of the inning, the Big Train responded in a big way in the top of the fifth.

In the top of the fifth, Ryne Willard (Tallahassee CC) - pictured above - singled, Johnny Cole (Coastal Carolina) reached on an error, and David Del Grande (Sacramento State) was hit by a pitch to start the inning.

Two runs scored as Kyle Wernicki (Virginia Tech) was hit by a pitch and France walked. That made it 3-2 Big Train with the bases still loaded and no outs. Santiago kept the scoring going by hitting a two-run single to left field.Tucker Tobin (George Mason) and Willard each hit RBI singles as well to push the score to 7-2.

In the sixth, the Big Train added an insurance run, as Del Grande scored on an error to extend the lead to 8-2.

Kit Scheetz (Virginia Tech) came in to relieve Morris in the sixth inning, and pitched three innings. He gave up just one hit and struck out two. Justin Hepner (San Diego State) closed out the game in the ninth to give Big Train the 8-2 win.

The win secured the Montgomery Cup for the Big Train as they've secured an 8-0 record against the other teams in the county.

The Big Train return home to Povich Field for a doubleheader against the D.C. Grays on Tuesday. The games are scheduled to start at 5:00 PM and 7:30 PM, respectively, so come on out and get a two-for-Tuesday double dose of baseball!

Selling Tickets Since 1978

Big Train Bats Prove Better, Down Orioles 9-8 in 10   
The Big Train traveled to Glen Burnie on Saturday to play the Youse's Orioles in the first game of a three-game road trip. Box Score

Danny Mooney (Davidson) got the start for the Big Train, and gave up just two runs over five innings. Despite Mooney's strong performance, he'd ultimately receive a no-decision.

The Big Train offense got going early, scoring multiple runs in the top of the first inning. After singles by David Del Grande (Sacramento State) and Ty France (San Diego State), a sacrifice fly by Ricky Santiago (Florida Atlantic) would give the Big Train the first run of the game. After a single by Mike Miedzianowski (High Point), a two-run double by Ryne Willard (Tallahassee CC) extended the lead to 3-0 heading into the bottom of the first.

In the top of the second, the Big Train tacked on two more runs, as a one-out RBI single from Santiago scored Del Grande and Kevin Tatum (Cornell).

The Orioles would get their runs off Mooney in the second and fifth innings to make the score 5-2.

In the bottom of the seventh, the Orioles staged a comeback, getting to the Big Train bullpen for three runs and tying the game at five.

The Big Train got those runs back in the top of the ninth, as RBIs by Kyle Wernicki (Virginia Tech), Parker Guinn (Washington) and Del Grande put the team up 8-5.

However, the Orioles once against mounted a comeback in the bottom of the ninth, getting to the Big Train bullpen for three more runs.

In the top of the tenth, Tim Yandel (Tulane) - pictured above - played hero for the Big Train, with a big one-out RBI double that scored Logan Farrar(Virginia Commonwealth) and gave Bethesda the 9-8 lead.

Brock Larson (San Francisco) then pitched a scoreless bottom half of the inning, clinching the 9-8 victory for the Big Train.

After 20 games, the Big Train now sit with a league-best 16-4 record, boasting an incredible .800 winning percentage. They take on the Vienna Riverdogs on Sunday afternoon before traveling to Gaithersburg on Monday to take on the third-place Giants at Criswell Automotive Field at Kelley Park.

After the road trip is over, the Big Train return home to Povich Field for a doubleheader against the D.C. Grays on Tuesday. The games are scheduled to start at 5:00 PM and 7:30 PM, respectively, so come on out and get a two-for-Tuesday double dose of baseball!

TEAM USA GOLD MEDAL RECAP

Cancer Defeated Publications

TEAM USA WINS GOLD, Defeats Canada in IFAF World Championship  
Vantaa, Finland. The US Women's tackle football team has won gold again, with a stunning
display of gridiron dominance that left all viewers and participants in a state of shock and awe.
The US women's team took the tournament by storm with record-setting defeats of Sweden (84-0) and
Germany (107-7) in pool play, followed by a 64-0 thrashing of Canada in the gold medal game.
The U.S. wasted no time against Canada, with Mia Brickhouse scoring on a 3 yard rush on the initial
possession. The scoring was fast and furious throughout, with six US players reaching the end zone.
Odessa Jenkins, Donna Wilkinson, Jeanette Gray, Adrienne Smith and Liz Sowers each scored a touchdown.
Running back Mia Brickhouse had four touchdowns, all on short yardage power sets. The U.S. team averaged
almost 9 yards a carry and were clearly winning the battle at the line of scrimmage. Offensive linewoman
Jamie Menzyk was named the game day MVP for opening running lanes with an assortment of pancake blocks. 
The US defense held the Canadians to just 56 yards of total offense, and in fact only allowed an average
of 44 yards per game throughout the tournament. In addition, the U.S. defense created 13 turnovers for the
tournament, three of which were returned for touchdowns. Leading tacklers in the gold medal game were
Vicky Eddy, Jennifer Plummer, Danielle Golay, Katie Sowers and Kim Marks.
American quarterbacks Sami Grisafe and Karen Mulligan combined for 23 completions in 28 attempts and
367 passing yards. There were three touchdown passes, all thrown by Grisafe who was named the overall
tournament MVP for her outstanding play throughout. Her three-game tournament total was 626 passing
yards, nine touchdown passes and a rushing touchdown.

Head Coach John Konecki has now led the U.S. team to two successive gold medals. "These women are amongst
the best players in the world at their respective positions. It has been a privilege for me to coach
athletes of this caliber. I couldn't be more proud of my team than I am right now," said Konecki, his
voice cracking with emotion just moments after the win.
Football America - 15% off Storewide
This is the second International Federation of American Football (IFAF) Women's World Championship,
with the U.S. also claiming gold in the 2010 inaugural event held in Stockholm, Sweden. This 2013
American team was again the favorite to win the gold, however no one could have anticipated they would
attain such a staggering margin of victory throughout by scoring 255 points in three games while
yielding just a single touchdown to the German team.
The forty-five women on Team USA were selected at tryouts held by USA Football and represent the
top players in the sport of women's tackle football. The American squad is recognized as such
internationally and have become ambassadors of the sport worldwide. The U.S. team will return home
tomorrow afternoon wearing gold medals and with the championship trophy in tow.

"Fruit of the Angels" stops cancer in its tracks

"Fruit of the Angels"
Stops Cancer in Its Tracks


    Christopher Columbus discovered it in Mexico and called it the "fruit of the angels."

    Some people think he chose the name because of the fruit's heavenly taste, unbelievable juiciness, and out-of-this-world scent.

    But beyond its taste and aroma, scientists have confirmed this fruit's ability to stop cancer growth. Nor do its health benefits stop with cancer. Keep reading to discover everything this "super fruit" can do for you...

Continued below. . .

Oliver was doomed to die from cancer
within 8 hours --
But then he found out what to do. . .
    Oliver had reached the end of the road in his seven-year fight against cancer. His doctors didn't think this 32-year-old man would live through the night.

    But when I talked to Oliver six years later, he was the picture of health! He got rid of his cancer completely.

    Yes, Oliver found the answer — his own cancer miracle.

    I sat down with him and his doctor and they told me an incredible story. . . a story that could help save you or someone you love from this dreaded disease.

    If you'd like to hear it, click here now.


The best cancer food these scientists could find
    Out of 14 foods studied by scientists for the ability to stop breast cancer cell growth, papaya outshone them all.

papaya.jpg 260x193    The list of foods they examined included avocado, fuava, mango, prickly pear cactus, pineapple, grapes, tomato and papaya. They measured beta-carotene, total plant phenolics, gallic acid, and antioxidant capacity.

    According to the International Journal of Food Science and Nutrition (May 2009) papaya was the only one with significant success at halting breast cancer cells.

    So what is it in papaya that induces cancer cell death?

    Scientists believe it may be organo-sulfur compounds called isothiocyanates.

    Animal experiments show that isothiocyanates protect against cancers of the breast, lung, pancreas, colon, prostate, and leukemia. What's more, they believe this protection may also apply to humans.

    Isothiocyanates are believed to be capable of inhibiting both the initiation and development of cancer cells, through many pathways and mechanisms.1

    Japanese researchers found that an isothiocyanate known as BITC controls the relationship between cell cycle regulation and appropriate cell death. As you probably know, when cancer cells die on schedule they're not a problem. It's their tendency to be almost immortal that makes them so deadly.

    These researchers found that BITC's cancer-killing properties were more effective against proliferating cells than dormant ones — and of course the proliferating ones are the highly dangerous ones.2
Groundbreaking research on lab-grown tumors
    Along with colleagues in Japan, University of Florida researcher Nam Dang, M.D. and Ph.D., documented papaya's dramatic anticancer properties versus several lab-grown tumors (including cervical, breast, liver, lung and pancreas).3

    These researchers made an extract from dried papaya leaves, and exposed 10 types of cancer cell cultures to four different strengths of papaya for 24 hours. Papaya slowed the growth of tumors in all the cultures, but larger doses had stronger anticancer effects.

    They also found that papaya leaf extract boosts the key signaling molecules called Th1-type cytokines, important for regulating your immune system.

    You'd be happy to know that the papaya extract had no toxic effects on any normal cells — a problem with many cancer therapies, notably conventional ones. Papaya's success in this regard lines up with reports from indigenous populations in Australia and Vietnam, according to Dang, of the UF Shands Cancer Center Clinical Trials Office. It's important to note that papaya leaf extract is not the same as the fruit, but these findings suggest that both have the power to kill cancer cells.

    A researcher at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Bharat B. Aggarwal, Ph.D., is so convinced of papaya's awesome health powers that he personally eats a serving of papaya every day.

Of course, you'd already know papaya can lick cancer if you owned a copy of our Complete Guide to Alternative Cancer Treatments. You can get a free copy of this 460-page book by joining our "platinum club," the Alternative Cancer Research Institute.

    In the Complete Guide, an Australian man named Stan Sheldon, diagnosed with lung cancer in 1962, had this to say about papaya: "I was dying from cancer in both lungs when it was suggested to me as an old Aboriginal remedy. I tried it for two months and then I was required to have a chest X-ray.... They told me both lungs were clear."

    That's an amazing story, and I certainly can't promise results like that. But if I had cancer I think I might add papaya to my diet! It sure can't hurt.
The papain miracle — fights rogue proteins and more...
    The reason for papaya's health-promoting powers is most likely papain — papaya's signature enzyme — found in both the fruit and the leaves.

    Papain is a powerful proteolytic enzyme that facilitates chemical reactions within your body. It helps break down long-chain food proteins into small bits -- amino acids or short-chain peptides -- that your body can use. Proteolytic enzymes protect you from inflammation, and digest unwanted scar tissue both on your skin and under its surface.

    Proteolytic enzymes like papain are powerful agents against cancer, heart and artery disease, arthritis pain and a whole range of other medical conditions. You can learn more about them in a Special Report I wrote myself called The Missing Ingredient for Good Health. I take enzymes daily and recommend them to everyone.

    Unfortunately, as you age, your body's own production of digestive enzymes goes down, leaving you with excessive undigested proteins that can cause a shortfall of amino acids and an excess of unwanted bacteria and other toxins.

    If undigested proteins penetrate your gut and escape into your bloodstream, they are treated by your immune system as invaders. Too many of these escapees, and your immune system gets overworked and can't keep up.

    Eating papaya counteracts that problem, aids digestion and also helps replenish friendly intestinal bacteria. Papain provides the proteolytic power you need to free up your immune system to do its normal work.

    Proteolytic enzymes can also digest and destroy the defense mechanisms of viruses, tumors, allergens, yeasts, and some types of fungus. Once their shield is destroyed, these menacing organisms are extremely vulnerable and your immune system can easily oust them.
The awesome cancer-fighting power of lycopene
    Papaya's orange-yellow-pink coloring is the visible sign of an awesome group of cancer-fighting carotenoids. The fruit boasts high amounts of beta-carotene, but lycopene (a powerful antioxidant) is also abundant.

    University of Illinois scientists believe these antioxidants may be another reason why papaya is such a powerful cancer fighter.

    This hypothesis seems to be backed by epidemiological studies, which show an inverse relationship between lycopene and prostate cancer risk. The higher a person's lycopene levels, the lower his risk of prostate cancer. And the good news is that oral lycopene is highly bioavailable and accumulates in prostate tissue.

    Other experiments indicate that lycopene provokes cancer cell death, prevents metastasis, and encourages protective enzymes.4 If you're new to this newsletter, "metastasis" is the word for cancer spreading from the original site to other parts of the body. It's the signal for late stage cancer, which is very hard to cure.

    An Australian study evaluated 130 prostate cancer patients and 274 hospitalized controls.

    They found that men consuming the most lycopene-rich fruits and veggies (like papaya) were 82 percent LESS likely to get prostate cancer. Green tea also showed a powerful anti-cancer effect. And the synergistic effect of both together was even better.5
Wipes out intestinal parasites
    As mentioned earlier, papain improves digestion by breaking down protein and cleansing your digestive tract.

    This means papain may destroy many an intestinal parasite, because parasites are mostly protein. Researchers Mariam Naseem and Muhammed Kamran at the University of Karachi, India, note that in Nigeria, 76.7 percent of children were able to shake off intestinal parasites in just seven days by drinking the juice of papaya seeds. If those results can be confirmed, they amount to a breakthrough in parasite treatment.

    Similarly, if your body fails to break down proteins from your food, you're left with undigested protein that can make its way into your colon and contribute to gassiness, bloating, indigestion, and more.
Also of value if you care about heart health
(and who doesn't?)
    Papaya is also a naturally occurring blood thinner that can reduce your risk of blood clots and optimize blood flow. It does this because the papain enzyme in papaya breaks down fibrin, the protein in the blood that creates clots and helps make blood thick and viscous. If you reduce fibrin levels you slash your risk of blood clots, which are the immediate cause of most strokes and heart attacks.

    Papaya seeds also promote a healthy heart, by way of three powerful antioxidants — vitamins A, C, and E. Carotenoid phytonutrients in your body help prevent oxidation of cholesterol — which is the process that makes cholesterol stick to the walls of your blood vessels and form plaques that can lead to heart attacks and strokes.

    Papaya's high fiber also has a cholesterol-controlling effect on your body.
Protects your eyes from macular degeneration
    As you probably know, age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) can cause blurred vision, eventually leading to blindness. The antioxidant beta-carotene, which gives the orange color to papaya, is known to help prevent macular degeneration, according to a study published in the Archives of Ophthalmology. But note that it takes three or more servings of beta-carotene-rich fruits per day to lower your risk of macular degeneration.
And more...
    As you might expect of a whole food, papaya has extensive benefits throughout your system. Here's a quick list:
  • General nutrition — nutrients such as carotenes, flavonoid and vitamin C, vitamin B, fiber, magnesium…
  • Relief from toothache — you can massage it on teeth and gums for relief
  • Skin — great as a rejuvenator and used in many cosmetics. Kills dead cells and purifies skin when used as a facial mask. Also used for disorders such as eczema, psoriasis, sores, wounds and ulcers.
  • Anti-inflammatory — reduce inflammation systemically
  • Female hormones — may help regularize menstrual periods by normalizing hormones
  • Arthritis — its proteolytic enzymes may help control both rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis
Trouble in paradise: the risky side of papaya
    Naturally, there's a caveat. And it's a biggie...

    The vast majority (statistics vary, but around 80% seems to be the norm) of Hawaiian papayas are genetically modified. And cross-contamination to non-GMO crops is widespread throughout Hawaii — to the outrage of non-GMO growers.

    The U.S. does not ban genetically modified papayas. But if you're reading this from Europe, you should be safe… the information we have indicates GMO papayas are banned in the EU.

    One other caveat… due to its papain, it may be contra-indicated if you're on blood thinners or undergoing surgery soon. All proteolytic enzymes thin the blood. Consult your doctor on this. My recommendation is to wean yourself off pharmaceutical blood thinners by using natural proteolytic enzymes to do the same job.
How to shop for papayas
    The first thing you'll want to consider is buying organic. NOP standards prohibit GMO products from being labeled "organic".

    Do not be deceived by the "natural" label, however. So-called natural foods can (and do) include GMO foods. The use of the word is almost completely unregulated.

    We tried to find out for you which varieties are most likely to be genetically modified — or not — so you could avoid them. This is not an all-inclusive list, but it's a starting point to help you shop wisely. Please know that any GMO list is a moving target these days, and may change almost without notice. So it's a good idea to confirm this with your own research.

    Non-GMO varieties:
  • Solo / Kapoho Solo
  • Tainung No. 1
  • Mexican Red / Mexican Yellow
  • Orange Queen
    GMO varieties:
  • Rainbow
  • Kamiya / Laie Gold / Kamiah
  • Sunrise / SunUp
    Incidentally, papaya has other names… including Papaw or Paw Paw (Australian), Mamao (Brazilian), or Tree Melon.

    The two main varieties are from Hawaii and Mexico. And as already noted, most Hawaiian papayas are genetically modified. Mexican papayas can be as large as 20 pounds and 15 inches. Phew!

    Like bananas, papayas turn from green to yellow as they ripen, which happens quickly at room temperature or in a paper bag.

    If you can find organic and non-GMO sources, papaya can be a terrific adjunct to the rest of your healthy diet and provide an abundance of benefits — certainly including its cancer capabilities.
