K-Tribe Smash the Dash
Box Score – http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?sid=milb&t=g_box&gid=2010_07_21_wswafa_kinafa_1
Karexon Sanchez blasted a homer and drove in two runs to push the K-Tribe to a 5-1 win in their rubber game against Winston-Salem on Wednesday afternoon at Historic Grainger Stadium. Sanchez went 3-for-5, coming up a triple short of the cycle.
Kinston got on the board in the first inning against Winston-Salem starter Dylan Axelrod. Karexon Sanchez smoked a double to right field and scored on an RBI single by Chun Chen to make it 1-0. It was the first time in the series that the K-Tribe took the first lead of the game. The K-Tribe added on more in the second inning. Juan Diaz led off the frame with an infield hit and Donnie Webb followed with a single to right. The next batter, Doug Pickens, lifted a fly ball down the right field line that dropped just fair, allowing Diaz to score. Two batters later, Sanchez beat out a grounder to third to score Webb and give the Indians a 3-0 edge. Sanchez continued his hot day in the fourth inning, when he lined a home run to right center field. It was his team-leading ninth of the season, and gave him a team-best 39 RBI. Sanchez has four RBI and four runs scored in the last two games.The Indians put together a big start to the fifth inning but came away with just a run. Chen doubled and Kyle Bellows singled before Juan Diaz delivered an RBI single to right. However, Dash reliever Jake Rasner came on to get the final two outs and keep the K-Tribe's lead at 5-0.
Kinston starter Austin Adams (2-0) pitched five shutout innings on two hits for the win. He walked one and struck out two before giving way to Marty Popham. The Dash got on the board in the eighth inning off of Popham. Jon Gilmore reached on an error by Ronald Rivas and moved to second on a wild pitch. Seth Loman's RBI single cut the Indians lead to 5-1. Axelrod (5-2) struggled in the loss, giving up five runs on 12 hits, no walks and four strikeouts. Popham picked up his thrid save of the season, giving up four hits and an unearned run in four innings.
The K-Tribe win ended a three series losing streak. Kinston has beaten Winston-Salem in both of their rubber games this season. The Northern Division-leading Wilmington Blue Rocks come to town on Thursday to start a four game series. Thursday's game will be a 7 pm start, and lefty T.J. McFarland (9-2, 2.45) will take the mound for the K-Tribe.
NCAA’s probe into UNC extends to South Carolina
NCAA questions Gamecocks' Saunders
South Carolina tight end Weslye Saunders confirmed Sunday that he recently spoke with NCAA investigators in connection with a probe of the North Carolina football program.
Saunders, considered one of the top tight ends in the country, is close friends with Tar Heels defensive end Marvin Austin, who was also recently questioned by investigators.
On Thursday, a source said that UNC football players — including Austin — were being interviewed by the NCAA this week and asked questions about agents and whether anyone had received gifts or extra benefits.
The source also said that the NCAA's questions to players were intended to "make sure no Reggie Bush stuff is going on."
"I'm not really sure what's going on right now in terms of who's in trouble and how much," Saunders said Sunday.
Another source who has visited with Saunders said Sunday the NCAA is interested in time Saunders spent with Austin in South Florida this spring and who paid for hotel rooms and travel.
University of South Carolina athletics director Eric Hyman issued a statement Sunday acknowledging the NCAA's inquiry.
"The NCAA has been in contact with us regarding a possible rules violation in one of our programs," the statement said. "We have and will continue to cooperate fully with their inquiry. We have confidence in our compliance program and will work with the NCAA to bring this matter to a resolution in a timely fashion."
Coach Steve Spurrier told The (Columbia) State that he has no knowledge of Saunders breaking any rules.
Calls and messages from The Associated Press to Spurrier, returning from a celebrity golf tournament in Nevada, were not immediately returned. Calls to Saunders' father, Barry, a news columnist at a Raleigh, N.C., newspaper, also were not returned.
The investigation began with a phone call from the NCAA, North Carolina athletic director Dick Baddour said Thursday, though he declined to say when the call came or when investigators had visited the Chapel Hill campus.
A second source said Thursday that the NCAA asked all of UNC's projected NFL draft picks, many of whom elected to stay in Chapel Hill, to provide phone records so investigators could see which agents they had spoken with.
The players were also asked who paid for the travel, who paid their rent and which agents they had met with and when, according to the second source. Austin recently tweeted about a trip to Miami.
