One of my favorite sporting events of the year is the NFL Draft. There is just something about watching teams pick guys out of college. But whenever the Raiders are on the clock, I get a sick feeling in my stomach. I just know that the Raiders are going to do something that makes me scratch my head.
Baseball Kicked off this weekend's series at Northeastern with a 7-2 victory on Friday night. Senior left-hander Ian Thomas (Virginia Beach/Kellam) had another spectacular outing, this time getting a complete game win. Doug Otto (Jefferson City, Mo./Helias) went 1-5 with 2 RBIs on the day to lead the Rams, who only banged out eight hits.
