Tech One improves

to 3-0 on season

In Major League action, Tech One improved to 3-0 with an 18-11 victory over Hamrick Mills.

Clay Snipes, Andrew Pennington and Jake Morgan combined for the win.

Trailing 5-0 after three innings, Brooke Hope got things going by legging out a run on a hard-hit ball.

Tech One then added nine more runs in the fifth.

Morgan was 3 for 4 with four RBIs, while Evan McCurry and Hope each were 2 for 4 with a pair of RBIs and Jacob Gibson, Jay Baxter and Pennington all had two hits and an RBI.

Wizards rout

Cavaliers

LeBron James was serenaded with chants of "over-rated!" as he stood at the free throw line late in the third quarter, the latest humorous twist in an ongoing saga that had somehow snared, yes, believe it or not, one of his son's favorite rappers into a frontrow seat near the basket.

James couldn't help but laugh. He was so distracted he missed the free throw. Didn't really matter. By then, the Cleveland Cavaliers were trailing by 28 points, a stunning reversal from Game 2 to Game 3 in their first-round series against the Washington Wizards.

Maybe it was the new haircuts sported by four Wizards players. Maybe it was the presence of Soulja Boy. Maybe it was sight of Colin Powell in a "White Out" T-shirt. Or just the comfort of being home. Or the inspiration of having Gilbert Arenas in the starting lineup, even though he limped out of the game in the first half.

Actually, there were plenty of reasons the Wizards routed their playoff nemesis, 108-72 in a Thursday night party at the Verizon Center. DeShawn Stevenson, who started the "overrated" talk and invited Soulja Boy to the game, had a "can't-feel-my-face" 19 points.
