NOTES FROM ECU AND BEYOND...
Previous Day Nuggets...
Next Day Nuggets...
Compiled from staff reports
and electronic dispatches
Beavers beat Heels to win College World Series
Oregon State defeated
North Carolina 3-2 Monday at Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha to win the best of
three NCAA championship series 2-1 and capture its first national title in
baseball. It was the first team championship for a Beaver team since men's
cross country in 1961.
UNC-CH yielded an
unearned run in the eighth on a throwing error. Beaver mound stars Dallas
Buck and Kevin Gunderson combined to hold the Tar Heels scoreless in the
eighth and ninth.
Irish baseball coach to interview for LSU job
The Baton Rouge
Advocate has reported that Notre Dame coach Paul Mainieri will interview for
the LSU head baseball coaching position.
A former LSU player,
Mainieri will be in Baton Rouge on Tuesday night and Wednesday to interview
with LSU athletic director and former Tigers baseball coach Skip Bertman.
His record in 12
seasons at Notre Dame is 533-213-3. Former ECU slugger Cliff Godwin is
currently on the Notre Dame staff.
Cal QB
suspended after assault charge
The fairy tale career
of Cal quarterback Steve Levy took an unexpected turn early Sunday morning
in San Francisco, according to a report in The Berkley Voice.
Levy, who will be a
senior next season, was arrested after a fight at a bar on the corner of
Montgomery and Jackson streets. According to San Francisco Police Department
spokesman Dewayne Tully, Levy was booked for felony assault.
Tully said SFPD won't
release more information on the arrest until today.
Considered an
overachiever with tremendous heart and limited physical skills, Levy led Cal
to a 27-3 victory over Stanford in the 2005 Big Game followed by a 35-28
victory over Brigham Young in the Las Vegas Bowl.
A career backup who had
been converted from quarterback to fullback and then back again, Levy had
not attempted a pass in his career going into the 2005 season. However, when
starter Joe Ayoob struggled toward the end of the 2005 season, Levy was
inserted into the lineup and became an instant hit with the fans as he led
Cal to two huge victories.
Cal football coach Jeff
Tedford, who is on vacation, suspended Levy on Monday. The Cal sports
information department issued the following statement from Tedford: "We are
aware of the situation with Steve. He will not participate in any team
functions until we feel we have all of the information."
Cal athletic director
Sandy Barbour also issued a statement: "We've taken initial action. We are
now gathering information and will take appropriate action when we believe
we have the complete facts."
