By MICHAEL WANBAUGH
When summer workouts began in preparation for the 2012 season, Notre Dame quarterback Everett Golson seemed like an afterthought.
Veteran Tommy Rees who started games in each of the past two seasons was back, as was Andrew Hendrix who also saw playing time in 2011. Then there was the arrival of freshman Gunner Kiel who was considered the top QB prospect coming out of high school last year. The depth chart behind center was suddenly very packed.
Golson, a red-shirt freshman from Myrtle Beach, S.C., was relegated to the Irish scout team last season and had a long way to go if he was going to see the field in 2012.
Now he is on the verge of leading No. 1 Notre Dame (12-0) to its first national title in 24 years when the Irish battle No. 2 Alabama (12-1) Monday night in the BCS National Championship Game at Sun Life Stadium in Miami. Kickoff is set for 8:30 p.m. EST.
"Coming in (as a freshman last year) I thought I was ready to play, or had that confidence that I was ready to play. But it wasn't that way for me," Golson said. "Being put on the scout team really humbled me and made me kind of reassess myself."
Notre Dame Head coach Brian Kelly surprised many when he named Golson the team's starter back in August before heading to Ireland for the season opener against Navy. He played well in the 50-10 win, but would struggle in upcoming games against Purdue and Michigan and miss the game against BYU because of concussion.
Kelly pulled Golson in favor of Rees twice and it seemed a quarterback controversy was brewing, even though Kelly insisted it wasn't. He backed up that claim by sticking with Golson, who had his best game of the season against Miami (Fla.) Oct. 6 at Soldier Field in Chicago, a 41-3 Irish victory.
"I think that built a little bit of confidence in me," Golson said. "What was instilled in me there showed (later) in the Oklahoma game and the Pitt game."
Against Oklahoma Golson emerged with a poise and confidence that ND offensive Coordinator Chuck Martin said he could see as he ran onto the field. Against Pitt the next week Golson was pulled again, but Kelly put him back in for the fourth quarter with the Irish trailing by 14 points. Golson brought the Irish all the way back for a 29-26 win in triple overtime.
"It's been a steady improvement (for Golson) as the year has gone on," Martin said. "The nice thing for him is he got thrown in the fire right away."
The fire gets even hotter Monday night against an Alabama defense that is as strong as it's ever been, leading the nation in rushing defense (79 yards per game) and second only to the Irish in scoring defense (10.69 points per game).
Led by linebacker C.J. Mosley and cornerback Dee Milliner, the Alabama defense has been one of the toughest to score on inside their 20-yard line. Opponents have come away with points inside the red zone just 63 percent of the time. That leads the nation.
The combination of Alabama's strength on defense and Notre Dame's slow progression on offense, has the defending national champion Crimson Tide installed as a 10-point favorite over the No. 1 Irish. Mosely said that doesn't make a difference.
"It's a championship game, so being the (favorite) or being the underdog doesn't matter," Mosely said. "Both teams are going to give it all they got."
Mosely leads the 'Bama defense with 99 tackles, 11 of those for a loss. Milliner has 51 tackles, two interceptions and 18 pass breakups.
In addition to Golson, who is a mobile, strong-armed quarterback, Alabama will have to deal with several Notre Dame weapons, both at the line of scrimmage and downfield.
The Irish one-two running back punch of Cierre Wood and Theo Riddick averages 74 and 73 yards per game, respectively. Tyler Eifert is one of the best tight ends in the country and often draws double coverage in red zone situations.
"I don't think we have seen anyone like him," Alabama linebacker Nico Johnson said of Eifert. "He has size and speed at the same time."
Wide receiver TJ Jones has also emerged as threat, catching 43 passes for 559 yards and four touchdowns. Jones' late father, Andre, was a defensive end on Notre Dame's last national championship team in 1988.
As for Golson, who continued to get better as the season went, going up against one of the game's great defenses is just another step in the process.
"Coming from the spring, one of (Coach Kelly's) main focuses for me was the mechanics of being a quarterback," Golson said. "I think he's helped me out a lot with that and I've shown progression from the start of the season.
"Alabama has a great defense," Golson added. "It's definitely going to be a great opportunity to compete for this national championship."

The freshmen came on as an important contributor late in the season.
As we creep closer to the exhibition game vs. West Chester, we will be previewing the roster on a player-by-player basis. Next up is freshman forward Kris Jenkins.

The Miami Marlins have agreed to terms with free-agent third baseman Placido Polanco, pending a physical, according to CBS Sports' Danny Knobler.
The deal is believed to be for one year and $2.75 million plus performance incentives, per the Miami Herald, a bit less than the $5 million the club had saved by dealing Yunel Escobar to the Tampa Bay Rays.
The Marlins' search for a replacement at the hot corner was fraught with disappointment, as the club showed interest in players like Jack Hannahan and Mark Reynolds only to watch them sign elsewhere, dissipating an already thin free-agent market at the position.
Miami got so desperate to find an answer at third that the club reportedly scouted veteran Miguel Tejada -- who was released from the Orioles' Triple-A affiliate in May -- in the Dominican winter league this past week.
Polanco, 37, spent the past three seasons with the Philadelphia Phillies. He put up serviceable numbers in his first two years with the club -- earning an All-Star bid in 2011 -- but struggled his way through 2012 because of injuries. The veteran infielder appeared in just 90 games this past season, hitting .257/.302/.327 with two home runs.
Polanco is now a 15-year big-league veteran and is a career .299/.344/.403 hitter.

Editor's note: CNHI newspapers that are not weekly subscribers to Taylor Armerding's column may publish this one if they notify him at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The list of racist "dog whistle" terms got a little longer over the past couple of weeks, which is a clear signal that efforts to distract the public from the Obama administration's scandals and failures are becoming increasingly desperate.
This past week's savior for Obama's acolytes was Richard Sherman, the amped-up Seattle Seahawks cornerback.
Sherman complained, after some people called him a "thug" for his over-the-top rant following Seattle's victory over the San Francisco 49ers two weeks ago, that the term has become an "accepted way of calling somebody the N-word."
Sherman is right to complain about the excessive criticism. What he said makes him one in a long line of tiresome, self-absorbed, athletic braggarts, but it doesn't come close to making him a thug.
But he is dead wrong about "thug" being code. So are the usual crowd of lefties and race hustlers who've come rushing to say that Sherman is right and that anybody who has ever called President Obama a thug – or, in particular, a "Chicago thug" – is guilty of delivering a barely closeted racial slur.
Uh, no, they are not.
As other, more sane observers have pointed out, the word "thug" has been applied to the all-white Republican governor of New Jersey, Chris Christie, and his staff hundreds of times in the last few weeks – for good reason, at least when it comes to his staff. It was clearly political thuggery to cause major traffic jams by closing lanes to the George Washington Bridge from Fort Lee, N.J., for no apparent reason other than payback to one of Christie's Democratic detractors.

Ann Coulter Calls Politico's Herman Cain Hit Piece 'Another High-Tech Lynching'
By Noel Sheppard | October 31, 2011 | 01:39
Politico stunned the presidential campaign Sunday night with a hit piece on Herman Cain alleging with unnamed sources that two women accused the Republican candidate of "inappropriate behavior" decades ago.
Appearing on Fox News's Geraldo At Large moments after the story broke, conservative author Ann Coulter said, "It's outrageous the way liberals treat a black conservative. This is another high-tech lynching" (video follows with transcript and commentary):
GERALDO RIVERA, HOST: Ann Coulter, big deal not so big?
ANN COULTER: It's outrageous the way liberals treat a black conservative. This is another high-tech lynching. Even the allegations…
RIVERA: In the words of Clarence Thomas, the Supreme Court justice?
COULTER: That's right. There's nothing liberals fear more than a black conservative. Ask Allen West, ask Michael Steele, and ask Clarence Thomas. And even what the allegations are here, I mean, it shows you how the civil rights juggernaut has gone off the rails. The idea of civil rights laws to begin with ironically was to protect blacks from Democrats in the south who wouldn't protect them. Now it's white women in Scarsdale who say, "Ooh, I don't like that he called me honey."
And even what the allegations in this – sorry, I was pointing to my iPhone where I just read about it - it's not groping. It's not touching. It's not that he demanded sex. It's that he had remarks that they found inappropriate. One is that he had inappropriate gestures that were not overtly sexual. Well what were they then? This isn't dropping your pants and saying, "Kiss it." This is an outrageous attack on a black conservative who is doing extremely well and I think will be our vice presidential candidate.
Even sadder, Cain predicted this would happen five months ago. As the Washington Examiner's Byron York reported in May:
But wouldn't liberals and Democrats still find a racially-based way to attack Cain? They certainly found a way to attack Clarence Thomas, the black, conservative Supreme Court justice.
"They're going to come after me more viciously than they would a white candidate," Cain responded. "You're right. Clarence Thomas. And so, to use Clarence Thomas as an example, I'm ready for the same high-tech lynching that he went through -- for the good of this country." Cain smiled broadly. "I'm ready for the same high-tech lynching."
Well, here it is, Herman. What's your next move?

#3 It's hilarious
Submitted by Plumb Bob on Mon, 10/31/2011 - 4:53pm.
Since the Democratic party made it clear that they don't consider a Governor dropping his pants and saying "kiss it" inappropriate behavior, so long as he takes "No" for an answer (see "Paula Jones" if you doubt me,) I'm wondering what could possibly constitute "inappropriate behavior" in their minds.
Come to think of it, since the Democratic party made it clear that they do not consider RAPE inappropriate behavior (see "Juanita Broderick" if you doubt me,) I'm wondering even more what they're calling "inappropriate behavior" in this case.

inappropriate behavior and questioning the merits and motivations of a lawsuit. With respect to Jones, the MSM, and Democrats, instances of the former were exceedingly rare while examples of the latter abound.
The Broderick 'affair' had been an issue thoroughly aired in Arkansas long before Clinton became a candidate for president, and she had consistently denied she was raped. Years later she changed her story. It's doubtful the actual truth of the matter will ever be known.

If anything speaks to the need to remove ALL liberals from positions of power in this country, this is it. It's the sleazy politics of personal destruction that seems to come so easy to them from the liberal playbook. D-I-S-G-U-S-T-I-N-G
IF Bachmann, Romney, Paul, Gingrich, Perry, etc. have any political sense at all they will roundingly and loudly condemn liberals for such disgusting political tactics. Place the blame where it belongs!!!!

#10 Remember John McCain's "scandal"?
Submitted by metaphorsbwithu on Mon, 10/31/2011 - 2:56am.
If you recall, the ink was barely dry on the New York Times' endorsement of then candidate John McCain in early 2008 when they ran that front-page story about an anonomous rumor from a decade past implying an affair with lobbyist Vicki Iseman.
To be honest, the liberal playbook is so predictable, all candidates should use the Obama straw man strategy ("they're gonna tell you I'm this and that") to lessen the impact of these sordid tricks when they occur.
Everyone of us who follow the news could have predicted something like this would happen ... and we did.
It's all the left has and it's about time the establishment types stop playing their insider games and address this muckraking garbage ... with fluency.

Submitted by amyshulk on Mon, 10/31/2011 - 5:21am.
I get the "uncomfortable" part - been there with a senior military guy who took "sorry, really not so interested" as flirting for too long, but I finally got it squared away, by being direct.
Seems to me the things gov't. does to "help" always gave me problems.
Loosening accepting females into active duty? Reaction "you are taking my stateside duty & forcing me into back to back overseas stints"
Disability tag so I could attend my back to back classes without a 1/4 mile hike to & from the car to get the books that weighed too much together? Reaction "Why are using a disabled spot, I can't SEE your disability, you MUST be faking"
The more gov't. interferes to "correct" a wrong, the less people perceive the true wrongs.

#15 Just recalled it actually
Submitted by amyshulk on Tue, 11/01/2011 - 6:06am.
Just recalled it actually happened to me 4 times - once before I joined the USN, 3 times while in. Each time it make me feel sick to my stomach, and a bit helpless, since it didn't seem like these guys cared if I returned their interest or not.
Standing too close, mumbling vile things that I couldn't quite make out, but got the gist of - that's what I call sexual harassment. Rule of thumb - 1 time is bad, but allowing it to happen again is on BOTH.
If you *have* to be around the guy like I did? Learn to be direct, avoid being alone, and preserve your space.
Yes, the guy I talked about in my above post was able to harass me for too long, but I was young & dumb & had to reach that point where I wouldn't tolerate his behavior to get him to stop. I could have gone above his head {I was an E-3, he was an E-1} to the office, but I think shutting him down by myself enabled me to easily deal with the next 2.
When did we {women} become a bunch of helpless damsels in distress? When gov't. said "we'll deal so you don't have to"

Submitted by dscott on Mon, 10/31/2011 - 3:29pm.
The primary beneficiary is Barack Obama as this would potentially maneuver Mitt Romney to be the GOP nominee. The Dems believe Romney is the best man to beat given his flip flopping (creative repositioning) and RomneyCare (mirco-ObamaCare). IMO, There is no difference between Romney and Obama, both will lie for your vote and I doubt seriously in the minds of moderates whether there is any real difference between a Dem and a GOPer given the nuanced liberal track record of both.
This has the fingerprints of Dems, they ever ate their own in John Edwards. Remember, it was the National Enquirer, an ally of the Clintons who exposed him. The MSM was not happy with the Clintons for doing so and treated her accordingly.

#23 Conspiracy theories.
Submitted by Denny Crane on Mon, 10/31/2011 - 8:57pm.
Highly unlikely. Rush explained why today. It smells like a liberal tactic, and if one of the other campaigns leaked it to the Politico, they are banking that the Politico will keep it quiet that they leaked it. What are the chances of that?
Nope, this is just too fishy to be an inside hit piece.

#24 Ann Coulter exposes the
Submitted by dscott on Sat, 11/12/2011 - 12:30pm.
Ann Coulter exposes the connection on how the NRA records were tapped for the latest smear campaign:
Suspicions had already fallen on Sheila O'Grady, who is close with David Axelrod and went straight from being former Chicago mayor Richard M. Daley's chief of staff to president of the Illinois Restaurant Association (IRA), as being the person who dug up Herman Cain's personnel records from the National Restaurant Association (NRA).
The Daley-controlled IRA works hand-in-glove with the NRA. And strangely enough, Cain's short, three-year tenure at the NRA is evidently the only period in his decades-long career during which he's alleged to have been a sexual predator.
After O'Grady's name surfaced in connection with the miraculous appearance of Cain's personnel files from the NRA, she issued a Clintonesque denial of any involvement in producing them -- by vigorously denying that she knew Cain when he was at the NRA.
As I said before, when Allred came out of the woodwork to represent Bialek, the source of the false accusations was the Democrat Party and now specifically an Obama operative...Axelrod.

Submitted by Annie Ashe Fields on Mon, 10/31/2011 - 7:15am.
The electorate is FAR more sophisticated than Obama's Nancy-boys give them credit for, and LIKELY GOP VOTERS are old enough to remember what the headlines were when this supposedly happened.
$50k to shut up & go away during the age of "pubic hair on a Coke can" Anita Hill when the entire country's H.R. departments were FURIOUSLY rewriting Employee Handbooks to exhort men to never again tell a female co-worker "You look really nice today." makes the "gravity" of allegations that someone was "offended" and pawned off with a FLY SWATTER of a hush-payment RIDICULOUS.
First of all, this notion (to borrow a fave Obama phrase) that people have the right to not be "offended" is p*ssing people off coast-to-coast, so that's not going to buy a whole lot of good will.
Second, even DEMOCRATS, even on MSNBC, regard him as a good man of UNASSAILABLE good character.
Dems are politicking like it's the '90's and like Herman's a politician.
I thought Democrats were supposed to be the party of "new" ideas.
They should GET SOME.
Oh - and note that MSNBC, etc. is jumping ugly all over him for the way he's answering these allegations - Put them all in a box and they boil down to "THAT's not how a professional politician would answer!"

The Piglitico is a notch lower than the New York Slime as far as I'm concerned! Talk about racism, here it is right before our own eyes. They want dufuses like Obama and Waters but not intelligent people like Cain who can [And does!] think for himself. Its too bad that so many blacks are blind to the fact of who really keeps them on the plantation. On january 20, 2013, I will celebrate the inaugeration of President Herman Cain, a real uniter with "Real Change" that I can believe in!

#32 Who's running scared?
Submitted by iamsaved on Mon, 10/31/2011 - 8:31am.
Both sides of the aisle have reason to be frightened of Herman Cain. The Dems because they know he represents the possible first, real, black president who's not an empty suit. The mainline Republicans fear him because he may upset the beknighted, heir apparent to the Republican throne, Mitt Romney. Karl Rove, Charles Krauthammer and others of that ilk are on the offensive in trying to dissuade voters from voting for Cain.So either side could be the "leak".
The federal government alone is a breeding ground for EEO lawsuits. Many of the DoD lawyers aren't working contract law cases as they were hired to do, they're spending most of their time with EEO law suits. These suits for gender or racial discrimination are like mini-lotteries. Many get a quick $15,000 or more and others larger amounts. Many of the "afflicted" are given positions in job series they are unqualified for along with years of back pay. So, it would stand to reason that these frivolous EEO complaints are common place in the private sector too.
Ann Coulter was correct, someone who winks at a woman because they have something in their eye are grounds enough to file. Or mention the Uncle Remus story when discussing literature and mention the word tar baby or briar patch and you're a racist.
It seems to me the accusers better come forward and tell their story with verifiable facts to back them up.

For what the MSM breathlessly announced, the sins of Cain!
Remark: "you are the same height as my wife. And I brought my hand up to my chin saying, 'My wife comes up to my chin.'"
The Gesture: At that point, Cain gestured with his flattened palm near his chin. "And that was put in there [the complaint] as something that made her uncomfortable," Cain said, "something that was in the sexual harassment charge."
As you can by Cain's utterly sinful behavior, he belittled a female. The fires of perdition await him, sinner! SINNER! Cast him into the fiery pit! /sarcasm/ - did I really need to say that?

Officials at the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power have issued a customer alert that warns of recent incidents involving impostors posing as utility service workers.
Recently reported incidents are "distraction burglaries," where one impostor diverts the attention of the resident while another searches the home for valuable items to steal, according to an LADWP news release.
LADWP customers are asked to call 1-800-DIAL-DWP to verify the worker's identity, employment and purpose of visit before granting access to any part of their property.
Employees should be able to present their department-issued IDs and give their name, employee number and supervisor name at anytime upon request during a visit.
"Distraction burglary is an important issue for us, but the good news is, this form of victimization is easily preventable," said Patrick Findley, Director of LADWP Security Services Division in a press statement. "The more our customers know about it, the less likely it is to happen, so help us spread the word among your family, friends and neighbors."
To report suspicious activity to the Department:
- call LADWP Security Services at (213) 367-3373 or (213) 367-9111, or

Kentucky Football: 50,000 Fans Show SEC Football is Alive at Kentucky
Now everyone knows the basketball tradition for sure in Lexington. But many, especially all the young whipper snappers 70 and younger, do not realize the rich football tradition Kentucky had. Legendary Head Coach Bear Bryant actually had his first long time gig with the Wildcats from 1946-54 before leaving for the Texas A&M Aggies. Bryant was 60-23-6 overall and 23-19-4 in the SEC including a Sugar Bowl win and a final ranking of seventh in 1950.
There is more support for football here than most people believe. Kentucky games are well-attended most years (with the notable exception of last year), and a look at history supports that, even though Kentucky has been historically mediocre at best.

Know this: Fraschilla is not convinced Wiggins is a better player than Randle, who is already a member of John Calipari's eight-player 2013 recruiting class. Fraschilla lives in suburban Dallas and has watched Randle play AAU basketball since the fifth grade.
"If Julius can figure out a few things at Kentucky next season, there's no reason he won't compete with Andrew for the top spot in the draft next season," Fraschilla said. "He's that talented and skilled.
I think that's right. Randle and Wiggins are two different kinds of players, but Wiggins arguably has more weaknesses in his game than Randle does. He covers them up with his athleticism, but at at the next level, he won't be able to.
Wiggins' biggest weakness is between his ears. He's got to learn that there is a difference between being willing to shoot the ball and dominating a game.

He's quick enough to play point in the NBA, but his lack of size is a liability. Still, with guys like Nate Robinson in the league, you know that's one liability that can be overcome with blazing quickness, something that Smith has plenty of.

Pours a chill-hazed honey color with 2+ fingers of cream colored head. Doesn't totally clear up, alright lacing & head retention
S: Grassyness & pears; nice perfumy notes as this warms
T: Pears, a touch of honey & white grapes along with grassyness up front. Slight soapyness, faint crackery notes & more pear notes, plus dryness as this warms, some grainyness, slight lemony notes. Finishes crisp, fruity, & slight grainyness & a kiss of lemon drop candy & grainyness
MF: Medium bodied, crisp carbonation; fairly good balance
Very drinkable, not spot on, but I will buy this again, enjoyable & worth a try

Overall, I was really impressed with this one. Quality pils malt flavors form a solid, bready, husky foundation. Hops are snappy with plenty of herbal and grassy flavor and a firm bitterness. The finish is properly dry, but the mouthfeel remains plenty full with some light hop oiliness. Yeast actually adds some interesting character with some fruit skin, rose water, and just a faint whiff of sulfur. Carbonation is spot on. It appears to be bottle-conditioned but it pours up perfectly clear, while the head leaves some spotty white lace on the glass. One of the better beers I've had from the boys at Choc, they did their homework on this one. In my opinion, a big improvement over the old Spring IPA. I'll definitely be throwing a few of these back this spring.

16 ounce pint - $6.50 at Taco Mac in Woodstock, Georgia.
Appearance: Fairly clear, full-on golden body with a slim, small, white head barely kept alive by a few steady steams of carbonation.
Smell: A little hint of diacetly and a little hint of DMS atop some musky, dingy grains.
Taste: Butter-brushed, grainy pilsner malts. Light, brief sweetness. Dry lemon peel, spicy herbaceousness with a medium level of hop based bitterness. Drying, grainy, with a hint of butterscotch and cooked cabbage in the finish. Good grief.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Barely a bit over medium carbonation.
Overall: It's been quite some time since my last Choc beer. I think the old saying goes: the more things change, the more Choc beers stay the same. Well below average, basically.

12oz bottle served in a Sam Adams perfect pint
A - Pale golden with a slight haze. 2 fingers of frothy sticks to the glass ok.
S - Fresh cut grass, sweet grain, bready, lychee fruit, reminds me of spring, very faint lager yeast in the background.
T/M - Green grass with a spicy bitterness, bright lychee, fresh wheat grass, fruit and lemon rind, earthy and floral lavender but with a clean feel. Bready pale malt really adds some bulk. Good level of carbonation with a crisp spicy finish.
Fresh flavors and constructed very well. This beer makes me wish it was warmer outside. This brewery is headed in the right direction.

SPOKANE, Wash. - Carter Hadlock is just a normal five-year-old boy who likes to play with monster trucks, trains, and Mario Brothers.
Last January, Hadlock was diagnosed with Leukemia. His life was changed forever. However, he won't let his disease slow him down. Carter amazes his mother, Amanda every day.
"He just wants to get up and play. He just wants to be 5. If that happened to me, I can't say how I would be, but I am pretty sure I would be in a bed," Hadlock said.
Carter spends a lot of time at Sacred Heart Children's Hospital, where the Rypien Foundation helps make every trip a little more like home.
It donated a movie room, where the kids can watch different movies and play video games, donated many instruments for the kids to play on, and also donated IV backpacks so the kids don't have to stay in bed.
For Carter's mom Amanda, it's the Rypien Foundation and everyone else who helps them out that make all the difference.

FGCU Suffers Late-Inning Setback to FAU
FORT MYERS, Fla. – In a game that saw a combined 13 players take the mound, FAU used a late rally in the eighth inning to plate five runs and turn what was a 3-1 FGCU lead into a 6-3 triumph for the visiting Owls on Tuesday night at Swanson Stadium.
The first five batters of the eighth inning recorded a hit for FAU, who had just four base-knocks over the first seven innings. All five batters who led off the frame came across to score, as the Owls used six hits to leave no runners on in the big inning.
FGCU, who now stands at 22-27 on the season, will turn its attention to a crucial Atlantic Sun weekend road trip to third place Belmont (26-21, 14-10). The Eagles (11-13) are currently in eighth place in the A-Sun standings just a game and a half out of the sixth and final qualifying spot for the postseason conference tournament.
The Eagles accounted for eight of the pitchers in the game, starting senior Austin Gaines (Dunedin, Fla./Northeast HS/South Florida CC) who tossed three scoreless innings. Freshmen Brandon Bixler (Oviedo, Fla./Hagerty HS) and Harrison Cooney (Vero Beach, Fla./Vero Beach HS) along with sophomore Kevin Bryant (Homestead, Fla./South Dade HS) helped FGCU hold onto its 3-1 lead through seven innings after getting one run in the fourth and two more in the fifth.
Senior Craig Crumbly (Winter Haven, Fla./Lake Region HS) got the loss on the mound after starting the eighth, giving up four runs on four hits.
The top six batters in the FGCU lineup finished with at least one hit, led by multi-hit evenings from freshman Brandon Bednar (Stuart, Fla./South Fork HS) and senior Tim Roberson (West Palm Beach, Fla./Palm Beach Central HS). Roberson drove in one of the Blue and Green's two runs in the fifth. Senior Mikel Alvarez (West Palm Beach, Fla./Palm Beach Central HS) picked up the 309th hit of his career, moving just two away from Josh Upchurch's all-time record of 311.
FAU sent five pitchers to the mound, but it was the four out of the bullpen that silenced the FGCU bats. The Owls' pen combined to go 4.2 innings, giving up three hits and no runs.
Game one of this weekend's series in Nashville is slated for 7 p.m. on Friday, May 13.

METAIRIE, La. - The krewe of Argus is adding an Oscar nominee and some of her co-stars to its celebrity lineup for its Fat Tuesday parade, the krewe announced.
Academy Award-nominated actress Quvenzhané Wallis, 9, will ride in Argus with co-stars Dwight Henry, Lowell Landes and Jovan Hathaway from the award-winning film "Beasts of the Southern Wild," the krewe announced.
Also riding as grand marshals will be "minions" from the upcoming animated film "Despicable Me 2," the sequel to the 2010 movie. The new film is set to be released in July, featuring the voice talents of Steve Carell, Al Pacino, Russell Brand, Miranda Cosgrove and Kristen Wiig.
"Beasts" breakout star Wallis is the youngest ever actress to be nominated for an Academy Award for best actress. The film was shot on location in south Louisiana and is also nominated for best picture.
"This is an exciting time for Hollywood South and Argus is honored to celebrate the local talent from the cast of Beasts and their award winning performances, by having them ride with us Mardi Gras Day", said Rob DeViney, co-captain of the Krewe of Argus. "To have the Minions from "Despicable Me 2" will add just as much excitement to the day," said DeViney, "If they behave."
Argus was founded in 1972 and parades Mardi Gras day in Jefferson Parish on the traditional Veterans Blvd. route.
