Members of the Orioles starting rotation have had their struggles getting deep into games, but right-hander Jason Hammel gave the team a gritty six-inning effort against the Dodgers in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader.
Through 16 games, no Orioles starter has yet to last more than six innings. Still, the way Hammel battled through early pitch-count problems was key to the series-opening victory. It also served as an example to the rest of the rotation.
Hammel struggled through a 32-pitch first inning that saw the Orioles go down early on Andre Ethier's three-run homer. Through two innings, he was at 51 pitches. But Hammel put together back-to-back nine-pitch frames in the third and fourth innings before a 33-pitch fifth inning elevated his pitch count to 102 pitches.
Hammel said Orioles manager Buck Showalter didn't come up to him about going out for the sixth.
"I figured that if he had come over, I was going to tell him to not come over," Hammel said.
Hammel needed just 11 pitches to retire the Dodgers in order in the sixth before giving way to the bullpen.
"That's why Ham kind of graduated a little bit as a starter, because what you see in the first inning isn't necessarily what you're going to be seeing in the fifth or sixth inning," Showalter said. "They've got some guys who need to hopefully follow that lead. It's not, 'Woe is me and the sky is falling.' It's, 'OK, let's make an adjustment and let's get our team through this and get a chance to win the game and don't tax the bullpen too much.'"
Asked what Hammel changed after the first two innings, Showalter said, "I think he got more mad. I can read lips."
Hammel agreed that he was mad early. But he's often said — especially after he was named the team's Opening Day starter — that he wants to be a leader of the rotation. Persevering through Saturday's opener exemplified just that.
"Even earlier in my career, when that happened, I folded," Hammel said. "I would get so frustrated that it was happening. The aggression, it's a little different for me now emotionally. I've learned how to control it. That's really big. It's a minor victory for myself to know I can still do that.
"That's not that guy anymore. I'm not going to be a guy who [folds], so it was good to do that. And I do think that it shows something to the younger pitchers."
Around the horn
Jim Johnson's save in Game 1 was his 65th since Sept. 7, 2011, the most in that span and more than top closers Craig Kimbrel (53), Fernando Rodney (49), Jason Motte (48) and Rafael Soriano (48). … Chris Davis recorded his sixth multi-hit game with three hits in Game 1. His two doubles gave him his third multi-extra-base hit game of the season. … Baseball America reported that the Orioles signed minor league infielder Paco Figueroa, but one club source said Figueroa is coaching for the Orioles at extended spring training. Figueroa spent six seasons in the Orioles farm system and was on Spain's World Baseball Classic team this spring. … Double-A Bowie left-hander Chris Jones, who was acquired from Atlanta in the Luis Ayala trade, had his third straight scoreless relief outing Friday. In five scoreless relief innings since joining Bowie, he's allowed just three hits and has five strikeouts and no walks. … After two games at Bowie, Cuban outfielder Henry Urrutia is 3-for-9 with a double, one walk and three RBIs.

COLUMBUS, Ga. – (Box Score) Senior centerfielder Magean De La Torre hit a three-run home run as part of a seven-run sixth inning for No. 4 seed Oklahoma City as the Stars rallied past No. 5 Cal State San Marcos, 8-3, in the opening round of the 2013 NAIA Softball National Championship final site at the South Commons Softball Complex on Friday. The Stars move into the winner's bracket of the double-elimination event and will play the winner between No. 1 Concordia (Calif.) and No. 8 Reinhardt (Ga.) Monday at 4 p.m. EDT. The Cougars play No. 9 Saint Xavier (Ill.) in an elimination game Saturday at 10 a.m.
Junior Danielle Fox pitched four innings in scoreless relief, allowing just three hits and no walks while striking out five batters to earn her second victory of the season.
CSUSM (43-11) had eight base hits, three by junior first baseman Alex Miller. Freshman third baseman Tani Leasau had an RBI single in the second inning. An RBI single by junior designated hitter Brittney Guy and an unearned run in the third inning made it a 3-0 game.
Trailing 3-1 heading into the bottom of the sixth inning, OCU rattled off seven hits, including five consecutive base knocks, highlighted by De La Torre's 10th home run of the season. An RBI double by senior third baseman Drew Wright, followed by De La Torre's home run gave OCU a 5-3 lead. Later with the bases loaded, senior shortstop Tori Joyner had a two-RBI single for a 7-3 lead. Freshman left fielder Shelbi Legg later scored on a bases-loaded walk to close out the scoring.
"We've got a great group of seniors," OCU interim coach Bobbi Bridges said. "It was amazing. They have no quit in them .They knew they could do it and stepped up."
LeeAnn Lopez and Jamie Rateliff posted two hits each. Eight of the 10 Stars finished the day with at least one hit.
Cortney Allen, who entered the contest No. 3 in the NAIA in lowest ERA (.910), got knocked around by the Stars' bats. She fell to 34-6 on the year as she was hit with eight earned runs on 10 hits in 5 1/3 innings. Overall, Cal State San Marcos defense has not given up more than seven runs all year. The 19-15 win at Redlands (Calif.) on Feb. 19, 2011 was the last time the Cougars allowed eight-or-more runs.
The championship is a 10-team, double-elimination event hosted by the Columbus Sports Council. This is the 33rd annual championship and takes place in the state of Georgia for the first time in NAIA softball history.

The health status of many Coloradans is weighed down by expanding obesity challenges, with bleak prospects for public spending to attack the problems, according to a top foundation's annual "health report card."
In the Colorado Health Foundation's five measures of overall citizen wellness, one reading fell, another rose slightly and three stayed flat from the year before, foundation researchers said.
Colorado needs to stop patting itself on the back about being the thinnest state, the researchers noted.
Although we remain the slimmest in the nation, Coloradans are quickly joining Americans with ballooning waistlines — the 22-percent state obesity rate would have made it the fattest in the nation as recently as 1995.
"For a state often regarded as the 'leanest' and 'most active' in the country, Colorado falls short by many important health measures," said the foundation report, which has tracked key state factors since 2006.
The report crunches statistics including immunization rates, percentages of uninsured, smoking and childhood cavity levels. This year's analysis shows Colorado doing about the same for infants and slightly better for children, in part through more getting shots and fewer going without insurance.
While the state held even on adolescent and adult health, it did worse in "healthy aging," in part because the elderly appear to be slipping in both physical and mental activity, and for too many lacking a "medical home" with one coordinating doctor.
In presenting its findings, the foundation repeatedly hammered weight gain and bad food issues, calling for an acceleration in better nutrition efforts by both public and private advocates.
"The country's food distribution system is geared toward obesity," said foundation vice president Charles Reyman.
The foundation has spotlighted questionable marketing efforts and lobbying victories by big food companies as enablers in the obesity slide. Some nutrition experts and public-health researchers are calling for limits on marketing sugar- and fat-laden food to kids, and for soda taxes that would discourage over-consumption.
Foundation officials acknowledged that improving state health grades will be tough when public budgets are so strained.
Many health promotions save money in the long run by preventing expensive illness.
"We can make a financial, value-based argument to do these things," said Michele Lueck of the Colorado Health Institute, which sorts the numbers for the foundation.
But the savings don't always come back to the spenders. A private employer might not see a payback on employee wellness programs until that employee is retired and on Medicare; state Medicaid spending for prevention might save a private hospital or a school system money, but not the state budget.

Northwestern Lehigh Soccer Club (NLSC) holds OPEN tryouts for all age groups each spring. These tryouts are for the travel soccer teams that currently participate in the Lehigh Valley Youth Soccer League (LVYSL). Older age groups, with the consensus of parents, coaches, and the NLSC Director may choose to play in other leauges.
Open tryouts will be held from 1-4PM both 4/13 and 4/20
Please watch for updates for timeslots for your age group (U9-U16)
For any age groups not displayed, please email the

What to Bring:
Note: Players may or may not be given a numbered scrimmage vest to wear during hte tryout. If they are given a numbered vest, they should wear the vest for the entire session unless told otherwise by the lead coach running the tryout session. If given vests, players should wear the same vests for any additional tryout sessions they attend.
Players should arrive 15-20 minutes prior to the scheduled start time in order to complete the registration process. Registration is done on-site by submitting the completed registration form which you can download from the link above. It is not done prior to the tryout. Independent evaluators will be on-site and each player must be registered properly. Early arrival will ensure players are ready to begin promptly.
Evaluation Process:
Players will be evaluated for their technical, tactical, mental, and physical soccer abilities. Independent evaluators will evaluate the players and selections will be made by the coaching staff of the team from the pool of information established by the coaches evaluating players.
*Combined Age Groups
If a tryout is listed as combined and we have enough players to form an age-appropriate team at each age group, we will do that. If there is not enough players to form two separate teams then one combined team may be formed and entered into play at the older age. The lead coach at the session will discuss options with families attending the session

Fragmentation and Infrared Spectroscopy of oxo-centered Homo- and Heterotrimetallic Carboxylate Bridged Transition Metal Complexes (2018)
The gas phase infrared and fragmentation spectra of a systematic group of trimetallic oxo-centered transition metal complexes are shown and discussed, with formate and acetate bridging ligands and pyridine and water as axial ligands. The stability of the complexes, as predicted by appropriate ab initio simulations, is demonstrated to agree with collision induced dissociation (CID) measurements. A broad range of DFT calculations are shown. They are used to simulate the geometry, the bonding situation, relative stability and flexibility of the discussed complexes, and to specify the observed trends. These simulations correctly predict the trends in the band splitting of the symmetric and asymmetric carboxylate stretch modes, but fail to account for anharmonic effects observed specifically in the mid IR range. The infrared spectra of the different ligands are introduced in a brief literature review. Their changes in different environments or different bonding situations are discussed and visualized, especially the interplay between fundamental-, overtone-, and combination bands, as well as Fermi resonances between them. A new variation on the infrared multi photon dissociation (IRMPD) spectroscopy method is proposed and evaluated. In addition to the commonly considered total fragment yield, the cumulative fragment yield can be used to plot the wavelength dependent relative abundance of different fragmentation products. This is shown to include valuable additional information on the excited chromophors, and their coupling to specific fragmentation channels. High quality homo- and heterometallic IRMPD spectra of oxo centered carboxylate complexes of chromium and iron show the impacts of the influencing factors: the metal centers, the bridging ligands, their carboxylate stretch modes and CH bend modes, and the terminal ligands. In all four formate spectra, anharmonic effects are necessary to explain the observed spectra: combination bands of both carboxylate stretch modes and a Fermi resonance of the fundamental of the CH stretch mode, and a combination band of the asymmetric carboxylate stretch mode with the CH bend mode of the formate bridging ligand. For the water adduct species, partial hydrolysis is proposed to account for the changes in the observed carboxylic stretch modes. Appropriate experiments are suggested to verify the mode assignments that are not directly explained by the ab initio calculations, the available experimental results or other means like deuteration experiments.
Within this thesis a series of molecular species has been studied, with focus on hydrogen bonded species and on (solvated) transition metal complexes. Experimental techniques such as FT-ICR-MS and IRMPD were combined with ab initio calculations for the determination of structure and reactivity of the aforementioned types of systems. On the basis of high level electronic structure calculations of neutral water clusters (H2O)n with n = 17-21 a transitional size regime has been determined, where a structural stabilization between all-surface and interior configurations alternates with the addition or removal of a single water molecule. Electronic structure calculations suggested that for n = 17 and 19 the interior configuration would be energetically more stable than the all-surface one. The gas phase infrared spectrum of the singly hydrated ammonium ion, NH4+(H2O), had previously been recorded by photodissociation spectroscopy of mass selected ions and interpreted by means of ab initio calculations. The present work provides additional information on the shape of the potential energy curves of NH4+(H2O) along the N-H distance on MP2/aug-cc-pVDZ level of theory yielding an anharmonic potential shape. Calculation of potential energy curves of the O-H mode of the intramolecular hydrogen bond of various dicarboxylic acids (oxalic to adipic acid) revealed that the shapes of the potentials directly correlate to the size of the system and the resulting ring strain The shape of the potential is also influenced by the charge of the system. Calculation of anharmonic frequencies based on the VPT2 approach lead to reasonable results in all systems with narrow potentials. IRMPD spectra of complexes in the gas phase have been recorded for a series of cationic vanadium oxide complexes when reacted with acetonitrile, methanol and ethanol. The experimental spectra are compared to calculated absorption spectra. The systematic DFT study identifies potential candidates for reductive nitrile coupling in cationic transition metal acetonitrile complexes. On the basis of the calculations, the formation of metallacyclic structures in group 3 through 7 complexes can be ruled out. Solvation of the transition metal cation by five acetonitrile ligands leads to a reductive nitrile coupling reaction in three types of complexes, namely those containing either niobium, tantalum or tungsten.
