I am writing this Sunday night while waiting for ESPN's "Dream Job" to come on television, so in the true spirit of SportsCenter I offer you the Emory baseball team's Top Ten Plays of the Week:

10. Griffin Baum being a home run away from the cycle in our 15-6 route of Edgewood College in which Baum had a bases-loaded triple.

9. Travis Langley's 2 out, 2 strike shot down the line that scored Zander Sotiriou, pinch runner extraordinaire, to beat Edgewood 6-5 in the second half of the double header.

8. Will Carr brushing off North Georgia with 7 innings pitched and allowing only 1 run while striking out 6 to move to 7-0. All this on 3 days rest.

7. The OC party that followed our win over North Georgia. In attendance were Will "I go for the hotties" Carr, Kris "I have a front row seat" Herring, Jason "This is the only time I don't think about The Lake Show" Glushon, Sam "I only act like I don't know what's going on" Cunningham, Lane "I swear Julie Cooper isn't my mom" Cooper, Tom "I'm no better than the rest of them" Mieczkowski, Aaron "I'm the only one who brought a girl" Rosdal, and Andrew "I might like this show more than Glushon" Pinckney. What a good time.

6. Sending DePauw home with a doughnut. 10-0.

5. Glushon making it to the final three in a flip game before being blitzkrieged by Brye and Will.

4. Robbie Segear banging a home run off the left field foul pole in our 10-6 win over the PBA Stalefish.

3. REVENGE.

2. Josh Barrett breaking the Emory single season stolen base record in only our 26th game of the year. Way to go Josh.

1. Winning 26 straight games to start the year, a new school record and hopefully a number one ranking in the next poll.

Next week: The Emory Baseball Team's NOT Top Ten. You aren't going to want to be on this list.
