And the Oscar Goes to...
A great week concluded on Sunday not only with an enjoyable bus ride back to Atlanta, Georgia, but also with the 78th Annual Academy Awards in Hollywood, California. So, in honor of the Oscars, here we go:
The Nominations for Best Supporting Actor are:
The Eagles' reserves on Saturday tallied 11 runs, beating out the starter's 10 runs in the first three innings.
Academy Award Winner George Clooney in Syriana.
The Eagles' bullpen struck out 15 batters in 11 innings of work over the course of 4 games.
The 2 pinch-hit home runs on Saturday, by Dave Murchison and Kai Beasley (both firsts at Emory).
The Maryville heckler who came prepared with notes, quotes, and facebook information.
And the Oscar Goes to...
The 11 runs put up by Eagles' reserves on Saturday. Along with a solo home run by Dave Murchison (3-3 on the day) and a three-run home run by Kai Beasley, and RBIs from Brandon Custer, Tim Cournoyer (2-3), and Sam Cunningham helped the Eagles add to a 21-3 victory over Maryville College on Saturday.
The Nominatons for Best Cameo are:
Freshman Tyler Short playing second base during Saturday's game.
Alum Ted Karniewicz at Oglethorpe Thursday Night.
Justin Gordon playing second base during Thursday's game.
Coach Perez coaching first base over the weekend.
Dave Murchison's weekend in centerfield.
And the Oscar Goes to...
Alum Ted Karniewicz graced us with his presence during the week, and the legendary Eagle has quite a rap sheet. Career average of .416, .705 slugging percentage, 149 games played, 241 career hits, 59 doubles, and 34 career home runs turn up in the top five in all those categories, with doubles tied for the lead, and his 34 home runs 15 more than the next Eagle.
The Nominations for Best Screenplay are:
Senior Justin Gordon's first collegiate home run after 410 prior at bats.
Sophmore Frank Pfister's first collegiate home run, and in the park* home run on Thursday night.
Mike Kerfeld's stellar performance, striking out 9, allowing 0 runs on 3 hits vs. Oglethorpe.
Dave Hissey's 9-15 week, including 8 RBIs over that stretch.
Alex Sotiriou's stretch of reaching base 7 of 8 times during a 2-game period.
And the Oscar Goes to...
Justin Gordon's first collegiate home run. It was worth the wait, and 'Wisdom' has been swinging the bat better than ever. His 374 foot home run was another great chapter to an already award-winning book here at Emory. Congrats, J-Go, hope the wait was worth it.
The Nominations for Best Picture are:
5-1 Win vs. Adrian College
10-0 Win vs. Oglethorpe University
21-3 Win vs. Maryville College
10-5 Win vs. Maryville College
Encino Man starring Pauly Shore and Brendan Fraser
And the Oscar Goes to...
10-0 Win vs. Oglethorpe University. This game had it all, from fielding to pitching to hitting. A superb defensive showing helped aid the pitching staff who struck out 15 Stormy Petrels while only allowing 3 hits. The offense collected 13 hits, including a Pfister home run, but more importantly, the agressiveness shown on all sides of the field helped keep the energy up, scoring from the 1st to the 9th innings.
The week ahead calls for some big games vs. LaGrange on Thursday, followed by Heidelberg on Saturday. Following those games is our annual trip to Sanford for the UAA Tournament, so hopefully we can ride our streak through this week and beyond.
Until we meet again next week, Good Night and Good Luck.

questions from Emory recruits and fans.
