CBD Journal with Western Illinois (May 22nd)
– May 22, 2012Posted in: 2012 CBD Journals, CBD Journal, Horizon League
Halfway through the season Coach Villano started sending us video clips and questions to help us understand ourselves and what we were trying to accomplish this season. I will always remember one of the first ones he sent, of a speech by Kirk Cousins of Michigan State. He addressed over and over what a privilege it is to be an athlete and what an honor it is to represent something bigger. I speak for each of my teammates and anyone that competes with Western on their jersey, that it is a privilege to be a Leatherneck. Read the rest of this entry »

CBD Photo Gallery: Highlanders Take Series at Fullerton on Rubanowitz’s Diving Stop
– May 22, 2012Posted in: 2012 Season Coverage, Big West, CBD Photo Gallery, CBD Visit
FULLERTON, Calif. — On Cal State Fullerton’s Senior Day, senior Matt Orloff nearly was a hero. With two outs in the ninth inning and the tying run on third base, Orloff rocketed a ball down the third base line that was headed into the left field corner for extra bases.
But UC Riverside third baseman Alex Rubanowitz pivoted with his right foot, pushed off with his left and made a full-extension dive and watched the ball bounce into his glove less than a foot inside the foul line. Rubanowitz sprang to his feet. With his back foot toeing the chalk some five feet behind third base, he fired a strike across the diamond that popped into first baseman Vince Gonzalez’s glove just before Orloff’s foot plodded onto the base.
While it was an unpleasant end to Senior Day at Goodwin Field for Orloff and the Titans (33-18, 15-6), it was a fitting finish to a tense 1-0 pitcher’s duel between Sunday starters Dylan Stuart and Grahamm Wiest.
