VIRGINIA STAYS ALIVE AT THE CWS

The Virginia Cavaliers baseball team stayed alive at the CWS last night with 8-1 win over California.  The Cavs got a very strong pitching performance from Tyler Wilson and the offense woke up a bit getting 11 hits last night.  The Cavs will now turn to there ace tonight Danny Hultzen when the face South Carolina at the CWS, the Cavs will have to beat South Carolina twice to make it to the CWS Finals.  Also today at the CWS the Vanderbilt Commodores will face the Florida Gators with Vandy having to do the same thing UVA has to do win twice to advance to the CWS Finals.  The Nascar Sprint Cup Series will be in California this weekend at the Infineon Speedway which is a road course so look for some drivers who don't always run up front to be up there with some of the regulars.  Well I sure I am glad that is Friday.  MICKEY

Break Your Routine, it helps your brain
Brush your teeth with your left hand (if you're a righty), jog backward, and pursue anything else that forces you to deviate from your daily patterns. "In doing so, you'll stimulate new parts of your brain, encouraging it to make new connections," says Daniel Amen, M.D., author of Magnificent Mind at Any Age.
