By Tommy Hamzik

The Phoenix lost 5-1 Friday and 12-3 Saturday to the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, and took a 13-4 defeat on Sunday to end the series. Elon swept UNCG a year ago on the road as well.

By Kyle Maher

The final game for the six seniors on the Elon University softball team — left fielder Carleigh Nester, shortstop Ali Ford, right fielder Lauren Oldham, designated player Johanna Spencer, outfielder Amanda Allen and the injured Karen Berna — could not have been scripted any better. The game began with a moving ceremony in which each of the players were recognized for their contributions to the team, and ended with a walk-off fielder’s choice in the bottom of the ninth to give the Phoenix a 3-2 win over Samford University on Sunday, April 27. “We told the seniors that as big a game as it was for them (personally) being senior day, it was as important that we got the win and took the series,” Bocock said.

One century later, Wrigley Field still a gem

By Matt Mallian

There are few venues in sports as universally recognizable as Wrigley Field, and few as unique.  From the ivy-covered outfield walls to the bathroom troughs and cramped clubhouses, Wrigley is about as unique as stadiums come. Sure, maybe winning baseball hasn’t been a regular occurrence at Wrigley, but so what?  Who cares if the Cubs have never won a clinching playoff game in the stadium, or any playoff game there in more than 10 years?
