Ozzie Smith is right: Opening Day should be a holiday

By Matt Krause

A few years ago, Major League Baseball messed with tradition. Angry with the fact that the last day of its regular season, a Sunday, was being overshadowed by professional football, the league shifted the traditional “start on a Monday, end on a Sunday” model to “start on a Thursday or Friday, end on Wednesday.” Sure, we saw some great midweek drama as the season ended, but Opening Day was ruined.

Phoenix snaps out of skid with win over NC A&T

By Kyle Maher

Less than a week ago, the Elon University softball team was in the midst of a tailspin. The Phoenix had lost nine in a row and couldn’t escape the rapid free fall it had entered. But then, all of a sudden, the Phoenix stopped the bleeding and has now reeled off two straight wins, the latest a 7-3 victory over North Carolina A&T State University in a midweek nonconference game at Hunt Softball Park April 1. The Phoenix, which had scored two or fewer runs in three of its last four games, hit a groove against the Aggies, whistling line drives and long blasts all over the park. It began in the bottom of the first, as freshman designated player Emily Roper lofted a harmless fly ball to center with the bases loaded that was just deep enough for senior second baseman Lauren Oldham to score to put the Phoenix up 1-0. After holding the Aggies scoreless in the top of the second, Elon stretched its lead to 2-0 on a long home run from junior pitcher Caitlin O’Shea that clanged off the scoreboard in straightaway center. The Phoenix would strike again in the bottom of the third.

Elijah Bryant commits to Elon Men's Basketball team

By jbiegel

[youtube=www.youtube.com/watch?v=lm6TXOps7K8&noredirect=1&w=560&h=315] The Elon University men's basketball team has picked up its second commitment in the class of 2014. Elijah Bryant, a 6-foot-4-inch shooting guard of the New Hampton School in New Hampton, N.H., committed to the Phoenix on Tuesday, April 1, according to a source within the Elon Athletics department. One of Bryant's main reasons for committing was that he felt comfortable with Elon's coaching staff. The Atlanta native originally committed to Samford in the class of 2013, before attending prep school this year. He averaged 20 points and nine assists a game during his senior season. Bryant joins Jack Anton, a 6-foot-8 power forward out of Cincinnati, Ohio, who committed to Elon last August. Andrew Feather contributed to this article
