Elon completes three game sweep of UNCG

By Andrew Wilson

On Friday, March 15, the Elon University baseball team sat 2-4 in Southern Conference play; a far cry from where they thought they would sit after a pair of conference series. For the first time since winning the opening game against the College of Charleston on March 8, Elon is over .500 in conference after completing the weekend sweep on the road at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro. In game one of Friday, March 15, Greensboro jumped on Elon starter Dylan Clark with four runs in the first two innings highlighted by back-to-back doubles by sophomore designated hitter Ray Crawford and senior center fielder Zach Leach. Between Greensboro’s four run outburst in the first two innings, junior catcher Ryan Kinsella launched his second home run in as many games over the left field fence to bring his season total to six. The two teams went scoreless through the third to the fifth inning and Greensboro starter Max Povse was sailing through five before the Elon bats erupted in the top of the sixth. Kinsella led off the inning with a double to left center and was brought home on sophomore second baseman Wil Leathers’ double down the left field line. After Danny Lynch walked, Povse was lifted for junior reliever Dylan Hathcock.

By Jordan Spritzer

The marathon that is the Major League Baseball season is about to begin, with spring training camps opening up across Florida and Arizona.  This is no different from every other season.  However, what is different this season is the installment of year-round inter-league play.  With the Houston Astros switching leagues, there are now 15 teams in each league, thus creating the need for an inter-league matchup to occur at all times.  Since its inception in 2007, inter-league play normally occurred over the course of a two-week period in June or July.  Now, it will occur from April to September.

Elon University associate chaplain Rev. Julie Tonnesen said loss and grief are universal emotions, but found that they can be difficult for faculty and staff to process while continuing their usual routines. “Even when we show up to work, that doesn’t mean that we get to put the rest of our lives on the back burner,” Tonnesen said. “Our grief comes with us. It’s not something we can just keep on a shelf at home.” In collaboration with Counseling Services, the Truitt Center for Religious and Spiritual Life, began offering a monthly group for faculty and staff to support those affected by loss.

45 años después de los primeros casos de VIH/SIDA reportados en Estados Unidos, la lucha contra esta enfermedad está lejos de terminar, especialmente en el sur del país. Según los datos más recientes de los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades, el sur representó el 52% de todos los diagnósticos de VIH en Estados Unidos en 2023. "Sabemos que el VIH/SIDA ha afectado de manera desproporcionada a las personas de color y a las personas LGBTQ+ de color en este país", afirmó Jeff Bennett, profesor de estudios de comunicación en la Universidad de Vanderbilt. "Hay muchas personas que viven en zonas rurales, existe desconfianza hacia los profesionales de la salud y persiste el estigma social".
