Third time's the charm: a salute to sport's magic number

By Rob Esposito | May 17, 2006

Being the frenzied sports junkie that I am, I was staring into my television screen late Sunday night watching the White Sox/ Twins game on ESPN, even though it required me to conscientiously block out the seemingly endless stream of inane Joe Morgan comments, when something special happened: a triple play. Luis Castillo, the Twins second baseman and one of the better bunters in the league, had the poor fortune to line drive his bunt right into the glove of White Sox first baseman Paul Konerko while Nick Punto and Shannon Stewart were on first and second, respectively. Konerko caught the ball to put Castillo out, tossed it over to Tadahito Iguchi, who was covering first base for the second out, who then threw the ball to second to put Stewart out for the 2006 season's first triple play. It was the first triple play that had occurred in a little over a year.

Sailing team coasts to nationals with third-place finish

By James W. Attridge | May 17, 2006

Courtesy of Dartmouth sailing Once again the Dartmouth sailing team held its own as a New England nautical powerhouse, finishing third in the New England Dingy Championships and securing a bid to College Sailing Nationals. The New England Dingy Championship, hosted by Brown University on May 6-7, featured 18 of New England's best collegiate sailing teams fighting for only four qualifying spots. Collegiate sailing tests the brainpower and muscles of 18 two-person teams, each striving to outmaneuver opponents and cross the finish line first in a series of 20 minute-long races. Nearing the end of competition, Brown and Boston College had run away with the first two qualifying spots, but Dartmouth, Harvard, Yale and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology were in a battle for the third and fourth spots.

The men's heavyweight rowing team was swept by Syracuse Saturday in the annual Packard Cup the team hosted.

The men's club lacrosse team ended its spring season with a 2-1 record after posting wins over New England College and Holy Cross and suffering a lone loss to the University of Vermont. Dartmouth went 17-1 against the Pilgrims and defeated the Crusaders 4-2 at New England College during the last weekend of April. However, the Big Green suffered its first and last loss of the season to the University of Vermont last weekend, falling 16-4. "It wasn't necessarily because we were out-skilled or outplayed," Nathan Niparko '09 said.

Whitney Douthett '07 notched two goals and two assists in the Big Green's 9-4 thumping of BU Sunday.
