The CT sports editor sounds off
BASEBALL *The CT went to press before Game 4 of the World Series ended. All comments made in this section reflect this. As I expected, the World Series has been boring . unless, of course, you are a Red Sox fan. After rolling over in Game 1 and getting a dose of Curt Schilling and the Red Sox bullpen in Game 2, the Rockies appeared to show up late in game three – but the Red Sox dominated the final two innings to take a 5-run victory.

MEN’S CROSS COUNTRY The Rams placed sixth out of eight teams Friday at the CAA championship, hosted by Hofstra at Bethpage State Park. Sophomore Stephen Mutisya (Machakos, Kenya) was the top finisher for VCU, finishing 15th in the 8,000-meter race. The reigning CAA runner of the week stopped the clock at 25:23.
Huskies’ attack proves to be too much for Rams
The Rams looked to string together
consecutive conference wins for the first
time this season Saturday when they
welcomed the Northeastern Huskies to
Alltel Pavilion.
VCU was fresh off a win Friday over
defending conference champion Hofstra,
but it could not carry the momentum to
the next night as Northeastern walked away
victorious, 3-1.
