Then a funny thing happened in the second game. Quakers rookie Jim Birmingham threw seven innings of no-hit ball and the team’s leadoff hitter spanked a Shawn Haviland curveball for a three-run dinger to give Penn, which had finished 7-13 in the Ivies for two years running, the split. Haviland, the staff ace and league’s Pitcher of the Year in 2006, allowed twice as many earned runs in that game (six) as he had in all five of his Ivy starts the year before combined...

The young men were found after a massive manhunt tracked a mysterious SUV that left tracks from Cloyd?s specially purchased off-road tires. U.S. District Judge David Proctor sentenced Cloyd and Moseley to eight years and 11 months; DeBusk got seven years. The trio have been ordered...
...public had been stunned when the suspects' identities were revealed. "When you actually see who did it," said the Rev. Jim Parker, whose church was destroyed, "it's like pulling the curtain back on the Wizard of Oz." Moseley, a student at Birmingham-Southern College, had formerly participated in missions where churches were built. He had been Student Government President and Vice President of the Honor Society in high school. Cloyd was studying to be a physician?s assistant at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
