...Mains, the squad's leading hitter with a .368 average, is also the number one hurler with 4 wins against one setback. He has come a long way since the opening game with Wentworth, which he blew because of lack of control in throwing to the plate and the bases...

Officials had earlier in the week identified a Tunisian man, Sarhane Ben Abdelmajid Fakhet, as "leader and coordinator" of the train blasts that killed 191, and they had a warrant for his arrest as well as the arrests of five Moroccan accomplices. It wasn't immediately clear whether Fakhet was linked...
