Chris Young was surprisingly wild against the Dodgers last night and lasted just two innings. Young faced five batters in the third but retired none of them. The Padres lost 9-3.
C. Young (1-1) - 2.0 IP 7 H 5 ER 5 BB 2 K 4.30 ERA. 84 pitches, 47 strikes.
"I was terrible," Young said, flatly. "I never found my rhythm, never found my groove. Sometimes you can figure it out and find it. I couldn't make the adjustment. I dug us in too deep."

Sorry for the tease.

The win turned out to be bittersweet, as Carril announced his retirement in the locker room.
"It was kind of chaotic," remembers Lewullis. "We get back to the locker room and everyone is high on life. Carril comes in, doesn't say a word, just goes to the chalkboard and writes down: 'I'm retiring.' It was dead silent. We didn't know what to do so we just started clapping for him."

In recruiting news, there's a tiny update on the Jeff Peterson saga and news that Bobby Foley will be playing on the North squad in this Saturday's North/South All-Star game.
�[Peterson] wants to meet with coach Lickliter before making his decision, but Iowa�s definitely still in the picture,� Jones said. �He likes the Iowa campus, players and the AD. He likes Saint Louis because he�s from, Springfield (Mo.), and he�s got the academic thing going for him at Princeton, so he can�t go wrong whichever school he chooses.�

On the heels of yesterday's news about Jeff Peterson comes word early this morning from longislandbasketball.com that a 6'5" senior guard/forward from Roslyn, NY named Jason Liberman has "made a verbal commitment" to Princeton.
Liberman was the leading scorer for Nassau County in the Long Island All-Star Game.
Says Pro Hoops, Inc...
"Jason Liberman AKA 'Baby Wally' is one of the best shooters in NY. He has added some size and a confident handle to his arsenall (sic). Jason took his game to another level this summer. We are expecting his name to blow up after some big performances during his High School season."
Newsday also called Liberman "versatile" in passing.
That's about all we've got.
