Coming into Friday, the Huskies were one of the hottest teams in the country winning 9 of their last ten games and outscoring opponents by a total of 75 runs to 28 runs in those wins. They stayed hot Friday night by blanking the Georgetown Bulldogs with a score of 10-0 in their first of four games against them this weekend.
To start off the series, the Huskies turned to their ace, Ben Casparius, who went seven shutout innings while recording 15 strikeouts and allowing just five hits and one walk. He had all of his pitches working Friday night, including his changeup, which Coach Jim Penders said is “the best right-handed changeup that we’ve ever had in our program.”
More People Urged to Get Screened for Lung Cancer
March 9, 2021 – More long-term cigarette smokers are urged to get lung cancer screening under new guidelines released by the U.S. US Preventive Services Task Force .
The new recommendations are that anyone age 50 and older who have smoked for at least 20 years should be screened each year. The previous guidelines were for those over 55 who had 30 years smoking. This is great news because it means that nearly twice as many people are eligible to be screened, which we hope will allow clinicians to save more lives and help people remain healthy longer, said John Wong, MD, chief science officer, vice chair for clinical affairs, and chief of the Division of Clinical Decision Making at the Task Force.
