Godwin Makes 5 Heels in "The Show"

The Washington Nationals have called up former Tar Heel Tyrell Godwin. Godwin played for the Heels from 1998-2000 and was the New York Yankees first round pick coming out of high school, but Godwin, a two sport star, chose to come to North Carolina to play baseball and football. I attended a game in 1998 against Stanford where I saw Tyrell return a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown. Tyrell is known for his speed, but has had some knee problems which have brought up questions whether or not, one of the once top baseball prospects, would ever make it to the league. Unfortunately Godwin struck out in his only at bat tonight against the St. Louis Cardinals Lets hope this former Tar Heel makes a splash at the Major League level and can stay a while.

Some more good news is that Russ Adams is starting to find his rythm and has now hit in 4 straight games. Russ had two hits and 4 RBIs last night in a game against the Boston Red Sox. Russ' recent hitting streak has raised his average 23 points to .252.

Both BJ Surhoff and Brian Roberts got one hit in their game against the Detroit Tigers tonight, but it wasn't enough to help the Orioles add to their lead in the east. Brian hurt his knee earlier in the week, but he seems to be okay so all of you that picked up Roberts in their fantasy league can breath easier.

Kyle Snyder has been on the DL since May 10 with a shoulder injury. Prior to his injury, Kyle had pitched in 6 games for the Kansas City Royals accumulating a 4.15 ERA in 13 innings of work.

If you are interested in seeing any baseball games or even if you can't make it, I found this site, StubHub.com and you can buy and sell tickets there, kind of like ebay, but you don't have to worry about fraud. Check it out, I think StubHub is a great site--I live in San Francisco and although I am not a San Francisco Giants fan, I get tickets through StubHub up until game time and the prices get really cheap at that point. They are located here in San Francisco so I don't know if your city would have the same type of option, but check out StubHub.
