College of Charleston's Daniel Aldrich, Clemson's Brad Miller and South Carolina's Michael Roth are among the 30 semifinalists named for the Golden Spikes Award. The three finalists will be announced Monday, with the winner to be named July 15. There is a voting component at the Web site, but I don't know what, if any, role it plays in the selection.
Four state players honored
Buddy Sosnoskie and Brian Paulhus of Francis Marion, Blake May of Anderson and Micah Robinson of Limestone were named to the American Baseball Coaches Association's Division II Gold Glove team for the Southeast Region.
State players cited
Limestone catcher Joe Maloney was named first-team NCAA Division II All-America by the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association. Benedict's Brandon Gipson was a second-team choice as designated hitter/utility player and Don Sandifer of Francis Marion received honorable mention.
USC selling single game tickets
The University of South Carolina is selling single-game tickets for its regional. Only outfield bleacher and standing room tickets are available.
Carter has glioblastoma
Former Major League and current Palm Beach Atlantic University coach Gary Carter has been diagnosed with glioblastoma, a cancer that affects the brain and central nervous system. It killed my mom in just a few months in 2001. Here's hoping there's been enough progress for a better prognosis for Carter.
NCAA on TV
The Fullerton and Gainesville regionals are scheduled to be televised on ESPNU. The Charlottesville regional is to have live video streaming at NCAA.com. It looks like the Atlanta regional will be on CSS. I'm unaware of any other video available for regionals, including Columbia and Clemson.
