Rice rallies in its College World Series opener

 

Rice pitcher Eddie Degerman lost a 2-0 lead and a no-hitter in the seventh inning as Georgia scored four runs at Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, NE, but the Owls responded with four runs in the bottom of the frame and took a 6-4 win over the Bulldogs.

Bryce Cox (5-1) got the win in relief as Rice improved to 56-11. Joe Savery's 2-run single restored the Owls' lead. Savery was 3-for-3.

Rice will face the Miami-Oregon State winner on Monday.


Houston's Lincoln gets 2006 Howser Trophy

The most productive two-way player in Division I this season, Houston junior All-American Brad Lincoln has been presented the 20th annual Dick Howser Trophy as the college baseball player of the year.

Lincoln is a consensus first team All-American who has earned first-team honors as both a pitcher and a utility player. He compiled a sparkling 12-2 record with a 1.69 ERA and struck out 152 batters in 127.2 innings of work. Those numbers were even better in Conference USA games, as he assembled a 7-0 record in the league with a 1.28 ERA.

Lincoln's 2006 strikeout total ranked as the third-best mark in both Houston and C-USA single-season history and moved him into third place on UH's career chart with 293.

He was named the C-USA pitcher of the week four times during the regular season and was honored as the national pitcher of the week after tossing a five-hit shutout with 9 strikeouts in Houston's series opener at No. 1 Rice on May 12.

Lincoln also was one of the Cougars' leading hitters all season, compiling a .295 batting average with 14 home runs and a team-leading 53 runs batted in. Among his highlights was a three-run walk-off homer in the bottom of the 10th inning to lead the Cougars to an 11-10 win over Texas-San Antonio in the season opener Feb. 7.


C-USA's top scorer backs away from NBA draft

Conference USA leading scorer Morris Almond of Rice has announced that he has withdrawn his name from the 2006 NBA draft.

This past season, Almond, a 6-foot-6 rising senior, averaged 21.9 points per game. In 14 C-USA games, Almond set a league record with a 25.1 points per game average. He also shared team rebounding honors with J.R. Harrison, averaging 5.8 rebounds a game, 10th-best in C-USA.

Almond was named to the All-C-USA first team and was selected to all-region teams by the NABC and the USBWA. Heading into his senior season, Almond has 981 career points.
