LATE POWER SURGE NOT ENOUGH FOR PIPPINS IN LOSS
The Bells (20-16, 4-5) got started fast off Pippins' right-hander, Kade Woods (Spokane Falls), as they got a two-run home run from Chase Illig (West Virginia), their representative for the home run derby, to take a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first. In the second, they pushed across three more runs on four hits before getting another two-run home run, this time off the bat of Kody Mathews (Marshall) to knock Woods out of the game after just 2 1/3 innings of work. Kyle Nicol (Cal State Northridge) then came on in relief and allowed a few more runs before finally getting out of the frame with the Pippins trailing 9-0. In the bottom of the fourth, the Bells pushed across another run and ultimately took a 10-0 lead into the sixth inning. -- Our Sports Central

This Teen Took Candid Photos of the 70s' Biggest Rock Stars
Where were you in your life when you were taking these photographs?
I was still a kid. That first photograph of David Bowie really changed my life. Before I took the photo, a little bird in the back of my head said, "You may burn bridges, and it may be frowned upon," but I had the balls to do it. As a teenage kid, you just hold your breath and go for it. After I got that photograph into Creem, my inbox was full. From there, I finished high school, went to junior college, and transferred to Cal State Northridge. I ended up dropping out because the amount of work I was churning out was overwhelming, and I couldn't keep up. -- Vice
