Yankees wait out rain to take 2-1 Series lead

·

MIAMI -- For the longest time, this had all the makings of another heartbreaker for Mike Mussina. Down early. Hardly any run support. A rainy night. And yet somehow, the ace who could never quite win these games won Game 3 of the World Series. Mussina outpitched young ace Josh Beckett and the New York Yankees broke it open late, beating the Florida Marlins 6-1 Tuesday night for a 2-1 edge. Derek Jeter doubled and scored the go-ahead run on Hideki Matsui's single in the eighth inning, then Bernie Williams hit his record 19th postseason homer to clinch it in the ninth. By then, Mussina's work was done. Mariano Rivera finished it off in rapid fashion, closing with two innings as the Yankees won before a crowd of 65,731 that had mostly left by the final out. Now, after their second consecutive victory, the Yankees will try to take firm hold of the Series behind Roger Clemens.

EAGLE, Colo. -- Kobe Bryant must stand trial on a charge of sexually assaulting a 19-year-old resort worker, a judge ruled Monday, clearing the way for a celebrity trial the likes of which hasn't been seen since O.J. Simpson. Eagle County Judge Frederick Gannett said prosecutors presented enough evidence Bryant might have committed the crime June 30. The Los Angeles Lakers guard could face a life sentence if convicted. His next appearance, in district court, is set for Nov. 10.

Cubs fans have varied views of 'curse'

·

CHICAGO -- The ivy along the outfield wall at Wrigley Field was an uncharacteristic red during the Cubs' loss to the Florida Marlins last week. The rumors about the "Billy Goat Curse" have been flying around ever since. The Billy Goat Curse has roots back to the 1945 World Series, the last time the Cubs were in the final series of the season. The goat was not allowed in the stadium as it was in previous years for good luck. The owner of the goat that put a curse on the Cubs said they would never be in the World Series again.

Basketball is finally here

·

Madness doesn't even begin to describe the players and crowd Friday night. Only a few hours before the public was released into the gym for Midnight Madness, one could have heard a pin drop on the court. But come 12:01 a.m., Assembly Hall exploded with screaming fans. "So many people came here to support us," freshman forward Patrick Ewing Jr. said. "There's nothing like it." What really got the crowd pumped was the slam-dunk contest. Senior center George Leach, Ewing Jr., senior forward Jason Stewart, junior guard Donald Perry and freshman guard Roderick Wilmont all took their best shots at pleasing a panel of judges from the Student Athletic Board. Leach led the group of slam-dunkers with an impressive one-hand dunk, but Ewing Jr. showed him up by hanging from the basket with his arm in the net. The second time around, Leach got a little encouragement from the crowd before attempting his next couple of dunks, but was unsuccessful at making the basket.
