Baltimore County fire officials say one of four people who suffered carbon monoxide poisoning in a Fullerton apartment complex more than a week ago has died. Two women, a man and an 11-month-old girl were hospitalized on Dec. 18 after the carbon monoxide leak on Twincrest Court. Fire officials say one of the women died Saturday. Investigators haven't determined the case of the leak. Last week, the Baltimore County Council passed a law that requires all rental units heated by fuel burning equipment to have carbon monoxide detectors.

Emergency units were dispatched at 3:25 a.m. and arrived at the church in the 8400 block of Bel Air Road about 3:30 a.m. to find the building in flames, said Lt. Julia Dillard, a county fire spokeswoman.

Congrats to the Orioles on a terrific season, and boos to the Red Sox, who got a chance to pay us back for losing to us last year ("The suspense comes down to the final day," Oct. 3). Unlike the O's, the Sox couldn't find the pride to field the best team they could. I've seen Little Leaguers play with more heart then the Sox. We gave them the Bambino and this is how they repay us?

Nice lawns and brick and stone houses line the streets of Fullerton, a community just beyond Baltimore's northeast boundaries where the Beltway meets Belair Road. Near more expensive communities such as Perry Hall and White Marsh, Fullerton has remained a lower-priced alternative for those looking to live in the area, real estate agents say. Many of the homes are older and smaller than the suburban castles being constructed today. "The prices there are still good; they're not out of reach yet," said Margaret Franklin, a real estate agent with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage.

OMAHA, Neb. - Cal State Fullerton leaned on catcher Kurt Suzuki and pitcher Jason Windsor when times were tough, and there were many such occasions during this college baseball season. Naturally the Titans would need their two standouts in the most critical moments of Game 2 in the College World Series championship finals against top-ranked Texas yesterday. Suzuki got the winning hit in a decisive three-run rally in the seventh inning, and Windsor threw a complete game to give Fullerton a 3-2 victory for its fourth and perhaps most improbable NCAA championship.
