Eastern Tech scored two runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to knock off the defending Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland A conference champion, Seton Keough, 3-2, on Monday morning. The victory, coupled with a pair of losses by last week's top-ranked team, Chesapeake-Anne Arundel, propelled Eastern Tech into the top spot of the Baltimore Sun poll. Eastern Tech's Jordan Cargile pitched a complete game, allowing just one earned run on six hits with 11 strikeouts and a walk.

The quarterfinal game between No. 5 Roland Park and No. 12 Seton Keough in the Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland A Conference girls basketball playoffs was not short of heroics.

The host Reds answered when Lindsey Edwards made a baseline runner with seven seconds left to lift Roland Park to a 52-50 victory Tuesday night.

California Angels pitcher Matt Keough may be able to resume playing baseball again in three months, according to the surgeon who performed Keough's emergency craniotomy Monday afternoon.Dr. Gordon Deen, of the Scottsdale (Ariz.) Mayo Clinic, said yesterday that Keough could be working out in three to four months. This, after what he called "the most severe head injury related to baseball I've ever seen." He compared the injury to one suffered in "a high-speed auto accident."Keough, 36, who was struck in the head in the dugout by a line drive during Monday's exhibition game against the San Francisco Giants, was upgraded from serious to fair condition and was moved out of intensive care.

Top-ranked Archbishop Spalding has owned the Catholic League all season long and nothing was different yesterday in the tournament semifinals against an outclassed Seton Keough team at Randazzo Park.The Cavaliers romped past the Gators, 11-0, to move within one victory of their third consecutive tournament championship.Spalding, now 16-0 against Catholic League rivals and 23-2 overall, will meet the Institute of Notre Dame today in the championship game at 3: 45 at UMBC.Spalding pushed across eight runs in the first inning yesterday with the help of five Seton Keough errors and went on to win in a game called at the end of 4 1/2 innings because of the 10-run rule.

To say that last night's Catholic League tournament semifinal between No. 6 St. Mary's and Seton-Keough was over before it started isn't far from the truth.Actually, it was over in the first quarter, when the top-seeded Saints built a 25-2 lead. From there, they rolled to an impressive 74-43 victory at the College of Notre Dame.St. Mary's (22-3) advances to today's 4 p.m. final against the winner of last night's other semifinal. By virtue of their 13-1 regular-season league record, the Saints already have earned a spot in the Metro Classic March 1 at the Arena against City-Wide champion Walbrook.

A flawless effort was needed to capture Archbishop Spalding's third Cavalier Classic yesterday at Randazzo Park.North County had one.The No. 3 Knights enjoyed shutout wins over No. 12 Seton Keough and No. 8 Mount de Sales to earn top honors in the strong 10-team field.Each team played two games with best overall record the first tie-breaker and runs allowed the second.Three other teams -- No. 2 Northeast, No. 5 Severna Park and Institute of Notre Dame -- all went 2-0 for the day, but none could match the two shutouts North County posted.

California Angels pitcher Matt Keough was released from Scottsdale (Ariz.) Memorial Hospital yesterday and returned to his home in Orange County, Calif.Keough was struck in the head by a foul ball during an Angels-San Francisco Giants game at Scottsdale Stadium on Monday and needed emergency brain surgery to relieve pressure from a blood clot.Keough, 36, will be examined by another neurosurgeon this week, according to Angels spokesmen. Doctors recommend that Keough not attempt to play baseball for three to four months.

The Spalding Cavaliers and their No. 1 ranking in the preseason softball poll will get an immediate test this afternoon. The Cavs will open their Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland's A Conference schedule against No. 5 Seton Keough at 3: 45 at Randazzo Park. Last season, the teams split two regular-season games before Spalding had the final say with a 2-0 win in the Catholic League championship game. The same two standout pitchers from that game -- Spalding sophomore Jessica Saunders and Keough senior Kristin Dulay -- will likely be throwing today.

No. 8 St. Vincent Pallotti and No. 6 Seton Keough combined to shoot 27 percent from the field Friday, but the visiting Panthers won a defensive struggle, 39-32, because of relentless pressure and the shot-blocking of Beverly Ogunrinde. The junior altered several shots and had six blocks, including one with 1:02 remaining to preserve a 35-30 lead, and 14 rebounds. Nine players scored for Pallotti (9-7, 3-3 Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland), led by sophomore Lea Whitehead (eight points)

The 5-foot-7 senior guard played a key role in two wins last week for the No. 6 Gators, including a 60-54 upset over Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland A Conference rival St. Frances. Nicknamed "Stixz," Wilson had 24 points, eight steals and three assists in the victory. She also had 10 points, five steals and five assists, as well as providing a critical calming influence for the Gators in a physical 47-43 victory over MATHS. Wilson, who has signed to play at Howard, missed much of last season when she was sidelined with a concussion early and then returned for a few games before suffering a broken nose.

Lindsey Edwards scored a game-high 18 points as No. 12 Roland Park upset No.5 Seton Keough, 71-54, in an Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland A Conference girls basketball game Friday.

Kela Ballard put up a game-high 17 points for Arundel on Wednesday, but the inside game of No. 5 Seton Keough proved too much for the Wildcats (1-2) as the Gators (3-2) won, 59-34, in a nonconference girls basketball game. Seton Keough made three of its four 3-pointers in the first half and was ahead 32-15 at the break. Karli Zeps led Seton Keough with 15 points. No. 10 St. Vincent Pallotti 38, No. 12 Roland Park 30: The visiting Panthers (3-2) overcame a three-point halftime deficit.

As Garrison Forest fans waved posters and made sure to sit in the same bleacher seats at Goucher College they've sat in for the past two championship seasons, the No. 1 Grizzlies field hockey team took care of business on the field. Garrison Forest withstood a ferocious attack by No. 2-seeded Bryn Mawr and then pushed in goals by Bayly Jarrett and Erica Marshall to beat the Mawrtians, 2-0, and win the Interscholastic Athletic Association A Conference championship for the fifth time in six years.

There was no mystery about Seton Keough's strategy entering the Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland A Conference volleyball championship at Roland Park on Friday night. It was another night of feed the monster. The Monster - otherwise known as senior outside hitter Ijeoma Igwe - delivered, giving the No. 3 Gators their first-ever IAAM championship in volleyball with a victory over defending champion Archbishop Spalding, 27-25, 25-20, 16-25, 25-18. Igwe finished with 21 kills on the night.

By late in the third quarter yesterday at No. 1 Towson Catholic, the Seton Keough girls could feel the upset coming on. With just about every basket, the Gators celebrated with high-fives, leaps into each others arms or excited yells. The No. 4 Gators got more and more excited as they built a 10-point lead into a 72-48 victory in an Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland A Conference semifinal. Seton Keough (23-4) will meet No. 2 and three-time defending champion St. Frances in the A Conference championship tomorrow at 5 p.m. at Villa Julie College.

Seton Keough heads into Tuesday's Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland B Conference field hockey playoffs as the No. 1 seed, an unfamiliar spot, to say the least. The Gators (16-3-2 overall, 11-0 in conference) won their last championship in 1994 -- before the IAAM was formed. Seven years ago, they were at the bottom of the B Conference standings. Then along came coach Tom Jester, who initially came to the school to help coach the junior varsity in an effort to save the program his daughter was playing in. The rest, as they say, is history as Jester was drafted into the varsity head coaching position six years ago and has worked to improve the team's record every year.

The Seton Keough field hockey team is having a year to remember in the Interscholastic Athletic Association of Maryland B Conference, and one of the primary reasons is the play of goalkeeper Becca Wallace. The senior, who transferred to the school two years ago from North County, has made 76 saves this season and shut out the entire B Conference. She has allowed only five goals out of conference to top-ranked public schools and A Conference teams as the Gators have built a 16-3-2 overall record, including 11-0 in conference.
