As noted in the article, she is married to Oakland A's and former Duke first baseman Nate Freiman. Nate told me they met during freshman orientation. So, a word to incoming freshmen. Pay attention during orientation. You never know.

A's--ChiSox. Can't watch TV when you are hitting your first MLB stand-up triple and driving in a run. :eek: Of course, De Aza fell on the play; it should have only been a double.

Amanda had a tough day today (+4 on her round) and is currently tied for 6th, but is only 5 off of the leader. The course played really hard today and their predicting the same conditions tomorrow. We watched some of the match today on the Golf Channel. They certainly talked a lot about her Duke career.

In some cases, it pays to pay attention even earlier. Shelden and Candace met on her official recruiting visit to Duke.
