The struggles of George Washington University's baseball team continued on Wednesday, dropping a 9-6 decision to Maryland out of the Big 10. Neither Brett Young nor Anthony Germinerio played in the game. Young found himself back on the bench after a 0-4 over the weekend as his struggles continue.

CBA graduate Jordan King may be looking to return to Siena, this time as a graduate transfer.

King, who's spent the last two seasons at East Tennessee State, is looking to return home to finish his college eligibility, according to the Albany Times-Union. He'll likely need a waiver from the NCAA to make the move as a graduate transfer, but it's all but assured he'll have a happy homecoming this winter.

Sad news to report from the boxing world in relation to the 518.

Dave "Ziggy" Zyglewicz, who once fought the legendary Joe Frazier for the world title, passed away Sunday at 79, one day before his hometown of Watervliet was to rename a street in his honor.

After hanging up the gloves, Zyglewicz remained a fixture in Watervliet, where he owned a tavern, Ziggy's Corner. In recent times, Zyglewicz had suffered from stomach cancer & dementia.

Rest in peace.
