Community 4ocean Joins Research Park At Florida Atlantic University

AVDA Speaker Survives Beating, Burning to Become Anti-Domestic Abuse Advocate By: Dale King

The Research Park at Florida Atlantic University® has announced that 4ocean, a public benefit corporation founded by two Florida Atlantic University alumni in 2017, will relocate its corporate headquarters to join the Research Park at FAU. “Partnerships like this are extremely important in advancing our mission to end the ocean plastic crisis,” said Desmond Reese, director of operations at 4ocean. 4ocean’s mission is to end the ocean plastic pollution crisis through global cleanup operations and a variety of methods that help stop plastic pollution at its source. The Research Park at FAU was the ideal location for future growth and innovation because it offers an opportunity to collaborate with FAU’s faculty and students on research and development, Reese said. Initially, faculty and staff from FAU’s College of Engineering & Computer Science will work with the professionals at 4ocean on projects such as: - Developing enhanced methodologies to

track ocean clean-up volumes in real-time - Qualitative inquiry using case or phenomilogical method to study of the impact of cleaning waste from specific coastal and river outflow locations - Developing additional clean-up operation tools and increasing its efficiency at interruption, capture, and prevention ocean inflow waste in remote regions - Developing datasets and tracking models The research park is focused on supporting research and development at FAU and fostering economic diversification and development in Palm Beach and Broward counties. “The arrival of 4ocean is very exciting,” said Andrew Duffell, president of the Research Park at FAU. “It offers real-world research opportunities for both the faculty and students at FAU who can see how two of their fellow alumni are making a positive impact on our environment through entrepreneurship.”

Audrey-May Prosper still bears the scars of the domestic abuse attack that nearly took her life more than a decade ago. “The fire inside me burned brighter than the one around me,” she told a rapt audience at the 13th Annual AVDA (Aid to Victims of Domestic Abuse) “Heart of a Woman” luncheon Jan. 26 at the Royal Palm Yacht Club in Boca Raton. “The internal fire is the one we must ignite,” she said. “The fire that burns externally, we must extinguish.” A hushed audience listened to Audrey-May speak about the November 2009 incident that nearly killed her. She said her thenhusband forced her at knifepoint into their garage where he tried to rape her. “He hit me in the head with a hammer four times. He threw gasoline on me and ignited it with a candle.” Burned over 80 percent of her body, she survived the horrific violence inflicted by a man she once loved and who had fathered two of her children. She underwent 17 surgeries and nine procedures before her life took a turn back to normalcy, she said on the Dr. Phil TV show. Her ex-husband, she said, is now serving a life-plus-60-year term in prison. “In 2009, on my son’s birthday, I was in the intensive care unit, coming out of a coma,” Audrey-May told the gathering, and underscored “the good that organizations like AVDA do.” Audrey-May is now a women’s empowerment leader and speaker who has appeared on many TV shows, in newspaper stories and on other media. The annual “Heart of a Woman Luncheon” celebrates the strength, courage and determination of women, particularly survivors of domestic violence. The event raises money to support AVDA’s life-saving programs. “Proceeds from today’s event will directly benefit AVDA’s 24-hour hotline, Casa Vegso Emergency Shelter and Transitional Housing, as well as outreach services and education/prevention programs offered throughout Palm Beach County,” said Rosemary Krieger and Anne Vegso, co-chairs of this year’s luncheon. This past year, they said “AVDA responded to more than 3,000 hotline calls. Residents in our emergency shelter remained in the shelter 30 percent longer than last year in order to find alternative safe living arrangements. We served almost 300 women, men and children in our outreach

services, a 47 percent increase.” “AVDA promotes violence-free relationship,” said Rosemary, who, along with her husband, Ben, were honored by the organization for three decades of advocacy. “Rosemary Krieger has been a strong advocate for AVDA for the past 30 years,” says a statement from the AVDA Board of Directors. “She has supporter her desire to raise awareness for ADVA through successful fundraising events, service on AVDA’s Advisory Board and contributing to various event committees.” The board said she and Ben “were the first donors to our transitional housing building at AVDA’s Casa Vegso, with the naming of two rooms for them. Their generosity helped kick off the successful capital campaign to fund this building that has been providing residential services for the past 15 years.” Pam O’Brien, president and CEO of AVDA, used the occasion to announce its Life Enrichment Center will open shortly. “AVDA will be leasing 3,333 square feet and has an option to purchase the 5,567 square foot property.” She said AVDA “is asking o9ur Community of Hope to help us purchase the property and raise an endowment fund” to sustain it. O’Brien introduced Ann and John Wood who have donated $500,000 to buy the building. “We are asking the community to raise $500,000 to match this amount.” The AVDA event that included a lunch and luxury raffles wasn’t without its surprises. The presentation of the Heart of a Woman Community Service Honoree caused a bittersweet moments when Mistress of Ceremonies Liz Quirantes announced the presentation of the award to Kol, a therapy dog who has accompanied his owner, Jane Eisenberg, to many engagements. Unfortunately, she said, Kol recently passed away. Talking about his accomplishments, she said Kol has been a visitor at the AVDA shelter for a number of years. He provided solace to students at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland following the shootings on Valentine’s Day 2018 that left 17 dead. Kol has also worked at the Adolph and Rose Levis Jewish Community Center in West Boca and during mid-term and final exam weeks, providing stress relief for students at Florida Atlantic University, Lynn University and Palm Beach State College.

Palm Beach State College Professor of Music Michael MacMullen is now a member of the Florida College System Activities Association (FCSAA) Hall of Fame. MacMullen was inducted for his outstanding achievements and excellence in music and for his contributions to FCSAA during the 2020 FCSAA Winter Music Symposium at Florida Southern College. “Receiving the award this year had special meaning to me because I had come full circle,” MacMullen said. “It was 26 years ago when I first attended a symposium as an observer, and it was at Florida Southern. I finished my term as music division rep in May of 2019, so this year I got to have fun at the symposium, doing what I love best – making music.” MacMullen received the Hall of Fame award for the music division alongside his friend and colleague Alan Gerber, a music professor and chair of the Music Theatre Division of Arts and Entertainment at Valencia College. “Receiving the award alongside Alan was the icing on the cake to top off my many years of supporting this event for our students,” MacMullen said. At PBSC, MacMullen has been the Music Department chair since 2005 and the Music Cluster Chair since 2001. He has directed several musical theatre shows and has been an accompanist, choral director and professional singer in the greater Palm Beach area and beyond. After attending as an observer in 1996, MacMullen took a group of PBSC students to the symposium the

next year and has participated ever since. Through his long and distinguished service at the symposium, he has served an integral role in the coordination and success of the event. In 1998, he became coordinator of the Student Artist Competition and served in the position for six years. He began his tenure as Music Division state advisor on the FCSAA Executive Committee in 2010 and held this position for nine years, helping to shape the division into the success it is today. MacMullen studied music (voice/piano/conducting) at California State University, Fullerton, received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Theatre Performance at California State University, Long Beach, and his two master’s degrees in Choral Conducting and Performance/Music Theatre Direction at Arizona State University. He is a long standing member of the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS) and the American Choral Directors Association. He also served several years as vice president of student auditions for his local NATS chapter. MacMullen received the Hall of Fame award during the FCSAA 2020 Winter Music Symposium, which was held Jan. 30 – Feb. 1. MacMullen was one of 10 inducted to the Hall of Fame.

MBA Students Adopt Expert’s Leadership Principles for Customer Loyalty

Students in an MBA course gleaned fresh insights on business leadership when author and customer loyalty expert Sandy Rogers visited their class last month. Prior to his visit, they read core chapters of his book “Leading Loyalty: Cracking the Code to Customer Devotion.” Rogers directs consulting firm FranklinCovey’s Loyalty Practice and previously served as senior vice president for Enterprise Rent-a-Car. He spoke with students in Dr. Lawrence Burgee’s marketing management course Feb. 5. PBA Board of Trustees Chairman Timothy S. Sotos introduced Rogers to the marketing faculty and bought a copy of his book for Burgee and each of his students. Master of Business Administra-

tion student Rob Anderson said Rogers validated the instincts he’s had about best business practices for 20 years. The book centers on three loyalty principles: empathy, responsibility and generosity. “I was glad to see that other people have the same deep-rooted feelings that I do about empathy, responsibility and generosity,” Anderson said. “I was chock-full of questions for him, which he answered. It was good to hear him talk about his personal story.” Eva Bracciale said Rogers’ unconventional approach was new to her but also made a lot of sense. He and his co-authors stressed the importance of demonstrating empathy, responsibility and generosity to employees so that employees will reflect those values to customers.

“I really feel like it ties into our Christian values as well – loving others as you want to be loved, treating others as you want to be treated,” Bracciale said. Being able to ask Rogers questions was extremely helpful, she said. It gave her clarity. “That’s the first time I’ve ever read a book and been able to question the author on why he came to the conclusion that he did,” Bracciale said. Burgee said he was proud of his students for the way they took Rogers’ leadership lessons to heart. Bracciale, a senior marketing and accounting major who is taking graduatelevel courses, said she has been working to demonstrate Rogers’ leadership principles as president of PBA’s American Marketing

Association chapter. Terran Bredl, an MBA student and digital finance lead for Carrier Corporation, said he started applying Rogers’ loyalty principles in meetings so that others on his team are happy to reach out to him and take care of the customers. Anderson said if he had learned Rogers’ fundamentals decades ago, when he was starting out in business, it would have spared him from making bad decisions, and he would have added more value to his workplace. Going back to school for his master’s degree has given Anderson more respect for higher education, he said. “There’s no substitute for learning new things,” Anderson said. “This experience is empowering me.”

EDITORIAL By C. Ron Allen

Getting a Window into the South’s Lingering Shameful Past As I penned this column, I glanced a few times at the picture of me sandwiched between four Alabama State troopers – three blacks and one white – at the foot of the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma. I gently shook my head and smiled to hide the disgust I felt when I thought that just more than a half century ago, no one of my pigmentation would dare stand shoulder to shoulder with a trooper. In fact, it was 55 years ago at that same location on this same Sunday, which later became known as Bloody Sunday, protesters were assaulted with billy clubs and cattle prods and sprayed with tear gas as they marched for equal voting rights. To commemorate the sacrifices and success of scores of African Americans from around the country, I had the opportunity to join a group of Floridians at Selma’s Annual 55th Bridge Crossing Commemoration. The trip also afforded me a chance to peer through the window of

the south’s shameful racial history. In the days leading up to Sunday’s climax, we visited the Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church where Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., was pastor from 1954 to 1960 and which became a seminal moment in the civil rights movement. We also visited the National Memorial for Peace and Justice, the Legacy Museum, the National Voting Rights Museum & Institute, the Lowndes Interpretive Center and we “hung out” with the new petite 5’3-foot statute of civil rights pioneer Rosa Parks in downtown Montgomery. The statute shows Parks clutching her purse in front of her as she stood at a fountain, 30 feet from the department store where she worked, and near where she is believed to have boarded the segregated bus when she refused to give up her seat to a white man on Dec. 1, 1955. I returned home with poignant and happy memories buried in the annals of my mind: Dexter Avenue Church, the six-acre memorial to the south’s dark

side, and seeing US Rep. John crossed the bridge that shaped and transformed this small Southern city into an international symbol of black Americans’ struggle to exercise their right to vote. Interestingly, this man, who while undergoing doctor’s care for stage 4 pancreatic cancer, thought it was important to be there to implore Americans to vote in the upcoming election. Just knowing that only 55 years ago, police beat and cracked Lewis’ scull and sprayed him with tear gas on that same bridge as he led a march, and to see him back at that same spot, was inspiring. Greeting me at the National Memorial for Peace and Justice was a bronze life-size sculpture of six people in rusting shackles, including a mother with a baby in her arms. Along the walkway were 800 elongated steel columns dangling like gravestones above and bearing the names of victims who were lynched and the counties where they occurred. As I walked through this somber space for truth-telling and reflection,

memories of the Holocaust Memorial in Berlin and Washington, DC, as well as the Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg enveloped me. The hanging monuments changed from eye level to overhead, mimicking the way lynching victims were hanged. Walking along the meandering path in the grassy courtyard, I felt like the callous spectators in old photos of public lynching. My bubble busted when towards the end, I pounced upon one of the weathered columns, bearing the names J.B. Harris (11.29.1920), Roy Gaines (06.15.1923), William Simmons (06.15.1923) of Palm Beach County and Rubin Stacy (7.19. 1935) of Broward. After being immersed into this history for three days, I am not convinced that most Americans understand the pain, agony, suffering, humiliation, and the complete denial of humanity that slavery created for black people in this country. There can be no reconciliation without an acknowledgment. This is a must see for every American.

POSITIVE LIVING By Robert J. Tamasy

Is Leadership Somewhat Overrated? If you have been in the business and professional world for any length of time – even for just a few months – chances are you have asked, encouraged or even ordered to attend some form of leadership training. It might have been an hour-long meeting, a workshop, a seminar or even a conference. In any case, the intention was to prepare you for becoming a more effective leader. But does it ever occur to you that leadership – leading – is a big overrated? The reason I ask is because, unlike leadership, when was the last time you participated in training on how to follow? American business consultant Brian Kight pointed this out recently when he stated on social media, “You do not have to lead. It is not for everyone. That does not mean you cannot be an amazing contributor. Teams need every role. Leadership is

March 6 - March 12, 2020

just one. Fall in love with the role you have.” What Kight said might sound strange, but it is true. We cannot all be leaders. What would you think of an army in which everyone was a general, but no one was a soldier engaged in actual battle? Years ago I was with an organization and enjoying tremendously my job as writer and editor. My title was “director of publications,” but since I had a very small staff, much of the actual day-to-day work fell on my shoulders. And I had no problem with that. One day a top executive with the organization called me into his office and asked me, “Where do you see yourself in the future – maybe five years from now?” My answer was simple: I saw myself doing much of what I had been doing, since I was greatly enjoying my work, felt I was doing it was and found it very fulfilling. Many people

had complimented my work, and I saw no need for making any changes. It was not that I lacked ambition or aspirations for achieving new goals. It was simply that I felt no need to be directing others. Rather than delegating work to others, I much preferred rolling up my sleeves and being directly involved myself in whatever publications we had to produce at the time. As Kight said, the responsibility to lead “is not for everyone.” Many people are well-content with carrying out their respective tasks, understanding they are contributing to a greater goal. In the Scriptures, we see this modeled perfectly by Jesus Christ. He was the unquestioned leader; what He wanted was faithful, devoted followers. Here are some examples of what the Bible says about “followship”: Let the leader set the pace. In as-

www.bocaratontribune.com

sembling His team, Jesus sought people with vision – but also the willingness to follow. “”’Come, follow me,’ Jesus said, ‘and I will make you fishers of men’” (Matthew 4:19). There is a cost to following. Following even a powerful leader is not always easy. It sometimes means sacrifice, being willing to set aside one’s own ambitions for a higher goal. “Then he said to them all: ‘If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me’” Luke 9:23). The best leaders are also good followers. One of the foremost leaders of the early Church was the apostle Paul. He wielded much influence, but even at that, Paul never forgot whom he was following, who was determining the course. “Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ” 1 Corinthians 11:1).

Boca Ration Regional Hospital’s 58th Anniversary Ball On Saturday I attended the BRRH 58th Anniversary Ball at the Boca Raton Resort. A sold out crowd enjoyed an evening of entertainment with Rod Stewart, was introduced to the new Baptist Hospital partners, shared info that the hospital raised 3.5 million dollars at this event and enjoyed a fabulous dinner.

The Gift Of A Teachable Spirit My friend, Larry, was being interviewed for a position to run the operations of a large, privately held, family business. The owners said they also wanted him to mentor the CEO’s son, with the intent that the young man would one day preside over the corporation. During the interview, the executive’s son pointedly asked Larry, “Can you train me to eventually lead this organization?” Larry responded honestly, “That is up to you. If you have a teachable spirit, I can train you to run this business.” Apparently, the company ownership liked the response, because Larry got the job. The world of business is littered with the failures of men and women that had great potential – possessing the intelligence and skill sets to perform well in their jobs, yet lacking one important quality: Teachability. When someone is unwilling to learn, assuming they already know everything there is to know, or acting obstinate and refusing to receive much-needed, well-intended instruction, predictably their likelihood of success is very low. This applies to mentoring relationships as well. A mentor can only help the person he or she is mentoring if that individual is receptive to the insights and experience the mentor wishes to offer. Someone that is unwilling to learn, even if it means humbling oneself enough to be corrected as well as instructed, is poor leadership material. The Bible speaks about this often, especially in the book of Proverbs. For instance, Proverbs 9:8 says, “Do not reprove a scoffer, or he will hate you, reprove a wise man and he will love you.” Many people, for whatever reason, become “stiff-necked” when someone

attempts to teach them. Someone that is teachable, however, remains receptive to what they can learn from others, even their peers. Another passage states, “He who heeds discipline shows the way to life, but whoever ignores correction leads others astray” (Proverbs 10:17). A teachable person appreciates learning about how to improve and overcome weaknesses. Yet another verse points out a desire to learn reflects growing wisdom: “Wise men store up knowledge, but the mouth of a fool invites ruin” (Proverbs 10:15). Being teachable is a characteristic of established leaders, as well younger people striving to advance in their careers. One familiar verse describes requirements for leadership: “Now the overseer is to be above reproach, faithful to his wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach” (1 Timothy 3:2). However, a different translation of the same passage expresses it this way: “Therefore, an elder must be blameless… stable, sensible, respectable, hospitable to strangers, and teachable.” One more passage offers a similar sentiment: “Which of you is a wise and well-instructed man? Let him prove it by a right life with conduct guided by a wisely teachable spirit” (James 3:13). When looking for younger leaders in whom to invest your time, or to cultivate for future leadership, first look for those with a teachable spirit. Your investment of time and energy will prove to be far more fruitful. At the same time, we should never lose sight of the importance of remaining teachable ourselves. We are never too old, or too accomplished, to learn.

PBSC Career Centers partner with Diligent Students’ Q Union FPL to employ students Speeches Spur Conversations on Tough Topics

The Career Centers at Palm Beach State College have partnered with Florida Power & Light Company to provide part-time job opportunities for students currently enrolled in school. Through the program, students will receive paid training and earn $12 an hour to work as customer service representatives in FPL’s Customer Care Center located at the company’s Customer Service East office on Village Boulevard in West Palm Beach. FPL expects to have approximately 15 students fill the positions. Students must have at least a 3.0 grade point average and work 20-29 hours per week. “It’s a great benefit because we’re bringing new talent into the organization,’’ said FPL Senior Customer Care Manager Silvio Martinez. “They come in as customer service employees while they are students. This is an opportunity for them to learn customer service skills that are important in any field today. We’ve also had a high rate of student employees become full time after graduation.” Martinez said students can be majoring in any field, and they can continue to work so long as they are enrolled in school. He said the company offers flexible schedules for students. “The students give us their school schedule, and we work around it,” he said. “We allow time off for finals and midterms, and we really support them with their career growth. Our goal is for them to succeed in school.” Leaders at PBSC’s Career Centers said the partnership with FPL is a win-win for the company and the students with the West Palm Beach-area

Customer Care Center located between the Palm Beach Gardens and Lake Worth campuses. “FPL is one of the largest employers in Palm Beach County,” said Karen Cover, manager of the Career Center on the Lake Worth campus. “We are the largest institution of higher learning in Palm Beach County. It only made sense for us to collaborate in this way. It’s such a great opportunity for Palm Beach State College students to get access to professional experience while they are in school. If our students do a great job and if this is a great experience for them, I think we can continue to partner for years to come and grow the program.” Information sessions with the FPL management team will be held from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. on Wednesday, March 11 in room CBP in the Center for Bachelor’s Programs Room at the Lake Worth campus, and from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 12 in room BR 118 at the PBSC Palm Beach Gardens campus. Both sessions will be livestreamed to all campuses via bit. ly/FPLlivestream to give all students access to the information. Students can register for the session on Handshake, a career development platform for colleges and universities, via the Career Center website, www.palmbeachstate. edu/career. Students will have until April 6 to apply for the positions in which they will assist customers with opening and closing accounts, reporting outages and billing questions. The eight-week training starts May 12. For more information, please call 561-868-3066.

Three dedicated students called their peers to pursue higher ideals of truth, justice and beauty in eloquent, nine-minute speeches informed by scripture. The students — Jessica Lykins, Josmery Botello and Andrew Mercantini — were Q Union fellows, participants in the college chapter of Q Ideas. The Nashville-based nonprofit inspires young people nationwide to “recover a vision to renew and restore their culture” by wrestling with difficult topics. Communication Professor Dr. Stephanie Bennett and Assistant Dean of Students Kate Magro selected the fellows from among a gifted group of applicants. Bennett serves as the students’ speech coach. Their peers, parents and faculty and staff packed the Weyenberg Center to hear their speeches last week. Lykins, a senior communication major, began her talk, “In the Spirit of Veracity,” with the memory of the first time she told a lie. She was in elementary school, and she told a friend that she had a wristwatch that allowed her to talk directly with the president. Veracity is truth-telling — being careful to share only what we know is true for the sake of others, Lykins said. Ephesians 4:25 gives Christians an especially high calling to speak and write the truth in a way that points people to Christ. In the age of media consolidation, misinformation spreads farther faster, Lykins said. People’s first inclination is to look to the government to solve the problem. But it’s impossible for the government to enforce truth-telling without infringing on the right to speak freely. Individuals have a communal responsibility to the truth. They are the solution, Lykins said. “It is easy to fall into the trap of dishonesty and incivility,” Lykins said. “How do we expect to solve problems if we cannot have conversations about them?” In her talk, “The Outside that Dreams,” Botello shared statistics and the story of how her mother came to the United States from the Dominican Republic to illustrate the dysfunction of

www.bocaratontribune.com

the U.S. immigration system. Botello’s mother was 12 years old when Botello’s grandfather submitted a visa application. Fifteen years, two children and a massage therapist license later, she got the phone call that she was approved. The federal government provides billions of dollars for enforcement but only millions for the immigration court system, resulting in a backlog of deportation cases, Botello said. Immigrants are less likely than native-born residents to be incarcerated and more likely to start their own companies. Botello, a junior psychology major, said she is the product of a woman who came to this country with a dream that her children would be able to build the lives they deserved. Galatians 5:13 frees Christians to love others, rather than being self-serving, she said. “Immigrants are humans created in the image of God,” Botello said. “It is our job to respond to these issues with justice, truth and love.” In his talk “Beauty as Being,” Mercantini made the case that there is no justice without beauty. “The goodness we pursue, the justice we want to enact depends on an image that is harmonious, ordered and beautiful in itself because God has made it so,” said Mercantini, a junior studying philosophy, politics and economics. Humans have tried to make beauty into something that we confer based on our own value judgments, defying the idea that “beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” Beholding something means receiving it for what it is, not judging or evaluating it. Beauty is “the catalyst of love, the very essence of our faith, which drives us toward God,” Mercantini said. When we contemplate God, it spurs us to love others abundantly because we see people as they are. In turn, because we see them as they are, we encounter the beautiful more and more. “This new sight within us contemplates God all the more, and we’re moved to love anew again and again,” Mercantini said.

FAU and tied for 17th individually with a 1-over-par 217. It was a season-best performance for Zagerman, whose score has improved every tournament this Spring season (from 224 to 222 to 217).

PBA answered with an 8-0 run to cut the lead to two, but NSU pulled away for good after a 19-6 run gave the hosts an 89-72 lead.

The Palm Beach Atlantic men’s basketball team faced No. 20 Nova Southeastern in the Sunshine State Conference semifinals on Thursday night. PBA (21-9, 13-7 SSC) hung around with the Sharks for the majority of the game, but ultimately succumbed to injuries and the sharpshooting from NSU (23-5, 16-6 SSC) in the second half, resulting in a 93-78 win for the Sharks. The hosts shot 53 percent from 3-point range in the second half which put the game out of reach. Dan Largey led the Sailfish with 25 points with four 3-pointers and three rebounds. Darhius Nunn stuffed the stat sheet with 20 points, eight rebounds and five assists. De’Ondre Jackson and Jules Jasmin finished with nine points each. Jasmin had six rebounds while Jackson had five rebounds. PBA shot the ball well out of the gates with 3-pointers from Nunn, Jackson and Largey giving the ‘Fish a quick 16-7 lead. Largey had his first 14 points through the first 11 minutes of action. PBA led for most of the first half, but NSU began to make its run towards the end of the period.

Dominant Pitching Puts Sailfish On Top In Game One of Rollins College Tournament Palm Beach Atlantic baseball got the win against Eckerd College on Thursday night in game one of the Rollins College Tournament. The Sailfish (7-7) used a couple of stout-hearted performances on the hill to defeat the Tritons (6-9) by the score of 2-0. Seniors Matt Leslie and Brad VanAsdlen twirled a gem for the Sailfish tonight combining to only give up four hit, all of which were singles, and no runs. Leslie’s performance earned him the win to put his record at 1-0 on the season. Leslie tossed five innings of shutout baseball while only giving up two hits. VanAsdlen came in to start the sixth and went 3.2 innings in relief giving up only two hits of his own. The lone runs of the game came in the top of the first inning. With one out, Sean Houck singled to left field. The

next batter was Brandon Seltzer who hit his fourth home run of the season. The two-run blast put the Sailfish up 2-0 and would end up being the only runs PBA would need in the contest. With the Tritons threatening with two outs in the bottom of the ninth, Brandon Smith came in for the Sailfish and closed the door with a strikeout to end the game and give the ‘Fish a 2-0 win. Houck had two hits in the contest and scored a run. Seltzer, Louis Zayas, and Ramon Machado all had hits in the game as well. The Sailfish will continue the Rollins College Tournament on Friday, March 6 against host team Rollins College at 3 p.m. in Winter Park.
