One more accolade for Baseball's May in May

If there's anything that can help an athlete's chances of getting drafted after graduation, it's being named an All-American.

It was announced last Friday that Penn baseball player Chris May is a third team Louisville Slugger All-American.

Earlier this month, May was also named the 2001 Ivy League Player of the Year.

The native of Biglerville, Pa., must wait until Tuesday's MLB draft to find out if these awards caught the eye of a pro team.

Sixers say, 'Let it snow!'

Game 3 proved that the Philadelphia 76ers can't win without Allen Iverson.

And last night's game proved they can't win without Eric Snow, either.

Snow's 18 points led the Sixers -- now up 3-2 in the series -- past the Bucks, 89-88, in Game 5.

The Sixers look to close out the series in Milwaukee on Friday.
