Repeat births can be prevented

 

Although teen births have fallen over the past 20 years, nearly one in five teen births is a repeat birth, according to aVital Signs report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. More than 365,000 teens, ages 15-19 years, gave birth in 2010, and almost 67,000 (18.3 percent) of those were repeat births. A repeat birth is a second (or more) pregnancy resulting in a live birth before the age of 20.

Chester, Pa … Freshman Evan Edelman (Hillsborough, NJ/Hillsborough) and a trio of rookie batsmen led The College of New Jersey baseball team to a 12-4 victory over Widener University in Chester, Pa.

Edelman (1-0) pitched eight innings, scattered seven hits, and struck out four to capture his first collegiate decision. Freshman Pat Roberts (Hillsborough, NJ/Hillsborough) belted his first career home run and rookies Mark Mari (Bayonne, NJ/Seton Hall Prep) and Garen Turner (Hainesport, NJ/Rancocas Valley) each contributed three hits to the help the Lions (9-9) to their third straight triumph.

The Lions jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the second when junior Justin Ely (Bordentown, NJ/Bordentown) stroked an RBI-double to score sophomore Anthony Cocuzza (Absecon, NJ/St. Augustine Prep). Mari delivered a two-out single up the middle to plate Ely with the second run of the game.

The Pride (9-12) evened the score in the third. A two-double by Alex O’Dell drove in Sam Christie and Marc Moyalis followed with a run-scoring single to tie the game 2-2.

Senior Scott Kelly (West Windsor, NJ/West Windsor-North) put TCNJ back on top in the fourth with an RBI-single to center to score Mari, who was on base after his second hit of the game. In the fifth, they increased the lead to 4-2 when Roberts turned on a pitch and knocked it over the right field fence for his first round-tripper of the season.

Widener tied the score once again in the bottom of the sixth, but the Lions came back with a four-spot in the sixth. A sacrifice fly by Roberts put TCNJ back in front before the Pride defense buckled to enable three more runs to cross the plate. Patience at the plate also assisted the Lions as they took advantage of ten bases on balls by the Widener staff.

Edelman remained steady, retiring nine of the last ten hitters he faced. His control was critical as issued just on free pass in eight frames.

Four more runs by the Lion offense in the ninth put the game out of reach. Mari drove in a run with his third hit of the game and junior Joe Dispoto (Nutley, NJ/Nutley) knocked in two with a single up the middle. TCNJ finished with 11 hits in the game, five of which came from the leadoff batter in the inning.

Freshman William Worswick (Mountainside, NJ/Governor Livingston) pitched a scoreless ninth, retiring the side in order. He struck out the final batter of the game.

TCNJ continues conference play this Thursday when they open a home-and-home series at Rutgers-Newark at 3:30 p.m. The Lions host the Scarlet Raiders on Friday in George Ackerman Park at 3:30 p.m.

Rutgers athletics director Tim Pernetti said he spent \”hundreds of hours\” talking to those involved in the program to determine what happened.

He said the punishment levied in December was appropriate because it was Rice\’s \”first offense.\” Pernetti defended his decision to keep Rice as his basketball coach, and he did not give any indication Tuesday that he might reconsider that.

\”Honestly, we\’ve dealt with this issue,\” Pernetti told local reporters on Tuesday after allowing them to watch the clips before ESPN aired the video. \”When I became aware of this in November, within 24 hours we had the investigation underway. Now I became aware of it in a meeting. I took the DVD with me. I met with Mike later in the day. We started the investigation. Within that two-week period we made the determination on what we were going to do. I would tell you that all options were on the table at that time.
