Congratulations to former Princeton center Chris Young for shutting out the St. Louis Cardinals in game three of the 2006 NLDS this afternoon and keeping the Padres' postseason alive. Young becomes the first Princeton graduate to ever win a postseason baseball game.
C. Young (1-0) - 6.2 IP 4 H 0 ER 2 BB 9 K 0.00 ERA. 102 pitches, 63 strikes.

From Elias Sports Bureau:
• Chris Young was 6-0 in road games during the regular season and he earned a win at St. Louis on Saturday. Young is one of 49 pitchers since 1903 to go 5-0 or better on the road during a regular season, but he's the first of those 49 to follow that up with a road victory in the postseason. (1903 was the first year of postseason play in Major League Baseball.)
