Red All Over: The Sun Devil Curse continues to plague Utah this year - Salt Lake Tribune

Red All Over is a weekly newsletter covering University of Utah athletics. Subscribe here.

Utah’s softball team scored in every inning Sunday at Arizona State, taking a 17-9 lead into the bottom of the seventh inning.

Then the Utes lost, 18-17.

The Sun Devils’ comeback occurred on the campus where the ASU women’s basketball team scored the last 20 points of a February game against Utah, winning by two.

What are the odds of that combination of events happening?

With an NCAA skiing championship, a Pac-12 South football title and some great individual performances, it has been a memorable school year in Utah athletics. But the Sun Devil Curse is part of the Utes’ story of 2018-19. The twist is the Utah men’s basketball team staged a rally from 17 points behind to win at ASU in January.

These are good ASU teams; the Sun Devils are playing in the women’s basketball Sweet 16 and the softball team is ranked No. 13. But those two defeats remain stunning.

Utah led 17-10 with two outs in the seventh, after Ally Dickman had gone 4 for 6 with five RBIs to lead the Ute offense. ASU’s three-run homer made it 17-13. Then came a hit batter, a walk (after a pitching change), a run-scoring double, an intentional walk to load the bases, a walk and a three-run triple.

The Utes are 13-18, 2-4 in the Pac-12. They will host No. 2 Oklahoma on Saturday (2 p.m.) and Sunday (noon) at Dumke Family Softball Stadium.

-The Ute men’s basketball program hosted a prime recruiting target this week. Tajzmel Sherman, a 6-foot-4 guard from Collin College in Texas, would help fill the scoring vacancies left by Sedrick Barefield and Parker Van Dyke. Sherman told ESPN 700 he will make his decision shortly after his mid April visit to West Virginia.

-Utah’s baseball team got to play only one game of its home-opening series vs. Niagara two weeks ago, so the Utes (7-12, 1-5 Pac-12) are hoping for better weather this weekend as they host Oregon at Smith’s Ballpark. The games are scheduled at 6 p.m. Friday, 4 p.m. Saturday and 1 p.m. Sunday.

Senior outfielder Erick Migueles is among the team's success stories, batting .329 with 19 RBIs in 19 games.

Migueles started his college career at New Mexico, then transferred to Pima Community College in his home town of Tucson, Ariz., before coming to Utah. He hit .261 for the Utes last season and is thankful for the junior college experience that rerouted his career.

“It shows you a lot of things about yourself, and how you have to work for everything,” he said. “It's underrated. If you put your pride aside, it's all the same. It's all baseball.”

-The Ute volleyball team will be well represented in international competition this spring and summer. Returning players Saige Ka’aha’aina-Torres, Dani Drews and Kenzie Koerber will play for a USA National Collegiate Team in Japan, May 19-30. And coach Beth Launiere will be an assistant for another USA team that plays in the University World Games, June 30-July 13 in Italy.

Preventing, controlling spread of animal diseases focus of forum at Penn State - Pennsylvania State University

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — An outbreak of the highly pathogenic avian influenza virus in poultry in 2014-15 resulted in the destruction of more than 50 million chickens and turkeys in the U.S., causing billions of dollars in economic loss. This animal disease outbreak — the worst in U.S. history — is one example of how devastating a foreign animal disease can be to animal agriculture and the country's economy. The resurgence of avian influenza in multiple states, including Pennsylvania, is once again bringing the importance of preventing animal diseases to the forefront, noted Suresh Kuchipudi, clinical professor of microbiology in Penn State's College of Agricultural Sciences. Exploring the emergence, spread and control of animal infectious diseases such as avian influenza was the focus of the inaugural Emerging Animal Infectious Disease Conference held Nov. 29-Dec.1, 2021, at Penn State. It was hosted by the College of Agricultural Sciences, the Pennsylvania Department of A

dented can botulism :: Article Creator Three Canadians Sickened In France's Botulism Outbreak Are From Quebec: PHAC The Public Health Agency of Canada has confirmed that the three Canadians who fell ill in a botulism outbreak in France are from Quebec. They're among at least 12 people who have suspected botulism after eating sardines prepared and served at Tchin Tchin Wine Bar in Bordeaux, France. The food was eaten between Sept. 4 and Sept. 10. The Associated Press has reported that some patients have been released from hospital, but most of them are in intensive care or critical condition. Canada's public health agency says it cannot divulge the condition of the patients from Quebec because it is considered private health information. Other tourists from the U.S., Ireland, Germany and Spain were among those sickened. One patient, who was not from Canada, has died. France's public health agency is leading the investigation
