On Monday, the team was welcomed back to campus with a reception in the caf. “When we walked in here, I got chills all the way down my spine,” said Christian Chavez, a junior on the team. Since Saturday’s game, the guys have been smiling – and even singing. Good thing they weren’t going for a national championship in singing!

On a serious note, the team deserves every second of the praise their getting. Not only did they win the 19th national title in school history, but they also scored the first national crown for Lynn’s baseball program. The team went 8-0 in the NCAA South Region and National Tournament, defeating eight consecutive nationally ranked opponents and closing out the year 23-6 against teams ranked in the top-25.

The star of 'Burn Notice'... that is, the star after our own Mr. Simpson.

Potentially more exciting than that (hard to imagine as that is), one of Lynn’s own had a role in Friday’s episode of the USA Network hit ‘Burn Notice.‘ Drama department chair Adam Simpson was on the show (see full episode online) playing a boat captain and trafficker. If you’re in a hurry, you can find Adam by back tracking 17:28 from the end. Adam, you may remember, was one of the faculty members that led the January Term course that performed original works off Broadway in NYC this year.

Also on the tube on Friday was residence hall director Christina Johnson who ‘won’ SGA’s “Kiss a Pig” competition Friday afternoon. CBS 12 was there to catch Christina in the act of a six second smooch – possibly the longest six seconds in recorded history. I’m without a link at the moment but once I get it I’ll upload. We’ll definitely have it on the Lynn University Facebook page in a day or two. Check it out.
