MORGANTOWN — West Virginia true freshman Vincent Smith isn’t a normal cornerback. He's much bigger than the average corner at 6-foot-1, 215 pounds, but he's still as fast and athletic as a corner. “I talk to my teammates about it all the time,” defensive back Geimere Latimer Jr. said. “I can't believe it.

SAN FRANCISCO — As if he was back home in the Marietta College pinstripes, Turner Hill grinded out an at-bat, got a pitch he liked and drove it on a line for a base hit. Hill recorded his first major league base knock in the third inning of the Giants’ 13-7 loss to the Rockies Sunday ...
