sarily approve of the way James'
decision became public, he also
took exception with Cleveland
owner Dan Gilbert's reaction to
the move.
Gilbert released a sharp
tongued statement and called
James's decision - narcissistic"
and "cowardly behavior"
Later, Gilbert told The
Associated Press in a phone inter
view that he felt James quit on the
Cays during the playoffs the past
two years, and that he - has gotten
a free pass."
Those remarks weren't free.
Stern said he was fining the
Cavaliers $lOO,OOO for those
words.
He also congratulated Miami
for its free-agent approach.
"Miami did a pretty good job of
clearing out cap space and putting
together a plan." Stern said.

THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
Spikes

give up just two runs on six hits
Monday night.
'Lac Fitesser, who had been
coming out of the bullpen since
the start of the season, got his
first start as a Spike. He went
four innings, giving up four hits
and just the one run in the first
inning. He struck out four and
walked just one before Mitch
Fienemann entered in the fifth
and threw two shutout innings.
Jhonathan Ramos and
Sandobal Septimo pitched a
shutout inning each and Jason
Townsend pitched the ninth, giv
ing up one run.
State College will go for the
sweep of Vermont at noon today
when Spikes starting pitcher
Tyler Waldron takes the mound
looking for his first professional
win. Curry said if the team
brings the same energy it did
Monday night into today's game,
it should bode well for the
Spikes.
'Just like coach says, we enjoy
the win but by midnight it's a
new day" outfielder Adalberto
Santos said.
- *Tomorrow they're going to be
hungry Just like anybody who
loses you want to come back the
next day and play harder. So
we've got to be ready and play
harder than them."
