Crick ‘Day-to-Day’, Dennard Likely to Return for Wyoming Game
A Nebraska defense hoping for the return of one of their most important players now must wait and see if their best player will be available for Saturday. Jared Crick sat out practice yesterday with an undisclosed injury, and defensive coordinator Carl Pelini says his star defensive tackle is day-to-day, but he hopes he will be able to play Sunday. The news relating to cornerback Alfonzo Dennard was more encouraging. Pelini said that Dennard, who has missed the first three games with an quadriceps injury, is close to making his 2011 debut when the Huskers visit Wyoming this Saturday. Pelini also got an addition to his secondary, as wide receiver Stanley Jean-Baptiste, a sophomore, has moved to cornerback. Jean-Baptiste played safety in high school and intercepted six passes his senior season.

Rockies Lose Sixth Straight at Home
The final week-long homestand of the season was supposed to be Fan Appreciation Week for the Colorado Rockies. Forgive the fans if they’re less appreciative of bearing witness to the team’s longest losing streak of the season, which reached six last night after a 2-1 loss to the San Diego Padres. The Rockies didn’t score until Jordan Pacheco’s RBI single in the ninth inning drew them within a run, but Padres closer Heath Bell finished off the game to send the Rox to defeat. Jhoulys Chacin took the loss on the mound but pitched well, allowing two runs, one earned, in six innings. The Rockies play their last home game this afternoon, with Aaron Cook getting the start against San Diego’s Anthony Bass. ESPN Radio 1410 has the action, with pregame coverage at 1:30 and the first pitch set for 2:10.
Man imprisoned for having meth in Nebraska
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) – A sentence of nearly 22 years has been given to a man who was arrested last year in western Nebraska after more than a kilogram of methamphetamine was found in his vehicle. A news release from the office of U.S. Attorney Deborah Gilg says Pedro Camacho- Corona was sentenced on Monday to 21 years and 10 months in prison. Camacho-Corona was arrested Nov. 22, 2010, after a traffic stop along Interstate 80 in Keith County. Gilg’s office says Camacho-Corona also is known as Thomas Moreno-Martinez and Mario Ramos-Garcia. Camacho-Corona also was given 30 months for violating terms of his supervised release from a cocaine conviction under the name of Mario Ramos-Garcia in Florida. The sentence will be served at the same time as his meth sentence.
