Keene SwampBats Hold Down Westerners
The Keene SwampBats left 20 runners on base, but scored three times late in a 5-2 win at the Danbury Westerners on Saturday. In the bottom of the first, the Westerners hit a single to right with a runner on first, and as the throw went to third, shortstop Austin Hawke (Wake Forest) cut it off and threw behind the runner at first to get a huge out and help Nick Timpanelli (Charleston Southern) through the frame. The SwampBats loaded the bases with one out in the second on singles from Brett House (Mississippi State) and Andrew Wiggins (Indiana), and a walk from Hawke. The next two hitters were retired to keep the game scoreless. Danbury had a runner at third and no one out in the bottom half, but Timpanelli got a strikeout, a foulout, and a flyout to get out of it. In the next inning, Danbury had a one out infield single, a walk, and then an RBI single to take a 1-0 lead.

What to Know About Yale's Pediatric Transnasal Endoscopy Program
We spoke with Dr. Alex Koral, Assistant Professor of Pediatrics (Gastroenterology), about Yale's Pediatric Transnasal Endoscopy Program. Unsedated transnasal endoscopy (TNE) is a procedure that can biopsy the gastrointestinal (GI) tract without needing sedation. During the procedure, a small endoscope, a small camera on a long tube, is placed into the nose and through the back of the mouth into the esophagus. The camera is able to visualize the esophagus and stomach, and biopsies are obtained through the endoscope. The results are similar to a traditional endoscopy, except there is no need for sedation. The patient is awake throughout the procedure and topical anesthetics are used to make the procedure more comfortable. During the procedure, the patient wears a headset and watches a show or movie to distract from the procedure. The whole procedure lasts about 10 minutes and patients can go home immediately after it is finished.
