Laurel Hill teen survives horrific accident Mary Katherine Murphy MMurphy@HeartlandPublications.com Staff reporter Lonnie Ellerbe never imagined that life could be altered by something as harmless as a puddle. Around 8 p.m. on Aug. 25, Ellerbe, 19, was driving to Laurel Hill where he lives with his parents, James and Anice Ellerbe. He was headed home on Highway 401 from Raeford, where he was employed at McDonald’s. Swerving to avoid two deer that suddenly darted across the road, Ellerbe’s car hydroplaned in a puddle. The vehicle careening uncontrollably off the road proved to be Ellerbe’s last memory before waking up the next morning. “I tried not to jerk the wheel and just slide to the side of the road, but it hit that puddle, it hydroplaned really bad, and I blacked out,” said Ellerbe. Ellerbe awoke to daylight and a brief state of confusion. “When I woke up it was light out, and it took me a while to realize that I had been in a car accident and that it must be the next day,” Ellerbe said. As Ellerbe assessed his situation, more unpleasant surprises awaited him. He was 25-30 yards inside a wooded area, his car having run down a hill directly into a tree. “The motor had come through the dash and my right leg was pinned in place,” said Ellerbe. “Being in a green car, I knew nobody was going to find me and that I was going to be stuck if I didn’t get out then.” Meanwhile, Ellerbe’s parents were frantic. “The whole time we didn’t know where he was, I had to just stay in faith and hope the Lord would bless my son,” said his mother, Anice. His cell phone having been thrown from the car in the crash, there were few options available to him.

Contributed photo • Teen from page 1a “I was crying for so long, thinking ‘What am I going to do?,’ Ellerbe said. “Then I was depressed, and then I just got really angry and said ‘On the count of five I’m going to do it.’ I lifted my body up with my hands and broke my femur to move it enough for me to get it out.” After making a splint with a stick and shreds of his shirt, Ellerbe began the grueling process of crawling toward the road. “It was really hot and I was getting dehydrated,” he said. “At one point there was a snake – a water moccasin – beside my leg. I knew from being outside to stay still, but I was so tired that I fell asleep.” When he reached sight of the road, Ellerbe tied a piece of his shirt to a stick and waved it until someone noticed him and came to help.

Lonnie Collins, 50, of Shannon, had worked about a year as a machinist at the Murphy Brown plant on U.S. 74 Business between Laurinburg and Maxton, accordiing to his wife, Elaine Collins. Before going to work for Murphy Brown, a livestock subsidiary of Smithfield Foods Inc., he had worked in similar positions for 18 years with Sara Lee Corp. and 15 years with Kayser-Roth Corp. “Lonnie was just a sweet man,” his wife said. “He would do anything he could to help people.” Collins said she knows little about the accident that killed gional Hospital. After two surgeries, one to insert a clamp and one to place a rod and four screws in his femur, Ellerbe returned home on Sept. 8. “I have six months to a year of physical therapy left,” said Ellerbe. “Really, I’m not supposed to be walking on it yet, but since I’m so young it’s healing super fast.” Anice attributes her son’s recovery to his fighting spirit. “When the man who found him called me, I could hear Lonnie on the phone saying ‘Oh my God, my leg’s broke,’ and I knew that if he could talk like that he was alive,” she said. When Ellerbe recovers, he plans to return to school. Prior to his accident, he attended Sandhills Community College in pursuit of an Associate’s degree in respiratory therapy. His goal is to transfer to ECU and ultimately attend medical school. “At the rate I’m going now, the doctors are going to say that I can go back to school her husband. She said all she has been told by company officials is that her husband’s leg was caught in a machine. Officials at Murphy Brown were not talking publicly about the accident, citing the ongoing state investigation. “It was a tragic accident,” said Don Butler, the company’s director of government relations and public affairs. “…I have worked with this company for 20 years and I can’t remember anything like this happening.” Collins said her husband as an avid deer hunter, loved NASCAR and was a Duke University fan when it came to college sports. “Deer hunting was his passion,” she said. “… He liked to be outdoors. He wasn’t like me, satisfied to sit inside and watch the stories on TV.” Collins said that she and her husband had just finished making plans to go to the mountains on Oct. 7 to celebrate their 11th NOW AVAILABLE 3 bedroom, 1 bath, stove and fridge, laundry facilities on site.

Ellerbe, who graduated from the Scotland High School of Health Science, credits both his academic education and wilderness skills learned from his father for his survival. “I did clinicals at Scotland, so I knew how to make a splint, and I’ve been in the woods hunting and fishing, so I wasn’t afraid of the woods.” Above all, Ellerbe suggests that the most vital action for those in seemingly impossible situations is to maintain composure. “Stay calm so you can think straight,” Ellerbe said. “After 30 minutes or an hour I calmed down enough to think ‘Where is the road? Where am I? What is in the car that can help me get out of here?’” wedding anniversary. “I was making arrangements to go to the mountains and now I’m making arrangements for a funeral,” she said.

Page 4a Opinion The Laurinburg Exchange www.LaurinburgExchange.com Saturday, October 1, 2011 Established 1882 David Perkins, Publisher Scott Witten, editor Another view Bad remedy The Mount Airy News Victims of medical negligence in North Carolina will now be limited as to how much they may win in a lawsuit against a doctor. That is a result of a law going into effect this week, a law passed by the General Assembly which seemingly strips protections from individuals at the behest of large insurance companies which write malpractice policies. The law limits “non-economic damages” to $500,000, which means no matter the level of pain, or even with the loss of a limb, organ, or sense such as sight, a person will be limited as to how much he can collect. It is important to note that victims will still be able to sue for additional money to pay medical bills, replace lost wages and other identifiable economic losses. Essentially, the new law will put doctors on the hook for actual costs and demonstrable lost income in a malpractice suit, but they will be protected from large judgements outside of those parameters. This law is bad legislation. How can a legislator sitting in Raleigh possibly understand what the effects of a loss of a limb, or a lifetime of extreme pain, can mean to an individual who might be victim of malpractice in a week, a year, or a decade? That is one of the purposes of the modern court system, to empower juries to consider cases on their merits, as presented in the courtroom. This law has taken much of that ability away, and we suspect it was simply the lobbying efforts of insurance companies and the large and widely profitable medical industry which pushed this through the General Assembly. Another view Golden no more Bladen Journal Despite a three-decade effort by the federal government to snuff out cigarette smoking, 20 percent of Americans — about 45 million — continue to light up. That percentage has remained steady for several years, and time will tell if the government’s next initiative — graphic warning labels that will appear on packages beginning late next year — will chip away further at that percentage. We are pleased that fewer Americans are smoking than in years past; it’s a nasty habit, one “We have, that can easily destroy a smoker’s health — and even drag down the health of others in the room. however, We have, however, never been comfortable never been with the government’s War on Tobacco that Bill Clinton launched during his presidency.

The next offensive, we are sure, will be on what Americans are allowed to eat. The initial salvos have been launched. Don’t invest in sugarcane. While the War on Tobacco has enhanced the nation’s collective health, it’s been a drag on the area’s economy. We don’t have a calculation of how many jobs have been lost to the strangulation off the tobacco industry, both directly and peripherally, but it’s a bunch. Much of the brick and mortar in this area was constructed with money from tobacco. and more than one fortune was made. That gives tobacco a rich legacy locally, even if it’s future is bleak. We should remember that as we move forward to a different day. Another view Is Perdue joking? Sun Journal Gov. Bev Perdue made headlines Tuesday when, speaking to the Rotary Club in Cary, she suggested suspending congressional elections two years so lawmakers in Washington can focus on economic recovery rather than the next election. The governor’s words rang out across news outlets faster than the shot heard ‘round the world. Further explanation came later in the day from the governor’s spokeswoman Chris Mackey, not the governor herself. Hyperbole, Mackey claimed, although it was hard to tell from the tone of Gov. Perdue’s voice and questionable given her call for support of the idea. We’re all for Washington politicians focusing on what government can do to improve the economy; however, giving them longer terms to do anything, even temporarily, would be a futile exercise. Drawing on experience as a guide, two more years would grant the politicians more time to, in the current vernacular, “kick the can down the road.” Election Day might be more miles away, but it would not be off the map. The governor’s idea couldn’t happen without creating a far worse problem than the current economic situation in America. Terms of U.S. representatives and senators are set out in the Constitution, so how would the next election be suspended? By presidential decree? By the Congress itself? By the judiciary? Whatever way, the idea smacks of dictatorial tactics by egomaniacal leaders. And if something so sinister could happen once in America, would it then be easier for it to happen again? Suspending the North Carolina gubernatorial election, for example? Let’s give the governor the benefit of the doubt and say she was overstating a call for Washington politicians to work together on the serious problem facing our country. Raleigh is certainly no Washington when it comes to political cooperation, but the governor is not the best role model for working with a legislature of a different political persuasion. She was, after all, the first governor in the history of the state to veto the budget passed by the General Assembly. If the governor really is serious about Washington’s role in helping the economy, there are better ways than giving politicians more time before facing voters. Gov. Perdue could use her political influence to urge Congress and the president to get out of the way of business with their controlling rules and regulations. She could make her Number 1 job doing everything possible to attract new jobs to North Carolina and making Tar Heel turf more fertile for job growth by companies already here. The good thing about elections is that they give voters an opportunity to weigh in on the job their officials are doing. Those who aren’t getting the job done don’t need more time to lollygag and overreach, they need to be replaced by those who will lead the country into better days.

Saturday, October 1, 2011 The Laurinburg Exchange www.LaurinburgExchange.com Page 5a Memorist offers advice to students Staff report “What are you doing to live your life outside the box?” Memoirist Adam Shepard posed this question to start his presentation Thursday evening in the Morris Morgan Theatre of St. Andrews University. Shepard, the author of Scratch Beginnings: Me, $25 and the Search for the American Dream, shared the origins of the journey that changed the course of his life with the audience of students, faculty, staff and community members. “My summer after my freshman year of college I came back to Raleigh and didn’t want a regular 9 to 5 job,” he said. “I passed flyers out saying I would do anything for $10 an hour.” The flyers resulted in him securing 100 hours of summer work to be performed in the mornings. This allowed him to earn money and enjoy his summer. “At the end of the summer she gave me $1,000 and a copy of the book Nickel and Dimed,” Shepard said. “I read the book that night and I said to myself, ‘this cannot be right.’ I went back the next day and told her I was going to write the rebuttal.” Shepard returned to school and completed his degree at Merrimack College. Following graduation, he pursued his dream of playing professional basketball. “My professional basketball career lasted 24 to 36 hours,” he shared. “I paid the way to go to the combine myself. I was 2 for 29 from the field, but I had no fallback plan. I was told in many languages, ‘Thank you, have a safe flight home.’ It was a grand failure in my life.” That devastation gave Shepard the motivation to act on the rebuttal to • Animal from page 1a the Christmas “crib”, or nativity scene, and founded the Franciscan order with its distinctive brown tunic. St. Francis lived from Author Adam Shepard talks with students following his presentation. Contributed photo Nickel and Dimed. “In my mind, I had planned on staying over in Europe,” Shepard recounted. “I had $100 left when I returned. I took my dad out to eat, bought the train ticket to Charleston and had around $25 left. I just went and did it. If I had waited, if I had done more planning, I would have talked myself out of it.” The plan was to go to a new city with a sleeping bag, the clothes on his back and $25. His goal was to have, after one year, $2,500, a working automobile and a furnished apartment. During the train ride, Shepard had very specific ideas about how things would go. While he expected a job within three days, by the time day 10 rolled around, he was still without a job. “I came home and was complaining to the guys at the homeless shelter,” Shepard said. “Now, a homeless guy will tell you exactly what you are thinking. Whatever is on his mind, he will tell you. And I was talking to Phil Coleman and he gave me the slap on the butt that I needed.” Shepard read a section of his book 1181–1226. “At the informal service, hymns will be sung and prayers said, and a brief meditation will be offered,” said Abernathy. “To make sure this event is a happy one for all attending, please do leash or oth- where Coleman told him, “You gotta go down to these managers and be like, ‘Look here homeboy. You need me. I’m the best worker you’re gonna find, so hire me or not.’” “Here I am, the King of the American Dream, going to show how hard work and perseverance will pay off and some stinking homeless guy gives me a piece of really sage advice,” Shepard shared. “I got the job because of the initiative that came from Phil Coleman.” Shepard summed up the life lesson simply. “You either go 0 percent or 100 percent,” he said. “It was a valuable lesson I picked up. It can be applied to your professional life, your social life and your academic life. You have the opportunity to leave here with a very valuable education. What are you doing to have your experience outside the box?” Shepard’s appearance at St. Andrews was funded by a grant from the North Carolina Independent Colleges and Universities College Access Network. The event is part of a program to help first year students succeed in college. erwise contain your animal companion. In the event of inclement weather, the service will be held in the church sanctuary.” Representatives of the Scotland County Humane Society will be present at the event, and an offering will be taken to assist in its work. Prayers of blessing will be said over each animal presented. St. David’s is located next to Covington Street School.

The games will feature athletic competitions for children and adults, Scottish music, sheep dog demonstrations, Scottish dancing, piping and drumming competitions, pipe band competitions, historical and genealogical information and Scottish food. About 45 clans, organizations and societies will be participating this year and clans will have tents set up where people can go to learn about their genealogy. The honored guest will be Iain Morris MacFie, the commander of Clan MacFie. The day will offer both individual and pipe band competition featuring 13 bands from all over the Southeast. There will also be a day-long assortment of entertainment on the music and dance stage and more than 50 solo piping and drumming competitors. More than 40 athletes will participate in the adult competition, which includes the open stone, during which participants throw a stone weighing 16 to 22 pounds; the heavy weight throw; the light weight throw; the Scottish hammer throw; the turning of the caber, during which the participant throws a tree; the sheaf toss, during which the athlete throws tosses a bundle of twine with a pitchfork; and the weight over bar. “A lot of these athletic events had their roots in Scottish farm life like the sheaf toss,” said Chandler Stewart, the treasurer of the event. “It’s like farmers in the field having to use pitchforks to spear hay and throw it.” Five of top amateur Scottish athletes in the world are competing in a single division. Two brothers from Iceland, Thor and Johann Gylfasson, John Owen, from Hendersonville, and Ted Leger from Clover, S.C. will be showcasing their abilities. “We’ve got a current world record holder who will be here,” Caudill said. “So there’s a possibility of a world record being broken in some of our athletic events.” Children can get in on the action by participating in scaled-down versions of the events if they are present and registered by 11:30 a.m. The day’s festivities continue at 7:30 p.m. with a Ceilidh and Wine Tasting at Cypress Bend Vineyards, located at 21904 Riverton Road in Wagram. There will be a $10 admission charge at door.

Even though a quick shower made its way through Pembroke, N.C., Friday night, it was the Fighting Scots’ football team that brought the thunder to “Big Mo” Stadium, outlasting Purnell Swett 42-26 in Scotland’s first Southeastern Conference clash of the season. Scotland (6-0, 1-0) battled through a late start, turnovers and untimely penalties to move to 1-0 in the league, revving up their offense in the fourth quarter to break away from the Rams in a defensive struggle. Scotland quarterback Kwashaun Quick picked up 138 yards on the ground on just 10 carries, while throwing a pair of touchdowns through the air to help the Fighting Scots earn their sixth win of the season and stay out of the loss column. Scotland’s Caison Murphy added two scores on the ground, while running mate Tony McRae picked up 120 rushing yards in the second half to break open a deadlocked contest. “First of all, you have to give a lot of credit to Purnell Swett,” Scotland head coach Chip Williams said.

The former Optimist Baseball Board Commissioner dedicated almost two decades of service to the Optimist Club, serving thousands of youths each summer on the baseball field. In just its second year, the memorial tournament drew a crowd of over 1,300 softball players, coaches and fans on Sept. 24-25. The Laurinburg Hot Sticks, Carolina Pride and Scotland Heat represented Scotland County in three different divisions at the 25-team event. Tournament director and Scotland Heat head coach Wayne Butler said the tournament was a great success and will help fund the Optimist Club’s Phillip Hayes Memorial Scholarship which provides a scholarship to a college bound student that participated in Optimist softball. “I thought the tournament went great,” Butler said. “Everyone was very supportive and we had great community support from local businesses. We not only raised money for Phillip’s memorial fund, but we also brought in a lot of people to Scotland County. I know Phillip would have been proud of the turnout.” The tournament hosted 10-and-under, 12-andunder, 14-and-under and a high school divisions. The Richmond Thunder took home top honors in the six-team 10-and-under division. The Laurinburg Hot Sticks, coached by John Ridge, finished third overall in just their second tournament. The Sumter Shockers finished first overall in the 12-and-under division, with the Carolina Pride placing third in the division. The 10-and-under team, coached by Randy McCall, placed in the top-3 of the five-team field after moving up an age division.

They threw out a couple of things that we weren’t prepared for. I think defensively we ended up fighting, despite the fact that we gave 26 points up. I thought we fought pretty well. We made some mistakes and will have to get back out on the practice field, but we’ll continue to improve. “Offensively, I didn’t think we went after them as much as we should early on,” he said. “Our offensive line was kind of sitting back. We came on as the game progressed. Winners win and we did that tonight.” Embattled in a back-and-forth struggle heading late into the fourth quarter, Scotland’s offense turned up the heat on the Rams while holding just a slim 29-26 lead with 5:19 left in the contest. McRae set the Fighting Scots up deep in Rams’ territory, crossing midfield on a 44-yard run to put Scotland at the Rams’ 25-yard line.

McRae added a late touchdown with 1:53 left in the contest to end the Rams’ comeback bid, scoring on a 12-yard scamper to push the Fighting Scots’ margin to 42-26, clinching Scotland’s first SEC victory of the season. Williams said that the win was huge for Scotland, as they start 1-0 in SEC play for the second year in a row. “Getting the win, especially on the road, was huge,” Williams said. “Everybody in our league can beat us and we can beat everybody in the league. It’s that simple. Each and every Friday night is going to be a huge challenge.” The Rams kicked off the game with a 20-yard touchdown run, taking a 7-0 lead before Murphy found the end zone on a 3-yard run for his first score of the night to tie the game at 7-7. Scotland took a 14-7 lead when Quick found tailback Travis Wall on a 40-yard touchdown pass in the center of the field. Quick evaded a pair of Rams’ defenders, placing a perfectly thrown ball over Purnell’s ple, coming back from a 1-0 deficit to top Northwood 2-1.

(AP) — Bob Melvin wasted no time making changes to his Oakland coaching staff after receiving a new three-year deal last week to stay put as manager. The Athletics said Friday they aren't renewing the contracts of bench coach Joel Skinner, pitching coach Ron Romanick and hitting coach Gerald Perry. First base coach Tye Waller and third base coach Mike Gallego will return to the staff in 2012. Bullpen coach Rick Rodriguez will be considered a candidate for his same position next year. Melvin took over for the fired Bob Geren in June and went 47-52 the rest of the way, including 35-35 after the All-Star break. The A's finished their fifth straight year without a winning record or playoff berth since being swept by the Tigers in the 2006 AL championship series. "A lot of the coaches who are here right now “A lot of the have been in this organization, and when you coaches who move up, you move up are here right based on your performance," Melvin said now have at a news conference been in this Thursday. "Once you organization, get to the big league level, a lot of it has to and when do with the manager unyou move up, fortunately. These guys are very loyal to Bob you move Geren, who was a good up based on man and a good manager. I really appreciate your perforthe job they did for me. mance.” Having said that, as a manager, you do want some of the guys you —Bob Melvin feel close to around you that get your message across and know really what you're all about." The 49-year-old Melvin, who also managed the Mariners and Arizona, plans to fill the positions in the coming weeks. It's expected he will offer Phil Garner a spot, perhaps as bench coach. Melvin coached for Milwaukee under Garner, hired as an A's adviser in August. They worked together with the Tigers, too. Garner has said he would need to run any potential job offer or decision by his wife, Carol, considering "I already told her I'd retire — twice." Oakland was his first major league club, and he would give Melvin an experienced right-hand man. Garner managed the Brewers, Detroit and Houston Astros. Garner owns a 985-1,054 career managerial record over 15 seasons. A three-time All-Star, Garner delivered the 10,000th hit in Oakland history against the California Angels on June 27, 1975. Also Friday, the A's announced they have received 22-year-old outfielder Eliezer Mesa from Colorado to complete the trade that sent Mark Ellis to the Rockies on June 30. www.LaurinburgExchange.com Page 3b SUNDAY EVENING TW 7 PM PBS 3 (33) S.C.

Opportunities easily can come from day-to-day conversations and meetings. You don’t need to go far to meet people or to network. Envisioning your goals will be instrumental in manifesting them. You are fortunate with oneon-one relating, close friendships and/ or partnerships. If you are single, date for a while before committing. Resist being influenced by what your friends think. It is what you think that counts. If you are attached, the two of you need to have some old-fashioned dating to add more fire to your relationship. You might love how bonded you become. SAGITTARIUS has much to share. The Stars Show the Kind of Day You’ll Have: 5-Dynamic; 4-Positive; 3-Average; 2-So-so; 1-Difficult ARIES (March 21-April 19) HHHH In case you are not, just pretend that you are cool with everything that is happening. Detach and see why, although you might have a lot invested in an outcome, you could be compliant with another result. Your ability to create great, fun ideas marks the moment. Tonight: Say “yes” to an unexpected offer. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) HHHHH Dealing with others can take a lot out of anyone. Your stamina is very high, as is your ability to center and hold onto an idea, especially one of your ideas. A partner might try to change your mind. Maybe listening a little wouldn’t hurt. Tonight: Go along with a suggestion. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) HHHH Listen to news and understand what is happening within a limited network of friends. Remain assured that you will break into new territory and it won’t be boring. Open up to new possibilities. Tonight: So many friends and so much fun. CANCER (June 21-July 22) HHH You are part of a situation that goes in a new direction. You have spunk. Your ability to communicate comes forth. You understand the role of being flexible with a parent. Flow with the moment. Tonight: A must appearance. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) HHHH This morning, the kid in you awakens. Whatever form it takes proves to be a delight for you and for others. Go out if you can, and choose a physical activity you love —e.g., hik- ing, walking through a favorite part of the city or whatever your preference is. Share this same passion with a loved one. Tonight: You are the party! VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) HHH It might become apparent that you need to invest some money and/or time in a domestic situation. Eventually you will have to focus on this matter, whether a partner or friend thinks otherwise. Why not now? Tonight: Close to home. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) HHHH Your ability to hold a conversation and bring others out helps seal a potential friendship. Just know that what you consider a good time, he or she might not. Honor your differences as much as your similarities. Tonight: With favorite people. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) HHH Be aware of how far you can go with this bon vivant, indulgent attitude. Everyone has limits —you included. Someone you look up to could be unusually contrary. Responsibilities must be met. Tonight: Indulging a little doesn’t have to break the bank. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) HHHHH Your energy renews your life, relationships and anyone else fortunate enough to come across your path. Your creativity emerges. Others find that going along with one or two of your ideas is a lot better than they thought. Tonight: The action surrounds you. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) HH Whether at the movies or taking a walk, your thoughts are private. You might need some time to work through an issue. Take it now. Having an irritant on the back burner only sabotages your life. Clear it out. Tonight: Vanish while you can. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) HHHH Make perfect plans in order to make this a close-to-perfect day! For you, friendship means a lot. Your activities need to involve a friend, or many friends. Keep it light and fun. A loved one could be feisty. Tonight: Just don’t be alone. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20) HHHHH Your ability to withstand pressure and handle a difficult situation comes forward. Your resourcefulness allows for a greater sense of closeness between you and someone you care very much about. Tonight: A force to be dealt with.

Wilson wanted to lead the Texas Rangers the way Cliff Lee did last postseason. It didn't work out, at least not in Game 1. Wilson gave up eight runs in five innings and Texas' powerful lineup looked meek against one of the most inexperienced pitchers in playoff history, sending the Rangers to a 9-0 loss to Tampa Bay in the opener of the AL division series Friday. Wilson was tagged for the most runs since he was a rookie in 2005, a horrible feat for a guy looking for a big contract this offseason. The left-hander gave up his first homer to a lefty batter since May 31, then his first three-run homer since May 9. He wound up allowing three multiple-run homers, after giving up only four such drives all season. "The ball was kind of squirting out, not going where I wanted it to," Wilson said. "I had some decent speed on the ball, my cutter was OK, but my location was bad." Equally jarring for Texas was its hitters getting shut down by Matt Moore, a hardthrowing rookie left-hander who'd thrown only 9 1-3 innings in the big leagues. The Rangers had only two hits over seven innings against him, both by Josh Hamilton. Only a single runner got as far as third base. The fourth through seventh hitters — Michael Young, Adrian Beltre, Mike Napoli and Nelson Cruz — went a combined 0 for 14. The biggest surprise was Napoli going 0 for 3 with two strikeouts considering he hit .383 after the All-Star break and .407 in seven games against the Rays this season. "We talked about it in our meetings that (Moore's) a little erratic. But he didn't seem that way today," Hamilton said. "It was out of character for us to not jump on the pitches we saw." The home team losing should be no surprise considering the visitors won all five postseason games when these teams met last year. Texas will try to reverse that trend in Game 2 on Saturday night, with Derek Holland facing Tampa Bay's James Shields. Wilson noted the Rangers lost Game 1 of the ALCS to the Yankees last year, but won the series. "We have always bounced back, and we will bounce back," manager Ron Washington said. "We have a five-game series here. They got the first one. I don't think it matters if they won 1-0 or 9-0. We got beat. We can take that. We'll bounce back tomorrow." In this round last year, Lee allowed only RALEIGH (AP) — Martin St. Pierre scored with 8:25 remaining to give the Columbus Blue Jackets a 3-2 win over the Carolina Hurricanes in a preseason game Friday night. Alexandre Giroux and R.J. Umberger also scored for the Blue Jackets, who finished the preseason with a 5-2-1 record. Columbus will open the regular season Oct. 7 at home against Nashville. two runs over 16 innings in two starts against the Rays, carrying the Rangers to the first playoff series win in franchise history and putting them on their way to their first World Series. He left in free agency, but Texas won a franchise-best 96 games this season and Wilson led the way with 16 victories. Still, Wilson took the mound Friday knowing he needed to be Lee-like this postseason to prove he's among the true aces in baseball. History was on his side considering the first shutout of his career came against the Rays just a few weeks ago, and he'd given up only five runs over three starts against them this season. But the runs came early and often. Tampa Bay scored three runs in the second inning, three more in the third and two in fifth. Johnny Damon got it started with a tworun homer — "I think it was the first time he's ever pulled it off me," Wilson said — then Kelly Shoppach drove in the next five runs with a pair of homers, each going more than 410 feet. "Johnny hitting that home run helped people relax," said Shoppach, who became the first hitter with three career homers against Wilson. "When any pitcher, no matter who it is, is falling behind hitters and they get a chance to get a better chance at getting a fastball to hit, you get a chance to do some damage." After Shoppach's second homer, Wilson shook his head, then swiped his red glove across the rubber, as if he was hitting a reset button. Team president Nolan Ryan watched from the front row with a steely look, his arms crossed. Wilson retired the next batter, then heard a smattering of boos as he headed to the dugout, perhaps for the last time as a member of the Rangers. He gave up seven hits, walked one and hit a batter. Two of his runs were unearned because of a throwing error by Beltre, a Gold Glove third baseman, with two out and nobody on base in his final inning. Wilson said nothing bothered him coming in, not having pitched 3½ days before, the pressure of the postseason and impending free agency or the unusual 4 p.m. game time. "It felt just like a home start," Wilson said. "I slept fine. Everything was normal. ... It just all gets back to bad location." The meltdown continues a downward trend for Wilson in the postseason. Patrick Dwyer and Jussi Jokinen had the Hurricanes' goals. Carolina (1-4-0) travels to Nashville for its final preseason game before opening the regular season against Tampa Bay. The Hurricanes have scored only six goals in their four preseason losses. Both teams used their top goalies. Steve Mason made 35 saves for the Blue Jackets, while Cam Ward had 29 for the Hurricanes.
