UCI swept in Hawaii

* VOLLEYBALL: In the opener of a two-match Mountain Pacific Sports

Federation series, host Hawaii dropped UC Irvine, 30-27, 30-17,

30-24, Friday night in front of 4,699 fans at Stan Sheriff Center in

Pedro Azenha’s 25 kills. The 10th-ranked Anteaters (11-17, 5-14) were led by B.J. Fell’s 13 kills.

Brady still playing

* BASEBALL: Tyler Brady, who was featured in the Daily Pilot June

17, 2001, continues to provide inspiration as a center fielder for

the Mater Dei High freshmen baseball team.

Brady was born with half of his left arm, yet excels in baseball.

He plans to compete throughout his high school years with the

Monarchs. His father, Steve, graduated from Mater Dei 1980 and was on

the Monarchs’ baseball team that won the CIF major division

championship that same year.

The Bradys live on Balboa Island.

Tyler Brady was an All-Star first baseman for the Newport Beach

Little League while playing for the Cardinals as a 12-year-old. He

was known for stretching to grab errant throws to first base for

putouts.

In the outfield, Brady can catch the ball with his right glove.

He then quickly takes off his glove, cupping it on the left arm.

His right hand takes the ball from his glove and he’s able to make

the throw.
