356-6031 WATER DAMAGE? Jeff Locke is now wearing a Pittsburgh Pirates uniform.

CONWAY — Jeff Locke's lifelong dream has become a reality. The 23-year-old hard-throwing left-hander has been promoted to the Major Leagues. The Pittsburgh Pirates summoned him Monday afternoon after he thought he'd made his final start of the season for the Pirates' Triple A affiliate, the Indianapolis Indians.

"I don't even know what to do, but this isn't a bad place to not to know what to do," Locke said by phone from the team hotel Tuesday. The hotel is located about 50 yards from PNC Park, the home of the Pirates, who were scheduled to host the Houston Astros Tuesday night. "It's definitely very exciting." Locke, the son of Alan and Pam Locke of Redsee LOCKE page 8
