June 1, 2025

Angel Cano hit a two-run home run and a bases-clearing double to help No. 4 seed Little Rock beat host and top-seeded LSU 10-4 to avoid elimination at the Baton Rouge Regional.

The Trojans, who lost 13 of 14 to close the regular season before winning five straight to win the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament, scored 22 runs Saturday in a win over Rhode Island and beat Dallas Baptist 8-6 in an elimination game earlier Sunday.

Scottie Scheffler joins Tiger Woods as only repeat winners at Memorial

June 1, 2025

Scottie Scheffler is the Memorial winner for the second year in a row. The world’s No. 1 player delivered another relentless performance. He shot 70 in the final round and turned a decent duel into another runaway. He wound up winning by four shots over Ben Griffin. That makes Scheffler the first back-to-back winner at Memorial since Tiger Woods. Lately his game has looked a lot more like the tournament host Jack Nicklaus. Scheffler now has won three of his last four tournaments. Rickie Fowler had his first top 10 of the year. That got him into the British Open.

Mariners slugger Cal Raleigh leads MLB in homers and is on pace to set a season record for catchers

June 1, 2025

Given the way Cal Raleigh’s season has started, perhaps the Seattle Mariners catcher is wholly deserving of those “MVP” chants. With a solo shot during Seattle’s 2-1 victory over the Minnesota Twins, Raleigh upped his total to a major league-leading 23 home runs. The 28-year-old backstop nicknamed Big Dumper became the first catcher in big league history to reach 20 homers before the end of May. Salvador Perez of the Kansas City Royals holds the major league record for home runs in a season by a catcher with 48 in 2021. Raleigh is on pace for 64 this year, which would break the American League mark of 62 set by Aaron Judge in 2022.

Yarbrough shines as Yankees avoid sweep with 7-3 win over Dodgers. Judge and Ohtani go hitless

June 1, 2025

Ryan Yarbrough limited baseball’s best offense to four hits over six innings, Ben Rice hit a tiebreaking two-run homer and the New York Yankees defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-3 to avoid getting swept for the first time this season. Yarbrough improved to 3-0 while allowing one run and striking out five against his former team. Yoshinobu Yamamoto fell to 6-4 after giving up a season-high seven hits and striking out two in 3 2/3 innings. Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani each went hitless with a combined three strikeouts. The Dodgers got homers from Tommy Edman, Andy Pages and Max Muncy.

Yarbrough’s revenge: How a World Series ring inspired his win for the Yankees over the Dodgers

June 1, 2025

Ryan Yarbrough picked up a dazzling World Series ring from his time with the Los Angeles Dodgers last season. Then he went out and beat them. The New York Yankees starter pitched one-run ball over six innings, struck out a season-high five and blanked the Dodgers’ top four hitters in a 7-3 win. The 33-year-old left-hander made 44 relief appearances between the Dodgers and Blue Jays last season. The Dodgers designated him for assignment on July 29 and the next day traded him to Toronto. So even though he wasn’t around for their World Series victory over the Yankees last fall, Yarbrough earned a ring. He signed with New York in March and is 3-0 with a 2.83 ERA this season.

Yankees injuries: Domínguez jams thumb and Weaver tweaks hamstring

June 1, 2025

Yankees outfielder Jasson Domínguez jammed his left thumb on a stolen base Sunday night and was removed from a 7-3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers. New York closer Luke Weaver wasn’t able to pitch at all because of a sore hamstring. Domínguez swiped second with a headfirst slide in the fifth inning. He came around to score on DJ LeMahieu’s one-out single, but was lifted for a pinch hitter in the sixth because “he couldn’t really swing,” manager Aaron Boone said. The 22-year-old rookie left fielder was expected to have tests Monday in New York. Boone initially planned to use Weaver in the ninth with the Yankees ahead by four runs, but the reliever felt some discomfort in his hamstring after warming up.

June 1, 2025

Maja Stark of Sweden continued the steady play she demonstrated all week to win the U.S. Women’s Open on Sunday at Erin Hills for her first major championship. Stark shot an even-par 72 to finish at 7-under 281, two strokes ahead of top-ranked Nelly Korda and Japan’s Rio Takeda. Stark earned $2.4 million in the biggest event of the women’s golf season. The 25-year-old Stark became the sixth Swede to win a women’s major, and the first since Anna Nordqvist in the 2021 Women’s British Open. The former Oklahoma State player is the first Swede to win a U.S. Women’s Open since Annika Sorenstam in 2006. Korda closed with a 71, and Takeda had a 72.

FBI says 8 injured in Colorado attack by man with makeshift flamethrower who yelled ‘Free Palestine’

June 1, 2025

The FBI says a man with a makeshift flamethrower yelled “Free Palestine” and hurled an incendiary device into a crowd that had assembled to raise attention for Israeli hostages held in Gaza. Eight people were injured in the attack Sunday in Boulder, Colorado, that the FBI says it’s investigating as an act of terrorism. The suspect was identified as 45-year-old Mohamed Sabry Soliman and officials believe he acted alone. The burst of violence at the popular Pearl Street pedestrian mall unfolded against the backdrop of a war between Israel and Hamas that has contributed to a spike in antisemitic violence in the United States.

Harvey Weinstein doesn’t plan to testify at sex crimes retrial

June 1, 2025

An attorney for Harvey Weinstein says he doesn’t plan to testify in his New York sex crimes retrial. Lawyer Arthur Aidala says trial will move on to closing arguments Tuesday without Weinstein taking the stand. The former Hollywood honcho is being retried in the New York rape and sexual assault case because the state’s highest court overturned his 2020 conviction. He denies the allegations. The 73-year-old didn’t testify at previous trials in New York and California.

Tulsa’s new Black mayor proposes $100M trust to ‘repair’ impact of 1921 Race Massacre

June 1, 2025

Tulsa’s new mayor on Sunday proposed a $100 million private trust as part of a reparations plan to give descendants of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre scholarships and housing help. The proposal is a city-backed bid to make amends for one of the worst racial attacks in U.S. history. The plan by Mayor Monroe Nichols would not provide direct cash payments to descendants or the last two centenarian survivors of the attack that killed as many as 300 Black people. Nichols is the first Black mayor of Oklahoma’s second-largest city. He made the announcement in the once-thriving Greenwood District that was destroyed by a white mob.

Rodriguez stole second and advanced to third on a throwing error by catcher Ryan Jeffers. Raleigh walloped a curveball in the seventh from Twins starter Chris Paddack, who was otherwise brilliant for eight innings. He struck out 10, walked one and limited the Mariners to four hits. Luis Castillo threw six shutout innings for Seattle, but the Twins tied it against closer Andrés Muñoz in the ninth on Harrison Bader’s sacrifice fly.

Jalen Beeks replaced Burnes and gave up an RBI single before getting the third out. Burnes is 3-2 with a 2.66 ERA in 11 starts. Arizona signed Burnes to a $210 million, six-year contract before the season.

Giants’ pitching is winning games despite the team’s offensive woes

June 1, 2025

Runs have been hard to come by lately for the San Francisco Giants. The good news is their pitching staff has made it just as difficult for opponents to score them. San Francisco ended may with a Major League-best 2.64 ERA, while going 14 straight games without scoring more than four runs. That theme continued in their series against the Miami Marlins, where they took two of three in South Florida. The Giants (33-26) reached the four-run threshold just once, in Sunday’s 4-2 win, while limiting the Marlins to just three runs over the three-game series.

Slumping Rangers slugger Adolis García was held out of Texas’ lineup for the third consecutive day, with president of baseball operations Chris Young saying the club wants the 2023 ALCS MVP to make some mechanical changes. García is hitting .155 in the last 20 games with 25 strikeouts. He is hitting .207 overall, with seven homers and a team-high 27 RBIs on a team that has struggled offensively. He ranked 14th in the majors with 122 home runs over the past four seasons.

June 1, 2025

Charlie Morton pitched effectively into the seventh inning, and the Baltimore Orioles beat Adrian Houser and the Chicago White Sox 3-2 for their first series sweep of the season. Ramón Urías had two hits and drove in a run for the last-place Orioles, who limited Chicago to five runs in the three games. Baltimore’s three-game winning streak matches its longest of the year. Mike Tauchman homered for the White Sox, who have lost six of seven and fell to 6-26 on the road. Morton gave up one unearned run and six hits over 6 2/3 innings.

Florida coach Paul Maurice has Panthers back in Cup final, fueled by his mix of laughs and hard work

June 1, 2025

Florida coach Paul Maurice keeps the day-to-day routine simple. Show up for work early and have copious amounts of coffee. Trust assistant coaches to do their jobs. Sit in on meetings when needed. Hammer home a consistent message with players. Swear a little bit sometimes, swear profusely at other times. Hey, it works. In the Stanley Cup Final for a third consecutive season with the Panthers, Maurice’s style continues to deliver results for Florida. He was 41-51 in his playoff career before coming to Florida. He is 41-21 in his playoff career with Florida.

The Knicks’ all-in moves didn’t get them all the way there. But they are getting close

June 1, 2025

The New York Knicks went further than they’d gone in 25 years, just not as far as they hoped. They signaled they were serious about making a run at the NBA title when they traded for Mikal Bridges in the summer and then Karl-Anthony Towns in a preseason blockbuster. Their all-in moves just couldn’t get them all the way there. The Knicks were eliminated by the Indiana Pacers on Saturday, leaving them without a championship since 1973. But after advancing to the Eastern Conference finals for the first time since 2000 following consecutive second-round exits, they could at least feel that they are getting closer.

Being a devout Catholic at a secular college can be challenging. Some call it a blessing.

June 1, 2025

A group of young Catholics attend Mass every weekday at noon at the Princeton University Chapel. The members of the Catholic campus ministry worship at a side altar reserved for these Masses. They see it as a sacred refuge amid a largely secular environment at the Ivy League school in New Jersey. News that the global Catholic Church would get its first U.S.-born pope was welcomed by Catholic students at Princeton and other U.S. universities. Some say they’re hopeful that Pope Leo XIV will help bring a revival for Catholicism in America.

Trump is blaming Leo and the group he used to head for encouraging him to appoint judges who are now blocking his agenda. Leo is the former longtime leader of the conservative Federalist Society, who, during Trump’s first term, helped the president transform the federal judiciary and closely advised him on his Supreme Court picks. He is widely credited as an architect of the conservative majority responsible for overturning Roe v. Wade.
