Heading into Thursday’s Game 6 of the Western Conference finals against the host San Antonio Spurs, McCain’s role has grown into a crucial one thanks in part to injuries to Jalen Williams and Ajay Mitchell that have led to an increase in playing time. “I think he’s a special human being,” Thunder big man Isaiah Hartenstein said of McCain. “I think just in general, no one will change the way he is. I’ve never seen someone so happy every single day.” McCain, 22, was certainly plenty happy Tuesday, when he made his first career playoff start — and just his 12th NBA start overall — and scored 20 points on 7-of-19 shooting in Oklahoma City’s 127-114 win to take a 3-2 lead in the series. McCain has averaged 18.7 points per game in the Thunder’s wins in the series, regularly making use of the mid-range jumper. “It’s what the NBA is about now,” Oklahoma City star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander said. “It’s spread out basketball, everybody that’s on the court has to be able to make a play, like it’s very position-less offensively and defensively. The better you are at guarding both positions, the more you play; the better you’re doing multiple things on offense, the more you play. It’s just how it is.” The Spurs got physical with McCain late in Game 5, including on a hard foul by Mason Plumlee with less than two minutes remaining. That foul was upgraded to a Flagrant 1 foul Wednesday after league review. After Tuesday’s loss, San Antonio coach Mitch Johnson said the Spurs needed more out of Victor Wembanyama. Wembanyama averaged more than 20 rebounds per game over the first two games of the series but has averaged just 6.0 rebounds over the last three. He scored 20 points in Game 5 but was just 4 of 15 from the floor. “I don’t think we screened well,” Spurs point guard De’Aaron Fox said. “And that’s for us screening for him and vice versa. … We have to be able to screen better for each other and then play with pace.” Fox said the formula for Game 6 was simple. “We’ve got to play like the more desperate team,” Fox said. During last season’s run to the NBA Championship, the Thunder twice faced elimination, beating Denver and Indiana in Game 7s. ===== NBA WARNS VICTOR WEMBANYAMA FOR MEDIA RULES VIOLATION San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama has been warned by the NBA for violating media access rules by not speaking to reporters after Game 5, the league told ESPN on Wednesday. The Spurs lost 127-114 to the host Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday night and now trail 3-2 in the best-of-seven Western Conference finals. A team spokesman said after the game that Wembanyama would not be available to media. The 22-year-old center scored 20 points in 38 minutes on 4-of-15 shooting from the field — including 0-for-5 from 3-point range — and 12 of 12 from the free-throw line. He collected just one rebound in the first half and totaled six as well as two steals and three blocks. The league’s history of fining players from not being available to media after playoff games includes Jimmy Butler III (then of the Miami Heat) and Dillon Brooks (then of the Memphis Grizzlies), who were fined $25,000 each in 2023, per ESPN. Wembanyama, an All-Star the past two seasons, won the Magic Johnson Award this season from the Professional Basketball Writers Association. The annual honor, created in 2001, is for the NBA player who best combines excellence on the court with cooperation and dignity in dealing with the media and public. He leads the Spurs in scoring average (22.9 points per game), rebounds (11.1) and blocks (3.7) in 15 playoff games. He averaged 25.0 points, rebounds and a league-best 3.1 blocks in 64 regular-season contests. The first overall pick of the 2023 NBA Draft, Wembanyama was the 2023-24 NBA Rookie of the Year. He was the NBA Defensive Player of the Year, the lone unanimous choice for All-Defensive first team as well as first-team All-NBA this season. He was an All-Star the past two seasons. ===================================== NHL FIRST-PERIOD SPREE BRINGS HURRICANES TO VERGE OF STANLEY CUP FINAL Thanks to four fast starts in as many games, the Carolina Hurricanes have pushed the Montreal Canadiens to the brink of elimination in the Eastern Conference finals. Should the Hurricanes bolt out of the blocks yet again in Game 5 on Friday in Raleigh, N.C., they likely will be in good position to punch their ticket to the Stanley Cup Final for the third time in franchise history. The visiting Hurricanes scored three times in less than three minutes in the first period and Frederik Andersen made 18 saves, lifting Carolina to a 4-0 victory over Montreal in Game 4 on Wednesday. Although the Hurricanes hold a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series, Andersen said his team can’t let up. “We want to put our minds right to get that job done,” Andersen told TNT. “We know that it doesn’t take any less because we’re up 3-1. We want to continue coming with this attitude and really take it to them. That’s what we’ve been successful with.” Games Sebastian Aho scored a power-play goal and captain Jordan Staal and Logan Stankoven also converted in a 2:47 stretch late in the first period. Andrei Svechnikov added an empty-net tally late in the third period. “We wanted to have a good start, and we got it,” Aho told Sportsnet. “… Couple big goals in the first. Jordan and Stank’s goal, so we extended the lead. I thought it was a solid game for us.” Andersen turned aside three shots in the third period to preserve his eighth career postseason shutout and fifth with the Hurricanes, surpassing Cam Ward for the most in franchise history. Andersen has three shutouts this postseason, one in each round. Nikolaj Ehlers and defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere each notched two assists for the Hurricanes, who became the seventh team in NHL history to win each of its first six road games of a postseason. Jakub Dobes made 39 saves on his 25th birthday for the Canadiens, who have lost four in a row at home and six of eight overall in Montreal during the playoffs. “It obviously (stinks) to come in here and lose (Games 3 and 4) at home,” Montreal captain Nick Suzuki said. “We gotta focus on Game 5, we can go in there and win and give ourselves a chance to come back in the series.” Carolina opened the scoring for the fourth time in as many games after Aho’s one-timer from the right circle beat Dobes inside the near post with 5:01 remaining in the first period. Aho logged his 11th career power-play goal in the playoffs, eclipsing former captain Eric Staal for the most in franchise history. The Hurricanes doubled the advantage 68 seconds later after defenseman K’Andre Miller skated below the goal line and backhanded a centering feed that caromed off the stick of Jordan Staal and into the goal. Montreal’s Josh Anderson was attempting to fend off Jordan Staal in front of the net. Gostisbehere blocked a shot by Canadiens defenseman Lane Hutson, setting up a 2-on-1 rush that saw Jackson Blake feed Stankoven for his team-leading eighth goal of the playoffs 1:39 later. “It was my time to lay my body on the line. I’m just happy it went the other way and we got rewarded,” Gostisbehere told Sportsnet. Dobes extended his left pad to deny Blake on a breakaway to keep the game scoreless just over two minutes into the game. “It seemed like the only guy who showed up was (Dobes),” Hutson said. “We were just not good enough, didn’t answer the bell. The good news is we get another chance to answer the bell.” ==================================== MLB MLB ROUNDUP: IAN HAPP-LED CUBS BLAST PIRATES TO HALT 10-GAME SKID Ian Happ drove in five runs and ignited a six-run seventh inning with a three-run home run that eventually helped the Chicago Cubs snap a 10-game losing streak with a 10-4 win over the host Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday night. The Cubs last scored 10 runs in a game in their prior win May 15 before the losing streak began. The skid was the longest active losing streak in the majors and the longest for the Cubs since June 4-16, 2022. Chicago won for only the third time in its past 17 games. Happ finished with two hits, marking his first multi-hit game since May 15. Happ’s 11th home run of the season off Pittsburgh reliever Yohan Ramirez (2-2) helped the Cubs break a 4-4 tie on the way to snapping the Pirates’ three-game winning streak. Seiya Suzuki followed Happ’s homer with a single, then Michael Conforto belted his fourth homer of the season off Justin Lawrence to add two more runs. Michael Busch capped the frame with an RBI single. Pirates starter Bubba Chandler allowed four runs on eight hits, walked two and struck out five over five innings. Bryan Reynolds had three hits, including a double. Brewers 2, Cardinals 1 Sal Frelick scored the go-ahead run on an eighth-inning error by St. Louis shortstop Masyn Winn as host Milwaukee rallied for a win and a series sweep. Cardinals starter Dustin May (3-6) held the Brewers hitless through the first seven innings but didn’t retire either of the batters he faced in the eighth. Garrett Mitchell doubled and Luis Rengifo hit a bunt single before JoJo Romero replaced May. One out later, Christian Yelich’s RBI single tied the game 1-1 before Winn made the key error. Brewers reliever Aaron Ashby (9-0) threw two scoreless innings, and Trevor Megill notched his sixth save with a scoreless ninth. Tigers 4, Angels 0 Spencer Torkelson had three extra-base hits, including a solo homer, and Detroit overcame two pitching injuries to blank visiting Los Angeles. Kevin McGonigle had two hits and scored twice for the Tigers, who won for just the second time in 11 games. Detroit starter Casey Mize and reliever Kenley Jansen both departed due to groin injuries, though the extent of the ailments was unclear postgame. Jose Soriano (6-4) gave up three runs on seven hits in five innings as the Angels had their four-game winning streak end. Guardians 3, Nationals 2 Chase DeLauter drove in the go-ahead run in the fifth and Gavin Williams notched his American League-leading eighth win as Cleveland beat visiting Washington Williams (8-3) worked seven strong innings, allowing one run on three hits. Jose Ramirez poked a sacrifice fly to start the Guardians’ three-run fifth, which also featured RBI singles by DeLauter and Angel Martinez. Miles Mikolas (1-4) did not allow an earned run in 3 2/3 innings, but took the loss due to a Curtis Mead error that led to two unearned runs. CJ Abrams went 2-for-3 with an RBI and a stolen base. Dodgers 4, Rockies 1 Shohei Ohtani (5-2) did not allow a hit over six innings on the mound and added a leadoff home run from the batter’s box as Los Angeles extended its winning streak to five games with a victory over visiting Colorado. Ohtani and Will Klein held the Rockies without a hit through seven innings before Tyler Freeman singled to right field with two outs in the eighth against Tanner Scott. Kyle Hurt finished off the combined one-hitter with a perfect ninth inning to earn his first career save. Freddie Freeman also went deep in the opening inning before Andy Pages homered in the eighth. Rockies starter Tomoyuki Sugano (4-4) gave up three runs on six hits over 4 2/3 innings in a duel of Japanese-born starters. Colorado scored its lone run in the fourth inning on a groundout by Willi Castro en route to its fifth loss in a row. Phillies 3, Padres 0 Cristopher Sanchez set Philadelphia’s franchise record for consecutive scoreless innings as it completed a three-game sweep of San Diego at Petco Park. Sanchez passed Grover Cleveland Alexander’s mark of 41 innings, set in 1911. The left-hander finished seven innings, permitting six hits and no walks while fanning nine as he improved to 6-2. Sanchez has fired 44 2/3 straight scoreless innings. Walker Buehler (3-3) took the loss, yielding two runs on three hits in 5 1/3 innings. It was the fourth straight loss for San Diego, which closed a nine-game homestand at 3-6. Yankees 7, Royals 0 Gerrit Cole (1-0) scattered four hits and struck out 10 over 6 2/3 stellar innings and Ben Rice had three RBIs as visiting New York completed a three-game sweep with a shutout victory over Kansas City. The Yankees beat the Royals for the 14th straight time including playoffs. Rice and Paul Goldschmidt each had two hits and Ryan McMahon clubbed a two-run homer in the eighth for New York, which has won four straight. Royals starter Noah Cameron (2-4) allowed two runs and four hits over five-plus innings. Maikel Garcia poked two of the Royals’ four hits as they dropped to 3-13 since May 10. White Sox 15, Twins 2 David Sandlin (1-0) pitched six innings of one-run ball in his major league debut and Munetaka Murakami homered for the third straight game as host Chicago blasted Minnesota. An 18-hit attack propelled Chicago. Sam Antonacci and Randal Grichuk collected three hits apiece. Chase Meidroth hit a seventh-inning grand slam before Murakami followed with his 20th home run, tied for the American League lead. Twins lefty Connor Prielipp (1-3) sputtered in his seventh career start, allowing six runs and eight hits in 4 1/3 innings. Blue Jays 2, Marlins 1 Kazuma Okamoto hit a go-ahead home run in the sixth inning and Toronto defeated visiting Miami. The Marlins outhit the Blue Jays 11-5 but stranded eight in going 2-for-11 with runners in scoring position. They also had four runners caught stealing. Otto Lopez went 4-for-4 with two stolen bases and the Marlins’ lone RBI. Eury Perez left after four scoreless innings with a right hamstring spasm. He had a season-best nine strikeouts. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. produced two of Toronto’s five hits. Miami pitching fanned 13 Blue Jays. Kevin Gausman allowed one run and six hits in five innings. Mariners 9, Athletics 1 Rob Refsnyder and Julio Rodriguez hit three-run homers and Logan Gilbert pitched six scoreless innings as Seattle routed the Athletics in West Sacramento, Calif., to move into first place in the American League West for the first time this season. Gilbert (3-4) allowed five hits. Rookie Colt Emerson had two hits, including a two-run triple, while Cole Young had two hits and scored three runs. The Mariners completed the sweep, outscoring the Athletics 22-4. Athletics starter Jeffrey Springs (3-6) allowed five runs (two earned) on six hits over five innings. Zack Gelof and Darell Hernaiz each had two hits for the Athletics, who got their only run in the ninth on a Jeff McNeil double play. Diamondbacks 3, Giants 2 Geraldo Perdomo hit a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the seventh inning and visiting Arizona threw out two San Francisco players on the basepaths in a crazy eighth to hold on for a victory that completed a second consecutive three-game sweep between the National League West rivals. Michael Soroka (7-2) limited the Giants to two runs and four hits over six innings. Ketel Marte finished with two hits of the Diamondbacks’ six hits, with Paul Sewald delivering a 1-2-3 ninth for his 14th save after Luis Arraez was picked off at second to end the eighth when representing the tying run. Arraez finished 3-for-4 with both San Francisco RBIs, while Willy Adames chipped in with a pair of doubles. Trevor McDonald (2-2) took a shutout one-hitter into the sixth inning, but gave up three runs (two earned) on six hits in 6 1/3 innings. Red Sox 8, Braves 0 Connelly Early pitched seven scoreless innings and Jarren Duran homered for the second straight game to help Boston end a four-game losing streak by beating visiting Atlanta. Games Early (5-2) limited the Braves to four hits and three walks. The Red Sox took command with a six-run fourth thanks to five singles and a pair of Atlanta errors. Duran had four of Boston’s 15 hits while Ceddanne Rafaela chipped in three to help snap a five-game home losing streak. Atlanta starter Bryce Elder (4-3) was pulled with one out in the fourth after allowing six runs (five earned) on nine hits. It marked the first time in 12 starts this season he allowed more than three runs. Jorge Mateo had two of Atlanta’s five hits. Mets 4, Reds 2 Juan Soto hit his sixth homer in seven games and Carson Benge had a pair of two-out RBI singles to lead New York past visiting Cincinnati to avoid a sweep. Benge and Soto each had two hits, helping the Mets score more than two runs for the first time in seven games while snapping a five-game losing streak. Jonah Tong (1-0) allowed one unearned run on three hits over 3 2/3 innings. Devin Williams walked the bases loaded in the ninth but struck out the final two batters to record his eighth save. The Reds fell for just the second time in seven games, stranding 17 runners on base. Nathaniel Lowe and Sal Stewart had RBI singles for Cincinnati, who saw starter Andrew Abbott’s (4-3) personal four-game win streak snapped after allowing three runs (two earned) on five hits over six innings. Orioles 11, Rays 2 Gunnar Henderson hit the first of his two home runs in Baltimore’s five-run first inning as the Orioles beat visiting Tampa Bay to complete a three-game sweep. Rookie Trey Gibson (1-0) tossed 5 2/3 innings and gave up one run on six hits for his first major league victory. Blaze Alexander drove in six runs with a single, a double and a home run, and Adley Rutschman added three hits, including two doubles. Hunter Feduccia had three hits for the Rays, who have lost four games in a row for the first time this season. Steven Matz (4-2) surrendered six runs on seven hits in three innings. Astros 4, Rangers 3 Yordan Alvarez went 3-for-4 with two solo home runs, including a go-ahead blast in the eighth inning, and Houston beat Texas in Arlington, Texas. Mike Burrows (3-6) allowed two runs on five hits over seven innings. He retired 20 of his final 23 batters to help Houston win for the fifth time in its last six games. With five homers in his last three games, Alvarez has moved into a tie atop the AL leaderboard with 20 homers. Joc Pederson also had two homers in a 3-for-4 performance for the Rangers. Jacob deGrom allowed two runs on four hits over six innings, but was denied his 100th career win for the third straight outing. ===== BASEBALL PLAYERS ASK FOR EXPANDED FREE AGENCY, SALARY ARBITRATION RIGHTS, ALMOST DOUBLING MINIMUM NEW YORK (AP) — Baseball players fired the opening salvo Wednesday in what is expected to be long and contentious labor negotiations, asking for expanded free agency and salary arbitration rights along with almost doubling the major league minimum and increasing the money high-revenue teams share with the less-wealthy clubs. A day before Major League Baseball is expected to make a salary cap proposal, the union outlined its initial economic proposals during a bargaining session at the players’ association office in Manhattan. It included what it called a “competitive integrity tax” that would penalize teams dropping below a payroll floor and called for the luxury tax threshold to rise to $300 million next year. Baseball’s labor contract expires Dec. 1 and MLB is expected to institute a lockout, management’s equivalent of a strike under federal labor law. Players have vowed they never will accept a salary cap. “Attendance, viewership, interest — by any measure you want to use, our game is moving in a positive direction,” Baltimore pitcher Chris Bassitt, a member of the union’s eight-man executive subcommittee, said in a statement. “We’ve put forward proposals designed to continue that trend. Support, incentivize, and reward clubs who are committed to competing, especially small-market clubs. Compensate players fairly for the work they are doing.” MLB clearly is not in favor of what the union presented and maintains the players’ plan would decrease revenue sharing. “We understand their proposals are designed to benefit players. Unfortunately, they do not address and in fact exacerbate the competitive balance problem our fans are telling us we must address,” MLB spokesman Glen Caplin said in a statement. “The MLBPA’s proposal would reduce the amount transferred to lower-revenue clubs, weaken the competitive balance tax and lead to even more payroll disparity than exists today. For example, under the union’s proposal, the Dodgers would pay less in luxury tax payments, giving them an additional $70 million to spend on payroll.” Marcus Semien and Sean Manaea of the Mets and Eugenio Suárez of Cincinnati attended the session while other players participated online. “The players’ proposals provide increased revenue sharing initially guaranteeing every small-market club a minimum of $240 million in revenue every season,” interim union head Bruce Meyer, who replaced Tony Clark in February, said in a statement. “This enhanced revenue sharing includes added protections to ensure clubs prioritize winning over profiteering.” According to details obtained by The Associated Press: — The luxury tax threshold, which starts at $244 million this season, would rise to $300 million in 2027 and then increase by $15 million annually. Penalties such as moving back a team’s pick in the amateur draft would be eliminated. Surcharge levels, currently as much as 110%, would drop to 10% above the preceding level. — Free agent eligibility, which has been six seasons of major league service since the 1976 agreement would drop to five for players who have reached age 30 by Nov. 1. A team could retain the player by making a qualifying offer. If a player in that group refuses the qualifying offer, he would become arbitration eligible. — The minimum salary would rise from $780,000 this year to $1.5 million next season, $1.65 million in 2028, $1,825,000 in 2029, $2 million in 2030 and $2.2 million in 2031. — Salary arbitration eligibility would expand and teams would have to offer at least $3 million to eligible players. The threshold increased from two years to three years in 1986 and the so-called super 2 class with those of two to three years began in 1991 at 17% and it increased to 22% in 2013. The union proposed it be expanded to 44%. In addition, salaries in cases decided by arbitration panels would be guaranteed and the union asked that some salaries used for comparisons be given 120% of their value. — The pre-arbitration bonus pool, established at $50 million in the 2022-26 deal, would increase to $180 million next year and then rise by $15 million annually. Players coming up to the major leagues for the first time who sign multiyear deals either before opening day or during the first 21 days of the season would become ineligible. — The qualifying offer for players with six years of service would be eliminated. It has diminished the markets of some free agents since it began after the 2012 season because of penalties on signing teams. — The amateur draft lottery would expand from six teams to eight. — Rules instituted in 2022 designed to decrease service time manipulation would be expanded, such as ensuring a full year of service to eligible prospects who finish among the top five in MVP voting. — Lower-revenue teams who lose players as free agents would get increased benefits and low-revenue teams would get more draft selections. — A competitive integrity tax would be imposed on teams who do not reach 50% of the lowest tax threshold and teams further below would face surcharges. Teams would be penalized for not spending revenue-sharing money they receive on payrolls. — Each small-market team would be guaranteed at least $240 million in revenue annually and teams would keep more ballpark-related revenue. — Low-revenue teams with winning records or reaching the playoffs would get more revenue sharing money and local media revenue would be shared among teams more extensively. A five-year deal was reached on March 10, 2022, the 99th day of a lockout, preserving a 162-game regular-season schedule. That was the sport’s ninth work stoppage and first since a 7 1/2-month strike in 1994-95 caused cancellation of the World Series for the first time since 1904. ======================================= INDIANA SPORTS NEWS AND HEADLINES INDIANA HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL Another Brownsburg Bulldog has made a college choice. DL Dami Sowunmi has chosen Missouri over Kansas State Cincinnati. Sowunmi had five sacks for the state champion Bulldogs last season. ======================================== COLTS FOOTBALL (COLTS RELEASE) During an OTA practice Wednesday, Daniel Jones went through individual work, dressed in his helmet and practice jersey. Although he didn’t take team reps, he checked another box on his road to full recovery. Despite sustaining an Achilles tear in December, Jones still has zero doubt he will be ready to open the season in September. “I understand the process, and you got to hit your marks,” he said of his recovery. “I have a lot of trust and faith in myself to do the work and put myself in a position to play.” Steichen has had a front row seat to Jones’ long recovery, and the Duke alum’s determination to take the first snap of the regular season is no surprise to him. “He’s working his tail off every day and rehabbing like crazy,” he said. “He lives in this building, so it’s good to see him out here doing individual work with the guys.” The backup role, however, seems to be up in the air. Heading into the 2025 season, the quarterback depth chart was clear: Jones at No. 1, with Anthony Richardson Sr. and Riley Leonard behind him. After an injury-riddled 2025 season, which forced the Colts to bring in 44-year-old veteran Philip Rivers, the QB2 role is up in the air between Richardson and Leonard. The two split reps Wednesday. “It’s 50/50,” head coach Shane Steichen said of the battle. “They’ll be competing for the backup.” Richardson and his agent requested a trade in February, but nothing came to fruition. Now, he is focused on playing at the level he knows he can. “I signed a contract, so I got an obligation to this team to come out here and play,” Richardson said. “I’m trying to make sure I’m staying healthy.” Leonard was the Colts’ starter Week 18, finishing with 270 passing yards and two touchdowns. Steichen liked what he saw then, and he likes what he’s seeing now. “He’s got great command in the huddle,” Steichen said. “He’s continuing to learn the offense, growing in that nature and going through his reads.” ===================================================== INDIANAPOLIS INDIANS The Iowa Cubs scored Wednesday night’s lone run in the first inning to defeat the Indianapolis Indians at Victory Field, 1-0. The two teams combined for just five hits and 21 strikeouts in the second contest of the six-game series. A bases-loaded wild pitch by Hunter Barco (L, 2-3) with one out in the first inning proved the difference, with Iowa (23-29) and Indianapolis (21-32) combining to go 1-for-11 with runners in scoring position across nine innings. I-Cubs reliever Gavin Hollowell entered in the fifth inning and began a stretch of 4.1 one-hit innings by the bullpen, allowing just one lone baserunner with six strikeouts through the end of the game. The shutout was capped by Christian Roa (S, 2), who tossed 2.0 innings to close the door. The Indians will look to win their first game of the series on Thursday night at 6:35 PM. RHP Antwone Kelly (2-4, 5.56) will take the mound for Indy against RHP Javier Assad. ========================================= INDY IGNITE FISHERS, Ind. (May 27, 2026) – The Indy Ignite will push to win the 2027 Major League Volleyball Championship with much the same roster as the team that captured this year’s regular-season championship with a record-setting number of victories. The Ignite announced today the signing of 13 players for next season, including a dozen who played for the team in 2026. When the 2027 season begins in January, the Ignite will have more competition as the MLV grows from eight to 12 teams including new franchises already announced in Los Angeles, Northern California, Minnesota, and Washington, D.C. One additional team for 2027 will be announced in the coming weeks. Among the Ignite returnees are the four players who were All-MLV First Team selections. Mia Tuaniga earned the league’s Most Valuable Player award as well as being named Setter of the Year. Elena Scott was named Libero of the Year, Azhani Tealer the Opposite Hitter of the Year and Lydia Martyn the Middle Blocker of the Year. All four will be back in 2027 to anchor the lineup guided by head coach Lauren Bertolacci, whose team won an MLV-record 23 matches in her first season when she was named MLV Coach of the Year. Other players coming back for the Ignite are: middle blocker Blake Mohler, who was named to the MLV All-Star Team along with Tuaniga, Scott, Tealer and Martyn until her season ended with a knee injury requiring surgery; middle blockers Emma Clothier and Cara Cresse, outside hitters Emoni Bush, Anna DeBeer and Kayla Lund, opposite hitter Camryn Hannah and libero Emma Halter. Five of the players – DeBeer, Martyn, Mohler, Scott and Tealer – are all entering their third season with the Ignite. The 13 players already under contract for 2027 keep the winning culture the team built in 2026 intact for the franchise’s third season. Indy has qualified for the MLV postseason in each of its first two years, reaching the championship match in 2025 and the semifinals this season. The newcomer signed for 2027 is a familiar face to Bertolacci. Outside hitter Tia Scambray played six seasons for Bertolacci at Viteos NUC in Switzerland, being named the Swiss League MVP four times, claiming 16 titles and several top scorer honors. Scambray, a 6-foot-0 native of Dana Point, Calif., who played collegiately at Washington, just completed her seventh year at Viteos NUC, where she helped lead the team to its seventh straight league championship. “Our focus this season was building through continuity. We believe sustained success comes from investing in people over multiple years, and creating an environment where athletes can grow together. We’ve established a strong foundation for the future, and I’m confident the players we’ve retained will continue to develop and elevate our program,” said Bertolacci. “We added a piece in Tia Scambray who has championship experience and has worked with me for many seasons. She is a fierce competitor, an elite all-round player and exactly the right personality to help lead this group into the future.” Following is a summary of each returning Ignite player, listed alphabetically: Emoni Bush, outside hitter: Played in 11 matches in rookie season in 2026. Recorded her best match of the season against Columbus on May 1, leading the team in kills (20) and points (24).

The Fever defeated the Valkyries at home last Friday, May 22, 90-82. The rematch stands to be a gritty contest between two of the league’s top teams. Indiana enters the matchup with a 4-2 record and a three-game win streak. The Fever are top-4 in the WNBA in both offensive and defensive rating, but are second in net rating behind just Golden State. The Valkyries also tote a 4-2 record into Thursday’s game following a convincing 97-70 win over Connecticut on Monday. Golden State is led by Veronica Burton, who scores 14 points per game, but is supported by six teammates averaging eight or more points nightly.

Indiana’s 93.7 total points per game are the best in the league as the Fever offense continues to be red-hot. Golden State manages nearly 86 points per contest, but allows a league-low 76 opponent points. The Fever’s opponents score an average of 87 points. The matchup with the Valkyries marks the first of two games on the West Coast for the Fever – they’ll travel to Portland to take on the Fire on Saturday, May 30, before returning to Indianapolis to host the Atlanta Dream on June 4. ============================================ INDY ELEVEN Indy Eleven midfielder Jack Blake has been selected to the USL Championship “Team of the Week” for Week 12 after helping the Boys in Blue extend their league home unbeaten streak to eight (7-0-1) with a 3-1 victory over Lexington SC on Saturday at Carroll Stadium.

The Phillies release the 43-year-old veteran a few hours after the game. In a twenty-season career, Alexander posted a 373-208 record with 2,198 strikeouts and a 2.56 ERA.

Mike LaCoss and Dave Smith strike out three each to total 17 Ks, one short of Don Wilson’s club record. Dave Kingman whiffs five times, once with the bases loaded. Terry Puhl socks a home run and Phil Garner drives in three to pace the offense. 1986 – Chicago White Sox pitcher Joe Cowley sets a major league record by striking out the first seven Texas Rangers batters he faces, but still surrenders six runs in 4 1/3 innings and loses, 6 – 3.

Bell hits the blast off Bobby Thigpen of the White Sox with Kelly Gruber on first base in the bottom of the 10th inning, giving Toronto a 7 – 5 win. The Jays will inaugurate their new home, the SkyDome, on June 5th. Five days after beating Calgary with a 1 – 0 no-hitter in the Pacific Coast League, Vancouver left-hander Tom Drees spins another 1 – 0 gem against Edmonton. Drees joins Walt Justis (Lancaster, Ohio State League, 1908), Johnny Vander Meer (Reds, 1938) and Bill Bell (Bristol, Appalachian League, 1952) as the only professional pitchers to author back-to-back no-nos. Drees will toss another no-hitter on August 16th, making him the first hurler since Bell with three in one season. (Justis threw four no-hitters in 1908). A 17th-round pick out of Creighton University in 1985, Drees will make just four big league appearances, posting a 12.27 ERA with the 1991 White Sox. 1990 – In the bottom of the 3rd inning at Wrigley Field, Ryne Sandberg hits a two-run home run just inside the left field foul pole that third base umpire Bill Hohn rules a fair ball. However, Giants manager Roger Craig comes out and argues the call. After a discussion by the umpires, crew chief (and first base arbiter) Harry Wendelstedt overrules Hohn and calls it a foul ball. Television replays clearly show the hit to be a fair ball and a homer. Cubs manager Don Zimmer is ejected because of the changed call. Sandberg singles after the controversy, but the Cubs do not score in the frame; however, they win the game, 5 – 1. 1994 – Dave Winfield of the Minnesota Twins hits his 3,054th major league league career hit to surpass former Twin Rod Carew into 15th place on the all-time list. 1995 – At Tiger Stadium, the Chicago White Sox (five) and Detroit Tigers (seven) combine to set a major-league record 12 home runs, with Chicago winning the 14 – 12 slugfest. 1996 – In the Orioles’ 12 – 8 win over Seattle at the Kingdome, Cal Ripken blasts a grand slam and two two-run round-trippers, giving him a career-high eight RBIs. The Baltimore shortstop’s younger brother, Billy, also goes deep for the Birds, making it the second time the siblings have both homered in the same game. 2000: Homering in their 15th straight game, the Houston Astros set a team record in a 4 – 3 victory over the Braves, with Ken Caminiti and Lance Berkman helping Houston to establish the mark. For the first time in franchise history, the Angels hit four home runs in one inning, with Darin Erstad, Mo Vaughn, Tim Salmon and Garret Anderson supplying the fireworks. The four long balls in the 5th inning help Anaheim to an 8 – 4 victory over Kansas City. 2001 – Dodgers catcher Paul Lo Duca goes 6 for 6, including a home run, against the Rockies to tie a National League record for hits in an extra-inning game. 2003 – In the bottom of the 1st inning, Rafael Furcal, Mark DeRosa and Gary Sheffield hit home runs off Cincinnati Reds pitcher Jeff Austin, who, incidentally, is appearing in his final major league game, as the Atlanta Braves become only the second team in major league history to begin a game with three consecutive home runs. On April 13, 1987, Marvell Wynne, Tony Gwynn and John Kruk of the San Diego Padres did the same in the bottom of the 1st inning off San Francisco starter Roger Mason. 2004: Mariano Rivera posts his 300th career save in a Yankees’ 7 – 5 victory over Tampa Bay. He also becomes the first Yankee and 17th reliever in major league history to reach the milestone. Matt Clement becomes the 21st big league pitcher and the first Chicago Cubs pitcher in over a century to hit with pitches three batters in one inning to tie a major league record. The victims plucked in the 5th inning of the first game of a doubleheader against the Pirates are Bobby Hill, Jason Kendall and Craig Wilson. 2005 – In the 8th inning of the Red Sox’s 17 – 1 rout over the Yankees in New York, the largest margin of victory the team has ever enjoyed against their rivals, the Yankee Stadium scoreboard goes blank for a few moments when the operator cannot keep up with the Boston barrage. The team’s 27 hits, which is one shy of a Bronx Bombers record for hits allowed, are the most collected by the club since tying the franchise record of 28 in June of 2003, ironically in a game also started by Carl Pavano as the opposing pitcher, but in a Marlins uniform. 2006 – Barry Bonds of the San Francisco Giants hits the 715th home run of his 21-year major league career to surpass Babe Ruth for sole possession of second place on the all-time list. Hank Aaron is the all-time leader with 755 home runs. Bonds connects on a 90-mph 3-2 fastball in the bottom of the 4th inning off Byung-Hyun Kim of the Colorado Rockies before a near-capacity crowed at AT&T Park. Colorado wins the game, 6 – 3, as Kim becomes the 421st pitcher to surrender a home run to the 41-year-old slugger. 2008 – In a rare big-name match-up in A ball, the Vero Beach Devil Rays beat the St. Lucie Mets, 2 – 0. Pedro Martinez, a three-time Cy Young Award winner on a rehab start, allows two runs in six innings to take the loss. The win goes to David Price, the top pick of the 2008 amateur draft, making his second pro start. Price allows two hits and no walks in six shutout frames, fanning nine. Martinez says: “He’s amazing, that kid.” Price will be pitching in the World Series at the end of the year. 2010: Corey Hart hits a two-run homer in the bottom of the 9th inning to give the Milwaukee Brewers a 2 – 0 win over the New York Mets at Miller Park. The homer ends a string of 35 consecutive scoreless innings by Mets pitching. Matt Cain of the Giants pitches a one-hitter in defeating the Arizona Diamondbacks, 5 – 0. The only hit is a 2nd-inning double by Mark Reynolds. The Tigers fail to take advantage of a three-home run performance by Miguel Cabrera, falling, 5 – 4, to Ben Sheets and the Oakland Athletics. Reliever Ryan Perry is the loser. The A’s get some bad news after the game, as they announce that two-time All-Star pitcher Justin Duchscherer, who has made only five starts this year, needs to undergo surgery on a bothersome hip and will be out for the rest of the season. 2011: The Angels’ Jered Weaver is still winless since notching a 6-0 record in April, but not for lack of trying. Today, he pitches nine scoreless innings, but ends up with a no-decision as the Twins’ Anthony Swarzak gives up only a one hit – an 8th-inning double by Peter Bourjos – and the Twins win, 1 – 0, on Danny Valencia’s bases-loaded single in the bottom of the 10th. Swarzak is filling in for a sore-armed Francisco Liriano but still manages to turn a 75-pitch pitch count limit into eight innings of brilliant work on the mound. In his 23rd season in the majors, 44-year-old Omar Vizquel gets to play first base for the first time. His untested defensive skills are called for in the 11th inning, after Carlos Quentin comes in as a pinch-hitter for the White Sox, and manager Ozzie Guillen must shuffle his remaining players to accommodate him. The Sox still lose to the Blue Jays, 9 – 8, on Corey Patterson’s walk-off home run in the bottom of the 14th inning. Earlier in the game, the Jays’ Jose Bautista hit a three-run homer to become the first twenty-home run hitter in the majors this year. 2012: The Cubs end a twelve-game losing streak, their longest since 1997, with an 11 – 7 win over the Padres at Wrigley Field. Alfonso Soriano goes 3 for 4 with a homer and three RBI, his 7th-inning homer putting the Cubs ahead to stay against Alex Hinshaw; Ian Stewart, Starlin Castro and Darwin Barney also homer for Chicago, while David DeJesus hits a pair of triples. For their part, the Padres hit four long balls on a day when the wind is blowing towards the fences, with Chase Headley connecting twice, and Everth Cabrera and Will Venable once each. The Angels lose their ace, Jered Weaver, after only 12 pitches when he is forced to leave his start against the Yankees with a back injury in the 1st inning, but they hold on for a hard-fought 9 – 8 win, capped by Mark Trumbo’s walk-off home run. The win puts the Angels at .500 for the first time since April 9th. Howie Kendrick and Kendry Morales drive in three runs each and Mike Trout homers to lead the offense. Curtis Granderson and Mark Teixeira homer for New York, and Russell Martin hits a two-run double in the 7th to tie the game at 8-all, but Trumbo’s 9th-inning homer off Cory Wade ends it, giving struggling closer Jordan Walden his first win of the year. The Sparta/Feyenoord head coach musical chairs game continues with the return of Dino Anasagasti. Anasagasti had stepped down just eight days earlier. His assistant Gershwin Hernandez replaced him for one game, then Marwin Kleinmoedig took over for three. The club had faced rumors it would have to withdraw from the Hoofdklasse and had seen a couple of players leave the team during this time. 2013: The Mets honor Yankees great Mariano Rivera, who has announced his retirement at the end of the year, by having him throw the ceremonial first pitch before the game between the two teams from the Big Apple at Citi Field, with retired Mets closer John Franco acting as his catcher for the occasion. However, the night doesn’t end so well for Mo, as Daniel Murphy leads off the bottom of the 9th with a double and David Wright and Lucas Duda follow with RBI singles to turn a 1 – 0 deficit into a 2 – 1 win. It is the first time of Mariano’s illustrious career that he blows a save without retiring a single batter; it is also his first blown save of the year. Hyun-Jin Ryu tosses a two-hitter for his first career shutout as the Dodgers defeat the Angels, 3 – 0. Luis Cruz hits his first homer of the year in support of the Korean’s great pitching effort. 2014 – The Blue Jays are the hottest team in the majors after winning their ninth straight and 14th of 16, 3 – 2 against the Rays. Tampa Bay hits starter Liam Hendriks hard, but a number of defensive gems by the Jays keep the score close, until the bottom of the 9th when Dioner Navarro leads off with a single off Juan Carlos Oviedo. Anthony Gose then lays a perfect bunt down the first base line, and Oviedo’s throw goes into right field, allowing pinch-runner Kevin Pillar to race all the way home with the winning run. 2016 In the 3rd inning of a game against the Dodgers, Mets P Noah Syndergaard is ejected for throwing at Chase Utley, in apparent retaliation for Utley’s aggressive slide which injured Mets SS Ruben Tejada in last year’s NLDS. Umpire Adam Hamari also tosses Mets manager Terry Collins for arguing his decision, then Utley gets his revenge when he opens the score with a solo homer off Logan Verrett in the 6th and adds a grand slam off Hansel Robles in the 7th. The Dodgers hit five homers in total as they win the game, 9 – 1. The Royals stage the biggest 9th-inning comeback in their history when they score seven runs to defeat the White Sox, 8 – 7. With a 7 – 1 lead, White Sox closer David Robertson seems to be cruising along when he strikes out Paulo Orlando to start off the bottom of the 9th, but Cheslor Cuthbert singles and Brett Eibner follows with a double. After the Royals have batted around, Eibner ends the game with a single off Tommy Kahnle, driving in Drew Butera with the winning run. One of the key hits of the rally is a two-run single by Whit Merrifield, and the win goes to Chien-Ming Wang, as players who barely contributed to last season’s World Series win do most of the damage for the Royals. 2019 – Derek Dietrich continues his unlikely homer binge as he hits three, all two-run shots, in leading the Reds to an 11 – 6 win over the Pirates. With 17 homers this year, he has already topped his career high, and 12 of his last 17 hits have gone over the fence. For the Pirates, rookie Kevin Newman hits his first career homer, a grand slam off Lucas Sims. 2022 – UCLA and Oregon State engage in a wild game in the first game of a doubleheader in the 2022 Pacific-12 Conference Tournament as UCLA rallies from nine runs down in the 9th to force extra innings – with the score at 21 – 21. They then win the game in the 10th, 25 – 22, on a walk-off three-run homer by C Tommy Beres, who has already contributed two RBIs in the 8th and a two-run double in the epic 9th-inning comeback, after coming in as a defensive replacement in the 6th. The two teams combine for 53 hits and 47 runs in a game that takes 5 hours and 44 minutes. Beres’ homer comes after Oregon State had taken the lead ion the top of the 10th, only to see its pitcher balk in the tying run before the game-ending blast. The two teams then face off again 45 minutes later, and this time Oregon State comes out on top, 8 – 7, to reach tomorrow’s championship game against Stanford University. 2023: In a veritable slugfest, the Rays outpunch the Dodgers, 11 – 10, in the rubber game of a three-game set between the leaders of their respective divisions. The two teams combine for 27 hits and six homers in addition to the 21 runs. After the Rays take the lead in the bottom of the 8th, closer Pete Fairbanks is unable to enter the game as he feels tightness in his hip while warming up in the bullpen, and Jason Adam, who had pitched the 8th and thought he was out of the game, comes back to retire the Dodgers in order in the 9th – a rare clean inning that ends the game. Isaac Paredes goes 3 for 4 with four RBIs to lead the Rays’ offense as they chase youngster Gavin Stone with a six-run 2nd inning. Spencer Strider of the Braves becomes the fastest starting pitcher to record 100 strikeouts in a season, doing so in his 61st inning in an 11 – 4 win over the Phillies. Last year, Strider set the record for the fastest pitcher to reach 200 Ks in a season. 2024 – Jeremiah Estrada strikes out all three batters he faces in pitching the 9th inning of 4 – 0 Padres win over the Marlins, giving him a record 13 straight strikeouts over his last three appearances. José Alvarado had set the previous record in April of 2023 with 11 straight Ks.
