The New York Knicks, who have been idle since sweeping the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference final on May 25, are returning to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999. They were opposed that year by the San Antonio Spurs, who defeated the Knicks in five games to win their first of five NBA titles under then-coach Gregg Popovich. Underdogs then, New York has an uphill battle again in its bid to lift the championship trophy for the first time since 1973. The Jalen Brunson-led Knicks are listed at +170 by both BetMGM and DraftKings, while the Spurs — headlined by 22-year-old Victor Wembanyama — are listed at -210 by the former and -205 by the latter. Wembanyama collected 22 points and seven rebounds on Saturday, helping San Antonio secure a 111-103 win over reigning MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 7 of the Western Conference final. The Spurs, who are vying for their first title in 12 years, host the Knicks in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Wednesday night. New York split two games with San Antonio on the regular season but defeated the Spurs 124-113 in the NBA Cup Final on Dec. 16. ===== THUNDER STAR SHAI GILGEOUS-ALEXANDER: ‘I FAILED AT MY GOAL’ Shai Gilgeous-Alexander repeated as NBA Most Valuable Player and is the consensus best player in the sport with only three-time MVP Nikola Jokic of the Denver Nuggets able to make a reasonable case. But the Oklahoma City star described the 2025-26 season as a failure on Sunday, one day after the Thunder lost to the San Antonio Spurs in Game 7 of the Western Conference finals to end their chance at winning consecutive NBA titles. The Spurs advance to play the New York Knicks in the NBA Finals while Gilgeous-Alexander begins his offseason earlier than expected. “I failed at my goal,” Gilgeous-Alexander said during his exit-day press conference. “I didn’t achieve what I wanted to achieve. But I learn the most about myself and make the greatest amount of increases in my career when I fail and don’t get what I want. I look at this no different. I didn’t get where I wanted to go this season. There’s a reason for that. Now I have to look at that reason and try to make sure it never happens again.” The Thunder looked like a good bet to return to the NBA Finals for most of the season. Games Oklahoma City started off 24-1 and also put together a late-season 19-1 spurt toward the end of the 64-18 campaign. The Thunder then won eight straight games to start the postseason before running into troubles against the Spurs. Still, Oklahoma City held a 3-2 series lead before being smoked 118-91 in San Antonio in Game 6. The Spurs also outplayed the host Thunder in Game 7, prevailing 111-103. Gilgeous-Alexander averaged 25.9 points in the series, including three games of 30 or more, but shot just 40.9% from the field, well off his stellar 55.3 rate in the regular season. He averaged 31.1 points during the regular season. Gilgeous-Alexander shot less than 37% four times during a series in which Spurs star Victor Wembanyama was a constant obstacle. “There’s a guy on their back line that is a little bit different,” Gilgeous-Alexander said of Wembanyama. “They funnel everything to him. … It’s a really good defense. But it’s not impossible to score. I just think it’s very different.” The Thunder were hurt by not having fellow star Jalen Williams for Game 7 due to a left hamstring injury. He played in just three games in the series and five in the postseason due to the injury. Williams feels that series would have gone differently if he had been healthy. “Obviously I think I could have made an impact,” Williams said. “I think we could have won if I played. Went to seven with them without me playing. I don’t think I make us worse. That’s really my answer to that. But it’s also hats off to them. What do you want them to do about me being hurt?” Ajay Mitchell, who filled in well for Williams, missed the final four games after sustaining a right calf strain. His absence also hurt badly. One player getting heat over the Oklahoma City collapse is big man Chet Holmgren, who was badly outplayed by the 7-foot-4 Wembanyama. He averaged just 10.7 points in the series and was virtually non-existent in Game 7 with four points on 1-of-2 shooting and four rebounds in 33 minutes. “I feel like part of it was being kind of closed out heavy,” Holmgren said. “Then also kind of just being a little bit out of rhythm sometimes. I feel like there were definitely opportunities to get more attempts up that I didn’t in the moment. That’s an area to improve.” Wembanyama averaged 27.3 points, 10.9 rebounds and 2.7 blocks in the series for San Antonio. =============================== MLB MLB ROUNDUP: YANKEES ERUPT FOR 13-RUN THIRD TO BEST ATHLETICS Ben Rice drove in four runs, and Trent Grisham and Max Schuemann each had two RBIs as the New York Yankees rode a 13-run third inning to a 13-8 victory over the Athletics in West Sacramento, Calif., on Sunday. The Yankees sent 18 hitters to the plate and took a 13-3 lead in the third on 11 hits and four walks. The inning opened with 12 straight batters reaching base, the first time in 17 seasons a team has done that. Rice, Cody Bellinger and Anthony Volpe each had two hits to lead New York to a series win. Will Warren (7-1) allowed three runs (all unearned) on six hits in six innings. It’s just the second time since 1900 that a team scored 10-plus runs in a game with all of its hits coming in a single inning, and the most runs the Yankees have plated in a single inning since they scored 13 runs in the eighth against Tampa Bay on June 21, 2005. Brent Rooker doubled and homered, and Jonah Heim hit a three-run shot for the A’s. Starter Jacob Lopez (4-3) gave up seven runs on five hits with two walks and three strikeouts in two innings. Giants 19, Rockies 6 Willy Adames hit a grand slam in a seven-run fifth inning, Bryce Eldridge also homered among his four hits, and San Francisco routed Colorado in Denver. Jung Hoo Lee had a career-high five hits — two in the fifth inning — Jesus Rodriguez homered, Rafael Devers finished with three doubles and a single and Casey Schmitt had three hits for San Francisco, which snapped a five-game skid behind season highs in runs, hits (25) and extra-base hits (13). Tyler Freeman had three hits and Kyle Karros and Troy Johnston had two hits apiece for Colorado, which saw starter Tanner Gordon (0-1) allow four runs over three innings before Zach Agnos allowed all seven Giants runs in the fifth. Brewers 2, Astros 0 Jacob Misiorowski capped a stellar month by twirling seven shutout innings as visiting Milwaukee claimed the rubber match of a three-game series against Houston. Misiorowski (6-2) allowed three hits and recorded eight strikeouts during his 88-pitch gem. Misiorowski produced 15 swings and misses and averaged 100.5 miles per hour on 59 four-seam fastballs, finishing May with a 5-0 record and an 0.23 ERA. Abner Uribe and Trevor Megill completed the three-hit shutout by throwing 1-2-3 innings. Jake Bauers smacked an opposite-field, two-run homer in the top of the fourth off Astros starter Tatsuya Imai (2-3) to provide Misiorowski all of the support he needed. Imai allowed three hits and two walks with five strikeouts over six innings. Orioles 9, Blue Jays 5 Kyle Bradish didn’t allow an earned run in seven innings and Colton Cowser smashed a three-run home run as Baltimore defeated visiting Toronto to salvage a split of a four-game series. Cowser finished with four RBIs. Pete Alonso, Gunnar Henderson, Blaze Alexander, Samuel Basallo and Cowser all recorded two hits to account for the Orioles’ total of 10, helping Baltimore complete a 7-3 homestand. Yohendrick Pinango smacked a three-run homer and Nathan Lukes, Ernie Clement and Pinango all had two hits for the Blue Jays. Toronto’s Spencer Miles (2-1), who was in a starting role for the second time this season, gave up six runs in three innings. Pirates 9, Twins 3 Ryan O’Hearn and Nick Gonzales each homered to highlight another strong offensive output for host Pittsburgh, which completed a three-game sweep of Minnesota. The Pirates scored a combined 25 runs on 31 hits in the sweep. Starter Braxton Ashcraft (5-2) struck out a career-high 11 over six innings in his third consecutive quality start. Ashcraft threw 80 pitches, allowed five hits and did not issue a walk. The Twins lost their fifth in a row, matching a season high. Starter Zebby Matthews (1-3) lost his third consecutive start despite striking out seven. The right-hander allowed a season-worst seven runs on six hits and two walks over 4 1/3 innings. Reds 6, Braves 4 Eugenio Suarez homered and drove in two runs, JJ Bleday had a pair of RBI doubles and host Cincinnati earned a victory over Atlanta. Nick Lodolo (2-1) went 6 2/3 innings, allowing three runs on five hits, striking out four and walking four. P.J. Higgins also drove in a run for the Reds, who snapped a three-game losing streak. Spencer Strider (3-1) took his first loss in his sixth start of the season, allowing four runs (three earned) on seven hits across five innings, striking out eight and walking two. Ronald Acuna Jr. homered and drove in two runs for Atlanta, which had its three-game winning streak snapped. It marked Acuna’s fourth straight game with a home run. Red Sox 9, Guardians 4 A six-run seventh inning propelled visiting Boston to a victory over Cleveland in the rubber match of a three-game series. The Red Sox trailed 4-3 entering the seventh and scored all six runs with two outs.

Yet he still had to put aside his nerves to finish the task. Henley birdied the first playoff hole with a putt from inside 5 feet to defeat Eric Cole and complete a comeback victory in Fort Worth, Texas. “This is why I practice hard … to come back to the playoff and do that, I’m still just kind of shaking,” Henley said. “That was as nervous as I’ve been over a putt in my whole life.” Henley shot 3-under-par 67 with birdies on the final three holes before beating Cole in the playoff. They were tied at 12-under 268. Cole, who shot 70 in the fourth round, failed to convert a 13-foot putt for birdie before Henley sank the winning putt when the duo replayed the par-4 No. 18 at Colonial Country Club. “The putt was good, I hit it pretty much where I was aiming, I just kind of misread it,” Cole said. “I thought it might start breaking left a little earlier.” Henley, now a six-time winner on the PGA Tour, won for the first time since the 2025 Arnold Palmer Invitational. “I think the longer you play this game, the more you want, you want more success and I feel like I’ve just worked harder and harder and I feel like I’ve been a little off just mentally this year, really,” Henley said. “Just feel like I just fought really hard through the end, so it just felt really good to see an awesome result.” Henley’s round began with an eagle on the par-5 first hole and a birdie on the next hole followed by three consecutive bogeys. He played Nos. 3-9 in 4 over before recovering. His tying birdie putt on No. 18 was from about 16 1/2 feet. He recalled “feeling a little jittery” on the front side. Then that changed. “I just kind of calmed down a little bit and started to hit some good shots, and felt like I was hitting good putts most of the day and they just went in at the end,” he said. Cole, the third-round leader, was bidding for his first victory on the PGA Tour. He had birdies on the first two holes but didn’t maintain the momentum and was hurt by a double bogey at No. 9. “I was proud with the way I played,” Cole said. “I think I played solid for the most part. I drove the ball pretty well. I just needed to shave a shot somewhere.” Defending champion Ben Griffin (65), Mac Meissner (69) and Alex Smalley (68) shared third place at 11 under. Meissner, playing in the last pairing with Cole, needed a birdie on No. 18 to join the playoff. Instead, his second shot ended up in a bunker and he scrambled for par. Griffin moved into second place by the midway mark of the round, catapulted by playing the front nine in 5 under. He was even par the rest of the way. Griffin’s 65 matched Steven Fisk for the best round of the day. “I felt like I was going to make a nice run when I woke up this morning,” Griffin said. “My game was trending in the right direction. It’s a course I have experience on and I kind of know what you have to do on Sunday here.” He nearly rolled in a 50-foot birdie putt on the last hole. J.J. Spaun (70), Gary Woodland (67), Michael Brennan (68) and Colombia’s Nico Echavarria (68) all tied for sixth place at 10 under. Brennan pulled into a share of the lead by mid-afternoon, but across his final seven holes, he had three bogeys and two birdies. Woodland was happy to move into contention. “I’m excited about where the game is at,” Woodland said. “I definitely didn’t get the most out of it this week, I played a lot better than what I scored, but happy with where it’s at.” England’s Jordan Smith, who led at the tournament’s midway mark, finished at 8 under and tied for 13th place after a final-round 68. ===== CELINE BOUTIER ENDS DROUGHT, LANDS SECOND CAREER SHOPRITE LPGA TITLE Celine Boutier fired a 5-under-par 66 with a pivotal long birdie putt down the stretch to pull out a one-shot victory for her second title at the ShopRite LPGA on Sunday in Galloway, N.J. The Frenchwoman posted a 9-under 204 for the three-round event at Seaview Hotel and Golf Club’s Bay Course. South Korea’s Soo Bin Joo held the lead overnight but stumbled with a double bogey and a bogey on the closing stretch to open the door for Boutier, who won the event in 2021. Boutier also hadn’t won in the United States since October 2023. “It’s definitely not what I expected, but it’s always good to be back,” said Boutier, who began the day four strokes behind. “I feel like I have some good memories and I’ve met some cool people throughout the years, so it’s been fun to come back. “And then have a chance to win today is definitely something very special. I think it’s great tournament, very special for me, so really excited to be able to have another win here.” Thailand’s Arpichaya Yubol played the back nine in 4-under 30 on her way to a round of 66, enough to take second place at 8 under. She’ll regret the lone bogey she made on the back nine, the par-4 16th, but was still content with second place. “I do my best on my way as I can,” Yubol said. “And it’s golf. Everything happen is happen. But I’m really happy, yeah.” Boutier started her round strong with birdies at Nos. 1 and 3, and she rebounded from a bogey at the par-3 seventh hole with consecutive birdies to close the front nine. She holed a third straight birdie at No. 10, and she was still tied for the lead with Joo when her approach at the par-4 14th landed much further from the pin than she’d have liked. But her long-range putt tracked perfectly to the cup. Boutier said she wasn’t sure why it had been so long since she last won, having broken through for four victories (including a major) in 2023. “I feel like I played solid the last two years,” she said. “Even though I didn’t get a win, I finished second a couple times last year, so there were good seasons even though there weren’t wins. It was a bit frustrating, and then this season I started off really slow; kind of struggled a lot of first half. So I’m very happy. I feel like my game has turned around the last few weeks.” Ireland’s Lauren Walsh capped a consistent performance with her best round of the week, a 67, to take third place at 7 under. Polly Mack of Germany (67), Chizzy Iwai of Japan (69) and Somi Lee of South Korea (69) tied for fourth at 6 under along with Joo, who posted 73. “I personally think I was really focusing on myself. I was trying to do my best to stay mentally calm, and I think I still got to work on that a little more,” Joo said of her Sunday. “But I’m ready to learn more.” ================================ AUTO RACING DENNY HAMLIN GETS 2ND WIN OF SEASON AT TIGHT CRACKER BARREL 400 Denny Hamlin started up front, immediately went to last and finished right back where he started Sunday night. Hamlin won a three-wide battle on the final lap and started the second half of the regular season with a victory Sunday night, topping Joe Gibbs Racing teammates Christopher Bell and Chase Briscoe in the Cracker Barrel 400 on Sunday night at Nashville Superspeedway in Lebanon, Tenn. In a four-lap shootout to decide the sixth race at the Tennessee track, Hamlin restarted third in his No. 11 Camry and raced side-by-side with Bell before clearing the No. 20 off Turn 2 and winning by 0.115 seconds to give Toyota its first win in the Music City. He joined Chase Elliott as two-time Cup Series winners this season, having also won at Las Vegas in March. Tyler Reddick leads the pack with five victories this season and has 657 points, with the 45-year-old Hamlin second in the standings, 97 points behind at 560. “I was just side-by-side with the 20 and he drove in so deep on that last lap into (Turn 1) that it just allowed me to barely clear him off of (Turn) 2,” said Hamlin, who overcame a Lap 1 penalty but rebounded to lead 57 laps for his 62nd career win. “Man, what an unbelievable day. Starting first, going to last and back to first.” Bell blamed himself after watching a replay of the three-wide skirmish. “I didn’t win the race, man,” Bell said after his fifth top-five finish of the season. “There is nothing to blame. I had the best car on the race track, and we had the lead on the restart. I got a great push from Denny on the restart, and we didn’t win the race.” Briscoe, Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Shane van Gisbergen completed the top five. Reddick was sixth and Elliott seventh. After the drivers waited through an hour-plus rain delay, Hamlin led the 38-car field in the 14th race of the 2026 campaign, a 300-lapper with a new obstacle: a green 1.333-mile concrete track after rain washed away plenty of grip. Hamlin made a mistake right away and was posted by NASCAR for jumping the race’s start. His car had to serve a penalty by coming down pit road under green, handing the top spot to points leader Reddick as the teams prepared for a short run to the Lap 35 competition caution. “I definitely jumped the start, no doubt about that,” Hamlin said. A few teams took two tires for track position, and Trackhouse Racing’s van Gisbergen restarted at the point. However, Kyle Larson soon grabbed the lead with Bell hounding him in second as the pair broke away from the field. With about 20 laps left in Stage 1, rookie Connor Zilisch hit the frontstretch wall hard and his No. 88 Chevrolet rode it through Turn 1 for the second caution. Ross Chastain, the 2023 Nashville winner, became the second Trackhouse Racing driver to have a right-front brake rotor fail when he wrecked with eight laps left in the segment. AJ Allmendinger notched his first stage win since 2024 when he beat Larson, Ryan Blaney, Elliott and Reddick in a two-lap dash to Lap 90. Larson led Briscoe in a two-car breakaway until Briscoe’s No. 19 Toyota finally passed the No. 5 Chevrolet on Lap 127. Daniel Suarez, last week’s winner of the Coca-Cola 600 crown jewel race, claimed Stage 2 over Alex Bowman, Stenhouse, Austin Cindric and Hamlin when caution seven flew. The Fords of Brad Keselowski and Cindric wrecked on the restart, setting up a 99-lap run with teammates Hamlin, Briscoe and Bell up front. ===== ALEX PALOU CAPTURES FOURTH WIN OF SEASON AT DETROIT GRAND PRIX Pole-sitter Alex Palou survived numerous restarts and captured his fourth win of the IndyCar season at the Detroit Grand Prix on Sunday. The 29-year-old Spaniard won by 3.0584 seconds at the 1.645-mile, nine-turn street circuit. Andretti Global’s Kyle Kirkwood finished second and Graham Rahal (Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing) captured third. Arrow McLaren teammates Pato O’Ward from Mexico and Christian Lundgaard of Denmark rounded out the top five. Palou now has 23 victories in 106 Indy Car starts. He has tied Tommy Milton for 20th all-time as he seeks his fourth consecutive and fifth overall series championship. The race featured six full-course cautions. Will Power, who would finish 22nd, took the lead on the Lap 18 and held it until Lap 35, when New Zealand’s Scott McLaughlin and Lundgaard briefly took turns as the race leader. Moments later, on Lap 40, Rahal was spun in Turn 3 by Palou’s Chip Ganassi Racing teammate Kyffin Simpson, causing the second caution of the race. Rahal dropped to 23rd, while Palou re-claimed the lead. On Lap 60, Palou held a 2.9-second lead over Kirkwood. He took a pit stop on Lap 63 — giving up the lead — but regained it when Kirkwood, McLaughlin and other frontrunners pitted on Lap 70. Palou held on for the remainder of the race. “It feels like the first time, honestly,” Palou said of his latest triumph. “It was a tough one, very tough one, but the team, they’ve done an incredible job once again with the strategy. Pit stops were incredible. … Incredible run, incredible start of the year.” Indy 500 champion Felix Rosenqvist finished in sixth place. After eight of ten races on the circuit, Palou has amassed 327 points, while second-place Kirkwood has 265. Team Penske’s David Malukas, who finished 18th, is third with 248 points. ================================ INDIANA SPORTS NEWS AND HEADLINES INDIANAPOLIS INDIANS José Urquidy allowed just two hits and one walk across 7.0 shutout innings as the Indianapolis Indians defeated the Iowa Cubs, 8-1, on Sunday afternoon at Victory Field. Indy split this week’s six-game series, 3-3, capturing the final two contests. Rafael Flores Jr. opened the scoring for Indianapolis (24-33), hitting an RBI triple off major league rehabber Matthew Boyd (L, 0-1) in the second inning. Two runs came in to score in the fifth inning on an RBI groundout from Termarr Johnson in which the ball was thrown away to plate the extra man. Davis Wendzel doubled home Esmerlyn Valdez in the sixth inning for a 4-0 advantage and Ronny Simon later brought home Nick Cimillo with a run-scoring knock in the seventh. Iowa (24-32) scored their lone run of the game on a double from Brett Bareman in the top of the eighth. Indy scored three more insurance runs in the bottom half. Urquidy (W, 2-3) was masterful over his 7.0 innings with Beau Burrows (1.0ip) and Isaac Mattson (1.0ip) finishing the contest from the bullpen. Boyd allowed three runs (2er) in 4.0 innings in his rehab appearance. The Indians have an off day on Monday before beginning a six-game road series with the St. Paul Saints, Triple-A affiliate of the Minnesota Twins, on Tuesday, June 2 at 8:07 PM ET. Starting pitchers for the series opener have not been named at this time. ================================ PURDUE MEN’S GOLF CARLSBAD, Calif. – The Purdue men’s golf team saved its best for last, posting its highest finish at the NCAA Championships since 2004, finishing 23rd after 54 holes at the Omni La Costa Resort and Spa. The Boilermakers totaled a 54-hole tally of 16-over par 880 (296-295-289) to place 23rd out of 30 teams, Purdue’s highest finish since placing 15th at the 2004 NCAA Championships. The Boilermakers entered the week as the No. 27 seed, surpassing its pre-tournament seed. Purdue’s 880 is also the lowest tournament score at the NCAA Championships since that 2004 season. Purdue missed the 54-hole cut by 14 shots, but finished higher than national powers Ole Miss (#9), Texas A&M (#20), Florida State (#26), USC (#28) and Louisville (#33). “I’m so proud of the guys. It was a great end to the season, by making the NCAA Championships, then playing their best round of the tournament today. Finishing 23rd with a young team says a lot about this team and this program,” said head coach Andrew Sapp. “I’m really looking forward to the future with these guys and think our best golf is ahead of us.” The Boilermakers finished the year with a stroke average of 284.79, a new school record by almost two strokes. Leading the way in round three was junior Sam Easterbrook, with a 4-under par 68. The junior from Tomworth, England, finished his three rounds in 3-under par 213 (72-73-68), advancing to Monday’s fourth and final round with a chance to earn All-America accolades. Easterbrook finished the day with the fourth-lowest round of the day and tied for the second-best round in NCAA Championships by a Boilermaker in school history. He recorded five birdies, one bogey and 12 pars, making par on his last eight holes of the day, three of which were three of the five hardest holes on the course during the tournament (12, 13 and 14). He now becomes the second Boilermaker in as many years, and third in six years, to reach the fourth round, after Supapon Amornchaichan finished T-9th a year ago. A finish in the top-15 would give Easterbrook All-America honors. The Boilermakers have had an All-American in three straight years (Herman Sekne – 2023, 2024; Supapon Amornchaichan – 2025). Easterbrook also set a school record on Sunday with his 25th round of even-par or better, surpassing the record of Lee Williamson (24 – 2002). Easterbrook has scored in the 60s in five of his last eight rounds, including in three rounds during NCAA competition this season. He also set a school record for birdies in a season with 145, surpassing the record he set last year (140). “What a round by Sam today in the afternoon in pressure-packed condititions,” added Sapp. “He needed to have a good round to advance, and he did that. Really proud of his performance this week.” Jenson Forrester also capped off his season in impressive fashion, finishing tied for 55th at 1-over par 217 (72-71-74). Forrester was in the running for a spot in the fourth round, but a double-bogey on hole 8 hurt his chances. However, Forrester posted his highest finish in three tries at the NCAA Championships. Kentaro Nanayama finished his career with a 117th-place finish at 9-over par 225 (76-76-73), playing his best round of the tournament on Sunday. Nanayama had a rough start with bogeys on his first three holes, but climbed to 1-under par through 11 holes. He then suffered a bogey-bogey-double bogey stretch to move back to 3-over par. Nanayama ended his career with birdies on his final two holes for a 1-over par 73. “Really proud of the finish Kentaro had today. He could have folded after his first three holes, then again after hole 14, but he battled all round,” said Sapp. “He wanted to go out on a high note and he did. We’re glad he came back for his fifth year and we are going to miss him next season. He has a bright future ahead of him.” Supapon Amornchaichan finished tied for 133rd at 11-over par 227 (76-75-76) and Will Harvey placed tied for 138th at 12-over par 228 (76-78-74). Harvey finished the year with a 72.34 stroke average, the lowest for a Purdue freshman in school history by over half-a-stroke. Easterbrook will tee off round four on Monday, starting at 3:42 p.m. ET, off hole 10. ================================ PURDUE WRESTLING GENEVA, Ohio — Purdue’s group of six wrestlers representing the Boilermaker Regional Training Center combined for 12 wins at U23 Nationals and U20 World Team Trials over the weekend. All six Boilermakers wrestled in the freestyle division at the annual event hosted by USA Wrestling inside Spire Academy. Isaiah Quintero (57 kg) tied for the team lead with four wins, advancing to the Round of 16 before his first loss, and to the Consolation Quarterfinals before finally dropping out of the double-elimination bracket. Two of those wins came via 10-0 and 11-0 technical falls. Dominic Burgett (125 kg) also picked up four wins as a heavyweight. He opened with Purdue’s only pin of the weekend and notched two tech falls and a decision before falling in the Consolation Sub-Round of 16. Ashton Jackson (57 kg) also took care of business in his first-round match. Jackson racked up a pair of tech falls as well before bowing out in the Consolation Sub-Round of 16. Quinn Herbert (86 kg) secured a 10-0 tech fall in just 49 seconds and Noah Weaver (92 kg) advanced via medical forfeiture. Isaiah Schaefer (65 kg), the only Purdue wrestler competing in the U20 World Team Trials, suffered two decision losses in the cutthroat field against the nation’s top young stars. He made it that far thanks to becoming a Fargo Junior All-American in both freestyle and Greco-Roman and after placing eighth at the U.S. Open in April.

Saturday marked the last day of competition in Lexington. Next up will be the 2026 NCAA Outdoor Championships, June 10-13 in Eugene, Oregon. Notre Dame will have three representatives in Eugene: Obiora Okeke (shot put), Amaya Aramini (10,000m) and Sophie Novak (3000m Steeplechase). Sophie Novak punched her ticket to Eugene as she won her heat and placed third overall with a time of 9:42.68. Novak will be in action again in Eugene in the 3000m Steeplechase semifinal race. Rosie Murcharsky put together a strong effort with a time of 10:03.81, placing 14th, just two away from the top 12 cut to Eugene. Reese Sanders set a personal best time of 57.31 in the 400m hurdles, placing 16th. Gretchen Farley finished 22nd in the 1,500m with a time of 4:19.32 Women’s 1,500m 22.

May you find comfort and strength during this challenging moment,” the school wrote in a social media post. Yates-Lyons was among three victims of a shooting at a parking garage on May 24 in Tallahassee, Florida. He was caught in the crossfire and taken to a hospital in critical condition, according to the Tallahassee Democrat. He died Saturday. He had finished his education at Lowndes County High School in Georgia early and enrolled at Ball State in January. He had returned to attend his graduation ceremony, which took place the day before he was shot, according to the Muncie Star Press. =============================== INDIANA COLLEGE SPORTS WEB SITES UINDY ATHLETICS: https://athletics.uindy.edu/ MARIAN ATHLETICS: https://muknights.com/ INDIANA WESLEYAN ATHLETICS: https://iwuwildcats.com/ EARLHAM ATHLETICS: https://goearlham.com/ WABASH ATHLETICS: https://sports.wabash.edu/ FRANKLIN ATHLETICS: https://franklingrizzlies.com/ ROSE-HULMAN ATHLETICS: https://athletics.rose-hulman.edu/ ANDERSON ATHLETICS: https://athletics.anderson.edu/landing/index TRINE ATHLETICS: https://trinethunder.com/landing/index BETHEL ATHLETICS: https://bupilots.com/ DEPAUW ATHLETICS: https://depauwtigers.com/ HANOVER ATHLETICS: https://athletics.hanover.edu/ MANCHESTER ATHLETICS: https://muspartans.com/ HUNTINGTON ATHLETICS: https://www.huathletics.com/ OAKLAND CITY ATHLETICS: https://gomightyoaks.com/index.aspx ST.

Coincidentally, new ticket-selling machines are also introduced. 1910 – The St. Louis Cardinals defeat the Philadelphia Phillies, 10 – 5, before a chilly crowd of 800 fans at National League Park. It is the 14th loss for the Phillies in their last 15 games. The Cardinals are paced by leadoff hitter Miller Huggins, who has no official at bats in six plate appearances, the first time this has ever happened in major league history. Huggins walks in his first three at-bats, hits a sacrifice fly and a sacrifice bunt in the next two, and walks with the bases loaded in the 8th inning to drive in the lead run. At the end of the season, Huggins will lead the National League with 116 walks. 1917 – Hank Gowdy of the Boston Braves became the first major leaguer to enlist in World War I. Gowdy will also serve in World War II. 1918 – Losing 5 – 4 against the Yankees, the Chicago White Sox load the bases in the 9th inning with no outs. Chick Gandil lines a shot to third baseman Frank Baker, who turns it into a game-ending triple play. 1923 – Scoring in every inning, the New York Giants beat the Philadelphia Phillies at the Baker Bowl, 22 – 8. It is the first time in 20th century a team has scored in every inning. 1925 – Lou Gehrig of the New York Yankees pinch-hits for Pee Wee Wanninger, beginning his streak of playing in 2,130 consecutive games. The next day, first baseman Wally Pipp shows up with the after-effects of a concussion, and Gehrig takes over. 1937 – Bill Dietrich of the Chicago White Sox pitches a no-hitter against the St. Louis Browns in an 8 – 0 win. 1941 – Mel Ott hits a two-run home run, the 400th of his major league career and his 1,499th and 1,500th RBI, helping the New York Giants to a 3 – 2 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. 1943 – Rip Sewell of the Pittsburgh Pirates patents his “eephus” or “blooper ball” pitch, which travels as high as 25 feet above the ground before dropping into the strike zone. Sewell will use the pitch on his way to a twenty-win campaign. 1944 – Washington Senators outfielder Stan Spence goes 6 for 6 in an 11 – 5 win over the St. Louis Browns. Spence, who collects five singles and a home run, will finish the season with a .316 batting average and career highs in home runs (18) and runs batted in (100). 1951 – The Pittsburgh Pirates waive first baseman Dale Long to the St. Louis Browns, who send him to the San Francisco Seals of the Pacific Coast League. Long will be back in Pittsburgh for the 1955 season. 1954 – Montreal Royals outfielder Roberto Clemente is discovered by Pirates scout Clyde Sukeforth. Clemente is the Brooklyn Dodgers’ five-tool farmhand. Sukeforth is not primarily a scout but rather the Pirates’ pitching coach on special assignment in Richmond to scout newly-demoted Dodger hurler Joe Black. Unfortunately for the Dodgers, the first thing Sukeforth sees is Clemente. From this moment forward, despite Dodger GM Buzzie Bavasi’s desperate manoeuvering, his prize prospect is lost. As Sukeforth himself will later tell Les Biederman of The Sporting News: “I saw Clemente and forgot all about Black. I arrived at the Richmond ball park just in time to see the pre-game workout. I saw Clemente throwing from the outfield and I couldn’t take my eyes off him. Later in the game he was used as a pinch-hitter and I liked his swing. I started asking questions and learned he was a bonus player and would be eligible for the draft. Since the Pirates had first choice, I knew this would be our man. In fact, I told manager Max Macon to take good care of ‘our boy’ and see that he didn’t get hurt.” 1955 – Duke Snider hits three home runs at Ebbets Field, helping the Brooklyn Dodgers to an 11 – 8 victory over the Milwaukee Braves. The Dodgers also set a franchise record with six home runs. 1961 – Braves rookie Joe Torre rounds first base after getting a hit to right field in the 6th inning, but the Pirates’ Roberto Clemente picks up the ball, fakes a throw to second and throws it so fast behind Torre at first base that he is caught and tagged out. “It was my most embarrassing moment on the field,” he will later explain. The Pirates win, 8-2, in a game called in the 7th inning after a downpour. 1965 – Bob Veale of the Pittsburgh Pirates sets a franchise record by striking out 16 batters in the 4 – 0 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. It is the 12th consecutive victory for Pittsburgh. 1968 – Joe Hoerner of the St. Louis Cardinals ties the National League record for most consecutive strikeouts by a relief pitcher. Horner strikes out the final six batters he faces and earns the win in a 6 – 5 victory over the New York Mets. 1975 – The California Angels’ Nolan Ryan’s 100th career victory is a memorable one as he beats the Baltimore Orioles, 1 – 0, and ties Sandy Koufax’s big league mark by pitching his fourth no-hitter. 1977 – Ruppert Jones of the Seattle Mariners hits a home run off Dennis Eckersley in the 5th inning to snap Eckersley’s no-hit string of 22 1/3 innings, just two outs short of the major league record set by Cy Young. The Indians beat Seattle, 7 – 1. 1978 – Senior righthander Kevin Mendon of Emporia State University throws the first nine-inning no-hitter in the history of the NAIA College World Series. Facing elimination, Emporia State beats Missouri Southern State College, 2 – 0, in the fourth round of the 1978 NAIA College World Series, and will go on to win the tournament against the same team in the title game two days from now. 1987 – Phil Niekro pitches the Cleveland Indians to a 9 – 6 victory, his 314th, over the Detroit Tigers. The win gives him and his brother, Joe, a major league record 530 combined victories, surpassing the mark set by the Perry brothers, Gaylord and Jim. 1992 – Devon White of the Toronto Blue Jays becomes just the sixth player in major league history to hit both a leadoff home run and an extra-inning homer in the same game. He also became the 56th switch-hitter in the majors to homer from both sides of the plate in the same game. Toronto defeats the Minnesota Twins, 5 – 3. 1995 – In the amateur draft, the California Angels select Darin Erstad with the first overall pick. He will sign for a $1.6 million bonus, the highest to date. Picking next, the San Diego Padres select Ben Davis, the Seattle Mariners pick Jose Cruz, Jr., and the Chicago Cubs follow with Kerry Wood. 1997 – At Dolphin Stadium, Colorado Rockies rookie pitcher John Thomson bats his first four major league hits, collects three RBI, and earns his first win, 9 – 2, over the Florida Marlins. 2000: Tomo Ohka of the Pawtucket Red Sox becomes the third pitcher in the 117-year history of the International League to throw a nine-inning perfect game when he beats the Charlotte Knights, 2 – 0. As owners struggle over the question of realignment, the Players Association suggests a simpler plan which only moves the Houston Astros from the NL Central to the AL West, thus creating two 15-team leagues. The owners’ ideas would have the newest franchises, the Tampa Bay Devil Rays and Arizona Diamondbacks, switch leagues, the elimination of the National League wild card, and the AL Central consisting of six teams to go along with six divisions with only four teams – four of them in the NL. In the end, the status quo will prevail, but the Players Association’s plan will eventually be implemented in 2013. 2001 – At Yankee Stadium, Cleveland defeats New York in just five and a half innings, when the game is called because of rain with Cleveland ahead, 7 – 2. In a rarity, Cleveland starter C.C. Sabathia earns a win despite pitching only four innings. Relief pitcher Ricardo Rincón gets the save for retiring the side in the 5th inning. The rules state that in a five-inning game, a starter need not go the full five innings to earn a victory. There have just been five other cases since 1978 to match Sabathia’s feat. 2005 – Miguel Tejada hits a home run, three doubles and scores three runs to lead the Baltimore Orioles to a 9 – 3 victory over the Boston Red Sox. 2007 – Phillip Wellman, manager of the Mississippi Braves, becomes the focus of national press coverage and internet discussion when he throws an epic tirade against an umpire. 2009 – The Yankees play their 18th straight game without an error, breaking the record held by the 2006 Boston Red Sox. 2010: Illinois Wesleyan University wins its first national title, topping SUNY Cortland, 17 – 5, in the finale of the Division III College World Series. They finished the regular season only 19-19 and dropped 21 games overall during the campaign, a record for any college national titlist. Bob Watson, Major League Baseball vice-president in charge of discipline, issues a rare blame directed at an umpire regarding an ejection. Watson states that pitcher Roy Oswalt will face no further action following his ejection from a game on May 31st, but that umpire Bill Hohn “would be addressed in a stern way”. Oswalt had yelled at himself in disgust after throwing a ball in the 3rd inning and was immediately tossed by Hohn. Victor Martinez goes 5 for 5 with four doubles in Boston’s 9 – 4 win over Oakland. He ties the major league record for doubles in a game by a catcher, set by Sandy Alomar in 1997. Tampa Bay scores four runs in the 9th inning on only one hit – a bases-loaded double by Sean Rodriguez – to beat Toronto, 7 – 6. Jays closer Kevin Gregg issues five walks and throws a wild pitch in the inning, then is ejected by umpire Angel Hernandez for complaining about his calls. His ouster follows shortly after that of Rays manager Joe Maddon, thrown out for disputing a third strike call on Carlos Pena earlier in the inning. The Jays come within an inch of tying the game in the bottom of the 9th, when a drive by Vernon Wells hits the top of the outfield fence but bounces back on the field. Scott Rolen hits two homers and a double and drives in four runs against his former team as Cincinnati defeats St. Louis, 9 – 8, in a wild game that leaves the Reds in sole possession of first place in the NL Central. Also swinging a hot bat is Joey Votto, who collects four hits including a homer, but Johnny Cueto blows leads of 3 – 0 and 7 – 3. It takes a sacrifice fly by Drew Stubbs against Blake Hawksworth in the 7th to decide the game in Cincinnati’s favor. DOOR Neptunus’s record winning streak in the Hoofdklasse ends at 23 games as Kinheim beats them, 10 – 9. Rafaël Jozefa hits a grand slam for the winners and Michiel van Kampen gets the victory while Kevin Heijstek takes the loss. 2011: After earning 15 wins before the All-Star break last year, the Rockies’ Ubaldo Jimenez finally notches win number one this season with a 3 – 0 shutout of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Todd Helton homers in support of his four-hitter. Major League Baseball announces changes to the format of the World Baseball Classic for its 2013 edition. The tournament will be preceded by a 16-team qualifying tournament, to be held in the Fall of 2012. Taking part will be the four teams that failed to win a game in 2009 – Canada, Panama, Taiwan and South Africa – and 12 teams that have recently played in the Baseball World Cup, including Colombia and Nicaragua, who had been excluded from the first two editions of the WBC in spite of a solid tradition of international play. The four winners from the qualifying tournament will advance to the main event the following spring. The Blue Jays hit three triples in a row courtesy of Eric Thames, Rajai Davis and Jayson Nix in the 5th inning against Cleveland. No team had done that in the majors since the 1981 Expos. 2012: Johan Santana throws the first no-hitter in the 50-year history of the New York Mets when he defeats the Cardinals, 8 – 0. He walks five and needs 134 pitches to complete the game; he is helped by a great catch by Mike Baxter, who crashes into the fence at full speed and hurts himself in snagging Yadier Molina’s line drive in the 7th. The Mets had played 8,120 games before their first no-hitter, while there had been 131 MLB no-hitters since they debuted. Alfredo Despaigne wins the Serie Nacional MVP for the third time in four years. He set a new home run record (36) in 2011-2012 and also led the league in both walks (91) and RBI (105). Vladimir García is named postseason MVP while Carlos Juan Viera takes home the Rookie of the Year Award. Despaigne joins Wilfredo Sánchez and Omar Linares as the only three-time Cuban MVPs of the Castro era; Martin Dihigo had won four back in the Cuban Winter League era. Tennessee Wesleyan College wins the NAIA College World Series for the school’s first national title in any sport. They top Rogers State University, 10 – 6, in the finale. Trailing 6 – 2 after 3 innings, Tennessee Wesleyan hurlers allowed no further runs. They go ahead for good in the bottom of the 8th on a two-run single by Jake Stone and Taylor Oldham follows with a three-run homer. 2014 – It’s a new month but some of May’s brightest stars keep on shining as the Blue Jays shut out the Royals, 4 – 0. Mark Buehrle, who tosses eight scoreless innings, is the first major league pitcher to notch ten wins this season, while Edwin Encarnacion, who hit 16 homers in May, hits a two-run shot. Six of the 15 games played today end in shutouts, with Roenis Elias of the Mariners and Kyle Lohse of the Brewers throwing complete game whitewashes. 2015 – The Pirates win for the ninth time in 11 games thanks to help from one of their fans on the road. Playing the Giants at AT&T Park, the Bucs are up 4 – 3 in the 8th when Buster Posey lifts a fly ball towards foul territory in right field; RF Gregory Polanco goes out near the stands to attempt a catch, but, Steve Bartman-like, a fan wearing a Pirates cap and jersey reaches out and deflects the ball into the stands, accidentally hitting Polanco in the process. After a video review, umpire Doug Eddings calls Posey out on fan interference, ending the inning. Things don’t end well for the fan, though, since he is ejected for interfering with a ball in play. 2016: Indians OF Marlon Byrd is suspended for 162 games following the second positive test for PEDs of his career. At 39, it marks the end of the former All-Star’s career. Mookie Betts follows his three-homer game of the previous day by hitting home runs in his first two at-bats against the Orioles, giving him five home runs in seven at-bats. The Red Sox hit three other long balls in the game, including a pair by Chris Young, while the Orioles hit none, but Boston still goes down, 13 – 9. 2017 – The first-place Brewers defeat the struggling Mets, 2 – 1, behind a strong pitching performance by Chase Anderson who tosses seven scoreless innings. There is an unusual play in the 4th inning: with the bases loaded and one out, Milwaukee’s Eric Sogard lifts a pop-up near the third base line. The Mets’ batboy tries to get out of the way, taking his chair with him, but in doing so impedes 3B Wilmer Flores’ path to the ball. Third base umpire Fieldin Culbreth first calls the batter out, but the umpires reverse themselves after conferring, as there is no provision in the rules for “batboy interference”. Manager Terry Collins comes out to argue and is ejected, but he shouldn’t have bothered, as Sogard then grounds into an inning-ending double play. 2018 – Pitcher Danny Farquhar returns to the mound only six weeks after suffering a life-threatening brain aneurysm on April 20th. Granted, he only throws the ceremonial first pitch for the White Sox before their game against the Brewers at Guaranteed Rate Field surrounded by his family and some of the staff from the RUSH University Medical Center, but his appearance is an important step in the recovery process. The entire team comes to the mound to witness the pitch, in support of their stricken comrade. 2021: The Orioles bring an end to a brutal 14-game losing streak with a 7 – 4 win over the Twins. Bruce Zimmermann, who had been the last Orioles pitcher to win a game back on May 16th, is the winning pitcher again. The O’s also snap a 16-game losing streak against the Twins dating back to the 2018 season with the win, and snap out of a 2-21 funk following John Means’ no-hitter over the Mariners on May 5th. Olympic hopes end for three countries. Puerto Rico falls, 7 – 6, in ten innings to Nicaragua in the Americas Olympic Qualifier, as Benjamín Alegría doubles twice, scores twice and drives in a run while Norman St. Clair and Berman Espinoza turn in six shutout innings of relief. Venezuela walks it off to eliminate Colombia as Diego Rincones breaks a 2 – 2 tie in the bottom of the 9th with a solo shot off Carlos Ocampo. Canada eliminates Cuba, which will miss the Olympics for its first time as a medal event, 6 – 5, as John Axford (now working as a broadcaster) saves it for Dustin Molleken to overcome three runs by Roel Santos. In the other game, Team USA locks up a spot in the semifinals with an 8 – 6 win over the Dominican national team, Luke Williams hitting a big two-run triple. Nicaragua and the Dominicans will play tomorrow for the last semifinal spot to join the US, Canada and Venezuela. 2022 – In the second game of a doubleheader, Brendan Rodgers has the first multi-homer game of his career to lead the Rockies over the Marlins, 13 – 12, in a wild contest. Rodgers ends the game with a walk-off blast off Cole Sulser with a runner on second base, his third long ball of the game.
