BRUNSON SCORES 45, AND NEW YORK TOPS SPURS FOR TITLE SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Jalen Brunson and the Comeback Knicks did it again. And now they’re the Champion Knicks. For the first time in 53 years, New York rules the NBA. Brunson scored 45 points, including 13 straight for New York in the fourth quarter, and the Knicks beat the San Antonio Spurs 94-90 in Game 5 of the NBA Finals on Saturday night. The Knicks won the series 4-1, rallying from double-digit deficits in all four of those victories. The deficit was 16 on Saturday night. Brunson and the Knicks were never fazed. “I have no words,” Brunson, the NBA Finals MVP, said during the on-court celebration. “It’s everything I ever dreamed of.” Brunson, fittingly, closed with a flourish. He set a Knicks record for points in a finals game; it had been 38 by Willis Reed against the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 3 of the 1970 series. It now belongs to the left-handed point guard who changed the franchise’s fortunes when he arrived four years ago. “It’s surreal,” Knicks coach Mike Brown, who was hired a year ago — making him the franchise’s 24th coach since the franchise’s last championship in 1973. “I still can’t believe it’s happened.” New York Knicks fans celebrate their victory after Game 5 of the NBA Finals basketball series against the San Antonio Spurs, Saturday, June 13, 2026, in New York.

(AP Photo/Heather Khalifa) After 53 years, the New York Knicks are NBA champions. And the wait sure seemed worth it Mikal Bridges and Josh Hart — the other two parts of the “Nova Knicks” trio that also includes Brunson, three players who were NCAA champions at Villanova and teamed up in New York to try to do the same — combined to score 27 points. Bridges had 14, Hart 13. “I don’t know what I’m feeling,” Brunson said. “I’m in awe. Whenever someone counted us out, we found a way to come back and do something about it.” Dylan Harper scored 25 for the Spurs, who got 19 points, 14 rebounds and five blocked shots from Victor Wembanyama. “This is the biggest lesson of my life, the biggest learning moment,” Wembanyama said. “I can’t tell exactly what the lesson is, but we’re learning.” The Knicks improved to 4-0 in closeout opportunities this season, winning them all on the road. It didn’t feel like the road, though — not with thousands of New York faithful having made the trip to Texas to see a moment 53 years in the making. The Knicks rallied from a 16-point deficit to beat the Spurs in San Antonio in Game 5 of the NBA Finals, turning pensive crowds euphoric at watch parties outside the team’s Madison Square Garden arena and in parks and streets across the city. And back home, on the streets of the Big Apple, celebrations broke out everywhere. Fireworks lit up the night sky, people honked horns on jampacked streets and firefighters — from their trucks — slapped high-fives with delirious fans. “HISTORY,” New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani wrote on social media, then added that the Knicks’ championship parade will be Thursday. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani celebrated the Knicks win in a bar on Manhattan’s Canal Street on Saturday night. For the first time in 53 years, New York rules the NBA, with Jalen Brunson scoring 45 points, including 13 straight for New York in the fourth quarter. New York got to the brink of this title by rallying from 29 points down in Game 4 to win 107-106 on OG Anunoby’s tip-in with 1.2 seconds left on Wednesday night. It was the largest comeback in NBA Finals history and the biggest comeback in any game this season, regular season or playoffs. By comparison, then, a 16-point rally in this one seemed easy. And San Antonio had to shuffle off into the offseason, listening to Knicks fans celebrating in their building. “We weren’t ready to win an NBA championship,” Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said. “The better team won. We did a lot of good things, and we didn’t finish the job. That’s what it is.” The game followed the same script in the opening minutes as all the others in the series, with the Spurs taking a double-digit lead in the first quarter and then frittering most of it away in the second quarter. The Spurs became the first team in the play-by-play era, which started in the 1996-97 season, to lead five finals games by 10 points or more in first quarters. The Knicks simply could not make a shot, missing on 16 of their first 18 tries and each of their first 11 two-point attempts. There even was a point in the second quarter when Wembanyama had more blocked shots (five) than the Knicks had made shots (four). San Antonio’s lead was as many as 10 in the first quarter, as many as 16 in the second. Of course, none of it mattered much. As always, the Knicks came back. A 22-9 run in the second quarter got New York within three, before Devin Vassell scored just before the halftime buzzer to give San Antonio a 42-37 edge at the break. And that capped an opening 24 minutes of either offensive ineptitude or defensive prowess, depending on perspective. The 79 combined points in the first half were the lowest in a finals game since Game 7 of Lakers-Celtics in 2010, and the combined 31.8% field goals shooting by the Knicks and Spurs was the lowest in the first half of a finals game in the play-by-play era. Brunson won NCAA crowns twice with Villanova — both in Texas, the 2016 one in Houston and the 2018 one in San Antonio, just a few miles away from the arena that the Spurs call home. A Texas three-step of titles, and this one was surely the sweetest of all. “It’s why I came to New York,” Brunson said. =============================== BASEBALL MLB ROUNDUP: GUARDIANS SPOIL RETURN OF TIGERS ACE TARIK SKUBAL Daniel Schneemann hit a two-run homer off Tarik Skubal, spoiling the American League Cy Young Award winner’s return from left elbow surgery, as the Cleveland Guardians beat the visiting Detroit Tigers 3-1 on Saturday afternoon. Skubal (3-3), making his first start since April 29, pitched 4 2/3 innings and allowed three runs, two earned, on five hits. The impending free agent struck out four, walked one and hit a batter while throwing 80 pitches. Guardians starter Joey Cantillo (5-3) retired the final nine batters he faced in a five-inning, one-run outing. The lefty gave up six hits and struck out four without issuing a walk, winning for the first time since May 21 at the Tigers. Schneemann gave Cleveland a 3-1 lead in the third with his 417-foot shot to right field, scoring Jose Ramirez, who left the game later and is set to be placed on the injured list with a broken hamate bone in his left hand. Dillon Dingler singled in Gleyber Torres in the first for the Tigers, but gifted the Guardians the tying run in the second by throwing the ball into left field on an attempted steal of third base by Travis Bazzana. Dodgers 7, White Sox 1 Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s no-hit and shutout bids were broken up by Tristan Peters’ homer leading off the bottom of the ninth, but Los Angeles cruised past host Chicago. Yamamoto (7-4) only allowed the home run, did not walk a batter and struck out seven in 8 1/3 innings. He retired the first 23 White Sox batters. Max Muncy hit two two-run homers, was 3-for-3 to lead the onslaught. Shohei Ohtani homered, scored two runs and walked three times while Kyle Tucker drove in two runs for the Dodgers. White Sox starter Sean Burke (3-4) gave up four runs on six hits in four innings with five walks and six strikeouts. Chicago had its eight-game home winning streak snapped. Cardinals 9, Twins 6 Ivan Herrera hit two home runs, with the second sparking a five-run seventh inning for St. Louis, which posted a victory over Minnesota in Minneapolis. The Cardinals broke a 4-4 tie with a five-run outburst in as many batters in the seventh. After Herrera and Jordan Walker delivered back-to-back two-out solo homers, Blaze Jordan capped the inning with his first major league long ball, a three-run shot. Matt Svanson (2-1) was perfect in 1 2/3 innings of relief for the Cardinals. Royce Lewis hit his third home run in his last four games for the Twins. Byron Buxton hit his 22nd home run and Luke Keaschall added a two-run shot. Justin Lawrence (0-3) struck out the first two Cardinals he faced in the seventh before allowing four of the five runs. Padres 9, Orioles 3 Jackson Merrill and Samad Taylor hit two-run home runs in the first inning as San Diego posted a victory against host Baltimore. Gavin Sheets, Rodolfo Duran and Manny Machado also homered as part of San Diego’s five-homer outburst while starter Randy Vasquez (6-4) brushed off a rough first inning to pick up the victory. Taylor finished with three of the team’s 10 hits and recorded three RBIs. Pete Alonso homered, provided a run-scoring double and came a triple short of the cycle. Blaze Alexander also notched three hits for the Orioles, who had a three-game winning streak end. Yankees 3, Blue Jays 1 Paul Goldschmidt hit a two-run home run in the ninth inning and visiting New York defeated Toronto. Louis Varland (3-2) allowed Cody Bellinger’s bloop single to center to open the ninth. Goldschmidt followed by smashing an 0-1 knuckle curve to left for his ninth home run of the season. David Bednar struck out the side in the home ninth to earn his 14th save, as the Yankees earned a split of the first two games of the three-game series. Fernando Cruz (4-1) survived three walks in the eighth to get the win. Kazuma Okamoto hit a solo homer for the Blue Jays. Pirates 3, Marlins 2 Spencer Horwitz’s bases-loaded hit by pitch in the eighth inning was the difference as host Pittsburgh beat Miami. Tyler Callihan and Jake Mangum tagged Anthony Bender (1-1) for singles and then Jared Triolo drew a walk to bring Horwitz to the plate, whom Bender plunked with the first pitch of the at-bat to give the Pirates the lead. The victory was just the second in the past eight games for Pittsburgh. Yohan Ramirez (4-2) allowed the first two hitters he faced to reach base in the top of the eighth, but he escaped the jam with no runs allowed. The loss snapped a season-best string of six straight victories for the Marlins, whose scoring came in the form of a pair of RBI singles by Liam Hicks and Heriberto Hernandez. Otto Lopez was 2-for-3 with a walk. Red Sox 6, Rangers 3 Ceddanne Rafaela hit a go-ahead two-run single in the seventh inning to lead Boston to a win over visiting Texas. Jarren Duran hit a two-run home run and Rafaela had two hits and two RBIs. Isiah Kiner-Falefa had two hits and two runs and Willson Contreras was 2-for-4 with a double for the Red Sox. Garrett Whitlock (4-1) earned the win with a scoreless inning of relief, striking out one. Aroldis Chapman threw a scoreless ninth for his 14th save. Jake Burger hit his 12th home run, Wyatt Langford was 3-for-5 with an RBI and Nicky Lopez had two hits for the Rangers. Nationals 8, Mariners 3 Luis Garcia Jr. hit a tie-breaking two-run homer in the fifth inning and Washington defeated visiting Seattle. CJ Abrams had three hits, drove in two runs and scored twice for the Nationals, who had lost two straight. Starter Cade Cavalli (4-4) picked up the win, allowing three runs on four hits over five innings. The Mariners capped off a game-tying three-run fifth with Colt Emerson’s second homer in as many days and sixth of the season. Luis Castillo (2-6) gave up five runs (two earned) on seven hits in 5 2/3 innings. Reds 2, Diamondbacks 1 Noelvi Marte blasted a tie-breaking solo home run in the eighth and Cincinnati held on for a win against visiting Arizona in the second game of their three-game series. Juan Morillo (1-3) replaced Diamondbacks starter Michael Soroka to start the eighth and served up Marte’s second home run of the season to left-center field with one out to break the 1-1 tie. Reds starter Rhett Lowder went 5 2/3 innings, allowing one run and five hits while striking out six and walking two. Caleb Ferguson and Chase Petty (1-1) combined for 2 1/3 scoreless innings of relief before Tony Santillan closed in the ninth for his third save. Cincinnati had dropped seven of eight. Braves 3, Mets 1 Martin Perez continued his resurgence by giving up one run over 5 1/3 innings, and Atlanta edged host New York in the middle game of a three-game series between the National League East rivals. Eli White went 3-for-4 with a homer and two RBIs, while Michael Harris II homered in the eighth for the Braves, who snapped a three-game losing streak. Perez (5-3) gave up one run on four hits and one walk while striking out four over 5 1/3 innings. Mark Vientos had a sixth-inning RBI single for the Mets, who fell to 2-3 on a homestand slated to conclude Sunday. New York starter Sean Manaea (1-2), who made his first 14 appearances this season out of the bullpen, allowed two runs on four hits and no walks while striking out six over six innings. Phillies 9, Brewers 8 J.T. Realmuto homered and drove in four runs as Philadelphia held on for a road victory over Milwaukee. Kyle Schwarber, Brandon Marsh, Edmundo Sosa and Realmuto had three hits apiece for the Phillies, who registered a season-high 17 hits after getting one-hit by Brewers ace Jacob Misiorowski on Friday. Bryson Stott contributed two hits, two RBIs and two runs. Left-hander Tim Mayza (2-1) allowed one hit in one-third inning and earned the win for Philadelphia, which has captured eight of its last 11 games. Jackson Chourio homered twice as part of a 4-for-5 night for Milwaukee. Garrett Mitchell also homered for the Brewers, while William Contreras had three hits for the hosts. Shane Drohan (3-2) was charged with four runs and eight hits in five-plus frames. Angels 8, Rays 0 Jo Adell went 4-for-5 with a double and three runs scored, and Jose Siri hit a two-run homer as Los Angeles pounded out 15 hits in an 8-0 victory over Tampa Bay in Anaheim, Calif. Denzer Guzman went 2-for-4 with three RBIs and a run scored, and Donovan Walton had a double and three hits with two RBIs. Nolan Schanuel also had two hits and two runs scored for the Angels, who won their fourth straight and for the fifth time in six games. Jose Soriano (8-4) allowed three hits, walked two and struck out five. Rays starter Griffin Jax (1-5) suffered the loss despite allowing just one unearned run on five hits over five innings while striking out five without a walk. The victory clinched the second straight home series win for Los Angeles, the first time that has happened since June 5-11, 2025, against Seattle and the Athletics. Athletics 7, Rockies 5 Zack Gelof homered and singled to extend his hitting streak to 17 games and the surging Athletics beat Colorado in Las Vegas. Alika Williams had three hits, Henry Bolte had two hits and Jose Suarez (1-2) tossed 1 2/3 innings of relief for the A’s, who have won four straight in their first homestand at their future home city. Elvis Alvarado got the final three outs for his second save. Brett Sullivan homered and TJ Rumfield and Troy Johnston had two hits each for the Rockies, who have lost three in a row and seven of nine. Starter Kyle Freeland (1-7) allowed six runs on 10 hits over 5 2/3 innings. Astros 8, Royals 7 Christian Walker hit one of Houston’s four homers and reached on a fielder’s choice that allowed the tiebreaking run to score in the ninth in a win over host Kansas City. Jose Altuve, Jake Meyers, Brice Matthews and Walker homered for the Astros, while Yordan Alvarez had three hits. In the ninth, the Astros had runners on first and third with one out when Alex Lange (0-4) got Walker to bounce into a potential 6-4-3 double play, but second baseman Nick Loftin’s throw was wide of first, allowing the go-ahead run to score. Bryan King (1-1) pitched a scoreless with a strikeout. Carter Jensen’s three-run double in the sixth gave the Royals a 7-5 edge. Kansas City’s Bobby Witt Jr. doubled, for his third hit, in the ninth, but he was doubled off second on Isaac Collins’ liner to end the game. Cubs 6, Giants 1 Pete Crow-Armstrong hit the first pitch of the game for a home run, Ben Brown beefed up his All-Star credentials with five solid innings and visiting Chicago thumped San Francisco for a second straight win in their three-game series. Rookie Pedro Ramirez smacked his first career homer and Ian Happ added a third for the Cubs, who also had four doubles amongst their 11 hits. Brown (3-2) pitched into and out of trouble for 15 outs, limiting the Giants to one run despite serving up seven hits and three walks. San Francisco went 0-for-7 in the game with runners in scoring position, all while Brown was on the mound. The Giants’ only run came in the third when Drew Gilbert walked and came around on a Luis Arraez triple. Trevor McDonald (2-4) was charged with four runs on six hits in 3 2/3 innings. =============================== GOLF IOWAN ZACH JOHNSON FIRES 63, SHARES LEAD IN DES MOINES Zach Johnson fired a 9-under-par 63 and joined Brett Quigley and first round co-leader Scott Hend of Australia at the top of the leaderboard after two rounds at the Principal Charity Classic on Saturday in Des Moines, Iowa. Johnson recorded the low round of the tournament and sits at 12-under along with Quigley and Hend. Six players are within two shots of the lead. South Africa’s Retief Goosen, who carded a 64, Denmark’s Soren Kjeldsen (65) and Australian David Bransdon (66) are at 11-under, while Doug Barron (67), Spain’s Jose Maria Olazabal (67) and Vaughn Taylor (68) are congregated at 10-under. In his first year on the tour, the 50-year old Johnson has finished in the top ten in all seven starts. He tied his low round of the season on Saturday by birdieing five consecutive holes on the front side (Nos. 4-8) and adding four more on the inward half. “Today was good. I mean, I putted nice,” said Johnson. “I still feel like I left some shots out there. Kind of eats at you, but at the same time I made a couple putts that you’re not supposed to make so it probably all evened out in that regard. Yeah, excited. I put myself in a place now where I can make a run tomorrow.” Quigley, who shot a 7-under round of 65, birdied both par-3s on the back nine, including the toughest hole on the course, the 198-yard 14th. On the possibility of being paired with the Iowa native Johnson on Sunday, Quigley said, “I love that. I mean, we like playing in front of people. It certainly means a little bit more and gets us a little more fired up, a little more excited knowing that everybody will be pulling for Zach. That’s an easy like. He’s one of the greatest guys in the world, obviously world-class player and just he’ll be right there.” For the second consecutive day, Hend birdied all four of the par-5s on the course. Even though he leads the tournament in putts per GIR (1.50), he struggled out of the gate on Saturday. “I found it a bit hard to get a grasp of the speed of the greens after we had the rain delay,” said Hend. “Took me a little while to sort of get back into how soft the greens had got and the slowness of them. Just took me a little while to get used to it again. Picked that up as we went into the back nine.” Johnson is looking for his second Champions Tour victory after a victory at the James Hardie Pro Football Hall of Fame Invitational in March. He will certainly have the most support on Sunday. “Well, fortunately, I’ve had that response for quite some time,” said Johnson. “I do not take it for granted. The fans are amazing. I do zone out, so apologies if I ignore or don’t hear you because I’m zoned out. There’s not a whole lot — I’m thick-skulled, like there’s not a whole lot going on up there so I’ve got to keep it simple and not try to get too distracted.” ===== JACKSON SUBER HOLDS ONE-SHOT LEAD AT RBC CANADIAN OPENJackson Suber left the course Saturday figuring he might enjoy dinner before the stress of the last round of the RBC Canadian Open. Suber birdied the final hole to post a 4-under-par 66 and take the lead through the third round during what became an evolving leaderboard at Caledon, Ontario. Suber is at 13-under 197, one stroke ahead of Bud Cauley, who also recorded 66, going into Sunday’s final round at TPC Toronto at Osprey Valley-North Course. Wyndham Clark (63), Brice Garrett (67), England’s Tommy Fleetwood (67) and Sweden’s Jesper Svensson (68) are tied for third place at 11 under. Suber was glad he stepped off the course on a high note. “People say it makes dinner taste better, but it’s definitely a little confidence going into (Sunday) knowing I birdied the last,” Suber said. Suber, who’s without a PGA Tour victory, was bogey-free until No. 16, but got that back on the final hole for his second 66 of the tournament sandwiched around Friday’s 65. “I felt like I was really in control of my game all day,” Suber said. “I was giving myself birdie putts, and if they didn’t go in it was kind of low-stress pars. I feel like I stayed patient with that.” Cauley had a five-hole stretch on the backside with four birdies, including three in a row. Svensson, bidding for his first victory on the PGA Tour, began the backside with three consecutive birdies. He held the lead until a double-bogey on the 17th hole after having trouble escaping a bunker. “I mean it’s golf, stuff happens,” Svensson said. Because of rain in the forecast, there will be threesomes using starting tees at Nos. 1 and 10 for the final round. “The golf course is probably going to play a lot different (Sunday) with the wind switching and the rain coming in,” Cauley said. “We’ll see what the different challenges that presents.” Clark said it was important to make a move Saturday. “Really just wanted a chance on Sunday,” Clark said. “I know the weather’s going to be tough, so it’s going to be a grind.” Golfers are bracing for a bit of unknown for the final round. “By the sound of the forecast, it’s going to be cold and wet, and like you say, a different wind, so that will be interesting,” Fleetwood said. Defending champion Ryan Fox (68) of New Zealand, Billy Horschel (64), Jimmy Stanger (68), Sam Burns (69) and Canada’s Sudarshan Yellamaraju (65) are clustered in seventh place at 10 under. Burns, contending for the second week in a row, was in Saturday’s final pairing and ended the round with a birdie. Second-round leader Ben James, in his first professional tournament, shot 78 and tumbled all the way to a tie for 59th place at 2 over. James, a 23-year-old former collegiate golfer for Virginia, had five consecutive bogeys on the front side and was 7 over for the round before his only birdie on No. 15. Clark, Yellamaraju. Fleetwood, Svensson, Keith Mitchell and England’s David Skinns all reached 10 under to pull even atop the leaderboard before James began his round. Norway’s Viktor Hovland made a big push as well, shooting 64, though his lone bogey came on No. 18 when he took a penalty before reaching the green. He is tied for 12th at 9 under. ===== SOUTH KOREAN DUO TAKE 1-STROKE LEAD AFTER 3 ROUNDS IN MICHIGAN TEAM EVENT South Korea’s Hye-Jin Choi and Hyo Joo Kim posted a steady 1-under-par 69 and vaulted past three duos to take a one-stroke lead after three rounds of the Dow Championship on Saturday at Midland (Mich.) Country Club. The South Korean team sits at 10-under 200, one stroke ahead of Gina Kim and Yana Wilson, who carded an even-par round of 70. Another pair of Americans, Alison Lee and Lilia Vu are in solo third place after a 1-under 69 and 8-under total of 202. The LPGA’s lone team event featured 72 two-woman teams when play began Thursday. The 34 teams that made the 36-hole cut played foursomes (alternate shot) today and will play four-ball (best ball) on Sunday. The Korean duo had a lot of vocal support as they surged to the lead. It wasn’t just local fans but a lot of Korean people and fans also came out,” said Choi. “So instead of it just being us two it definitely felt like a Korea team.” The Koreans put up four birdies and three bogies in very windy conditions. Two of the bogies occurred on the lone par-5 holes on the course. Kim and Wilson birdied the par-3 finishing hole to finish one stroke behind the leaders. Vu and Lee reeled off three consecutive birdies on holes four through six and birdied No. 10 to take the lead at 11-under. But the duo suffered a triple-bogey on the par-4 16th hole to wipe out three of the four gained strokes. “I feel like we got off to a slow start yesterday and didn’t really — I mean, I didn’t make any birdies until our 10th hole,” said Vu. “Just being more aggressive and there is nothing to lose. I trust her game and hopefully she trusts mine and we can go out there and have fun.” Norway’s Celine Borge and Germany’s Polly Mack, who led after two rounds, plummeted down the leaderboard to a tie for 13th place (-4) after an 8-over round of 78. World No. 1 Nelly Korda and her partner, Germany’s Olivia Cowan struggled to a 6-over par 76 and fell six strokes off the pace at 4-under. At age 65, Hall of Famer Juli Inkster and her partner Angel Yin recorded an even-par round and passed five teams to finish at 3-under and into a tie for 20th. Lee has known Vu since she was 12 years old and both attended UCLA. She knows they will have to go low on Sunday. “Yeah, definitely. I feel like especially best ball format if we want to win tomorrow we have to make a ton of birdies. Besides that, I think we’re just going to try to go out and have a lot of fun and hopefully the putts drop.” Choi is looking also forward to Sunday’s final round. “Rather than foursomes, four-ball is obviously easier for the players, so for tomorrow for four-ball, the mindset will just be doing our best individually and hopefully that will translate,” she said. ================================ INDIANA SPORTS NEWS AND HEADLINES INDIANA HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL Noblesville offensive lineman Caleb Johnson made his college choice Saturday by choosing Michigan State.

The Boys in Blue started quickly, earning a free kick in the seventh minute. Captain Cam Lindley played a ball outside the corner of the six that Bruno Rendon headed to the edge of the six that defender Paco Craig headed down, but Pittsburgh keeper Nico Campuzano made a diving save. Indy Eleven defender Alejandro Mitrano started the next scoring opportunity in the 20th minute with quick left-footed steal that turned into a transition with three passes getting the ball to Rendon on the right side. At the edge of the box, Rendon played it across to midfielder Jack Blake on the left for a fierce volley that was over the bar. In the 25th minute, Boys in Blue goalkeeper Eric Dick made a diving save on a shot by Eliot Goldthorp. In the 37th, Dick again thwarted Goldthorp when he tried to go near post. Dick finished the match with five saves. In the 43rd off a long Logan Neidlinger throw-in, Mitrano headed an attempted clearance from distance inside the box toward the top right corner, but Campuzano went high to grab it under the crossbar. In his first USL-C start of the season, Mitrano finished with a team-high seven crosses and added five passes in the final third, two shots, a tackle won and a successful dribble. The match was still scoreless in the 61st minute when the Boys in Blue played an impressive transition up the left side from Mitrano to Blake to forward Edward Kizza, who turned a played an exquisite ball to a speeding Loïc Mesanvi inside the left edge of the area for a left-footed strike that just missed wide.

Novak finished as the runner-up in the 3000m steeplechase finals with a time of 9:26.53. Novak concludes her 2026 outdoor campaign as a First-Team All-American in the 3000m Steeplechase. The second-place finish complements an outstanding season that saw her claim another ACC title in the 3000m Steeplechase. She also spent most of the spring as the national leader in the event, with her best performance coming at the 2026 Bryan Clay Invitational, where she ran 9:24.95. Aramini finished 17th in the 10,000m with a time of 32:49.01. 3000m Steeplechase 2. Sophie Novak- 9:26.53 ================================= BALL STATE TRACK EUGENE, Ore.— On the biggest stage of her career, Kenli Nettles delivered — on the same stage where she believed her career had finished exactly a year ago. Nettles, a graduate student for the Cardinals, etched her name into Ball State history on Saturday night by placing 16th in the heptathlon at the 2026 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships. In doing so, Nettles became the second-best heptathlon scorer in program history while joining Jenelle Rogers as the only Ball State athletes ever to finish inside the top 20 in the NCAA heptathlon. Her total score of 5,703 points is a personal record and ranks second all-time in Ball State program history. Her performance was aided by three personal records, including two on the first day of competition. The first was the shot put by over an entire meter, improving from 12.47 meters to 13.50 meters. She followed that with another PR in the 200-meter dash, dropping her best to 24.35 seconds to close the first day of competition. After a 16th-place finish in the long jump, the back-to-back MAC heptathlon champion moved into 14th place in overall standings. Nettles kept the momentum going, posting her third PR of the competition, this time finishing ninth in the javelin with a mark of 40.56 meters. A transfer from Illinois in the fall of 2024, Nettles entered the final event—the 800 meters—still in 14th. She finished 16th in the 800, finishing the seven-event heptathlon as one of just four competitors in the entire field to finish in the top 16 in each of the final five events. The finish in the 800 meters saw her drop to 16th overall in the standings, leaving her as one of only two MAC athletes to record a top 16 finish at this year’s national championships. Mercy Jebitok of Akron finished 12th in the 10,000 meters. Her final day of heptathlon competiton reflects another obstacle overcome by the athlete once declared as medically retired, before she transferred to Ball State. Just a year ago, after Day 1 of NCAA heptathlon competition, Nettles was scratched before the start of Day 2 action at these same NCAA finals. This year, she continued setting records until the close of the final event, cementing her place in Ball State track & field history.

Rachel Mehringer earned the distinction Saturday evening at Hayward Field, placing seventh in the 100m hurdles at the NCAA Outdoor National Championships with a time of 12.99. It was her second All-America honor of her career, after earning Second Team All-America honors in 2025 with a 13th-place finish. The seventh-place finish by the Sycamore superstar was the highest finish by a 100m hurdles athlete in Missouri Valley Conference history and made her just the second First Team All-American in the event in conference history, joining Kathleen Raske of Southern Illinois in 1989. Saturday’s performance was Mehringer’s ninth time breaking 13 seconds this season, all of which have come since May 1. She ran the top five 100m hurdles times in MVC history during the 2026 outdoor season and owns 21 of the top 23 times in the event in conference history, including nine of the top 10. Mehringer ran six wind-legal sub-13 times in the event this season, the only six wind-legal times under 13 seconds in conference history. Mehringer became Indiana State’s first First Team All-American in any event since Erin Reese in 2019 and the Sycamores’ first 100m hurdles First Team All-American in program history with her performance in Saturday’s final. She also guaranteed Indiana State’s first points at a national championship since 2019, when the Sycamores finished with eight points. Mehringer’s collegiate season ended with Saturday’s result, but she will represent the Blue and White on a bigger stage next month. Her postseason performances at the NCAA East First Round and NCAA Outdoor Championships qualified her for the USATF Outdoor Championships July 23-26 in New York City. Up Next Indiana State will have multiple athletes competing on the international stage in the coming weeks, starting with the USATF and Canada U20 Championships June 18-20. Kieran Barnewall will continue the Hurdle U tradition at the Canada U20 Championships June 19-20 in Ottawa, while throwers Ben Brown and Theo Thurmond will represent the Blue and White at the USATF U20 Championships June 18-19 in Eugene, Oregon. Mehringer will be joined at the USATF Outdoor Championships in July by another Sycamore great, as three-time All-American and 2024 Olympian Erin Reese will compete in the hammer throw. ============================== 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.

The game is tied 5 – 5 after nine innings of play, and the Atlantic players are happy to have a draw but Cincinnati captain Harry Wright insists that the game be played to a decision. The Red Stockings score twice in the 11th inning, but the Atlantic come back with three in their half to win. The game is notable as being the first extra-inning game between professional clubs, and as one of the lowest-scoring games of its day. As is the practice of the day, Atlantic continues to bat after having clinched the game, but no further runs are scored. 1876 – George Hall of the Philadelphia Athletics becomes the first major league player to hit for the cycle in a 20 – 5 romp over Cincinnati; both he and teammate Ezra Sutton hit three triples in the game. Hall will also become the first player to be banned, along with others, for throwing a 3 1/2 game lead with 12 games to go in 1877. 1913 – Ray Schalk hits his first career home run off the “Big Train”, Walter Johnson of Washington. Johnson, who will lead the American League with 9 homers allowed this season, is an 8 – 3 winner over the White Sox. 1926 – In what will turn out to be one of John McGraw’s worst trades, the Giants deal outfielder Billy Southworth, batting .328 at the time, to the Cardinals for Heinie Mueller, who will hit only .265 over two seasons for New York. The Redbirds’ new fly chaser, a future Hall of Famer as a manager, will play an important role in the team’s world championship this season. 1933 – Lou Gehrig’s consecutive game streak stays intact, even though he and Yankees manager Joe McCarthy are thrown out of a game. McCarthy is suspended for three games but not Gehrig, whose streak, now at 1,249, continues. 1949 – Eddie Waitkus of the Philadelphia Phillies is shot with a .22-caliber rifle by an obsessed 19-year-old fan, Ruth Ann Steinhagen, at Chicago’s Edgewater Beach Hotel. She will later be placed in a mental hospital. The injury will almost cost Waitkus his life, but he will recover and return to play next season. 1952 – Boston Braves pitcher Warren Spahn ties the National League record of Jim Whitney with 18 strikeouts in an 15-inning, 3 – 1 loss to the Chicago Cubs. Spahn’s home run is the only Braves run. On the same day, Braves scout Dewey Griggs signs Hank Aaron to a contract, buying his rights from the Indianapolis Clowns. 1953 – Before 74,708 fans at Cleveland Municipal Stadium, the Yankees sweep the Indians, 6 – 2 and 3 – 0, to extend the team’s winning streak to eighteen consecutive games – the last fourteen on the road. The Bronx Bombers’ run of victories will end with a 3 – 1 loss to St. Louis, one win shy of the franchise mark of 19 set in 1947. 1963: Duke Snider hits his 400th career home run off Bob Purkey to highlight a 10 – 3 triumph by the New York Mets over the Cincinnati Reds at Crosley Field. Willie Kirkland becomes just the second major leaguer, joining Vern Stephens, to hit two extra-inning home runs in the same game. He hits them in the 11th inning off Claude Osteen and leading off the bottom of the 19th off Jim Coates. The second blast ends the game, giving Cleveland a 3 – 2 win over Washington in the second game of a doubleheader. 1965 – Jim Maloney of the Cincinnati Reds no-hits the New York Mets for ten innings and ties a National League record with 18 strikeouts in an extra-inning game, but loses the game when Johnny Lewis hits a lead-off home run in the 11th inning that gives the Mets a 1 – 0 win. 1966 – The Miami Marlins and St. Petersburg Cardinals play the longest game in organized baseball history up to that point, needing 29 innings for Miami to prevail, 4 – 3. The game ends in the early hours of June 15th, after 6 hours and 59 minutes. It remains the longest game ever played without interruption, and only the longest game in baseball history, begun on April 18, 1981 but completed a number of weeks later, has gone more innings since. 1969 – Reggie Jackson of the Oakland Athletics collects ten RBI with two home runs, a double and two singles against the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. In the 8th inning, Jackson drives in three runs with a single when he easily could have made second base. Oakland wins, 21 – 7. 1974 – At Anaheim Stadium, Nolan Ryan strikes out 19 Boston Red Sox batters in 13 innings, including Cecil Cooper six consecutive times, to help the California Angels to a 4 – 3 victory in 15 innings. Barry Raziano is the winner in two innings of relief and Luis Tiant takes the loss in 14 1/3 innings, after Denny Doyle doubles home Mickey Rivers with the winning run. 1975 – The Angels trade Denny Doyle to the Red Sox in exchange for a player to be named later and cash. Boston’s new slick-fielding second baseman will play a pivotal role in the team’s championship season, compiling a 22-game hitting streak and batting .310 after arriving from California. 1978: Pete Rose of the Cincinnati Reds has two hits in a 3 – 1 triumph over the Chicago Cubs to start a 44-game hitting streak. The Phillies trade outfielders Jay Johnstone and Bobby Brown to the Yankees for right-hander Rawly Eastwick. Philadelphia’s new reliever will compile a 2-1 record this season, appearing in 51 games while Johnstone will prove to be a useful bench piece for the Yankees, on their way to erasing a huge deficit behind Boston in the division race and winning a second consecutive World Series title. 1979 – Willie McCovey of the San Francisco Giants hits his 513th home run, off Dennis Lamp, establishing him as the National League all-time left-handed home run leader, but the Chicago Cubs beat the Giants, 8 – 6, at Candlestick Park. 1985 – Coming out of retirement, manager Earl Weaver returns to the Baltimore Orioles’ dugout, replacing Joe Altobelli. Weaver led Baltimore to four American League titles from 1968 to 1982. 1987 – Mike Schmidt hits three home runs in a game for the third time in his career as the Phillies defeat the Expos, 11 – 6. 1989 – In a 6 – 4 victory over the Blue Jays at County Stadium, Robin Yount’s consecutive games streak ends. The Brewers centerfielder establishes a new club record by playing in 276 straight contests. 1990 – The National League announces expansion, to begin in 1993. The process will result in the Colorado Rockies and Florida Marlins joining the league. 1992 – Pete Incaviglia ties the club record with seven RBIs as the Astros drub the Giants, 15 – 7, at the Astrodome. “Inky” swats a three-run homer off Dave Righetti and a two-run shot off Dave Burba before belting a two-run double off Burba to complete his day. Eric Anthony adds three hits. 1995 – Mike Benjamin goes 6 for 7, setting a major league record with 14 hits in three games, and drives in the winning run in the 13th inning as the San Francisco Giants beat the Chicago Cubs, 4 – 3. A career .186 hitter in his first six seasons, Benjamin is 14 for 18 in that stretch. 1996 – Cal Ripken, Jr. sets a new consecutive games record by playing in his 2,216th consecutive game. The previous mark of 2,215 was held by Hiroshima Carp third baseman Sachio Kinugasa while playing in the Japanese Central League. 1998 – The Astros tag Cincinnati closer Jeff Shaw for five runs in a 6 – 3, ten-inning stunner. Barry Larkin’s error lets Houston tie it in the 9th. Bill Spiers completes a four-hit night with a two-run homer in the 10th after another error breaks the deadlock, this one by Reggie Sanders. 2002: With all 14 interleague games – and one National League game – taking place in NL parks, a designated hitter is not used in a full slate of major league games for the first time since 1972. Visiting pitchers will have plenty of opportunities to swing the bat as there is not a home game scheduled in American League parks for ten consecutive days. Aaron Boone hits a pair of home runs, one in the 9th inning to tie the game and one to win it in the 11th, as the Cincinnati Reds beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 4 – 3. 2003 – Fred McGriff goes 2 for 4 after being activated from the disabled list by the Dodgers. It was his first trip to the DL during his 18-year career. 2005: Ichiro Suzuki of the Seattle Mariners becomes the third major leaguer since 1900 to reach 1,000 hits in fewer than 700 games when he singles in the bottom of the 1st inning in the Mariners’ 3 – 1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies. Suzuki’s 1,000th hit comes in his 696th game. Chuck Klein reached the mark in 1933 in 683 games, and Lloyd Waner reached it in 1932 in 686 games. Chris Carpenter pitches a one-hitter and strikes out ten to lead the Cardinals to a 7 – 0 win over Toronto. 2006 – Steve Finley hits his 300th career home run as the San Francisco Giants beat the host Arizona Diamondbacks, 11 – 4. Finley, who has 316 career stolen bases, becomes the sixth member of the exclusive 300 HR/300 SB club, joining teammate Barry Bonds, his father Bobby Bonds, Andre Dawson, Willie Mays and Reggie Sanders. 2009 – The Yakult Swallows set a Nippon Pro Baseball record with hits in 11 straight at-bats in the 6th inning of a 14 – 10 win over the Orix Buffaloes. Norichika Aoki begins the inning with a single off Yoshihisa Hirano. Aaron Guiel, Yuichi Matsumoto, Shinya Miyamoto, Jamie D’Antona, Ryoji Aikawa, Keizo Kawashima, Shinichi Takeuchi and Hiroyasu Tanaka connect for nine hits in a row, off Hirano and his successors on the mound, Akio Shimizu and Masanobu Okubo. Takashi Kamoshida walks Aoki, then gives up a grand slam to Guiel. Yasushi Iihara pinch-hits for Matsumoto and doubles to run the streak to 11 before Kamoshida retires Miyamoto. Yakult scores ten runs in the inning and Guiel finishes the day with six RBI. 2010: Nippon Pro Baseball decides to adopt the Mizuno ball for use by all teams next season. This year, as in prior ones, home teams get to decide which ball to use, with four different suppliers being used this season. The game between the Blue Jays and the Padres in Petco Park is interrupted in the 8th inning by an earthquake that registers 5.9 on the Richter scale. However, as there is no damage, the game resumes after a very brief interruption, with Toronto winning, 6 – 3, behind two homers by John Buck and three RBI by Aaron Hill. For the first time in over 60 years, two players with 5,000+ career at-bats and a .330+ career average meet in a major league contest – Albert Pujols of the Cards versus Ichiro Suzuki of the Mariners. The last such matchup had occurred in 1942 with Joe Medwick and Paul Waner. 2011: Justin Verlander comes within five outs of pitching his second no-hitter of the season in leading the Tigers into first place in the AL Central with a 4 – 0 win over Cleveland. He strikes out 12 in pitching a two-hit shutout, with Orlando Cabrera’s 8th-inning single the first safety of the night against Verlander’s overwhelming stuff. In spite of a stiff back which forces him to leave the game in the 8th inning, Cole Hamels is dominant for the Phillies in earning his ninth win, 9 – 1 over the Marlins, to join teammate Roy Halladay for the National League lead. Hamels is helped by five homers, two-run shots by Ryan Howard, Chase Utley and Jimmy Rollins, and two solo blasts by Domonic Brown. Florida has now lost 11 of its last 12 games. 2012 – Rob Cordemans strikes out nine and allows three hits and no runs in 6 2/3 innings as the Amsterdam Pirates beat the Vaessen Pioniers, 10 – 2; Wesley Connor hits a three-run homer. Cordemans gets his 150th Hoofdklasse win, tying Bart Volkerijk for the all-time league record. 2014 – Brandon Barnes of the Rockies stuns the Giants with a two-out, two-run inside-the-park homer off Sergio Romo in the 9th inning for a 5 – 4 win. Both of Barnes’s long balls this year have been of the inside-the-park variety. 2015: For the second time in three days, the Pirates and Phillies take a scoreless game into extra innings. Pittsburgh scores the winning run in the bottom of the 11th when Josh Harrison drives in Neil Walker with a two-out single. Earlier in the game, A.J. Burnett and Cole Hamels had locked in a classic duel, but neither pitcher is involved in the decision as the Bucs win their fourth straight, 1 – 0, including three wins by shutout. The Nationals’ Max Scherzer is dominant in pitching a one-hitter over the Brewers, 4 – 0, as he allows only a pair of baserunners. He sets a new Nats team record for strikeouts in a game with 16. Eugen Heilmann becomes the all-time innings pitched leader in Baseball-Bundesliga 1, passing Frank Stattler’s mark of 940. Heilmann, pitching for the Paderborn Untouchables, reaches the record against the Hannover Regents. 2017 – A gunman opens fire on a Republican congressional baseball team holding an early-morning practice in Alexandria, VA. Louisiana Representative Steve Scalise is among the five persons wounded in the attack, being shot in the hip. Capitol Police officers at the practice return fire and quickly apprehend the shooter, who is mortally wounded in the exchange. The team was preparing for its annual charity game against members of the Democratic party scheduled for later in the week. 2018 – Rob Cordemans breaks Bart Volkerijk’s all-time Hoofdklasse strikeout record. He whiffs 8 DSS batters in a 4 – 1 win for the L&D Amsterdam Pirates; his last K of the day, Kevin Nieveld, gives him 1,949 strikeouts for his career to top the previous record. He had broken Volkerijk’s win record six years earlier. 2019 – Jake Bauers of the Indians, hits the third cycle of the season, one day after Shohei Ohtani had hit the second. He completes the feat with a homer in the 8th as Cleveland defeats the Tigers, 13 – 4. Bauers gets two of his hits in the 4th, when the Indians score eight times. 2022 – Miles Mikolas of the Cardinals comes within one pitch of putting his name in the history books as he loses a bid for a no-hitter with two outs in the 9th in the second game of a doubleheader against the Pirates. With a 2-2 count, rookie Cal Mitchell drives a curveball over the head of CF Harrison Bader, just out of the reach of his outstretched glove, for a double. Packy Naughton then comes in to record the final out of the 9 – 1 win. The Pirates had scored an unearned run in the 4th on a two-base error by LF Juan Yepez and a ground ball. The Bucs also lose the first game of the twinbill, 3 – 1, and have now lost nine in a row, 2024: The Astros designate veteran 1B José Abreu for assignment with a year-and-a-half left on the three-year contract he signed before last season. Abreu is hitting just .124 in 35 games and is still owed $30.8 million in salary. A record is set in Cleveland’s 3 – 1 win over Toronto at the Rogers Centre as five Canadian-born players appear in the game. Brothers Josh Naylor and Bo Naylor are in the starting line-up for the Guardians, and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. for the Blue Jays, while relievers Cade Smith and Zach Pop both appear later on. News comes out that Pat Hoberg, one of the top-rated umpires in the majors, has been disciplined by Major League Baseball, being fired on May 31st for violating its policies on sports betting. Hoberg, who is appealing the sanction, has not worked any games this season. 2025 – By hitting two home runs in an 11 – 5 win over the Giants, Shohei Ohtani reaches the milestone of 250 homers for his career. The win gives the Dodgers once again sole possession of first place in the NL West after San Francisco had caught them with a win the day before.
