After a record-setting run through the first two rounds, the Knicks were going nowhere for 40 minutes against the Cavs, trailing 93-71 with 7:52 to play. But Brunson relentlessly attacked James Harden to spark an 18-1 run that made it a ballgame, and he tied it at 101-all on a basket with 19 seconds remaining in regulation. Before that, Brunson said the message for the Knicks was just to finish strong so they would have momentum for Game 2, even if they lost the opener. “Just keep fighting,” he said. “Keep chipping away. We’re not going to get it back in one possession.” The Knicks then opened overtime with a 9-0 run as a delirious crowd in Madison Square Garden danced and screamed in the aisles. The Knicks moved within three wins of their first NBA Finals appearance since 1999. Mikal Bridges added 18 points and three Knicks scored 13, including OG Anunoby, who came on late after struggling most of the way in his return after missing two games with a strained right hamstring. Donovan Mitchell scored 29 points for the Cavaliers, who seemed well on their way to a third straight road win before their late collapse. The Knicks outscored them 44-11 after their 93-71 lead. “We played great basketball tonight for three quarters. Unfortunately, the fourth quarter — they dominated us in the fourth quarter,” Cavs coach Kenny Atkinson said. The Knicks won their eighth straight game and will host Game 2 on Thursday. The Knicks had outscored Atlanta and Philadelphia by a combined 194 points, the largest margin ever through a team’s first 10 postseason games. But after not playing since May 10, when they finished their second-round sweep of the 76ers, the Knicks misfired most of the night, looking like the rust hurt more than the rest helped. They were 4 for 23 on 3-pointers through three quarters and then had a horrible start to the fourth. But a year after coughing up a 14-point lead in the final minutes of regulation and losing to Indiana in OT in Game 1 of the conference finals on their home court, the Knicks found their offense just in time. “But it was our defense that has always been special in these playoffs and that has carried us in this playoffs, that showed up in the fourth quarter and in overtime,” Karl-Anthony Towns said. “It allowed us to be sitting here with a win against a really great team.” The only bigger fourth-quarter playoff comeback in the last 30 years was when the Clippers rallied from 24 down to beat Memphis in Game 1 in 2012. “That can’t happen. But it did,” Mitchell said. “We play in two days. We can’t sit here and let it kill our momentum, kill what we’ve been doing. It’s not a good loss.” The Knicks came from 20 points behind three times last year in the postseason. Those were their largest comebacks on record since 1969-70, when they won their first of two NBA titles. Evan Mobley had 15 points and 14 rebounds for the Cavs. Harden also scored 15 points, but was just 1 for 8 on 3-pointers and had more turnovers (six) than field goals (five). ===== ‘WE WERE ATTACKING HARDEN’: KNICKS, BRUNSON GO AFTER CAVS VETERAN TO KEY THEIR IMPROBABLE COMEBACK NEW YORK (AP) — James Harden could not stop Jalen Brunson down the stretch and did not have enough offensively to make up for it. The Cleveland Cavaliers blew a 22-point lead to lose Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals to the New York Knicks in overtime on Tuesday night, and Harden’s struggles at each end of the court played a big part in the collapse. Brunson scored on several possessions in a row off the dribble with Harden guarding him. Brunson had 15 points on 7-of-9 shooting in the fourth quarter alone. “He made some tough ones, but we obviously all know he’s a great 1-on-1 player,” Harden said. “Anybody on an island, it’s going to be difficult, so we’ve got to do a better job of making sure he sees bodies. On the other hand, they do a good job at supporting him and helping him when he’s on an island. He made some tough ones, but we’ve got to do a better job as a team.” Knicks coach Mike Brown put the ball in Brunson’s hands and trusted his point guard to exploit the matchup against Harden. “There is no secret: We were attacking Harden,” Brown said. “Sometimes you’ve got to do what the game dictates, and they were trying to do the same thing with Jalen, so we said, ‘OK, we feel like we can play that game.’ We try not to play that game much, but we feel like we have a guy that we can play that game with in Jalen.” Brunson only had 14 points at halftime, and Cleveland’s defense switching defenders on him paid dividends until he got 1-on-1 with Harden to spark the comeback. “Jalen was a little bit more aggressive,” Harden said. “We just allowed him to be aggressive, and he made shots and he continued to make shots.” Coach Kenny Atkinson said he and his staff made adjustments, but nothing worked. “We started sending two at him, getting the ball out of his hands, full rotating,” Atkinson said. “James was good most of the game. Listen, we weren’t great defensively in the fourth quarter.” Playing 48 hours after blowing out Detroit in Game 7 of the second round, Atkinson said he never considered taking Harden off the court defensively. “Listen, he’s been one of our best defenders and a big player in the playoffs,” Atkinson said. “I trust him. He’s smart, great hands.” Trading for Harden, an 11-time All-Star, in February helped propel the Cavaliers to this point. But the 36-year-old struggled Tuesday night with the ball in his hands, too. Harden shot 5 of 16 from the floor, including 1 of 8 from 3-point range, and turned the ball over six times. Donovan Mitchell, who led Cleveland with 29 points, said he and his teammates could have done a lot more collectively to slow down Brunson and did not put the blame for the improbable defeat on Harden’s shoulders. “Ultimately, this isn’t on him — it’s on all of us,” Mitchell said. “It’s not just on one person. He’s been around the league long enough. He understands that.” ===== INSIDE WEMBY’S NIGHT: A DIVE INTO WEMBANYAMA’S GAME 1 NUMBERS AGAINST THE THUNDER OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The numbers deserve a deeper look: 41 points, 24 rebounds, three blocked shots. Take a bow, Victor Wembanyama. That’s a conference finals debut like none other in the NBA’s 80-year history. The San Antonio star did everything — and a whole lot of it — in the Spurs’ 122-115 double-overtime Game 1 victory over Oklahoma City to open the Western Conference finals on Monday night. He dunked, he flexed, he screamed, he posed for teammates. Of course, all he cared about was that the Spurs won. “The relentlessness is built as well,” Wembanyama said. “First of all, the first thing is physical ability, getting stronger as the years go on. And the mental toughness, you have to have it all the time. Yes, it takes a toll, but we will rest in July.” Note that phrase — “we will rest in July.” It’s May. If the Spurs play in June, it’ll be in the NBA Finals. That’s clearly the hope and if you listen to Wembanyama, it’s clearly his plan as well. “He has a rare desire to step into every moment that’s in front of him,” Spurs coach Mitch Johnson said. “And I think he has showed in his three years, in a lot of different situations, with a lot of different circumstances, that he’s going to attack those moments. Doesn’t mean they’ll always work out for him or be exactly the outcome that he wants, but he has some rare God-given ability. He puts in even more work and preparation into maximizing that and his disposition and mentality and approach is reflected at times in the way he handles those moments.” Poor Dylan Harper. All the Spurs guard did in Game 1 — as a rookie — was have 24 points, 11 rebounds, six assists and seven steals. He joined Magic Johnson as the only rookies with 15 points, five assists and five steals in a conference finals game. That’s a monster night. And Wemby overshadowed that as only a 7-foot-4 man can. A look inside the night that was for Wembanyama: 41 points, 24 rebounds At 22, he’s the youngest to do that in NBA playoff history, seven months younger than Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was when he had a 46-point, 25-rebound game in 1970. He’s the second-youngest to have such a game in the NBA, including regular season. Bob McAdoo had a 45-point, 25-rebound game as a 21-year-old in 1973. A 10th 40-point game The big games just come with more regularity now for Wembanyama. He now has 10 games of 40 or more points in his career. Of those, five were in his first 2 1/2 seasons — and the last five have come in the last three months. A career-best in rebounds The 24 rebounds topped his previous career-best of 23 rebounds, done on his 21st birthday — Jan, 4. 2025, against Denver. Since that was in the regular season, it’ll still be generally considered his “career-high” and the playoff one will stand on its own. 12 free throws The 12 free throws made (he was 12 for 13) matched his second-most makes from the line in any game as a pro. He had 16 in a loss to Denver last month. The 12-of-13 effort was one of his best from the line during his NBA career; he was 12-for-12 against Phoenix in March and 16-for-17 in that game against the Nuggets in April. The last word “He’s one of a kind.” — Harper, on Wembanyama. ===== THE SPURS SAY THEY’RE ALWAYS LEARNING. THE THUNDER HAVE TO DO SOME LEARNING BEFORE GAME 2 AS WELL OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Victor Wembanyama is not going to get any shorter before Game 2 of the Western Conference finals. He’s not going to get less skilled, and the San Antonio Spurs surely aren’t going to become less confident, either. That means the Oklahoma City Thunder have to get a little smarter. It took historic efforts — namely a 41-point, 24-rebound game from Wembanyama and a 24-point, seven-steal gem from rookie Dylan Harper — for the Spurs to grab the double-overtime thriller that was Game 1 on Monday. Game 2 is Wednesday, and it’s the Thunder who have to answer. “You’ve just got to be aggressive, just be smart, I think, more than anything,” Thunder guard and two-time Most Valuable Player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander said of facing the 7-foot-4 Wembanyama. “He obviously is very big at the rim, but we still found cracks in (the defense) at times. We’ve just got to be willing to work possessions and make sure we get the best shot each time down.” In other words, the Thunder have some learning to do. And that’s a bit ironic, because that’s been the Spurs’ mantra. San Antonio ruled De’Aaron Fox out an hour or so before Game 1, meaning the Spurs were rolling out the youngest starting five in NBA conference finals history — a 20-year-old in Harper, a 21-year-old in Stephon Castle, a 22-year-old in Wembanyama, a 24-year-old in Julian Champagnie and a 25-year-old in Devin Vassell. Most of those guys should still be in college, so maybe the various “we’re learning” claims that Wembanyama often offers are both accurate and fitting. “We want to win everything, and we have the chance to. We have people above us in the organization that know how to do that,” Wembanyama said. “And, so far, it looks like they’ve put the right people together to give us a chance — because right now, we’ve got a chance. We still got a lot to do, lot to learn, lot of trials to go through that we don’t even know of, but we have a chance.” Without question, the masterminds of the Spurs — the likes of Gregg Popovich and R.C. Buford, the newer wave in general manager Brian Wright and coach Mitch Johnson — know what they’re doing. There are banners swaying in San Antonio as proof. Same goes in Oklahoma City; the Thunder proved last year, by winning a title, that they know what they’re doing. And when Game 1 was over, Thunder coach Mark Daigneault — as per his nature — was calm and cool. “I’m never going to discredit an opponent when they come in here and win like that,” Daigneault said. “But we have a lot of runway to improve. We have a lot of players that can play better. We collectively can play with more intentionality on both ends of the floor, certainly on the offensive end of the floor. We can play better collectively.” No matter what happens Wednesday, Daigneault will likely say the same thing after Game 2 as well. “Game 2 is going to end and then we’ll need to be a better team in Game 3,” Daigneault said. “That’s how these work.” The Spurs have reasons to feel good, obviously: They’re up 1-0, and they hope they can get Fox back for Game 2. The Thunder, who got 31 points from Alex Caruso in the series opener, might not have reasons to feel good but they shouldn’t be in panic mode either: It’s highly unlikely that Gilgeous-Alexander (7 for 23 in Game 1) struggles that much from the field again anytime soon, and the minus-21 rebound differential — the team’s worst since November 2024 — can be easily addressed. “That’s what this time of year is about,” Gilgeous-Alexander said. “It’s the highest level of basketball and you’re going to find out exactly what type of player you are, what type of competitor you are and exactly what you need to get better at.” ===== PISTONS GM HOPES TO MAKE A DEAL WITH JALEN DUREN, ALSO WANTS TO BRING BACK TOBIAS HARRIS DETROIT (AP) — Detroit Pistons general manager Trajan Langdon said he hoped to reach a deal with All-Star center Jalen Duren to keep him on the roster. “We look forward to coming together with his representation,” Langdon said Tuesday, wrapping up a 60-win season that ended in Game 7 of the second round against Cleveland. The 22-year-old Duren can become a restricted free agent this summer, when Detroit would be able to match any offer from other teams. He became a first-time All-Star this year, averaging nearly 20 points and more than 10 rebounds a game. His production in the playoffs dipped to 10.2 points and 8.5 rebounds per game because he didn’t get as many easy baskets close to the rim after defenses made some adjustments against him. “Sometimes that happens with young players in the league,” Langdon said. Duren was selected No. 13 overall out of Memphis in 2022 by Charlotte, and the Pistons acquired him in a draft-night trade. He averaged 11-plus points a game over his first three seasons in the league and became an All-Star after boosting his offensive production during the regular season. “JD had a fantastic season,” Langdon said. “He’s one of the biggest contributors to us being a No. 1 seed.” ===== BULLS HIRE STEPHEN MERVIS AND ACIE LAW IV FOR NEW-LOOK FRONT OFFICE CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Bulls have hired Stephen Mervis and Acie Law IV for the team’s revamped front office under Bryson Graham. The Bulls announced the additions on Tuesday. Mervis was hired as senior vice president of basketball operations and Law’s title is vice president of player personnel. Graham took over as the team’s executive vice president of basketball operations after he was hired this month. He spent this season as Atlanta’s senior vice president of basketball operations after a 15-year run in New Orleans’ front office. Mervis’ responsibilities include salary cap strategy and analytics, and Law is responsible for the draft and scouting. Law, who appeared in 12 games for the Bulls during his four NBA seasons, also will be involved in “all player personnel matters,” according to the team’s release announcing the moves. Chicago went 31-51 this season while missing the playoffs for the fourth straight year. It has the No. 4 pick in the upcoming NBA draft, and one of the next big tasks for the front office is finding a coach to replace Billy Donovan. Mervis spent the last 12 seasons with the Orlando Magic, most recently as assistant general manager. Law was the director of player personnel for the Brooklyn Nets this season. He also worked for the Oklahoma City Thunder for three seasons from 2022-25, helping the team win the championship last year. ======================================= MEN’S COLLEGE BASKETBALL REPORTS: FORMER ST. JOHN’S STAR RJ LUIS COMMITS TO LSU Former St. John’s star RJ Luis has committed to LSU as he hopes to head back to campus after a brief NBA stint, according to multiple reports Tuesday. The 2025 Big East Player of the Year declared for the 2025 NBA Draft after his junior season but went undrafted. He signed a two-way contract with the Utah Jazz but was traded in the offseason to the Boston Celtics, who assigned him to their G-League affiliate. The Celtics waived him in November before he actually played a game, with the move coming after he suffered a groin injury that required surgery. The NCAA previously said players who sign two-way contracts cannot return to play college basketball, so Luis currently is ineligible to play and likely will need to take legal action to request a waiver to get on the court for the Tigers. If the signing with LSU is approved, Luis has one year of eligibility remaining. Luis, 23, averaged 18.2 points and 7.2 rebounds in 35 games (32 starts) in his last season at St. John’s in 2025. He also earned Big East Tournament MVP honors that season. However, in the second round of the NCAA Tournament, with St. John’s as the No. 2 seed in the West Region, he made just 3 of 17 shots from the floor and sat out the final 4:56 of the second half in a 75-66 setback to No. 10 Arkansas. Luis, a Miami native, began his college career with one season at Massachusetts before transferring to St. John’s prior to the 2023-24 campaign. He averaged 14.1 points and 5.6 rebounds in 85 games over those three seasons. ====================================== NFL NFL TAKING 2030 SUPER BOWL TO NASHVILLE AND TITANS’ NEW ENCLOSED STADIUM NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The NFL is taking the 2030 Super Bowl to Nashville and the Tennessee Titans’ new Nissan Stadium after team owners voted Tuesday to hold the league’s championship game in the Music City for the first time. Once the Titans broke ground on the $2.1 billion enclosed stadium, a Super Bowl being played in Nashville appeared to be only a matter of time. Commissioner Roger Goodell said in November that Nashville lacked only the stage after setting a new standard for the league with record attendance at the 2019 draft. “That for us changed the future of the draft, arguably changed the future of the Titans and the community,” Goodell said. “And I think this is the next great step in a remarkable football journey and a great community in Nashville. We can’t wait to be there.” The Titans are on schedule to finish the new stadium directly across from the current Nissan Stadium in February, completing the three-year construction. Critics worried the planned capacity wasn’t big enough to host a Super Bowl, though league officials were updated throughout the process. Awarding the 2030 Super Bowl to Nashville gives the Titans three full seasons to work out any kinks. Controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk said the Titans are thrilled Nashville’s first Super Bowl is coming and thanked Goodell, her fellow NFL owners and the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp for their partnership. “We cannot wait for our community to experience an event of this magnitude and for the world to see the energy, hospitality, and culture that make our city so special on a global stage,” she said. “We look forward to bringing an unforgettable Super Bowl experience to Nashville together.” Nashville impressed the NFL when the executives who work on the league’s big events saw the Music City touch in 2019. Bands played between draft picks and headliners like Tim McGraw helped cap each day’s events. Fans poured in for the party in the Lower Broad honky-tonk district. with other events at the Titans’ current stadium a short walk across a pedestrian bridge. “We are grateful to the NFL for the confidence they have placed in our community,” said Deana Ivey, president and CEO of the Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp. “Nashville has earned a reputation for hosting major events at the highest level, and we are ready to welcome the world.” Only New Orleans and Las Vegas among NFL venues have more hotel rooms within a one-mile radius of the stadium, with the Nashville market area projected to have 658 hotels with more than 80,000 hotel rooms by 2030. Nashville currently has more than 61,000 hotel rooms available. The new stadium is being built with $760 million in bonds issued by Nashville’s sports authority, with an additional $500 million in state bonds. The combined $1.2 billion in public funding was considered the largest public commitment in funding for an NFL stadium when approved in 2022. Burke Nihill, the Titans’ president and CEO, said that the commitment from city, state and community leaders helped make Tuesday’s announcement possible. “We are grateful to the NFL for the opportunity to host in 2030,” he said. “Beyond the game itself, this event will create lasting impact for Nashville, our fans, and the entire region for years to come.” The announcement adds to the NFL’s Super Bowl lineup of SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, hosting in 2027 followed by Atlanta in 2028 and Las Vegas in 2029. Nashville isn’t content with lining up just a Super Bowl for the new Nissan Stadium. Former Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam, also controlling owner of the NHL’s Nashville Predators, is chairman of the Music City Major Events group assembled in 2023 to bring other high-profile events to the stadium. The NFL also announced Tuesday that Minnesota will host the 2028 draft, a decade after hosting its last Super Bowl in 2018. Pittsburgh drew a record 805,000 fans over three days in April for the draft. Washington will host the 2027 NFL draft. ===== MINNEAPOLIS SELECTED TO HOST 2028 NFL DRAFT NFL owners voted to award the 2028 draft to Minneapolis. The Twin Cities were chosen to host the event on Tuesday at the meeting of franchise owners in Orlando, the culmination of what Vikings president and CEO Mark Wilf described as a “terrific opportunity.” Minnesota hosted the Super Bowl in February 2018 and becomes the final NFC North division team to be chosen as the draft stage. “Minnesota knows how to show up for big moments, and we’ve experienced it firsthand,” NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said in a statement Tuesday. “Working with the Minnesota Vikings and Minnesota Sports and Events, we look forward to bringing the 2028 NFL Draft to this great community, driving positive economic impact throughout the region, and hosting an incredible event for fans and the next generation of the NFL.” The 2026 draft took place in Pittsburgh last month, with the 2027 event scheduled for the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Wilf and the draft host city planning committee noted events will be held outside of downtown Minneapolis, where U.S. Bank Stadium is located. A portion of the event will take place near the team’s headquarters and practice facility and at other spots to be determined within the Twin Cities. “For three days, Minnesota will become the center of the football world,” Wilf said. “The 2028 NFL Draft will give us an opportunity to showcase not just U.S. Bank Stadium, but the energy, hospitality and pride that define Minneapolis-St. Paul and the entire state and region. We have no doubt the community will deliver a world-class event that is unique to Minnesota.” The NFL conducted the annual draft in New York until opting to take the show on the road in 2015. The extremely popular road show changes locations each year. Since then, the draft has been held in the home cities of 10 franchises: the Bears, Eagles, Cowboys, Titans, Browns, Raiders, Chiefs, Lions, Packers and Steelers. Sports The 2020 draft was held virtually because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Pittsburgh set the record for largest total attendance in NFL draft history with 805,000 attendees over three days from April 23-25. Organizers in Washington, D.C., have said they expect a crowd of more than 1 million people. Cincinnati is reportedly the leading contender to host the 2029 NFL Draft. ===================================== COLLEGE BASEBALL ROSEMONT, Ill. – The Big Ten Conference announced its 2026 baseball awards winners on Tuesday.

With the bases loaded in the second, Wood sent a shot to the wall in left-center that hit off Mets rookie Nick Morabito’s glove and rolled past Tyrone Taylor toward center. By the time they located the ball and got it in, Wood was sliding across home plate with his first career grand slam. Jose Tena also homered for the Nationals. Bo Bichette hit a pair of two-run homers for the Mets, giving him three home runs in two games. Juan Soto also went deep and Carson Benge had three hits for the Mets, who had won three straight.

Rays 4, Orioles 1 Yandy Diaz hit the go-ahead home run, doubled and drove in two runs to lead Tampa Bay past Baltimore in St. Petersburg, Fla.

Tampa Bay relievers Kevin Kelly (3-1), Ian Seymour, Casey Legumina and Bryan Baker (13th save) combined for four scoreless innings.

Astros 2, Twins 1 Isaac Paredes hit a two-run homer in the first inning, and that proved to be enough as Houston held on for a win over Minnesota in Minneapolis.

Center fielder Brenton Doyle left the game after the first inning with a bruised left side sustained when he made a diving attempt on Duran’s double. Cardinals 9, Pirates 6 (10 innings) Ivan Herrera’s three-run homer in the bottom of the 10th lifted host St. Louis to a win over Pittsburgh. Herrera’s 410-foot blast to left-center field off Pirates reliever Mason Montgomery (1-1) helped the Cardinals win for the fourth time in five games while dealing the Pirates their fourth consecutive loss.

Angels starter Reid Detmers (1-5) allowed a career-high eight runs and eight hits in 5 2/3 innings. Mike Trout homered for Los Angeles. Diamondbacks 5, Giants 3 Ketel Marte capped a four-run bottom of the ninth inning with a two-out, three-run home run, lifting Arizona to a walk-off win over San Francisco in Phoenix. Arizona’s Jonathan Loaisiga (1-1) pitched a scoreless top of the ninth. The walk-off win was the Diamondbacks’ second of the season, while the Giants endured their fourth walk-off defeat of the young campaign. Rafael Devers and Daniel Susac each had two hits for the Giants, who fell to 4-5 on their 10-game trip. Dodgers 5, Padres 4 Andy Pages’ sacrifice fly in the top of the ninth inning lifted visiting Los Angeles to a win over San Diego. Dodgers reliever Tanner Scott (1-1) pitched 1 1/3 hitless innings.

Bennett has an 85-116 career record with nine schools. ======================================== INDY 500 CAITLIN CLARK HAS BEEN NAMED THE INDIANAPOLIS 500 GRAND MARSHAL INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Caitlin Clark is finally going to the Indianapolis 500 and she’ll do it in style — giving the starting command before Sunday’s sold-out race. Race organizers announced Tuesday they had chosen the two-time WNBA All-Star as this year’s grand marshal. Her basketball schedule had prevented the former Iowa star from previously participating in race week activities. Last May, the Fever played a home game the day before a rare Indianapolis 500-Indiana Pacers race day doubleheader. They also played on race weekend during her rookie season in 2024. This week, though, they host the expansion Portland Fire on Wednesday and Golden State on Friday before getting a six-day break. “I’m honored to represent Gainbridge as grand marshal of the Indy 500,” Clark said in a statement. “I’m looking forward to experiencing an iconic piece of what makes Indiana so special and being part of the time-honored tradition of ‘The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.’” The Indiana Fever star has helped push women’s basketball to new heights in both the college and professional ranks, routinely attracting sellout crowds and prompting some opponents to move games to larger venues. Clark was the WNBA’s No. 1 draft pick in 2024 and earned the league’s Rookie of the Year Award that season, breaking multiple records including the WNBA’s single season assists mark. She’s also the NCAA’s career scoring leader and recently became the first player in WNBA history to record a second double-double with 30 or more points and 10 or more assists. Earlier this year, Clark also was selected MVP of the 2026 FIBA World Cup Qualifying Tournament as she returned from an injury-plagued second pro season. She joins a long list of celebrities who have given the starting command at the Brickyard. Among those are former baseball stars Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez, award-winning singer Blake Shelton, actor Dylan Sprouse and actor Stephanie Beatriz. “Since being drafted by the Fever, fans have been clamoring to share the epic celebration and thrilling excitement of Indy 500 race day with Caitlin,” Indianapolis Motor Speedway President Doug Boles said. “Caitlin will bring unique energy and presence to a quintessentially Hoosier experience and an absolutely bucket list global sporting spectacle.” Clark has been a brand ambassador for Gainbridge, a race sponsor that also holds naming rights to the home arena of the Fever, since her senior year in college. She’s currently appearing in a second ad campaign with the company. ===== The seventh race of the NTT INDYCAR SERIES season is on tap for Sunday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. But with all due respect to the prestigious Astor Challenge Cup, the pursuit of the season championship takes a back seat for a few days. After all, motorsports immortality is at stake with the 110th Running of the Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge. SEE: Indy 500 Event Details The magnitude of the moment is immense, and the number of important storylines has grown by the day. No. 1 on the list is the status of Alexander Rossi, the 2016 race winner who suffered minor injuries in a Turn 2 accident in Monday’s practice. He underwent outpatient procedures on a left finger and his right ankle, and his recovery will be monitored throughout the week with a goal of participating in Friday’s two-hour Miller Lite Carb Day practice (11 a.m.-1 p.m.). There are numerous examples over the years of drivers competing in the “500” as they recovered from injuries. Buddy Lazier famously won the 1996 race eight weeks after suffering multiple back fractures in an accident in practice at Phoenix Raceway. Last year, Takuma Sato still had broken ribs after being injured in the spring test at IMS. That’s not the only thing noteworthy about Monday’s accident. Two of the cars that qualified in the Firestone Fast Six round were damaged, and those drivers – Rossi and Pato O’Ward – are expected to use backup cars in Sunday’s race (FOX, FOX Deportes, FOX One, INDYCAR Radio powered by OnlyBulls). Fortunately for all involved, Rossi’s ECR and O’Ward’s Arrow McLaren have been some of the most successful teams at Indy in recent years. Per INDYCAR rules, the backup cars will remain in the second and sixth starting positions, respectively. Romain Grosjean, who has the 24th starting position, also was involved in the accident, forcing Dale Coyne Racing into additional work. The car will be ready for Friday’s practice, a team official said Tuesday. A few other cars, including the Dreyer & Reinbold Racing machines of Conor Daly (No. 8 starter) and Jack Harvey (No. 33), suffered lesser damage and will be repaired. How all these cars perform Friday will be interesting to watch. Another item to monitor: How many of those deeper in the 33-car field rate after switching out of the extra engine boost used in qualifying. Two-time Indy winner Josef Newgarden is a prime example. Newgarden had one of the faster cars in the practices leading up to qualifying. But when under last weekend’s timed run, Newgarden’s four-lap average ranked 25th. He moved up two positions after the cars of Harvey and AJ Foyt Racing’s Caio Collet were penalized for unapproved modifications in qualifying. Newgarden would be the first to win Indy from the 23rd starting position, and only four have won from further back. Prior to the penalty, Collet was in a strong position to earn the Rookie of the Year Award. He earned the No. 10 starting position, 19 spots ahead of the next-highest contender, Mick Schumacher of Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing. When the green flag drops Sunday, the four drivers challenging for the award will be able to see one another. Schumacher will start 27th with Dale Coyne Racing’s Dennis Hauger 29th, Abel Motorsports’ Jacob Abel 30th and Collet 32nd. There are six former winners of the award in this field, including two who won the race that year (Helio Castroneves in 2001, Rossi in 2016). Castroneves will be taking his fifth shot at winning a record fifth “500.” Also noteworthy is the fact he can break A.J. Foyt’s mark for career miles completed if he is still in the race on Lap 112. Foyt completed 12,272.5 miles over 35 races. Katherine Legge will bid to become the sixth driver to compete in the “500” and NASCAR’s Cup Series race at Charlotte Motor Speedway on the same day. Kyle Larson did both last year. At Indy, Legge will start 26th in an AJ Foyt Racing entry. There are nine former Indy winners in this field, led by reigning champion Alex Palou, the pole sitter. In addition to Palou, Chip Ganassi Racing has 2008 winner Scott Dixon starting 10th. Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing’s Sato starts 12th, Meyer Shank Racing w/Curb Agajanian’s Castroneves 14th, Andretti Global’s Marcus Ericsson and Will Power 17th and 19th, Arrow McLaren’s Ryan Hunter-Reay 22nd and Team Penske’s Newgarden 23rd. With nine former winners, that means 24 drivers could become first-time winners of “The Greatest Spectacle Racing,” a career-making feat. The top starter in that group is Team Penske’s David Malukas in third. Fourteen winners, the second-highest figure in event history, have come from that starting position. Twenty-one were pole winners. Palou will be aiming to become the seventh driver to win the “500” in consecutive years. Castroneves (2001, 2002) and Newgarden (2023, 2024) are already members of that club. He has won 11 of the past 23 series races, including Indy, but this race is a three-hour sprint of its own kind. Palou’s three wins this season have him as the series points leader, putting him pace for a record-tying fourth consecutive season championship and fifth title in six years. That’s important, sure, but like the rest of those chasing the Astor Challenge Cup, that’s a story for another day. The Indianapolis 500 is next. ================================= INDIANA FEVER By Madie Chandler-Donahue | FeverBasketball.com Indiana Fever vs Portland FireWednesday, May 20, 2026Gainbridge Fieldhouse | 7:00 p.m. ETFind Tickets >> Broadcast InformationTV: USA/WALV/Fever Direct – Pat Boylan (play-by-play), Debbie Antonelli (analyst), Kelsie Kasper (sideline reporter)Radio: 93.1 WIBC – John Nolan (play-by-play), Bria Goss (analyst) Probable Starters Indiana Fever (2-2) Guard – Caitlin ClarkGuard – Kelsey MitchellForward – Lexie HullForward – Monique BillingsCenter – Myisha Hines-Allen Portland Fire (2-2) Guard – Sug SuttonGuard – Bridget CarletonForward – Nyadiew PuochForward – Emily EngstlerCenter – Luisa Geiselsoder GAME PREVIEW: The Indiana Fever return to Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Wednesday as they host the Portland Fire in the third game of a four-game homestand. The matchup marks the first contest between the Fever and the Fire as Portland celebrates its inaugural season in the WNBA. Indiana enters the matchup with an even 2-2 record after defeating the Seattle Storm on Sunday. The Fever defense limited Seattle to just 78 points despite missing three time all-star Aliyah Boston. Boston sustained a lower leg injury in Indiana’s May 15 game against the Washington Mystics. Her status for Wednesday’s game remains uncertain. Portland isn’t without its own injury woes – leading scorer Carla Leite missed the Fire’s May 14 game against the New York Liberty with an ankle injury, and was still inactive for their win over the Sun on Monday. Leite averages 19.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 4.5 assists per game through two games this season. The Fever are known for their high-octane offense and 3-point prowess, but Portland also attempts 29 shots from deep per game. The Fire shoot 35 percent from long-range, and currently rank third in the league for made 3-pointers. Indiana comes in at fourth, averaging 9.5 made triples per game. Both Caitlin Clark and Kelsey Mitchell are producing north of 23 points per game for the Fever. Indiana’s backcourt duo is the only pair of teammates in the WNBA this season to each average over 20 points per game. They’ll look to leverage that offensive punch as they seek their third win of the season on Wednesday. The Fever host the Fire on Wednesday, May 20, at 7:00 PM ET before closing out their four-game homestand against the Golden State Valkyries on Friday, May 22. ====================================== INDIANA MEN’S BASKETBALL BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – German center Clemens Sokolov has signed his letter of intent to continue his basketball career at Indiana University under head men’s basketball coach Darian DeVries, the program announced on Tuesday.

DeVries on Sokolov: “Clemens has legitimate Big Ten size and plays hard every night. He is long and physical on the defensive end, has good touch with both hands around the basket, and has shown competitiveness on the glass as he continues to add strength.” ================================= INDIANA BASEBALL ROSEMONT, Ill. – A trio of impact players from the Indiana baseball program were selected to the 2026 All-Big Ten Baseball team on Tuesday (May 19) afternoon. The conference office unveiled the full postseason honors as the Big Ten Tournament begins this week at Charles Schwab Field in Omaha, Nebraska. Sophomore outfielder Hogan Denny, who was a true utility man for the Hoosiers, became the ninth First Team All-Big Ten selection under head coach Jeff Mercer. The Mooresville, Indiana native hit .357 across 51 starts with 18 doubles, 14 home runs and 44 RBIs. He finished in a tie for second in the conference in runs scored (63) during the regular season. He started games at five different positions and batted in each of the top four spots in the order. Since 2019, Denny is the fourth different IU outfielder to earn first team honors. He joins Grant Richardson (2019), Devin Taylor (2023-25) and Korbyn Dickerson (2025) as impact outfielders for the Hoosiers. Denny started 33 games in the outfield, most commonly as the team’s right fielder. He finished top 10 in the conference in batting average, runs scored and doubles. Sophomore first baseman Jake Hanley made his second-straight appearance on the All-Big Ten Second Team as an at-large selection. The Ohio native was the only IU player to start all 54 games for the Hoosiers and finished with the team lead in RBIs (48) and walks (43). He hit .338 in his sophomore campaign with 71 hits, 56 runs scored and 14 home runs. Hanley is the first IU player since at least 2005 to start every game of his freshman and sophomore seasons. He continued his strong defense with a .992 fielding percentage in over 380 chances. Hanley has produced back-to-back seasons of at least 70 hits and 14 home runs. He received enough votes to make the second team as an at-large pick. Graduate student left-handed pitcher Tony Neubeck produced one of the best seasons as a Friday starter in recent memory for the IU program. He pitched in every series and finished the year with a 7-4 record and an ERA of 3.95. One of his best attributes was the command of multiple pitches. He recorded 75 strikeouts and walked just 27 batters on the whole season. Neubeck was named a Big Ten Third Team starting pitcher after finishing tied for fifth in the conference in wins (7). He finished fifth in the conference in ERA among pitchers that started all 14 weekends of the season. It’s the fourth-straight season that IU has had an All-Big Ten starting pitcher. Neubeck was also the team’s Big Ten Sportsmanship award honoree. ==================================== PURDUE BASEBALL WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Sam Flores, Dylan Drake and Avery Moore all produced 1.000 OPS seasons as three of Purdue Baseball’s top offensive performers this season, earning All-Big Ten honors while being recognized among the league’s best at their positions. Flores was honored as a second-team third baseman. Drake and Moore earned spots on the All-Big third team – Drake at second base and Moore in the outfield. They helped lead the Boilermakers to 35 regular-season wins, the program’s most since the 2012 Big Ten championship team was 41-12 entering the Big Ten Tournament. Purdue had three hitters named All-Big Ten for the third time in the last decade, also producing three such honorees from the lineup in 2021 and 2024. Flores is the Boilers’ first All-Big Ten honoree at third base since future big leaguer Cameron Perkins was first-team All-Big Ten as the 3-hole hitter on the 2012 team. Senior Aaron Manias was recognized as the program’s Big Ten Sportsmanship honoree. As a team leader and Academic All-American, Manias has started games at three different positions (DH, LF, 1B) this season while playing through a back injury and producing another 1.000 OPS season. Flores has been the team’s top run producer and clutch hitter while starting every game at third base. He entered the Big Ten Tournament with 11 home runs, 16 doubles, 28 extra-base hits and 53 RBI – all team highs. He’s batting. 462 (30-for-65) with runners in scoring position, .124 points higher than Purdue’s impressive .338 team mark in run-scoring opportunities. The native Texan was even better in Big Ten play (17-for-34, .500 with RISP). With a runner on third and less than two outs, he plated that runner in 14 of his 15 opportunities and was a perfect 10 of 10 in league play. Flores also stole eight bases and performed well defensively. Moore batted .418 in Big Ten play and posted a 1.270 OPS while reaching base safely in more than half of his plate appearances (48 of 94, .511 OBP). He did it despite being 2-for-20 on the season entering play on March 28. By batting .418 with 19 extra-base hits and 31 RBI over the final 28 games of the regular season, the senior enjoyed one of the finest second halves for a Purdue hitter this century. He also helped the Boilermakers keep winning even after losing four position players, including three outfielders, due to injury for much of April. Moore enjoyed the finest Senior Day game in Alexander Field history – 4-for-4 with four extra-base hits and four RBI – as Purdue completed its first sweep of rival Indiana since 2011. It highlighted a stretch in which he went 8-for-8 with seven extra-base hits and a hit by pitch across nine consecutive plate appearances from May 9-14. Drake was among the Big Ten’s top offensive performers at second base, posting a .350/.435/.598 slash line along with 16 extra-base hits and 23 RBI in only 117 at-bats. Headlined by a go-ahead grand slam in the eighth inning of the series-opening comeback win at Maryland on March 13, 12 of those 16 extra-base hits came in Big Ten play. He went on to post a 10-game hit streak in March, registering multiple hits in six consecutive games during the surge; his average has not dipped below .340 since. A broken hamate bone in his wrist suffered during the April 11 win at Northwestern kept him out of the batter’s box for over a month, but he managed to extend an on-base streak to 10 consecutive games when he returned to the lineup last weekend. The Boilermakers won six consecutive Big Ten series this season for the first time since 2012 and have enjoyed 11 winning weekends. Their fifth-place finish in the 17-team league represented the program’s best since taking second in 2018. ===== OMAHA, Neb. – An early 7-0 deficit after two innings put Purdue Baseball in a hole it could not overcome this time, falling to Michigan State 8-4 Tuesday in the opening game of the Big Ten Tournament. The Boilermakers (35-19) play another morning game Wednesday at 10 a.m. ET vs. Illinois in the first elimination contest of the six-day event. Purdue scored four times over the final two innings but was unable to overcome a 8-0 deficit entering the bottom of the eighth. The Boilermakers have rallied back from seven runs down twice this season, including March 28 at Michigan State (23-31). But on this day, the game ended with the potential tying run standing on deck. The Spartans sent 16 men to the plate over the first two innings while building their 7-0 lead. Michigan State took advantage of a leadoff walk and a fielding error on a potential double play ball, which occurred on consecutive pitches before the game was five minutes old. A squeeze bunt followed and Khamaree Thomas was called safe on a close play at first base to give MSU yet another extra out. Four of the bottom five batters in the Spartans’ lineup also reached base safely before Purdue finally got an out at the plate to end the four-run first inning. Four hits and a sacrifice fly made it 7-0 Michigan State as the top of the second came to a close. Cole Van Assen eventually settled in and pitched into the eighth inning for the second time as a Boilermaker. The only hit he surrendered from the third though seventh innings was a two-out solo home run by Parker Picot in the top of the fourth. One of the few consolations to the Purdue dugout Tuesday was that at least Van Assen (6-5) successfully saved the bullpen from extended work on the opening day of the tournament. Aidan Donovan (6-3) did the same while posting a quality start for Michigan State. The sophomore took a no-hitter into the sixth inning and a shutout into the eighth. He faced the minimum through the first 16 batters he faced before Dylan Drake’s single with one out in the bottom of the sixth. Brandon Rogers beat the shift with a two-out, two-run single through the right side to get Purdue on the board in the eighth inning. The Boilermakers sent seven men to the plate the following frame, forcing MSU to go to veteran reliever Nolan Higgins for the final two outs. Sam Flores and Jackson Bessette connected for consecutive doubles to open the ninth inning. Thomas made the key defensive play of the frame, a sprawling catch on the warning track with his back to home plate. That gem was sandwiched in between a pair of hit batsmen and turned into a sac fly for Drake instead of a likely two-run triple. Purdue has not played Illinois at the Big Ten Tournament since the 2018 semifinals. STREAKS EXTENDED • Aaron Manias: 15-game on-base; 11-game hit vs Big Ten teams; 7-game hit overall • Dylan Drake: 11-game on-base; 10-game on-base vs Big Ten teams • Jackson Bessette: 11-game on-base; 7-game on-base vs Big Ten teams • Avery Moore: 10-game hit; 8-game hit vs Big Ten teams • Brandon Rogers: 7-game hit (all vs Big Ten teams) • Trey Swiderski: 6-game on-base (all vs Big Ten teams) ==================================== PURDUE MEN’S GOLF CORVALLIS, Ore. – The Purdue men’s golf team remained in the hunt for a Regional championship, sitting in second place after 36 holes at the NCAA Corvallis Regional held at Trysting Tree Golf Club in Corvallis, Oregon.

Purdue once again started fast, playing the first five holes in six-under par and taking a five-shot lead in the team race over Oklahoma, reaching 18-under par as a team. However, over the next seven holes (6 to 13), Purdue lost five shots and the Sooners surged ahead. Rallying in the latter half of the back nine, the Boilermakers torched the par-5s, playing holes 14 and 16 in a combined 7-under par on the counting team to right the ship and stay within range of the Sooners after 36 holes. In the second round, Purdue’s five players had 12 birdies on the three par-5 holes and had a stretch where 11 straight Boilermakers made a birdie on a par-5, playing the par-5s in the second round with a 4.20 average. The Boilermakers lead the field with 43 birdies in the first two rounds. Supapon Amornchaichan continues to shine during NCAA competition, sitting in a tie for fifth at 6-under par 136 (68-68). Amornchaichan shot a 68 despite a double-bogey on hole No. 6, and sits just three shots off the pace. Amornchaichan is looking for his third straight top-15 showing in NCAA competition.

The All-American Second Team honor is the first national award for Polar, who finishes the season as the nation’s leader in two major categories. The USA Softball Top 25 Player of the Year finalist put together one of best campaigns seen in Purdue softball history, breaking two individual Purdue records (single-season hits, single-season runs scored), tying the career-triples record, and writing herself into the Big Ten record book and NCAA record book, tying for second in single-season hits and taking the seven spot for single-season batting average, respectively. The current national leader in hits (101), and the Big Ten leader in hits, batting average (.555), and stolen bases (31), Polar adds to her postseason awards resume after already being named First Team All-Big Ten and First-Team NFCA All-Region. Moore, alongside Polar, etched herself into the Purdue record book as one the program’s top first year players. The NFCA Top 25 Freshman of the Year finalist broke Purdue’s freshman home run record, broke the single-season RBI record, and tied the program’s single season record. The Indianapolis native finished the season hitting just below .400 (.393) with 59 hits, 61 RBI, and a team-leading 14 home runs. Moore earned her fourth and fifth Big Ten accolades this year, landing on both the All-Big Ten First Team, and the All-Big Ten freshman team. ==================================== NOTRE DAME BASEBALL CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Notre Dame baseball team battled their way to a 5-4 win over Clemson in the first round of the ACC Tournament at Truist Field on Tuesday evening. Jack Radel capped off a three-up, three-down first inning with a strikeout for the Irish. Drew Berkland then put Notre Dame ahead with a solo home run to opposite field for a quick 1-0 lead. Radel, meanwhile, needed just seven pitches to retire the side in order in the top of the second. The Tigers equalized the game with a solo homer of their own in the top of the third and used a two-out triple to drive in a second run. Bino Watters drew the Irish back even in the bottom half of the inning with an opposite-field shot of his own to make it a 2-2 game. Noah Coy kept the inning alive with a single to left-center field and moved into scoring position on a wild pitch. Jayce Lee battled his way to a double down the left field line, and Coy came around to score for a 3-2 Irish lead. Radel forced the Tigers into stranding a runner at second with a strikeout and a ground out to end the top of the fourth. Radel then had a three-up, three-down effort in the top of the fifth to keep the game at 3-2 in favor of Notre Dame. Jayce Lee drilled a 3-1 pitch to right-center field and beyond the wall to put the Irish up 4-2 through six complete. The Tigers put a run on the scoreboard in the top of the seventh with a home run to cut the margin to one at 4-3 before Dylan Singleton closed out the inning with an infield ground out.

No. 6 seed Ball State (25-28, 18-15 Mid-American Conference) swept Bowling Green over the weekend to enter postseason play on a four-game winning streak. The Cardinals needed one win to clinch a spot in the six-team field and got it with a 6-3 decision in Thursday’s series opener. Toledo (29-27, 21-12 MAC) won a tiebreaker with Northern Illinois to claim the No. 3 seed in the conference tournament. The Rockets went 2-2 last week including a 9-6 win over Kent State in Saturday’s regular season finale. The two teams faced off a few weeks ago, as the Rockets swept a three-game set at home on the first three days of the month of May. Head coach Rob Reinstetle is in his seventh season as the head coach at Toledo, who was picked to finish fourth in the MAC preseason poll. The Rockets pace the MAC and are among the national leaders in doubles (133, No. 5 in NCAA Division I), getting hit by pitches (133, No. 2) and total hits (581, No. 16). The Toledo offense is second in the MAC and No. 23 nationally in runs scored (443). One of the top pitching staffs in the league, the Rockets lead the conference in strikeouts per nine innings (9.7) and rank second in the MAC in both ERA (5.47) and WHIP (1.51). Redshirt junior third baseman Troy Sudbrook is the national leader in doubles (32) while ranking second in the MAC and No. 25 in NCAA Division I with 66 RBI. Senior right-handed pitcher Nathan Leininger boasts the top ERA in the league (2.90) among qualifiers and has notched the second-most strikeouts (82). If Ball State beats Toledo, the Cardinals will be scheduled to face top seed Miami at 2 p.m. on Thursday. With a loss, Ball State will either play No. 4 seed Northern Illinois or No. 5 seed Western Michigan at 10 a.m. on Thursday. COMING IN HOT: Ball State enters the MAC Tournament riding a four-game winning streak after sweeping Bowling Green over the weekend. The last time a Ball State team went into the conference tourney on that long of a streak was in 2022 when the Cardinals swept a four-game series from Miami on its way to a MAC regular season title. REMATCH WITH THE ROCKETS: Ball State and Toledo are set to square off in the MAC Tournament for the third straight season. The Cardinals knocked the Rockets out of the tournament in 2024 with a 5-1 win in the opener and a 4-3 decision two days later. Toledo got revenge in 2025 with a 13-10 win to erase Ball State from the double elimination bracket. DOING DAMAGE AS THE DESIGNATED HITTER: Sophomore Brayden Huebner stands among the league leaders in multiple offensive categories entering this weekend. The right-handed batter, who has slotted in as the DH and leadoff hitter for the balance of the season, ranks third in the MAC in slugging percentage (.661), fourth in OPS (1.099) and runs scored (61), eighth in doubles (15) and tenth in homers (12). CLEAN FIELDING AND TURNING TWO: Ball State leads the league in double plays turned (42) and ranks third in the MAC with a .977 fielding percentage. The 2025 Cardinals finished the season ranking fourth in NCAA Division I in fielding percentage (.983) and 20th with 49 double plays. QUICK CARDINALS: Seniors Gavin Balius and Brett Griffiths are near the top of the national leaderboards in stolen bases and triples, respectively. Balius has swiped 40 bags to pace the MAC and rank fourth in NCAA Division I, while Griffith’s six triples are the eighth-most nationally. Justin Love (44 steals in 1997) and Zach Cole (nine triples in 2022) hold Ball State program records in those categories. SEVENTEEN ON SUNDAY: The Ball State offense scored 17 runs in the May 10 win at Northern Illinois for the third time in MAC play this year. The scoring output ties a team-best in conference play with previous wins against Eastern Michigan (17-13 on March 13) and Ohio (17-7 on March 29). This is the first time since the 2016 season that Ball State has scored 17+ runs in a MAC game three times in a year. That season’s team put up 17 and 20 runs in back-to-back games against Ohio in early April and 21 vs Western Michigan the following week. COMEBACK CARDINALS: Ball State’s 10-9 win over UMass on April 25 was its fifth this season when trailing entering the ninth inning. The walk-off home run from Jack Bakus was the first of the year for the Cardinals, while Griffiths delivered a pair of walk-off knocks earlier in the campaign (March 8 vs Central Michigan and April 11 vs Akron). The two wins at Western Michigan (March 21 and 22) also featured comebacks from down 6-3 and 4-3 going into the ninth, respectively. ============================= BALL STATE WOMEN’S BASKETBALL MUNCIE, Ind. — Ball State head women’s basketball head coach Brady Sallee has officially announced the high-profile commitment of New Zealand standout Jennifer Mailei (Sydney, New South Wales, Australia) to the Cardinals’ 2026 roster. “I was very specific with the skill type we wanted to complete our roster for next season and we hit the nail on the head with Jennifer,” Sallee said. “She is tough and physical along with being very versatile and skilled. She will add to the athleticism we’ve already brought to this roster. Once we got to know her, it was clear to me that she is a Ball State type of young lady…she fits our culture well!

The first team All-OVC honor is the first of Wall’s career and the third for the Screaming Eagles in the last two seasons. Wall is fifth on USI and a top 30 hitter in the OVC this season, hitting .309 overall (51-165) with a team-high five home runs and second-ranked 45 RBI in 48 contests this spring. He also had 32 runs scored, five doubles, a triple, and four stolen bases. The six-foot-six catcher recorded 16 multi-hit and 11 multi-RBI games. In OVC action, Wall started 26 of the 29 conference games, hitting .337 with a team-high 20 RBI. He also tied for first on the squad with three home runs and 21 runs scored. Wall and USI start OVC Championship action at 3 p.m. (or one hour following the completion of game one due to weather) Tuesday at Mtn Dew Park in Marion, Illinois. The Eagles, seeded eighth, play Morehead State, the fifth seed, in the second game. ===== EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana junior right-hander Ryan Weller threw seven strong innings and led the Screaming Eagles to a 6-2 victory over Morehead State Tuesday afternoon in the opening round of the Ohio Valley Baseball Championship at Mtn Dew Park in Marion, Illinois. USI, the eighth seed, is 28-27, while Morehead State, the fifth seed, is 31-24. Weller (4-5) dominated for seven frames, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks, while tying a season high with seven strikeouts. The seven innings were the longest outing by Weller since he went seven against Morehead on the road in April. USI started the scoring in the first inning when senior catcher Micajah Wall knocked in a tally on a fielder’s choice. The Screaming Eagles increased the margin to 3-0 in the second on a RBI-triple by junior second baseman Zion Stephens and a RBI-single by senior leftfielder Hunter Miller. After the MSU Eagles cut the margin to 3-2 with a tally in the third and fourth, USI sealed the victory with a three-run sixth. Junior third baseman Parker Martin drove in the fourth run of the game with a RBI-double before graduate rightfielder Noah Foster blasted a two-run home run for the fifth and sixth runs of the game. The home run was Foster’s third of the year. Following Weller’s exit after the seventh, junior right-hander Trey O’Neil blanked Morehead over the last two frames, allowing a hit and striking out three. Up Next for the Screaming Eagles: USI advances to the double-elimination round of the OVC Baseball Championship and is slated to play fourth-seeded Little Rock Wednesday at 7 p.m. at Mt. Dew Park. The Trojans are 30-25 this year and took two of three from the Screaming Eagles during the regular season. Little Rock leads the all-time series with USI, 9-4. ==================================== VALPO BASEBALL Valparaiso University baseball redshirt senior right-handed pitcher Connor Lockwood (Libertyville, Ill. / Libertyville) was recognized by the Missouri Valley Conference on Tuesday as he closed out his collegiate career by earning 2026 All-MVC Second Team honors and achieving a place on the MVC All-Defensive Team. Lockwood led the conference in innings pitched for the second consecutive season, logging 93 1/3 innings, a full seven innings ahead of the player who finished second in that category. There were nine total complete games by Missouri Valley Conference pitchers this season, and Lockwood threw four of them with no one else tossing more than one. Lockwood tied with two others for the Division-I national lead in complete games with four. The CG in the final start of his career on Friday at Southern Illinois – part of a memorable 9-4 victory over the Salukis – was the seventh of his career, second most among active players nationally. Lockwood led the MVC and ranked third nationally in walks allowed per nine innings at 0.87 as he issued just nine walks in 93 1/3 innings this season. He ranked second in the MVC and 15th nationally in strikeout-to-walk ratio at 6.56. Lockwood ranked 10th in the league in strikeouts with 59 and finished the season 20th nationally among active players in career strikeouts with 251. He finished the season as the NCAA Division-I leader in innings pitched among active players with 329 1/3, outdoing Alabama State’s Jorhan LaBoy by two innings. Lockwood also ranked in the top 10 in the Missouri Valley Conference in ERA, posting a career-best 3.86 as a senior this season. Lockwood finished among the program’s all-time career leaders in strikeouts and innings pitched, ranking seventh in program history in strikeouts with 251 and second in innings pitched with 329 1/3. He was a four-time MVC Pitcher of the Week in his career including once this season after throwing a shutout against Alabama State on Feb. 28 of this season, a game that included him achieving one of baseball’s rarest feats – an immaculate inning. That showing helped him earn the Valparaiso University Male Performance of the Year Award at the 2026 ARC Awards, the department’s end-of-year awards banquet. Earlier in his career, Lockwood earned 2025 All-MVC Honorable Mention, 2025 Valpo Male Perseverance Award and 2024 Male Comeback Athlete of the Year Award. This marks the 10th time a Valpo player has earned first or second team all-conference honors since the department joined the MVC and Lockwood becomes the eighth different player (Blake Billinger and Kaleb Hannahs were two-time honorees) and just the third pitcher to unlock that achievement. He joins fellow Libertyville, Ill. native Colin Fields (2022) and Easton Rhodehouse (2021) as Valpo pitchers to garner first or second team All-MVC status. Lockwood became the first Valpo player to earn first or second team All-MVC recognition since Hannahs in 2024. Lockwood became the fourth Valpo player named to the MVC All-Defensive Team, joining Hannahs (2022), Jayden Eggimann (2018) and Scott Kapers (2018). Redshirt senior catcher Eli Riley (Zanesville, Ind. / Norwell) finished fourth in the league’s Defensive Player of the Year voting. Riley was among the most proficient catchers nationally in cutting down would-be base stealers, as he ranked in the top 10 nationally by throwing out 25 runners this season, the most by a Valpo player since Billy Cribbs in 2013. Cal Schembra (Greenwood, Ind. / Center Grove) tied for the runner-up for the league’s Freshman of the Year Award after hitting .262 and slugging .481 with seven home runs, 33 RBIs and 37 runs scored while stealing nine bases and playing good defense in center field. 2026 All-Missouri Valley Conference Baseball Teams First Team Yr.

Each Red Stockings home game will feature a different player so that spectators can collect them and have a full set of Boston’s players by season’s end. This marketing strategy will be used throughout the 19th century and will ultimately evolve into Tobacco cards and, eventually, Baseball cards. 1878 – In a 3 – 1 loss to the White Stockings at Chicago’s Lake Front Park, right-hander Jim McCormick of the Indianapolis Blues becomes the first player born in Scotland to appear in a major league game. Next season, as a 23 year-old, the Glasgow native will manage the team, which will move to Cleveland, making him the youngest skipper in the history of the game. 1881 – Mike “King” Kelly scores the go-ahead run by cutting short the distance rounding the bases. Kelly doesn’t come close to touching third while the umpire is looking a different direction. Kelly then pulls off the hidden ball trick in the 9th inning to preserve the win for the Chicago White Stockings over Boston, 5 – 4. 1918 – In what will become a precursor of a tragic event, Indians outfielder Tris Speaker is struck on the head by a pitch thrown by Red Sox hurler Carl Mays. The submarine pitcher, who will fatally bean Ray Chapman with a ball in 1920 as a member of the Yankees, denies Speaker’s allegation that the pitch was intentional. 1919 – Babe Ruth wins a game pitching and batting as he hits his first career grand slam in the Boston Red Sox’s 6 – 4 victory over the St. Louis Browns at Sportsman’s Park. 1921 – Hal Newhouser is born in Detroit, Michigan. In 1939, Newhouser will make his major league debut for his hometown team, the Detroit Tigers. A left-handed pitcher, he will win 207 games over a 17-year career and will gain Hall of Fame honors in 1992. 1925 – The Cleveland Indians score six runs in the bottom of the 9th inning to beat the New York Yankees, 10 – 9. Tris Speaker scores the winning run from first base on a single. 1932 – Paul Waner of the Pittsburgh Pirates hits four doubles in one game to tie a major league record. 1940 – Tigers batter Pinky Higgins hits three consecutive home runs at Briggs Stadium. The third baseman’s offensive output contributes to Detroit’s 10 – 7 victory over Boston. 1941 – Lefty Grove of the Boston Red Sox wins his 20th consecutive game at Fenway Park, the longest home park streak in the major leagues, in a 4 – 2 victory over the Detroit Tigers. 1945 – One-armed outfielder Pete Gray of the St. Louis Browns enjoys an incredible day against the New York Yankees. Gray makes three outstanding catches, collects four hits with two RBI, and scores the game-winning run during a doubleheader sweep of the Yankees. 1947 The Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Boston Braves, 4 – 3, in a game that features 22 hits – all singles. The Pirates hit 12 singles, the Braves ten. A’s catcher Buddy Rosar drops Walt Judnich’s pop-up, ending his record-setting errorless game streak at 147 games. The All-Star backstop’s perfect fielding included the span of the 117 games he played for Philadelphia last season, handling 605 chances without a miscue during the entire campaign. 1948 – Joe DiMaggio of the New York Yankees hits for the cycle and collects six RBI in a 13 – 2 victory over the Chicago White Sox. DiMaggio hits two home runs, a triple, a double and a single, and narrowly misses another extra-base hit when Chicago left fielder Ralph Hodgin makes a spectacular catch at the wall. 1951 – Richie Ashburn of the Philadelphia Phillies collects four hits in each game of a doubleheader as the Phillies sweep the rival Pittsburgh Pirates, 17 – 0 and 12 – 4, at Forbes Field. 1953 – The Milwaukee Braves play their 13th home game and surpass the attendance total for the previous season, when the franchise played in Boston. The crowd at County Stadium raises Milwaukee’s attendance to 281,278 for the current season. 1959 – The Detroit Tigers beat the New York Yankees, 13 – 6, to put New York in last place for the first time in 19 years. 1962 – In a doubleheader, Chicago Cubs rookie Ken Hubbs hits eight singles in eight at bats as the Cubs sweep the Philadelphia Phillies, 6 – 4 and 11 – 2. 1968 – California Angels shortstop Jim Fregosi hits for the cycle during a 5 – 4 loss to the Boston Red Sox. The cycle is the second of Fregosi’s career, tying him with several others for the American League record. 1969 – At RFK Stadium, Pilots manager Joe Schultz is ejected for disputing Bernie Allen’s 4th-inning “foul” two-run home run that ties the score at 4 in a game his team will eventually lose to Washington, 6 – 5. According to Jim Bouton’s account in his book, Ball Four, the Seattle skipper is tossed after offering his glasses to home plate umpire Ed Runge. 1970 – One big hit, one big drop, two wild pitches and one bad hop are what it takes for Pittsburgh to prevail, 3 – 2, in 14 innings over Philadelphia. The big hit is Roberto Clemente’s 3rd-inning triple, a 440-plus-footer off Forbes Field’s left-centerfield light tower, which drives in Freddie Patek with the tying run. In the 8th, John Briggs drops a fly ball hit by Al Oliver, which allows Matty Alou to score the tying run. Alou will also score the game-winner six innings later, courtesy of two consecutive wild pitches by Dick Selma, the latter featuring the aforementioned bad hop, off the cement beneath the backstop screen, which allows Alou to score the walk-off tally from second base. 1971 – Martin Dihigo dies in Cienfuegos, Cuba, at the age of 65. Over the course of his career, Dihigo made seamless transitions between all nine positions and played in several countries. As a hitter, he won both batting average and home run titles; as a pitcher, he won more than 250 games and once defeated Satchel Paige while touring Cuba. He will be elected to the American Hall of Fame in 1977 and also was or will be voted into the Cuban, Mexican and Latin American Baseball Hall of Fame. 1973 – Johnny Edwards belts a three-run homer as Houston builds a 7 – 0 lead against the Giants. San Francisco rallies to tie it but Jim Wynn smashes a solo shot off Sam McDowell in the 9th for an 8 – 7 victory. The Astros take over first place in the NL West. 1978: Willie Stargell of the Pittsburgh Pirates hits a 535-foot home run off Montreal Expos pitcher Wayne Twitchell to highlight a 6 – 0 victory at Stade Olympique. It is the longest home run in the ballpark’s history and is also Stargell’s 407th career home run, tying him with Duke Snider on the all-time list. J.R. Richard fires his second straight shutout in a 13 – 0 drubbing of the Braves. Jose Cruz is the batting star with four hits and six RBIs. Enos Cabell contributes three hits while Denny Walling launches his first major league home run. 1979 – Don Sutton becomes the franchise’s winningest pitcher when he is credited with the victory, tossing eight innings in the Dodgers’ 6 – 4 victory over the Reds at Riverfront Stadium. The 34-year-old right-hander’s 210th win surpasses the team mark established in 1969 by Don Drysdale. 1983 – Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Steve Carlton passes Walter Johnson to move into second place on the all-time strikeout list. Carlton’s four strikeouts put him at 3,511, just ten behind Nolan Ryan of the Houston Astros. Ryan had bettered Johnson’s record earlier in the month. 1984 – Roger Clemens earns his first major league victory as the Boston Red Sox beat the Minnesota Twins, 5 – 4. 1985: A game between the Cleveland Indians and Milwaukee Brewers scheduled for Municipal Stadium is postponed due to rain, representing the first rainout of the season. The cancellation marks the latest point that the first rainout of a season has taken place. A record 458 games have been played prior to the initial rainout. In the top of the 4th inning in Philadelphia, Jeff Leonard bats to lead off the inning. He hits Steve Carlton’s pitch for an apparent home run. However, umpire Dick Stello calls the ball in play and Leonard ends up with a double. 1988: Mike Schmidt belts the 535th home run of his career during 1st inning at San Diego, CA off Padres starting pitcher Andy Hawkins, moving Schmidt past Jimmie Foxx into sole possession of eighth place on the all-time home run list. Billy Hatcher delivers five hits during a 5 – 3 triumph in St. Louis. His last one snaps a 2 – 2 tie in the top of the 9th, driving in Terry Puhl. Bob Knepper picks up his sixth win – lowering his ERA to 0.89 for the season. The two sides commit seven errors and even Cardinal wizard Ozzie Smith is not immune. 1991: Pete Runnels dies in Pasadena, Texas, at the age of 63. A bright light on otherwise dismal teams, Runnels won two American League batting titles for the Boston Red Sox, was a three-time All-Star, and batted .291 over a 14-year career that also included stints with the Washington Senators and the Houston Colt .45s. Jeff Reardon earns his 300th career save and Steve Lyons and Jack Clark hit home runs as the Boston Red Sox beat the Milwaukee Brewers, 3 – 0. 1995 – Jeff Shaw walks home Craig Biggio with the winning run in the 10th as Houston nips the Expos, 2 – 1. Pinch-hitter Dave Magadan takes ball four to end the game. John Hudek picks up the win. 1999: Robin Ventura becomes the first major leaguer to hit grand slams in both games of a doubleheader, leading the New York Mets to a sweep over the Milwaukee Brewers, 11 – 10 and 10 – 1. On September 4, 1995, Ventura also hit two grand slams in a single game while playing for the Chicago White Sox. Billy Wagner surrenders two homers but Houston hangs on for a 4 – 3, ten-inning victory in Los Angeles. A double by Derek Bell and a sacrifice fly by Ken Caminiti in the 10th salvage the win after light-hitting Tripp Cromer takes Wagner deep with two down in the bottom of the 9th. 2000 – After being released earlier in the month by the Mets for not hustling, Rickey Henderson, in his initial at-bat for the Mariners, hits his record 76th career leadoff home run, a shot off Esteban Yan in his team’s 4 – 3 loss to Tampa Bay at Safeco Field. With the round-tripper, the future Hall of Fame outfielder joins Ted Williams and Willie McCovey as the third major leaguer to have homered in four different decades. 2001 – Barry Bonds of the San Francisco Giants hits two home runs in a 11 – 6 loss to the Atlanta Braves, giving him a total of five homers in two games, becoming the 23rd player in major league history to do so. 2006 A uniform worn by Joe DiMaggio in his final World Series is sold for $195,500 during the second day of an auction of his memorabilia. The previous day, DiMaggio’s 1947 American League MVP Award plaque was sold for $281,750, which included a 15 percent buyer’s premium. It was his third MVP award, but it is the only plaque. The two-day auction features more than 1,000 items of DiMaggio memorabilia, also including a leather-bound album featuring autographs from DiMaggio’s New York Yankees teammates and members of the Boston Red Sox, a typed note signed by Frank Sinatra, and a signed photo of DiMaggio’s one-time wife, Marilyn Monroe. The auction is held by Hunt’s Auctions Inc. in New York City. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital in Hollywood, Florida. Barry Bonds of the San Francisco Giants hits a home run in an interleague game against the Oakland Athletics, tying his home run count with that of Babe Ruth at 714. The ball is hit at the McAfee Coliseum against pitcher Brad Halsey, a left-hander. Because of interleague play, Bonds is the designated hitter rather than his normal spot in the outfield. In interleague play, Josh Beckett hits a solo home run, picks up an RBI single, and pitches seven solid innings to lead the Boston Red Sox over the Philadelphia Phillies, 8 – 4, at Citizens Bank Park. Because the designated hitter isn’t used in National League parks during interleague play, regular Red Sox DH David Ortiz starts at first base. Beckett posts his third straight win and gives the AL East-leading Boston its tenth victory in 13 games. He also becomes the first Red Sox pitcher to hit a home run since Marty Pattin on September 26, 1972. Russell Branyan’s two-run homer with two outs in the bottom of the 9th inning boosts the Tampa Bay Devil Rays to a 4 – 3 victory over the Florida Marlins. It marks Tampa Bay’s second straight victory in its last at-bat. Aubrey Huff was the hero the previous day, clubbing a game-winning solo home run off Yusmeiro Petit to lead off the bottom of the 10th in a 5 – 4 win. This is the eighth time this season the Marlins have lost in their opponents’ final at-bat. Florida has lost four straight games when entering the 9th inning with a lead, tying the major league record set by Tampa Bay in May 2002. 2008 – Mike Piazza announces his retirement. A 12-time All-Star, Piazza hit .308/.377/.545 in 16 seasons after having been picked in the 62nd round of the amateur draft. He socked 427 home runs, scored 1,048 runs and drove in 1,335 and set the all-time major league record for homers by a catcher. At the time of his retirement, Piazza is 30th in history in slugging, 39th in home runs and 64th in OPS+. Many opine that he is the greatest hitting catcher ever, though others argue the claim, citing Josh Gibson or others. 2009: Houston manager Cecil Cooper presents an incorrect lineup card to umpire Eric Cooper. When leadoff hitter Michael Bourn singles off Yovani Gallardo, Brewers manager Ken Macha objects and the umps call out Kazuo Matsui, who is standing in the on-deck circle, as Bourn batted out of turn. Bourn then returns to the plate, draws a walk and scores on Lance Berkman’s double. Houston wins, 6 – 4, behind the pitching of Wandy Rodriguez. David Ortiz ends the longest home run drought of his career, lasting 39 games since September 22nd last year, when he connects for the first time this season off Brett Cecil of the Blue Jays in an 8 – 3 Boston win. Red Sox centerfielder Jacoby Ellsbury ties a major league record by recording 12 putouts behind pitcher Brad Penny. The wife of Diamondbacks pitcher Scott Schoeneweis, Gabrielle, is found dead of a drug overdose at their home, leaving Schoeneweis in sole charge of four children under the age of 16. 2010: Ubaldo Jimenez of the Rockies flirts with his second no-hitter of the year, allowing only an infield single to Humberto Quintero before leaving the game after the 7th inning because of leg cramps. The Rockies win, 4 – 0, and Jimenez is now 8-1 with an ERA of 0.99. The Braves score a 9th-inning touchdown to overtake the Reds, after trailing 8 – 0 earlier and being down by six runs when the fateful inning starts. After another good start by rookie Mike Leake, reliever Mike Lincoln gives up four consecutive singles to start the 9th, scoring two runs. He is replaced by Nick Masset, who walks Cody Ross to load the bases; Martin Prado follows with an apparent double play grounder, but 3B Miguel Cairo fails to get the ball out of his glove and the score is now 9 – 6. Arthur Rhodes strikes out Jason Heyward for the first out and Francisco Cordero comes in to face pinch-hitter Brooks Conrad. Conrad hits a drive to deep left field which deflects off the glove of Laynce Nix and falls in the stands for a walk-off grand slam. It is only the second time in major league history that a pinch-hit grand slam overcomes a three-run deficit to end a game; the first was on July 8, 1950, by Jack Phillips of the Pirates. Joey Votto also hit a grand slam earlier in the game for the Reds, and Craig Kimbrel earns his first big league win. 2011: The Chicago Cubs make their first visit to Fenway Park since the 1918 World Series, but the Red Sox prove to be poor hosts, whacking them, 15 – 5. The Cubs commit four errors and give up 19 hits, while the Sox take advantage of the Green Monster to launch six doubles and a pair of homers in its direction. Adrian Gonzalez has four hits and four RBI in the Sox’s seventh straight win. After being shut out by the Mets in back-to-back games, the Nationals have their biggest offensive game since moving to Washington, DC in 2005. They beat the Orioles, 17 – 5, launching six homers. Jayson Werth hits two of the long balls, and Danny Espinosa, who collects six RBI, Roger Bernadina, Wilson Ramos and Laynce Nix hit the others. Both the 17 runs and the six homers are team marks since the move to the nation’s capital. 2012: With his bench depleted with two outs in the 13th inning, Padres manager Bud Black turns to P Clayton Richard to pinch-hit against the Angels’ David Pauley. Breaking out of an 0-for-16 slump for the season, Richard singles, then scores from first base when LF Howie Kendrick bobbles Will Venable’s hit to give San Diego a 3 – 2 win. Kendrick is also playing in an unfamiliar role, having been moved from his usual 2B after injuries to OFs Vernon Wells and Ryan Langerhans. Max Scherzer strikes out 15 batters in seven innings to lead the Tigers to a 4 – 3 win over the Pirates. The strikeouts are one shy of the club record of 16, held by Mickey Lolich, and represent the highest total in the major leagues so far this season. 2013 – Two of the best pitchers so far this season throw complete game three-hitters today. Clayton Kershaw of Los Angeles defeats Milwaukee, 3 – 1, a win that saves manager Don Mattingly’s job at least for now, as the Dodgers have been badly underperforming in spite of splurging on high-salaried players over the past 12 months. Matt Kemp hits his first homer in almost a month and Andre Ethier also homers and adds a triple, but is ejected by umpire Dan Bellino for arguing a called third strike in the 8th inning. Patrick Corbin also pitches a gem in Coors Field, getting his first career complete game, as Arizona defeats the Rockies, 5 – 1. Corbin is now 7-0 with a 1.44 ERA, which only trails Kershaw’s 1.35 in the National League. 2014: Masahiro Tanaka suffers his first loss in the majors when the Cubs beat the Yankees, 6 – 1, behind Jason Hammel. Tanaka was unbeaten in 42 straight regular season starts, since August 19, 2012, including a perfect 24-0 season in Nippon Pro Baseball in 2013, although he had lost a postseason start during the streak. Chris Davis has a three-homer day to lead the Orioles to a 9 – 2 win over the Pirates. The second three-homer game of his career doubles his total for the year, a far cry from his breakout season in 2013 when he hit nine long balls in April alone on his way to 53, tops in the majors and a Baltimore club record. At age 55, Julio Franco returns to professional baseball with a 1-for-3 night for the Fort Worth Cats of the independent United League. Hired for the Cats’ current homestand as a player-coach, Franco has now played professionally in five decades, having started in the minor leagues in 1978. He had retired in 2008 before his return this year. Mike Hessman of the Toledo Mud Hens connects for his 400th minor league homer, against Scott Diamond of the Rochester Red Wings in an International League contest. Hessman is only the eighth player to reach the mark, and the fourth to do it entirely in U.S.-based leagues, as the top four minor league home run hitters of all time all spent the bulk of their career in Mexico. 2017 – The White Sox sign teenage Cuban outfielder Luis Robert to a $25 million contract. The deal will put them over their international signing limit for the next two years. 2018 – Rookie Jordan Hicks of the Cardinals ties Aroldis Chapman’s record for the fastest pitch ever recorded by pumping a couple of fastballs at 105 mph while facing Odubel Herrera of the Phillies. The first one goes for a ball, and Herrera manages to foul off the second before striking out on a pitched timed at 103.7 mph. 2019 – Two players manage a very rare feat for the Reno Aces against the Tacoma Rainiers in a Pacific Coast League game: Matt Szczur becomes the fourth player in team history to hit for the cycle, while Yasmany Tomas has a four-homer game in a 25 – 8 win. The two feats have been achieved simultaneously only once before in baseball history, when Lou Gehrig hit four homers and Tony Lazzeri hit for the cycle on June 3, 1932 in a 20 – 13 Yankees win over the Athletics. 2024 – With a two-run shot off Taj Bradley in the 4th inning, Rafael Devers homers in his sixth straight game for a new Red Sox franchise record. Devers’ hitting, coupled with a strong performance by Tanner Houck, who goes seven innings, results in a 5 – 0 win over the Rays.
