I don’t even know what to say about this game. We just witnessed Bailey Ober, 88 MPH fastball and all, toss an 89 pitch complete game shutout. He did it using mostly changeups and fastballs, picking up 4 strikeouts and a 43% whiff percentage with the changeup. The only blemishes on his day were singles […]
While a number of winning teams, particularly from the southeast and northwest part of the country, cancelled games because they did not want to risk damage to their RPI, Nebraska faced off against rival Creighton for the final game of their season series tonight at The Chuck in Omaha. Arguably the most positive thing that […]
Six weeks. It took Marquette head men’s basketball coach Shaka Smart six weeks to find a replacement for assistant coach Nevada Smith. Longer, if you figure that Smart knew that Smith was interviewing for the job long before he was announced as the new Siena head coach on April 1st. In any case, our long […]
ARLINGTON, TX — The sellout crowd crammed into the College Park Center to catch a glimpse of Azzi Fudd’s home debut in a Wings’ uniform on Tuesday had to settle for a version of the team that really could have used the rookie’s touch from the outside against the Atlanta Dream (2-0). The Wings (1-1) […]
The Mets returned home after their west coast road trip to face the Tigers. Freddy Peralta was taking the mound for the Mets, looking to try and get back on the right foot after losing the final two games (and the series) against the Diamondbacks. Jack Flaherty was starting for the Tigers, struggling so far […]
Northeastern (32-18) got some revenge on UConn (30-23, 13-5 Big East) on Tuesday night after a late inning surge in a back and forth contest propelled them to a 10-6 road win at Elliot Ballpark. The Northeastern victory came about a month and a half after UConn scored 21 runs on the road to stun […]

The NHL announced on Tuesday evening that Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy will be suspended for the first six games of next season, the result of a slash on Buffalo’s Zach Benson in Game 6 of the Bruins-Sabres series. McAvoy was given a major and a game misconduct on the play in real time, with that […]
After a couple tough losses in Miami, the Nats responded in a big way tonight. They overpowered the Reds in a 10-2 win where they homered 6 times. Luis Garcia Jr. and Daylen Lile both had multi-homer games in the blow out. The bullpen also did great work tonight, eating 5.2 innings in this one. […]
After limping out of Kansas City bruised and full of more question-marks than The Riddler, the Tigers went to New York City to face the Mets, who have been terrible so far. Well, the questions kept coming as fast as the Mets scored runs in this one, with the New Yorkers besting the Detroiters by […]
The Atlanta Braves were riding high after a road trip out west that saw them win a series with the Dodgers. They were faced with a new test when the Chicago Cubs came to town. It just so happens that MLB ranked the Cubs as number one in the power rankings over the Braves even […]
Alex McCoy OF/DH/1B won April Player of the Month for the Fort Wayne TinCaps. In 22 games, he hit .354/.386/.683 with 10 doubles and five home runs. For the season, McCoy has a .284/.344/.885 line with 15 RBI. His vital stats state he is 6-5 and 260, but in a recent interview with MadFriars.com, McCoy […]
First period Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen is in net, as the Buffalo Sabres desperately look for someone to slow down Montreal’s offence. Luukkonen stops the first shot of the game, from Cole Caufield on a two-on-one with Juraj Slafkovský. It’s not as energetic a start as the Sabres had in Game 3. Alex Tuch gets a lane to the net and sends a short-side shot off the post. Now the Sabres are beginning to make things happen. Dobeš had to shoot out his glove to deny the latest sh...
Philadelphia 76ers General Manager Daryl Morey was fired today after a six-year tenure with the team. The Sixers compiled a 270-212 record under Morey, reaching the playoffs five times. They were swept by the New York Knicks in the second round of the 2026 NBA Playoffs, however. Despite the Morey firing, Philadelphia plans to retain […]
In theory, one of the biggest questions that could be surrounding the Lakers this offseason would be the impending free agency of their All-Star caliber guard. In many situations, a player of Austin Reaves’ caliber and age entering free agency would be a cause for concern as to whether he’d leave this summer. But nothing […]
AJ Dybantsa was a lot of things during his freshman campaign at BYU, but a strong catch-and-shoot three-point weapon was not one of them. Though he led the nation in points per game (25.5) under Kevin Young's system, most of AJ's damage was self-created -
Angel Reese made an immediate impact in her debut with the Atlanta Dream, recording a double-double with 11 points and 14 rebounds to help Atlanta complete a dramatic 91-90 comeback victory over the Minnesota Lynx on Saturday night at Target Center in Minneapolis. The Dream appeared headed for a difficult start to the season after […]
Until Sunday, Maryland baseball first baseman Paul Jones II hadn’t hit a home run since April 28th. His blast that day was the only one the Terps logged during their 11-2 victory over Georgetown. On Sunday, he turned his fate around with two home runs and five RBIs to help lead it to victory. In […]

On Sunday, MLB.com published an article titled 1 thing each team can improve upon the rest of the way with nuggets of information from each team’s beat writer. Some teams need to be more productive with runners in scoring position, have more leadoff production or more base stealing, have a more consistent bullpen and more. […]
It’s hard to believe that Zack Wheeler was a major question mark less than a month ago. At least for now, he looked like the Zack Wheeler of old as he went 7.1 innings against the Red Sox while allowing one run on just 87 pitches in a 2-1 win. Kyle Schwarber tied the Phillies […]

On a day of terrible news around the NBA (our sincerest condolences to the family and friends of Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke AND trailblazing center Jason Collins), there is a small bit of good news for Bucks fans. You may recall that, towards the end of the regular season, Giannis Antetokounmpo infamously called on the […]
