KCAC Softball Tournament Scores/Schedule

SCOTTDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Before the realigned Big 12 — sans Oklahoma and Texas —even kicks off, the expanded College Football Playoff’s new revenue structure has created a perception that the conference is no longer the equal of the Big Ten and Southeastern Conference.

Instead of a Power Five, college football now has a “Big Two,” with the expanded SEC, now home to the Sooners and Longhorns, and Big Ten at the top of the pack.

Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark's job is to push back against the narrative that bigger bank accounts automatically means better football teams.

“As I've said before, I'm betting on the Big 12,” Yormark said Wednesday after wrapping up two days of meetings with the conference's athletic directors and football and basketball coaches.

The Big 12 becomes a 16-team conference this upcoming season with the additions of former Pac-12 schools Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado and Utah.

The CFP is expanding, too, from four teams to 12 this season, with five spots reserved for conference champions. That all but ensures the winners of the Big Ten, SEC, Big 12 and Atlantic Coast Conference will be in the field.

The demise of the Pac-12 prompted a change in the 12-team format before it even went into effect from six conference champions being guaranteed a spot in the field to five.

How those seven at-large spots will be divvied up among what is now a Power Four in college football figures to be much debated, but the Big Ten and SEC have already established something of a pecking order.

“You’re kind of either labeled as one of the haves, one of the have-nots,” TCU coach Sonny Dykes said.

When the new contracts kick in for the expanded CFP in 2026, the Big Ten and SEC are guaranteed to share nearly 60% of the revenue. The Big 12 and ACC will split up about 30%. In the original four-team playoff agreements, the Power Five received equal revenue shares.

“When you look at the first 10 years of the CFP, we didn’t perform probably as well as we would have liked. That's OK. History might not repeat itself.”

Yormark said he “certainly wasn't happy” with where the CFP the revenue distribution landed.

“I guess you could say in some respects I was satisfied. It was fine, but certainly not happy about it,” he said.

Yormark said he pushed for a look-in on the new CFP deal after the 2027 season, where adjustments could be made to the CFP financial agreement.

When the new deal begins in 2026, the CFP could expand again to 14 teams. Yormark said he likes the idea of a bigger field, but said he would like to see at least this season play out before any decision is made on further expansion.

He also said he and the conference's basketball coaches “in theory” support a modest expansion of the NCAA men's basketball tournament.

Talk of the Big Ten and SEC getting more automatic bids than the other leagues and guaranteed first-round byes went by the wayside for now, but the message has been sent: The Big 12 and ACC are no longer true peers.

How that plays out come selection Sunday remains to be seen.

“I think that you always want your program to be judged by the merits, not by the geography,” Dykes said.

The ACC already is feeling slighted after Florida State, a true blue blood with three national championships on its resume, was snubbed by the CFP selection committee last year after star quarterback Jordan Travis was injured.

For the non-Florida State, Clemson and Miami schools in the ACC, the conference already being viewed as a less-than is disconcerting because they are already are at an perception disadvantage.

"Sometimes I think anytime a non-traditional power in a power conference has success, it’s easier to discredit the league than to credit the team,” Wake Forest coach Dave Clawson said.

For the Big 12, losing their flagship schools, the only two with recent national championship pedigree, creates an opportunity for the current members but also makes for a different evaluation process.

Texas and Oklahoma, “logo schools” as Dykes calls them, were barometers in the Big 12. TCU sweeping the Longhorns and Sooners on the way to a CFP appearance in 2022 helped validate the Horned Frogs as a legitimate playoff contender, even though Dykes will remind you Kansas State was the second-best team in the conference.

TCU is one of two teams in the Big 12's new lineup to have made the four-team playoff, along with Cincinnati, which made the field out of the American Athletic Conference in 2021.

TCU, Colorado and BYU are Big 12 members that can claim national championships, though CU's was the most recent, coming in 1990. Even without traditional super powers, the Big 12 still has a chance to be a strong and deep conference.

“We’re going to continue to build football to the core of what we do, and I’m excited about our future,” Yormark said.

UNDATED (AP) —
Two-time reigning national champion UConn is among the teams that
have dramatically changed their rosters with transfers during college
basketball's open portal window. The deadline for players to enter
their names into the portal to signal their intent to change programs
is late Wednesday. The Huskies could lose all five starters from
their second straight NCAA championship team. But coach Dan Hurley
has added former Michigan center Tarris Reed and Saint Mary's guard
Aidan Mahaney as replacements. Other teams facing significant changes
include marquee names like Kentucky, Kansas, Duke and Arkansas.

UNDATED (AP) —

American Athletic Conference co-player of the year Johnell Davis of
Florida Atlantic has been added to new coach John Calipari’s roster
at Arkansas. Washington 7-foot-1 center Braxton Meah has transferred
to Nebraska.

SCOTTDALE, Ariz.
(AP) — The Big 12 is about to play its first season without
Oklahoma and Texas. The new 16-team conference lacks traditional
super powers. And the expanded College Football Playoff’s new
revenue structure has created a perception the Big 12 is no longer a
peer of the Big Ten and Southeastern Conference on the field. Big 12
commissioner Brett Yormark’s job is to push back against the
narrative bigger bank accounts automatically make better football
teams. He says he was not happy with the new CFP revenue model, but
he's betting on the Big 12's performance in the 12-team playoff to
overcome perception.

BOULDER, Colo. (AP)
— Colorado football coach Deion Sanders and his quarterback son,
Shedeur, have taken to social media in response to a transfer being
critical of how players were treated at the school. Former Colorado
defensive back Xavier Smith said in a recent article published in the
Athletic that Deion Sanders “never even tried to get to know me,”
and that he “was destroying guys’ confidence and belief in
themselves.” Shedeur Sanders responded on X by saying he didn’t
remember Smith. Smith was hampered by injuries for the Buffaloes. He
earned freshman All-America honors at FCS Austin Peay in 2023 and has
since followed coach Scotty Walden to UTEP.

UNDATED (AP) —
Gamers’ appetites for immersive sports video games have not changed
much since the heyday of EA Sports' college football. Society,
however, has. Video-game developer EA Sports is breaking back into
the college football world 11 years after lawsuits over using
players’ likeness without compensation froze the franchise. EA
Sports announced in 2021 it would be rebooting the game with college
athletes receiving the go-ahead to profit from their brand. The
developer will seek to differentiate its game from other offerings in
the market — sports franchises that have had the advantage of time
to evolve.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.
(AP) — Longtime Missouri basketball coach Norm Stewart has been
inducted into the Hall of Famous Missourians. Stewart unveiled a bust
of himself Wednesday during a ceremony in the Missouri House. The
bust will be displayed in the Hall of Famous Missourians in the
Jefferson City Capitol building. Stewart joked that he appreciated
that his likeness still had some hair. Stewart coached basketball at
Missouri for 32 seasons, finishing with a 634-333 record. Missouri
reached the NCAA Tournament 16 times and won eight regular-season
conference championships and six conference tournament championships
under his leadership. House Speaker Dean Plocher says he chose to
induct Stewart to celebrate his resilience and dedication to the
community.

of himself Wednesday during a ceremony in the Missouri House. The
bust will be displayed in the Hall of Famous Missourians in the
Jefferson City Capitol building. Stewart joked that he appreciated
that his likeness still had some hair. Stewart coached basketball at
Missouri for 32 seasons, finishing with a 634-333 record. Missouri
reached the NCAA Tournament 16 times and won eight regular-season
conference championships and six conference tournament championships
under his leadership. House Speaker Dean Plocher says he chose to
induct Stewart to celebrate his resilience and dedication to the
community.WEDNESDAY SCORESMAJOR LEAGUE

Thursday Sports Headlines and Scores presented by Barton Community College

TORONTO (AP) — Seth Lugo pitched seven strong innings to win for the fifth time in seven starts, Michael Massey hit a three-run home run and the Kansas City Royals beat the Toronto Blue Jays 6-1 on Wednesday.

Bobby Witt Jr. had two hits, scored once and also drove in a run as the Royals won for the fifth time in seven meetings with Toronto.

Witt also turned in a highlight defensive play, making a sliding stop and throwing from one knee to retire Bo Bichette for the final out of the sixth inning.

“That was a great play,” Royals manager Matt Quatraro said. “Just to get something on that throw, once he got there, and to do it accurately to get a good runner, that was really impressive.”

Lugo was equally appreciative of Witt’s defensive effort.

“He wows me every day,” Lugo said. “I thought it was a base hit for sure. He’s awesome.”

Salvador Perez had an RBI single and extended his career-best streak of reaching base safely to 21 games. His .355 batting average and 27 RBIs lead the American League.

“He’s always fun to watch but what he’s doing right now is incredible,” Royals center fielder Kyle Isbel said. “I’ve never really seen anything like it. He’s barreling everything.”

Perez’s streak of reaching safely is the second-longest active streak in the majors behind Milwaukee’s Christian Yelich (23 games).

“Who knows where we’d be without him?,” Quatraro asked of Perez.

Massey homered off right-hander Nate Pearson in the eighth, his second in two games. He finished with four RBIs.

Lugo (5-1) allowed just one hit, Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s single in the first, until Toronto catcher Danny Jansen homered with two outs in the seventh. The solo blast was Jansen’s third of the season.

Lugo walked two and struck out eight. He lowered his ERA to 1.60.

“He’s putting together some of the best-pitched games that we’ve seen,” Quatraro said.

Chris Stratton worked the eighth and Nick Anderson finished.

Blue Jays right-hander Chris Bassitt (2-5) didn’t allow a hit through five innings, but had his outing unravel after Isbel doubled to begin the sixth.

“That was a huge at-bat by Izzy there to kind of break up (Bassitt’s) momentum,” Massey said. “He was nasty tonight.”

Maikel Garcia sacrificed Isbel to third and Witt followed with a tiebreaking single through the drawn-in infield.

Vinnie Pasquantino doubled, advancing Witt to third, and Perez made it 2-0 with another base hit through the infield. Massey’s RBI groundout capped the inning.

Bassitt lost his third straight start, allowing three runs and four hits in six innings. He walked one and struck out four.

The Royals used replay review to confirm that Perez was hit by a two-out pitch in the fourth inning. Massey struck out to end the frame.

Blue Jays manager John Schneider was upset that the umpires didn’t rule Perez had swung at the pitch.

“I think it was pretty obvious the ball hit him and it was even more obvious that he took a full swing,” Schneider said. “So, by the rules, he’s out. I thought that was a terrible call.”

Perez started at catcher for Kansas City. He was scratched from Monday’s start behind the plate but came on as a pinch hitter. Perez started at first base Tuesday.

Royals: RHP Brady Singer (2-1, 2.62) is scheduled to start Friday as Kansas City hosts Texas. RHP Michael Lorenzen (2-1, 4.24) goes for the Rangers.

Blue Jays: LHP Yusei Kikuchi (2-2, 294 ERA) is expected to start Friday as Toronto visits Washington for a three-game series.

Wednesday on Sports Day (Watch) 

The No. 10 Panther baseball team moved its win streak to six games and its overall record to 17-5 with a pair of wins against Garden City at the Sports Complex. Great Bend took game one 8-2 before the offense exploded for a 17-7 win in game two.

The Panthers scored a run in the first inning of game one and led 6-0 after two innings before the Buff plated their only two runs in the third inning. Great Bend picked up insurance runs in the fourth and sixth innings.

Daxton Minton pitched the first three innings, striking out four and allowing one hit. Both runs against the sophomore were unearned. Koehn Ribordy threw three no-hit innings with four strikeouts, and Javen Stoney threw an inning without allowing a hit.

Carson Umphres had the big bat in game one with three hits, including a double. He drove in a run and scored a run. Ian Premer singled and doubled, driving in a run and scoring three times. Trenton Kern singled twice and walked twice with a pair of RBIs.&nbsp;

Garden City opened scoring in the first inning of game two but the Panthers were able to respond with nine runs in their first at bat. The Buffs kept things interesting with three more runs in each of the third and fourth innings for an 11-7 score heading into the bottom of the fourth. Great Bend again found an answer with five more runs.

The bases were loaded for Premer in that big fourth inning when he homered to drive in four of his five runs on the day. He also singled and scored twice in the win. Peyden Oelger finished with three singles, three RBIs, and a run scored. Umphres singled and doubled with an RBI and two runs scored. Ribordy had a pair of hits to drive in two and score twice, and Slade Mohr singled twice and walked, driving in a run and scoring twice.

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — Some Kansas lawmakers see a chance to lure Kansas City's two biggest professional sports teams across the Missouri border, but an effort to help the Super Bowl champion Chiefs and Major League Baseball's Royals finance new stadiums in Kansas fizzed over concerns about how it might look to taxpayers.

Members of the Republican-controlled Legislature pushed a bill Tuesday that would have allowed Kansas officials to authorize at least $1 billion in bonds to cover the entire cost of building each new stadium, paying the debt off with tax revenues generated in the area over 30 years. But GOP leaders didn't bring it up for a vote before lawmakers adjourned their annual session early Wednesday.

Some critics derided the plan as corporate welfare. Others were receptive but didn't want to pass the proposal until the Legislature approved a broad package of tax cuts for their constituents that Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly would sign — which didn't happen either.

Legislators' work on a plan began in earnest behind the scenes after voters on the Missouri side of the Kansas City metropolitan area decisively refused earlier this month to extend a local sales tax used to keep up the complex housing the Chiefs' Arrowhead Stadium and the Royals' Kauffman Stadium for more than 50 years.

The bill's biggest champion, Kansas House Commerce Committee Chair Sean Tarwater, a Kansas City-area Republican, said supporters want to give the two professional sports teams another option should they contemplate leaving Kansas City, which he said would be devastating to both states.

“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take,” Tarwater said. “We need them to stay in the metroplex.”

Kelly and her staff signaled Tuesday that she's likely to veto the last tax package lawmakers approved, cutting income, sales and property taxes by a total of almost $1.5 billion over the next three years. Lawmakers expect Kelly to call a special session of the Legislature to try to get lawmakers to pass a tax plan that she'll accept — and they could consider the stadium financing proposal then.

“We just need a little time on it — we’ll be OK," said Senate President Ty Masterson, a Wichita Republican. "I mean, we’re serious about trying to incentivize the Chiefs to come our direction.”

The proposal would allow the bonds to finance 100% of the construction of each of two new professional sports stadiums with at least 30,000 seats. State and local officials would have a year to sign off, and the teams would be on the hook if local tax revenues weren't enough to pay off the bonds.

“It was just a concern of running it before we gave real tax relief to our constituents — kind of that juxtaposed look of what appears to be corporate welfare before you’re getting tax relief to the people,” Masterson said after deciding against having a Senate vote.

Before the local sales tax vote in Missouri, the Chiefs wanted to use their share of the revenues to help pay for an $800 million renovation of Arrowhead. The Royals planned to use their share to help finance a new, $2 billion-plus ballpark district that would be part of a larger nationwide wave of sports construction.

The current lease lease on the two teams' complex lasts through Jan. 31, 2031. Royals owner John Sherman has said the Royals will not play at Kauffman Stadium beyond the 2030 season, the Chiefs are hopeful of remaining at Arrowhead Stadium.

“We’ll be in a situation where we go back to the drawing board,” Chiefs owner Clark Hunt told reporters last week. “I do feel very much a sense of urgency, and we will approach it from a broader perspective going forward.”

Backers argue that the Kansas plan is ideal because the money to pay off the bonds would come from new taxes generated only when the area around each stadium develops. Also, professional players will have to pay the state's income tax on the portion of their earnings made at the stadiums in Kansas.

But Americans for Prosperity-Kansas, a small-government, low-tax group that has long opposed the use of such bonds, also opposed the stadium financing proposal. The group is influential with Republicans and told lawmakers it would consider their votes in evaluating their records.

Critics have long argued that allowing the bonds to finance big projects represents the state picking economic winners and losers instead of the free market. The same kind of bonds have financed multiple projects, including NASCAR's Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas.

One northeastern Kansas lawmaker, Democratic Sen. Tom Holland, called the stadium proposal “economic development for millionaires.” He added that it’s “total foolishness” to have taxpayers subsidize the stadiums — either through taxes they pay when they visit or because the state forgoes revenues that would flow into its coffers.

Another northeastern Kansas lawmaker, conservative GOP Sen. Dennis Pyle, said: “We’ve got a lot of priorities in Kansas, and I’m not sure that’s one of them."

Other lawmakers were critical because the Legislature had no public hearings or debates before three senators and three House members met in public this week to hash out the details of the proposal.

Laura Kelly would sign — which didn't happen either.Legislators' work on a plan began in earnest behind the scenes after voters on the Missouri side of the Kansas City metropolitan area decisively refused earlier this month to extend a local sales tax used to keep up the complex housing the Chiefs' Arrowhead Stadium and the Royals' Kauffman Stadium for more than 50 years.The bill's biggest champion, Kansas House Commerce Committee Chair Sean Tarwater, a Kansas City-area Republican, said supporters want to give the two professional sports teams another option should they contemplate leaving Kansas City, which he said would be devastating to both states.“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take,” Tarwater said. “We need them to stay in the metroplex.”The idea isn't dead yet.Kelly and her staff signaled Tuesday that she's likely to veto the last tax package lawmakers approved, cutting income, sales and property taxes by a total of almost $1.5 billion over the next three years. Lawmakers expect Kelly to call a special session of the Legislature to try to get lawmakers to pass a tax plan that she'll accept — and they could consider the stadium financing proposal then.“We just need a little time on it — we’ll be OK," said Senate President Ty Masterson, a Wichita Republican. "I mean, we’re serious about trying to incentivize the Chiefs to come our direction.”The proposal would allow the bonds to finance 100% of the construction of each of two new professional sports stadiums with at least 30,000 seats. State and local officials would have a year to sign off, and the teams would be on the hook if local tax revenues weren't enough to pay off the bonds.“It was just a concern of running it before we gave real tax relief to our constituents — kind of that juxtaposed look of what appears to be corporate welfare before you’re getting tax relief to the people,” Masterson said after deciding against having a Senate vote.Before the local sales tax vote in Missouri, the Chiefs wanted to use their share of the revenues to help pay for an $800 million renovation of Arrowhead. The Royals planned to use their share to help finance a new, $2 billion-plus ballpark district that would be part of a larger nationwide wave of sports construction.The current lease lease on the two teams' complex lasts through Jan. 31, 2031. Royals owner John Sherman has said the Royals will not play at Kauffman Stadium beyond the 2030 season, the Chiefs are hopeful of remaining at Arrowhead Stadium.“We’ll be in a situation where we go back to the drawing board,” Chiefs owner Clark Hunt told reporters last week. “I do feel very much a sense of urgency, and we will approach it from a broader perspective going forward.”Backers argue that the Kansas plan is ideal because the money to pay off the bonds would come from new taxes generated only when the area around each stadium develops. Also, professional players will have to pay the state's income tax on the portion of their earnings made at the stadiums in Kansas.But Americans for Prosperity-Kansas, a small-government, low-tax group that has long opposed the use of such bonds, also opposed the stadium financing proposal. The group is influential with Republicans and told lawmakers it would consider their votes in evaluating their records.Critics have long argued that allowing the bonds to finance big projects represents the state picking economic winners and losers instead of the free market. The same kind of bonds have financed multiple projects, including NASCAR's Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, Kansas.One northeastern Kansas lawmaker, Democratic Sen. Tom Holland, called the stadium proposal “economic development for millionaires.” He added that it’s “total foolishness” to have taxpayers subsidize the stadiums — either through taxes they pay when they visit or because the state forgoes revenues that would flow into its coffers.Another northeastern Kansas lawmaker, conservative GOP Sen. Dennis Pyle, said: “We’ve got a lot of priorities in Kansas, and I’m not sure that’s one of them."Other lawmakers were critical because the Legislature had no public hearings or debates before three senators and three House members met in public this week to hash out the details of the proposal.

Lawmakers want the Chiefs and Royals to come to Kansas, but a stadium plan fizzled

inning of a baseball game against the Toronto Blue Jays, Tuesday,

TORONTO (AP) — Michael Massey hit a two-run home run, Cole Ragans struck out nine in a season-high 6 2/3 innings, and the Kansas City Royals beat the Toronto Blue Jays 4-1 on Tuesday night to snap a three-game losing streak.

Ragans was “electric” in improving to 2-0 in three career starts against Toronto, Royals manager Matt Quatraro said.

“He had the best stuff he’s had all year,” Quatraro said. “He was locating. Early in the game he got quick outs.”

Bobby Witt Jr. reached base three times and drove in a run as the Royals improved to 17-11 in April and 18-13 overall. It’s the most victories Kansas City has had in a month since going 17-9 in June 2017.

“We’re in a good spot but nobody goes to the playoffs in April,” Massey said. “We’ve got to keep going.”

Ragans (2-2) allowed one run and four hits. The left-hander left because of cramping in his left calf after walking consecutive batters.

“We’ve got to get some fluids in him and get rid of that,” Quatraro said. “It’s the deepest he’s gone, the most pitches he’s thrown. It’s just fatigue, probably.”

John Schreiber came on and retired Cavan Biggio to end the inning.

Schreiber got four outs and right-hander James McArthur finished for his seventh save in eight chances.

Blue Jays right-hander José Berríos (4-2) allowed two runs and five hits in seven innings but lost to Ragans for the second straight outing. Ragans got the win as the Royals won a rain-shortened game in Kansas City last Thursday.

Berríos leads the majors with 43 2/3 innings and has six quality starts in seven outings.

“I’ve been feeling healthy, strong, mentally, really stronger and more mature,” Berríos said. “I want to keep building on top of this.”

Massey struck out to end Monday’s 6-5 loss, stranding the tying run at third base. On Tuesday, the second baseman homered on the second pitch he saw from Berríos in the second inning. It was Massey’s first homer.

“There’s probably going to be a lot more nights that I leave the tying run on third base than what I did tonight,” Massey said. “You just try to compete, try to battle and stay with your process.”

Toronto’s Bo Bichette hit a two-out RBI single in the sixth but Witt made it 3-1 with an RBI double off Erik Swanson in the eighth. Génesis Cabrera replaced Swanson and gave up an RBI double to Vinnie Pasquantino.

Salvador Perez started at first base for Kansas City one night after being scratched from a start behind the plate because of a sore back. Perez had a pinch hit single in the ninth inning of Monday’s 6-5 loss and was replaced by a pinch runner.

With a leadoff single in the second inning Tuesday, Perez extended his career-best streak of reaching base safely to 20 games.

Toronto’s Davis Schneider hit a one-out single in the second but Royals right fielder Hunter Renfroe threw Schneider out at second base as he tried to extend his hit. Renfroe leads the major leagues with 67 outfield assists since 2017.

George Springer started in center field for the Blue Jays. He didn’t make a single start in center in 2023.

Royals: Kansas City recalled RHP Colin Selby from Triple-A Omaha and optioned RHP Jonathan Bowlan to Triple-A.

Blue Jays: Toronto put RHP Yariel Rodríguez (back) on the 15-day IL and recalled RHP Zach Pop from Triple-A Buffalo. Rodríguez started Monday, allowing three runs and six hits in 3 2/3 innings. … RHP Alek Manoah (shoulder) allowed one run and two hits in six innings in a rehab start at Triple-A. Manoah struck out 12 and walked two.

Blue Jays RHP Chris Bassitt (2-4, 5.64) is expected to start Wednesday’s series finale. Kansas City’s scheduled starter is RHP Seth Lugo (4-1, 1.66).

Royals snap 3-game losing streak, beat Blue Jays 4-1

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) —
Some Kansas lawmakers see a chance to lure Kansas City’s two
biggest professional sports teams across the Missouri border, but an
effort to help the Super Bowl champion Chiefs and Major League
Baseball’s Royals finance new stadiums in Kansas fizzed. Kansas
legislators worried about how it might look to taxpayers. Members of
the Republican-controlled Legislature pushed a bill Tuesday that
would have allowed Kansas officials to authorize at least $1 billion
in bonds to cover the entire cost of building each new stadium. But
GOP leaders didn’t bring it up for a vote before lawmakers
adjourned their annual session early Wednesday.

TORONTO (AP) —
Michael Massey hit a two-run home run, Cole Ragans struck out nine in
a season-high 6 2/3 innings, and the Kansas City Royals beat the
Toronto Blue Jays 4-1 to snap a three-game losing streak. Bobby Witt
Jr. reached base three times and drove in a run as the Royals
improved to 17-11 in April. It’s the most victories Kansas City has
had in a month since going 17-9 in June 2017. Ragans allowed one run
and four hits to improve to 2-2. Righty John Schreiber got four outs
and right-hander James McArthur finished for his seventh save in
eight chances. José Berríos took the loss.

DETROIT (AP) —
Wenceel Pérez hit homers from both sides of the plate to help the
Detroit Tigers beat the St. Louis Cardinals 11-6 Tuesday night to
split a doubleheader. The 24-year-old Dominican became the first
rookie to clear the fences for the franchise hitting right and left
handed in the same game since Raúl Casanova in 1996. In the opener,
Jack Flaherty tied an American League record with seven straight
strikeouts to start a game and struck out a career-high 14 before St.
Louis rallied against a usually bullpen with a two-run ninth inning
to beat Detroit 2-1.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP)
— Los Angeles Angels star Mike Trout will have surgery to repair a
torn meniscus in his left knee, sidelining the three-time AL MVP
indefinitely. The Angels believe Trout will be able to return this
season, general manager Perry Minasian said while announcing the
injury Tuesday. Trout is batting .220 with a major league-leading 10
homers, 14 RBIs and six stolen bases, but he will be sidelined by a
major injury for the fourth consecutive season. Trout had an MRI
after playing in the Angels’ 6-5 victory over Philadelphia on
Monday. Trout’s latest injury is another major blow to the Angels,
who lost Shohei Ohtani to free agency in the offseason.

MILWAUKEE (AP) —
Punches were thrown when a brawl broke out between the Tampa Bay Rays
and Milwaukee Brewers. The fracas ensued after Jose Siri grounded out
against Brewers pitcher Abner Uribe leading off the eighth inning.
Uribe and Siri exchanged words near first base and things quickly
became heated. With an umpire standing between them trying to keep
the peace, Uribe threw a punch at Siri, who then took a wild swing at
the reliever as both dugouts and bullpens emptied quickly. The
animosity between Siri and the Brewers had been building all night.
He took a long look at his home run in the third off Freddy Peralta,
who drilled Siri with a 3-0 fastball in the sixth. That led to
Peralta and Milwaukee manager Pat Murphy getting ejected.

PHOENIX (AP) — A
swarm of bees created quite a baseball buzzkill in the desert. The
start of Tuesday night’s game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and
Arizona Diamondbacks was delayed nearly two hours after a bee colony
swarmed the top of the protective netting behind home plate. It took
more than an hour before a beekeeper arrived and was scissor-lifted
to the swarm. He safely removed the bees and pumped his fist to the
cheering crowd as he lowered back to the field. The game was delayed
nearly 90 minutes and the players were given an extra 30 minutes to
loosen back up before first pitch.

NEW YORK (AP) —
Tyrese Maxey saved Philadelphia from elimination with seven points in
the final 25 seconds of regulation, finished with 46 and led the
76ers to a 112-106 overtime victory over the New York Knicks in Game
5 of their first-round series. The 76ers trailed by six points with
28 seconds remaining in regulation before Maxey pulled out a comeback
that evoked memories of Reggie Miller’s eights points in nine
seconds for Indiana at Madison Square Garden in 1995. The All-Star
guard converted a four-point play with 25 seconds remaining to cut it
to two, and after Josh Hart’s free throw, pulled up from 35 feet to
tie it at 97 with 8.1 seconds left.

CLEVELAND (AP) —
Donovan Mitchell scored 28 points, Evan Mobley blocked Franz Wagner’s
layup in the final seconds and the Cleveland Cavaliers survived a
scare from Orlando, holding off Paolo Banchero and the Magic 104-103
in Game 5. Cleveland leads the series 3-2. Game 6 is Friday in
Orlando. The Cavs, who were embarrassed by the Magic while dropping
two games in Orlando last week, regrouped inside roaring Rocket
Mortgage FieldHouse. It took everything they had. After Mitchell
missed a jumper with 15.7 seconds left, Wagner drove the left side
from a potential game-tying layup but was denied at the rim with 6
seconds left by Mobley. Playing in just his fifth postseason game,
the 21-year-old Banchero had 39 points and looked like a savvy
veteran. He scored 16 in the fourth.

MILWAUKEE (AP) —
Khris Middleton and Bobby Portis each scored 29 points and the
short-handed Milwaukee Bucks kept their season alive by routing the
Indiana Pacers 115-92 in Game 5 of their Eastern Conference
first-round playoff series. Portis had the highest point total of his
playoff career and added 10 rebounds to make amends two nights after
he got ejected from a Game 4 loss. The Pacers still lead the
best-of-seven series 3-2 heading into Game 6 on Thursday in
Indianapolis. The Bucks again were playing without injured stars
Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard.

Freshman Cooper Ohnmacht joined the 22-foot club in the long jump with a seventh-place finish at 22-0.5. Just seven Class 5A jumpers have reached that mark this spring. Lyndon's Tanner Heckel won with the spring's best jump of 23-8.5. Ohnmacht just missed a season best in the triple jump, placing fourth at 43-8.5 to miss the bronze by two inches. Ohnmacht also head to contend with the state's best 100m dasher this year in Seaman senior Aaron Merritt, who won in 10.48. Ohnmacht placed 21st in 11.50.

Senior Braylon Moore placed fifth in the 800m run in 2:04.30 to miss the bronze by five seconds. Junior Diego Pasos finished 11th in 2:09.06, and freshman Omar Razo ran 34th in 2:21.49.
