Walking up the 18th fairway on Saturday, the eve of Father’s Day, Miles Russell asked his father Joe to take the bag and caddie for the final hole. Joe had no idea it was coming. But Russell had been planning it since that morning, when he quietly contacted USGA rules officials to check if he […] The post ‘Something He’ll Remember’: Miles Russell Releases Emotional Statement After USGA Overlooked Rules for His Special Father’s Day Gift appeared first on EssentiallySports .

UConn is playing in the last game of the season, with a chance to win the program’s seventh national championship after beating Illinois, 71-62, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. “There’s no better feeling than being on that bus on Monday night, just being one of the last two teams standing,” Husky head coach Dan […]

Royals split doubleheader with six-run sixth in the nightcap

The day started poorly, but by the time we had finished things were looking a bit brighter. Let’s talk about the afternoon game first. Luinder Avila got his first major league start and, at times, you could see why the Royals are still so high on him as a starter. His stuff is electric, especially […]

Cubs Minor League Wrap: Iowa silences the Bats, 8-6

Iowa Cubs The Iowa Cubs burned the Louisville Bats (Reds), 8-6 in a game that ended in the sixth inning because of rain. Jaxon Wiggins had a rough start today, going four innings and giving up four runs on five hits. Wiggins walked three and struck out four. Luke Little didn’t pitch any better, but […]

Marquette Runs Away From #24 Villanova

I wonder if Marquette women’s lacrosse head coach Meredith Black would say that she saw the most complete performance of the season from her team on Saturday against #24 Villanova. Six of Marquette’s last eight games have been a wee bit shaky one way or another, and if you want to count a 15-9 loss […]

Canadiens @ Devils Top Six Minutes: Perfection on the road

First period Cole Caufield accepts a bank-pass and tries to go across the top of Jake Allen’s crease, but former teammate Johnny Kovacevic makes the stick-check just before he can fire the puck. Ivan Demidov gets past a couple of players at the defensive blue line to go in on a two-on-one, but can’t see a lane to Alex Newhook to get a pass through. His initial shot gets stopped, but he collects the rebound, curls back to the slot, and gets another shot that deflects out of play. ...

Rays 7, Twins 1: What a Picture

Decked out in Minnesota’s freshest uniforms, and making his first start at Target Field, Mick Abel struggled through four innings, and the Twins lineup was unable to keep things interesting, as the Rays evened the series with a snoozy 7-1 victory. Abel labored through his first two innings, allowing a pair of two-out baserunners in […]

Brewers drop second game of doubleheader to Royals, 8-2

Box Score The Brewers and Royals played a game with a lot of baserunners but not a lot of action tonight, except for one big inning. The Royals busted the game open with a five-run, two-out rally in the sixth, an inning full of sloppiness on Milwaukee’s part, a Royals inning that felt almost Brewers-y. […]

Recap: Bruins let points slip away again, lose to Tampa

Perhaps it’s time for us to just accept that the Bruins and Florida Men don’t pair well together. After a solidly played first 40 minutes, the Bruins allowed three unanswered goals in the third period to drop their second Florida game in a row, losing to Tampa Bay, 3-1. Casey Mittelstadt scored the Bruins’ only […]

Braves squander excellent Elder outing in 2-1 loss to D-backs

Coming into this game, the Braves had exorcised a lot of their 2025 demons with their 6-2 start, but one remained conspicuously absent: the one-run loss. Well, in their ninth game of the season, they finally had a one-run decision, and, in somewhat-reminiscent-of-2025 fashion, it was a loss that probably could have, and at times […]

Tennessee Shuts Down LSU to Even Series

If tonight felt eerily familiar, you’re not alone: game two of LSU and Tennessee’s series followed practically the same exact script only this time around, LSU wouldn’t homer their way to another improbable victory. The Vols (20-11, 4-7) held on to its 4-1 lead this time and evened the series against LSU (21-11, 5-6). The […]

4-4 – A difference in defense as Rangers fall 2-0 to Reds

The Texas Rangers didn’t score but the Cincinnati Reds scored two runs. Kumar Rocker had a wait some tens days to make his season debut and he was immediately greeted with perhaps the worst defensive inning by the Rangers so far this season, and that includes a game in Philadelphia where a dropped easy popup […]

Will Riley Shines In Yet Another Washington Blowout

The Washington Wizards had a strong defensive effort, holding Miami Heat center Bam Adebayo to 69 points fewer than he scored the last time these teams faced each other. Editor’s Note: The Wizards allowed more than 150 points for a second straight game and the 15th time in franchise history. Kevin’s Note: Hey, their defensive […]

Recap: Wedgewood with the shutout as Avs beat Dallas 2-0

The Colorado Avalanche and Dallas Stars squared off in a crucial matinee at American Airlines Center in Dallas, and it was Colorado who finally stole the first regulation win of the season series—pushing their quest for NHL and Central Division supremacy even further. Brent Burns hit his 1,000th consecutive game, and the veteran forward-turned-defenseman logged […]

Embiid-less Sixers struggle in second half of loss to Pistons

It’s always easier to predict a split back-to-back than actually go through it. The Sixers fell 116-93 to the Detroit Pistons Saturday night, completing the season series sweep. They are now 43-35 and will drop back a half game behind the Toronto Raptors for the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference. Tyrese Maxey steadily put […]

She defeated rising star and 4th seed Iva Jovic 6-4, 5-7, 6-3 at the Credit One Charleston Open. The match lasted two hours and 35 minutes; she has now spent more than ten hours on the court this week.  Iva Jovic (photo by Daniel Ward)   Pegula told the media: "...I don't think I'm playing my best tennis, either, and I think I've had to kind o...

Three days after getting 2024 Rule 5 Draft pick Angel Bastardo back from the Blue Jays, the Red Sox got 2025 Rule 5 Draft pick Jedixson Paez back from the White Sox on Saturday. Unlike Bastardo with the Blue Jays, Paez made the White Sox’ Opening Day roster out of spring training last month despite … Continue reading "Red Sox get Rule 5 pick Jedixson Paez back from White Sox"

NC State walks off Notre Dame, 7-6, to complete series sweep

It’s been a rough couple of weeks for NC State baseball, as you may have noticed. Some close games go the wrong way, you get a bit of a slump at the plate, and next thing you know it’s panic, panic everywhere. Such is baseball season. Fortunately, it’s the first week of April. NC State […]

Mariners Game #9 Preview and Discussion: SEA at LAA, 4/4

Here’s something I never thought I’d say: I am excited to watch Emerson Hancock pitch tonight. The Mariners look to win their first series of the season Saturday against the Angels. They won Friday’s opener 4-0 in a long, frustrating, 10-inning game that didn’t really get going until the end. The bats did eventually come […]
