CELTICS SURGE LATE VS. PACERS, TAKE 3-0 LEAD IN EAST FINALS
Jrue Holiday converted a go-ahead three-point play and added a key steal in the final seconds of regulation to help the Boston Celtics post a 114-111 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Saturday night in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals at Indianapolis.
Jayson Tatum recorded 36 points, 10 rebounds and eight assists as Boston took a 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven series. Jaylen Brown scored 24 points and Al Horford drained a career-high seven 3-pointers while scoring 23 points for the top-seeded Celtics.
Indiana’s Aaron Nesmith had a 3-pointer bounce off the rim as time expired.
Andrew Nembhard scored a career-best 32 points and added nine assists for the sixth-seeded Pacers. T.J. McConnell had 23 points, nine rebounds and six assists, Myles Turner added 22 points and 10 rebounds and Pascal Siakam also scored 22 points for Indiana, which lost at home for the first time in seven playoff games.
The Pacers played without All-NBA Third Team selection Tyrese Haliburton, who injured his left hamstring in Game 2.
Holiday wasn’t cleared to play until approximately 45 minutes before tipoff due to an illness. He finished with 14 points, nine rebounds and three steals.
Game 4 is Monday at Indianapolis.
Boston trailed by five before Horford drilled a trey with 1:12 left, and Holiday added his pivotal three-point play to give the Celtics a 112-111 edge with 38.9 seconds to go.
The Pacers were later looking for a go-ahead shot and eschewed a timeout. Nembhard was handling the ball and Holiday forced it away with 3.3 seconds remaining. Holiday was then fouled and made two free throws with 1.7 seconds to play.
Derrick White scored 13 points for the Celtics, who shot 47 percent from the field and were 16 of 46 from 3-point range.
Indiana shot 50.5 percent from the field and was a porous 5 of 22 from 3-point range. The Pacers shot just 38.3 percent overall in the second half.
Boston trailed by 18 midway through the third quarter before moving within 93-90 on Horford’s 3-pointer with 8:31 remaining in the game.
McConnell and Nembhard answered with baskets to push the lead to seven. Indiana later led 109-101 after McConnell’s driving layup with 2:38 left before the Celtics responded with a game-ending 13-2 run.
Nembhard scored 17 of his 21 first-half points in the second quarter as the Pacers held a 69-57 lead at the break. Indiana shot a scorching 63.6 percent from the floor in the half.
Siakam and Turner scored 15 points apiece before intermission for the Pacers. Tatum had 20 through the first two quarters for Boston.
WOLVES HIT ROAD IN WEST FINALS TRAILING MAVS 2-0, SAME DEFICIT NUGGETS RECENTLY ERASED IN MINNESOTA
DALLAS (AP) — The Timberwolves have the same problem in the Western Conference finals against the Mavericks that Minnesota forced on the Denver Nuggets in the previous round of the playoffs.
A struggling Anthony Edwards and company are down 2-0 headed to Dallas, which means Luka Doncic is closing in on his first trip to the NBA Finals.
After losing twice at home, there’s an easy start to the conversation for the Wolves going into Game 3 on Sunday night.
The Nuggets answered two losses in Denver with two victories in Minnesota, and had Game 7 at home before blowing a 20-point lead in the second half and losing.
“We were up 2-0, then they came and won two at the crib and then won one at their crib,” Edwards said, recalling the three consecutive Denver victories that gave them two chances to advance. “I don’t think anybody in the locker room is panicking. I hope not.”
The next part of the conversation for Minnesota is this: Dallas’ two road wins were by a total of four points, capped by Doncic’s step-back 3-pointer with 3 seconds remaining in a 109-108 victory. And the Wolves have led for 81 of the series’ 96 minutes.
“We hoped that we could get the split decisions instead of getting the knockouts and unanimous decisions,” said Karl-Anthony Towns, the second-leading scorer who is struggling alongside Edwards. “We’re playing just well enough to get a split decision, but then you lose and we’re frustrated that we could’ve done more.”
Edwards and Towns likely will have to do more for Minnesota to get back in the series.
A young star who exudes confidence, Edwards has acknowledged feeling fatigue, and his numbers show it. He’s 11 of 33 from the field and had a crucial turnover on a bad pass to set up Doncic’s game-winner.
Towns didn’t even play the final 8:40 of Game 2 and is shooting 28% in the series.
The 7-foot, four-time All-Star and 7-1 Rudy Gobert have been outplayed by Dallas’ center tandem of Daniel Gafford and Dereck Lively II, with Mavs outscoring the Wolves 116-80 in the paint.
“I think with Anthony, he’s gotta pick up his decision-making,” Minnesota coach Chris Finch said. “With KAT, I think he’s just got to calm down. I think he’s coming out of the gate pressing a little bit, maybe getting off on the wrong foot and then chasing the game.”
Overconfidence doesn’t figure to be an issue for the Mavs.
Just three years ago, Dallas opened a first-round series against the Clippers with two wins in Los Angeles before LA rallied and won in seven games. It was the first time in NBA history a road team won the first six games of a series.
“You’ve just got to think about next game,” said Doncic, who hadn’t won a playoff series when that lead over the Clippers slipped away but now is in the West finals for the second time in three seasons. “Not in the future. Just this game.”
Doncic and co-star Kyrie Irving are taking turns leading the Mavs, with huge assists from Gafford and Lively, who combined for 30 points and played big roles in the steady rally from an 18-point deficit in Game 2.
Irving scored 24 points in the first half of Game 1 to keep Dallas close, and had 13 points with four 3-pointers in the fourth quarter of Game 2.
Doncic had 15 points in the fourth quarter of the series opener before churning out his second 30-point triple-double in these playoffs, including the clutch game-winner.
Throughout the playoffs, the 25-year-old Slovenian superstar has dealt with a sprained right knee and sore left ankle. He disappeared from courtside at times in Game 2, but is now dismissing questions about how he feels physically.
“I was telling him from the beginning of the game, you have guys out here that have your back and whenever you need me to take over, I will take over the point guard responsibilities and bring the ball up,” Irving said.
“There are moments where he shows his brilliance and he scores so easily and then he comes back and it looks like he’s laboring a little bit. But that guy’s a warrior. I’m never worried about it.”
After losing their 18-point lead in Game 2, the Wolves were still up five with 1:29 remaining, thanks in part to Irving — a career 88.6% free throw shooter — missing a pair when down three 15 seconds earlier.
His fellow star bailed him out.
“I was just like, ‘What the heck is going on, man?’” Irving said. “Those mistakes could weigh on you mentally and you could carry that to next game, too. So it’s time to just leave that here and pray that I make all my free throws when I get back home.”
The Wolves are looking to rally away from home.

MASON MARCHMENT BREAKS 3RD-PERIOD TIE, STARS BEAT OILERS 3-1 IN GAME 2 TO EVEN WEST FINAL
DALLAS (AP) — Mason Marchment scored for the first time since the playoff opener and the Dallas Stars beat the Edmonton Oilers 3-1 on Saturday night to even the Western Conference Final at a game each.
Marchment broke a tie at 3:41 of the third period when he deflected shot that went through the legs of defenseman Vincent Deshamais, then bounced on the ice and went between the right arm and body of goalie Stuart Skinner. Stars defenseman Ryan Suter, whose 1,444 career regular-season games without a Stanley Cup title are the most among active players, shot the puck from against the board just inside the blue line that Marchment deflected.
“We’ve got to play like it’s Game 7. We’re so close, so it’s just got to be a Game 7 mentality for the rest of this ride here,” Marchment said.
Stars captain Jamie Benn had a goal and assisted on Esa Lindell’s empty-netter with 2:03 left. Wyatt Johnston had two assists.
Dallas goalie Jake Oettinger stopped 28 shots, including a reaching glove save on Mattias Ekholm’s shot with about 3 1/2 minutes left and also gathered in the Edmonton defenseman’s long shot about a half-minute after that.
Connor Brown had Edmonton’s goal. Skinner, who had won the previous three games since being sitting two games in the last round, stopped 22 shots.
Game 3 is Monday night in Edmonton, where the Stars won 4-3 in their only trip there this season. That was Nov. 2 during the Oilers’ 3-9-1 start that led to Jay Woodcroft getting fired as coach and replaced by Kris Knoblauch.
This was the seventh consecutive time the Stars went into Game 2 of a best-of-seven playoff series coming off a loss, including all three this postseason. Marchment had scored in their 4-3 loss to Vegas in the playoff opener April 22, left Game 2 with an undisclosed injury and then missed six games before returning in Game 2 of the second round against Colorado.
The Oilers had gone ahead in this series on Connor McDavid’s goal 32 seconds into double overtime for a 3-2 win in Game 1 on Thursday.
Edmonton center Leon Draisaitl was scoreless, ending his playoff-opening points streak ended at 13 games. That was one short of matching Mark Messier’s franchise record set in 1988.
The teams traded goals 44 seconds apart early in the first period.
Benn scored on Dallas’ first shot on goal in the game, with a wrister from the top of the right circle that flew across the front of Skinner and in the lower left corner of the net 3:39 into the game.
Edmonton, which outshot the Stars 17-4 in the first period, got even when Brown scored on a rebound of Cody Ceci’s shot after he had initially gotten the puck from Brown. It was Brown’s first goal this postseason, and the only other one he has came in 2018 for Toronto against Boston.
After going 0 for 5 on the power play in the series opener, including a double-minor penalty in the opening seconds of the first overtime that gave them four minutes with a man advantage, the Stars failed to score on their only power play in Game 2.
That extended Edmonton’s streak to 20 penalties killed over six-plus games, since giving up a power-play goal in Game 3 of its second-round series against Vancouver.

UFL ROUNDUP: RENEGADES HANG ON TO UPSET BATTLEHAWKS
The host Arlington Renegades, fueled by 259 yards and three touchdown passes from quarterback Luis Perez, overcame the St. Louis Battlehawks 36-22 to earn their second win in three games on Saturday.
Arlington (2-7) jumped out to a 10-point lead, surrendered it, then rebounded to ultimately take out the first-place Battlehawks (6-3). Perez tossed the go-ahead 5-yard touchdown to Seth Green with 6:28 left in the third quarter. The two connected again on the two-point conversion, putting the Renegades up 27-21.
After a Jonathan Garibay 26-yard field goal gave Arlington a 9-point lead, Joe Powell wrapped up the win with a 49-yard interception return for a touchdown with 1:31 left.
After Perez gave the Renegades a 19-9 lead with two first-half touchdown passes, Battlehawks quarterback Manny Wilkins cut the lead to 19-15 at the half with a 1-yard rushing touchdown. Wilkins, who ran for 51 yards and two touchdowns and added another through the air, gave his team a 21-19 lead early in the third with a 7-yard scoring scramble around left end.
Brahmas 18, Stallions 9
The host San Antonio Brahmas handed the Birmingham Stallions their first loss of the season and surged ahead of St. Louis for first place in the XFL Conference.
The Brahmas (7-2) ran for 127 yards and two touchdowns on 33 carries while holding the potent Stallions offense to just 278 total yards. San Antonio built a 12-3 lead at halftime on touchdowns by Justin Smith and Morgan Ellison. Birmingham (8-1) quarterback Adrian Martinez finally got his team into the end zone with a third-quarter 15-yard touchdown pass to Jace Sternberger. But Ellison scored for the second time to account for the final margin, and tee*z Tabor wrapped up the win with an interception of Martinez at the goal line.
San Antonio and St. Louis face each other in St. Louis next week in the final week of the regular season to decide the conference first-place finisher and who will earn home-field advantage in the playoffs, where they’ll face each other once again. St. Louis won the first meeting of the season on April 14 in San Antonio, 31-24.

KYLE LARSON QUALIFIES 10TH FOR SUNDAY’S COCA-COLA 600 IN CHARLOTTE AFTER ANOTHER BUSY TRAVEL DAY
CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — Kyle Larson qualified 10th for the Coca-Cola 600 following yet another busy day of travel between Indiana and North Carolina.
Larson is attempting to join Tony Stewart on Sunday as the only drivers to complete all 1,100 miles on the same day as part of running the Indianapolis 500-Coca-Cola 600 double.
The biggest question might not be whether the highly talented Larson is up for the task, but if the weather will afford him the opportunity.
Rain is in the forecast for Indianapolis, which has the potential to delay his arrival in Charlotte.
He will start fifth at Indy in Arrow McLaren’s No. 17 car in a race that begins around 12:45 p.m. Eastern on Sunday. Immediately after, Larson will be flown to Charlotte for a race that is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. He will start 10th in the night race.
“Sure, yeah, it’s stressful because weather is always unpredictable,” Larson said earlier in the week. “But you just don’t really know until it’s happening. So it’s hard to plan for weather. You can have all these plans and backup plans and backup plans for the backup plan. But you just can’t really do anything or react until it’s kind of the moment. That’s what’s a little bit stressful.”
Last week, NASCAR made accommodations for Larson by pushing back the start of the All-Star Race 16 minutes to ensure he made it to North Wilkesboro Speedway in time for $1 million exhibition race after spending the day qualifying at the Indianapolis 500.
He arrived at the track more than an hour before the start of the race by helicopter as fans cheered.
It’s unclear how long NASCAR would postpone the start of one of its crown jewel events — one that former President Donald Trump plans to attend — if the Indianapolis 500 runs long.
Joey Logano said he’s OK with NASCAR delaying the green flag start for the Coca-Cola 600 again on Sunday — as long as it is within reason.
“Pushing it back a little bit, I’m sure, doesn’t really affect much,” said Logano, who won last week’s All-Star Race. “Pushing it back a lot does affect it a lot. Are we willing to give up ratings to get somebody here that chose not to be here to go race the Indy 500?”
Logano said it is really cool that Larson is attempting the double, but added, “I don’t think we should wait very, very long by any means because I don’t want it to hurt the rest of our sport for somebody that showed up late for the race. I don’t think I can call in and say, ‘Hey, I’m stuck in traffic because I left my house late. Can you wait for me?’ It’s not gonna happen.”

GRAYSON MURRAY DIES AT AGE 30 A DAY AFTER WITHDRAWING FROM COLONIAL, PGA TOUR SAYS
Two-time PGA Tour winner Grayson Murray died Saturday morning at age 30, one day after he withdrew from the Charles Schwab Cup Challenge at Colonial.
There were no immediate details on the circ*mstances of his death, only shock and grief from the PGA Tour and his management team.
“I am at a loss for words,” PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan said. “The PGA Tour is a family, and when you lose a member of your family, you are never the same. We mourn Grayson and pray for comfort for his loved ones.”
His management company, GSE Worldwide, confirmed the death and said it was heartbroken.
“We will hold off on commenting until we learn further details, but out heart aches for his family, his friends and all who loved him during this very difficult time,” GSE said in a statement.
Monahan said he spoke with Murray’s parents to offer condolences, and they asked that the tournament in Fort Worth, Texas, continue.
He said grief counselors would be on site at the PGA Tour and Korn Ferry Tour event. Monahan said he was headed to Texas.
Murray, who had dealt with alcohol and mental issues in the past, made a massive turnaround this year and won the Sony Open, hitting wedge to 3 feet for birdie on the final hole to get into a playoff and winning it with a 40-foot putt.
He also won the Barbasol Championship in 2017.
Murray, who was No. 58 in the world ranking, was coming off a tie for 43rd in the PGA Championship last week at Valhalla. He also made the cut in his Masters debut, finishing 51st, and was in the field for the U.S. Open next month at Pinehurst No. 2.
GREG CHALMERS, ERNIE ELS SHARE SENIOR PGA CHAMPIONSHIP LEAD
Greg Chalmers fired a 5-under 66 on Saturday and shares the lead with Ernie Els after three rounds of the KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship at Benton Harbor, Mich.
Chalmers and Els, who carded a 69, are at 10-under 203 entering the final round at Harbor Shores Resort. Richard Bland (74 on Saturday) and Chris DiMarco (71) are tied for third and Richard Green (70) is two shots back in fifth.
Chalmers, from Australia, registered five of his seven birdies on the front nine and also had two bogeys during his third straight sub-70 round at the major tournament.
Chalmers, 50, is enjoying being in contention. This is his fifth Champions Tour start, and his lone PGA title in 485 career starts came in 2016 at the Barracuda Championship.
“This is the great thing about sort of Champions Tour golf,” Chalmers said. “It feels like you’re part of a big event, which you are.
“So I’ve been looking forward to this opportunity. I need the challenge. I’m looking forward to see how I do tomorrow and how I play. See if I can embrace it with both hands and play some good golf.”
Els is looking for his fourth Champions title and his first since winning the Hoag Classic 14 months ago.
The South African had six birdies and four bogeys during his Saturday round.
Els won four major titles on the PGA Tour but hasn’t been the same of type of force since joining the Champions Tour in 2020.
“These guys are good, man,” Els said. “I haven’t really fired on all my cylinders. I’ve been missing a couple either in the putting or driving or something, you know.
“I’m trying to put all the pieces together. I didn’t have a great time from 45 to 50, playing on the regular Tour, so to kind of piece it back together has taken a bit longer. I’ve played really decent golf on the Champions Tour but haven’t had the wins that I’ve been aiming for.”
Bland was the second-round leader after opening with 64 and 66 but he struggled mightily on Saturday. This event is his first on the Champions Tour.
The Englishman had just two birdies to go with five bogeys. Four of the bogeys came during a six-hole stretch from Nos. 8-13.
Still, Bland is just one shot off the lead after struggling all day.
“If someone offered you a shot off the lead at the start of the week, probably would’ve taken it,” Bland said. “Doesn’t quite feel as good as that right now, but just got to get on with it.
“Been around enough to know that you’re going to have some poor days. Of course you are. But do a little bit of work now and just try and get a little bit of just better feel for the golf swing and do a little bit of putting.”
DiMarco had two birdies and two bogeys during his even-par round.
“Hitting the ball for the most part where I was looking,” DiMarco said. “When you’re doing that it’s pretty hard to hit bad shots. Hit a lot of really solid shots out there.”
Green, who shared the first-round lead, carded eagles on two par-five holes (5 and 9) but the Aussie only had one birdie and piled up four bogeys.
“Those two eagles, you know, they saved my round today big time,” Green said. “I dropped a couple shots, and to get myself back under par and through nine holes was really nice. When things go right like that you feel like you’re in for a good week.”
Defending champion Steve Stricker is three shots back and tied for sixth after shooting a 71. Also at 206 are Jason Caron (67), Stewart Cink (71) and Australia’s Scott Hend (70).
DAVIS RILEY HOLDS FOUR-SHOT LEAD AT CHARLES SCHWAB CHALLENGE
Davis Riley shot a 4-under-par 66 on Saturday to take a four-shot lead into the final round of the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, Texas.
Riley is at 14 under 196 and he’ll be pursued by Scottie Scheffler, who moved into second place with his bogey-free 63 in the third round. He birdied three of the past four holes in what marked a return to form following the chaotic off-course drama from a week earlier at the PGA Championship.
There was a stunning tone around the third round, when the announcement came that PGA Tour player Grayson Murray had died at age 30. He shot 68 in the tournament’s first round and then withdrew late in the second round. Murray was from Raleigh, N.C., and had won this year’s Sony Open in Hawaii.
“We were devastated to learn — and are heartbroken to share — that PGA Tour player Grayson Murray passed away this morning. I am at a loss for words,” PGA Tour commissioner Jay Monahan said. “The PGA Tour is a family, and when you lose a member of your family, you are never the same.”
Riley, who led after the second round at 10 under following Friday’s bogey-free 64, went eight more holes without a bogey Saturday.
Scheffler’s third-round score was three shots better than any other golfer. Hayden Buckley (69) and Pierceson Coody (69) share third place at 9 under.
Robby Shelton’s 67 moved him to 8 under so he’ll also be in pursuit of the $1.638 million winner’s prize. Tony Finau (68) is sixth at 7 under.
Riley, who missed seven of 14 cuts entering the tournament, stretched his lead to five shots on Coody through eight holes with birdies on five holes in the round to that point. Even after a bogey on No. 9, his lead was at six strokes.
After another bogey on the 10th hole, Riley was steady the rest of the way by going 1 under for the final eight holes.
Defending champion Emiliano Grillo of Argentina shot 73, dipping into a tie for 69th place at 5 over.

MLB ROUNDUP: ROYALS COUGH UP 3 LEADS, STILL DOWN RAYS IN 11TH
Nelson Velazquez homered and drove in the go-ahead run with a double as the Kansas City Royals beat the Tampa Bay Rays 7-4 in 11 innings on Saturday afternoon in St. Petersburg, Fla.
Kansas City scored three runs in the top of the 11th to put the game away after giving up three earlier leads.
In the top of the 11th, Velazquez plated automatic runner Freddy Fermin with a double to center, then scored on Adam Frazier’s infield single. Maikel Garcia added on with an RBI single.
The Royals had gone ahead 4-3 in the top of the 10th on Vinnie Pasquantino’s sacrifice fly to left, but the Rays tied it for a third time in the bottom of the inning when Jonny DeLuca doubled to left to score Harold Ramirez.
James McArthur (2-2) got the win with two innings of relief, and Nick Anderson picked up his first save. Former Royals left-hander Richard Lovelady (0-3) took the loss.
Orioles 5, White Sox 3
Ryan O’Hearn, Anthony Santander and Jordan Westburg homered in the eighth inning as Baltimore rallied for a victory against host Chicago.
The three-homer barrage across a five-batter stretch created a stunning turnaround after the Orioles had only three singles entering the eighth. Baltimore starter Albert Suarez pitched four shutout innings in his longest outing since April.
White Sox starter Erick Fedde pitched 6 1/3 shutout innings and Gavin Sheets smacked a two-out, bases-loaded triple in the fifth inning for the team’s only runs. Chicago lost for the eighth time in nine games.
Giants 7, Mets 2 (10 innings)
Brett Wisely had three hits, including a tiebreaking RBI single leading off the 10th inning, as visiting San Francisco mounted another late-inning comeback to defeat New York in the middle game of a three-game series.
Patrick Bailey had an RBI single in the sixth and LaMonte Wade Jr. tied the score with a run-scoring single in the ninth for the Giants, who have won four straight, all after trailing in the eighth inning or later.
After Wisely’s 10th-inning single against Sean Reid-Foley (1-2), Bailey ended up walking with the bases loaded and Mike Yastrzemski laced a three-run triple two outs later. Starling Marte belted his sixth homer of the season in the second and Brett Baty hit a tiebreaking solo shot in the seventh to account for the Mets’ runs.
Tigers 2, Blue Jays 1
Kerry Carpenter hit a two-run homer, Reese Olson recorded his first win this season in his 10th start and host Detroit topped Toronto.
Olson (1-5) was forced to leave his previous start at Kansas City with a right hip contusion after being struck by a line drive. He limited the Blue Jays to one unearned run and three hits in 6 1/3 innings. Tyler Holton pitched the ninth for his first save this year and the second of his career.
Blue Jays starter Jose Berrios (5-4) allowed two runs and seven hits while striking out five in seven innings. Davis Schneider drove in Toronto’s lone run with a double.
Twins 5, Rangers 3
Alex Kirilloff blasted a three-run homer in the bottom of the eighth inning to help Minnesota rally for a win against Texas in the second game of a three-game series in Minneapolis.
Twins starter Chris Paddack allowed two runs and four hits in five innings. Cole Sands (2-0) threw two innings of scoreless relief before Jhoan Duran pitched the ninth to earn his sixth save for Minnesota, which has won four in a row following a seven-game losing streak.
Rangers starter Michael Lorenzen allowed one run and three hits over six innings. Ezequiel Duran homered and Leody Taveras had two hits and an RBI for Texas, which has lost six in a row and 12 of its past 14.
Nationals 3, Mariners 1
Four Washington relievers combined for four hitless innings as the Nationals defeated visiting Seattle, sending the Mariners to their season-worst fourth consecutive loss.
Dylan Floro (1-0) got the victory and Kyle Finnegan pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for his 14th save. Keibert Ruiz went 2-for-2 with a double, an RBI and a run for the Nationals, who scored two runs in the seventh inning to break a 1-1 tie.
The Mariners tied it in the fifth, as Julio Rodriguez led off the frame with a 433-foot solo shot to center field on a 1-2 sinker from Nationals starter Trevor Williams. It was just the third home run of the season for Rodriguez and snapped an 0-for-17 slump.
Pirates 4, Braves 1
Mitch Keller was effective through 6 2/3 innings and Nick Gonzales extended his hitting streak to six games with an RBI double to help Pittsburgh defeat visiting Atlanta.
Keller (6-3) allowed one run on six hits to go along with no walks and four strikeouts to earn his first career win against Atlanta, improving to 1-3. David Bednar tossed a scoreless ninth for his 11th save of the year.
Braves starter Reynaldo Lopez (2-2) went 4 2/3 innings, allowing three runs (two earned) and five hits. His night came to an end when the game went into a rain delay that lasted nearly 30 minutes in the bottom of the fifth. Atlanta has lost two in a row and seven of its past 10 games.
Athletics 3, Astros 1
JP Sears combined with four relievers on a four-hitter, Brent Rooker continued his hot month of May with a two-run double and Oakland finally got a win over visiting Houston.
Sears (4-3) allowed just one unearned run over six innings. He pitched with a lead since the bottom of the first, when Rooker, who entered the game with 19 RBIs in 21 games in May, ripped his double.
Mauricio Dubon collected two hits for the Astros, who had beaten the A’s in their first five meetings of the season. Houston starter Spencer Arrighetti (2-5) was charged with three runs on five hits in five-plus innings.
Brewers 6, Red Sox 3
Milwaukee received a solo home run from Brice Turang and scored five runs in the third inning en route to a victory over host Boston.
Joey Ortiz headlined the third with a two-run double that drove in Gary Sanchez and Sal Frelick to increase the Brewers’ lead to 5-0. Six consecutive batters reached base with two outs in the inning.
All five runs were scored against Boston starting pitcher Nick Pivetta (2-3), who left the mound with one out in the fourth. He gave up seven hits, struck out three and walked three.
ORIOLES ACQUIRE RELIEVER THYAGO VIEIRA IN A TRADE WITH THE BREWERS
CHICAGO (AP) — The Baltimore Orioles acquired reliever Thyago Vieira in a trade with the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday.
Baltimore got Vieira and minor league pitcher Aneuris Rodriguez from Milwaukee for minor league right-hander Garrett Stallings.
Vieira, 31, had no record and a 5.64 ERA in 16 appearances with Milwaukee this season before he was designated for assignment on Monday. The right-hander is 2-2 with two saves and a 6.18 ERA in 41 career big league appearances, also playing for Seattle and the Chicago White Sox.
Stallings, 26, was a fifth-round pick by the Los Angeles Angels in the 2019 amateur draft. He went 0-1 with a 5.67 ERA in 11 games, four starts, for Triple-A Norfolk this season.
BOSTON RHP GARRETT WHITLOCK SAYS HIS SEASON IS OVER WITH ELBOW SURGERY ON HORIZON
BOSTON (AP) — Boston Red Sox right-hander Garrett Whitlock said his season is over and he’s expected to have his right ulnar collateral ligament repaired with an internal brace.
The 27-year-old Whitlock, who had Tommy John surgery when he was in the New York Yankees’ farm system in 2019, said the less evasive surgery is currently being planned.
Whitlock is scheduled to see Dr. Jeff Dugas on May 29 in Birmingham, Alabama.
“The rehab from this is a ton easier than Tommy John. It’s one of those things where you keep moving forward,” Whitlock said in the clubhouse Saturday before the Red Sox played the Milwaukee Brewers.
Recovery from internal brace, which uses artificial material to make the repair, has allowed pitchers to return to the majors in as little as nine months. Tommy John surgery, which uses a tendon from elsewhere in the body to replace the torn ligament, has a rehab period of 12 to 18 months.
Whitlock was upbeat and vowed to be ready for 2025.
“Just because I’m dealt another blow, it’s how you get up, how you fight and that’s how I’m viewing this and how I’m attacking it,” he said.
NFL NEWS
VETERAN C BILLY PRICE (BLOOD CLOT) ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT
Former first-round draft pick Billy Price announced his retirement from the NFL on Saturday morning due to the potential of complications from a blood clot.
Price, a center, last played in the league with the Arizona Cardinals during the 2022 season.
“In the blink of an eye, everything can be taken away,” Price wrote on Instagram. “On April 24th I had emergency pulmonary embolism surgery to remove a saddle clot that was entering both of my lungs. As a healthy 29 year old, an unprovoked pulmonary embolism with no further medical explanation is terrifying. I am truly thankful to be alive today.
“Unfortunately, I will be retiring from the NFL as the risk of an internal bleed while on blood thinners creates tremendous risk.”
Price played in 69 career games (45 starts) with the Bengals, New York Giants and Cardinals since being selected by Cincinnati with the 21st overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft out of Ohio State.
With the Buckeyes, he won the Rimington Trophy, which honors the nation’s top center, in 2017.

ATP ROUNDUP: CASPER RUUD WINS TWICE TO TAKE GENEVA TITLE
Second-seeded Casper Ruud recorded a pair of victories on Saturday to capture his third Gonet Geneva Open title in four years in Switzerland.
Ruud advanced to the final with a 1-6, 6-1, 7-6 (4) win over Italian Flavio Cobolli to complete a match delayed on Friday because of heavy rain. The 25-year-old Norwegian returned less than three hours later to capture his 12th ATP Tour trophy, courtesy of a 7-5, 6-3 victory over Tomas Machac of the Czech Republic.
Ruud overcame a deficit by winning the final three games in the first set versus Machac. He kept control in the second and benefited from three Machac double faults to end the match in one hour, 47 minutes.
“It was a challenging week,” Ruud said. “All the matches are tough, no matter who you play. Tough to find a groove, the weather has been a bit challenging all week but today was fantastic. I feel very happy to win again here in Geneva. It’s been a very good season so far.”
Open Parc
Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard won his maiden ATP Tour title in his home country with a 6-4, 1-6, 7-6 (4) victory over sixth-seeded Tomas Martin Etcheverry in the final at Lyon, France.
Mpetshi Perricard, a 20-year-old wild card, was on the brink of defeat at the hands of the Argentine in the deciding tiebreak before capturing the match in two hours, 29 minutes.
“It was crazy, a very good final,” said Mpetshi Perricard, who recorded 11 aces and won 68 percent of his first-serve points. “I was down in the second set, but I managed to do better. I’m very happy to win this tournament and I now have a lot of confidence for Roland Garros.”
The French Open, at Roland Garros in Paris, begins Sunday.

IN-STATE CB MARK ZACKERY IV COMMITS TO NOTRE DAME
Cornerback Mark Zackery IV committed to Notre Dame’s 2025 class on Saturday, keeping a four-star in-state prospect at home.
Zackery is ranked by the 247Sports composite as the No. 15 cornerback in the class. He plays at Ben Davis High School in Indianapolis.
Zackery told the Indianapolis Star that he was sure of his decision, despite a number of Power Five suitors.
“I was going to wait it out to take official visits just to have that experience,” he said, “but I felt like there was no need for me to go to the other places when I know where my heart is and where I want to be. I know things change and there’s a lot going on with the transfer portal and things like that, but Notre Dame feels like the place for me.”
The 6-foot Zackery played both offense and defense for Ben Davis last season when the school won the Class 6A state championship but projects as a college cornerback. He also plays basketball at Ben Davis and will enroll at Notre Dame in June so that he can have another hoops season.
Will he be a two-sport participant for Notre Dame?
“I’ve been talking to (Notre Dame basketball coach Micah Shrewsberry) about possibly playing basketball, too,” Zackery told the newspaper. “That’s something to take into consideration. But very slowly with that because I know it’s a big load in college. But it’s something to take into consideration because basketball means a lot to me.”
Notre Dame currently has the No. 1 class in the 2025 recruiting cycle, as ranked by 247Sports. The ranking is based on bulk. The Irish have 22 commits while the No. 2 program, Ohio State, has 12, including three five-star prospects.
INDY 500
STORYLINES SURROUND STAR-STUDDED INDY 500
INDIANAPOLIS — Preparation for Sunday’s 108th Indianapolis 500 certainly has been a high-profile work — from a Penske Racing sweep of the top starting positions to the impressive IndyCar debut of NASCAR star Kyle Larson to the possibilities that the great race could produce its all-time winningest driver in Helio Castroneves.
When the 33 cars roll off the grid Sunday at 12:45 p.m. ET, there will be no lack of intrigue. Storylines fill the rows. Famous names are primed to show their skill and young, newcomers are eager to prove themselves.
New Zealander Scott McLaughlin edged his Penske Racing teammate, Australian Will Power, for the lead position on the grid. They will start alongside defending race winner, American Josef Newgarden, at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
McLaughlin, 30, a former Australian Supercars champion, has never led a lap in the Indianapolis 500, but the winner at Alabama’s Barber Motorsports Park race last month is hoping to win a second trophy in the season’s most high-profile event. Power is the 2018 Indy 500 champion and a former series champ. Newgarden, a two-time series champion, is hoping to become the first back-to-back winner of the race since Castroneves in 2001-02.
“Being fastest here for qualifying, obviously it’s the first box you want to tick,” McLaughlin said. “But ultimately, you want to win on Sunday. It’s still been a really cool week and I’ve really enjoyed it. I’ve really tried to soak it in as much as I can, but at the end of the day, the job is this weekend.”
Castroneves, 49, meanwhile, is making his only scheduled start of the season, hoping to earn a second win for his Meyer-Shank Racing team and that historic fifth Indy trophy for himself — breaking a tie with legends A.J. Foyt, Rick Mears and Al Unser Sr.
Castroneves will start his No. 06 MSR Honda 20th but showed more promise than that indicates. He was second fastest in Friday’s traditional “Carburetion Day” final practice and has a chance, come race day.
Arguably, the biggest story of Indy’s famous Month of May has been the amazing work of Larson, the 2021 NASCAR Cup Series champion and current points leader who is hoping to complete the Memorial Day “Double” — racing in the Indianapolis 500 by day and NASCAR’s Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway later Sunday evening.
Weather will play a big role in his opportunity, with a 50 percent chance of rain forecast for Indianapolis Sunday afternoon. Larson would need to be on a plane bound for North Carolina by 4:15 p.m. ET to make that Charlotte green flag. Should the Indy race be held Monday, he would fly back to North Carolina, then back to Indiana to compete in it.
But Larson, 31, has been hopeful about both Sunday’s weather and his chances in his IndyCar Series debut. He has consistently been among the top-10 quickest drivers during this month’s practice sessions and his fifth-place qualifying position is best among the seven Indy rookies.
His participation and success, so far, have earned him high praise from both his open-wheel competitors and those among the stock car set. The NASCAR team on his No. 5 Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet even attended Friday’s Carb Day practice.
“I’ve had so much advice throughout the last year I feel like,” Larson said of his opportunity. “I’ve had lots of people just telling me to enjoy the experience, enjoy the event and I’ve really tried — I feel like I’ve done a good job of that.
“I don’t know how often I’m going to run this race,” he added. “I don’t know if this is the only year I’m running it. Just trying to enjoy it and I have. It’s been the coolest experience, for sure, to this point and we haven’t even run the race yet.”
INDIANA PACERS BASKETBALL
The Pacers put together an impressive performance for much of Saturday night. Even without injured All-Star point guard Tyrese Haliburton, Indiana got big nights from the likes of Andrew Nembhard and T.J. McConnell, built a double-digit lead by halftime and led the top-seeded Boston Celtics by as many as 18 points in the second half of Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals.
But Boston charged back, closing the game with a 13-2 run to come away with a 114-111 victory to take a 3-0 lead in the best-of-seven series. The Pacers now will need to win on Monday night in Game 4 to avoid elimination.
Nembhard was spectacular in the loss, scoring 32 points on 12-of-21 shooting and dishing out nine assists, but had a turnover in the final seconds with the Pacers down one.
Jayson Tatum led Boston with 36 points, 10 rebounds, and eight assists, going 12-for-23 from the field, 5-for-10 from 3-point range, and 7-for-11 from the free throw line. Jaylen Brown added 24 points and Al Horford scored 23 points while going 7-for-12 from beyond the arc, but it was veteran point guard Jrue Holiday that came through in the clutch.
Holiday scored the go-ahead basket with 39.4 seconds remaining, then stripped the ball from Nembhard in the closing seconds to seal the victory.
The Pacers led by as many as 18 points in the third quarter, but Boston managed to whittle the margin down to nine by the end of the frame.
The Celtics continued to climb back in the ensuing minutes, opening the final frame with a 9-3 run capped by Horford’s sixth 3-pointer of the night that made it 93-90 with 8:29 remaining.
McConnell and Nembhard provided some much-needed breathing room with McConnell burying a fall-away jumper from the right baseline at 7:15 and then Nembhard driving left and converting a reverse layup at 6:40.
Boston got back within four following Brown’s dunk with 4:05 remaining, but Nembhard and McConnell took turns knocking down threes from the right corner and keep a little cushion for the Blue & Gold.
Jayson Tatum’s three cut the lead to 109-106 with 1:41 to play. On the other end, Nembhard drove and drew a foul on Derrick White, then sank both free throws with 1:26 left.
On the other end, Tatum threw a behind-the-back dish to Horford in the left corner. The veteran big man knocked down his seventh three of the night to make it a two-point game with 1:12 remaining.
Siakam missed a layup on the other end before Holiday bulled his way to paint and converted a basket through contact from Siakam. He made the free throw to complete the three-point play and give Boston a 112-111 lead with 38.9 seconds to play.
Out of a timeout, Nembhard missed a runner and Boston secured the rebound. With an eight-second difference between the game clock and the shot clock, the Pacers opted not to foul.
After running down the shot clock, Tatum drove left and was met at the rim by Siakam. Nembhard secured the rebound and opted to push the break rather than call timeout. He tried to drive on Holiday at the top of the key, but the second-team All-Defensive team guard poked the ball away with his left hand.
Siakam got to Holiday to foul him with 1.7 seconds remaining. After Holiday hit both free throws, the Pacers used their final timeout to set up a final play. Nesmith got an open look from the right wing, but his shot bounced off the rim as the buzzer sounded.
McConnell finished with 23 points on 10-of-17 shooting, nine rebounds, and six assists in 29 minutes off the bench for Indiana. Myles Turner recorded a double-double with 22 points and 10 rebounds, while Siakam had 22 and six assists.
Haliburton was ruled out hours before the game due to a left hamstring injury that he suffered in Game 2 on Thursday night in Boston. Carlisle said that Haliburton really wanted to play, but the decision was “taken out of his hands.” His status for Game 4 is uncertain.
“Our guys played a courageous game,” Carlisle said. “Nembhard was great. Pascal was great. Turner was great. McConnell, what can you say about him. Our bench guys fought. We came up a little short tonight, but we will be back on Monday and we will be punching even harder.”
The Celtics were red-hot to start Game 3, hitting their first six shots. Tatum was responsible for three of them, scoring eight points as Boston jumped out to an early 16-9 lead.
But playing without Haliburton, the Pacers made a conscious effort to attack the rim throughout the opening quarter, whether that was feeding the ball inside to Siakam and Turner when they were matched up on smaller defenders, or attacking the basket off the dribble.
Siakam scored 11 points and Turner added eight in the opening frame, which Indiana closed with an 8-2 run to trim the deficit to 32-31. 26 of the Pacers’ points in the first quarter were scored in the paint, with the other five coming from the free throw line.
On the other end, the Celtics went 12-for-21 from the field and 5-for-11 from 3-point range in the first quarter, with Tatum scoring 15 points on 6-of-10 shooting (2-of-4 from beyond the arc).
Turner scored four more points and Siakam added another bucket as the Blue & Gold opened the second quarter with an 8-2 spurt to take the lead for the first time.
A little later in the frame, Indiana reeled off another 15-4 run thanks to Nembhard (who scored five points in the sequence) and McConnell (who assisted on four baskets and scored two more) to stretch the margin to 59-44 with 4:19 remaining in the opening half.
They stretched the lead as high as 66-49 following Nembhard’s layup with 1:20 to go in the half. Boston scored eight straight points to get back within single digits briefly, but Nembhard buried a deep three just before halftime to get the lead back to 12.
Indiana shot 63.6 percent from the field and outscored Boston 42-18 in points in the paint over the first two quarters.
Nembhard scored 21 points in the first half on 8-of-10 shooting (3-of-3 from 3-point range) while also dishing out eight assists. Siakam and Turner added 15 points apiece on a combined 12-for-18 shooting.
“I just wanted to get the pace going,” Nembhard said of his mentality sliding over to point guard in Haliburton’s absence. “I think we play best when everybody’s touching it, we’re all moving, and we’re playing our Pacers hoops. I just wanted to not necessarily force the issue, but just let it come to me.”
Siakam and Turner each scored on the Pacers’ first two possessions of the second half to push the lead back to 16.
The hosts led by a comfortable margin for most of the third quarter, but Boston capitalized on some sloppy play by Indiana late in the frame, using a 10-2 to cut the deficit to 88-81 before Doug McDermott tipped in a Nembhard miss in the final second to make it a nine-point game entering the fourth quarter.
The Celtics ultimately completed their comeback in the final frame.
“They just didn’t go away,” McConnell said. “You’ve got to give credit where credit’s due. They kept chipping away and just made one more play than we did.”
The loss was the Pacers’ first at Gainbridge Fieldhouse this postseason. They had gone 6-0 at home in the playoffs prior to Saturday and hadn’t lost a game in the building since March 18.
Now, Indiana faces elimination for the third time this postseason. They won two games in the Eastern Conference Semifinals against New York after falling behind 3-2 in the series.
“We’re going to come at these guys harder on Monday,” Carlisle said. “Our fans need to come out and be louder than they’ve ever been, and we’ve got to extend the series and get back on the plane for Game 5. That’s what we’ve got to do.”
Inside the Numbers
Indiana outscored the Celtics 68-40 in points in the paint.
The Pacers went just 5-for-22 from 3-point range (22.7 percent). Nembhard was 4-for-7, but the rest of the team was 1-for-15 from beyond the arc. Boston went 16-for-46 (34.8 percent), outscoring Indiana by 33 points from long distance.
Indiana committed just 11 turnovers, but the Celtics converted them into 20 points on the other end. The Pacers scored 13 points off of nine Boston turnovers.
McConnell set new playoff career highs for points (23) and rebounds (nine).
Turner recorded his third double-double of the playoffs and his second this series (he also had 23 points and 10 boards in Game 1 on Tuesday in Boston).
Horford’s seven 3-pointers were the most the 37-year-old big man has ever made in an NBA game. Prior to Saturday, Horford had played 1,078 regular season games and 179 playoff games and never made more than six threes.
Tatum surpassed 30 points for the fourth time in his last six contests.
You Can Quote Me On That
“So proud of our guys and how they competed from start to finish. Our thing all year has been just compete level and bring everything you can and all that, and they did. …. We’re going to be back here Monday night looking to extend the series. We’re going to come at them even harder. We have to, we don’t have a choice.” -Carlisle on the team’s effort
“I thought we did a good job in the first half. The second half, not as much. They made runs and we weren’t able to come back and have that same intensity. We had a couple turnovers. Against a team like that, no lead is safe. We’ve got to play well to the end.” -Siakam on what changed in the second half
“Our pace, especially in transition — makes or misses, getting it out and attacking the rim — I thought it was really good in the first half. We continued to try to do that in the second half, but they made adjustments. We got there a little bit, but not as much as we would like.” -McConnell on the offense in the first half versus the second
“We have a lot of guys stepping up into bigger minutes in Tyrese’s absence. We slowed down a little bit down the stretch, and that’s the time of game, where we’re set up right now, we’ve got to keep tempo in the game. That’s something that we have to do. We missed some shots and there were some plays they could have gone a different way – that’s the best I can say it. I’m just very disappointed.” -Carlisle on what changed in the fourth quarter
“Just one of those things where it was next guy up. I think Andrew Nembhard took his game to another level tonight. But he’s been playing at a high level all year and has really stepped his game up in the postseason. We aren’t in that position without him.” -McConnell on Nembhard filling in for Haliburton
“I’m proud of his growth. It’s a tough game when our starting point guard is not in the game and you learn that before the game. It takes a lot of just maturity and growth to be able to step in there and play the way that he did tonight. He was incredible, controlling the pace of the game, getting people to their spots. That’s something that he’s always been able to do. And I think every time he has an opportunity, he’s shown it. Tonight was another night where he showed that he belongs and he’s a big part of our team.” -Siakam on Nembhard’s performance
“I think he did a good job in transition of just whoever was on getting right to the front of the rim and creating that advantage. Him putting that pressure on the defense allows everybody to kind of flatten up the floor and it gives more space for everyone on the perimeter. He did a good job of establishing that.” -Nembhard on Turner’s success in the post
“It’s a must-win for us. We’ve got to give everything that we have. To this point, we’ve had an incredible season and nobody wants to see it end. We’re going to fight to the end. I think for us, it’s just let’s get one game. We can’t look ahead. Whatever is in front of us don’t matter. We’ve got to focus on the next game and give everything we have to win that game.” -Siakam on the mentality heading into Game 4
“Obviously this one stings, but there’s no guy in this locker room that’s packed it in. We’re going to try to get one here and extend this series and then go back to Boston and try to make things difficult. There’s no guy in this locker room that’s going to quit. I’ll tell you that much.” -McConnell on the team’s mentality
Stat of the Night
Nembhard’s 32 points were not only a playoff career high, they were his most in any game in his career. His previous high was 31 points as a rookie at Golden State on Dec. 5, 2022 (in another game that Haliburton missed). That was the only time prior to Saturday that he had scored more than 25 points.
Noteworthy
Celtics backup center Luke Kornet missed the game due to a left wrist sprain he suffered in Game 2. Starting center Kristaps Porzingis was out once again with a right soleus strain and has not played since Game 4 in the first round against Miami.
Celebrities in attendance included former Colts punter and ESPN personality Pat McAfee (who “revved up” the crowd at the start of the game), actor Dylan Sprouse, supermodel Barbara Palvin, and rapper Flavor Flav.
No team in NBA history has overcome a 3-0 deficit in a best-of-seven series. The Pacers are 0-4 all-time when facing that deficit and have forced Game 5 once in those four series.

The Pacers and Celtics will meet again at Gainbridge Fieldhouse for Game 4 on Monday, May 27 at 8:00 PM ET.

INDIANAPOLIS INDIANS BASEBALL
DES MOINES, Iowa – Despite a three-run seventh inning to tie the game, the Indianapolis Indians fell for the second night in a row to the Iowa Cubs on Saturday at Principal Park, 6-5.
The Indians (22-25) were down by three runs through six innings in Des Moines before storming back against the Iowa bullpen trio of Brad Wieck, Zac Leigh and Riley Thompson (W, 2-0) in the seventh. The comeback effort was highlighted by RBI doubles from Canaan Smith-Njigba and Malcom Nuñez and an RBI single from Jake Lamb. However, Iowa responded a half-inning later against Indians reliever Geronimo Franzua (L, 1-4) with a single from David Bote to plate Alexander Canario to take the one-run lead that they wouldn’t relinquish. Indianapolis mustered just one baserunner in the final two innings against I-Cubs relievers Riley Martin and Carl Edwards Jr. (S, 5).
After the I-Cubs (23-27) opened scoring in the bottom of the first against Indians starter Domingo Germán, Matt Gorski put the Indians on the board with his eighth home run of the season and his seventh in his last 10 games. Iowa jumped out to a 5-1 lead with a run in both the second and third and a two-run fourth, but the Indians got one back in the fifth on a sacrifice fly from Lamb before their three-run seventh.
With Gorski’s homer, the Fishers native is now hitting an even .300 in 16 games in the month of May with 11 extra-base hits (six home runs) and 23 RBIs. In that stretch, Gorski has posted a 1.071 OPS. The loss dropped the Indians to 6-17 away from Victory Field this season, with 10 of those 17 road losses coming by a single run.
The Indians and Cubs conclude their six-game series on Sunday afternoon at 2:08 PM ET. Right-hander Quinn Priester (1-1, 4.58) gets the ball for the Indians for the second time this week against Iowa southpaw Thomas Pannone (3-4, 3.75), marking a rematch of the series opener on Tuesday night.
INDIANA BASEBALL
GAME 1: OMAHA, Neb. – Despite a productive day on the mound from the Hoosiers, Nebraska’s starter Will Walsh threw a complete game, allowing two runs, to force the if necessary game in the top half of the bracket at the Big Ten Tournament. The Indiana Baseball team (32-23-1, 15-9 B1G) scored first but couldn’t string hits together on Saturday (May 25) morning in a 4-2 defeat.
The combo of graduate student pitchers Ty Bothwell (L, 6-3) and Drew Buhr went all nine innings for the Hoosiers, striking out 11 batters and allowing just four runs. After a tough control day from the staff on Thursday, Buhr and Bothwell allowed just one walk in the contest.
Juniors Josh Pyne and Nick Mitchell strung together back-to-back doubles in the first inning to take a quick lead. IU threatened in the second, loading the bases, but couldn’t bring home any runs in the frame. Nebraska catcher Josh Caron had a pair of massive home runs, driving in all four runs for the visitors.
The two teams will have to play again tonight in an elimination game, Indiana’s first of the tournament and Nebraska’s fourth straight. The winner of Saturday night (5:00 PM CT) will advance to the Big Ten Tournament title game on Sunday afternoon at Charles Schwab Field.

Notes to Know
• For the 16th-straight game, the Hoosier pitching staff held its opponent to seven-or-fewer runs. In all four games against Nebraska this year, IU has limited the Huskers to five-or-fewer on the board. Drew Buhr and Ty Bothwell combined for 11 strikeouts in the loss.
• In what was potentially his last game of his IU career, Ty Bothwell came back on short rest and delivered 4.1 innings of work while punching out nine. He now has 231 career strikeouts which moves him to No. 7 on the all-time IU list. He now has the team lead this year with 82 punchies.
• The Hoosiers added three doubles to the season tally, taking them to 132 on the campaign. The 132 doubles are now third most all-time in a single season in program history. The all-time single season mark was set by the 1984 team with 138.
GAME 2:
OMAHA, Neb. – Facing elimination on Saturday (May 25) in the Big Ten Tournament, the Indiana Baseball team (32-24-1, 15-9 B1G) ran into one of the hottest teams in the country in (2) Nebraska, dropping a 10-4 contest and exiting the tournament in the semifinals.
Nebraska, a de facto host school, packed the stands with over 6,000 fans and jumped on IU from the start. The Huskers scored 10 runs on 11 hits with a third-inning double and fifth-inning home run doing the biggest damage against IU’s bullpen. In just his second start of the season, junior pitcher Julian Tonghini (L, 2-2) went three innings with three strikeouts.
The Hoosiers loaded the bases in the first inning but junior outfielder Carter Mathison struck out to end the threat. IU put a pair of runners on base in the third but scored just one, stranding two of a total 12 runners on the evening. Like most of the season, IU batters had a number of hard hit balls that found the opposing defense for loud outs.
IU and Nebraska met five times in the final two weeks of the season with all five games played in either Lincoln or Omaha. After winning the Friday game on May 10th, the Hoosiers mustered just 10 runs over the next 36 innings. Nebraska’s outstanding pitching staff led it to four-straight wins over IU to close out the season series, winning the biggest game of them all on Saturday night at Charles Schwab Field.
Mathison, junior outfielder Nick Mitchell and junior third baseman Josh Pyne all had multi-hit days. The Hoosiers added another pair of doubles, finishing the season with 134. Those 134 doubles match the 2013 squad for the second-most two-baggers on the program’s all-time single season list.

Notre Dame controlled the rest of the stanza, outscoring the Pioneers 3-0 to take a 9-5 lead into the fourth. Devon McLane, Eric Dobson and Chris Kavanagh did the damage to give Notre Dame the four-goal cushion.
Denver sent home their sixth and final goal of the day at the 13:37 mark to open the fourth period, but the Irish would respond with three unanswered goals in a minute’s time. Back-to-back goals from McLane and a goal from Nick Harris gave the Irish the 12-6 edge before Pat Kavanagh completed his fourth hat trick of the season, scoring one last goal for the Irish with 2:56 remaining.

INDIANA STATE BASEBALL
GAME 1: EVANSVILLE, Ind. – No. 1 Indiana State avenged an early loss in the 2024 Missouri Valley Championships to No. 6 Southern Illinois in Saturday afternoon’s elimination game as the Sycamores topped the Salukis, 7-3.
Indiana State rallied back from an early 2-0 deficit in the bottom of the third inning to take their first lead of the contest. The Sycamores plated three runs against SIU (33-27) starter Aidan Foeller courtesy of a trio of Saluki errors in the frame leading to Joe Kido, Grant Magill, and Dominic Listi all scoring in the inning. Listi provided the key hit with an RBI single to right with Magill sliding into the plate ahead of the throw to tie the game up at 2-2.
The Salukis rallied back against the Indiana State bullpen as Jordan Bach connected on an RBI double against Max McEwen before the ISU redshirt freshman escaped the jam in the top of the fifth getting Nathan Bandy to ground out to short to make it a 3-3 game.
Indiana State took the lead in the bottom of the sixth against SIU reliever Easton Dermody (4-3) as the Sycamores sent 10 batters to the plate while scoring four runs to take the 7-3 lead. Listi started the rally with a leadoff single before Luis Hernandez connected on a double off the wall in right center to put two in scoring position.

The Sycamores (42-13) advanced to the title game after falling in their tournament opener to No. 6 Southern Illinois on Wednesday afternoon following a lengthy weather delay as ISU dropped a 10-9 extra-inning decision to the Salukis.

EVANSVILLE BASEBALL
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – The University of Evansville baseball team capped its undefeated run through the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament on Saturday night, as the Purple Aces held off the top-seeded Indiana State Sycamores, 8-6, to win the tournament title at German American Bank Field at Charles H. Braun Stadium in Evansville. Evansville will now represent the MVC in the 2024 NCAA Tournament field, which will be announced on Monday at 11 a.m.
The Purple Aces advanced to the tournament championship game with a resounding 17-7 run-rule victory over Illinois State earlier on Saturday afternoon. The Redbirds actually jumped out to an early 6-1 lead through two innings, before Evansville exploded for seven runs in the third inning thanks to five doubles in the inning to grab a lead it would never lose. Senior designated hitter Kip Fougerousse led the offense against the Redbirds, going 3-for-4 with a home run and three RBI. Junior outfielder Harrison Taubert also had two hits and drove in four runs for UE.
In the nightcap against Indiana State, the top-seeded Sycamores scored three runs in the first inning to grab an early lead, before the Purple Aces came roaring back thanks to a six-run second inning. The first seven Purple Aces to bat in the second inning reached base, with senior shortstop Simon Scherry kick-starting the scoring with a two-run single, before graduate outfielder Mark Shallenberger tied the game at 3-3 on an RBI single to chase Indiana State starter Cam Edmonson (5-2). Fougerousse then greeted reliever Brennyn Cutts with a long three-run home run to right-center field to give UE a 6-3 lead.
Freshman starter Kenton Deverman (8-1) and reliever Max Hansmann would limit the Sycamores to just single runs in the seventh and eighth innings, as UE took a 6-5 lead to the ninth inning. Evansville then loaded the bases against the Indiana State bullpen, and scored two insurance runs on a bases-loaded hit-by-pitch and walk to grab an 8-5 lead. The Sycamores would get a run back in the ninth inning, but UE closer Jakob Meyer got Indiana State catcher Grant Magill to bounce into a game-ending 5-4-3 double play to give UE it’s first MVC Tournament title since 2006.
Shallenberger went 3-for-4 with two runs scored against Indiana State, while junior second baseman Cal McGinnis went 2-for-4 with a run scored and an RBI.

UINDY WOMEN’S GOLF
WINTER GARDENS, Fla. – The University of Indianapolis women’s golf return to the summit Saturday, winning the 2024 NCAA DII Championships in dramatic fashion. After UIndy battled St. Mary’s (Texas) to a slatemate in the final match play round, the Greyhounds earned a single-stroke win in the first sudden-death playoff hole to claim its third national title since 2015.
More details—including interviews and additional photos—to come.
FINAL
The teams ended the final round as close as it gets. Outside of Anci Dy’s impressive 67 and six-stroke win, the other four pairs were separated by a combined three strokes. Freshman Caroline Whallon earned a point for the Hounds, thanks in part to a clutch birdie on 16. Jess Haines battled to a tie in her pairing, while Ava Ray and Matilda Cederholm each lost by a single stroke.
The tiebreaker was once again in order, but unlike the quarterfinal’s total-score metric, the final demanded that the teams play it out. No. 18 was selected as the first sudden death hole, so all 10 players—two fivesomes—made a U-turn for the 18th tee.
Ray and Haines went off in the first fivesome and came up big, as the former birdied and the latter parred. Dy’s birdie highlighted the final group, as UIndy officially finished -1 in the playoff to best St. Mary’s by a stroke.
UINDY BASEBALL
SAGINAW, Mich. – The UIndy baseball team are the NCAA Midwest Regional Champions once again! The Greyhound swept Saginaw Valley State in two-straight games, winning the second 11-10 to punch their ticket back to the NCAA Division II Championship in Cary. N.C.
The Hounds have now beat two No. 1-seeds in the Super Regional on the road, with this year’s victory coming via a run differential of just two total runs.
HOW IT HAPPENED
Much like game one of the three-game set, the Hounds were all over the Cardinals early, jumping to a six-run lead after just two frames of action. The catalyst of the runs came off the bat of Zack Williams, who after an unlucky offensive day in game one, was dominant throughout nine innings of action. The senior first baseman tripled in his first at bat of the game, scoring the first run of the game for the Hounds.
An RBI by Cole Hampton in the first and then one by Luis Vergara in the second brought it to 3-0 in favor of the Hounds. The clutch hitting also brought Williams right back up with two runners on, where he once again delivered a big blow, plating two runs on a single.
However, in a case of severe déjà vu, the Cardinals rallied right back into it with their own big inning in the top of the third, leaving the Greyhound lead at just two.
That lead was brought to one higher by pure dominance on the basepath by Caleb Vaughn, as he stole not just second, but third and home to make it 7-5. Vaughn’s speed did more than extend the lead, it made him the stolen base king for UIndy baseball. Already holding the single-season record – for now – Vaughn etched his name into the record books for most career stolen bases as a UIndy Greyhounds.
From that point, it was continued back and forth baseball as Logan Peterson took the mound for the Greyhounds in just his second relief appearance of the season. Peterson proceeded to shove for two frames, leaving the game with an out and two runners on in the top of the eighth.
That left the final six outs of the ballgame on the back of E.J. White. However, after seeing the sidearmer the day before, the Cardinals jumped on him, plating the tying run on a sac fly and a single to centerfield.
That set the stage for offensive heroics for the Hounds. With one out, Vaughn hit the clutchest home runs of his career to deep centerfield, giving the Hounds a 10-9 lead.
And for even more insurance for White, Nick Lukac just two batters later went oppo taco to make it 11-9 in favor of the Greyhounds. The pair of homers left it in the capable hands of White, who after some scary contact by the Cardinals, got the job done and was swarmed by his teammates on the mound as back-to-back Regional Champs.
HOUND BYTES
Head Coach Al Ready on the Hounds going back to Cary…
“It’s really special, I couldn’t be more proud of these guys they work really hard all year long. A lot of people counted us out at the beginning of the year, given what we lost on the mound and so forth. But with all the experience we brought back, the upperclassmen, the Caleb Vaughns, the Drew Donaldsons, the Zack Williams, I knew we were gonna be right back here in this position.”
Ready on Vaughn’s record…
“Man that is just our game. Yeah he hit a bomb today, but runs are hard to come by and sometime stolen bases are exactly what you need to win. He’s had many of them over the year and nobody deserves that record more than Caleb Vaughn.”
UP NEXT
The Hounds will await to see who they will face in their first game of the NCAA DII Championship in Cary. N.C. Stay tuned to @UIndybaseball on social media for updates.

May 26, 1923 – The Inaugural 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race for cars had its inaugural race through public roads around Le Mans, France. The debut winners of the now famous car race were André Lagache and René Léonard both of France for Chenard & Walcker.
May 26, 1925 – The Future Baseball Hall of Fame center fielder of the Detroit Tigers, Ty Cobb became the first player in the MLB to collect 1,000 extra-base hits. The 12 time batting champion doubled in Detroit Tigers’ 8-1 win against the Chicago White Sox at Comiskey Park.
May 26, 1933 – Chuck Klein, Number 3 of the Philadelphia Philles hit for the cycle against the St Louis Cardinals.
FOOTBALL HISTORY
May 26, 1887 – Exeter, New Hampshire – Princeton’s tackle from 1908 to 1911, Ed Hart was born. He had to play his first couple of seasons at Princeton with a steel and leather neck brace on due to an accident he suffered in his very last high school game when he ran into the goal post according to the FootballFoundation.org. That devastating injury would not deter Ed though as he earned All-America honors in 1911 the season he was finally able to shed the neck brace. The top gridiron journalist of the day, Grantland Rice called him “one of the greatest tackles of all time.” Ed Hart was honored with induction into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1954 after the National Football Foundation tabulated their votes. Hart was a brave hero as his distinguished military record shows that he was a captain in the Army in World War I and a Major in the Marines in World War II. Ed must have truly been a treat to be around as his history is filled with interesting stories of great athleticism on display. This colorful 208 pound powerhouse has some interesting tales of his strength that have lasted till this day. One such story has him and about 40,000 soldiers attending the Circue de Paris when a local strong man issued a challenge. The feared French showman would wrestle anybody in the crowd and guarantee to pin his man in 60 seconds. The Strongman’s claim might have been good on any other day but not when Ed Hart was in attendance. Hart came out of the large audience to face the strong man, and in a matter of moments Hart pinned him much to the shows embarrassment and to roars from the crowd of Allied servicemen. Another story from a different instance had Ed bet that three men from an Army football team could block him and knock him down, even if he stood on just one foot. With great strength, balance and determination Hart won that bet! The legend of Ed’s feats of wonder didn’t stop at those during his brilliant time overseas. Once a 195-pound buddy of his yelled “Catch me, Eddie!” and then proceeded to jump from a second-floor balcony at a Paris hotel. Just as requested, the amazing Ed Hart caught his friend before he could hit the ground.
May 26, 1895 – Bethany, West Virginia – Ira Rodgers, West Virginia’s fullback/quarterback from the years 1915 to 1917 and then again in 1919 arrived into this life. The National Football Foundation shares that Ira held the title of the fastest player of the Mountaineers. Rodgers led the Mountaineers to eight victories in 10 games that season, scoring 147 points to lead the nation in a personal crusade which put West Virginia on the comeback trail following World War I. The WVU football program like many others was suspended in the fall due to the World War in 1918. Play resumed in 1919 and a big question was if West Virginia could regain some of its moxy it showed in the final games of the 1917 season where they came on strong. Rodgers and the other Mountaineer eleven were quick to answer that question, as they recorded one sided victories over Marietta (61-0), Westminster (55-0), Bethany (60-0) and Ohio Wesleyan (55- 0). Even the traditional powerhouses of Maryland and Princeton fell in the wake of Mountaineer landslides, also. The only losses on their schedule were to Pittsburgh (26-0) and a close one against Centre College by the score of 14- 6. Besides using his speed and quickness to gain yardage on the ground, Rodgers also was among the nation’s premier early passers. This was showcased at a 1917 game against West Virginia Wesleyan, when Ira tossed the oversized mellon shaped ball of the time 51-yard pass – in the air to an awaiting receiver. Ira Rodgers received the great honor of being selected for inclusion into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1957. After school was over, Ira later returned to West Virginia as the Blue and Gold’s head coach, and posted an 11-12-2 record for three seasons.
May 26, 1902 – Paris, Illinois – Bernie Shively the University of Illinois guard from 1924 to 1926, was born. The NFF’s bio on Shively points out that he was one of the men in the trenches who blocked for Red Grange at Illinois. Grange’s talent for long runs was greatly enhanced by the agile, athletic guard who was quick and powerful. Bernie Shively played varsity football three years at Illinois, two with Grange and one afterward. That year, 1926, Bernie won All-America honors. This recognition of Shively’s skills says, “doing an outstanding job on offense and defense.” The National Football Foundation selected Bernie Shively for entrance into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1982.
Birthdays of VIPs Not Yet in the HOF
1949- Dan Pastorini was an NFL Quarterback for the Oilers, Raiders, Rams & Eagles during his long career. Houston drafted him in the 1971 NFL draft as the 3rd QB in what was touted as “the Year of the Quarterback”, as Jim Plunkett and Archie Maning were drafted ahead of him. Dan was tough nosed as player as he played through injuries including a puntured lung. Pastorini made the AFC Pro- Bowl team in 1975 and guided the Houston Oilers to the AFC Title game where they lost to Pittsburgh in a controversial pass play to wide out Mike Renfro.
1965- Greg Lloyd was an All Pro Outside Linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers from 1988 until 1997 and then played the 1998 season with the Carolina Panthers. Lloyd played college ball at Fort Valley State and was a 3 time All Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference selection as well as a 3 time Defensive MVP for his school. These accolades didn’t give many in the NFL ranks to notice his talent as he was not invited to the NFL Combine with others eligible for the 1987 NFL Draft. The Steelers finally drafter Greg in the 6th round ( 150th overall). He fought through injuries early in his career and finally cracked the starting lin up in the 1989 season. Mr. Lloyd went on to be named to five Pro Bowls and 3 NFL All-Pro teams during his career.
