This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Catcher Troy Claunch singled with two outs and the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning and No. 5 overall seed Texas A&M stranded 17 runners on base before posting a 5-4 victory over No. 12 seed Louisville in the first round of the College Station Super Regional on Friday night. Texas A&M (41-18) and Louisville (42-20-1) will play again Saturday. A win by the Aggies would send them to the College World Series for a seventh time. A win by the Cardinals, aiming for their sixth CWS appearance, would force a winner-take-all game on Sunday. Claunch gave Texas A&M a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first when he was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded and two outs. The Cardinals got a two-run single from Logan Beard and a sacrifice fly from Ben Bianco in the top of the second to grab a 3-1 lead. Brett Minnich doubled with two outs and scored on a single by Jordan Thompson in the third to pull the Aggies within a run. Ben Metzinger doubled in a run in the fifth to put the Cardinals up 4-2, but Thompson tied the game with a home run in the seventh — after Claunch led off with a single. Claunch's game-winning hit came after Louisville reliever Michael Prosecky loaded the bases on a single, walk and a hit batter. Prosecky (2-1) came on in the eighth with one out and one on via a walk and walked two more before striking out Kole Kaler to end the threat. Jacob Palisch (6-3) pitched two scoreless innings in relief to get the win. The Aggies finished the game with 11 hits, 10 walks and had four batters hit by pitches. __ More AP college sports: https://apnews.com/hub/college-sports and https://twitter.com/AP_Top25	https://www.expressnews.com/sports/article/Claunch-sends-Texas-A-M-past-Louisville-5-4-in-17234895.php	2022-06-11T06:13:40	en	0.959896
CLEVELAND (AP) — José Ramírez doubled twice, then homered to begin a three-run rally in the bottom of the ninth inning as the Cleveland Guardians sent Oakland to its 10th straight loss, beating the Athletics 3-2 on Friday night. The A’s are stuck in their first double-digit skid since 2011 and have been outscored 60-20 during the streak. Oakland has the worst record in the American League at 20-40 and has not won since May 29 against Texas. “Every time you think you’re going to get a break, they generally don’t go your way,” A’s manager Mark Kotsay said. “It’s never easy getting out of these situations. You have to earn them yourself.” Ramírez, who leads the majors with 56 RBIs, hit his 16th homer to lead off the ninth against Dany Jiménez (2-4). Cleveland then loaded the bases with no outs and Owen Miller delivered the tying sacrifice fly. Sam Moll relieved and gave up an infield single to Steven Kwan that again loaded the bases. Luke Maile followed with a sacrifice fly that scored rookie Oscar Gonzalez, setting off a celebration in the rain that unexpectedly arrived during the inning. “José is the best player in baseball, I’ve said it 50 times,” Guardians designated hitter Josh Naylor said. “He’s incredibly clutch. When he comes up in a close game, you know something is going to go down. He’s incredible.” Ramírez was the only baserunner to get past second until the ninth for the young Guardians, who have won nine of 11 and moved two games above .500. Gonzalez went 1 for 4, giving him hits in 13 of his first 14 career games. Roger Maris held the previous Cleveland franchise mark with 12. “Sometimes you just get out of their way because you don’t want to make them nervous,” Guardians manager Terry Francona said. “We’re going up against some men and we’ve got some kids, and they’re doing OK.” Oakland right-hander Paul Blackburn pitched eight shutout innings in the longest outing of his career, allowing four hits and striking out three to lower his road ERA to 0.93. Converted outfielder Anthony Gose (2-0) struck out two of the three batters he faced in the ninth. Cleveland starter Triston McKenzie worked six innings, allowing solo homers by Seth Brown and Sean Murphy. Brown homered in the first and Murphy went deep in the second. The A’s have 37 home runs — the second fewest in baseball — and only managed five hits to drop their league-low batting average to .209. “That’s a good team and they’re hot right now,” Blackburn said. “Times like this are tough for anybody, but you try to come in every day with a clear mind and not look at any streak.” DOWNWARD SPIRAL Athletics RHP Lou Trivino, who posted a team-high 22 saves in 2021, is tied for the most losses by a reliever in the American League with five. The deposed closer has a 9.20 ERA in 21 appearances this season, allowing 15 earned runs in 14 2/3 innings. “Lou is one of the guys in the bullpen that we need to have success,” Kotsay said. “And he’s had it here before.” TRAINER’S ROOM Athletics: 2B Jed Lowrie (wrist, shoulder soreness) was not in the lineup after being involved in an collision on the bases Thursday. Kotsay said Lowrie “is pretty sore and has been in for treatment, but there is no guarantee he’ll be available off the bench.” Lowrie has gone hitless in nine straight at-bats as part of a 5-for-42 slump. Guardians: RHP Aaron Civale (left gluteal soreness), who was injured May 20 against Detroit, will make a second rehab start for Triple-A Columbus. Civale threw 50 pitches in two innings Thursday, allowing two runs at Indianapolis. “By his account, Aaron was a little rusty, so he’ll pitch again in five days,” manager Terry Francona said. UP NEXT Athletics: RHP Frankie Montas (2-6, 3.06 ERA) seeks to stop his career-long losing streak at five. Montas has a 2.87 ERA and is holding opponents to a .214 average over his past nine starts, but has not earned a win. Guardians: RHP Zach Plesac (2-4, 4.72 ERA) has one win in his last seven starts, striking out eight over six innings in a 3-2 victory at Baltimore on June 5. Plesac has a 1-3 record with a 6.21 ERA during the timeframe. ___ More AP baseball: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports	https://www.ktsm.com/sports/national-sports/guardians-rally-for-3-in-9th-send-as-to-10th-straight-loss/	2022-06-11T06:13:42	en	0.97114

BAKU, Azerbaijan (AP) — Lewis Hamilton is optimistic Mercedes has made progress toward challenging the Formula One leaders and said the “adversity” of struggling to keep up has brought the team closer together. Ahead of Sunday’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix, the seven-time champion has just one podium finish from seven races, his worst start to a season since 2009, after Mercedes had to redesign a car that started the year with a tendency to bounce and shake at high speed. “Can I say it’s the best, most exciting journey? No, but it is an experience and it’s bringing the team closer,” Hamilton said Friday, speaking before practice. “It’s making us all have to sharpen our tools. The technology is advancing a lot to be able to understand it, and we’re pulling closer than ever before. I guess that’s what happens when you’re faced with adversity, and so there’s lots and lots of positives.” Hamilton said upgrades the team brought to the Spanish Grand Prix last month have “given us more of a direction to go in and it’s been positive” as he and teammate George Russell try to chase down title contenders Max Verstappen of Red Bull and Charles Leclerc of Ferrari. However, Hamilton’s cause for optimism wasn’t immediately evident in Friday’s practice sessions. The British driver had just the 12th fastest time, more than 1.6 seconds behind Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc and five places behind Russell. Leclerc set the pace, 0.248 seconds ahead of Sergio Pérez in the second practice session. Championship leader Max Verstappen had the third fastest time, 0.356 seconds behind Leclerc. Pérez led the first session. Russell is still chasing his first F1 win and warned Mercedes would likely stay behind Red Bull and Ferrari in Azerbaijan and needs more time to develop its car to challenge the top teams. “The car we had (for the first race of 2022) in Bahrain, that was sort of its maximum potential and we couldn’t really improve it from there on in,” he said. “Sometimes you’ve got to take a small step back to to take three steps forward, and I think we’re in that transitional process at the moment. I think it’ll be a few more races before we start to see us hopefully fighting with Ferrari and Red Bull.” Points leader Verstappen and Leclerc both suffered disappointment last year in Azerbaijan. The Dutchman’s tire blew at high speed, throwing him into the wall in a dramatic crash, while Leclerc started on pole position but lacked pace and dropped to fourth. That echoes Leclerc’s recent struggles — he has taken pole in each of the last three races but couldn’t convert any of them into wins as Verstappen overtook him in the standings. The last race in Monaco was particularly bitter as Ferrari made the wrong pit stop call and cost him a shot at winning on home soil. “Obviously in Monaco there was plenty to analyze because we’ve done some mistakes,” said Leclerc, who trails Verstappen by nine points. “What gives me the confidence for the future is that we found the reasons why we did those mistakes as a team. … We just obviously need to focus on ourselves, don’t do any other mistakes. And if we do everything perfect, I’m sure that we can have a great result this weekend.” Last year’s winner in Baku was Verstappen’s teammate Pérez, who comes into the weekend on a high after his Monaco victory and a new Red Bull contract. Now a title contender in his own right, 15 points off Verstappen, Pérez said the contract talks didn’t define him as Verstappen’s wingman. “There’s nothing in my contract that say that I need to finish second or something like that, you know,” he said. “So it was not a topic in the contract at all.” ___ More AP auto racing: https://apnews.com/hub/auto-racing and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports	https://www.ktsm.com/sports/national-sports/hamilton-optimistic-for-mercedes-progress-in-f1-adversity/	2022-06-11T06:13:48	en	0.965309
Washington Commanders defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio has been fined $100,000 by the team for his comments about protests in the wake of the police killing of George Floyd and the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Coach Ron Rivera announced the fine in a statement Friday after meeting with Del Rio earlier in the day. He said Del Rio’s statements were hurtful to members of the local community and did not reflect the views of the organization. Asked Wednesday about a social media post he made earlier in the week, Del Rio downplayed the deadly insurrection and questioned why the protests in the summer of 2020 after Floyd’s death were not receiving the same scrutiny. Del Rio called the Jan. 6, 2021, riot “a dust-up at the Capitol,” which he later apologized for. “He understands the distinction between the events of that dark day and peaceful protests, which are a hallmark of our democracy,” Rivera said in the statement, adding that Del Rio had a constitutional right to voice his opinion. “Words have consequences and his words hurt a lot of people in our community. I want to make it clear that our organization will not tolerate any equivalency between those who demanded justice in the wake of George Floyd’s murder and the actions of those on Jan. 6 who sought to topple our government.” Rivera said he feels strongly after their conversation that Del Rio “will have a greater understanding for the impact of his language and the values that our team stands for.” He said the money will be donated to the United States Capitol Police Memorial Fund. Del Rio, 59, is going into his third season running Washington’s defense on Rivera’s staff and in that time has shared his conservative political views on social media numerous times. A Twitter post Monday night prompted questions to Del Rio after an offseason workout, including whether he was concerned about how his thoughts might go over with players, the majority of whom are Black. “If they are and they want to talk about it, I’d talk about it with anybody,” Del Rio said. “No problem. At any time. But they’re not. I’m just expressing myself and I think we all as Americans have a right to express ourselves, especially if you’re being respectful. I’m being respectful.” While the Commanders players asked about Del Rio’s remarks declined comment or brushed off their significance in the locker room, multiple Virginia lawmakers expressed concern about the team’s latest in a long line of offseason issues. On Thursday, Virginia’s legislature abandoned a bill that would have given the NFL club tax incentives to build a stadium in the state. Del Rio’s comments were prompted by preparations for this week’s hearings by a House committee on the Jan. 6 riot. Lawmakers have presented evidence that former president Donald Trump knew he had lost the 2020 election but clung to his claims of election fraud and summoned the violent mob. ___ More AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl and https://apnews.com/hub/pro-32 and https://twitter.com/AP_NFL	https://www.ktsm.com/sports/national-sports/jack-del-rio-fined-100k-for-comments-about-capitol-riot/	2022-06-11T06:13:54	en	0.976217
A look at what’s happening around the majors on Saturday: ___ Dansby Swanson and the Braves will try for their 10th straight win when they host Pittsburgh. Atlanta already is on the longest winning streak in the National League this season. Bryce Harper, Kyle Schwarber and the Phillies go for their ninth win in a row when they face Arizona. Philadelphia is 7-0 under interim manager Rob Thomson — he is the first manager to win his first seven games since Joe Morgan won 12 straight with the Boston Red Sox in 1988. The Athletics, meanwhile, have lost 10 in a row after Cleveland rallied for three runs in the bottom of the ninth for a 3-2 victory. The A’s are struck in their first double-digit skid since 2011 and have been outscored 60-20 during the streak. Oakland has the worst record in the American League at 20-40. CLINT CUT The up-and-down career of Clint Frazier took another turn when he was cut by the Chicago Cubs. The 27-year-old outfielder was designated for assignment in a surprise decision by the team. He was at Yankee Stadium on Friday afternoon for the start of the Chicago-New York series and his Cubs uniform was hanging in his locker. “He was upset. Emotional, would be a good word,” manager David Ross said. “I think he likes it here a lot. I think he believes in his baseball skills, which we do, too. But it’s just one of those really tough decisions we have to make sometimes.” The 27-year-old Frazier, once a highly rated prospect, was given only 37 at-bats by the Cubs following his rocky tenure with the Yankees. Signed to a $1.5 million, one-year contract, he was batting .216 with three doubles, one RBI and a stolen base in 19 games. He missed more than a month because of an appendectomy. The Cubs has seven days to trade, release or send him outright to the minors if he clears waivers. SURGERY SETBACKS Tampa Bay reliever Andrew Kittredge and Detroit starter Casey Mize are both headed for Tommy John surgery. Kittredge, an All-Star last season, is the latest Rays reliever to be sidelined. He joined Nick Anderson, J.T. Chargois, Pete Fairbanks and J.P. Feyereisen as key late-inning options who are currently on the injured list. The 32-year-old righty had just returned five days ago from a 17-game absence due to lower back tightness. He has five saves in eight attempts and a 3.15 ERA in 17 games. Mize, the No. 1 pick in the June 2018 draft, has a 7-13 record with a 4.29 ERA in 39 big league appearances, all of them starts for the Tigers. The 25-year-old has been on the injured list with a right elbow sprain since April 15 after making two starts this season. OTTO A NO GO Rangers rookie Glenn Otto has been put on the COVID-19-related injured list, putting his run of successful starts on pause. The 26-year-old righty had been scheduled to pitch Friday night against the White Sox in Chicago. Otto is 4-2 with 4.24 ERA in eight starts. He has won his last three starts with a 2.25 ERA in the span. ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports	https://www.ktsm.com/sports/national-sports/leading-off-cubs-cut-frazier-kittredge-mize-to-tj-surgery/	2022-06-11T06:14:00	en	0.983677
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The Tampa Bay Lightning know what type of effort it will take to finish off the New York Rangers. The two-time defending champions are one win away from a third straight trip to the Stanley Cup Final, where they would continue their bid to become the first team in 40 years to win three consecutive NHL titles. The Rangers, down 3-2 to the Lightning in the Eastern Conference final, have been especially resilient this postseason. In addition to overcoming a 3-2 playoff series deficit to eliminate the Pittsburgh Penguins in the opening round, New York rebounded from losing the first two games to Carolina in the second round to oust the Hurricanes in seven games. Game 6 of the East final is Saturday night at Amalie Arena. The Lightning won Games 3 and 4 on home after dropping the first two on the road. “We’ve been down 3-2 every series so far, so we’re going to have to have a level of desperation,” Rangers forward Andrew Copp said. “The confidence of doing it before is bigger and better, having to do it again there’s belief in the room. … We’re playing pretty good, and it’s a really, really tight series,” Copp added. “We just got to make that extra play at the end of the game to be the difference.” Since being outscored 9-4 in the first two games at Madison Square Garden, Tampa Bay has won three straight to move to the brink of having a shot at the NHL’s first three-peat since the New York Islanders won four straight championships from 1980-83. Game 7, if necessary, will be Tuesday night in New York. The Lightning, who’ve won 10 consecutive series dating to the start of the 2020 postseason, aren’t taking anything for granted. “We obviously know the fourth one in the hardest one to win. Our mindset has got to be the same as the last three games,” veteran Lightning forward Pat Maroon said. “We know what’s at stake. We don’t take games off,” Tampa Bay’s Nick Paul added. “(New York) is a really good team. You take a night off, they’re going to take it over. … There’s no letting off the gas.” The Rangers are 5-0 this postseason when facing elimination. They’re 2-7 on the road in the playoffs, but did win Game 6 at Pittsburgh to even that series before prevailing in Game 7 at Carolina to reach the East final. “We don’t care when we win it, we just want to win it,” Lightning coach Jon Cooper said. “We have a great opportunity (Saturday night) to do that. … But just because it’s an elimination game, it doesn’t mean we are going to knock them out,” Cooper added. “If we don’t bring our best, it’ll be trouble for us because I know the Rangers will bring their best.” Rangers coach Gerard Gallant is counting it. “It’ll be a battle. They’re a good hockey team, that’s why they’re the Stanley Cup champs,” Gallant said. “We have to go in there, play our best game … win a game and give us a chance for a Game 7 back home.” FAN ATTACKED Madison Square Garden issued a statement on Twitter, saying two people — one of them a Lightning fan — were victims of an attack following Tampa Bay’s 3-2 victory in Game 4 on Thursday night. “Last night, an abhorrent assault took place against a Tampa Bay fan at the conclusion of the game — followed by a second assault against an individual who bravely intervened,” the statement, released on Twitter read. “First, we ensured the victims received appropriate medical care and have followed up to provide support from our guest services team,” the statement added. “Equally important, we are cooperating fully with law enforcement as this is now a criminal matter. The assailant will also be banned from the Garden and all other MSG venues for life.” ___ AP Sports Writer Vin A.

Baltimore Orioles CEO John Angelos was accused in a lawsuit this week of seizing control of the team at the expense of his brother Lou — and in defiance of their father Peter’s wishes. Peter Angelos became the Orioles’ owner in 1993, but his public role has diminished in recent years and he turns 93 next month. John Angelos is the club’s chairman and CEO, with Peter and Lou listed on the team’s website as part of its limited partnership group. In a lawsuit filed Thursday in Baltimore County Circuit Court, Lou Angelos said John has tried to take control of their father’s estate while excluding Lou. “In 2018, (Peter) Angelos became disabled,” the suit said. “Shortly thereafter, John embarked on a series of steps to arrogate to himself complete control over Mr. Angelos’ assets. He accomplished this by manipulating his mother, Mrs. Georgia Angelos, who is now eighty years old, thereby bending her to his will.” Lou Angelos is the plaintiff in the lawsuit. John and Georgia Angelos are defendants. According to the suit, Peter Angelos had surgery after his aortic valve failed in 2017. Around then, he executed a revocable trust and durable power of attorney. “A principle purpose of these documents was to ensure that Mr. Angelos’ sons worked together in support of their mother, shared decision-making and enjoyed equal rights of inheritance,” the suit said. “Mr. Angelos never intended that one son should wield control over his estate to the exclusion of his other son.” The suit accuses John Angelos of working to undermine Georgia Angelos’ confidence in Lou, and to exclude him from the Orioles’ business matters. “The corrupting effect of John’s actions has been to thoroughly frustrate Mr. Angelos’ intentions,” the suit said. “John intends to maintain absolute control over the Orioles — to manage, to sell or, if he chooses, to move to Tennessee (where he has a home and where his wife’s career is headquartered) — without having to answer to anyone.” The suit didn’t elaborate on whether there’s any significant likelihood of the team moving. It did claim Mrs. Angelos felt it was in the trust’s best interest to sell the team — but that John Angelos has attempted to prevent that. The lawsuit also claims that in 2019, John Angelos ordered former Orioles outfielder Brady Anderson fired as part of an effort to remove people who would oppose his actions. Anderson, who spent almost all of his 15-year playing career with Baltimore, had returned to the organization and become a vice president of baseball operations. The Orioles declined comment Friday when asked if the team or John Angelos had any response. ___ Follow Noah Trister at www.Twitter.com/noahtrister ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports	https://www.ktsm.com/sports/national-sports/orioles-ceo-sued-by-brother-over-control-of-team/	2022-06-11T06:14:12	en	0.981538
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Bryson Stott’s game-winning home run this week for the Phillies just may have been drivin’ on a prayer. The 8-year-old Phillies fan caught on camera with hands pressed together and Phillies rally cap turned inside out before Stott hit his three-run homer Sunday with two outs in the ninth inning couldn’t believe his silent plea was answered. “I wanted him to hit a home run,” said Caden Marge. Fitting, of course, Marge’s prayers for Stott came as he rooted against the Angels. Marge, his mom and dad, younger sister and several of his Little League teammates stood behind the batting cage Friday night and met Stott and teammates such as Kyle Schwarber before the Phillies played Arizona at Citizens Bank Park. “I want to get the Phillies to sign stuff,” Marge said. “The whole team. And we’re going to get them to sign my hat!” How about a bat? Stott, a 24-year-old rookie shortstop, autographed one his own bats, “To Caden. Thanks For The Help! Go Phils!” Joe Marge and his family, from West Chester, Pennsylvania, attended their first Phillies game of the year Sunday in section 203 out in right field when TV cameras caught Caden praying and seemingly in tears, willing Stott to go deep. Stott won the game after Bryce Harper tied it with a grand slam in the eighth, and the Phillies rallied for a 9-7 victory. “That’s just him being him. He lives and dies with every pitch, every score, any team,” Joe Marge said. The kid’s reaction blew up around Philadelphia and throughout baseball and was noticed by Stott. Stott first tweeted over a clip of the home run “The kid in the stands is unreal!!!” Joe Marge saw the tweet and reached out to the blossoming slugger with pop in his bat and power in prayer. Stott tweeted, “Awesome!! Send me a direct message and I’ll see if we can get you guys down to meet some of the guys during BP.” They all met up on Friday. The Marge family already had tickets — Caden’s Little League team is the Diamondbacks and they wanted to catch the big league team up close. The Phillies, though, invited everyone to watch from section 115 down the first base line. Caden’s favorite player before the big swing was Harper. Now, it’s a tie with Stott. The Marge family couldn’t believe their luck. “We’re seeing it everywhere,” Joe Marge said. “People are using his face for reactions.” Even better, the Phillies took a seven-game winning streak into the game — thanks in large part on a dinger and a prayer. ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports	https://www.ktsm.com/sports/national-sports/prayers-answered-phillies-fan-meets-stott-after-viral-video/	2022-06-11T06:14:18	en	0.970721
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate SAN DIEGO (AP) — Joe Musgrove took over the major league earned run average lead and remained unbeaten in 11 starts, striking out eight over six innings to lead the San Diego Padres over the Colorado Rockies 9-0 on Friday night. Musgrove (7-0) allowed four hits and two walks, dropping his ERA to 1.50 and taking over the lead from the Texas Rangers' Martín Pérez (1.56). Musgrove has allowed one run in his last 27 innings. "We talked about using the fastball more. Obviously I went out there and still threw breaking balls. I relied on the fastball more as the game went on," Musgrove said. “I feel like I am playing a different game than I ever have before, mentally more than anything.” San Diego is 10-1 when Musgrove starts, and his streak of 11 starts with six or more innings is the longest in team history “Joe Musgrove is probably the guy that you don’t want to face,” Padres manager Bob Melvin said. Colorado put runners on second and third in the fourth inning before Musgrove retired Randal Grichuk on a groundout. Craig Stammen, Tim Hill and Steven Wilson finished a five-hitter. San Diego's eight shutouts tied the New York Yankees for second in the major leagues, one behind the New York Mets. “Our offense is playing up a little bit knowing when I’m out there we only need a couple of runs and I am able to hold the game within reach,” Musgrove said. “They have done a really good job of getting me runs early in the game, letting me open up the arsenal.” Manny Machado hit his 10th homer on the ninth pitch of an at-bat against Chad Kuhl (4-3), Jake Cronenworth had a two-run double and Nomar Mazara had three hits as San Diego won for the sixth time in seven games. “My swing is probably the most consistent that it has been in my career,” Mazara said. The Padres have scored 29 runs in their last three games — five more than in any previous three-game stretch this season. "When you are able to put pressure throughout the lineup, you are able to put up nine runs sometimes," Melvin said. Colorado has lost six of eight and dropped to 9-17 on the road — the Rockies are 16-16 at mile high Coors Field. Colorado failed in its attempt to win consecutive games for the first time since May 4-5 against Washington. Kuhl gave up five runs, eight hits and a season-high five walks in 4 1/3 innings. Trent Grisham hit an RBI double in the second and scored on Austin Nola's single for a 2-0 lead. Machado homered in the third, and Cronenworth boosted the lead to five runs with his double in the fourth. Cronenworth has 16 RBIs in his last six games. "We are playing like we are capable of," Cronenworth said. TRAINER’S ROOM Padres: RHP Robert Suarez had arthroscopic surgery to remove bone chips in his right knee on June 9 and likely won't throw until early July. ... RF Wil Myers had an MRI on his right knee and the team expects him to avoid surgery and try four-to-six weeks of rehab. CANO TO MINORS 2B Robinson Canó, designated for assignment last week, agreed to a minor league contract and will report to Triple-A El Paso. Canó, a .301 career hitter and eight-time All-Star, hit .149 in 77 at-bats with the Padres. UP NEXT Rockies: RHP Ryan Feltner (1-2, 5.85) starts the opener of Saturday's doubleheader and LHP Kyle Freeland (1-5, 4.53) starts the second game. Padres: RHP Nick Martinez (2-3, 3.99) starts the day game after RHP Mike Clevinger (1-0, 3.18), the scheduled starter, was scratched after Friday's night's game. No reason was given by the Padres for the scratch. LHP MacKenzie Gore (4-1, 1.50) pitches the night game. ___ More AP MLB coverage: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports	https://www.expressnews.com/sports/article/Musgrove-1-50-takes-ERA-lead-Padres-beat-17234875.php	2022-06-11T06:14:23	en	0.972179
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — U.S. coach Gregg Berhalter did not have forward Christian Pulisic and midfielder Tyler Adams dress Friday night for a World Cup warmup against 170th-ranked Grenada in the CONCACAF Nations League, giving a pair of regulars the day off against a relatively weak opponent. The No. 15 U.S. made eight changes to the starting lineup from last weekend’s 0-0 exhibition draw against 13th-ranked Uruguay, keeping only defender Aaron Long, midfielder Weston McKennie and forward Jesús Ferreira. Matt Turner took over from Sean Johnson in goal, Reggie Cannon from DeAndre Yedlin at right back, Cameron Carter-Vickers from Walker Zimmerman at central defender, Antonee Robinson from Joe Scally at left back and Kellyn Acosta from Adams in defensive midfield. Luca de la Torre replaced Yunus Musah in midfield, and Paul Arriola and Jordan Morris were on the wings instead of Pulisic and Tim Weah. Defender Erik Palmer-Brown did not dress due to hamstring soreness. Long and Carter-Vickers — a son of former NBA player Howard Carter — became the 20th center back pairing since Berhalter was hired in December 2018. McKennie captained the U.S. for the third time. The U.S. has just three more warmups ahead of the World Cup — on Tuesday at 74th-ranked El Salvador in the Nations League, and exhibitions planned for Europe on Sept. 23 and 27 against Asian opponents not yet announced. At the World Cup in Qatar, the U.S. opens Group B against 18th-ranked Wales on Nov 21, plays No. 5 England four days later and close the first round against 21st-ranked Iran on Nov. 29. ___ More AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports	https://www.ktsm.com/sports/national-sports/pulisic-adams-dont-dress-for-us-against-grenada/	2022-06-11T06:14:24	en	0.946629
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Real Madrid and Barcelona will meet in an exhibition July 23 in Las Vegas in just the second edition of the El Clásico rivalry on U.S. soil. The Spanish superpowers will visit Allegiant Stadium, the 2-year-old home of the NFL’s Raiders just off the Las Vegas Strip, as part of a summer tour also featuring Juventus and Mexican powers Chivas and Club América across five U.S. cities. Barcelona and Juventus will meet at Dallas’ Cotton Bowl Stadium on July 26, while UEFA Champions League winners Real will face Juventus at the famed Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, on July 30. The three European giants are traveling to the U.S. as part of the inaugural Soccer Champions Tour formally launched Friday by sports entertainment conglomerate AEG. Juventus also will play Chivas in Las Vegas on July 22, while Madrid will face América at Oracle Park in San Francisco on July 26. Summer tours of the lucrative U.S. market for foreign teams are back in full force after a two-year slowdown due to the coronavirus pandemic. Most of the teams in the Soccer Champions Tour also have scheduled additional exhibitions, while Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich and Premier League champs Manchester City are among several other major European clubs playing in the U.S. next month. Barcelona and Madrid met on U.S. soil for the first time in the summer of 2017, and over 66,000 fans paid hefty ticket prices to pack Miami’s Hard Rock Stadium for Barca’s 3-2 victory. The archrivals hadn’t met outside Spain in 35 years before that exhibition as part of the International Champions Cup. Barcelona is also scheduled to face David Beckham’s Inter Miami MLS club on July 19 before wrapping up its summer tour against MLS’ New York Red Bulls on July 30. ___ More AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports	https://www.ktsm.com/sports/national-sports/real-madrid-barcelona-to-meet-in-las-vegas-during-us-tour/	2022-06-11T06:14:30	en	0.929998

BAKU, Azerbaijan (AP) — Former world champion Nico Rosberg has not been allowed to enter the Formula One paddock this season because he isn’t vaccinated against COVID-19. Rosberg has been working as a commentator and pundit on TV after he won the F1 title in 2016 with Mercedes and retired from racing shortly thereafter. Rules for this season issued by F1’s governing body, the FIA, require anyone entering the paddock, where the teams are based, to be fully vaccinated or hold a medical exemption. The rules apply to team members, journalists and other staff. “Nico Rosberg recovered from a coronavirus infection and currently holds a recovery certificate. He has his antibody levels tested regularly and, on the recommendation of his doctor, does not currently need any vaccinations,” Rosberg spokesperson Lena Siep said in e-mailed comments Friday. “In addition, he continues to comply with all necessary hygiene and precautionary measures. He respects F1’s rules and continues to fulfill his duties as a commentator for (British broadcaster Sky).” Rosberg has worked remotely on the coverage of F1 races this season, including reporting from the harbor in Monaco during the Grand Prix there last month. ___ More AP auto racing: https://apnews.com/hub/auto-racing and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports	https://www.ktsm.com/sports/national-sports/rosberg-barred-from-f1-paddock-over-vaccine-status/	2022-06-11T06:14:36	en	0.96876

ATLANTA (AP) — A move toward simplicity served Spencer Strider well in his first home start. The adjustment could help Strider keep his new-found place in the Atlanta Braves’ rotation. Strider outpitched Roansy Contreras in a matchup of hard-throwing rookies, Dansby Swanson had three hits, including a two-run homer, and the Braves beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-2 on Friday night for their ninth straight win. The winning streak is the National League’s longest this season. Houston and the New York Yankees have had 11-game streaks. The Pirates have lost four straight, matching their longest losing skid of the season. Strider (2-2) allowed only four hits with eight strikeouts and one walk in 5 2/3 scoreless innings. Strider, making his first home start and only his third overall, pitched into the sixth inning for the first time. “I definitely wanted to simplify things,” Strider said, adding he felt he made things too difficult for himself in his last start, when he lasted only 4 1/3 innings and received no decision in a 6-2 win at Colorado on Saturday. Strider said his plan was to “just focus on being in line to the plate.” He allowed only two hits through his first five innings. The 23-year-old Strider began the season as a reliever before moving into the No. 5 spot in the rotation. He gave credit to Swanson for giving him a confidence boost, as well as some pointers, following his start at Colorado. “He was just relaying to me that my stuff is good and he’s seeing it behind me,” Strider said, referring to Swanson’s view of his work from his shortstop position. “He can tell when I’m getting too complicated.” Strider’s growth has provided depth to a rotation following attempts to find a fifth starter behind Max Fried, Charlie Morton, Kyle Wright and Ian Anderson. “This is the next step in getting hi to where we want him to be,” said Braves manager Brian Snitker, adding it was “pretty good, awesome” for Strider to pitch into the sixth. Contreras (1-1) had seven strikeouts, including four in his first pass through the Braves’ lineup, in his fourth start. The 22-year-old right-hander from the Dominican Republic allowed four runs — three earned — and eight hits with one walk in 4 2/3 innings. Swanson’s third-inning homer off the left-field foul pole drove in rookie Michael Harris, who singled and stole second. Ronald Acuña Jr. reached on an infield hit and was caught stealing before Swanson’s homer. Ozzie Albies’ double to right field off Contreras in the fourth drove in Travis d’Arnaud, who singled and moved to second on left fielder Travis Swaggerty’s fielding error. Matt Olson added a run-scoring single in the fifth. Strider was pulled after giving up singles to Bryan Reynolds and Michael Chavis in the sixth. Dylan Lee struck out Cal Mitchell to end the inning. Atlanta’s winning streak is its longest since another nine-game run from Aug. 13-22, 2021. Atlanta led 4-0 before Chavis hit a ground-rule double off Jackson Stephens that bounced over the left-field to drive in Reynolds in the eighth. Cal Mitchell’s sacrifice fly drove in Daniel Vogelbach, cutting the Braves’ lead to two runs. Kenley Jansen recorded three straight outs in the ninth for his 17th save in 20 chances. STRIDER’S HEAT — AND ADJUSTMENTS Strider had 14 pitches clocked at 99 mph or higher for the third time this season. In his move from the bullpen, however, the right-hander has continued to place more emphasis on his slider and changeup. “He’s made some adjustments,” Snitker said, noting Strider’s increased reliance on his slider. “Very impressive.” FIRST-YEAR BUCS Including Contreras, the Pirates started five rookies. When asked about his lineup before the game, manager Derek Shelton smiled and said “we have three to five in there about every night.” Acuña made a leaping catch on the right-field warning track of a drive hit by Michael Perez in the seventh. TRAINER’S ROOM Pirates: RHP Tyle Beede remained in the game after being hit near his hip by a liner from Swanson in the seventh. Swanson reached on an infield hit on the play. Braves: Stephens stayed in after Reynolds’ grounder hit his right knee in the eighth. Reynolds reached on his second infield single of the game before scoring on the double by Chavis. … LHP Tyler Matzek (left shoulder inflammation) threw long toss in the outfield before the game for the first time since being placed on the 10-day injured list on May 17. The next step is for Matzek to be cleared to throw from a mound. UP NEXT Braves RHP Charlie Morton (4-3, 5.63) will make his first career start against Pittsburgh, where he pitched from 2009-15, when he faces RHP Zach Thompson (3-4, 4.60) as the four-game series continues Saturday. ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/MLB and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports	https://www.ktsm.com/sports/national-sports/strider-fans-8-braves-top-pirates-4-2-for-9th-straight-win/	2022-06-11T06:14:42	en	0.975893
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Brandon Nimmo and Mark Canha both had two hits and three RBIs as the New York Mets bounced back after two straight losses with a 7-3 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night. Every Mets starter had at least one hit as the NL East leaders had 13 in the game. It's the third time on this California road trip New York has had at least 13 hits. David Peterson (3-0), the second of six Mets pitchers, allowed one run in 2 2/3 innings of relief to get the win. Brandon Marsh had three hits, drove in three runs and had the first multi-homer game of his career. The Angels snapped a franchise-record 14-game losing streak Thursday, but haven't won two straight since May 24. Mike Trout missed his third straight game due to right groin tightness. Nimmo, who was 3 for 24 during the first seven games of the road trip, homered for the first time since April 25 when his solo shot over the wall in right-center extended the lead to 4-2 in the fourth inning. The center fielder then added a two-run double down the left-field line in the sixth to put New York up by four. Canha continued his hot hitting with a two-run, bases-loaded double in the second inning to chase Angels starter Jhonathan Diaz (1-1) and an RBI single in the sixth. Canha is 20 for 61 with nine RBIs in his last 16 games to raise his season batting average to .300, which is ninth in the NL. Diaz appeared as if he might get out of the inning after base hits put runners at first and third with no outs, but shortstop Andrew Velazquez was unable to make a play with two outs on a hard-hit grounder by Tomás Nido to drive in Jeff McNeil. Canha's double two batters later ended the lefty's night. The Angels responded with two runs in the bottom of the inning. Jared Walsh led off with a single before Marsh crushed Tylor Megill's sinker into the stands in right-center. The 449-foot homer is the longest ball hit at Angel Stadium this season. Marsh then connected for a solo shot just over the short wall in right field in the sixth to bring the Angels within 7-3. It was the fourth time this season Marsh has had a three-hit game. FOR STARTERS Megill went 3 1/3 innings in his first start since May 11 due to right biceps inflammation. The Long Beach native allowed two runs on five hits and struck out four. Diaz was called up for the fourth time this season and was making his third start. The right-hander allowed three runs and five hits in 1 2/3 innings. TRAINER'S ROOM Mets: 1B Pete Alonso returned to the lineup and went 1 for 5. He missed Wednesday's game after being hit by a pitch in the right hand Tuesday in San Diego. ... CF Starling Marte (quad tightness) did some running before batting practice, but missed his second straight game. ... RHP Stephen Nogosek was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse to open up a roster spot for Megill. Angels: 3B Anthony Rendon was activated from the injured list after missing 12 games due to right wrist inflammation. He went 0 for 3 with a walk. ... INF Jack Mayfield and OF Dillon Thomas were optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake to make room for Rendon and Diaz. UP NEXT Mets: RHP Carlos Carrasco (7-1, 3.52 ERA) has won his last four starts and struck out a season-high 10 in his last outing Monday in San Diego. Angels: RHP Michael Lorenzen (5-3, 3.69 ERA) has given up eight runs in 12 1/3 innings in his last two starts. It also marks the debut of the Angels wearing their City Connect uniforms. ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports	https://www.expressnews.com/sports/article/Nimmo-Canha-each-drive-in-3-runs-as-Mets-defeat-17234869.php	2022-06-11T06:14:48	en	0.979286
CHICAGO (AP) — A day after ordering a two-strike intentional walk that backfired, Chicago White Sox manager Tony La Russa said he’d do it all over again. In the sixth inning of Thursday’s 11-9 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers, La Russa walked right-handed hitting speedster Trea Turner with a 1-2 count. Left-handed hitting Max Muncy followed with a three-run homer off lefty Bennett Sousa that opened the Los Angeles lead to 10-5. Muncy had five RBIs in his return after missing 11 games with left elbow inflammation. He entered hitting .150 to Turner’s .303. Before Friday’s home game against Texas, the 77-year-old La Russa referred to a line he said was passed on to him by former White Sox and Baltimore manager Paul Richards. “Trust your gut. Don’t cover your butt,” La Russa said. Freddie Freeman was at second in the sixth on Thursday after Sousa bounced an 0-2 slider for a wild pitch. With first-base open, La Russa ordered the intentional walk to Turner, whom he believed represented a bigger threat. “Pssssh, 24 hours later, I’m even more surprised,” La Russa said of the reaction. “That’s not even a close call. I mean do you know what Muncy was hitting from the left-hand side this season? .125.” The move was all about Turner, who had already driven in a run when he legged out an infield single. “Turner is a tough hitter with no strikes, one strike, two strikes,” La Russa said. “He shortens up and he’s got all kinds of ways to put the ball in play and hurt you. “Now, if it had been a right-handed pitcher, yeah, I probably would have tried to make a pitch.” Turner said he was astonished when he was sent to first. Muncy admitted he was riled, then lofted a 2-2 pitch from Sousa just over the left-center wall for his fourth homer. “Since then, somebody sent me some stats about what Turner hits with 1-2 counts,” La Russa said. “He’s like the third- or fourth-best hitter in baseball over the past three years. I mean, we all know that.” ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports	https://www.ktsm.com/sports/national-sports/tony-la-russa-says-hed-order-walk-to-turner-again/	2022-06-11T06:14:48	en	0.970944
BOSTON (AP) — For three quarters, the Boston Celtics responded to nearly every punch the Golden State Warriors threw at them. But mistakes and an inability to beat back one final charge by Golden State in the fourth quarter cost the Celtics in a 107-97 loss in Game 4 of the NBA Finals. Now, with the series tied, they find themselves in a best-of-three series with Game 5 set for Monday night at Golden State. The team which has made resiliency their calling card in must-win situations, will now have to do it one more time if it hopes to win the franchise’s 18th championship. Jayson Tatum was disappointed in his performance, though he finished with 23 points, 11 rebounds and six assists. But Tatum didn’t shoot the ball well — he just 8 of 23 from the field — and didn’t take of it; he had six of Boston’s 16 turnovers that led to 19 Golden State points. Boston has shown 16 is a number more often than not leads to defeat. The Celtics are now 1-6 this postseason when committing 16 or more turnovers. When they commit 15 or fewer, they are 13-2. “It’s on me. I got to be better,” Tatum said. “I know I’m impacting the game in other ways, but I got to be more efficient, shoot the ball better, finish at the rim better.” Marcus Smart said the Celtics didn’t play well at crunch time. “We just didn’t execute late down the stretch,” said Smart, who scored 18 points. “They went on a run early on in the third. We sustained it, made a run of our own. After that we just couldn’t execute.” The setback overshadowed a big night by Boston big man Robert Williams, who had seven points, 12 rebounds, four assists and two blocks before being forced to the bench as he appeared to hobble on his surgically repaired left knee. He sat the final 3:41 of the game, but coach Ime Udoka said he didn’t notice anything wrong with Williams and hadn’t been informed of any issue. Williams has been listed as day-to-day throughout the playoffs and how much he’ll be able to play in Game 5 will be a concern. The Celtics seemed to be in control of Game 4 and destined to a commanding lead in the series, hitting 15 3-pointers and responding to several scoring runs by the Warriors. Things changed in the fourth as Boston’s turnovers continued to mount. Then when they couldn’t score late it the game, its fate was sealed. The Celtics took a 94-90 lead with 5:18 left in the fourth before missing their next six shots. Golden State took advantage, scoring 10 straight points and never trailed again. Boston was outscored 28-19 over the final 12 minutes. Udoka said his team got caught ball watching at times and it had an effect on how the ball moved in the half court. “We had plenty of opportunities, obviously. Every time we got a five-, six-point lead, it felt like we made some poor decisions,” Udoka said. “Whether it was rushed shots in traffic or … standing around and looking at each other a little bit there.” If there is a solace for the Celtics, it’s that they are 7-0 this postseason following a loss. “There’s certain things we got to clean up. … Would we have liked to have won today and be up 3-1? That would have been best-case scenario,” Tatum said. “But it’s the Finals. The art of competition, they came here feeling like they had to win. It wasn’t easy. I think that’s kind of the beauty of it, that it’s not going to be easy. It shouldn’t be.” ___ More AP NBA: https://apnews.com/hub/NBA and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports	https://www.ktsm.com/sports/national-sports/turnovers-doom-celtics-once-again-lose-game-4-of-nba-finals/	2022-06-11T06:14:54	en	0.97982
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Darin Ruf hit two homers and drove in four runs, Joc Pederson added two hits and two RBIs, and Jakob Junis won his third straight decision as the San Francisco Giants beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-2 Friday night. Junis (4-1) worked five innings and yielded two runs and five hits, including Gavin Lux’s fifth-inning homer, before leaving with a strained hamstring. The Lux homer pulled the Dodgers within 3-2 before the Giants scored three runs in their half of the fifth inning to pull away. With Curt Casali on first base and one out, pinch-hitter Austin Slater hit a comebacker to Dodgers reliever Justin Bruhl, who slipped as he fielded the ball. That caused Bruhl to throw wildly past first as Casali and Slater advanced to third and second. One out later, Pederson singled home two runs and Ruf stroked an RBI single. Dodgers starter Walker Buehler (6-3) lost for just the second time in his career in nine decisions against the Giants. He allowed three runs and four hits in four innings before leaving the game with discomfort in his elbow. Pederson opened the scoring by leading off the second with a single, stealing second and scoring on Evan Longoria’s double. Longoria scored on Brandon Crawford’s single. Ruf hit his fourth homer of the season with one out in the fourth, and added his fifth homer with one out in the eighth off David Price. PRIDE DAY Longtime rivals on the diamond, the Dodgers and Giants will join forces in pregame ceremonies Saturday at Oracle Park to observe Pride Day, a celebration of diversity. "We’re looking forward to it and partnering with the Dodgers on this, really coming together and emphasizing that it’s not enough to reluctantly accept any community,” Giants manager Gabe Kapler said. “It’s really important that everybody feels welcome and wanted and appreciated. That is absolutely true for the LGTBQ+ communities.” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts cited the “awareness” and “inclusiveness” that the event promotes. “I think that two great organizations coming together to use our platform is a positive thing,” he said. TRAINER’S ROOM Dodgers: Roberts said that left-hander Andrew Heaney (shoulder) will be expected to work at least five innings next Tuesday when he makes third injury rehabilitation start. Roberts said that due to logistics, Heaney will pitch not for Triple-A Oklahoma City, but instead for Double-A Tulsa against Wichita. Heaney continued to progress on Thursday, allowing two hits and walking none while striking out five in 4 1/3 scoreless innings for Oklahoma City against Sugar Land. Giants: Outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr. (left knee) felt tightness in his left hamstring while performing baserunning drills, prompting the Giants to back off on his possible return. “I don’t think we’re at the stage where we have to consider this a real setback,” Giants manager Gabe Kapler said, “but we’re going to get through the weekend before we decide what’s next.” Kapler said that the Giants’ medical staff prefers to consider Wade’s injury “separate” from his knee. “But everything’s always connected,” Kapler added. Wade, one of San Francisco’s leading hitters with 18 homers last year, has appeared in 10 of 57 games ... Second baseman Tommy La Stella reported back tightness, prompting the Giants to scratch him from the lineup ... Though Anthony DeSclafani (right ankle) is expected to make an injury rehabilitation start sometime this weekend, Kapler refused to speculate on when the right-hander would rejoin the rotation. DeSclafani, 13-7 with a 3.17 ERA and two shutouts last year, is 0-1 with a 6.08 ERA in three starts this season. UP NEXT Dodgers: In a shuffling of the rotation, left-hander Clayton Kershaw (4-0, 1.80 ERA in five starts) will start Saturday against San Francisco.

PHOENIX (AP) — Diana Taurasi had 23 points and six assists, Tina Charles scored 20 with nine rebounds and the Phoenix Mercury held off the Atlanta Dream 90-88 on Friday night.

Cheyenne Parker finished with 20 points and 13 rebounds, while Aari McDonald scored 13.

The Dream battled back, using five straight points by Parker to pull within 89-88 with 9.9 seconds left. Atlanta had the ball last after Taurasi missed the second of two free throws, but Parker and AD Durr couldn't get shots to drop. ___ More AP women’s basketball: https://apnews.com/hub/womens-basketball and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports	https://www.expressnews.com/sports/article/Taurasi-Charles-help-Mercury-edge-Dream-90-88-17234867.php	2022-06-11T06:15:38	en	0.941879

NEW YORK — The New York attorney general's lawsuit against the National Rifle Association is no mere "witch hunt," a New York judge ruled Friday in dismissing the gun rights advocacy group's claims that the case is a political vendetta. Manhattan Judge Joel M. Cohen's decision means the nearly 2-year-long legal fight can continue. The ruling comes after mass shootings last month in New York and Texas reanimated debate over U.S. gun policy and refocused attention on the NRA. The New York case began when James, a Democrat, filed a lawsuit that accused some top NRA executives of financial improprieties and sought to dissolve the group. The attorney general's job includes oversight of nonprofit organizations incorporated in the New York, where the NRA was chartered in 1871. In March, Cohen rebuffed James' bid to shutter the NRA. But the judge let the case go on, with the potential for fines or other remedies if the attorney general prevails. The NRA accused James in a court filing last year of waging "a blatant and malicious retaliation campaign" because of its views. The group sought to halt the lawsuit. Cohen rejected those arguments. "The narrative that the attorney general's investigation into these undeniably serious matters was nothing more than a politically motivated — and unconstitutional — witch hunt is simply not supported by the record," he wrote, noting that the probe was sparked by reports of misconduct and "uncovered additional evidence." James applauded the decision, saying it confirms the suit's "legitimacy and viability." "Our fight for transparency and accountability will continue," she said in a statement. NRA lawyer William A. Brewer III said the group was disappointed but would keep fighting the case and still believes it was unfairly targeted. "The NRA believes the NYAG's pursuit was fueled by her opposition to the association and its First Amendment activities in support of the Second Amendment," he said in a statement, using an abbreviation for the attorney general's title. In the wake of the recent shootings in Buffalo, New York, and Uvalde, Texas, Congress is under renewed pressure to respond after years of partisan logjams over gun legislation. The House has passed bills that would raise the age limit to buy semiautomatic weapons and establish federal "red flag" laws, which allow for taking guns from people at extreme risk of harming themselves or others. Such initiatives traditionally have faltered in the Senate. Democratic and Republican senators have been talking about a framework for addressing the issue, but no agreement has been announced. The NRA — a longtime political force that has lost some influence amid financial scandals in recent years — has long insisted that mass shootings are no reason to limit access to guns, arguing that the solution instead is for law-abiding people to have firearms to defend themselves and others. The message was echoed at the group's convention in Houston last month, days after a gunman killed 19 children and two teachers in Uvalde. Rallies calling for significant changes to gun laws are planned in Washington and around the country this weekend and are expected to draw tens of thousands of people. Meanwhile, the Supreme Court also is caught up in the national tug of war over the place of guns in America. The justices are expected soon to issue their most consequential gun ruling in more than a decade, potentially making it easier to be armed on the streets of New York and other large cities.

(CNN)Los Angeles Chargers owner and chairman Dean Spanos is being sued by his sister and team co-owner Dea Spanos Berberian, who's accusing him of "misogynistic" behavior and repeated "breaches of fiduciary duty" in his role as controlling owner of the NFL franchise. Berberian seeks sole control of the family trust that owns the largest share of the franchise, according to a petition filed in San Joaquin County Superior Court. Following the deaths of their parents in 2018, Spanos and Berberian were named co-trustees of the trust, which holds a 36% ownership stake in the team, court filings show. Spanos, Berberian and their two other siblings -- team vice chairman Michael Spanos and Alexis Spanos Ruhl -- each individually own 15% of the Chargers. The four siblings are equal beneficiaries of the family trust, according to court documents. The remaining 4% of the franchise is owned by other parties outside of the Spanos family. In her lawsuit, Berberian alleges that Dean Spanos and brother Michael have acted against their parents' wishes "out of their deeply-held misogynistic attitudes and sense of entitlement as the men in the family" in order to "teach her that a woman has no rights." She also accuses her brothers of fiduciary mismanagement that has left the Spanos family trust with more than $358 million of debt as of the end of 2021, the lawsuit shows. Berberian points to one instance where she said financials were manipulated to borrow more than $60 million for the "wasteful purchase of an airplane for Dean's and Michael's use that has no legitimate business justification," according to the lawsuit. Berberian argues that her brothers have "pursued a campaign to punish, belittle and humiliate" her in retaliation for speaking against their management of the family trust. Her lawsuit claims that Dean and Michael Spanos "believe to their cores that, regardless of what their parents intended and their wills specified, men are in charge and women should shut up." Dean and Michael Spanos along with their sister Ruhl released a joint statement Friday, denouncing the actions of Berberian. "It is unfortunate that our sister Dea, who clearly has no interest in continuing to participate in the family's businesses, has resorted to leveling false and provocative charges in an attempt to impose her will on the rest of the family," they say in the statement. "The three of us and our children, representing more than 75% of the family and its ownership of its businesses, stand united in support of our parents' and grandparents' wishes, including as to the continued ownership and operation of the Chargers." In a separate statement, Ruhl said her brother Dean has been "unfailingly respectful of me and of my wishes." "To characterize Dean as somehow being less than fully respectful of the women in our family is just not right," Ruhl continued. Last year, Berberian filed a lawsuit attempting to force the sale of the family trust, including its stake in the Chargers franchise. The NFL intervened and asked to arbitrate the matter since it was a dispute among NFL owners, a source familiar with the case told CNN. Berberian agreed this week to allow the NFL to arbitrate that matter, according to the source. The NFL declined to comment on the situation.	https://www.cnn.com/2022/06/11/sport/los-angeles-chargers-owner-sued-spanos-family-nfl-spt/index.html	2022-06-11T06:21:24	en	0.983563

Marketers now have almost 10,000 marketing technology tools to choose from, according to the latest marketing technology landscape from chiefmartec.com and MartechTribe. In fact, despite consolidation in the martech industry, the 9,932 solutions charted represent a 24% increase from 2020, the last time the analysis was conducted. Although growth in the number of available solutions has slowed somewhat in recent years, the decade-plus history of the landscape reveals incredible growth, from only 150 tools in 2011. While it seemed at one point as though we may have reached “peak martech” prior to the pandemic – and that the pandemic might stunt any further growth – that has certainly not proven to be the case. Not only have more solutions been introduced, but demand also grew, as marketers experimented with new technologies and features. And last year, marketers spent more on technology than on any other resource class, be it labor, agencies/services, or paid media. In an accompanying State of Martech 2022 report [pdf], the authors note that every category of martech grew between 2020 and 2022. The fastest growth was recorded for Management tools, up 67% from 601 to 1,001. This, as the authors note, is likely due to changes in work habits and greater adoption of remote work during the pandemic. The Content & Experience category also saw strong growth, of 34%. It’s the most populous category tracked, with 2,592 solutions. Its rise is not too surprising, given the increased demand for content during the pandemic (for both B2C and B2B), along with the continued focus on customer experience. Another fast-growing category of martech solutions is the Commerce & Sales category, with the number of tools in this area increasing over the past 2 years by 24%, to 1,623. Again, it’s understandable why this would grow as consumers shop more online and B2B marketers increasingly shift to virtual selling. For more on the world of marketing technology, read The State of Martech 2022 here [pdf] and check out our past articles on marketing technology here.	https://www.marketingcharts.com/customer-centric/analytics-automated-and-martech-225960	2022-06-11T06:23:23	en	0.95224
Streaming video viewing continues to be a widespread activity, buoyed by an ever-expanding array of content to choose from and increasing penetration of viewing devices. In fact, as new data from Comscore reveals, the number of US households watching OTT content on connected TV (CTV) devices has risen yet again. Comscore’s data indicates that 133.35 million US households watched OTT content on a CTV device in February, representing an 11% increase from the year-earlier period (120.32 million in February 2021). An increase in penetration was observed across viewing devices, but was most prominent for smart TVs, for which growth in viewing time has been witnessed the world over. Within the US almost 50 million (49.86 million) households watched OTT content on a smart TV in February, a 17% increase from 42.57 million in the year-earlier period. That compares with a 5% increase in households watching via a streaming box/stick (to 58.8 million) and a 4% increase in those watching on gaming consoles (to 16.76 million). In terms of penetration, that puts smart TVs in 59% of OTT homes as of February 2022, up from 55% a year earlier. Although streaming boxes and sticks are in more homes, individually no other device can match smart TVs’ penetration level, with Amazon Fire TV (30%) and Roku (28%) in about half as many OTT homes. Smart TVs are also leading the charge when it comes to viewing time. Total OTT viewing hours grew by 23% year-over-year to 9.4 billion in February, but viewing time on smart TVs outpaced that level of growth, up 31% to 3.8 billion. By comparison, viewing time on streaming boxes and sticks rose by 18% to 4.7 billion, while on gaming consoles there was a modest decrease of 2% (to 604.1 million). This trend has caught the eye of brands, with the analysts noting that Amazon and Comcast already have introduced their own lines of smart TVs. As of February Samsung maintained the largest share of smart TVs by OEM (26%), though its share has shrunk from 31% in February 2021 and 33% in February 2020 as competition has heated up. Comscore indicates that “CTV has become a mainstream media behavior in the U.S.,” and that viewing hours remain above pre-pandemic levels even as restrictions have lifted. This creates a new opportunity for marketers, who are pouring more of their digital ad dollars into CTV, driven not only by the aforementioned trends but also in part by cookie deprecation.

LAFAYETTE, La. (AP) — “Leave your message after the beep” has taken on a whole new meaning for Lafayette resident Shayla Lange, whose new business Ring-A-Ding Ding Audio Guestbook transforms the banal communication method of voicemail into an opportunity for fun, sentimental keepsakes for major life events. Ring-A-Ding Ding Audio Guestbook, which launched in mid-May, will give brides and grooms an alternative to the traditional paper guestbook for their wedding. When guests arrive, they’ll be met with a vintage-style rotary phone engineered to act as a standalone recording device. Guests will pick up the phone, hear a personalized voicemail message and then have the option to leave the happy couple words of wisdom, well wishes, comical quips or stories of favorite memories throughout the night, Lange said. Clients have several package options for the rental based around the number of hours they’d like the phone available. Ring-A-Ding Ding’s service comes with delivery, set up and pickup of the phone, with Lange aiming to turn around the voicemails within 48 hours of the event for delivery to the client. The messages can be delivered via the cloud, on a custom USB drive or pressed into a vinyl record, she said. “I capture that moment for you. Whoever listens to it is transported back into that moment and it feels like you’re there again. Imagine being 70 years old and you pull out your audio guestbook and you’re listening to it with your husband. It’s something like a time capsule with voices,” Lange said. While the audio guestbook concept has been a growing trend in the bridal market, driven partly by brides sharing the product on social media, Lange said she sees a range of events her service could be used for, including baby showers, birthdays, retirement parties and milestone anniversary gatherings. This isn’t Lange’s first time launching a business. Since graduating from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette with a degree in mass communications in 2019, Lange has started her own marketing firm, now a partnership firm called The Social Mavens, and a luxury picnic business called The Picnic Chick. The 27-year-old’s businesses are now profitable enough that she was able to leave her full-time job as a marketing and sales associate to focus solely on operating and growing them. Lange said she cherishes being self-employed because it gives her freedom to embrace her creativity and act quickly when a new idea develops that she thinks could stand out in the local business landscape. “I think I like that it’s a little bit of an adventure. There’s adrenaline, and a feeling of what’s going to happen next and who can I serve next,” Lange said. The entrepreneur said she’s already developed a growth plan for Ring-A-Ding Ding and is hopeful that if demand meets expectations she’ll be able to acquire a second phone in a new color within the first few months of operation to serve more clients. Lange came across the audio guestbook concept while scouring TikTok for new ideas for the entertainment side of The Picnic Chick. She was immediately intrigued, drawn in by the fresh concept and interactive opportunity the phone can bring to events, but also by the sentimental quality of the product. “I think a voice is so precious. You can’t replace that,” Lange said. Rhonda Lange, Shayla’s mother, said she and her daughter love the concept because they know firsthand what it’s like to wish for a keepsake of a loved one after their death. In 2013, Shayla’s godmother Chantell Autin, a cousin of Rhonda’s, passed away. The women had no videos or clips of her voice preserved; after digging online, Shayla managed to find an old clip of Autin on YouTube that she plays when she wants to feel close to her, her mother said. “The person that sparked her interest for party planning and things like that, her nanny, has passed on…She has grandbabies that she never got to meet. How nice would it be for them to hear her voice and know the warmth of her voice?” Rhonda Lange said. With the routine threat of hurricanes and the need for evacuation in southern Louisiana, Rhonda Lange said there’s also something comforting about the voicemails being stored in the cloud, safely away from the ravages of flood waters. The New Orleans-area native said her family lost many photos and keepsakes during Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Rhonda Lange raised Shayla as a single mother with help from Shayla’s grandparents and said she’s proud to see the independent, educated and go-getting young woman she’s become. Rhonda Lange said she makes a point to encourage her daughter’s endeavors 100%. Even if she’s initially skeptical that the concept will take off, she said she knows Shayla has the vision and drive to make it happen. As transplants to the region, Rhonda Lange said she’s touched to see how the community has embraced her daughter’s businesses. “I’m glad she’s starting in Lafayette because she believes in the community here. We’re not from here. She attended UL and after she graduated I said to move home and she said no, I love the community and camaraderie here and I want to stay here and grow my businesses,” Rhonda Lange said.	https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Lafayette-woman-brings-audio-guestbook-trend-to-17234860.php	2022-06-11T06:24:58	en	0.962298
NEW ALBANY, Miss. (AP) — Back in March, Niki Treadaway sent letters to businesses and churches asking if they’d be interested in donating items for a resident garden at the New Albany Health and Rehab Center. “We do a resident counsel session each month, and we’re always open to suggestions,” said Treadaway, the activities director at the center. “After the COVID lockdown, we were just ready to get outside. I’ve been here since 2016, and to my knowledge, we’d never had a garden.” As if by magic, items began showing up at the center. “People would come and randomly leave stuff,” Treadaway said. “We’d come out in the morning, and there would be plants, flowers, pots, bags of soil, wind chimes. That’s what’s been so amazing about it.” Volunteer Chuck Hill built the six raised-garden beds, and Sherwin-Williams donated the stain for them. New Albany businesses like Walton’s Greenhouse, Lowe’s and Glenfield Market offered up soil and plants. Salem United Methodist Church, Moss Hill Baptist Church and Fredonia Baptist Church all donated items like flowers, plants and soil. Friendship United Methodist Church even sent teen volunteers to work in the garden. Individuals helped, too. Mary Dunahue was instrumental in spearheading the project, and the Stroud and Parker families donated soil and tomatoes. “We had so much stuff left overnight,” Treadaway said. “We don’t know who left it, but it doesn’t go unnoticed.” Every day, about a dozen residents at New Albany Health and Rehab, dubbed the NAHR Garden Club, work in the garden or just go out and enjoy it. “All they need is someone to help them out the door, and they can come out here and do whatever they like,” Treadaway said. Pattie Jones, who lives at NAHR, said she watched other residents plant the garden. “It brings back good memories for me, especially the flowers,” Jones said. “My mother loved flowers.” Some of the raised beds are filled with flowers like impatiens, coleus, begonias, salvia and marigolds. “I like working in all of it,” said resident Martha White. “There’s nothing I like to do better. I was raised on a farm out in the country and grew up gardening.” Other beds and large pots in the garden area are planted with tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, carrots, chives, basil and cilantro. “Willie Conner, who’s a resident – he’s been our arms out here,” Treadaway said. “He planted the cucumbers, tomatoes and bell peppers.” Resident Carl Smith is a man of few words, but has a wealth of gardening knowledge. “He doesn’t talk much, but he sure lets you know when you’re getting it wrong,” Treadaway said. While the residents enjoy the colorful flowers, it’s the vegetables they’re most looking forward to. “If we’re going to work it, we’re going to eat it,” said Joyce Cates. “I was 10 years old when my parents put me in the garden. I can’t wait until our tomatoes come in.” Treadaway said she has big plans for the garden to grow so residents can enjoy other facets of the outdoors. “By next year, we’d like to add a raised goldfish pond,” she said. “Our goal is to keep adding to this project as we go.”	https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/New-Albany-community-donates-items-for-rehab-17234857.php	2022-06-11T06:25:04	en	0.960842
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — Slainte is a Gaelic term for “To Your Health” or “Cheers.” It’s also the name of a special, three-week Morningside University May Term class on whiskey appreciation taught by philosophy and humanities professor Brandon Boesch. Wait, students can get college credit by learning all about brown liquor? Yes, and the class -- which is meant for scholars age 21 and over -- is actually quite advanced. “We explore how whiskey is made as well as the history behind different types of whiskeys from around the world,” Boesch told the Sioux City Journal. So, how did a philosophy professor end up teaching a class on whiskey? “May Term classes are meant to take professor out of their comfort zones and allow students to explore something new and different,” Boesch said. “From a philosophical level, alcohol was something consumed socially. It puts people in a relaxed mood.” However, student Morgan Nixon wasn’t feeling relaxed while making a mint julep cocktail in class. “I don’t know if we’re doing this correctly,” she said, crushing pieces of mint and granulated sugar into a red Solo cup containing bourbon. “Is this how you muddle something?” “Muddling is just another word for mussing things together,” classmate Maggie Barton noted. “We’re doing it right.” Apparently, the girls’ concoction tasted OK to computer science student J.R. Albers. “This is the type of cocktail that can get you into trouble because you can’t taste much alcohol,” he said. “I imagine a mint julep would be perfect when you’re watching the Kentucky Derby.” “It tastes more tropical to me,” biology student Micki Twedell suggested. “This is something you can drink while relaxing on a beach.” Albers said he wanted to learn more about whiskey after being introduced to the world of cocktails by his grandfather. On the other hand, Twedell wanted to test out her drink-making acumen on her brother, a professional bartender in Sioux Falls. “Actually, I think my brother is a much better bartender than me,” Twedell said after spilling a bit of bourbon while shaking a whiskey sour in a cocktail shaker. “This is harder than it looks.” In case you were wondering, a whiskey sour is made with bourbon, simple syrup, lemon juice and a few bitters. What it does not contain is any trace of apple, which is something that student Rylee Olson refused to believe. “I definitely smell apple,” she said, sniffing the aroma. “Or maybe, it smell like apple pie.” “You’re crazy, it smells like lemonade,” her friend Holly Severance said. “And it tastes like a very frothy lemonade.” According to Boesch, the froth comes from the incorporation of egg whites. “Some people get squeamish at the thought of an uncooked egg,” he said. “Still, it gives a whiskey sour some nice texture.” When the May Term started, Albers said he had very little knowledge of the world of whiskey. “I didn’t know what to look for in a good whiskey or any of the history,” he said. “This class has really opened my eyes on the subject.”	https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Whiskey-is-surprising-topic-of-Morningside-17222189.php	2022-06-11T06:25:10	en	0.964571
VILLE PLATTE, La. (AP) — Lauren Vallet was struggling to figure out what to get her boyfriend’s family for Christmas. She didn’t want to give his mom and grandmother something that could end up in the back of a closet. She wanted a gift with meaning. With a little Pinterest inspiration and YouTube instruction, the 23-year-old decided to hand make their Christmas presents — custom rosaries of wire, glass beads and delicate metal crosses. Vallet customized the gifts, using letter beads to spell out their names. She had leftover material so she made her mom one. They were a big hit. “I made everybody cry for Christmas,” Vallet recalled. It wasn’t just her friends and family who liked them though. Requests poured in after photos made their way to Facebook. It was Christmas break of her senior year at Louisiana State University, and Vallet had time to fill the orders, many of them coming from her hometown of Ville Platte and the surrounding area. She enjoyed the process, having always been into crafting, so she kept going and started her business — Rosaries by Lauren. “Then it was just when I wasn’t studying or working I was making them,” Vallet said. “It got a little hard during finals, but we made it work.” The last few months included not only finals but also Easter, Mother’s Day, graduations and end-of-year recitals, all of which meant a lot of orders. She makes about eight to 10 a week, she said, and each takes about 30-to-45 minutes to complete. But she loves every minute. “It makes me happy that people were giving people something they will pass down,” she said. Vallet said she's also received orders for brides, high school senior nights, first communion, birthdays and just about any other special occasion. “I can tweak it to each person’s personality or interests,” she said. “I feel like it makes you as a kid more excited when you know this was specially picked out for me or specially made for me. It has my name on it or the beads are my favorite color or sport.” Vallet has made rosaries with names, beads painted like softballs, charms in the shape of ballet slippers or medical symbols. The latter was inspired by her grandmother, a nurse who keeps a rosary in her pocket all day at work. One she made for herself features a cameo at the center, giving it an antique look that aligns with her personal style. But she tends to like all of her creations. “I want to keep them all,” she said. “It’s hard to let them go.” It took some time and trial and error to figure it all out. She used different techniques and materials, making adjustments when one type of wire was too stiff to stay in a pocket, for example. “Now I think I have it down to a science,” Vallet said. The making process has been one of faith as well, as she is creating items central to the Catholic faith practice. “It has brought me closer to my faith,” she said. “I like making the rosaries, and it helps me remember that we have to pray the rosary and have to follow our faith. And I like that I’m helping others practice their faith.” Vallet graduated May 21 with her bachelor’s from LSU. She studied sociology with a minor in psychology, and now she looks ahead to graduate occupational therapy school. In the meantime, she’ll be working full-time at a pediatric therapy center in Baton Rouge and running her business on the side. In addition to rosaries, she’s begun making larger blessing beads with crosses, which can be displayed within a home. She can use wooden beads or work with recycled African glass to make them. Vallet takes orders through Facebook, and she has inventory for sale at Blake’s Gifts in Ville Platte. Most come from Acadiana, including some from her alma mater Sacred Heart High School in Evangeline Parish, but she’s shipped all the way to California.	https://www.myjournalcourier.com/news/article/Woman-hand-makes-custom-rosaries-for-daily-prayer-17234859.php	2022-06-11T06:25:17	en	0.985605

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Catcher Troy Claunch singled with two outs and the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning and No. 5 overall seed Texas A&M stranded 17 runners on base before posting a 5-4 victory over No. 12 seed Louisville in the first round of the College Station Super Regional on Friday night. Texas A&M (41-18) and Louisville (42-20-1) will play again Saturday. A win by the Aggies would send them to the College World Series for a seventh time. A win by the Cardinals, aiming for their sixth CWS appearance, would force a winner-take-all game on Sunday. Claunch gave Texas A&M a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first when he was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded and two outs. The Cardinals got a two-run single from Logan Beard and a sacrifice fly from Ben Bianco in the top of the second to grab a 3-1 lead. Brett Minnich doubled with two outs and scored on a single by Jordan Thompson in the third to pull the Aggies within a run. Ben Metzinger doubled in a run in the fifth to put the Cardinals up 4-2, but Thompson tied the game with a home run in the seventh — after Claunch led off with a single. Claunch's game-winning hit came after Louisville reliever Michael Prosecky loaded the bases on a single, walk and a hit batter. Prosecky (2-1) came on in the eighth with one out and one on via a walk and walked two more before striking out Kole Kaler to end the threat. Jacob Palisch (6-3) pitched two scoreless innings in relief to get the win. The Aggies finished the game with 11 hits, 10 walks and had four batters hit by pitches. __ More AP college sports: https://apnews.com/hub/college-sports and https://twitter.com/AP_Top25	https://www.myjournalcourier.com/sports/article/Claunch-sends-Texas-A-M-past-Louisville-5-4-in-17234895.php	2022-06-11T06:25:44	en	0.959896

LAFAYETTE, La. (AP) — “Leave your message after the beep” has taken on a whole new meaning for Lafayette resident Shayla Lange, whose new business Ring-A-Ding Ding Audio Guestbook transforms the banal communication method of voicemail into an opportunity for fun, sentimental keepsakes for major life events. Ring-A-Ding Ding Audio Guestbook, which launched in mid-May, will give brides and grooms an alternative to the traditional paper guestbook for their wedding. When guests arrive, they’ll be met with a vintage-style rotary phone engineered to act as a standalone recording device. Guests will pick up the phone, hear a personalized voicemail message and then have the option to leave the happy couple words of wisdom, well wishes, comical quips or stories of favorite memories throughout the night, Lange said. Clients have several package options for the rental based around the number of hours they’d like the phone available. Ring-A-Ding Ding’s service comes with delivery, set up and pickup of the phone, with Lange aiming to turn around the voicemails within 48 hours of the event for delivery to the client. The messages can be delivered via the cloud, on a custom USB drive or pressed into a vinyl record, she said. “I capture that moment for you. Whoever listens to it is transported back into that moment and it feels like you’re there again. Imagine being 70 years old and you pull out your audio guestbook and you’re listening to it with your husband. It’s something like a time capsule with voices,” Lange said. While the audio guestbook concept has been a growing trend in the bridal market, driven partly by brides sharing the product on social media, Lange said she sees a range of events her service could be used for, including baby showers, birthdays, retirement parties and milestone anniversary gatherings. This isn’t Lange’s first time launching a business. Since graduating from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette with a degree in mass communications in 2019, Lange has started her own marketing firm, now a partnership firm called The Social Mavens, and a luxury picnic business called The Picnic Chick. The 27-year-old’s businesses are now profitable enough that she was able to leave her full-time job as a marketing and sales associate to focus solely on operating and growing them. Lange said she cherishes being self-employed because it gives her freedom to embrace her creativity and act quickly when a new idea develops that she thinks could stand out in the local business landscape. “I think I like that it’s a little bit of an adventure. There’s adrenaline, and a feeling of what’s going to happen next and who can I serve next,” Lange said. The entrepreneur said she’s already developed a growth plan for Ring-A-Ding Ding and is hopeful that if demand meets expectations she’ll be able to acquire a second phone in a new color within the first few months of operation to serve more clients. Lange came across the audio guestbook concept while scouring TikTok for new ideas for the entertainment side of The Picnic Chick. She was immediately intrigued, drawn in by the fresh concept and interactive opportunity the phone can bring to events, but also by the sentimental quality of the product. “I think a voice is so precious. You can’t replace that,” Lange said. Rhonda Lange, Shayla’s mother, said she and her daughter love the concept because they know firsthand what it’s like to wish for a keepsake of a loved one after their death. In 2013, Shayla’s godmother Chantell Autin, a cousin of Rhonda’s, passed away. The women had no videos or clips of her voice preserved; after digging online, Shayla managed to find an old clip of Autin on YouTube that she plays when she wants to feel close to her, her mother said. “The person that sparked her interest for party planning and things like that, her nanny, has passed on…She has grandbabies that she never got to meet.

VILLE PLATTE, La. (AP) — Lauren Vallet was struggling to figure out what to get her boyfriend’s family for Christmas. She didn’t want to give his mom and grandmother something that could end up in the back of a closet. She wanted a gift with meaning. With a little Pinterest inspiration and YouTube instruction, the 23-year-old decided to hand make their Christmas presents — custom rosaries of wire, glass beads and delicate metal crosses. Vallet customized the gifts, using letter beads to spell out their names. She had leftover material so she made her mom one. They were a big hit. “I made everybody cry for Christmas,” Vallet recalled. It wasn’t just her friends and family who liked them though. Requests poured in after photos made their way to Facebook. It was Christmas break of her senior year at Louisiana State University, and Vallet had time to fill the orders, many of them coming from her hometown of Ville Platte and the surrounding area. She enjoyed the process, having always been into crafting, so she kept going and started her business — Rosaries by Lauren. “Then it was just when I wasn’t studying or working I was making them,” Vallet said. “It got a little hard during finals, but we made it work.” The last few months included not only finals but also Easter, Mother’s Day, graduations and end-of-year recitals, all of which meant a lot of orders. She makes about eight to 10 a week, she said, and each takes about 30-to-45 minutes to complete. But she loves every minute. “It makes me happy that people were giving people something they will pass down,” she said. Vallet said she's also received orders for brides, high school senior nights, first communion, birthdays and just about any other special occasion. “I can tweak it to each person’s personality or interests,” she said. “I feel like it makes you as a kid more excited when you know this was specially picked out for me or specially made for me. It has my name on it or the beads are my favorite color or sport.” Vallet has made rosaries with names, beads painted like softballs, charms in the shape of ballet slippers or medical symbols. The latter was inspired by her grandmother, a nurse who keeps a rosary in her pocket all day at work. One she made for herself features a cameo at the center, giving it an antique look that aligns with her personal style. But she tends to like all of her creations. “I want to keep them all,” she said. “It’s hard to let them go.” It took some time and trial and error to figure it all out. She used different techniques and materials, making adjustments when one type of wire was too stiff to stay in a pocket, for example. “Now I think I have it down to a science,” Vallet said. The making process has been one of faith as well, as she is creating items central to the Catholic faith practice. “It has brought me closer to my faith,” she said. “I like making the rosaries, and it helps me remember that we have to pray the rosary and have to follow our faith. And I like that I’m helping others practice their faith.” Vallet graduated May 21 with her bachelor’s from LSU. She studied sociology with a minor in psychology, and now she looks ahead to graduate occupational therapy school. In the meantime, she’ll be working full-time at a pediatric therapy center in Baton Rouge and running her business on the side. In addition to rosaries, she’s begun making larger blessing beads with crosses, which can be displayed within a home. She can use wooden beads or work with recycled African glass to make them. Vallet takes orders through Facebook, and she has inventory for sale at Blake’s Gifts in Ville Platte. Most come from Acadiana, including some from her alma mater Sacred Heart High School in Evangeline Parish, but she’s shipped all the way to California.	https://www.lakecountystar.com/news/article/Woman-hand-makes-custom-rosaries-for-daily-prayer-17234859.php	2022-06-11T06:26:11	en	0.985605

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate COLLEGE STATION, Texas (AP) — Catcher Troy Claunch singled with two outs and the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning and No. 5 overall seed Texas A&M stranded 17 runners on base before posting a 5-4 victory over No. 12 seed Louisville in the first round of the College Station Super Regional on Friday night. Texas A&M (41-18) and Louisville (42-20-1) will play again Saturday. A win by the Aggies would send them to the College World Series for a seventh time. A win by the Cardinals, aiming for their sixth CWS appearance, would force a winner-take-all game on Sunday. Claunch gave Texas A&M a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first when he was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded and two outs. The Cardinals got a two-run single from Logan Beard and a sacrifice fly from Ben Bianco in the top of the second to grab a 3-1 lead. Brett Minnich doubled with two outs and scored on a single by Jordan Thompson in the third to pull the Aggies within a run. Ben Metzinger doubled in a run in the fifth to put the Cardinals up 4-2, but Thompson tied the game with a home run in the seventh — after Claunch led off with a single. Claunch's game-winning hit came after Louisville reliever Michael Prosecky loaded the bases on a single, walk and a hit batter. Prosecky (2-1) came on in the eighth with one out and one on via a walk and walked two more before striking out Kole Kaler to end the threat. Jacob Palisch (6-3) pitched two scoreless innings in relief to get the win. The Aggies finished the game with 11 hits, 10 walks and had four batters hit by pitches. __ More AP college sports: https://apnews.com/hub/college-sports and https://twitter.com/AP_Top25	https://www.lakecountystar.com/sports/article/Claunch-sends-Texas-A-M-past-Louisville-5-4-in-17234895.php	2022-06-11T06:26:17	en	0.959896
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate SEATTLE (AP) — J.D. Martinez homered for the first time in nearly a month, Bobby Dalbec snapped a tie with a solo shot and the Boston Red Sox won for the eighth time in nine games, beating the Seattle Mariners 4-3 on Friday night. Boston opened the final leg of its West Coast swing with a bounce-back victory after seeing its seven-game win streak snapped a day earlier. Martinez homered for the first time since May 17, hitting a solo blast off Seattle starter Marco Gonzales to give Boston a 2-0 lead. It was Martinez's sixth home run. After the Mariners pulled even at 2-all, Dalbec opened the seventh inning with his fourth home run off Seattle reliever Andrés Muñoz (1-3). Muñoz had allowed one run over his previous six outings. Jake Diekman (2-0), one of five Boston relievers, earned the win. Seattle pulled within 4-3 on Cal Raleigh’s two-out RBI single in the eighth, but Matt Strahm got a flyout from Jesse Winker with the tying run at third to end the threat. Tanner Houck had trouble in the ninth, but picked up his first save of the season and second of his career. Houck allowed two base runners, but got Adam Frazier to line out to end the game with the tying run at third. Seattle left 12 runners on base. Seattle was looking for a good start to an 11-game, 10-day homestand following a successful road trip that inched the Mariners closer to .500. But Gonzales struggled badly with control, walking a career-high six batters and barely making it out of the first inning after throwing 44 pitches. Seattle’s only offense early came on Winker’s two-run homer in the fifth inning in what was likely the last batter for Boston starter Rich Hill. Despite the rough first inning that included Xander Bogaerts' RBI double, Gonzales minimized the damage. He pitched into the fifth, giving up only two runs and throwing 102 pitches. Winker’s homer came on a 2-2 curveball from Hill and stayed fair down the right field line, pulling Seattle even at 2-all. It was Winker’s fourth homer, three coming off left-handed pitchers. Seattle missed a chance for more in the fifth, leaving the bases loaded after Eugenio Suárez struck out and Adam Frazier popped out against reliever John Schreiber. TRAINER’S ROOM Red Sox: RHP Garrett Whitlock was placed on the 10-day IL with right hip inflammation. Whitlock was scheduled to pitch Sunday’s series finale in Seattle. Boston recalled right-hander Phillips Valdez from Triple-A Worcester to take Whitlock’s spot. ... RHP Nathan Eovaldi (hip) was examined in Boston and is expected to make his next turn in the rotation next week at home. ... OF Alex Verdugo was day to day with a sore knee.

LHP Anthony Misiewicz was optioned to Triple-A Tacoma. ... OF/DH Kyle Lewis is still suffering from concussion symptoms and has not resumed baseball activities. Lewis was placed on the concussion injured list on June 1. ... RHP Ken Giles was in the Seattle clubhouse pregame but is still expected to have a couple more rehab outings in the minors before potentially joining the Mariners. UP NEXT Red Sox: RHP Michael Wacha (4-1, 1.99) is coming off a complete-game shut out over the Angels, allowing three hits and striking out six. Wacha has not allowed an earned run in his past two starts. Mariners: Rookie RHP George Kirby (1-1, 3.38) makes his seventh start, but just his third at home. Kirby has pitched six innings in each of his last two starts and allowed two earned runs over those 12 innings. ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports	https://www.myjournalcourier.com/sports/article/Martinez-Dalbec-homers-power-Red-Sox-past-17234910.php	2022-06-11T06:26:18	en	0.965615

Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate SAN DIEGO (AP) — Joe Musgrove took over the major league earned run average lead and remained unbeaten in 11 starts, striking out eight over six innings to lead the San Diego Padres over the Colorado Rockies 9-0 on Friday night. Musgrove (7-0) allowed four hits and two walks, dropping his ERA to 1.50 and taking over the lead from the Texas Rangers' Martín Pérez (1.56). Musgrove has allowed one run in his last 27 innings. San Diego is 10-1 when Musgrove starts, and his streak of 11 starts with six or more innings is the longest in team history. Colorado put runners on second and third in the fourth inning before Musgrove retired Randal Grichuk on a groundout. Craig Stammen, Tim Hill and Steven Wilson finished a five-hitter.

"We talked about using the fastball more. Obviously I went out there and still threw breaking balls. I relied on the fastball more as the game went on," Musgrove said. “I feel like I am playing a different game than I ever have before, mentally more than anything.” San Diego is 10-1 when Musgrove starts, and his streak of 11 starts with six or more innings is the longest in team history “Joe Musgrove is probably the guy that you don’t want to face,” Padres manager Bob Melvin said. Colorado put runners on second and third in the fourth inning before Musgrove retired Randal Grichuk on a groundout. Craig Stammen, Tim Hill and Steven Wilson finished a five-hitter. San Diego's eight shutouts tied the New York Yankees for second in the major leagues, one behind the New York Mets. “Our offense is playing up a little bit knowing when I’m out there we only need a couple of runs and I am able to hold the game within reach,” Musgrove said. “They have done a really good job of getting me runs early in the game, letting me open up the arsenal.” Manny Machado hit his 10th homer on the ninth pitch of an at-bat against Chad Kuhl (4-3), Jake Cronenworth had a two-run double and Nomar Mazara had three hits as San Diego won for the sixth time in seven games. “My swing is probably the most consistent that it has been in my career,” Mazara said. The Padres have scored 29 runs in their last three games — five more than in any previous three-game stretch this season. "When you are able to put pressure throughout the lineup, you are able to put up nine runs sometimes," Melvin said.

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Brandon Nimmo and Mark Canha both had two hits and three RBIs as the New York Mets bounced back after two straight losses with a 7-3 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night. Every Mets starter had at least one hit as the NL East leaders had 13 in the game. It's the third time on this California road trip New York has had at least 13 hits. David Peterson (3-0), the second of six Mets pitchers, allowed one run in 2 2/3 innings of relief to get the win. Brandon Marsh had three hits, drove in three runs and had the first multi-homer game of his career. The Angels snapped a franchise-record 14-game losing streak Thursday, but haven't won two straight since May 24. Mike Trout missed his third straight game due to right groin tightness. Nimmo, who was 3 for 24 during the first seven games of the road trip, homered for the first time since April 25 when his solo shot over the wall in right-center extended the lead to 4-2 in the fourth inning. The center fielder then added a two-run double down the left-field line in the sixth to put New York up by four. Canha continued his hot hitting with a two-run, bases-loaded double in the second inning to chase Angels starter Jhonathan Diaz (1-1) and an RBI single in the sixth. Canha is 20 for 61 with nine RBIs in his last 16 games to raise his season batting average to .300, which is ninth in the NL. Diaz appeared as if he might get out of the inning after base hits put runners at first and third with no outs, but shortstop Andrew Velazquez was unable to make a play with two outs on a hard-hit grounder by Tomás Nido to drive in Jeff McNeil. Canha's double two batters later ended the lefty's night. The Angels responded with two runs in the bottom of the inning. Jared Walsh led off with a single before Marsh crushed Tylor Megill's sinker into the stands in right-center. The 449-foot homer is the longest ball hit at Angel Stadium this season. Marsh then connected for a solo shot just over the short wall in right field in the sixth to bring the Angels within 7-3. It was the fourth time this season Marsh has had a three-hit game. FOR STARTERS Megill went 3 1/3 innings in his first start since May 11 due to right biceps inflammation. The Long Beach native allowed two runs on five hits and struck out four. Diaz was called up for the fourth time this season and was making his third start. The right-hander allowed three runs and five hits in 1 2/3 innings. TRAINER'S ROOM Mets: 1B Pete Alonso returned to the lineup and went 1 for 5. He missed Wednesday's game after being hit by a pitch in the right hand Tuesday in San Diego. ... CF Starling Marte (quad tightness) did some running before batting practice, but missed his second straight game. ... RHP Stephen Nogosek was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse to open up a roster spot for Megill. Angels: 3B Anthony Rendon was activated from the injured list after missing 12 games due to right wrist inflammation. He went 0 for 3 with a walk. ... INF Jack Mayfield and OF Dillon Thomas were optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake to make room for Rendon and Diaz. UP NEXT Mets: RHP Carlos Carrasco (7-1, 3.52 ERA) has won his last four starts and struck out a season-high 10 in his last outing Monday in San Diego. Angels: RHP Michael Lorenzen (5-3, 3.69 ERA) has given up eight runs in 12 1/3 innings in his last two starts.

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Darin Ruf hit two homers and drove in four runs, Joc Pederson added two hits and two RBIs, and Jakob Junis won his third straight decision as the San Francisco Giants beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-2 Friday night. Junis (4-1) worked five innings and yielded two runs and five hits, including Gavin Lux’s fifth-inning homer, before leaving with a strained hamstring. The Lux homer pulled the Dodgers within 3-2 before the Giants scored three runs in their half of the fifth inning to pull away. With Curt Casali on first base and one out, pinch-hitter Austin Slater hit a comebacker to Dodgers reliever Justin Bruhl, who slipped as he fielded the ball. That caused Bruhl to throw wildly past first as Casali and Slater advanced to third and second. One out later, Pederson singled home two runs and Ruf stroked an RBI single. Dodgers starter Walker Buehler (6-3) lost for just the second time in his career in nine decisions against the Giants. He allowed three runs and four hits in four innings before leaving the game with discomfort in his elbow. Pederson opened the scoring by leading off the second with a single, stealing second and scoring on Evan Longoria’s double. Longoria scored on Brandon Crawford’s single. Ruf hit his fourth homer of the season with one out in the fourth, and added his fifth homer with one out in the eighth off David Price. PRIDE DAY Longtime rivals on the diamond, the Dodgers and Giants will join forces in pregame ceremonies Saturday at Oracle Park to observe Pride Day, a celebration of diversity. "We’re looking forward to it and partnering with the Dodgers on this, really coming together and emphasizing that it’s not enough to reluctantly accept any community,” Giants manager Gabe Kapler said. “It’s really important that everybody feels welcome and wanted and appreciated. That is absolutely true for the LGTBQ+ communities.” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts cited the “awareness” and “inclusiveness” that the event promotes. “I think that two great organizations coming together to use our platform is a positive thing,” he said. TRAINER’S ROOM Dodgers: Roberts said that left-hander Andrew Heaney (shoulder) will be expected to work at least five innings next Tuesday when he makes third injury rehabilitation start. Roberts said that due to logistics, Heaney will pitch not for Triple-A Oklahoma City, but instead for Double-A Tulsa against Wichita. Heaney continued to progress on Thursday, allowing two hits and walking none while striking out five in 4 1/3 scoreless innings for Oklahoma City against Sugar Land. Giants: Outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr. (left knee) felt tightness in his left hamstring while performing baserunning drills, prompting the Giants to back off on his possible return. “I don’t think we’re at the stage where we have to consider this a real setback,” Giants manager Gabe Kapler said, “but we’re going to get through the weekend before we decide what’s next.” Kapler said that the Giants’ medical staff prefers to consider Wade’s injury “separate” from his knee. “But everything’s always connected,” Kapler added. Wade, one of San Francisco’s leading hitters with 18 homers last year, has appeared in 10 of 57 games ...

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Brandon Nimmo and Mark Canha both had two hits and three RBIs as the New York Mets bounced back after two straight losses with a 7-3 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Friday night. Every Mets starter had at least one hit as the NL East leaders had 13 in the game. It's the third time on this California road trip New York has had at least 13 hits. David Peterson (3-0), the second of six Mets pitchers, allowed one run in 2 2/3 innings of relief to get the win. Brandon Marsh had three hits, drove in three runs and had the first multi-homer game of his career. The Angels snapped a franchise-record 14-game losing streak Thursday, but haven't won two straight since May 24. Mike Trout missed his third straight game due to right groin tightness. Nimmo, who was 3 for 24 during the first seven games of the road trip, homered for the first time since April 25 when his solo shot over the wall in right-center extended the lead to 4-2 in the fourth inning. The center fielder then added a two-run double down the left-field line in the sixth to put New York up by four. Canha continued his hot hitting with a two-run, bases-loaded double in the second inning to chase Angels starter Jhonathan Diaz (1-1) and an RBI single in the sixth. Canha is 20 for 61 with nine RBIs in his last 16 games to raise his season batting average to .300, which is ninth in the NL. Diaz appeared as if he might get out of the inning after base hits put runners at first and third with no outs, but shortstop Andrew Velazquez was unable to make a play with two outs on a hard-hit grounder by Tomás Nido to drive in Jeff McNeil. Canha's double two batters later ended the lefty's night. The Angels responded with two runs in the bottom of the inning. Jared Walsh led off with a single before Marsh crushed Tylor Megill's sinker into the stands in right-center. The 449-foot homer is the longest ball hit at Angel Stadium this season. Marsh then connected for a solo shot just over the short wall in right field in the sixth to bring the Angels within 7-3. It was the fourth time this season Marsh has had a three-hit game. FOR STARTERS Megill went 3 1/3 innings in his first start since May 11 due to right biceps inflammation. The Long Beach native allowed two runs on five hits and struck out four. Diaz was called up for the fourth time this season and was making his third start. The right-hander allowed three runs and five hits in 1 2/3 innings. TRAINER'S ROOM Mets: 1B Pete Alonso returned to the lineup and went 1 for 5. He missed Wednesday's game after being hit by a pitch in the right hand Tuesday in San Diego. ... CF Starling Marte (quad tightness) did some running before batting practice, but missed his second straight game. ... RHP Stephen Nogosek was optioned to Triple-A Syracuse to open up a roster spot for Megill. Angels: 3B Anthony Rendon was activated from the injured list after missing 12 games due to right wrist inflammation. He went 0 for 3 with a walk. ... INF Jack Mayfield and OF Dillon Thomas were optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake to make room for Rendon and Diaz. UP NEXT Mets: RHP Carlos Carrasco (7-1, 3.52 ERA) has won his last four starts and struck out a season-high 10 in his last outing Monday in San Diego. Angels: RHP Michael Lorenzen (5-3, 3.69 ERA) has given up eight runs in 12 1/3 innings in his last two starts. It also marks the debut of the Angels wearing their City Connect uniforms. ___ More AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports	https://www.myjournalcourier.com/sports/article/Nimmo-Canha-each-drive-in-3-runs-as-Mets-defeat-17234869.php	2022-06-11T06:26:44	en	0.979286

Cheyenne Parker finished with 20 points and 13 rebounds, while Aari McDonald scored 13.

The Dream battled back, using five straight points by Parker to pull within 89-88 with 9.9 seconds left. Atlanta had the ball last after Taurasi missed the second of two free throws, but Parker and AD Durr couldn't get shots to drop. ___ More AP women’s basketball: https://apnews.com/hub/womens-basketball and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports	https://www.lakecountystar.com/sports/article/Taurasi-Charles-help-Mercury-edge-Dream-90-88-17234867.php	2022-06-11T06:26:54	en	0.941879

This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Darin Ruf hit two homers and drove in four runs, Joc Pederson added two hits and two RBIs, and Jakob Junis won his third straight decision as the San Francisco Giants beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-2 Friday night. Junis (4-1) worked five innings and yielded two runs and five hits, including Gavin Lux’s fifth-inning homer, before leaving with a strained hamstring. The Lux homer pulled the Dodgers within 3-2 before the Giants scored three runs in their half of the fifth inning to pull away. With Curt Casali on first base and one out, pinch-hitter Austin Slater hit a comebacker to Dodgers reliever Justin Bruhl, who slipped as he fielded the ball. That caused Bruhl to throw wildly past first as Casali and Slater advanced to third and second. One out later, Pederson singled home two runs and Ruf stroked an RBI single. Dodgers starter Walker Buehler (6-3) lost for just the second time in his career in nine decisions against the Giants. He allowed three runs and four hits in four innings before leaving the game with discomfort in his elbow. Pederson opened the scoring by leading off the second with a single, stealing second and scoring on Evan Longoria’s double. Longoria scored on Brandon Crawford’s single. Ruf hit his fourth homer of the season with one out in the fourth, and added his fifth homer with one out in the eighth off David Price. PRIDE DAY Longtime rivals on the diamond, the Dodgers and Giants will join forces in pregame ceremonies Saturday at Oracle Park to observe Pride Day, a celebration of diversity. "We’re looking forward to it and partnering with the Dodgers on this, really coming together and emphasizing that it’s not enough to reluctantly accept any community,” Giants manager Gabe Kapler said. “It’s really important that everybody feels welcome and wanted and appreciated. That is absolutely true for the LGTBQ+ communities.” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts cited the “awareness” and “inclusiveness” that the event promotes. “I think that two great organizations coming together to use our platform is a positive thing,” he said. TRAINER’S ROOM Dodgers: Roberts said that left-hander Andrew Heaney (shoulder) will be expected to work at least five innings next Tuesday when he makes third injury rehabilitation start. Roberts said that due to logistics, Heaney will pitch not for Triple-A Oklahoma City, but instead for Double-A Tulsa against Wichita. Heaney continued to progress on Thursday, allowing two hits and walking none while striking out five in 4 1/3 scoreless innings for Oklahoma City against Sugar Land. Giants: Outfielder LaMonte Wade Jr. (left knee) felt tightness in his left hamstring while performing baserunning drills, prompting the Giants to back off on his possible return. “I don’t think we’re at the stage where we have to consider this a real setback,” Giants manager Gabe Kapler said, “but we’re going to get through the weekend before we decide what’s next.” Kapler said that the Giants’ medical staff prefers to consider Wade’s injury “separate” from his knee. “But everything’s always connected,” Kapler added. Wade, one of San Francisco’s leading hitters with 18 homers last year, has appeared in 10 of 57 games ...
