Olivia Araujo crushed her first varsity homer, blasting Greater New Bedford softball off to Division 3 final
With the 10th-seeded Bears trailing No. 6 Foxborough by a run in the top of the sixth inning, the sophomore crushed a two-out, two-run homer to left, launching the Bears into their third state final in eight years with a 3-2 Division 3 semifinal win at UMass Dartmouth. 'I love big moments,' said Araujo. 'I love the pressure. There's not a better situation you can be in.' Did she know it was gone off the bat? 'Absolutely not,' she said. How about her coach, Craig Soares? 'Never expected that from Olivia,' he said. 'She's a gamer. She hits the ball. But I wasn't expecting that.' 10th seeded — Brendan Kurie (@BrendanKurie) Araujo's blast complemented Akiira'ley Vazquez's big day. The freshman homered in the first inning and pitched a complete game, striking out eight while working around seven hits and three walks, including escaping a bases-loaded jam in the bottom of the sixth.

What a defensive play from Mid 4th — Brendan Kurie (@BrendanKurie) Foxborough (15-9) went ahead in the bottom of the fifth when Emma Callahan grounded an RBI single up the middle and Mackenzie Crockford raced home on a wild pitch for a brief, 2-1, lead. In the title game, the Bears (18-8), who won it all in 2018 and 2022, will take on the winner of top-seeded Dighton-Rehoboth (22-2) and No. 5 Nipmuc (21-2), who play Thursday.

Remembering the SMS Bears in the 2003 College World Series
Hello everyone, I'm Dan Lucy on the Ozarks First digital desk. And one big sports story this week was Murray State beating Duke in an NCAA Super Regional. That gave the Racers a ticket to the College World Series in Omaha. Murray State becomes the first Valley team to make it to Omaha since the Southwest Missouri State Bears back in 2003. I thought it was time to break out Danny's Way Back Machine. Periodically we'll crank up the Way Back Machine, blow off the dust from some file tape, and show you what it looked like back in the day. So we take you back to June of 2003, the Southwest Missouri State Bears baseball team was on a roll. After winning the Valley's regular season, the Bears earned an at-large berth to the Lincoln regional in the NCAA tournament. SMS beat Coastal Carolina in the opening game 8-3. Then the Bears took two of three from Nebraska to earn a trip to the Super Regional in Columbus, Ohio. In Columbus, Southwest Missouri State swept the home town Buckeyes 13-8 and 13-7. Evidently 13 was a lucky number for coach Keith Guttin and the Bears. So the crew went off to Omaha with a roster full of talent. Shaun Marcum, Brad Ziegler and Jeff Gray eventually made it to the major leagues. And a first baseman named Scott Nasby, became the baseball coach at Drury. The Bears played Rice in the first game at the College World Series. Greg Mathis hit a home run for the Bears but Rice won the game 4-2. SMS faced Miami in the elimination game, the Hurricanes built a big lead, but the Bears battled back. Shaun Marcum belted a three run homer late to make Miami nervous, but the Hurricanes beat SMS 7-to-5. But it was an historic run for Keith Guttin and the Southwest Missouri State Bears. The team won 40 games, the Valley's regular season championship, and advanced further than any other baseball team in Missouri State history. So I hope you enjoyed your trip through the Way Back Machine to the year 2003. MoState still has a few weeks left in the Valley conference, enough time to cheer on Murray State in Omaha at the College World Series. For more sports watch Ozarks First news at nine and ten. And I'll see you then. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Lake County council appoints NWI Oilmen president to sports commission
Don Popravak, president of the Northwest Indiana Oilmen baseball club, said the Northwest Indiana Professional Sports Development Commission will work across the region to create a 'cohesive professional sports development area here.' 'It will help drive tourism. It will help drive economic development for cities and towns across those counties,' Popravak said. 'There is unlimited potential here.' The Lake County Council appointed Popravak to the Northwest Indiana Professional Sports Development Commission Tuesday as proxy for council president Christine Cid, D-East Chicago. House Bill 1292, authored by Rep. Earl Harris, D-East Chicago, would establish a Northwest Indiana professional development commission and a professional sports development fund. The commission would be tasked with exploring and implementing strategies to attract one or more sports franchises to Northwest Indiana, Harris said. The bill outlines the 17-member commission, which include mayors from East Chicago, Gary, Hammond, Michigan City, LaPorte, Portage and South Bend, while the remaining members would be appointed by various people, including the executive director of the Northwest Indiana Regional Development Authority, and Lake, Porter, LaPorte and St. Joseph county leaders. Under the bill, the commission would explore attracting professional football, baseball, basketball, hockey or soccer teams. But, since the Chicago Bears have been looking for a new home, Harris said when he proposed the bill in the 2024 session it got attention then as a possible new location for the team. The Chicago Bears purchased the former Arlington International Racecourse in Arlington Heights in February 2023 and hopes to build a new enclosed stadium with a big entertainment and residential development. In December, the Bears and Arlington Heights reached an agreement to set taxes at $3.6 million per year. Earlier this month, the Chicago Tribune reported that team officials have shifted their focus for a new stadium away from the city's lakefront back to Arlington Heights. But, Harris said his bill allows Northwest Indiana to be considered as the Bears consider a new home. Northwest Indiana is in the Chicago market, he said, so the fan base for the Bears – or any Chicago team – is there, he said. 'This makes it more attractive for them to come to Northwest Indiana. It provides another option,' Harris said. 'I think there is an opportunity for them if they can't work things out in Illinois.' Lake County Councilman Charlie Brown, D-Gary, asked Popravak if he can assure the council that the commission will secure a shot at moving the Chicago Bears to Northwest Indiana. Popravak said that about $3 billion would help secure the Chicago Bears. Given that the Chicago Bears are debating stadiums in Chicago and Arlington Heights, that would be a difficult assurance to ask for, he said. 'I can't guarantee things like that. Those are a little bit out of my reach,' Popravak said. 'Those are big stakes.' Cid asked Popravak to keep the council updated on the progress the commission makes. Popravak said he would, and that the commission has a meeting planned in July. Since he was elected, Harris has touted Northwest Indiana's resources like the lakefront, the Gary/Chicago International Airport, the South Shore railroad, casinos and the planned Lake County Convention Center. A stadium for a sports franchise is the next step, he said. Nearly 30 years ago, Harris said his late father proposed legislation to bring a sports stadium to Northwest Indiana, also aiming to draw the Chicago Bears to the region. 'To be able to pick up the ball, as his son, I'm very proud and happy about that, and I'm sure he would be also,' Harris said. 'I'm glad to see this bill has made the movement that it has and it will make it through the process, and excited about what it will mean in terms of professional sports, economics and jobs in Northwest Indiana.'
