Notre Dame baseball star named a semifinalist for a top national award
Notre Dame baseball star named a semifinalist for a top national award
It has been quite the season for Notre Dame baseball's catcher Carson Tinney, and he is getting recognized nationally for his elite play.
The sophomore leads the team in batting average with a .352 mark, slugging with an absurd .752, homers with 15, and RBI with 49. Tinney has been great behind the dish as well, posting a .990 fielding percentage.
That led the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association to name him as a semifinalist for the 2025 Dick Howser Trophy, given out annually to the best player in college baseball. It's a huge honor for Tinney, who has taken a huge leap in his second season in South Bend.
The future is very bright for Tinney, as he most likely will be playing his final season of collegiate baseball next year before getting taken in the MLB draft. He's already outplayed his recruiting ranking, and will look to continue his great play as the Irish try and make the NCAA Tournament over the next two weeks.

Rockies edge Marlins 3-2
The Colorado Rockies ended a streak of 22 consecutive series losses dating to last year, beating the Miami Marlins 3-2 Tuesday night as Hunter Goodman homered for the third time in two games. Colorado, a major league-worst 11-50, won consecutive games for just the second time this year after beating Atlanta on April 30 and San Francisco the next day. They go for a series sweep against the Marlins on Wednesday. Goodman hit his 10th homer of the season in the eighth inning as the Rockies ended a run of 19 series losses this season. He had two homers in a 6-4 win over Miami on Monday. Goodman went 2 for 4 with his 12th double of the season. Tyler Freeman had three hits and Jordan Beck two. The Rockies tied the game in the fifth on Beck's RBI single and Thairo Estrada's sacrifice fly. Victor Vodnik (1-1) worked 1 1/3 innings of relief for the win. Seth Halvorsen retired three pinch hitters in the ninth and earned his third save. Colorado center fielder Brenton Doyle ended the game with a running catch at the wall to retire Heriberto Hernández. Anthony Bender (1-4) gave up Goodman's homer. The 30-year-old right-hander had not allowed a homer since Aug. 10, 2024. Chase Dollander was reinstated from the injured list and started for the Rockies. The 23-year-old lasted three innings and 59 pitches, giving up RBI singles to Jesús Sánchez and Kyle Stowers. Sánchez had two hits for Miami, which has lost three in a row and seven of eight. Miami's Sandy Alcantara matched his longest start of the year, working six innings, but didn't figure in the decision for the second straight game after seven straight losses. With two outs in the Marlins' seventh, Xavier Edwards and Sánchez singled. Vodnik relieved and got Agustín Ramírez on a tapper back to the mound. Eight of Goodman's homers have come on the road. Colorado LHP Kyle Freeland (0-8, 5.72) faces Miami's LHP Cal Quantrill (3-5, 5.84) in Wednesday's series finale. ___ AP MLB:
