Brewers' Jacob Misiorowski dazzles in debut, exits with cramping
MILWAUKEE — Jacob Misiorowski arrived exactly as advertised in his long-awaited major-league debut Thursday night. The Brewers' flamethrowing to prospect hurled five innings of no-hit ball against the St. Louis Cardinals, walking four and striking out five, but departed the game alongside a trainer in the bottom of the sixth.

Misiorowski appeared to have rolled his ankle, though his exit was ultimately attributed to right calf and quad cramping.
The 23-year-old, who ranked 87th overall in The Athletic's Keith Law's top 100 preseason prospect rankings, rose through the minor-league system thanks to his powerful triple-digit velocity. He can routinely throw pitches over 1oo mph, and has been one of the hardest throwing pitchers in the minor-league circuit since he was drafted in the second round of the 2022 draft.
That's what he brought to the show, with the first three pitches of his major-league career tapping out at over 100 mph. The fifth pitch of his career — a 102.2 mile per hour fastball to Lars Nootbaar — was the hardest-thrown pitch by a Brewers starter in the pitch-tracking era, which dates back to 2008.
Of his 81 total pitches thrown, 14 were recorded at 100 mph or higher.

Misiorowski, who was called up from Triple A Nashville on Tuesday, came out for the bottom of the sixth inning after a lengthy break in which the Brewers scored five runs off Cardinals' starter Sonny Gray. He fell behind 3-0 to Victor Scott II to lead off the inning, and seemingly rolled his right ankle retreating back to the mound. After a brief meeting with manager Pat Murphy, pitching coach Chris Hook and the medical staff, Misiorowski left the game. The crowd at American Family Field gave him a standing ovation as he departed the field.
Misiorowski became the third major-league pitcher since 1900 to record at least five innings without allowing a hit in his MLB debut, joining Los Angeles Dodgers Emmet Sheehan (six innings, 2023) and New York Giants Red Ames (five innings, 1903).

What Makes A Good Sportsbook In 2025?
Image by vectorpocket on Freepik With more states legalizing sports betting and platforms vying for attention, the sportsbook landscape is more competitive than ever. In 2025, bettors are faced with an unprecedented range of options—but not all sportsbooks deliver the same experience. The leading platforms go beyond simply offering odds. They provide valuable tools, reliable information, and a secure environment that promotes smarter, more responsible betting. Understanding what sets top-tier sportsbooks apart is essential. These key differences have a real impact on the everyday user's experience. Fast, Fair, and User-Friendly Platforms A good sportsbook starts with a smooth experience. That means fast loading times, simple navigation, and a layout that works just as well on mobile as it does on desktop. If a bettor can't find the markets they're looking for or place a wager quickly, they'll move on to a platform that can deliver. In 2025, top sportsbooks prioritise: Clean, uncluttered interfaces, Quick access to top leagues and live matches, Easy-to-read odds and markets, Seamless account management and bet tracking. These basics still matter. In a market flooded with options, even a small tech issue or confusing interface can cost a sportsbook long-term users. Market Depth Across Sports and Events One of the clearest signs of a quality sportsbook is its market depth. Bettors today want more than just standard moneyline odds. They now demand access to a wide range of markets across various sports, particularly as season schedules increasingly overlap. A well-rounded sportsbook offers: Pre-match and live betting on major and niche sports, Options for player props, team totals, and game specials, Early lines and market movement tracking, Multi-sport parlay builders for flexible bet slips. Real-Time Insights That Add Value Bettors in 2025 are looking for more than odds—they want information that helps them make informed choices. Leading sportsbooks now provide built-in stats, previews, and editorial content that brings context to the numbers. Quality sportsbooks support their users with: In-app articles and expert match previews, Real-time stat feeds and form guides, Line movement indicators and public betting splits, Access to official data from leagues and events. This focus on sports betting insights has changed the way people bet. It's no longer about guessing. It's about interpreting information and applying it to betting strategies—something only the most advanced platforms are equipped to support. Security and Trust Still Come First Speed and features are important, but trust remains the foundation of any good sportsbook. Players need to feel confident that their data is safe, their funds are secure, and their bets are handled fairly. Regulated sportsbooks meet strict standards, including: Transparent terms and payout policies, Secure login and identity verification processes, Responsible gaming features like deposit limits and timeouts, Full licensing with state oversight and accountability. This is where platforms like FanDuel Sportsbook stand out. As a licensed and well-established operator, FanDuel offers users a reliable betting environment that prioritises safety and responsible play. Combined with daily odds boosts, live betting tools, and flexible market coverage, it's a prime example of what today's bettors expect. Top-Tier Service Issues can happen, even on the best platforms. The difference lies in how quickly and effectively those issues are resolved. A good sportsbook doesn't just offer a help centre—it provides live support from real people who understand the product. Top-tier customer service now includes: 24/7 chat with trained representatives, Clear and useful help documentation, Fast turnaround on withdrawals and account checks, Guidance on responsible gaming tools and account settings. Keeping Pace with Sports Betting News Finally, a good sportsbook in 2025 stays current. It reflects the pace of live sports and the energy of the broader betting market. That means timely updates, fresh promotions, and content that reflects ongoing storylines in sports betting news. Many platforms now highlight: Trending bets and popular picks of the day, News-driven odds shifts tied to injury reports or trades, Social features showing where the public is betting, Daily content tied to headline events and media narratives. The New Standard for Bettors in 2025 In a crowded market, good sportsbooks are setting the standard by doing the basics well—and then building on them with features that make betting smarter, safer, and more engaging. From real-time tools and expert content to secure platforms and wide market access, these qualities define success in 2025. As sports betting continues to grow, the demand for trustworthy, informative, and flexible platforms will only rise. For any sportsbook aiming to lead, meeting those expectations is no longer optional—it's essential.

Coastal Carolina uses 3-run 8th inning to beat Arizona 7-4 in CWS opener, extend streak to 24 games
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Coastal Carolina broke open a tie game with three runs in the eighth inning, Dominick Carbone shut down an Arizona threat in the ninth, and the Chanticleers opened the College World Series with a 7-4 victory Friday. The Chanticleers (54-11) extended their winning streak to 24 games in their first appearance in Omaha since they beat Arizona in the 2016 finals. They'll play Sunday against the winner of Friday night's game between Louisville and No. 8 national seed Oregon State. Arizona (44-20), in the CWS for the first time since 2021, will play the Louisville-Oregon State loser on Sunday. Coastal Carolina scored single runs in the fifth and sixth innings to forge a 4-all tie with the Wildcats and took the lead in the eighth after reliever Garrett Hicks (5-1) retired the first two batters. Wells Skyes sliced a ball just inside the right-field line for a double and Caden Bodine was intentionally walked before Sebastian Alexander singled in the go-ahead run. Arizona closer Tony Pluta came on and gave up Blake Barthol's two-run double. The Wildcats had runners on the corners with none out in the ninth. Carbone struck out pinch-hitter Dom Rodriguez and then got Brendan Summerhill to hit into a game-ending double play. The Chanticleers of the Sun Belt Conference arrived with the most wins and on the longest winning streak ever entering a CWS. Gary Gilmore, who coached the 2016 national championship team and retired after last season, accepted Coastal Carolina coach Kevin Schnall's invitation to fly with the team to Omaha. He watched the game from the stands. Chanticleers reliever Cameron Flukey (8-1) went four innings in relief of Riley Eikhoff and allowed two runs on two hits and a walk. Coastal Carolina finished with 14 hits against four pitchers. Blagen Pado, who entered the NCAA Tournament batting .225, continued his postseason tear. He went 2 for 4 and is now 10 of 21 (.476) with three homers and eight RBIs over six tournament games. Arizona's Mason White hit his 20th homer of the season, and 49th of his career, in the fourth inning, with Alexander leaping at the left-field fence and having the ball soar just over his outstretched glove. The Wildcats' Owen Kramkowski, coming off his worst start of the season in an 18-2 loss at North Carolina in Game 1 of super regionals, scattered nine singles and a walk while giving up three runs in five innings. He struck out seven. ___ AP college sports:
