Calvary Day preps for second-round playoff matchup
Calvary Day looks to advance to the state quarterfinals in back-to-back years. The Cavaliers looked dominant in their opening-round sweep. In the second game, Noah Bauer and Ryan Wallace combined for a no-hitter.
They will look for more solid pitching as they take on Whitefield Academy… A team that has won four of its last five contests.
'We just talked about it yesterday with our mental performance coach,' head coach Phillip Lee said. 'She kind of hit on, like, 'Hey, this is the playoffs and is it a new thing? Is it a continuation of the season and we kind of had mixed feelings. But you know, at the end of the day, it's win or go home from here on out. That's just something we've been trying to continue to press to our guys and they understand that.'
Calvary Day will play Whitefield Academy on May 1 at Islands High School. The first game of the doubleheader is scheduled for 4 p.m.

Rays call up shortstop Carson Williams, place Ha-Seong Kim on the IL with recurring back trouble
TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — The Tampa Bay Rays called up top shortstop prospect Carson Williams on Thursday before their series opener against the St. Louis Cardinals. The Rays made the move as they placed shortstop Ha-Seong Kim on the injured list with recurring back trouble. Manager Kevin Cash, speaking before the move was finalized, said he was eager to see Williams join the team. 'I am excited for sure,' Cash said. 'Carson, I give him a lot of credit. He had a great year last year, continued to put himself on the map, and after some early season struggles, he's really come out of it and done well lately for Durham.' Williams arrived at George M. Steinbrenner Field less than an hour gametime and was not in the lineup. He is expected to see his first action later in the series. The 21-year-old was selected with the 28th overall pick in the 2021 draft. Known for his strong glove and developing power, he earned a MiLB Gold Glove in High Single-A in 2022. At Triple-A Durham this season, Williams hit .213 with a .318 on-base percentage and .447 slugging percentage. He has 23 home runs, 55 RBIs and 22 stolen bases in 111 games, and is ranked among MLB Pipeline's top 50 prospects. For the Rays, the call-up marks a step toward the future in a season that has gone off track. Forced to play their home schedule at the Yankees' spring training ballpark after hurricane damage to Tropicana Field, the club has been beset by injuries and inconsistent play. They entered Thursday 61-66, in fourth place in the AL East and 12 1/2 games behind division-leading Toronto. Kim's injury created the opening. The shortstop was examined Wednesday and is expected to be shut down for several days. Cash said the club is optimistic Kim's stint on the injured list will be close to the minimum 10 days. ___

Private entrances, air conditioning and caviar carts: What it's really like in US Open's $10K+ seats
These aren't the cheap seats. While commoner tennis fans pay $150 to $230 for ground passes for the privilege of waiting in hours-long lines for entrance, Honey Deuces and bathrooms, the rich, famous and connected are enjoying a very different US Open — with four- and five-digit price tags. Many say the best experience is being up close to the action and sitting courtside, but it will cost you. Tickets are currently going for upwards of $21,000 on the United States Tennis Association (USTA) website. Advertisement 7 Celebs like Savannah Guthrie (left) and Jenna Bush-Hager love sitting in the front. GC Images 7 Jon Hamm and wife Anna Osceola areregular fixtures at the US Open. Annie Wermiel/NY Post Luca Mornet, 23, a full content-creator who lives in Manhattan, sat courtside last year after being invited by the shoe brand DSW. He gushes about the experience. Advertisement 'It was so much fun to be so close to the players,' he told The Post. 'You feel like you are about to get hit by the balls, but you aren't. And [you see] the runners get the balls and the referee, it's so cool.' Courtside is also where you are likely to rub shoulders with celebrities. Hugh Jackman, Michelle Obama and Savannah Guthrie regularly sit in the front sections. Some people sitting courtside also have access to a suite with private bathrooms. Others use the amenities — such as bathrooms and food stalls — on the stadium's Club Level, which are much less crowded than on other floors. Club Level tickets also include a private entrance into Arthur Ashe and a dedicated security line at the entrance to the tennis center. Last year, the Club Level concessions were the only place to get access to Cocodaq's buzzy $100 'Golden Set' featuring six chicken nuggets, Petrossian caviar and creme fraiche. This year Cocodaq will also have a stall in the food village. Advertisement 7 Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce had a suite time at the tournament last year. GC Images Some A-Listers prefer a suite experience — instead of, or in addition to, sitting courtside. The President's Suite is the closest thing Arthur Ashe Stadium has to the famed Royal Box at Wimbledon. Then invite-only, two-story space has a private entrance, an elaborate candy bar, a top-shelf open bar and even a ballroom inside the space for private dinner parties. Those lucky enough to go inside also get access to courtside seats with the best views in the stadium. Advertisement 7 The President's Suite is one of the most lavish places to sit. Dustin Satloff/USTA At last year's tournament, Alec Baldwin, Lin-Manuel MIranda, Anna Wintour, and Andy Roddick were among those who enjoyed the President's Suite. Another suite option is The Player Cafe, which is run by the USTA and includes courtside seats, a premium bar and a US Open gift. (Last year's offering was a custom towel and hat). Technically anyone willing to plunk down the cash can get access to The Player Cafe, but tickets — which start at $6,275 per person for early matches — have long been sold out. 7 In the Emirates suite, immaculately dressed flight attendants serve tennis fans food and drink in the same way they would in the airline's famously luxurious first class cabin.

Her parents had warned her about encountering terrible traffic and lines at the tournament, but her VIP experience didn't feature any such inconveniences. Advertisement A private car dropped her off at a private, back entrance to the stadium. 'We pulled right in, and as soon as we got there, an elevator took me to the suite,' she said. 'There was no heavy lifting, no experience of not knowing where I am going or getting lost.' The air conditioned suite, which was outfitted with wood paneling, white and navy furniture, and tennis memorabilia, had private bathrooms, a bartender serving Honey Deuce cocktails and Champagne. There was a lavish buffet, passed hors d'oeuvres and a whiskey tasting. 'Just when I thought it was over, they would come around with cookies shaped like tennis balls,' she recalled. 7 Content creator Caroline Maggs was lucky enough to be invited to the Ralph Lauren suite at last year's tournament.

'I can never go as a normie.'

Turning Point – Inter Milan Pivot To Signing Young Players From Abroad After Years Of Serie A Veterans
Inter Milan have reached a turning point in their transfer strategy, focusing on signing younger players and targeting outside Serie A. This is highlighted in today's print edition of Rome-based newspaper Corriere dello Sport, via FCInter1908. One thing that has been clear from Inter Milan this summer is that they are skewing younger in the transfer market. For several years, the Nerazzurri have heavily relied on veterans. Players like Francesco Acerbi and Henrikh Mkhitaryan have had key roles to play. This summer, by contrast, Inter have signed 21-year-old Petar Sucic, 23-year-old Luis Henrique, and 21-year-old Ange-Yoan Bonny. Clearly, the remit has become for Inter to focus on younger players. Not prioritizing proven experience. Inter Milan Pivot To Targeting Younger Players Outside Serie A UDINE, ITALY – APRIL 08: Piero. Ausilio, Sporting. Director o.f. FC Internazionale looks on prior to the Serie A TIM match between Udinese Calcio and FC Internazionale at Dacia Arena on April 08, 2024 in Udine, Italy. (Photo by) However, the Corriere note, Inter are not just shifting the focus to youth. The Nerazzurri are also appearing more open to signing players from other leagues. The majority of Inter's big signings in recent seasons have come from within Serie A. However, of the three players Inter have already signed this summer, two have come from outside of the Italian top flight. Then, Inter have targeted the likes of Ademola Lookman and Manu Lookman as high-profile Serie A targets. However, the Corriere notes, after missing out on those two, it now looks as though Inter will re-focus on signing players from abroad.
