College World Series winners and losers: The best and worst from Day 3 in Omaha
OMAMA, NE ― Day 3 of the 2024 College World Series saw Coastal Carolina become the first team to punch its ticket to the semifinals. The Chanticleers rode a strong start from Jacob Morrison to a 6-2 win over Oregon State. Meanwhile, Louisville stayed alive with an 8-3 win over Arizona in a game that was closer than it seemed, as the Cardinals scored six runs in the eighth inning after facing a 3-2 deficit. Advertisement Louisville will face the Beavers in an elimination game June 17 (2 p.m. ET), with the winner advancing to the semifinals and needing to beat Coastal Carolina twice. Here were the winners and losers from Day 3 at Charles Schwab Field: WINNERS Small ball There were three home runs hit during Day 3 in Omaha: one by Arizona and two for Oregon State. Both of those teams lost. Louisville, which won the first game, had just one extra-base hit, a double. Coastal Carolina, the winner of the second game, had two doubles. The Chanticleers had two sacrifice bunts; Louisville had one sac and a bunt hit. The Cardinals also stole three bases and took advantage of errors. Mid-majors Unlike in basketball, where mid-major powerhouses often make the Final Four or even win titles, it's become increasingly difficult for mid-majors to do well in the College World Series. Advertisement Before Coastal Carolina's run, the last mid-major to compete in the semifinals in Omaha was also the Chanticleers in 2016, when they won the national title. Before that, the last teams to do it were Fresno State and San Diego in 2008, the former of which won the national title. Paul Skenes For a player who is notably playing in MLB currently and whose former team didn't play, Paul Skenes got some airtime on Day 3. First came the reports that Skenes, the former LSU pitcher and 2023 College World Series Most Outstanding Player, would be attending the Tigers' winners bracket game on June 16. Then, a graphic on the ESPN broadcast compared Coastal Carolina pitcher Jacob Morrison to Skenes. According to the graphic, those two pitchers had the most starts with six or more innings pitched and one or fewer runs allowed in the last five seasons. Morrison pitched 7⅔ innings of one-run ball against Oregon State. LOSERS Defense In the pitcher-friendly Charles Schwab Field, the impact of any defensive mistake is magnified. Oregon State and Arizona learned that lesson the hard way. Advertisement The Wildcats committed two errors and allowed four unearned runs amid a six-run eighth inning for Louisville. That included a throwing error by the shortstop on a routine play and the pitcher dropping the ball on a rundown at home plate. The Beavers also allowed four unearned runs thanks to two different errors, one that allowed Caden Bodine to reach to lead off the game and a second when Bodine hit what should've been an inning-ending double play in the fourth inning, but the second baseman booted the ball, leading to one run, and another run scored on a wild pitch afterwards. Hot mics During the College World Series, umpires are mic'd up. That helps make calls more clear, but several players didn't realize the mics were on and were audibly heard shouting expletives after at-bats that didn't go their way. Advertisement Program loyalty: Oregon State, Coastal Carolina baseball led by former players in College World Series 2025 The (former) Pac-12 The league formerly known as the Pac-12 made waves by getting three teams into Omaha, now in two different conferences and one independent, something that the actual Pac-12 hadn't done in decades. But one of those teams, Arizona, has already been eliminated, and Oregon State will face elimination after falling to Coastal Carolina. UCLA is in the winner's bracket, but will be a heavy underdog to LSU. Aria Gerson covers Vanderbilt athletics for The Tennessean. Contact her at agerson@ or on X @aria_gerson.

Cunha, Jesus score in 1st half as Botafogo holds on to beat Sounders 2-1 in Club World Cup
SEATTLE (AP) — Jair Cunha and Igor Jesus scored in the first half and Botafogo beat the Seattle Sounders 2-1 at the Club World Cup on Sunday night. Botafogo opened the scoring 28 minutes into the game as Cunha headed in a pass from Alex Telles. It came after a contentious yellow card to Nouhou Tolo gave the visitors a direct free kick just beyond the corner of the penalty box. Sounders players felt the call was unfair as there had been some unobserved jostling between Tolo and Artur before Tolo shoved his opponent to the ground. Botafogo doubled the lead in the first half's final minutes with another headed goal. Vitinho connected with his 24-year-old star teammate Igor Jesus, who sent a powerful header to the bottom corner. The Sounders played better in the second half, buoyed by their energetic subs. Four minutes after coming into the match, Paul Rothrock provided the assist for Christian Roldan's header in the 75th minute that deflected off Jesus. Key Moment The Sounders had two shots on target in a row in the final 30 seconds of stoppage time to try to tie the score, but the first was well blocked by a defender before John smothered Rothrock's attempt. Takeaways Seattle will now have to try to win points off the perceived titans of Group B, Atlético Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain to avoid going out in the group stage. Botafogo played good defense to hold onto its lead and is second in Group B on goal difference. What they said 'Obviously, they're a great team, and they put us under pressure in moments, but we matched them. The difference in the first half was just quality and a couple of key moments… I think if you looked at the statistics, you would say that Sounders were in a good spot, but obviously everything is the score line, and we couldn't find that second goal.' — Seattle Sounders head coach Brian Schmetzer 'The second half, in terms of our defense, it was not good. We didn't take possession and … Seattle scored a goal with some luck, but it was deserved.' — Botafogo head coach Renato Paiva ___ AP soccer:

What Scottie Scheffler blamed for uncharacteristic US Open struggles
OAKMONT, Pa. — Scottie Scheffler, the world's No. 1 ranked player, simply never got it going this week. Despite entering the U.S. Open as the overwhelming favorite to win, having won three of his previous four starts (including the PGA and the Memorial), Scheffler finished with an even-par 70 on Sunday to finish 4-over par. Scheffler, who leads the PGA Tour in bogey avoidance, had 17 of them (and a double), which is more than he has made in any PGA Tour event in his career. A low point to his day came on No. 3, where Scheffler three-putted for the sixth time of the tournament en route to a sloppy double bogey. 'I felt like I did some good things out there,'' Scheffler said. 'A few more putts drop today I think it's a little different story. My first three days, I felt like I was battling the whole time. Today I hit some shots. I hit some putts that I really thought were going in, hit some lips. It was just challenging. I was just right on the edge today. 'My main takeaway is I battled as hard as I did this week. I was really proud mentally of how I was over the course of four days. I did a lot of things out there that could really kind of break a week, and I never really got that one good break that kind of propels you. I'd hit it this far off, and seemingly every time I did, I was punished pretty severely for it.'' Scottie Scheffler reacts during the final round of the U.S. Open on June 15, 2025. AP Hours before the lead groups approached the 18th hole, Jon Rahm was the leader in the clubhouse at 4-over after shooting the low round of the day at 3-under 67. He got there with birdies on his final three holes and said the difference was his accurate driving. 'It's crazy because it doesn't feel like I played that different to every other round,'' Rahm said. Rory McIlroy equaled Rahm's 67, but he finished 7-over, which ended an impressive streak of four consecutive U.S. Opens that he's finished under par. McIlroy carded seven birdies in the first three rounds and six on Sunday. The par-3 eighth hole was playing 302 yards on Sunday, making it the longest par-3 in U.S. Open history. 'Luckily, it was downwind, I'll just say that,'' Rahm said. 'How do you approach that? You most likely pull the head cover off one of the clubs and then hope it goes straight. Today, I chose to hit a 5-wood. I think 3-wood I could have landed it closer to pin high.' Justin Hastings was the only one of 15 amateurs in the field to make the cut, so he was going to finish as the low amateur regardless of what he shot on the weekend. He finished 15-over after Sunday's final-round 76. 'It was such a treat just to be able to play in the U.S. Open and then let alone have the success to be able to call yourself low amateur,' said Hastings, a native of the Cayman Islands. 'It's something I'll hold onto for the rest of my life.'' Hastings earned his way into the Masters, U.S. Open and British Open fields by winning the Latin America Amateur Championship in January. Justin Hastings looks on during the final round of the U.S. Open on June 15, 2025. Getty Images 'That tournament, I can't even describe it with words how big it's been for me,'' he said. He said he plans to turn pro after the British Open next month. 'We want to get on the PGA Tour as soon as possible,'' he said. 'My coaches like to say that good golf takes care of all that, so we're going to focus on playing as well as we can, and when we get opportunities the next few months.'' Canadian Corey Conners withdrew before his final round was to begin with a wrist injury. The 33-year-old Conners, who was competing in his seventh U.S. Open, was scheduled to tee off at 10:20 a.m., paired with Ryan Fox, of New Zealand. He had his best finish in a U.S. Open last year, when he tied for ninth at Pinehurst, has a top 15 finish in all four major championships and has won twice on the PGA Tour. The injury reportedly occurred when Conners took a shot out of a bunker on Friday and his club got caught on a TV wire for a bunker camera.
