B3 - Florida State 1, Oregon State 0
The Seminoles have four hits and have had a lot of activity on the bases, but they lead by only one run as one runner was thrown out at the plate. Oregon State doesn't have a hit through two innings. Imagn Images
B7 - Louisville 8, Miami 1
The Hurricanes leave two more runners on base, and that has been the theme of this game. The Cardinals have made the most of their chances. The Hurricanes have not.
Our third straight game today featuring an ACC team. It's Florida State at Oregon State. The game is set for a 6 p.m. ET start and will be broadcast by ESPN2. Imagn Images
B6 - Louisville 8, Miami 1
Patrick Forbes with a solid outing to get Louisville off to a strong start this weekend. Forbes went 5-2/3 and allowed one run with a runner on first base who is his responsibility. Forbes struck out nine to more than offset his four walks.
Brennyn Cutts takes the mound for the Cardinals, who appear to be in complete control, and he gets out of the inning with a quick ground ball. Nice work from the Louisville pitching staff today.
T5 - Louisville 8, Miami 1
This game has slowed to a halt, but the Cardinals just keep scoring runs. Jake Munroe is up to five RBIs with a sac fly to right field, and the Cardinals' lead is back up to seven runs.
Miami has gotten runners on, but it has struggled to get them home. That has been the difference in this game. Imagn Images
B4 - Louisville 8, Miami 1
The Hurricanes had a chance to cut into the Cardinals' lead with runners on second and third with two outs. But Patrick Forbes gets out of another jam with a strikeout to end the inning.
Forbes has allowed three hits and walked four, but he has seven strikeouts. It hasn't been pretty or easy, but it's working.
Things are spiraling out of control for Miami. The Canes were on the verge of getting out of a bases-loaded, one-out jam in the bottom of the third, but pitcher AJ Ciscar's throw home sailed wide to the right. Instead of a double play, two runs scored for Louisville. The next batter, Jake Munroe, drilled a three-run home run to put Louisville on top 7-1. Those are the types of mistakes teams cannot make — especially on the road — to win a Super Regional. Imagn Images
B3 - Louisville 7, Miami 1
A double, an intentional walk and a hit batter loaded the bases, and then Miami helped Louisville's cause with an error on a throw to the plate that would have gotten the second out. Two runs scored on the bad throw, and then Jake Munroe blasted a three-run shot over the left-center field wall.
The Cardinals have five runs in the inning, and they're not done yet.
B3 - Louisville 2, Miami 1
The Hurricanes get their first run of the weekend on a sacrifice fly, and Louisville starting pitcher Patrick Forbes is working hard early in this one. Forbes has six strikeouts through three innings, but he has allowed two hits and walked three.
It hasn't been pretty, but it mostly has been effective.
B2 - Louisville 2, Miami 0
After the Cardinals kept Miami off the board in the top of the inning, right fielder Garrett Pike leads off the bottom of the second with an opposite-field home run to put Louisville on top...
...and Jake Munroe follows that up with a home run of his own to straightaway center field!
Louisville strikes first in back-to-back fashion off Miami's AJ Ciscar, and the Cardinals have all the early momentum in this one. Louisville Baseball / X
Mid 2 - Miami 0, Louisville 0
After Louisville's Patrick Forbes issues back-to-back walks and a hit batter to load the bases with one out, he responds with back-to-back strikeouts to get out of the inning!
A big missed opportunity for the Hurricanes as Forbes roars along with the Cardinals home crowd while skipping off the mound. We're still scoreless through 1.5 innings in Louisville. Imagn Images

First pitch of Miami-Louisville was initially scheduled for 3 p.m. ET but has been moved back to 3:36 p.m. due to some rain. Still, a solid turnout from Louisville fans after the Cardinals took advantage of a stunning collapse from No. 1 overall seed Vanderbilt to win the Nashville regional.

Scottie Scheffler has frustrating day at the US Open to fall 7 shots off the pace

Updated [hour]:[minute] [AMPM] [timezone], [monthFull] [day], [year] OAKMONT, Pa. (AP) — Scottie Scheffler kept coming back to the same answer when asked in different ways how a day that began with optimism at the U.S. Open turned into a 5 1/2-hour slog that left him well off the front page of the leaderboard. 'I've probably got to give myself a few more looks,' the world's top-ranked player said Thursday after a 3-over 73 left him seven shots behind front-runner J.J. Spaun . Scheffler was talking about looks for reasonable birdie putts. Those didn't happen nearly enough during 5 1/2 often arduous hours at Oakmont. As for plain old 'looks,' however, well the three-time major winner had those in abundance. Looks of frustration, like when his drive on the par-5 12th landed in the middle of a fairway that slopes massively from left to right and kept rolling, and rolling, and rolling until it was in the first cut of the course's signature ankle-deep rough. Looks of bafflement, like when his 6-foot par putt at the par-3 13th slid by, causing him to put his hand over his mouth and turn to caddie Ted Scott as if to say, 'What just happened?' Looks of anger, like when his wedge from 83 yards on the easy (by Oakmont standards) par-4 14th landed 40 feet past the hole. Scheffler slammed the club into the ground before collecting himself to two-putt. Looks of annoyance. When his 12-foot birdie attempt at the par-4 17th lipped out, Scheffler bent over, pressed his hands on his knees and appeared to sigh before standing back up. That doesn't even include what he described as 'sloppy' bogeys on the par-4 third and par-5 fourth, when he found the sand off the tee. It added up to tying his worst opening round in a major ever. He did that at the 2021 Masters, a year before he began a run of dominance not seen since Tiger Woods' prime two decades ago. Heck, he even managed a 1-under 69 at Oakmont as a 19-year-old amateur in 2016. Nine years later, Scheffler's life is very different. When he walked out of the scoring area in the late spring twilight, toddler son Bennett and wife Meredith and other members of his family were waiting. The course, however, remains the same physically and mentally draining task it has always been. There's a reason Scheffler teed off at 1:25 p.m. and didn't tap in for par on 18 until 6:52 p.m. even though there wasn't a hint of rain, or wind or any other external factors to gum up the works. There was only Oakmont being Oakmont. The fairways that Spaun navigated to a 4-under 66 in the morning dried up throughout the kind of muggy, sun-baked day that's been uncommon during Western Pennsylvania's very cool and very wet spring. Scheffler only made two putts over 10 feet, none over the final seven holes and three-putted the par-3 13th. How? He has no idea. Yet he also knows one middling round doesn't necessarily ruin his chances of winning the third leg of the grand slam. Play a little 'sharper' in the second round, and he thinks he might be in a better position come the weekend. 'When you're playing these types of tests that are this challenging, there's usually still a way to score,' he said. He might to find them sooner rather than later. In each of Scheffler's 16 PGA Tour victories, he found himself inside the top 30 after 18 holes. He'll be outside that number when he puts his tee in the ground at No. 10 on Friday morning to start his second round. 'I'll clean up some of those mistakes, a couple three putts and stuff like that,' he said. 'And I think tomorrow will be a better day.' ___ AP golf:

2025 U.S. Open odds, predictions: Favorites, picks from the field

The 125th U.S. Open tees off on Thursday, and bettors are diving into the action of the season's third major tournament. Currently, No. 1-ranked Scottie Scheffler is the clear favorite at +275. It's been 16 years since a player was favored this heavily in the lead up to the tournament. The last was Tiger Woods at +175 in 2009. Will Scheffler — who's never won the U.S. Open — be victorious at Oakmont Country Club? Here are the latest odds at DraftKings Sportsbook as of June 10. Scottie Scheffler: +275 (bet $10 to win $37.50 total)Bryson DeChambeau: +750 (bet $10 to win $85 total)Jon Rahm: +1200 (bet $10 to win $130 total)Rory McIlroy: +1200 (bet $10 to win $130 total)Xander Schauffele: +2200 (bet $10 to win $230 total)Collin Morikawa: +2500 (bet $10 to win $260 total)Joaquin Niemann: +3000 (bet $10 to win $310 total)Ludvig Aberg: +3000 (bet $10 to win $310 total)Tommy Fleetwood: +3500 (bet $10 to win $360 total)Tyrrell Hatton: +4500 (bet $10 to win $460 total)Shane Lowry: +4500 (bet $10 to win $460 total)Justin Thomas: +4500 (bet $10 to win $460 total)Sepp Straka: +5000 (bet $10 to win $510 total)Brooks Kopeka: +5500 (bet $10 to win $560 total)Patrick Cantlay: +5500 (bet $10 to win $560 total)Corey Conners: +6000 (bet $10 to win $610 total)Viktor Hovland: +6000 (bet $10 to win $610 total)Russell Henley: +6500 (bet $10 to win $660 total)Ben Griffin: +7000 (bet $10 to win $710 total)Jordan Spieth: +7000 (bet $10 to win $710 total)Hideki Matsuyama: +7000 (bet $10 to win $710 total) While Scheffler is the clear favorite to win at Oakmont, reigning US Open champion Bryson DeChambeau is second at +750. DeChambeau won in 2024 by one stroke over Rory McIlroy, and if DeChambeau wins again this weekend, it will be the first time that there has been a back-to-back champion since Brooks Koepka's victories in 2017 and 2018. Rounding out the top three are Jon Rahm and McIlroy at +1200. At this year's PGA Championship, Rahm was tied for the lead with only seven holes left. However, he ended up finishing T-8. McIlroy, on the other hand, has captured a major this season, winning the Masters at Augusta earlier this year. Further down the list as a long shot is Jordan Spieth at +7000. He won this tournament back in 2015 at Chambers Bay.
