Mississippi State beats Northeastern 11-2 to end the Huskies' NCAA-leading 27-game win steak
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Joe Powell drove in four runs, including a two-run homer, freshman Ryan McPherson pitched four innings of scoreless relief and Mississippi State beat Northeastern 11-2 on Friday night in the Tallahassee Regional to end the Huskies' NCAA-leading 27-game win streak.
It was Northeastern's first loss since April 6 against Campbell.
Powell hit a shot off the scoreboard in left field to take a 7-2 lead in the third inning and give Mississippi State a single-season record 98 home runs.
Noah Sullivan hit Mississippi State's 99th in the ninth.
Gatlin Sanders doubled in a run in the eighth, after Ross Highfill also doubled, to make it 8-2. It was Sanders' 41st hit of the season — and just his fifth extra-base hit.
Mississippi State (35-21) will play host Florida State on Saturday. Northeastern (48-10) will play a must-win game against Bethune-Cookman.
McPherson and starter Ben Davis did not allow a Northeastern leadoff batter to reach base. The Huskies were limited to just five hits — their fewest since April 29.
Northeastern's win streak was the longest in the NCAA since Fairfield's 27 in 2021.
Mississippi State also had a long streak come to an end after Ace Reese went 0 for 4 to snap a 22-game hit streak — the third longest active streak in the NCAA.

Travis Kelce Gives Bad Bunny a Scare in ‘Happy Gilmore 2' Trailer: Watch
Adam Sandler is back on the green for Happy Gilmore 2 — and Travis Kelce is keeping him on his toes. Sandler, 58, along with costars Julie Bowen and Christopher McDonald, appeared during Netflix's 2025 Tudum special on Saturday, May 31, to field some questions about the upcoming sequel and reveal the movie's full length trailer. "Happy Gilmore sucks now?" a fellow golfer asks in amazement in the opening moments of the teaser as he watches the once-prolific golfer (Sandler) fall on his face while trying to swing a club. "Eat a back of d**ks!" Sandler replies in typical Happy fashion. The trailer reveals that years after becoming a legend on the green, Happy has stopped playing golf and has seemingly lost his touch. When his daughter (played by Sandler's real life daughter Sadie) wants to attend ballet school, Happy and his wife, Virginia (Bowen), realize the only way they'll be able to afford her dreams is if Happy returns to the game he thought he left behind. Adam Sandler Wanted Travis Kelce to Play His Son in 'Happy Gilmore 2' The teaser follows Happy and he tries to get back in the swing of things through practice, breaking in his new caddy (played by Bad Bunny), entering himself in a tournament, releasing some frustrations wi and even facing off with his longtime rival Scooter McGavin (McDonald). "You stole my life from me," Scooter says. "Why would I want to steal the life of someone who eats pieces of s*** for breakast?" Happy replies before the two square off in a graveyard. Elsewhere in the trailer, Kelce makes an appearance as a hotel worker who gives Bad Bunny a good old fashioned scare. "BOO!" Kelce yells in Happy's face, causing him to yelp in fear. Netflix announced in May 2024 that plans for a sequel were in the works. The original 1996 film follows Happy as he discovers his natural talent for golf after an unsuccessful career as an ice hockey player. After entering a golf tournament hoping to win money to save his grandmother's house from foreclosure, a trick shot wins him the championship, the girl — and his grandma's home back. A teaser trailer in March revealed that Happy Gilmore 2 would pick up with Happy as a dad and husband — and someone who thought golf was in the rearview mirror. 'We're not done with golf,' Bowen's Virginia tells Happy as they seemingly move out of their current home. 'Let them see the Happy I fell in love with.' The teaser also confirmed that Kelce would have a role in the film as what seems to be a hotel worker welcoming Happy back to his old stomping grounds. 'The whole thing was to get to hang out with Travis. That's why we put it together,' Sandler joked during an August 2024 episode of Kelce's 'New Heights' podcast. 'We're going there [to New Jersey]. Travis, by the way, thank you, I heard you talking about [Happy Gilmore 2] on your show, you guys.' Sandler confessed he had initially a special role in mind for the NFL star, but they ultimately decided not to pursue that direction. 'We were talking about you playing my son while we were writing it, literally, like, six months ago,' Sandler continued. 'We were like, imagine if Travis was my first baby, how funny that would be. Just a badass.' While many details of the Happy Gilmore 2 plot have been kept under wraps ahead of its release, new cast addition Kym Whitley gave Us Weekly exclusive insight into her experience working on the film. Christopher McDonald Teases Travis Kelce's 'Happy Gilmore 2' Cameo – Even If He's Team Josh Allen 'It's going to be hilarious,' Whitley told Us while attending the 16th Annual AAFCA Awards, in February. 'First of all, Adam Sandler, not only is he funny, is a great guy. When I say great, not only that he's just a great person, but he reaches back. He gets all his comic friends. He gives us all jobs, and he lets us play around with the script. He'll be like, 'Try it! Do this and that!'' Happy Gilmore hits Netflix on Friday, July 25.

Rangers deal Ornelas to Braves
The Texas Rangers have traded utility guy Jonathan Ornelas to the Atlanta Braves for cash considerations, it was announced today. Ornelas had been designated for assignment to make room for Michael Helman, who was claimed off waivers by the Rangers. Ornelas was the Rangers' third round pick in 2018. All four of the Rangers' first four picks — Cole Winn, Owen White, Ornelas and Mason Englert — have made the bigs, but have been fringe guys, with all but Winn having been designated for assignment at least once.
