James Castagnola's 3-run homer sparks UC Irvine in 8-3 victory over Fresno State in elimination game
LOS ANGELES (AP) — James Castagnola hit a two-out three-run homer in the second inning and UC Irvine never looked back in an 8-3 victory over Fresno State on Saturday in an elimination game of the Los Angeles Regional. No. 2 seed UC Irvine (42-16) awaits the loser of the nightcap between top-seeded host UCLA and No. 3 seed Arizona State in a Sunday elimination game. Fresno State finishes 31-29. Castagnola's homer came after Fresno State starter Aidan Cremarosa (6-6) hit Jacob McCombs leading off before walking Blake Penso with one out. McCombs hit a two-out solo shot in the third and Alonso Reyes walked and scored on a double play in the fourth for a 5-0 advantage. Lee Trevino singled in an unearned run that Anteaters reliever David Utagawa (2-0) inherited from starter Riley Kelly in the fourth and Eddie Saldivar hit a two-out solo homer off Utagawa in the fifth to get the Bulldogs within 5-2. McCombs, who went 3 for 4, singled in a run in the seventh and Colin Yeaman and Anthony Martinez had RBIs in the ninth for UC Irvine. Justin Stransky had an RBI single in the eighth off Anteaters reliever Max Martin, who replaced Utagawa after he allowed a leadoff single to Saldivar. Kelly surrendered two runs — one earned — on four hits in 4 2/3 innings. Martin allowed a hit in two scoreless innings to close it out. Cremarosa yielded five runs in six innings. Drew Townson followed and gave up three runs while retiring four batters. ___ AP college sports:

It's a beautiful Saturday in North Texas. Expect sunny skies ahead of possible storms early next week
Good Saturday morning! It's beautiful with sunny skies and drier air in place. Unfortunately, Dallas-Fort Worth has an Air Quality Alert. Those sensitive groups with upper respiratory issues will want to limit their time outdoors. But it's a great day to be poolside with afternoon highs in the mid to upper 80s. Riley and Maggie are enjoying their pool party! The First Weather Alert Team will be watching for a complex of storms to drop south from Oklahoma overnight into early Sunday morning. An isolated storm may produce gusty winds and small hail, mainly in the northeast areas. Any residual boundaries from the morning's convection could spark a few afternoon storms, mainly south of I-20. Once again, an isolated storm with small hail and gusty winds can't be ruled out. After a quiet Monday, the focus shifts to Tuesday evening when the next disturbance arrives. The Storm Prediction Center has highlighted areas west of I-35 for the potential of strong to severe storms. Keep the umbrellas handy next week with another unsettled pattern setting up and daily rain chances. Temperatures will remain near normal. Enjoy your Saturday!
