Edmonton avoids a painful repeat, and Texas stuns Texas Tech late
The Pulse Newsletter 📣 | This is The Athletic's daily sports newsletter. Sign up here to receive The Pulse directly in your inbox. Good morning! Refuse that intentional walk today. We can quibble with quantitative analyses and details later. But watching Game 1 of both the Stanley Cup Final and the Women's College World Series championship last night left me with the best eye test result you can hope for in these situations: It feels like the two best teams are playing each other at the end. Advertisement Truly a wonderful thing. No flukes. Best-on-best, and last night's winners were decided on singular moments: We must start with a scintillating hockey game in Edmonton, where the Oilers — losers of last year's Stanley Cup Final against this same Panthers team — took a 1-0 series lead with a 4-3 overtime win. Florida was up 3-1 early in the second in this one, too. Here's the game winner from Leon Draisaitl with just 31 seconds left in the overtime period: LEON DRAISAITL IS EDMONTON'S HERO 🔥 The Oilers rally back from a 3-1 deficit to take Game 1 in OT! 🎥 @Sportsnet — The Athletic (@TheAthletic) June 5, 2025 Avoid a 3-0 deficit this year? ✅ On the diamond, we saw an intentional walk gone awry win the game for Texas. It was wild. Texas Tech, fueled by star pitcher NiJaree Canady, had a 1-0 lead in the sixth inning when the Red Raiders decided to give Reese Atwood a free bag with two runners on base. The problem was that Atwood refused the offer: After review, this pitch was obstructed by @atwood_reese bat. #HookEm | 📺: ESPN — Texas Softball (@TexasSoftball) June 5, 2025 That was essentially the game. Longhorns up 1-0 in the series. Let's keep moving: Just a few weeks ago, Loïs Boisson was mostly known for a deodorant incident. Boisson, the 22-year-old French tennis revelation, began this year's French Open ranked No. 361 in the world. She had been aching for this opportunity to play in front of French fans, one year after a brutal injury forced her to forgo a wild-card spot in the tournament. This morning, Boisson is a phenomenon. The last remaining French player in the tournament, facing world No. 2 Coco Gauff for a spot in the final. A quick introduction: Victory is a great cologne, and Boisson is much more than the victim of some petty routine. Today's match against Gauff is a must-watch. More on that later, but I recommend listening to 'The Tennis Podcast' on Boisson before she takes the court. Catch that here. Former IU players file sexual assault suit More than a dozen former Indiana men's basketball players have accused former team physician Dr. Bradford Bomba of sexual assault during his decades of work at the school. Two former Hoosiers, Haris Mujezinovic and Charlie Miller, filed suit in October against the university and head trainer Tim Garl, alleging both had knowledge of Bomba's actions and the school 'acted with deliberate indifference' toward his behavior. Two other players joined the suit in April, and yesterday an attorney told The Athletic at least 10 more players plan to come forward. Bomba died in May, and some players have said legendary Hoosiers coach Bob Knight was aware of Bomba's alleged impropriety. More details in our full report. Advertisement Manfred regrets ESPN opt-out The messy breakup between MLB and ESPN has moved past the anger stage and into nostalgia, as commissioner Rob Manfred said yesterday he regrets the move. Sources told The Athletic's Evan Drellich and Andrew Marchand that the league is in negotiations with multiple networks over the rights ESPN once had, and the packages are nowhere near the value of ESPN's offering. Manfred hopes to have a rights deal finalized soon. See his full comments. More news 📫 Love The Pulse?

Betting site bans individual over heckling incident with Olympic champion sprinter Gabby Thomas
A sports bettor who heckled Olympic champion sprinter Gabby Thomas during a Grand Slam Track event in Philadelphia over the weekend has been banned by the betting site FanDuel Sportsbook. In a statement sent to The Associated Press on Wednesday, FanDuel wrote it 'condemns in the strongest terms abusive behavior directed towards athletes. Threatening or harassing athletes is unacceptable and has no place in sports. This customer is no longer able to wager with FanDuel.' Last weekend, Thomas finished fourth in a 100-meter race won by Melissa Jefferson-Wooden. The bettor wrote in a post on social media that he 'made Gabby lose by heckling her. And it made my parlay win.' He posted a picture of his parlay that had Jefferson-Wooden winning the 100. Thomas, the 200-meter champion at the Paris Games last summer, explained the heckling incident on X. She wrote: 'This grown man followed me around the track as I took pictures and signed autographs for fans (mostly children) shouting personal insults – anybody who enables him online is gross.' Grand Slam Track, a track league launched by Hall of Fame sprinter Michael Johnson this spring, wrote in a statement it was 'conducting a full investigation into the reprehensible behavior captured on video. 'We are working to identify the individual involved and will take appropriate action as necessary. We will implement additional safeguards to help prevent incidents like this in the future. Let us be clear, despicable behavior like this will not be tolerated.' ESPN first reported the bettor had been banned by FanDuel. The Grand Slam Track season wraps up with the fourth and final meet in Los Angeles on June 28-29. The Thomas incident is the latest in a string of stalking and abuse of female athletes. Frida Karlsson, a Swedish cross-country skiing world champion, recently brought her experience with stalking into public view when she went through a trial. A man in his 60s was given a suspended sentence and ordered to pay 40,000 kronor ($4,100) in damages after being convicted of stalking Karlsson for a year and four months, according to Swedish news agency TT. The man, according to the indictment, called Karlsson 207 times, left her voicemails and text messages and approached her, including outside her apartment. In February, police in the United Arab Emirates detained a man who caused British tennis player Emma Raducanu distress by exhibiting ' fixated behavior ' toward her at a tennis tournament. Raducanu had been approached by the man at the Dubai Championships where he left her a note, took her photograph and engaged in behavior that caused her distress, according to the government of Dubai's media office.

Westmoreland County attorney Robert Klingensmith dies days after bloody standoff with police
Robert Klingensmith, the Westmoreland County attorney who shot himself during a bloody standoff with police over the weekend, has died. Police said Klingensmith shot and wounded himself in his office before they tased him for ignoring repeated demands to stop moving while they served a search warrant. It was all caught on camera. According to the Allegheny County Medical Examiner's Office, Klingensmith, 61, died on Wednesday afternoon from the self-inflicted injury. Klingensmith had been charged with theft and exploiting an older or care-dependent person. The district attorney's office said Klingensmith was the representative for a woman who died, and that Klingensmith failed to pay money from this woman's estate to her heirs. Instead, officials say he transferred more than $300,000 from the woman's account to his personal account.
