LSU reveals starting pitcher for College World Series opener vs. Arkansas
LSU reveals starting pitcher for College World Series opener vs. Arkansas LSU baseball named a starting pitcher for its College World Series opener vs. Arkansas. As expected, lefty Kade Anderson will get the ball. Anderson has served as LSU's all year. In 17 starts, Anderson is 10-1 with a 3.58 ERA in 103 innings. Anderson's 163 strikeouts rank second in the country, only behind Tennessee's Liam Doyle. After Saturday, Anderson will lead the nation in strikeouts. LSU already met Arkansas once this year, taking two of three from the Razorbacks in April. Anderson went 5.2 innings, allowing seven hits and three earned runs. Anderson struck out 10 and walked just one. Two of Anderson's three allowed runs came off the long ball.

Indiana Fever clear Caitlin Clark for WNBA return
Indiana Fever clear Caitlin Clark for WNBA return On the eve of the Indiana Fever's (4-5) high-profile Saturday matchup against the New York Liberty (9-0), head coach Stephanie White provided a promising update on guards Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham's recovery status. Clark has been out since suffering a left quadriceps strain against the Liberty on May 24, while Cunningham has been absent with a right ankle injury sustained during the team's May 31 loss to the Connecticut Sun. On Friday, White informed the mass of reporters that both Clark and Cunningham would be available for the team on Saturday, barring any unexpected regression in their final tune-ups. Despite the positive recovery news for Clark and Cunningham, White also said the team is expected to be without forward DeWanna Bonner, who has been away for personal reasons. With the extended rest for both Clark and Cunningham, as the two were held out of Tuesday's game in Atlanta, the reintegration of the star guards should significantly help the Fever's offensive efficiency, as Indiana has averaged 77.6 points per game during Clark's absence and 74 points per game following Cunningham's injury. Saturday's game against the undefeated Liberty squad will be held at 2 p.m. CT from Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis as part of WNBA Commissioner's Cup action. The premier matchup between the two talented franchises will be broadcast on ABC.

Wisconsin football top class of 2026 target unveils finalists, upcoming commitment date
Wisconsin football top class of 2026 target unveils finalists, upcoming commitment date Wisconsin football made the top four schools for four-star class of 2026 safety Messiah Tilson on Wednesday. The Badgers were included along with Kentucky, Minnesota and Rutgers. In addition to his final schools, Tilson revealed that he will announce his commitment decision on Monday, June 16, at 5:30 ET, 4:30 CT. Tilson is one of Wisconsin's high-priority targets in the class of 2026. He's currently ranked as the No. 434 overall player in the class, the No. 39 safety and the No. 11 recruit from Illinois. The Rockford, Illinois, native was on campus in Madison, Wisconsin, for an official visit in late April, preceding trips to Kentucky (June 3), Rutgers (June 6) and Minnesota (June 13). While the Badgers seemed to be in a strong position in Tilson's recruitment entering June, 247Sports recently unveiled a crystal ball prediction favoring Rutgers. The prediction, which was given with a 'medium' confidence level, directly followed his official visit to Piscataway, New Jersey. Wisconsin's class of 2026 currently ranks No. 38 nationally with 11 players committed. The program has seen several top targets commit elsewhere as of late, headlined by four-star edge rusher McHale Blade choosing Michigan. As of June 12, it appears Tilson is poised to join that list.
