Cam Kozeal homers and drives in 4 to lead Arkansas past North Dakota St 6-2 in Fayetteville Regional
The Razorbacks (44-13), who were knocked out of regionals on their home field in 2023 and '24, improved to 33-4 this season at Baum-Walker Stadium and will play Saturday against the winner between Creighton and Kansas. The Summit League Tournament champion Bison (20-33) meet the Creighton-Kansas loser in an elimination game.
Kozeal's RBI double put Arkansas up 4-2 in the third inning and his two-run homer in the fifth, his team's program-record 111th, produced the final margin.
Aiden Jimenez, who has been the Razorbacks' bullpen ace, made his second start of the season. He gave up Colten Becker's tying homer in the second inning and left with two outs in the fourth.
Coil (3-0) scattered three hits and struck out four in 3 1/3 shutout innings, and Beidelschies allowed one hit and struck out four in two innings.
NDSU starter Nolan Johnson (4-6) went five innings and was charged with all six Arkansas runs.

Pilot tells passengers he's trusting his 'gut' and refuses to fly plane
Pilots have the final say on the aircraft Yet another pilot is in the headlines after refusing to fly a plane. This time, the pilot made the call as the passengers were boarding. According to a post from Ambitious_Station_41 on Reddit, passengers were in the midst of the boarding process when the captain emerged from the jet bridge. The pilot ordered the gate agent to suspend boarding. The pilot was familiar with the plane The captain explained that he flew the same plane from Miami to Atlanta the day before. He'd noticed the problem with the elevator, which is essential to controlling the up and down movements of the aircraft. The pilot said he'd put in a maintenance request, but when he checked the log, it said, 'no issue found.' The pilot was uncomfortable accepting the aircraft until maintenance was dispatched to the scene. Maintenance showed up and said the plane was good to go. A department supervisor explained that they'd spent nine hours of 'investigation and repairs' after the issue was reported yesterday. He said he was trusting his gut The captain announced he was rejecting the aircraft. He informed the passengers that he'd been flying with Delta for 25 years and spent over 20,000 hours flying 757s. He told the travelers he 'knows when something is wrong.' The pilot further explained that this is the first time he'd rejected an airplane in over ten years. He said he trusts maintenance 100% but he goes with his gut when his gut says 'things are not what they should be.' A new plane arrived on the scene The announcement was made both on the plane and at the gate. Many passengers erupted into applause to show how much they appreciated his concern for their safety. A gate change was announced, and the flight was able to depart within about an hour of its scheduled departure time. At the new gate, the captain said it had been 22 years since he'd rejected a plane. The first officer said it had been seven years for him. The situation is increasingly common This isn't the first incident in which a pilot has refused an aircraft. Recently, a pilot refused to fly to Hawaii due to issues with the fuel system, despite the aircraft being cleared. In another instance, a pilot refused to fly because he was worried he might fail a drug test after a passenger smoked pot in the forward lavatory. Can a pilot refuse to fly a plane? Pilots have the final say when it comes to flight safety. This means they have the right to refuse to fly an aircraft they deem unsafe, even if the airline is telling them otherwise. Factors they can take into consideration include maintenance issues, weather, the fitness of the crew to operate the aircraft, and unruly passengers. The moment the captain announced he wasn't "feeling it," and refused the plane to Hawaii was captured on video by @johnnyjet. See it here. Solve the daily Crossword

Broncos predicted to get off to hot start but who gives them their first loss?
Broncos predicted to get off to hot start but who gives them their first loss? originally appeared on The Sporting News The Denver Broncos are a team many see as one of the better teams in the AFC this coming season, and the schedule set up nicely for them in the first month, with the Tennessee Titans and Indianapolis Colts to start the season. Ali Bhanpuri and Adam Rank, two analysts over at recently made game-by-game picks for each team in the league. Broncos Country will love the thoughts of each of them. Bhanpuri has the Broncos finishing 11-6 on the season and becoming the AFC's top wild card. Rank does him one better, putting the Broncos at 12-5, winning the AFC West, and becoming the No. 2 seed in the AFC. Looking at things from a different perspective, John Breech of CBS Sports decided to predict when each team would lose its first game of the season. Breech has the Broncos getting off to a 3-0 start with wins over the Titans, Colts and on the road over the Los Angeles Chargers. But he suggests that the team will come back home in Week 4 and suffer its first loss at the hands of the Cincinnati Bengals. "This might end up being the best game of Week 4. These two teams gave us a shootout last season and it won't be surprising if we get another one with the Bengals pulling off the road upset", wrote Breech. The Broncos and Bengals played in one of the best games of the 2024 season, going shot for shot with major playoff implications on the line. The Bengals won the game 30-24 in overtime, dealing a blow to the Broncos' playoff hopes while significantly helping their own. While the Broncos were the team that took the last playoff spot, many fans felt that the Bengals should have been there instead. The Broncos will still have that loss fresh in their minds for this one and will be seeking a measure of revenge. READ: Broncos backup QB making case for team to repeat recent history The Bengals are built just like they were last year, with a high-powered offense and a lackluster defense. The Broncos improved on both sides of the ball and could have one of the league's best defenses, so they should have the advantage in this game.

Pasquantino and Witt back Lugo's stellar start, powering Royals to 5-2 win over Rangers
KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Vinnie Pasquantino homered in the first inning and then scored the go-ahead run in the seventh when Jonathan India was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded, helping the Kansas City Royals to a 5-2 win over the Texas Rangers on Tuesday night. Bobby Witt Jr. added a two-run shot in the eighth for his 100th career homer, and Mike Yastrzemski went deep for the Royals, who have won five straight and improved to 7-1 on their season-high 10-game homestand. Rangers reliever Hoby Milner (1-3) allowed three consecutive hits to start the seventh, including Pasquantino's double. Cole Winn then entered the game and hit India with his first pitch, giving Kansas City its first lead of the game. Angel Zerpa (4-1) got five outs for the Royals before John Schreiber took care of the ninth for his first save. Royals starter Seth Lugo and Rangers counterpart Merrill Kelly had matched each other pitch-for-pitch for most of the night. Lugo surrendered a homer to Corey Seager with two outs in the first, then allowed one more hit before Joc Pederson's homer in the fourth. Those were the only three hits that Lugo allowed, and he walked two while striking out five. Kelly gave up the homer to Pasquantino, which just scraped over the right-field wall, with two outs in the first. He did not allow another hit until Yastrzemski's shot into the right-field bullpen with two outs in the sixth. Those were the only two hits Kelly allowed over six innings. He struck out three without a walk. Key moment Jonah Heim led off the eighth for Texas with a single, but Zerpa got pinch-hitter Cody Freeman to ground into a double play. Key stat Kansas City is 5-0 against the Rangers this season. Up next The Rangers have not announced their starter for Wednesday after disclosing pregame that RHP Jacob deGrom would skip a turn due to shoulder fatigue. LHP Noah Cameron (7-5, 2.47 ERA) is due on the mound for Kansas City. ___ AP MLB:
