Along the way, Koss ran into Diamondbacks second baseman Jordan Lawlar. Umpires ruled that Lawlar had obstructed Koss. Due to that request, Koss was permitted to remain at second base.
The umpires- Nick Mahrley, Mark Ripperger, Edwin Jimenez, and Nic Lentz, conferred among themselves before arriving at the decision. Arizona manager Torey Lovullo did not concur. Lovullo got extremely upset and emerged from the dugout and disputed.

Mark Ripperger. But before leaving, Lovullo pointed at all four umpires and pretended to throw each of them out of the game by shouting and making the
'You're outta here!'
motion back at them.
This humorous incident was captured on film and spread virally across social media. The impression was that Lovullo was attempting to indicate to the umpires how he felt by pretending to perform the same thing that they just did to him.
Oracle Park was filled with reactions from the crowd, and supporters on social media thought the moment was both unexpected and humorous.

Following the game, which the Diamondbacks won 8–7, Torey Lovullo addressed reporters. He stated that he didn't get the play when it occurred.
"In the moment, it wasn't making sense to me," Torey Lovullo said to reporters. "I thought they were just trying to cover themselves a little bit."
This was Torey Lovullo's 22nd ejection in his career and his second of the season. But later, he conceded that the umpires did the right thing. "They got it right," he said.
"They're really good. Umpires are good. And I stand corrected."
Despite the drama, the game still finished with Arizona maintaining the lead. The humorous incident provided some unexpected laughter to a close and intense game.

Preity Zinta pens heartfelt note after PBKS lose IPL final to RCB: 'It didn't end the way we wanted it to'
After Punjab Kings' narrow defeat in the IPL 2025 final against Royal Challengers Bangalore, team co-owner Preity Zinta took to social media to share an emotional message, reflecting on a season full of highs and lows. Actor and PBKS owner Preity Zinta wrote on Instagram on June 6. "It didn't end the way we wanted it to but the journey was spectacular ! It was exciting, entertaining & it was inspiring. I loved the fight & the grit our young team, our shers showed through out the tournament. I loved the way our captain, our Sarpanch lead from the front & how Indian uncapped players dominated this IPL," she wrote. This year, Punjab Kings reached the IPL final for the first time in over a decade. Zinta described the season as 'unique', noting the team overcame multiple challenges — including injuries to key players, national call-ups, a pause in the tournament, and even having to relocate home games. 'This year was unique. We smashed records even though we lost key players to injury & national duty, witnessed a pause in the tournament, transferred home games to other states & evacuated a stadium ! We adapted & topped the points table after a decade & fought till the end in an exciting final,' she said. Zinta praised every player and thanked the support staff and fans for their unwavering belief. She wrote, 'I am so proud of each n every player of Punjab Kings for showing so much character throughout the tournament. A big thank you to each of them and to our support staff and everyone at PBKS for an incredible season. Most of all a HEARTFELT THANK YOU to our - SHER SQUAD - our FANS that stood with us through thick n thin.' Ending on a hopeful note, she promised a stronger comeback: 'Whatever we are & how far we have reached is all because of you. I promise we will come back to finish the job cuz as of now the job is still half done. See you next year in the stadium , till then take care n stay safe everyone. Love you all." Royal Challengers Bengaluru clinched their maiden IPL title with a narrow 6-run win over Punjab Kings in the final.

Police Complaint File Against Virat Kohli Over Bengaluru Stampede During RCBs IPL 2025 Victory Celebration
Two days after the Bengaluru stampede which claimed 11 lives near Chinnaswamy Stadium, a police complaint was lodged against former Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) captain Virat Kohli on Friday in Bengaluru over the incident. As per IANS News Agency report, the complaint was filed with the Cubbon Park police station by A.M. Venkatesh, representing the Naija Horatagaarara Vedike. The police have accepted the complaint, which seeks action against the celebrity cricketer. Venkatesh was informed that his complaint would be considered for investigation along with the FIR already lodged in this regard. The report further mentioned that the Karnataka Police, in the FIR lodged regarding the stampede, stated that the accused parties -- RCB franchise, event management firm DNA, and the KSCA Administrative Committee -- organised the victory celebration without the necessary permissions. The FIR has been registered under Sections 105 (culpable homicide not amounting to murder), 115(2) (voluntarily causing hurt), 118(1) (voluntarily causing hurt or grievous hurt by using dangerous weapons or means), 118(2) read with Section 3(5) (voluntarily causing grievous hurt, when the act is done by several persons in furtherance of common intention), 190 (unlawful assembly), 132 (criminal force to deter a public servant), 125(a) (filing false affidavit), and 125(b) (rash and negligent acts that endanger human life) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Meanwhile, two additional cases have been registered at the Cubbon Park police station regarding the stampede incident. Based on a complaint filed by Roland Gomes, who was injured in the stampede and treated as an inpatient at a hospital, a case has been filed against the RCB franchise, KSCA, and DNA under Section 125(a) of the BNS. In his complaint, Gomes said: "I saw the RCB post on social media and came with my friends to watch the celebration. It was announced that there would be a procession with an open bus. When I was entering through Gate Number 17, there was a huge rush, and my shoulder joint got dislocated." Notably, a stampede outside the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru during RCB's IPL 2025 victory celebrations killed 11 and injured many more on Wednesday. A day after the incident, Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah asked for the arrests of the officials of RCB, DNA and Karnataka State Cricket Association. The state government also superseded several top police officials, including Bengaluru Police Commissioner B Dayananda. The Bengaluru Police on Friday arrested senior Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) official Nikhil Sosale from the Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru on Friday, June 6, 2025. The Bengaluru Police, on Friday, arrested Royal Challengers Bengaluru's Head of Marketing and Revenue, Nikhil Sosale, from the Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru. Apart from Sosale, the employees of DNA Entertainment Network, Kiran Kumar (Senior Event Manager) and Sunil Mathew (Vice President - Business Affairs), were also arrested by the police. Meanwhile, a one-man judicial commission has also been formed to investigate the case. It is headed by retired Karnataka High Court judge Justice Michael D'Cunha. The commission has been asked to report in 30 days. Earlier, the state government as well as RCB announced a compensation of INR 10 lakh for the families of the deceased, while covering all medical expenses for the injured. The franchise have also created an 'RCB Cares' fund to support the injured.

Will Pick Stuart Broad's Brain On How He Got Certain Batters Out, Says Marco Jansen Ahead Of WTC Final
South Africa's left-arm fast-bowling all-rounder Marco Jansen said he plans to pick the brains of legendary England bowler Stuart Broad on how he used to dismiss certain batters prior to the start of the World Test Championship Final against Australia at Lord's on June 11. Broad will join the South Africa as a consultant on Monday, as the Temba Bavuma-led side ramps up its preparation for the one-off WTC final against defending champions Australia, captained by Pat Cummins. The former pacer is ranked fifth amongst most prolific Test bowlers with 604 scalps. "Obviously, he's played a lot against Australia at Lord's. Maybe I will pick his brain on what they did back then or what they did when he was playing to get certain batters out. And then, because I mean, you can ask all those questions and you can try and do it, but it doesn't mean it's going to work necessarily." "You might get a guy out with a ball that you never even planned bowling. So it's good to have the information. But like I said, once you're on the pitch on that day, you have to figure it out for yourself and then whatever plan you have or plan you think could work, just try and do that and you hope it pays off and you hope you execute well," Jansen was quoted as saying by ICC on Friday. Jansen is coming off an fruitful IPL stint with Punjab Kings, who finished as runners-up in the tournament. He worked under head coach Ricky Ponting and Jansen stated the former Australia captain had instilled great confidence in him about his bowling skills in IPL 2025. "Before I left (India), he (Ponting) just said 'good luck, I hope you do well, but I hope you lose'. I learnt a lot from him, especially from a mental point of view. He is always positive and he always sees the good stuff instead of the bad stuff, if it makes sense." "And I think that's why he's a legend of the game, because you always lean towards what could happen instead of what could go wrong. For me personally in the IPL, he's helped a lot in that regard, because he always reminds you what could be, what you can do and what could happen instead of what couldn't happen," he concluded.
