Rogersville beats Blair Oaks, advances to state semifinals
ROGERSVILLE, Mo–The Logan Rogersville Wildcats did not let the day long rain damper their playoff spirit.
Thursday night, the Wildcats hosted Blair Oaks in a Class 4 quarterfinal.
The Falcons knocked Log Rog out of the playoffs a year ago.
So Rogersville was after revenge and their 30th win of the season.
But Blair Oaks would strike first in the first, Vander Halford singles to left, Jaden Rackers slides across safely, it's 1-0 Falcons.
Rogersville would tie it up in the bottom half, Jackson Purse with the grounder to second, Jack Sutherland scores on the fielder's choice, it's 1-1.
Blair Oaks would retake the lead in the third, Nolan Laughlin with the infield hit to short, Warren Davis scores and it's 2-1 Falcons.
The Wildcats tie it back up in the fifth, Sutherland with the single to center, that scores Lucas White and it's 2-2.
And Rogersville would win it in the ninth inning on a Zach Watt's single and the Wildcats advance to the state semfinals 3-2.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- Maddox Mihalakis drove in three runs, including two with a go-ahead single in the seventh inning, and Arizona defeated North Carolina 10-8 on Saturday, forcing a deciding game in the Chapel Hill Super Regional. Game 3 is Sunday. The Wildcats trailed 8-6 in the seventh inning but rallied with four runs. With two on and one out, Brendan Summerhill doubled down the left field line to score one run while Easton Breyfogle advanced to third. Breyfogle then scored on a wild pitch by Walter McDuffie to tie the score. After a couple of walks loaded the bases, Mihalakis drove in two with a single to right field off of Folger Boaz. Tony Pluta (3-0) pitched 2 1/3 scoreless innings for the win. McDuffie (3-2) took the loss. The Tar Heels trailed 6-4 in the top of the seventh before scoring four runs to take the lead. Tyson Bass hit a three-run home run and Jackson Van De Brake drew a bases-loaded walk. Tommy Splaine hit a two-run home run for Arizona. North Carolina (46-14) is playing in a super regional for the 12th time, having advanced eight times previously. It is Arizona's sixth super regional and the Wildcats (43-19) have won four of their previous five.

What channel is UNC-Arizona on? Time, TV schedule for Chapel Hill Super Regional Game 2
What channel is UNC-Arizona on? Time, TV schedule for Chapel Hill Super Regional Game 2 Here's all the broadcasting information you need to know for Game 2 of the Chapel Hill Super Regional between UNC and Arizona. The North Carolina Tar Heels and Arizona Wildcats faced off Friday afternoon in the Chapel Hill Super Regional from Boshamer Stadium, with each baseball program looking to inch one step closer to the College World Series. UNC entered Game 1 off a dominant, 14-4 victory over Oklahoma in Monday's winner-take all game of the Chapel Hill Regional. Arizona entered Game 1 red-hot, having previously won its last eight contests. Something had to give – and one team left fighting for its life. Thanks to scoring eight runs in the first two innings against Wildcats starter Owen Kramkowski, North Carolina left their home field ecstatic with an obliterating, 18-2 victory. Arizona (42-19) actually started the scoring part in its half of the first inning, thanks to an Adonis Guzman single. Guzman was a lone bright spot for the Wildcats on Friday, hitting a perfect 4-for-4. The Diamond Heels quick punched back in their half of the first inning, tying the score on a Luke Stevenson single. Gavin Gallaher continued his tear with an ensuing single, giving UNC a 2-1 lead it never relinquished, while Hunter Stokely delivered a 3-run home run for the eventual, game-winning runs. Though offense was the name of North Carolina's game, we need to give Jake Knapp his flowers. The Diamond Heels' ace escaped some early trouble, allowing just two runs through seven innings. If UNC can replicate some of Friday's success during Game 2 Saturday, it'll be heading to Omaha for the second-consecutive season. If the Wildcats win, there will be a winner-take all Game 3 on Sunday. Are you lucky enough to watch Game 2 in person? Have a blast and continue filling the stands with Carolina Blue.

Former Kentucky Great Has Words About NIL: 'I'm Glad I Didn't Play in That Era'
Former Kentucky Great Has Words About NIL: 'I'm Glad I Didn't Play in That Era' originally appeared on Athlon Sports. When John Wall talks, Big Blue Nation listens. On a recent appearance on Sunday Mornings with Matt & Myron, former Kentucky Wildcat and NBA All-Star John Wall dropped an unexpected take on the hottest topic in college sports: NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness). In a world where top recruits like Cooper Flagg are rumored to earn upward of $28 million, Wall, arguably the face of the Kentucky basketball resurgence in 2009 says he's thankful he missed the NIL boom. Advertisement 'For me, I'm glad I didn't come up in that era, you know what I mean?' Wall said. That's not something you hear often, especially from a player who would've been one of college basketball's highest earners in the NIL era. At Kentucky, Wall was the star. His signature dances and high-flying dunks helped catapult UK back into national relevance and led to being a No. 1 NBA Draft pick in 2010. While acknowledging the positives, Wall made it clear that NIL has its challenges too. 'I think it's great… but they gotta do like some boundaries with some of it… not like everybody jumping in the portal every year trying to just search for money.' Advertisement The former Wildcat's perspective brings a fresh voice to the NIL conversation. Wall is someone who respects the evolution of the game but is also wary of how it affects the spirit of college basketball. He even admitted that while he wouldn't trade his time at UK, cashing in would've been 'crazy.' 'That would be dope… how much I would have gotten from NIL for sure.' Wall's influence remains strong in Lexington. He revealed he's been invited by new head coach Mark Pope to work out with the current squad this summer and promises a return to Rupp Arena is coming soon. 'Kentucky's always home for me… I'm definitely coming back.' Advertisement As the NIL era continues to reshape the college sports landscape, John Wall's honest reflection is a reminder: some legends were built without a price tag and that may be what makes them truly priceless.
