Super regionals roundup: Oregon State rallies late, stuns Florida State in 10
With the bases loaded and no outs in the bottom of the 10th, Florida State got a forceout at the plate before Singer stepped up and delivered a single to center, scoring Gavin Turley to win the opener of the best-of-three series.
Down to their last strike in the ninth, the Beavers got one run back on a wild pitch by reliever Joe Charles that scored Wilson Weber. Jacob Krieg followed with a game-tying two-run single to tie the game at 4.
Runs were few and far between early as both starters shined. Seminoles (41-15) starter Joey Volini tossed 6 2/3 innings of one-run ball and struck out eight. Beavers (46-13-1) starter Dax Whitney allowed one earned run and struck out 10 over 4 2/3 innings.
The Seminoles opened the scoring with a Hunter Carns RBI double in the second. Weber responded with an RBI double in the fourth. Florida State's Myles Bailey broke the stalemate with a solo shot to right in the sixth. A pair of RBI singles in the seventh and eighth innings built a 4-1 Seminoles lead.
North Carolina 18, Arizona 2
Fueled by a pair of five-run innings, the Tar Heels pounded the visiting Wildcats in a Game 1 rout at the Chapel Hill Super Regional.
The Tar Heels (46-13) capitalized on shaky pitching by the Wildcats (42-19) in the first inning. Arizona starter Owen Kramkowski allowed two baserunners with a hit-by-pitch and a walk to open the inning. Singles from Luke Stevenson and Gavin Gallaher followed by a Hunter Stokely three-run homer quickly made it 5-1.
North Carolina stretched its lead to seven with a three-run shot from Stevenson in the second, then manufactured two more runs in the fourth inning for a 10-2 lead. After more RBI singles and a pair of homers by Sam Angelo and Kane Kepley in the eighth, the North Carolina lead grew to a staggering 16 runs.
Stokely and Stevenson led the way for the Tar Heels with five and four RBIs, respectively. Arizona made solid contact, notching 10 hits (four by Adonys Guzman), but failed to drive in runs consistently. North Carolina starter Jake Knapp (14-0) scattered two runs and nine hits over seven innings.
Louisville 8, Miami 1
Jake Munroe's pair of homers, including one in a pivotal five-run third inning, powered the Cardinals to a Game 1 win over the Hurricanes in the Louisville Super Regional.
After back-to-back Louisville (39-21) home runs by Garret Pike and Munroe in the second inning, the Hurricanes (34-26) narrowed the lead to one with a Renzo Gonzalez sacrifice fly in the top of the third.
In the bottom of the third, Louisville loaded the bases with a double, an intentional walk and a hit by pitch. Pike then hit a comebacker to Miami starting pitcher AJ Ciscar, which Ciscar threw just out of the reach of catcher Tanner Smith. Louisville notched two runs on the error for a 4-1 lead.
Munroe belted a ball to left-center field with runners on second and third for his second long ball of the day, bringing the Cardinals lead to 7-1. Louisville tacked on another run in the fourth inning with Munroe's fifth RBI of the day.

NFL fans declare 'football is BACK' after hilarious sideline moment between Nick Sirianni and Kevin Stefanski
NFL fans had a laugh after Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni got into some lighthearted antics in a preseason game against the Cleveland Browns on Saturday. With the Eagles up 13-9 with two seconds before the half, the Browns decided to trot out kicker Andre Szmyt to try and make it a one-point game. Szmyt lined up and went through his paces to prepare for the kick - only for Sirianni to call timeout to 'ice the kicker'. Despite the fact that preseason games are essentially meaningless endeavors, Sirianni injected some humor with his move. Cameras cut to him and saw him grinning across the field to Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski. Stefanski was seen shaking his head at his counterpart - while Sirianni continued to lob jokes to him. Szmyt did eventually knock through a kick to make it 13-12 at the end of the first half. Meanwhile, fans were left in stitches while declaring that football season had officially begun. 'so glad football is back,' wrote one user on X, formerly Twitter. 'Sirianni making the most out of the preseason by working on in-season strategy. Gotta love it! This is what I love about the preseason,' wrote Broncos radio host Nick Ferguson. The Browns were able to move to 2-0 on the preseason after beating Philly 22-13. Sirianni and his Eagles are coming off a Super Bowl victory over the Kansas City Chiefs - ending their opponent's hopes of a historic 'threepeat'. They will now hope to join the Chiefs and the New England Patriots by becoming another team to win back-to-back titles in the 21st century. Philadelphia opens their season - and the NFL's season - at home against the Dallas Cowboys.

Michael Jordan's ugly legal battle with NASCAR presses on as judge rules on 'falsifying documents' claim
A judge denied a motion filed by NASCAR in a legal battle between the stock car racing circuit and two of its race teams - including one owned by NBA icon Michael Jordan. Jordan's 23XI Racing joined forces with Front Row Motorsports (FRM) to file a lawsuit against NASCAR last October - alleging that the governing body's actions violate anti-trust laws. The lawsuit accuses NASCAR and the France family (which has owned and operated the league since inception) of monopolizing American stock car racing. The family has denied this claim. The ongoing suit has been brutal and is set for trial proceedings to begin on December 1. On Monday, a judge in North Carolina passed down an important ruling in the case. NASCAR demanded that the court issue an order to show cause - forcing 23XI, FRM, and their lawyers to explain why sanctions shouldn't be imposed against them for presenting 'manufactured evidence'. On Monday, the court denied the racing organization's motion for an order requiring the two teams to show cause. In the motion, NASCAR's attorneys accused the plaintiffs of making false statements in declarations made in December 2024 - as well as manufacturing evidence which was submitted to support a second motion for a preliminary injunction. The racing circuit presented messages from the agent of 23XI owner and current Joe Gibbs Racing driver Denny Hamlin, 23XI president Steve Lauletta, 23XI drivers Bubba Wallace and Corey Heim, FRM owner Bob Jenkins, and FRM general manager Jerry Freeze. NASCAR also accused one of the plaintiff's attorneys of writing emails which 'were false' and were relied upon to grant an injunction which has since been vacated after an appeal from the racing organization. 23XI and FRM's lawyer, Jeffrey Kessler, dismissed NASCAR's claim as 'another baseless distraction intended to try to divert the Court's attention from the overwhelming evidence that demonstrates that Jim France and NASCAR have been operating an unlawful monopoly that has hurt not just my clients, but all of stock car racing.' The suit filed against NASCAR accuses the league of monopolizing American stock car racing by owning a majority of the tracks NASCAR races on, imposing exclusivity deals on NASCAR-sanctioned tracks, acquiring its biggest competitor (ARCA), preventing teams from participating in any other stock car races, and forcing teams to buy parts from single-source suppliers chosen by the racing organization. Also central to the suit is the 'charter system' - where teams pay tens of millions of dollars per car for the right to a guaranteed starting spot and a share of a preferred purse. While locking down that starting spot is important in the search for sponsorships, the cost of charters have fluctuated through the years. It's believed to have cost about $30m per charter this year. FRM and 23XI are the only two teams who declined to sign a new charter arrangement which runs from 2025 to 2031. Tyler Reddick (L) is currently the lead driver in the points standings for 23XI Motorsports Speaking on the suit last season, Jordan said, 'Everyone knows that I have always been a fierce competitor, and that will to win is what drives me and the entire 23XI team each and every week out on the track. 'I love the sport of racing and the passion of our fans, but the way NASCAR is run today is unfair to teams, drivers, sponsors, and fans. Today's action shows I'm willing to fight for a competitive market where everyone wins.' Both FRM and 23XI are still racing in NASCAR for the 2025 season. 23XI has four drivers: Tyler Reddick (7th in driver's standings), Wallace (10th in standings), Riley Herbst (35th), and Burt Myers (42nd). FRM's three drivers - Zane Smith, Todd Gilliland and Noah Gragson - are 27th, 31st, and 33rd respectively.
