Cano, Little Rock beat No. 6 national seed LSU 10-4, force decisive game Monday in Baton Rouge
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Angel Cano hit a two-run home run in the second inning and a bases-clearing double in the third to help No. 4 seed Little Rock beat host and top-seeded LSU 10-4 on Saturday night to win avoid elimination at the Baton Rouge Regional on Sunday night.
The Trojans (27-33), making their second NCAA Tournament appearance and first since 2014, can clinch a berth in the super regionals with a win Monday over No. 6 national seed LSU.
LSU beat Little Rock 7-0 on Friday and followed Saturday with a 12-0 win over Dallas Baptist to advance to the championship round. The Trojans, who lost 13 of 14 to close the regular season before winning five straight to win the Ohio Valley Conference Tournament, exploded for 22 runs Saturday in a win over Rhode Island and beat Dallas Baptist 8-6 in an elimination game earlier Sunday.
Steven Milam hit a two-RBI single to cap LSU's three run first inning but Angel Cano hit a two-run home run in the second for the Trojans. Ryan Geck grounded out to lead off the third before Ty Rhoades, Cade Martin and Cooper Chaplain drew consecutive walks to load the bases. Cano fouled off three consecutive two-strike pitches before he hit a bases-clearing double off Chase Shores (5-3), who was immediately replaced by Cooper Williams after allowing four runs in an inning of relief.
Starter Noah Burkey gave up three runs on six hits in 1 2/3 innings before he was replaced by Brenden Katz (1-0), who pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings. Malcolm Brown threw 5 1/3 innings and gave up a run on three hits to earn his first save of the season.

You are now free to move about the cabin. The singing, however …
On one hand, I get it. For I, too, was once a child full of song. Some might even say overflowing. So when my TikTok feed offered me the viral clip of Delta Girl, or Moana Girl, or whatever nickname we've settled on, six days out from the incident — i.e. young girl delivers an unsolicited intercom performance of 'How Far I'll Go' to passengers on delayed plane — I found myself circling the proverbial emotional airport. It was, objectively, precious.

75-year-old N.J. man rescued from burning car in Edison
A good Samaritan rescued a 75-year-old man from a burning vehicle in Edison, New Jersey Tuesday morning. Charles Parry spotted the SUV on fire early Tuesday morning in front of a PetSmart. "At that time, flames were starting to come out of the hood of the car," Parry said. Parry called 911 and then ran toward the burning car to rescue the driver. "I was just struggling with the seatbelt a little bit … just got it half-way down his face, and was able to reach in and just started yanking him, and pulled him out far away from the car," Parr said. Parry then protected the man, telling him to stay down. Seconds later, the SUV was fully engulfed in flame. Charles Parry rescued a 75-year-old man from a burning SUV moments before it was fully engulfed in flame on June 3, 2025. Charles Parry Parry said he was surprised the man survived, since he says the man was driving erratically just before the incident. "I mean, he was full speed. The pedal was down the whole time. He went straight into the concrete foundation," Parry said. "That time, he burst into some cones, tires were skidding, he hit a few curbs the car was airborne at one point." Some debris from the vehicle where the driver crashed lingered at the scene. "He was clearly having a medical episode. We summoned the ambulance to come and check him out. He refused medical attention," Edison Police Chief Thomas Bryan said. "I would like to think that anybody would do that. I am just glad I had an opportunity to help somebody," Parry said. Parry said even though he suffered from smoke inhalation, he'd do it all over again. And while he doesn't see himself as a hero, others disagree. "Cause he always helps everybody. He helps taking care of me, and he's a very nice guy," Parry's grandfather Evan Owens said.
