Saint Mary's stuns top-seeded Oregon State 6-4 in nightcap of Corvallis Regional
CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — Brian Duroff drove in three runs with a seventh-inning homer and Daniel Guevara Castro struck out the side in the bottom of the ninth as Saint Mary's sent top-seeded tournament host Oregon State to the losers' bracket with a 6-4 victory in the nightcap of the Corvallis Regional on Friday.
No. 4 seed Saint Mary's (36-24) will play No. 3 seed Southern California on Saturday. Oregon State (41-13-1) will play an elimination game against No. 2 seed TCU to begin the day.
The Gaels, whose only other NCAA Tournament appearance came in 2016, grabbed a 3-0 lead in the first inning off Beavers starter Eric Segura (8-2), who retired just one hitter and was charged with three runs on two singles, a walk and three hit batters.
Aiva Arquette had a two-out single in the third off Gaels starter Dylan Delvecchio (7-3) and Gavin Turley followed with a homer to get Oregon State within 3-2.
Duroff gave Saint Mary's a four-run cushion when he homered with two outs off Laif Palmer.
Trent Caraway had a solo homer and Easton Talt tripled in a run with two outs to cut the Beavers' deficit to two heading to the eighth.
Delvecchio allowed four runs on seven hits in 6 2/3 innings with 10 strikeouts. Castro allowed one walk in the final 2 1/3 for his third save.
Oregon State has advanced to seven College World Series in 24 NCAA Tournament appearances — most recently in 2018 when the Beavers won it for the third time. They won back-to-back titles in 2006-07.

Buggin' out: Little flies bother Djokovic and Zverev during their French Open quarterfinal
PARIS (AP) — Novak Djokovic and Alexander Zverev were bugging out during their French Open quarterfinal Wednesday night, bothered by little flies that zoomed around Court Philippe-Chatrier as they competed. At one point, Zverev leaned over, put his hand on his knee and had a bit of a coughing fit, apparently after one of the bugs flew into his mouth. Both he and Djokovic occasionally would try to swat away the critters between points. The insects also flew around the stands in the 15,000-capacity main stadium, which had its lights on and the retractable roof open on a clear but chilly night, with the temperature around 60 degrees Fahrenheit (15 Celsius). Djokovic has won three of his 24 Grand Slam titles at Roland-Garros. Zverev was the runner-up at the clay-court Grand Slam tournament last year.

Create Account There was an uproar in last summer's Olympic Games when it was revealed that Khelif was competing as a woman, even though there were rumours that a 2023 medical report from the World Championships showed the boxer had male chromosomes. This week, that report was leaked and the rumours were confirmed. In the Olympic welterweight bout, Khelif took on Italian Angela Carini. The match lasted 46 seconds. Carini took two powerful blows to the head. One dislodged her chinstrap; the second smashed her face. She withdrew from the match, saying, 'this is unjust.' The International Olympic Committee dismissed claims it was unfair, pointing out Khelif identified as a woman on her passport. Those who suggested it's not just unfair but dangerous for a man to take on a woman in boxing, a sport in which physical power is a determining force, were ridiculed and labelled homophobic.

Rowling and media personality Piers Morgan were subjected to a bitter campaign of cancel culture for stating the obvious: That men don't belong in women's sport. This week, Rowling took to X to acknowledge the leak of the 2023 medical report that confirmed what many had suspected. 'A win for women because they won't be battered to death in the ring by men,' Rowling said. This is not about transgenderism. Everyone has the right to live their life in the manner in which they see fit, in whatever gender they choose. The problem arises when the increasing number of trans women, many of whom have intact male genitalia, show up in elite sports to compete against biological women. World Aquatics, the body that governs swimming, has developed a sensible solution. Trans women who went through puberty as a male cannot compete with biological women but can take part in an 'open' category for people of all genders. With the Olympics on the horizon in 2028, bodies governing elite sports must establish fair and firm rules. If they fail to do so, they will destroy competitive sports for biological women and turn it into a farce. And Khelif should return the gold medal.
