Prep sports roundup: St. John Bosco opens three-game lead in Trinity League
Winning close games has become part of St. John Bosco's success this season as the Braves close in on their first Trinity League baseball title since 2017.
It happened again Tuesday night at Mater Dei. With the score tied 1-1 in the top of the 10th inning, Noah Everly hit an RBI triple, followed by an RBI single by Moises Razo. The Braves (17-4, 9-1) then survived a bases-loaded jam in the bottom of the 10th to secure a 3-2 win over the Monatchs for a three-game lead in the Trinity League standings.
Everly was the hitting star. The junior outfielder had a first-inning home run and came through with his tiebreaking hit, sending the ball over the head of Mater Dei center fielder Ezekiel Lara.
Trevor Heishman was efficient and effective for St. John Bosco, throwing eight innings with seven strikeouts. Jackson Campbell lasted 6-1/3 innings for Mater Dei.
St. John Bosco had the bases loaded and one out in the seventh but failed to score after a force out at the plate on a bunt and runner's interference on a ground ball.
Mate Dei, down 3-1, loaded the bases with two out in the 10th. Gavin Cervantes came in and gave up a run with a bases-loaded walk. Then he had to get out Mater Dei's best hitter, Brandon Thomas, who had a double and single. Thomas lined the ball off Cervantes' glove. He recovered, retrieved the ball and threw to first for the final out.

The Braves have a three-game lead over second-place Orange Lutheran. Mater Dei (13-9, 3-7) is in jeopardy of not making the playoffs if it doesn't win some league games. Servite, JSerra and Santa Margarita are all tied for third place at 4-6.
Servite 11, Orange Lutheran 4: Toby Kwon escaped a bases-loaded jam in the first inning with consecutive strikeouts, and the Friars used that momentum to knock off the Lancers. Hayden Woodson had three RBIs and Nathan King hit a two-run home run.
Santa Margarita 3, JSerra 2: Carter Enoch had a two-run, walk-off single in the seventh for the Eagles. Jordan Marian had three hits and Max Reimers struck out eight for JSerra.
Huntington Beach 4, Newport Harbor 2: Jared Grindlinger's walk-off, three-run home run in the seventh inning capped a wild comeback victory for the No. 1-ranked Oilers, who trailed 2-0 going into the bottom of the seventh and were down to their final out. With two out, Ethan Porter, Jayton Greer and Cole Clark had consecutive singles before Grindlinger won it with his home run.

Braves Announce Trade With Orioles After Craig Kimbrel News
Braves Announce Trade With Orioles After Craig Kimbrel News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. One day after a monumental collapse by their bullpen, the Atlanta Braves shook things up via a trade with the Baltimore Orioles. Advertisement It involved one of the two relief pitchers at the center of the eight-run meltdown in the final two innings of Thursday's 11-10 home loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. On Friday, Atlanta announced that it has dealt reliever Scott Blewett to the Orioles for cash considerations. This marks Blewett's fourth stop and third MLB team since April. The 29-year-old began the 2025 season with the Minnesota Twins and spent a week with Baltimore in mid-April before his contract was purchased by the Braves. Atlanta also made another bullpen move official on Friday by selecting 16-year veteran reliever Craig Kimbrel to the major league roster from Triple-A. The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal was first to report the decision on Thursday shortly after the gut-punch loss. Former Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Scott Blewett (63) pitches at Truist Zanine-Imagn Images Blewett appeared in 11 games for the Braves, posting a 5.51 ERA, 1.59 WHIP, 10 walks and 13 strikeouts across 16 1/3 innings. The former 2014 second-round draft pick holds a 3.02 ERA across 53 2/3 innings in his major league career. Advertisement He most recently took the mound on Thursday when he surrendered three hits (all home runs), two walks and five earned runs in 1 1/3 innings after entering in the eighth frame with a 9-3 lead. Entering Friday, the Braves (27-34) sit in fourth place in the NL East, 11 games behind the division-leading New York Mets (39-24). They're set to take on the San Francisco Giants for a three-game series in the Bay Area starting Friday night.

Which 2026 recruits have offers from Alabama basketball? Who's the tallest? Who's in backyard?
Only a couple months removed from March Madness, Alabama basketball has spent the offseason building its roster for the runs that lie ahead. Per 247Sports' database, 30 uncommitted prospects from the 2026 recruiting class have been offered by Alabama coach Nate Oats and staff. By state, Georgia leads the way with five recruits, followed by four from California and three each from Florida, Ohio and Maryland. Advertisement So far, forward Gage Mayfield, who is coming up on his senior year at Hale County — the home of Crimson Tide hoops alum Herb Jones — is the lone player to represent the state of Alabama among potential signees to UA's 2026-27 roster. By the looks of it, length continues to be the most sought-after physical attribute for Oats and recruiting mastermind Preston Murphy. The tallest 2026 players with Alabama offers are 7-footer Sinan Juan of Georgetown Preparatory School (Md.) and 7-1 Favour Ibe of Mt. Zion Prep (Md.). Nineteen total players offered by the Crimson Tide stand at 6-6 and over, including five between 6-10 and 6-11. Alabama's 2025 signees include Amari Allen, London Jemison and Davion Hannah. The trio make up the 15th ranked incoming recruiting class in the country. Here's a look at the complete list of uncommitted 2026 recruits who have a shot at suiting up for the Crimson Tide.
