Texas A&M star OF makes 2025 SEC Tournament All-Tournament Team
Texas A&M star OF makes 2025 SEC Tournament All-Tournament Team Texas A&M's (30-26) 2025 baseball season is likely over after the Aggies' 4-3 Quarterfinal loss to LSU in the SEC Tournament this week, as the NCAA Tournament is likely a pipe dream given the program's poor record, despite finishing with 13 wins in conference play, including consecutive wins over Mississippi State and Auburn this week. Texas A&M's excellent pitching was outshined by junior outfielder Jace LaViolette, whose broken left hand didn't prevent the star but returning 24 hours later to the lineup to deliver two of the Aggies' three runs on the night, which was truly miraculous to watch. If the Aggies' season is indeed over, LaViolette finished as the NCAA active leader in home runs with 68, including a team-high 18 this season paired with 51 hits, while hitting a career-low .258 at the plate. During the SEC Tournament, LaViolette had two hits, including a home run and 6 RBI, and was unsurprisingly named to the 2025 SEC Baseball All-Tournament Team as a designated hitter. Here is the rest of the list at every position after Vanderbilt took home the SEC Tournament Championship on Sunday afternoon. P: Hunter Elliott, Ole Miss P: Connor Spencer, Ole Miss C: Cannon Peebles, Tennessee DH: Jace LaViolette, Texas A&M 1B: Riley Nelson, Vanderbilt 2B: Judd Utermark, Ole Miss 3B: Brodie Johnston, Vanderbilt SS: Jaxon Willits, Oklahoma OF: RJ Austin, Vanderbilt OF: Hunter Ensley, Tennessee OF: Richie Bonomolo Jr., Alabama Most Valuable Player: Brodie Johnston, Vanderbilt Texas A&M coach Michael Earley and his 2025 roster will wait and see if they will be selected in the 2025 NCAA Tournament on Monday afternoon, which is a long shot, but as we've seen in the past, crazier things have happened on Selection Monday.

Former LSUS player becomes first-ever to play in MLB
SHREVEPORT, La. (KTAL/KMSS) – Cade Gibson became the first-ever former LSU Shreveport player to appear in a Major League Baseball game. Gibson made his MLB debut on Sunday for the Miami Marlins, tossing 2 1/3 scoreless innings. He entered the game down 4-1 to the Philadelphia Phillies, but his performance helped keep the Phillies at bay before the Marlins came back to win 7-5 in extra innings. Jayla Rowden shines in four sports, aims for college success Cade grew up in Ruston, Louisiana, and played baseball at Ruston High. He took his talents to LSUS in 2017 and 2018 as a pitcher and an outfielder. Gibson earned All-Tournament Team honors in the Red River Conference as a freshman in 2017. He helped LSUS win the RRAC Conference Tournament that year and the regular season title in 2018. Both seasons saw LSUS make appearances in the NAIA Regionals. Cade transferred to Louisiana Tech for the 2019 season and worked his way onto the starting pitching rotation. He picked up wins on the mound against No. 4 Ole Miss in 2021 and No. 2 LSU in 2022. LSUS stacks on another sweep; Pilots improve to 44-0 Gibson was named Second Team All-Conference USA in his final season before being selected by the Marlins in the 10th round of the 2022 MLB Draft. Cade rose through the ranks of the minor leagues fairly quickly. He began with Double-A Pensacola in 2024 and was called up to the majors from Triple-A Jacksonville this season. Gibson was optioned back to Triple-A Jacksonville on Monday but remains on the Marlins' 40-man roster. He has produced a 1-1 record with a 4.26 earned run average in five appearances (12 2/3 innings) with Jacksonville this season. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Wings select Paige Bueckers No. 1 overall in 2025 WNBA Draft
The 2025 WNBA Draft began just how everyone expected, as UConn Huskies star Paige Bueckers was selected first overall by the Dallas Wings on Monday night. Last year, it was Caitlin Clark coming out of Iowa as the consensus top selection, and the Indiana Fever made it so when they called her name. Clark went on to win the 2024 WNBA Rookie of the Year, breaking records along the way. Bueckers has had No. 1 pick potential since she entered UConn. Seeing it come to fruition, fresh off a national title run with her sisters on the court, was "overwhelming" for the new star of the Wings. "Just an overwhelming sense of gratitude. It's super surreal to be here with other draft invitees," Bueckers said after she heard her name called. Bueckers becoming a national champion with the Huskies put a cherry on top of a brilliant career for the Hopkins, Minnesota native. Her senior season saw 19.9 points, 4.6 assists, and 4.4 rebounds averaged per game, while shooting 53.4% from the field and 41.9% from deep. Bueckers' ability to score anywhere on the floor, and truly have Geno Auriemma's offense run through her was on full display throughout the year, including the NCAA Tournament. Bueckers notched her fourth straight All-Tournament Team nod from the NCAA for her performances when it mattered most. She wasn't able to secure a spot in the national championship game, though, during her junior season, falling to Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes that year. But the Huskies charged all the way back to win it over South Carolina in dominating fashion earlier this month. Bueckers was named an AP All-American for the third time in her illustrious college career. Heading into the WNBA, Bueckers' expectations are through the roof, joining a team in Dallas that is led by All-Star Arike Ogunbowale, who could use another dynamic guard to work with. During her four years at UConn, Bueckers averaged 19.8 points, 4.6 assists, and 4.7 rebounds and shot 53.1% from the field over 123 career games.
