Louisville hits 3 home runs, rolls to 8-3 win over ETSU in Nashville Regional
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Lucas Moore and Matt Klein hit two-run home runs, Eddie King Jr. added a solo shot and Louisville defeated ETSU 8-3 on Friday in the Nashville Regional. ETSU's Cody Miller and Klein swapped two-run dingers in the third inning. From there, Cardinals' pitchers Patrick Forbes and Brennyn Cutts shut down the Buccaneers on three hits. The Cardinals (36-21) face the winner of top-seeded Vanderbilt versus Wright State on Saturday after ETSU (41-16) plays the loser. Forbes (3-2) went six innings, striking out 13, a Louisville postseason record, while walking four and giving up two hits. Cutts earned his first save, allowing the home run and striking out five. Louisville, in the NCAA Tournament for the 15th time, picked up a pair of runs in the fourth before Klein and King homered in the fifth. After Miller's home run the Buccaneers didn't get another hit until Tristan Curless had a solo shot in the eighth. Carter Fink (6-5) gave up six runs on five hits and two walks in 4 1/3 innings for ETSU, which won the Southern Conference Tournament for the first time to make its first NCAA Tournament since 2013 and fifth overall. ___ AP college sports:

DFL Sen. Matt Klein announces run for Minnesota's 2nd Congressional District
Minnesota Sen. Matt Klein, DFL-Mendota Heights, a Mayo doctor first elected to the Legislature in 2016, announced Tuesday he's running for Rep. Angie Craig's congressional seat in the 2nd District. 'As a senator, I've worked across the aisle to pass common sense laws that protect Minnesotans from financial fraud and predatory lending, lower prescription drug costs by holding Big Pharma accountable, defend reproductive freedom, and make life more affordable for working families,' Klein said in a statement. The 2nd Congressional District is Minnesota's most competitive, but Craig's centrist politics has helped her win four consecutive elections in the purple south metro district. In 2024, she won by double digit percentage points despite Republicans' nationwide success. She recently announced her candidacy for U.S. Senate. Klein currently serves as the chair of the Senate Commerce and Consumer Protection Committee. More: Former state Sen. Matt Little announces U.S. House campaign to replace Angie Craig Most recently, Klein has championed legislation to legalize online sports betting in Minnesota, but that effort has stalled again this year. He's also a vocal proponent of passing a revolving door ban, which would bar lawmakers from becoming lobbyists immediately after leaving office.

Tim Walz during his 2022 reelection by sharply calling out Walz's GOP opponent, fellow physician Scott Jensen, who had raised doubts about the severity of the pandemic and the necessity of universal vaccination. Former DFL Sen. Matt Little is also running for the 2nd Congressional District seat. Businessman and internet poster Mike Norton is exploring a run. Other potential candidates include GOP state Sen.

Spirit Airlines CEO Ted Christie resigns as company rebrands as premium carrier
Spirit Airlines CEO Ted Christie resigns as company rebrands as premium carrier Show Caption Hide Caption Spirit Airlines comes out of bankruptcy protection Spirit Airlines announced plans to rebrand as a premium airline after emerging from bankruptcy protection. Cheddar U.S. discount carrier Spirit Airlines said on Monday that CEO Ted Christie has stepped down with immediate effect as part of a shakeup, weeks after the company emerged from bankruptcy and reconstituted its board. Chief Commercial Officer Matt Klein is also leaving and will be succeeded by insider Rana Ghosh. The departures come as the carrier works to move away from its no-frills image and rebrand itself as a premium airline. In case you missed it: 'See-through clothing,' 'offensive' body art can get you kicked off Spirit Airlines An interim office of the CEO, consisting of Chief Financial Officer Fred Cromer, Chief Operating Officer John Bendoraitis and General Counsel Thomas Canfield, will lead the company until a new chief is named. Christie joined Spirit in 2012 as its finance chief and took the helm in 2019. He guided the airline through the pandemic disruptions and a challenging period for low-cost carriers grappling with rising costs and a readiness among travelers to pay extra for a more comfortable journey as they pursued experiences. The Florida-based carrier filed for bankruptcy protection last November, following years of losses and heavy debt, as well as failed merger attempts. Spirit had been in merger talks with Frontier Group ULCC.O since at least 2022, but ended them in favor of a more attractive offer from rival JetBlue Airways JBLU.O. Its merger with JetBlue was ultimately scrapped after a U.S. judge blocked it on anti-competition concerns. Spirit, which has estimated that shift to premium would generate 13% more revenue per passenger, also plans to revamp its loyalty program and pursue alliances with other carriers.
