The Sports Report: It's bad news, good news for UCLA
From Tim Willert: UCLA's run at the Women's College World Series ended Sunday, two innings after Bruins slugger Megan Grant extended it. Laura Mealer's bases-loaded, walk-off single to right field in the bottom of the ninth propelled Tennessee to a 5-4 win and a semifinal meeting with Texas at 9 a.m. PDT Monday. The Volunteers (47-16) did what UCLA couldn't in the ninth: deliver with the bases loaded. The Bruins got singles from Savannah Pola and Jordan Woolery followed by an intentional walk to Grant. But Alexis Ramirez grounded out to first to end the inning. Taylor Pannell hit a deep fly to left field to lead off Tennessee's half of the ninth, a ball that caromed off Rylee Slimp's glove and hit the white padding on the top of the wall but didn't leave the field. The play was reviewed and ruled a double. Mealer, who knocked in two runs in the first inning to give the Volunteers an early 2-0 lead, delivered again, this time on a 2-2 pitch from Taylor Tinsley, who came on in relief of UCLA starter Kaitlyn Terry. 'Just a great battle to the end,' UCLA coach Kelly Inouye-Perez said. 'I could not be more proud. Period. Just the ability for us to be able to fight, the ability for us to come back, the epic [rally], just down to the last pitch ... there's something about what UCLA softball can do, with your backs against the wall and just rising to the occasion creates some amazing memories.'

'No,' he said when asked if his Dodgers had the New York Yankees' proverbial number, having followed up their defeat of the Bronx Bombers in last year's World Series with two impressive wins to start this weekend's rematch at Dodger Stadium. 'I think we've had their number the last two nights,' Roberts said, 'but today's a different day.' Was it ever. Twenty-four hours after a total annihilation of the Yankees in a 16-run rout on Saturday, the Dodgers suffered the kind of setback that has so often plagued them this season, squandering the chance to build further momentum in a 7-3 loss that prevented a series sweep.

Ramírez extended Cleveland's lead to 2-0 when he connected on a slider from Angels starter Jack Kochanowicz (3-7) and put it into the stands in right-center for his team-leading 11th homer to lead off the fourth. Nolan Jones added a two-run single with the bases loaded for the other runs in the inning as the Guardians took two of three games in the weekend series.

The Bruins continued to roll in every facet of the game in the Los Angeles Regional final, scoring early and trusting their bullpen to defeat UC Irvine 8-5 on Sunday night. The Bruins advance to the super regionals of the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2019 and will host the Texas San Antonio at Jackie Robinson Stadium this week. UTSA defeated Texas 7-4 in the Austin Regional final, taking down the national second-seed Longhorns to advance to its first-ever super regional. If UCLA beats UTSA, it'll advance to the College World Series in Omaha for the first time since 2013. Continue reading here From Shotgun Spratling: USC baseball wanted to be aggressive knowing it was entering a hostile environment, playing in front of a sold-out crowd of 4,347 at Goss Stadium. The Trojans tried to set the tone early. Instead, it backfired, costing them early opportunities, early momentum and ultimately Sunday night's matchup in a 14-1 loss to Oregon State in the Corvallis Regional final. USC has a chance for redemption Monday as Oregon State's win forces a winner-take-all regional final at 3 p.m. PDT (ESPNU). Continue reading here From Benjamin Royer: In the game early Sunday that advanced UC Irvine to the Sunday night game against UCLA.... Under threat of elimination, UC Irvine's bats emerged once again. Bringing the power for a second straight game, the Anteaters connected for five home runs Sunday, eliminating Arizona State 11-6 in the Los Angeles Regional of the NCAA baseball tournament. Needing to win four straight games to advance to the super regionals after losing to Arizona State on Friday, UC Irvine is halfway to its goal. Alonso Reyes — who had just one home run in 2025 entering Sunday's game — ripped a two-run home run off of Sun Devils starter Derek Schaefer in the fourth inning. Later in the inning, after Arizona State coach Willie Bloomquist went with Lucas Kelly out of the bullpen, Chase Call cleared the batter's eye in dead center field for a two-run home run to give the Anteaters a 6-1 lead. Continue reading here From Anthony De Leon: Sunday's matchup between the Sparks and Phoenix Mercury felt like déjà vu. When the Sparks faced Phoenix last month, the game ended with a failed Sparks comeback. In a twist of fate, Sunday's comeback belonged to Phoenix. Unable to stay ahead after building an 18-point lead, the Sparks fell 85-80 to the Mercury at Arena for their third consecutive loss. As with the first meeting, the third quarter proved to be the Sparks' undoing. After scoring just seven points in the third quarter of their loss to Phoenix on May 21, the Sparks were outscored 24-9 in the third Sunday.

Tennessee's Karen Weekly: 'Everybody but four people' saw Megan Grant miss home plate
Tennessee's Karen Weekly: 'Everybody but four people' saw Megan Grant miss home plate Show Caption Hide Caption Karen Weekly on Tennessee softball beating Nebraska to advance to WCWS Tennessee softball coach Karen Weekly talks about the Lady Vols' 1-0 win over Nebraska to advance to Women's College World Series. Roughly 90 minutes had passed since a controversial, game-tying home run sent Tennessee softball's Women's College World Series elimination game against UCLA into extra innings Sunday. But as she sat down for her post-game news conference after her team's win, Lady Vols coach Karen Weekly wasn't any less bothered by what had occurred. Weekly teed off on the umpiring and replay review crews after No. 7 Tennessee's 5-4 victory against No. 9 UCLA in nine innings, noting that she believed the incorrect call had been made on a two-run homer from Bruins slugger Megan Grant, who didn't touch home plate as she completed her trot around the bases. REQUIRED READING: Tennessee softball, Karlyn Pickens vs UCLA highlights: Lady Vols going back to WCWS semifinals 'I think everybody but four people saw the play at the plate,' Weekly said. 'We saw in the dugout she had missed the plate and we saw her teammates had kind of pushed her back. By rule, that should have been nullified. ... We went to the umpire and said, 'This is what happened.' Then they did their thing.' After Grant had initially stepped over home plate, one player in her mob of teammates who greeted her, Alexis Ramirez, grabbed her and moved her in the direction of the plate to make sure she touched it. After a 20-minute video review, it was determined that, while Grant did not touch the plate and had been assisted, it was not reviewable according to Appendix G of the NCAA Softball Rule Book. When asked later during her news conference about what her team did to occupy itself during the review, Weekly sarcastically referred to it as 'that lengthy review-not review.' REQUIRED READING: Why did Megan Grant's home run count in WCWS for UCLA? Play was not reviewable The victory the Lady Vols would have gotten had the call gone the other way was ultimately delayed, not denied. With the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth inning, Tennessee native Laura Mealer roped a single to left field to bring home the game-winning run. With the win, Tennessee has advanced to the WCWS semifinals on June 2, where it will play No. 6 Texas. The Lady Vols, who already have a loss in the double-elimination tournament, will need to beat the Longhorns twice in order to make it to the WCWS championship series.

Pickens bounces back
Follow our coverage of the WCWS from Oklahoma City as the five remaining teams chase the softball national title Imagn Images B8 - UCLA 4, Tennessee 4 Nice and easy inning for Karlyn Pickens in 1-2-3 fashion, and the Vols will have a chance to walk it off against the Bruins. With everything we've seen in this game (and the week in general), who knows how this game will finish. T8 - UCLA 4, Tennessee 4 What a sequence. On top of the home run/not a home run, the seventh inning was wild. The Vols get a runner to second base with one out in the bottom half, but McKenna Gibson lines a shot to UCLA third baseman Jordan Woolery, and Woolery doubles up pinch-runner Katie Taylor off second base. Wow. And we go to extra innings. What a moment for Megan Grant. She missed home plate and was assisted, but apparently that play is not reviewable. So we spent 15 minutes waiting for THAT? What an embarrassing moment and unfortunate situation for the sport. Make a call. One way or the other. This shouldn't be taking so long. You're hurting the game. You're hurting the sport. You're hurting both of these teams. This is such a mess. Be better. This can't be overturned if it's taking this long. Something has to be done about reviews taking this long. If it's not clear, this can't be overturned. My goodness, hurry up. Did Megan Grant not touch the plate? They're reviewing this. If she's out, this will be BRUTAL. T7 - Tennessee 4, UCLA 4 Jordan Woolery gets on with a two-out single, and Megan Grant comes through with a two-run home run, and we're all tied again. Wow, what a moment. This incredible WCWS just keeps delivering. T7 - Tennessee 4, UCLA 2 Here we go. The Bruins have one more chance to keep this game -- and their season -- alive against Tennessee pitcher Karlyn Pickens. Karlyn Pickens is so talented and dynamic in the circle. She has allowed seven hits and walked three, but she has allowed just two earned runs through six innings. And she has seven strikeouts. Pickens is just so much fun to watch. Imagn Images I've loved the action in Oklahoma City for the Women's College World Series, but these games are taking forever to play. It shouldn't take three hours to play seven innings of softball but we're seeing that quite a bit this week. Way too many delays. Way too many long reviews. Imagn Images T6 - Tennessee 4, UCLA 2 The Vols are six outs from a win and a spot in the national semifinals. What a huge moment for Taylor Pannell. She has been the star of this game with two hits, two RBIs and two runs scored. Now Tennessee turns everything over to Karlyn Pickens. Imagn Images B5 - Tennessee 4, UCLA 2 And now the Vols have the lead after a two-run home run by Taylor Pannell. This game has been just like the rest of this week: so much drama and so much fun. B5 - UCLA 2, Tennessee 2 Huge strikeout for Karlyn Pickens to get out of a jam in the top of the fifth after UCLA had two hits and got another runner on base with a walk. We're still tied. Watching Pickens and Kaitlyn Terry work their way through these lineups is so much fun. B4 - UCLA 2, Tennessee 2 Karlyn Pickens again walks one but doesn't allow anything else. She has four strikeouts through four innings and is now in control of this game. T4 - UCLA 2, Tennessee 2 The two starting pitchers are really starting to take control of this game. UCLA's Kaitlyn Terry with a 1-2-3 inning in the bottom of the third with two strikeouts. That was impressive. Imagn Images B3 - UCLA 2, Tennessee 2 Much easier inning for Tennessee's Karlyn Pickens. She did walk one but didn't allow a hit, and the Vols head back to bat with a chance to take the lead. It feels like we're settling into a fun game here in this elimination game. Kaitlyn Terry got some help from her defense in that second inning. Look at this play by UCLA second baseman Savannah Pola. Imagn Images T3 - UCLA 2, Tennessee 2 Kaitlyn Terry gives up one single in the bottom of the second inning, but she had a much cleaner inning than the first and keeps the Vols off the scoreboard. Headed to the third tied at 2. T2 - UCLA 2, Tennessee 2 So it didn't take long for the Bruins to match the Vols' two runs and pull even. Sofia Mujica adds a solo home run, and UCLA is right back in this game. It's the first time Karlyn Pickens has allowed two home runs in a single inning this season. WOW.

Tennessee overcomes controversial call, UCLA to reach WCWS semis
After a controversial call at home plate helped UCLA take Tennessee to extra innings, the Lady Volunteers set out to prove one of the oldest arguments in sports: Ball don't lie. In the bottom of the ninth with the bases loaded, Laura Mealer singled to left field, bringing in the winning run and helping Tennessee stave off elimination with a 5-4 victory over the Bruins on Sunday at Devon Park in Oklahoma City. The win set up Tennessee for a date with No. 6 Texas in the semifinals on Monday. Meanwhile, UCLA's season is over. 'I just wanted to stay simple. I have an excellent team behind me, and I was really trying to pass the bat no matter what happens,' Mealer said. this is for your appendix g 📺 ABC — Tennessee Softball (@Vol_Softball) June 1, 2025 The Volunteers, who just won their third game of this WCWS, looked like they were going to beat UCLA in regulation thanks to a mistake on the basepaths by the Bruins. After hitting the game-tying home run in the top of the seventh, UCLA's Megan Grant overstepped home plate as she approached the teammates who had gathered around her to celebrate. Almost immediately after Grant stomped on the ground, as the Bruins started to gleefully walk back to the dugout, teammate Alexis 'Lefty' Ramirez pointed at Grant and took her by the arm, assisting her back over to touch home plate. TIE BALL GAME 🤯#WCWS x 📺 ABC / @UCLASoftball — NCAA Softball (@NCAASoftball) June 1, 2025 According to NCAA rules, a teammate cannot physically assist a runner to home plate unless that player is also a runner. Since Ramirez was not on base when Grant hit her home run, she was ineligible to help Grant home. Jordan Woolery, who was on base at the time of Grant's homer, was the only player who could've done so. Advertisement Tennessee challenged the call that the runner was safe at home. After a lengthy review, the umpire admitted that Grant did not touch home plate but said that the type of play is not reviewable. Grant was safe and the two-run homer was upheld. 'The runner did miss home plate and was assisted, however, that play is not reviewable, according to Appendix G,' the umpire said. Appendix G of the NCAA softball rulebook legislates video reviews, and which plays are subject to it. According to the section, runners missing a base and runners leaving early on a pitch are eligible for review. Rule 10 of Appendix G states that 'runners leaving the base prior to the touch on a fly ball (tagging up), runners missing a base and runners leaving early on a pitch' are eligible for review. In the 1996 Summer Olympics, Team USA's only loss of the tournament came to Australia in round-robin play due to the same play. American third baseman Dani Tyler hit a ball over the center-field wall, but after failing to touch home plate, the score remained knotted at zero. Her home run would've given the U.S. the 1-0 lead at the end of regulation, but Tyler was called out after an appeal by Australia. 'I can't imagine missing any of the plate trotting, but I was so excited I don't remember positively touching it,' Tyler said after the 1996 matchup, according to USA Today. 'I can't really tell you for sure.' Despite that play, Team USA went on to take home gold. And despite the confusion on Sunday, the Volunteers stayed alive. Tennessee advances to the national semifinals and will face Texas at noon ET on Monday. The Vols will have to beat the Longhorns twice to reach the championship series. 'We got everything left in the tank,' Mealer player. 'We're ready. We're ready to go.' This story will be updated.
