Texas' 5-run fifth inning propels Longhorns to 7-1 victory over Houston Christian in Austin Regional
Associated Press AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas turned six hits and an error into a five-run fifth inning to break open the game, and the No. 2 national seed Longhorns defeated Houston Christian 7-1 in the Austin Regional on Friday. The Longhorns (43-12) play the winner of a game between UTSA and Kansas on Saturday. The Huskies (32-24) meet the loser in an elimination game. Texas, making its NCAA-record 64th tournament appearance, capitalized on three Houston Christian errors and scored six unearned runs. All five of the Longhorns' fifth-inning runs came with two outs. Jonah Williams reached on an error and Ethan Mendoza singled to start the inning, and then four two-out singles and Will Gasparino's double put the Longhorns up 7-1. Texas coach Jim Schlossnagle gave left-hander Ethan Walker his second start of the season against the No. 4 regional seed Huskies. That allowed Texas to hold back established weekend starters Ruger Riojas and Luke Harrison. Walker, who held Tennessee to one run in 4 1/3 innings of relief in the Southeastern Conference Tournament on May 22, gave up two hits and no runs in 1 2/3 innings. Schlossnagle then went to Grayson Saunier and Hudson Hamilton. Each worked 3 2/3 innings, and they combined to hold the Huskies to a run on six hits and a walk. Houston Christian starter Parker Edwards went 4 1/3 innings and allowed seven hits and two walks. The Longhorns beat Houston Christian for the second time this season. They won 12-2 on April 8 in a game shortened to seven innings by the run rule. ___ AP college sports: recommended

Oklahoma State wins a semifinal thriller in NCAA golf and meets Virginia for the title
Associated Press CARLSBAD, Calif. (AP) — Oklahoma State sophomore Eric Lee holed a 6-foot par putt on the 19th hole that sent the Cowboys into the final match against Virginia after a wild finish Tuesday filled with bad shots, good bounces and two final matches that went overtime in the NCAA Men's Golf Championship In the decisive match as the sun was setting over La Costa, Lee drilled a 3-wood to 7 feet on the par-5 18th. Cohen Trolio of Ole Miss hit his second shot toward trouble, but it took a hard hop off wiry grass and bounced back on the cart path instead of into a tough lie. Trolio hit a magnificent pitch to 3 feet for birdie, and Lee missed his winning putt. They went to the par-3 16th — their 19th hole — and both had 30-foot birdie putts. Trolio came up 8 feet short and three-putted, and Lee went by the cup and holed it coming back. Virginia, the No. 7 seed that knocked off defending champion Auburn in the morning and No. 3 seed Florida in the afternoon, will go after its first NCAA title in golf. Ben James, the No. 4 player in the amateur world ranking, went down to the wire when Luke Poulter holed a 30-foot par putt on the 17th — something his father, Ian Poulter, made a career doing — until Poulter ran into trouble on the 18th and James secured a 2-up victory. 'It came down to a putting contest at the end,' James said. 'We both putted lights out. Luckily, I came out on top.' That was the third point Virginia needed to reach the championship match Wednesday. It took nearly two hours for the Cavaliers to find out whether they would face Oklahoma State or Ole Miss, the No. 8 seed that eliminated top-seeded Arizona State earlier in the day. Ole Miss junior Tom Fischer, who earlier went an NCAA-record 21 holes to beat Michael Mjaaseth of Arizona State, was headed for trouble right on the 18th when his ball bounced off a clump of wiry grass that gave him a shot and led to par for a 1-up victory. Oklahoma State appeared to have another match in hand with Swedish freshman Filip Fahlberg-Johnsson comfortably ahead against Cameron Tankersley, who somehow stayed in the game with great par saves. Fahlberg-Johnsson three-putted the 16th and 17th holes, missed a 3-footer for the win on the 17th. Still 1-up, he was left of the green in two on the par-5 18th when he semi-shanked a chip and lost the hole to go overtime. On the 19th hole — the par-3 16th — Tankersley went into the water, and the Swede followed him there. Fahlberg-Johnsson hit his next tee shot to 5 feet, and then missed the bogey putt for the win. On the 17th, the Swede was in a waste area left and hit a superb shot out to 6 feet. He made that for birdie and the win. 'Very exhausted,' Fahlberg-Johnsson said. 'It was one of the worst days on the golf course I ever had, and also one of the best.' Oklahoma State, which had an easy time in beating Bedlam rival Oklahoma in the quarterfinals, is going for its 12 NCAA men's golf title, second only to Houston with 16. Arizona State kept an unusual streak going. Since the NCAA went to match play in 2009 to decide the team title, Oklahoma State is the only No. 1 seed to win in 2018. ___ AP golf: in this topic

Fans were in awe after Caitlin Clark confidently knocked down a 3 from the same spot as her NCAA-record shot
Fans were in awe after Caitlin Clark confidently knocked down a 3 from the same spot as her NCAA-record shot It was only fitting that Caitlin Clark made her 2025 preseason debut on the court where she rewrote the NCAA record books. And on Sunday, she gave everyone a near-perfect reenactment of her record-breaking moment from college. In front of a packed house at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City, the Indiana Fever dominated the Brazil women's national team, 108-44, with Clark scoring 16 points in just 19 minutes. As cool as the homecoming must have been for Clark, we could see just how fired up she was late in the third quarter when she opted to pull up from the side logo where she broke the NCAA women's all-time scoring record in 2024. Look familiar? Well, it should: Clark pointed after the shot as if she planned to shoot from that spot on the floor. Fans also noticed how similar the shots were. Sunday's three was actually a couple steps further than the No. 22 logo on the court. This was how Twitter/X reacted
