Wright State hangs on late to win 5-4, knocks No. 1 national seed Vanderbilt out of NCAA regionals
Associated Press NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Griffen Paige gave up one run on one hit across eight innings, Boston Smith and Luke Arnold hit back-to-back homers early, and Wright State held off Vanderbilt in the ninth to knock the No. 1 national seed out of the NCAA Tournament with a 5-4 victory in the Nashville Regional on Sunday. The Commodores (43-18) became the first No. 1 national seed to fail to reach their regional final since the tournament went to its current format in 1999. Wright State (39-20), the No. 4 regional seed out of the Horizon League, play Louisville in the final Sunday night. The Raiders would have to beat the Cardinals in that game and again Monday to reach a super regional for the first time. Paige (2-3) walked six, struck out two and allowed Brodie Johnston's second-inning home run during his 113-pitch outing. 'Biggest game I've ever pitched in, and I showed up and went out there trying to get guys out, one out at a time, one pitch at a time. You can't do anything else,' Paige said. He went out to start the ninth but issued a four-pitch walk to start the inning. That's when things got interesting. Max Whitesell walked the bases loaded with one out to bring on Warren Hartzell, who had allowed three homers as Vanderbilt rallied late to beat the Raiders 4-3 in Friday's regional opener. Hartzell got a pop-out for the second out before Mike Mancini singled up the middle to cut the lead to 5-3. Rustan Rigdon then sent a ball deep to right center that bounced over the fence for a ground-rule double. Had the ball not left the field, Mancini likely would have scored the tying run on the play. But he was required to go back to third, and RJ Austin then flew out to right to end the game. Austin Nye (2-1) faced only seven batters, with Smith and Arnold taking him deep with two outs in the first for a 4-0 lead. Vanderbilt was the fourth national seed to be eliminated and became the first No. 1 to get bounced out in regionals since UCLA in 2015. ___ AP sports:

Paige DeSorbo Says Craig Conover Never Bought an Engagement Ring
If you thought the end of Summer House and Southern Charm's respective seasons would bring an end to the drama betweenPaige DeSorbo and Craig Conover, you've clearly never been through a Bravo breakup. Case in point: Just this week, Paige said that Craig never bought her an engagement ring before their split, despite what he told Bravo boss Andy Cohen. Quick catch up: During an appearance on Watch What Happens Live! in March, Craig told Andy that he had 'just returned' the engagement ring he bought for Paige that morning. 'I just don't need custody of it anymore, so I took it back to the guy,' he said. At the same time, he revealed that he was seeing someone new—later identified as Natalie Buffett. Clearly, he wanted it to be known that he was moving on from the drama of the breakup. But based on the Summer House season 9 reunion, he seems to have failed spectacularly. Though she didn't comment on the story at the time, Paige is speaking out now, casting doubt on Craig's story. 'That ring does not exist,' she said at the Summer House season 9 reunion. She went on to poke holes in her ex's story, calling it 'convenient' that he had decided to return the supposed ring the same morning of his Watch What Happens Live appearance. 'Him and his new girlfriend went and returned my ring? I don't think so, Andy. That's insane,' she said. Craig has yet to respond, but knowing these two, I'm sure it's only a matter of time. Ever since Paige and Craig broke up in late 2024, they've been going back and forth in the press, arguing about what really happened between them. Fans originally accused Paige of cheating (she denied it), which then led to a debate on whether or not Craig should defend her against false allegations (spoiler: he didn't even try) and Paige claiming that Craig was texting other women (Craig denies cheating). The whole split has gotten pretty messy. And with both parties continuing to take swipes at each other, it's pretty clear that this is one mess that isn't going to get cleaned up anytime soon.
