Squandered opportunities early cost Hurricanes in Game 1 of Louisville Super Regional
The Miami Hurricanes dropped game one of the NCAA Louisville Super Regional, falling 8-1 Friday at Jim Patterson Stadium in Louisville. A five-run third inning propelled the Cardinals while the Hurricanes struggled to convert early opportunities – stranding eight runners over the first four innings. Miami starter AJ Ciscar (6-2) took the loss after allowing six earned runs on seven hits over 2 1/3 innings. Louisville right-hander Patrick Forbes (4-2) earned the win, striking out nine while surrendering just one earned run on four hits across 5.2 innings. In the top of the second inning, the Hurricanes missed a prime scoring opportunity with the bases loaded and one out after two walks and a hit batter from Louisville starter Patrick Forbes. But Forbes bounced back with a pair of strikeouts to escape the jam unscathed. With momentum shifting to the Cardinals, Louisville responded in the bottom half with back-to-back home runs from Garret Pike and Jake Munroe, giving the Super Regional host a 2-0 lead. In the following inning, Daniel Cuvet was hit by a pitch, Dorian Gonzalez Jr. doubled to right, and Derek Williams worked a walk to load the bases for the second consecutive frame. Senior Renzo Gonzalez followed with a sacrifice fly to left, bringing home Cuvet and trimming Miami's deficit to 2-1. Louisville broke the game open in the fourth inning, capitalizing on a series of miscues and timely hitting. After a leadoff groundout, Gavin Klein doubled down the left field line and Will Rose was intentionally walked. A hit-by-pitch loaded the bases, setting the stage for Louisville's offensive attack. Pike reached on a fielder's choice to the pitcher and advanced to second on a throwing error, which allowed two runs to score. Munroe followed with a three-run homer to left, extending the Cardinals' lead. The inning continued with back-to-back singles from Tague Davis and Kamau Neighbors, prompting a pitching change as AJ Ciscar was relieved by Josh Dorn, who finished the inning. Miami's bullpen limited the damage, allowing just one additional run on a sacrifice fly from Munroe in the fourth. However, the Hurricanes' offensive struggles persisted, finishing 0-for-11 with runners in scoring position and 2-for-16 with runners on base. Miami (34-26) will look to even the series and avoid elimination on Saturday against Louisville at 11 a.m. in a game that will be televised on ESPN.

Dodgers Predicted to Add Lousiville's Patrick Forbes
Dodgers Predicted to Add Lousiville's Patrick Forbes originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Los Angeles Dodgers are one of the most successful teams in Major League Baseball, largely due to their strategic spending. Advertisement However, the Dodgers have also found talent in the draft, allowing them to make blockbuster trades. At the very least, the hope is for the Dodgers to do that once again during the 2025 MLB draft, and there's reason to believe they'll do just that. Baseball America recently predicted that the Dodgers would select Patrick Forbes out of the University of Louisville, a pitcher who has also played some outfield during his time at Louisville. Los Angeles Dodgers' Andrew Friedman, President of baseball operations.© Jayne Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images 'Forbes' last three outings have seemingly taken him out of first-round consideration, but the Dodgers might be a team that's happy to scoop up his arm talent and help him find the zone more consistently. When he's over the plate, his fastball/slider combination is as electric as any pitcher in this class,' they wrote. Advertisement During the 2025 season for Louisville, Forbes had his struggles. He posted a 4.62 ERA, but struck out 98 hitters in 60.1 innings. His 29 walks are a bit concerning, but if he can find the zone more, he should be in a decent position to find success in the professional ranks. Coming out of high school, he was the 217th-ranked player in his class, according to Perfect Game. He was listed as a shortstop during his high school time, but also ran it up to 93 MPH on the mound, according to the service. The Dodgers may be looking to draft and trade players as quickly as possible. If Forbes is that player, they'll have to hope he develops the way he can in the professional ranks.

Veteran reflects on 'futility' of war as he prepares for his final Anzac Day march
Patrick Forbes is part of a military family with a legacy that stretches back to the Napoleonic Wars. Together with his father Brigadier Alexander Forbes and brother Lieutenant Jim Forbes, they have a special place in Australia's war history. They are believed to be the only family in Australia to have received the distinguished Military Cross for gallantry in three successive wars, from World War I to World War II to the Korean conflict. But as 94-year-old Patrick Forbes, a former Korean War officer, prepares for his last Anzac Day march, he has been reflecting on their service and the futility of conflict. Patrick Forbes was awarded a Military Cross for service in the Korean War. ( ABC News: Brant Cumming ) It is not that he is not proud of his family's significant place within Australia's war history. He just does not see it as something to be celebrated and more that they had a duty to serve when their country needed them. "Anybody who says they aren't frightened is stupid … in my humble opinion," Patrick Forbes said at his home in Adelaide. "You don't think about the person who is firing shells at you, you're worried about yourself, so you do it the best way you can. " You've got a job, you accept the responsibility and that's what you do. " 'Personal courage' As a lieutenant in the Korean War, Patrick Forbes was recognised for his role in helping his men defend "the Hook" – a defensive stronghold which withstood several enemy attacks during the three-year conflict. He was awarded the medal for his leadership and putting his own life in danger to protect those he commanded. "Whenever [there was a requirement] to carry out a dangerous or difficult task Lt Forbes was always present to carry it out," the recommendation for the Military Cross from 1953 read. Patrick Forbes's Military Cross next to his other service medals. ( ABC News ) "On two separate occasions, he was involved in recovering our casualties from within a minefield. " At all times his personal courage, zeal and efficiency were a constant inspiration to those who worked under him, and a great example to all members of the unit. " Alexander Forbes saluting King George VI in 1938. ( Supplied ) The same traits were recognised in his father, the then Major Alexander Forbes, while he fought at the Somme, in France. He was awarded his MC at Pozieres. Major Forbes went on to become a brigadier and organised the opening of the Australian War Memorial at Villers-Bretonneux in 1938. Dysentery prevented him from returning to the battlefield in World War II but he continued to serve in Australia. Alexander and Jim Forbes were awarded the Military Cross for service in World War I and World War II respectively. ( Supplied ) Patrick's brother Lieutenant Jim Forbes – who went on to become a minister in the Menzies government – was recognised for his actions in New Guinea in World War II when he climbed a tree to create an observation post while under fire and helped repel an enemy attack. "His total disregard for personal danger and coolness under heavy fire was outstanding and inspiring to all troops associated with him," the citation read. Another brother, David, also served as a fighter pilot in World War II. The Forbes family, including David, has a military history stretching back centuries. ( Supplied. ) One final march It is that service which is driving Patrick Forbes to march on Anzac Day one final time. He will be pushed by his sons Richard and Jonathon. "I'm nearly 95 and I won't be doing it again," Patrick Forbes said. "I want to show that the family had been involved when involvement was necessary. I'm proud of them." Son Richard Forbes said this Anzac Day will be an important last chapter for the entire family. Richard Forbes says this year's Anzac Day march will be important for his entire family. ( ABC News: Brant Cumming ) "We're not only very proud of his service, but we're very proud of his brothers, my grandfather and uncles and so on, my great uncles," Richard Forbes said. "It is a special thing to have three members of our family awarded military crosses in three consecutive wars. "It's special from the perspective that they were obviously very brave men who did something for the good of their unit, for the good of their regiment, and for the good of the nation. " From that perspective, it makes me very proud. " Patrick Forbes, 70 years after he served in Korea, thinks about the waste of life not just on his side of the conflict but on the other side too. Patrick Forbes was awarded numerous medals for his service. ( Supplied ) He also reflects often about the 3,000 Chinese soldiers killed attempting to take "the Hook" in the final days before an armistice was signed in Korea. "You think about the families of all those people … if anything pushed home the futility of decisions it was that," Patrick Forbes said. "The thing that should be emphasised is that there is nothing nice about war in any shape or form … and anything that should be done to stop it should be done. " We want to admire the people who did well at a certain point in time but we don't want to glorify it. " Richard Forbes said the ongoing intergenerational impact of war should also be remembered. The Forbes family. ( Supplied ) "Thinking about the fact a lot obviously made the ultimate sacrifice, but there were a lot of people that have to live with the lifelong suffering," Richard Forbes said. "I think that gets forgotten sometimes, those that returned didn't have any counselling support, they had nothing, and they had to battle away on their own." Patrick Forbes views the dawn service and remembering the lives lost as the key part of Anzac Day. He said he is pleased to see the large crowds that gather for the Anzac Day march, even as the number of veterans declines. Richard will march alongside his father Patrick in Adelaide. ( ABC News: Brant Cumming ) "You see the banners that go past first … then you'll see a wheelchair with one person in it and that's going to get less and less," he said. "Yet at the same time [the] number of people watching is continuing to increase so history is playing a part … I think that's important."
