CHAPEL HILL, N.C. (AP) — Easton Carmichael homered twice and drove in four runs, Oklahoma matched its season high with 18 hits and Cade Crossland scattered five hits over seven innings as the Sooners advanced to the Chapel Hill Regional final with a 17-1 rout of Nebraska on Sunday. The Sooners (37-21) will play No. 5 national seed North Carolina on Sunday night and would have to win that game and beat the Tar Heels again Monday to reach super regionals for the first time since 2022. The Cornhuskers (33-29) went 1-2 in their second straight regional appearance. Oklahoma converted two hits and three errors into a 3-0 lead in the first.

Crossland (5-5) struck out nine in his longest outing of the season. He held the Huskers scoreless until Dylan Carey's infield single drove in an unearned run. Michael Catalano gave up one hit and a walk the rest of the way. Nebraska starter Will Walsh (4-8) gave up seven runs, five earned, in two innings. ___ AP sports:

Champions League final: Désiré Doué keeps smashing incredible records! 🤯
But where will it stop? After an absolutely perfect start, the Parisians are logically leading two goals to zero against Inter. Decisive passer on Hakimi's first goal, Désiré Doué then turned into a scorer to widen the gap on the Allianz Arena pitch. Advertisement Enough to achieve (yet another) fantastic record of precocity! He becomes the youngest player in history to be both a scorer and a decisive passer in a C1 final. Moreover, only 5 players have achieved this feat before him. As if that wasn't enough, he is also the 4th youngest player to score in a Champions League final. Simply prodigious! This article was translated into English by Artificial Intelligence.

Derry suffer third successive Christy Ring Final defeat
Derry suffered a third successive Christy Ring Cup Final defeat as they were beaten 1-27 to 1-24 by London at Croke Park. The Oak Leafers lost their previous two deciders against Kildare and Meath, and this year's three-point loss means their painful wait for a first Christy Ring Cup goes on. Advertisement London's narrow victory helped them to end their 13-year wait to lift the trophy and promotion to the Joe McDonagh Cup next year. The two sides had traded five points each before David Devine fired home a goal for London on 11 minutes. Derry responded through Thomas Brady's fantastic long-range strike which drew them level once again. London kept tagging on points and lead 1-15 to 1-12 at half-time courtesy of a few late points from Devine and Dylan Dawson. Derry rallied and managed to close the gap by the 51st minute, but Neil Rogers' men re-established their advantage through Conor O'Carroll, Dawson and Jack Morrisey as London saw out the victory. New York claim maiden Lory Meagher Cup In the Lory Meagher Cup, three first half goals proved decisive as New York beat 4-14 to 2-17 to win the competition for the first time. Advertisement New York were playing at Croke Park for the first time since 2006 after returning to the fifth tier of the hurling championship last weekend. Cavan, meanwhile, were back in the final for the first time since losing the decider against Fermanagh in 2021 but struggled and they trailed 3-11 to 0-13 at half-time against a ruthless New York side. Tomas O'Connor, AJ Willis and Dara Walsh all found the net whilst Adam Loughlin Stones and David Mangan racked up eight points between them to give the Exiles a comfortable lead at the break. Mangan scored their fourth goal after the break from the penalty spot and they continued to keep the scoreboard ticking over, leading 4-14 to 0-15 at one stage in the second half. Advertisement Cavan rallied and netted two goals in the last quarter of the game to threaten a comeback. Nicky Kenny pulled one back before Liam O'Brien scored a penalty for their second, but New York held on for the historic victory.

Britain's Got Talent champions ‘revealed' ahead of final tonight as act surges ahead at the bookies in race for the win
IT'S all to play for in this year's Britain's Got Talent final tonight – and the bookies have revealed a new favourite. With the grand finale hours away William Hill has made Hear Our Voice, the inspirational choir made up of victims of the Post Office Horizon scandal, the 6/4 frontrunners to win. 6 6 6 6 Amanda Holden 's Golden Buzzer act, The Blackouts, who stormed the semi-final vote earlier this week, are hot on their heels at 13/8. Meanwhile, Harry Moulding is sitting at 7/1 to win when the live final kicks off tonight, Saturday May 31, at 7pm on ITV. Olly Pearson, who won a Golden Buzzer early in the series, is trailing just behind at 8/1. A pack of other acts are battling it out at longer odds – including Ping Pong Pang and Stacey Leadbeatter at 12/1, and Binita Chetry as an outsider at 20/1. Bringing up the rear are Joseph Charm and Vinnie McKee, both longshots at 33/1, while Jasmine Rice is languishing at 40/1. William Hill spokesperson Lee Phelps said: 'Hear Our Voice have struck a real chord with the public and are now the ones to beat in Saturday night's final. "Their odds have shortened to 6/4 after their powerful semi-final performance. 'The Blackouts, who've been fan favourites from the start, are still strong contenders at 13/8 – but momentum seems to be shifting towards the choir, whose emotional story has really resonated with the nation.' However, KSI has tipped Stacey Leadbeatter to win the show. Today on ITV 's Lorraine on Friday, new Britain's Got Talent judge KSI, 31, tipped the singer to scoop the crown Speaking to host Andi Peters, he said: " Stacey (Leadbeatter) honestly, I hope she wins. "Like, I love Stacey. And her story's phenomenal. "Because, you know, working at a chicken shop and then being able to come through in front of an audience like that and sing her heart out. "I was just like mind blown. I was like, she needs to win this." Stacey Leadbeatter wowed the judges and audience with her audition, singing Leona Lewis ' version of Snow Patrol's Run. She had only performed once in public before her BGT appearance and had to retrain her voice due to a speech impediment. She said: "It is extremely hard, I have a video of me singing from four or five years ago and you couldn't actually understand properly what I was singing due to the severity of speech impediments. "So during lockdown I used to sit through like adult speech therapy sessions on YouTube and then I'd introduce it into my singing. "If I don't do certain exercises for say a couple of weeks at a time, I will start to revert back to how I was." 6
