NBA ROUNDUP: THUNDER DEMOLISH GRIZZLIES IN PLAYOFF OPENER
Aaron Wiggins scored 21 points off the bench and Jalen Williams added 20 as the Oklahoma City Thunder earned a 131-80 home rout of the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 1 of their Western Conference playoff series on Sunday.
The Thunder had plenty of blowout victories in the regular season, setting an NBA record for scoring margin in running away with the top seed in the West. They had also rolled past the Grizzlies in all four regular-season meetings by 13 or more points. Oklahoma City’s 51-point victory was the fifth largest in NBA playoff history, according to ESPN, and the largest in the first game of a playoff series.
After scoring 20 or more points in each of his final 72 games of the regular season, Oklahoma City’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander finished with just 15 points on 4-of-13 shooting. Chet Holmgren had 19 points and 10 rebounds and Isaiah Hartenstein added 14 points as the Thunder outscored Memphis 27-5 on fast-break points and delivered 24 points off 24 Grizzlies’ turnovers.
Ja Morant and Marvin Bagley III led Memphis with 17 points each. Bagley finished 8 of 8 from the field, including hitting a buzzer-beating shot from beyond halfcourt to end the third quarter.
Celtics 103, Magic 86
Derrick White made seven 3-point attempts and scored a team-high 30 points to lead Boston past visiting Orlando in Game 1 of their NBA Eastern Conference first-round playoff series.
Jayson Tatum added 17 points and 14 rebounds for second-seeded Boston, which received 19 points off the bench from Payton Pritchard. Jaylen Brown, who missed the final three regular-season games with posterior impingement in his right knee, finished with 16 points in 30 minutes.
Orlando’s Paulo Banchero led all scorers with 36 points. He also had 11 rebounds. Franz Wagner contributed 23 points and five assists, but no other Magic player scored more than Jonathan Isaac’s seven points. Orlando’s Wendell Carter Jr. grabbed 13 rebounds.
Cavaliers 121, Heat 100
Donovan Mitchell scored 30 points and Ty Jerome scored 16 of his 28 points in the fourth quarter as top-seeded Cleveland pulled away to defeat visiting Miami in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference first-round series.
Jerome, a backup point guard, was making his playoff debut in his sixth season. He also dished three assists in the final period after being named a finalist for the Sixth Man of the Year award earlier in the day. He made 10 of 15 field goal attempts, including 5 of 8 on 3-pointers. Mitchell, a six-time All-Star, posted his seventh straight 30-point performance in a series opener, tying Michael Jordan for the NBA record.
Bam Adebayo had 24 points and nine rebounds, and Tyler Herro scored 21 points for the Heat, who were playing their third game in five days. Miami needed play-in tournament wins at Chicago on Wednesday and Atlanta on Friday to become the first 10th seed to qualify.
Warriors 95, Rockets 85
Stephen Curry scored a game-high 31 points and Jimmy Butler III added 25 as Golden State held off host Houston in Game 1 of this Western Conference first-round series.
Curry, who shot 1-for-10 and scored three points in a home loss to the Rockets on April 6, was brilliant throughout. He finished 12-for-19 overall, drilled five 3-pointers and grabbed six rebounds. Butler added seven rebounds and six assists to his ledger as the visiting Warriors grabbed a 1-0 series lead with Game 2 set for Wednesday in Houston.
The Rockets shot just 39.1 percent and committed 17 turnovers that the Warriors converted into 25 points. Alperen Sengun posted 26 points and nine rebounds. Jalen Green and Fred VanVleet shot a combined 7-for-34 and totaled 17 points for Houston.

Tomas Hertl had a goal and an assist, Adin Hill made 18 saves and Pavel Dorofeyev also scored for Vegas, which improved to 9-2 in playoff openers at T-Mobile Arena.
The best-of-seven matchup continues Tuesday with Game 2 in Las Vegas, before moving to Saint Paul, Minn., for two games.
Matt Boldy scored both of the Wild’s goals and Kirill Kaprizov assisted on both. Filip Gustavsson stopped 23 of 26 shots.

MLB NEWS
MLB ROUNDUP: REDS POST FOOTBALL SCORE WITH 24 RUNS AGAINST ORIOLES
Austin Wynns piled up six hits and six RBIs while Noelvi Marte stroked a grand slam to highlight his five-hit, seven-RBI day as the Cincinnati Reds ripped the host Baltimore Orioles 24-2 on Sunday afternoon.
Wynns and Elly De La Cruz added homers while Austin Hays supplied four hits and four runs as the Reds finished with 25 hits and 11 walks while reeling off 19 consecutive runs. Every starter in Cincinnati’s lineup produced at least one hit, one run and one RBI.
Marte (5-for-7) cracked his eighth-inning grand slam off Orioles infielder Jorge Mateo while Wynns (6-for-7) hit his three-run homer in the ninth off fellow catcher Gary Sanchez. Taylor Rogers (1-0) worked a scoreless fifth on a bullpen day for Cincinnati while Randall Wynne claimed a save for going the final three innings.
Charlie Morton (0-5) has dropped all of his starts for the Orioles. He was shelled for seven runs in 2 1/3 innings as he surrendered seven hits and issued four walks. Adley Rutschman hit a solo homer in the eighth as he and Jordan Westburg notched two hits apiece.
Yankees 4, Rays 0
Max Fried took a no-hitter into the sixth while Trent Grisham, Cody Bellinger and Austin Wells each swatted a home run as New York beat host Tampa Bay at the Yankees’ spring training home in St. Petersburg, Fla.
Fried (4-0) initially carried his no-hitter into the eighth inning, but a sixth-inning Paul Goldschmidt error was changed to a Chandler Simpson infield single before Fried started the eighth. He finished with two hits, two walks and two strikeouts over 7 2/3 innings. Anthony Volpe added two hits for the Yankees.
Rays starter Ryan Pepiot (1-3) allowed three runs over six innings and walked one while fanning seven. Simpson and Jake Mangum recorded singles for Tampa Bay’s lone hits.
Brewers 14, Athletics 1
Logan Henderson allowed one run in six innings in his big-league debut and Milwaukee set a franchise record with nine stolen bases in a win over the visiting Athletics that claimed the rubber match of the three-game series.
Henderson (1-0), called up Tuesday from Triple-A Nashville, gave up three hits, including a solo homer in the fifth to Seth Brown. The right-hander struck out nine, walked one and finished his outing by striking out the side in the sixth. Tyler Alexander tossed the final three innings for his first career save.
The Brewers stole six bases during a four-run first inning off A’s starter Jeffrey Springs (3-2), who left in the third with right hamstring soreness. Milwaukee had just two hits in the inning, but was aided by three walks, two errors and a run-scoring balk. The Brewers’ previous single-game record for stolen bases was eight, set on Aug. 29, 1992, at Toronto. According to Elias Sports Bureau, the six stolen bases in the first inning were the most by any MLB team in the expansion era (since 1961).
Mariners 8, Blue Jays 3
Cal Raleigh and Rowdy Tellez hit two-run home runs as visiting Seattle jumped to a 6-0 lead and cruised to the win over Toronto.
Dylan Moore (2-for-5) added a solo shot for Seattle in the rubber match of a three-game series. Mariners starter Luis Castillo (2-2) allowed 10 hits and three runs over five innings, then four relievers combined to give up just one hit.
Toronto starter Easton Lucas (2-2) surrendered seven hits and six runs before being lifted with two outs in the second. Reliever Paxton Schultz fired 4 1/3 innings of scoreless relief in his major league debut and amassed eight strikeouts, which tied the franchise mark for strikeouts in a debut. Tyler Heineman notched three hits while Bo Bichette and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. added two apiece.
Braves 6, Twins 2
Matt Olson, Drake Baldwin and Marcell Ozuna hit home runs to back a solid pitching effort from Grant Holmes as Atlanta wrapped up a three-game sweep of visiting Minnesota.
The Braves extended their winning streak over the Twins to 11 games as Holmes (2-1) pitched 5 2/3 innings and allowed one run on four hits, four walks and a season-high seven strikeouts.
Twins starter Joe Ryan (1-2) went five innings and surrendered six runs on eight hits and one walk with five strikeouts. Minnesota managed just five hits, but Byron Buxton swatted a 434-foot solo shot in the seventh. The Georgia native went 2-for-5 with a double and was 5-for-13 in the series.
Marlins 7, Phillies 5 (10 innings)
Javier Sanoja, who entered the day with zero home runs and three RBIs in 27 career games, homered and drove in five runs as Miami avoided a sweep against host Philadelphia.
Sanoja blasted a 1-1 pitch over the left field fence to put the Marlins ahead 5-4 in the eighth. After Philadelphia scored on an infield single in the bottom half, Kyle Stowers’ 10th-inning sacrifice fly made it 6-5 and Sanoja’s grounder up the middle plated an insurance run.
Connor Norby added three hits for the Marlins while Dane Myers had two hits and scored twice. Bryce Harper recorded two hits and two RBIs for the Phillies, who had won their previous three games.
Guardians 5, Pirates 4 (10 innings)
Kyle Manzardo went 2-for-4 with a two-run homer as well as the eventual game-winning RBI to lead Cleveland over host Pittsburgh.
The Guardians completed a three-game sweep and prevailed despite closer Emmanuel Clase (3-0) surrendering three runs in the bottom of the ninth for his second blown save of the season. In the 10th, Manzardo lifted a sacrifice fly off Dennis Santana (0-1) deep enough to left to score Jhonkensy Noel from third. Steven Kwan added a two-run home run for Cleveland.
Adam Frazier’s two-run double in the bottom of the ninth started the Pirates’ comeback, scoring Valdez and Tommy Pham to cut its deficit to 4-3. Ke’Bryan Hayes soon tied the game with a single to score Frazier. Bryan Reynolds had three hits for Pittsburgh.
Dodgers 1, Rangers 0
Freddie Freeman drove home Will Smith with an eighth-inning sacrifice fly to back Tyler Glasnow and six relievers as Los Angeles beat Texas in the rubber game of the three-game interleague series in Arlington, Texas.
Freeman’s flyout to left field scored Smith, who provided a pinch-hit single to start the inning. Glasnow surrendered three hits while striking out six before being lifted one pitch into the fifth due to lower leg cramps. Ben Casparius (2-0), the fourth of seven Dodgers pitchers, retired all five batters he faced in the sixth and seventh.
The Rangers, who were shut out for the third time this season, were led by Josh Smith’s three singles.
White Sox 8, Red Sox 4
Edgar Quero and Andrew Vaughn each drove in two runs as visiting Chicago scored six runs over the final three innings to rally past Boston.
Vaughn highlighted his 2-for-5 performance with a two-run home run in the eighth, helping the White Sox break a six-game losing streak and end an 0-8 start on the road this season. Chicago’s Matt Thaiss hit a two-run homer in the first inning as part of a three-hit day while Luis Robert Jr. singled and scored twice.
Wilyer Abreu hit a three-run homer and Kristian Campbell went 2-for-4 with a double for Boston, which had won three straight and four of five.
Royals 4, Tigers 3 (10 innings)
Bobby Witt Jr. hit a 10th-inning sacrifice fly as Kansas City snapped a six-game losing streak with a win over host Detroit.
Mark Canha and Drew Waters each had two hits and an RBI for the Royals. Vinnie Pasquantino drove in the other run and Carlos Estevez (1-0) pitched the last two innings to get the win. Starter Michael Wacha gave up two runs and seven hits in 5 1/3 innings. He struck out five and walked none.
The Tiges’ Tarik Skubal, who didn’t give up a run in his previous two starts, allowed two runs and seven hits in five innings. He struck out four and walked one. Zach McKinstry had three hits and two RBIs and Kerry Carpenter supplied three hits with an RBI for Detroit.
Mets 7, Cardinals 4
The slumping Brandon Nimmo laced the tie-breaking two-out RBI single in the seventh inning for host New York, which completed a four-game sweep of St. Louis for the first since 1986.
Nimmo, mired in a 3-for-23 slump entering the contest, fell into a 1-2 hole against former teammate Phil Maton before he singled past diving shortstop Thomas Saggese to score Francisco Lindor from second. Soto finished with three RBIs, while Lindor was 3-for-5 with a leadoff homer.
The four-game losing streak ties a season high for the Cardinals, who were outscored 19-9 by New York in the series. Saggese had a two-run double for St. Louis.
Diamondbacks 3, Cubs 2 (11 innings)
Josh Naylor had three hits and two RBIs and drove in the tiebreaking run in the 11th inning as Arizona salvaged the finale of a three-game series against host Chicago.
After each team scored once in the 10th inning, Naylor singled off Jordan Wicks (0-1) with no outs in the 11th to drive in Geraldo Perdomo. D-backs reliever Shelby Miller (2-0) gave up an unearned run over two innings for the win.
Michael Busch had an RBI single in the first inning for the Cubs, who did not have another hit until Jon Berti’s infield single with one out in the eighth. They finished with four hits.
Nationals 3, Rockies 2 (Game 1)
Jake Irvin scattered three hits over 6 1/3 innings and Trey Lipscomb had two hits as Washington beat Colorado in the first game of a split doubleheader in Denver.
Irvin (2-0) struck out nine to beat Colorado for the first time in three career starts. Kyle Finnegan got the final three outs for his eighth save.
Rookies Zac Veen and Braxton Fulford each hit their first major league home runs for the Rockies, who have dropped eight straight. Colorado (3-17) is off to the worst start in franchise history. Rockies starter Kyle Freeland (0-4) left the game after two innings due to a blister on the middle finger of his left (pitching) hand.
Angels 5, Giants 4
Jo Adell capped a four-run bottom of the ninth with a one-out, bases-clearing double, delivering Los Angeles a victory over San Francisco in Anaheim, Calif., and denying right-hander Justin Verlander his first win of the season.
After Verlander threw six sharp innings in pursuit of career win No. 263 and Sam Huff hit his first home run since 2023, the Giants took a 4-1 lead into the ninth on the verge of a sixth win on a 10-game trip.
But the Angels, staring at a sixth loss in their last seven games, rallied against Giants closer Ryan Walker (0-1), who walked Mike Trout and served up singles to Jorge Soler and Logan O’Hoppe to load the bases with one out. Zach Neto was hit by a pitch, forcing in a run, then Adell lined a two-strike double into the left field corner for three runs and the victory.

ROOKIE INGRID LINDBLAD WINS JM EAGLE LA CHAMPIONSHIP IN THIRD START
Ingrid Lindblad of Sweden posted a final-round, 4-under-par 68 and prevailed at the JM Eagle LA Championship on Sunday in Los Angeles.
Lindblad — who was making her third start in her first season on the LPGA Tour — shot 21-under 267 for the week at El Caballero Country Club, with 68s on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday and a red-hot round of 63 on Friday.
Lindblad shared the 54-hole lead with Lauren Coughlin and Japan’s Akie Iwai, but Coughlin and Iwai played in the final pairing of the day. Lindblad was preparing for a potential playoff as Iwai and Coughlin played the par-4 18th; Iwai was at 21 under after her fifth birdie of the day at No. 16, and Coughlin was in the hunt at 20 under.
Neither player hit the green in regulation, and Iwai’s chip rolled past the pin and left her several feet for par to force a playoff. The left-to-right putt missed narrowly to the right of the cup, leaving Iwai to settle for a 69 and second place.
Lindblad, 25, said she was “a little bit” surprised she earned her maiden LPGA win so soon.
“I mean, you should never not expect it, right?” she said on the Golf Channel broadcast. “But obviously got it done in a couple starts. It’s kind of crazy.”
Lindblad made five birdies through her first eight holes along with a pair of bogeys. She responded to the bogeys at Nos. 3 and 6 with runs of consecutive birdies each time. Her final birdie came at the par-5 11th, and she came home with seven straight pars.
“I was still in some rough, but I made a couple birdies on the front nine and then kinda just slowed down on the back,” Lindblad said. “Obviously, I feel like I could have even had a couple more on the back nine but here we are.”
El Caballero was hosting an LPGA event for the first time since 2004, when a tournament called the Office Depot Championship was won by none other than Swedish golf legend Annika Sorenstam. That fact wasn’t lost on her countrywoman.
“It means a lot,” Lindblad said. “She’s done a lot for us in women’s golf and she’s a big inspiration.”
Coughlin also finished her round with a bogey and shot 70, settling for a tie for third at 19 under with Germany’s Esther Henseleit (64) and Japan’s Miyu Yamashita (66).
JOEL DAHMEN STUMBLES AT FINISH LINE AS GARRICK HIGGO WINS PUNTACANA
Garrick Higgo of South Africa was the surprise winner of the Corales Puntacana Championship when Joel Dahmen squandered a late lead on Sunday in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic.
Dahmen led after each of the first three rounds and held a one-shot edge over Higgo with three holes to play. Dahmen proceeded to bogey each of his remaining holes — including a 1-foot par putt that lipped out at the par-3 17th hole.
Higgo, who bogeyed Nos. 13 and 17 playing in the group ahead of Dahmen, parred his last hole to shoot an even-par 72 and get in the clubhouse at 14-under 274. Dahmen needed to make par at the 18th to force a playoff, but he missed his 8-foot par putt.
Michael Thorbjornsen also had a chance to forge a playoff, but he missed a 4-foot par putt on the final hole. Dahmen (76) and Thorbjornsen (73) shared second place with Alejandro Tosti of Argentina (68), Keith Mitchell (71) and Jeremy Paul of Germany (72) at 13 under.
Higgo’s second career win on the PGA Tour earned a $720,000 check, but also granted him a two-year exemption. The latter was a motivational factor for Higgo, who lost his Tour card at the end of 2024. As a limited Tour member in 2025, Puntacana marked just his third start of this season.
“I’d say it’s definitely a bit of a relief,” Higgo said, “but I’ve truly enjoyed the journey of — obviously it was definitely hard to take finishing 135 on the FedEx (Cup standings) last year, but like this is unbelievable and this is why I play the game. You know, the journey, like I’m going to go through a down again, everybody does, I’m going to have ups. I just truly enjoy the journey.”
Higgo, 25, became the youngest winner in tournament history.
“I’ve changed my swing completely and obviously I’ve had to deal with some injuries,” Higgo said. “You know, it’s been a lot of good things. I played well in Savannah a couple weeks ago, played good at Torrey (Pines) in the wind. Like I’ve steadily kept improving.”
Dahmen, meanwhile, was highly critical of his performance.
“I think I’m in a little bit of shock, honestly,” Dahmen said. “It’s not how you win a golf tournament, I’ll tell you that. I don’t deserve to win it. You know, bogeying the last three is inexcusable. Middle of the fairway with an 8-iron on 16 to hit it where I hit it, you can’t get up and down over there.
“I don’t know what happened on the short one on 17. I mean I’m obviously nervous, but unfortunately I’m prone to that at times. You can call it lapse in concentration. It’s not like a yippee thing, it’s not like one of those things, but bad time to do it.
“And then 18’s just a really hard hole. We had 220 (yards to the) pin and wind surfed on it and hit a very average chip. I hit a good putt. I actually thought it was a straight putt and broke a little left on me. All of a sudden I wake up and I lost the golf tournament.”
Dahmen fired a first-round 62 and stood 16 under par through two rounds, which set the tournament’s 36-hole scoring record. He also had previously won this tournament in 2021, his only PGA Tour win to date.
“This one could take a while to get over,” Dahmen said. “It’s one of those things, you learn more in defeat unfortunately. I don’t know what I’m going to do yet.”
JUSTIN THOMAS WINS RBC HERITAGE IN PLAYOFF TO END DROUGHT
Justin Thomas won for the 16th time on the PGA Tour, yet it felt different Sunday in Hilton Head Island, S.C.
“I didn’t realize how much I missed winning,” he said of the emotions that accompanied the aftermath of the winning putt.
Thomas rolled in a birdie from 21 feet out on the first playoff hole to win the RBC Heritage at Harbour Town Golf Links, claiming a tournament title for the first time in nearly three years.
Thomas and Andrew Novak, who was seeking his first victory on the PGA Tour, were at 17-under 267 through 72 holes. Novak was in the last pairing for the third time this season but couldn’t find a way to win.
Thomas, a two-time major champion, hadn’t won since capturing the 2022 PGA Championship.
“Winning is hard. It’s really, really hard,” Thomas said. “I’ve worked my butt off, stayed patient, stayed positive.”
Thomas shot 3-under 68, ending his bogey-free round with three consecutive pars. Novak was off the mark on a would-be winning 8-foot birdie putt on the last hole of regulation and also had 68 for the round.
“I just missed on the reads there,” he said.
Thomas has been in playoffs seven times on the tour, capturing victories in five of those.
So it was another close call for Novak.
“Not so much as far as emotions,” he said. “I’m not as frustrated as I thought I would be. I feel like I did a lot of good things. … I need to go out there and get a win at some point, but all of these finishes are great.”
Thomas led after the first and second rounds. He went ahead on the 15th hole Sunday with a 24 1/2-foot birdie putt, but Novak countered with a birdie from about 17 feet away on the 16th.
“I’m pretty proud of putting myself in that position when I really felt like I wasn’t swinging it that great this week,” Novak said. “The fact that I was able to scrap out almost a win with not really swinging my best.”
Daniel Berger (65 on Sunday), Brian Harman (69), Maverick McNealy (70) and Canada’s Mackenzie Hughes (67) tied for third place at 14 under. England’s Tommy Fleetwood (70) was seventh at 13 under.
“Just missed a couple swings on the back nine,” Harman said. “If I had four or five swings back over the tournament, I think I would have been right there.”
Hughes said the top-10 outcome could be beneficial in the big picture.
“To have a result like this and to do it when I know the points are going to be amplified (in the tour’s revamped system), it’s massive for me,” Hughes said.
Defending champion Scottie Scheffler had climbed the leaderboard with three birdies in a five-hole stretch until a double-bogey 7 on the 15th hole and a bogey on No. 17 doomed his round. He shot 70, tying for eighth place with Russell Henley (70) and third-round leader Si Woo Kim of South Korea (74) at 12 under.
Scheffler, the reigning world No. 1 golfer, remains without a championship this year.
“I just needed a few more shots out there, which was definitely there for the taking for me,” Scheffler said. “I just didn’t quite take advantage of them.”
Kim was 2 over through 12 holes and his troubles continued with a double-bogey 5 on No. 14.
Bud Cauley’s 64 marked the best score of the final round. That put him at 7 under and tied for 32nd place.

TAYLOR’S HISTORIC DAY FINISHES OFF SERIES WIN
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Junior outfielder Devin Taylor has done a lot of amazing things during his three-year career with the Hoosiers. But he has never been quite as efficient as he was in Sunday’s (April 20) 15-5 (F/8) win over Maryland at Bart Kaufman Field.
The five-tool left fielder reached safely in all six plate appearances, working three walks and three hits. That three-hit day includes a three-run home run that brought the run-rule into effect in the rubber match against the Terrapins in the eighth inning.
Since at least 2005, no IU player had ever reached base safely in every plate appearance while recording at least three hits and three walks. That was until Taylor woke up on Sunday morning. He made trip to the batter’s box count as the Hoosiers finished off the series victory over Maryland.
IU’s offense stranded a ton of runners in the first half of the ballgame but tore Maryland’s bullpen apart for 10 runs from the sixth inning through the last at-bat in the eighth inning. The Hoosiers hit five home runs, led by two from freshman first baseman Jake Hanley.
The top three batters (Moore, Taylor, Dickerson) in IU’s order combined to go 9-for-12 at the plate with nine runs scored, nine RBIs and five walks. Freshman third baseman Will Moore moved into the leadoff spot for the first time in his career and reached base on five occasions.
After pitching the ninth inning in Friday’s win, graduate student pitcher Ben Grable got the start on Sunday and worked four innings of one-run baseball. Sophomore southpaw Ryan Rushing and fifth-year senior pitcher Gavin Seebold combined to secure the final 12 outs that IU needed in the eight-inning win.
The Hoosiers will play the next eight games away from Bloomington – beginning with a game at Victory Field in Indianapolis on Wednesday (April 23) against Ball State. Conference play continues next weekend (April 25-27) against Big Ten leaders Iowa in Iowa City.

Inside the Box Score
• IU’s offense racked up 15 runs and 17 hits without finishing their at-bats in the eighth inning.
• All nine starters worked their way into the hit column.
• Between walks and hit-by-pitches, IU recorded 10 free passes.
• The top three batters in IU’s lineup each had three hits.
Notes to Know
• The IU offense hit five home runs in Sunday’s win – the second time the Hoosiers have gone yard at least five times in a single game this season. It’s the first time the team has hit five home runs in a Big Ten game since May 17, 2024 (5 – vs. Michigan). Four different players combined on the five long balls.
• Freshman first baseman Jake Hanley had the second multi-home run game of his young career (March 14 – vs. Ohio State). He hadn’t homered in his last eight games but takes his season tally to nine in 2025. He just needs one more home run to ensure that IU has a fourth-straight season with a true freshman hitting at least 10 home runs.
• Junior outfielder Devin Taylor reached base safely in all six plate appearances on Sunday. He worked three walks but also finished the game with three hits. He ended the contest just a triple short of the cycle and finished the contest in run-rule fashion with a three-run blast.
• He is the first IU player – since at least 2005 – to reach safely in all six plate appearances while recording at least three walks and three hits in the same game. His three free passes also helped Taylor become the third IU player since 2001 (Kyle Schwarber & Carter Mathison) to be walked at least 110 times in their career.
Up Next
IU will be away from Bart Kaufman Field for the next two weeks. First up on the trip from home is a stop at Victory Field for the second meeting of the year with Ball State. The game can be heard on the Indiana Sports Radio Network via IUHoosiers.com/Audio.

BOILERMAKERS SCORE 8 UNANSWERED TO RALLY FOR WIN AT PSU
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Purdue Baseball scored first for the third day in a row but otherwise flipped the script on Penn State by reeling off eight unanswered runs after facing a five-run deficit, rallying to take the series finale 11-8 Sunday.
The Boilermakers (25-14, 6-12 Big Ten) avoided a series sweep, winning the finale of a Big Ten series for the first time this season.
The Nittany Lions (24-14, 12-9 Big Ten) won the first two games of the series by scoring 10 unanswered in both contests. Penn State scored eight unanswered runs Sunday. But relief pitchers Michael Vallone and Avery Cook teamed up for five consecutive zeros to finish the game for the visitors.
Purdue scored three times in the top of the eighth to break an 8-8 tie. Brandon Anderson drove in the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly. As the leadoff man in the lineup, Anderson doubled twice and scored three times. Camden Gasser also scored three times from the 9-hole in the lineup. Gasser, Anderson and Logan Sutter teamed up for three consecutive doubles in the third inning as the Boilers took an early 3-0 lead.
CJ Richmond beat the shift with a pair of two-out RBI singles, helping to power the Purdue comeback with a two-run single in the fifth inning and punctuating the three-run top of the eight with another timely hit.
SUNDAY NOTABLES
• Purdue ended a six-game losing streak in road games and won its first series finale in Big Ten play since April 28, 2024 (at Northwestern) – ending an eight-game skid.
• The Boilermakers overcame a deficit of at least four runs for the second time this week. They rallied back from a five-run hole to win for the first time since game No. 4 of the 2024 campaign, a Sunday in they came back to beat Stony Brook after trailing 5-0 entering the bottom of the second.
• Logan Sutter connected for a double for the fourth consecutive game and continues to lead the Big Ten with 19 doubles, good for a tie for eighth place on Purdue’s single-season list. The team record is 21 doubles and the last 20-double season was posted by Kevin Plawecki as the Big Ten Player of the Year in 2012.
• Camden Gasser reached base safely seven times for the series, posting a .700 on-base percentage in 11 plate appearances from the 9-hole in the lineup. He also led the team with five runs scored. Gasser joined Lukas Cook as Boilermakers to post a .700 OBP in a weekend series this season, achieving the feat for the third time at Purdue. He’s the only Boilermaker to do it three times in a career since at least the beginning of the 2012 campaign.
• Avery Cook earned his second victory of the week by working three innings of hitless relief. The fifth-year Boilermaker matched the longest outing of his career and worked three innings without allowing a hit for the first time.
Anderson had the best at-bat of the game to open the seventh inning, winning a 12-pitch battle with a gapper to right-center for his second double of the day. Purdue went on to record three consecutive hits against PSU reliever Harrison Lollin. Sutter plated Anderson with an RBI single and later scored the game-tying run when new reliever Diamond Loosli threw the ball away on a failed pickoff.
Albert Choi and Gasser reached base safely to begin the top of the eighth, setting the stage for the game-winning rally. Anderson connected for the sac fly to left field, Avery Moore executed a successful squeeze bunt after PSU intentionally walked Sutter and Richmond plated Sutter to cap the comeback.
Cook struck out PSU’s 3- and 5-hole hitters in the ninth inning to prevent the tying run from coming to the plate.
The Lions’ five-run third inning was powered by a throwing error on a swinging bunt with the bases loaded. All three runners scored on the play. Two batters later, Jesse Jaconski homered to left field for the second day in a row. Penn State enjoyed a number of long at-bats in the frame, taking the count full with four different batters in the final inning for starter Austin Klug.
Vallone regrouped after giving up consecutive two-out, run-scoring hits to PSU’s 2- and 3-hole hitters in the fourth inning. The lefty went on to retire the final seven batters he faced across his three innings before handing off to Cook after Purdue had tied it in the seventh.
The Boilermakers are back in action Tuesday when they host a 30-win Austin Peay team at 6 p.m. ET.

BOILERS CAN’T HOLD 36-HOLE LEAD; FINISH AS RUNNER-UP AT BOILERMAKER INVITATIONAL
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The Purdue men’s golf team couldn’t hold a late lead and finished as the runner-up at the Boilermaker Invitational, which concluded on a windy Easter Sunday at Ackerman-Allen Golf Course.
The Boilermakers shot a 5-over par 289, which helped Marquette overcome a four-shot difference entering today’s final round, after the Golden Eagles fired a 1-under par 283 to defeat the Boilermakers by two shots.
Marquette finished with a 16-under par 836 (278-275-283) to defeat Purdue at 14-under par 838 (281-268-289). Illinois and Michigan State tied for third at 10-under par 842, while Notre Dame and Indiana tied for fifth at 9-under par 843.
The 838 is tied for the 11th-lowest, 54-hole tournament score in school history.
The Boilermakers were in position for their third win of the spring season with six holes to play, but scuffled down the stretch on holes 14 through 18. Purdue’s four counting scores played the five holes in a combined 8-over par, while Marquette played the stretch in 1-over par.
Nonetheless, Purdue wrapped up the spring with a 48-4-1 head-to-head record with two titles, a runner-up finish and a fourth-place showing entering next weekend’s Big Ten Championships in Baltimore.
Sam Easterbrook led the Boilermakers with a T-5 finish at 5-under par 208 (69-66-73). Easterbrook shared the lead with five holes to play, but suffered a double-bogey on No. 15, which essentially ended his threat to be the medalist.
The finish was his sixth top-10 finish of the season and fourth top-5 finish in 10 events. He’s posted six straight top-17 finishes.
Nels Surtani finished tied for 13th at 2-under par 211 (68-69-74), and was in position for a top-five finish, before he played his final nine holes in 4-over par. It marked his first top-15 finish of the spring season.
Kentaro Nanayama finished tied for 18th at 1-under par 212 (71-67-74).
Freshman Supapon Amornchaichan had one of his best days as a Boilermaker, shooting a 3-under par 68 for a 54-hole total of even-par 213 (73-72-68), good for T-23.
Jenson Forrester finished tied for 43rd at 3-over par 216 (73-66-77).
The Boilermakers will likely head to Baltimore as the fifth seed for the Big Ten Championships behind Illinois, UCLA, Northwestern and Oregon. Action gets underway Friday at the Baltimore Country Club.

SUGIYAMA PLACES 12TH, BOILERS FINISH 11TH AT B1G CHAMPIONSHIPS
HAVRE DE GRACE, Md. – Momo Sugiyama carded a final round 73 (+1) Sunday, also finishing 1-over par (72-72-73—217) for the entire Big Ten Championships, to lead Purdue Women’s Golf in the conference tournament. The senior tied for 12th on the individual leaderboard, while the Boilermakers (+27) placed 11th as a team.
No. 5 Oregon (-12) captured the conference crown by 14 shots in its first year in the Big Ten, thanks in large part to a final round 276 (-12). No. 24 Michigan State (+2) and Illinois (+6) rounded out the Top 3. Purdue shot 11-over as a team during the final round, as the putters struggled in similar fashion to the first day of play.
Sugiyama earned her 21st Top 20 performance as a Boilermaker, including the sixth of the season. After an opening bogey on Sunday, she made back-to-back birdies to get into red figures and only two shots off the lead. The Australian followed with nine straight pars to remain within striking distance, but a pair of bogeys at the 13th and 18th dropped her just outside the Top 10.
Jasmine Kahler was right behind Sugiyama with a 74 (+2), playing the final 14 holes 1-under par after a tough start. Samantha Brown, Jocelyn Bruch and Lauren Timpf all shot 76 (+4) in the final round. Bruch matched Kahler with a team-high four birdies on the day. The freshmen finished strong as Brown went 1-under through the final six holes, while Timpf parred her last five holes.
Sitting at No. 41 in the national rankings, the Boilermakers plan to see their name called on Wednesday’s NCAA Selection Show (1 p.m. ET on GOLF Channel). NCAA Regional play will take place at six sites (May 5-7): Charlottesville, Virginia – Birdwood Golf Course, Columbus, Ohio – OSU Golf Club (Scarlet Course), Golf Canyon, Arizona – Superstition Mountain Golf and Country Club, Lexington, Kentucky – University Club of Kentucky, Lubbock, Texas – The Rawls Course and Norman, Oklahoma – Jimmie Austin OU Golf Club.

NOTRE DAME BASEBALL
IRISH PREVAIL IN BACK-AND-FORTH BATTLE TO SWEEP STANFORD
STANFORD, Calif. – Carson Tinney was perfect at the plate and Bino Watters hammered a go-ahead home run in the top of the ninth as the Notre Dame baseball team fought off host Stanford for a 10-9 win on Sunday to sweep the ACC series against the Cardinal.
Carson Tinney drilled a one-out double off the wall in the top of the first to continue a hot weekend at the dish for the Irish. Back-to-back grounders, however, stopped the scoring chance short in the opening at-bats for Notre Dame. Jackson Dennies retired the side in order to make quick work of the Stanford bats in the first inning.
Estevan Moreno put the Irish on the scoreboard in the top of the second with a no-doubt home run over the left field wall. Dennies continued to be efficient on the bump as the grad student had his second three-up, three-down effort in the second inning.
Jared Zimbardo dropped a one-out single to center field, and Carson Tinney drilled a single up the middle to put runners on the corners in the third. An infield ground out by Bino Watters drove in Zimbardo to put the Irish up 2-0. Parker Brzustewicz went the other way with a single through the right side for a two-out RBI single as Tinney came around to score for a 3-0 lead. Dennies struck out the first two batters in the bottom of the third, and Jared Zimbardo tracked down a warning track catch to end the inning to roll the game over to the fourth.
Moreno led off the fourth with a double down the left field line, but the Irish were unable to capitalize on the chance in the inning. The Cardinal got on the scoreboard in the bottom half of the inning with a pair of runs to make it a 3-2 game through four.
Jared Zimbardo led off the top of the fifth with a single and stole second to get into scoring position. Carson Tinney punched a single through the five-six hole to put runners on first and third for the Irish. Parker Brzustewicz drew a one-out walk to load the bases. After a Stanford pitching change, Connor Hincks drilled the first pitch of his at-bat down the right field line for a bases-clearing triple to put the Irish ahead 6-2. Moreno then used a sacrifice fly to drive in Hincks to extend the advantage to 7-2. Stanford countered with a run in the bottom of fifth to make it a 7-3 contest.
The Cardinal pushed four runs across the plate in the bottom of the sixth to knot things up at 7-7 heading into the seventh inning.
Carson Tinney would not be denied as the catcher drilled his fourth home run of the weekend to quickly get the lead back for the Irish in the top of the seventh. Stanford put a pair of runs on the scoreboard in the bottom half of the inning to go ahead 9-8.
Stanford put a pair of runners on base in the bottom of the eighth, but Jayce Lee ran down a fly ball in left field to record the second out before Estevan Moreno collected a soft fly in right on the shift to keep it a one-run game going into the ninth.
Carson Tinney led off the top of the ninth with a rocket single to left field for the Irish. Bino Watters then went opposite field with the first pitch he saw for a two-run, go-ahead home run to put the Irish ahead 10-9. The Cardinal put a pair of runners on with just one out gone in the bottom of the ninth. Tobey McDonough induced an infield grounder for the second out, and a soft fly ball in center field was collected by Estevan Moreno to give the Irish the 10-9 win and the ACC series sweep.
Jackson Dennies went three-complete and struck out a pair after starting the contest for the Irish. Kellan Klosterman, Chase Van Ameyde, Dylan Heine, and Oisin Lee all saw action on the bump in relief on the day before Tobey McDonough closed out the final 2.2 innings. McDonough struck out two and did not surrender a run on his way to earning the win.
Carson Tinney had a massive day at the plate to cap off a stellar series. Tinney was 5-for-5 with a double, a home run, an RBI, and four runs scored. It marks new career-highs for the sophomore catcher for hits and runs scored in a game. Additionally, he is the first Irish hitter since 2011 to go 5-for-5 in a game. Tinney hit .750 for the weekend with nine hits, two doubles, four home runs, seven RBI, and 10 runs scored. The sophomore posted an .800 on-base percentage with a 1.917 slugging percentage and caught all four Stanford base runners trying to steal against the Irish on the weekend.
Estevan Moreno was 2-for-4 with a home run, a double, two RBI, and a run. Jared Zimbardo added a pair of singles and scored twice. Bino Watters walked once and hit the go-ahead home run to cap off a three-RBI day at the plate. Connor Hincks had a triple and three RBI with a run, and Parker Brzustewicz had a hit, an RBI, and a run. Davis Johnson belted a double in his lone at-bat of the game in the win.
The Irish (20-17, 7-14 ACC) return home to host Purdue Fort Wayne for a midweek matchup on Wednesday, April 23. The game is slated for 5:30 p.m. Admission is free for all home regular season baseball contests.

IU INDY MEN’S GOLF
BOSWELL CONTINUES TO LEAD #HLGOLF CHAMPIONSHIPS; JAGS TIED FOR SECOND
HOWEY-IN-THE-HILLS, Fla. – The IU Indianapolis men’s golf team continued its solid play on Sunday (Apr. 20) as the Jaguars carded a second round 298 at the Horizon League Championships and is tied for second among the 10-team field heading into Monday’s finale. Sophomore Titus Boswell holds a three-shot lead over the field at 141 after shooting even par 72 on Sunday.
Wright State leads the way at 594 and is three shots clear of the Jaguars and Cleveland State as those three schools will make up the final pairings on Monday, beginning at 8:20 a.m.
While Boswell continued to carry the load with an even par, 72, behind him Noah Kirsch shot 2-over 74 and Sam McWilliams carded 3-over 75. Sophomore Brady Schier came in at 5-over 77 and Morgan Tournemire posted a round of 6-over 78 and wasn’t countable.
Boswell was even at the turn after making birdie on the always challenging No. 17. He went bogey-birdie-bogey on Nos. 3-5 before burying a long birdie putt on No. 8 to get back to even. He closed with a solid par on No. 9 to end his round.
Kirsch was brilliant on his first nine, making four birdies on his opening eight holes before giving it back with a triple bogey on No. 18. However, he bounced back with 37 on his final nine to close at 2-over.
McWilliams fought his way to 75, despite making just one birdie on the day. Schier was also even at the turn, but made a pair of double bogeys late in the day to close at 77. Tournemire did much the opposite, shaking off a 42 on his opening nine to card 36 over the final nine holes, including seven pars.
For the week, McWilliams and Schier are tied for 17th overall at 152 and Kirsch sits tied for 24th overall. Tournemire is 32nd overall.
The Jaguars continue to lead the field in birdies with 31 overall, but rank near the bottom in pars at 96. The Jags have scored well on the par-5’s, playing them to 7-under as a team for the week.
A full recap and results will be posted to IUIndyJags.com following Monday’s round.
IU INDY SOFTBALL
GILBERT CAPS SENIOR WEEKEND CELEBRATION WITH WALK-OFF TRIPLE
INDIANAPOLIS – In a pitcher’s duel and defensive battle, IU Indy outlasted Oakland in dramatic fashion with a 1-0 walk-off win in the ninth inning on Sunday afternoon.
Morgan Gilbert delivered the game-winner, drilling a triple to right-center to score Corrine Martz and cap off a tightly contested Horizon League match up. Martz, pinch running after a lead-off walk by Kinsey Pfeiffer, came around to score the lone run of the game as the Jaguars improved to 18-25 (12-9 Horizon).
The win was anchored by a pitching gem in the circle from Clara Phariss, who tossed a complete-game shutout, scattering eight hits while striking out six and stranding 10 Oakland runners.
IU Indy’s defense helped seal the win. The Jaguars made several highlight-reel plays to keep the Golden Grizzlies off the scoreboard, including multiple diving grabs.
Oakland had several opportunities to score in both the eighth and ninth innings, but the relentless IU Indy defense rose to the occasion every time. In the top of the ninth, center fielder Kendal Calvert laid out to snag a line drive with two runners on base, preserving the scoreless tie and setting the stage for Gilbert’s walk-off hit.
Calvert led IU Indy offensively with two hits and three stolen bases, while Gilbert reached base twice and tallied the game-winning RBI. Molly Kable added two hits and Reese Rosenbaum added the sixth IU Indy hit.
IU Indy will next travel across town to Butler for a midweek non-conference match up on Tuesday, April 29. The Jags and Bulldogs are set for a 4:00 PM first pitch.
BALL STATE WOMEN’S GOLF
DRISCOLL MAKES HISTORY IN MAC CHAMPIONSHIPS OPENING ROUND
MUNCIE, Ind. – – Ball State women’s golf junior Jasmine Driscoll opened the 2025 Mid-American Conference Women’s Golf Championships with a bang, tying the lowest opening round score in league history with a -5 (67) Easter Sunday at the Delaware Country Club.
“Jasmine played a fantastic round of golf,” head coach Cameron Andry said. “Her ball-striking was excellent, and she played with poise and discipline. It’s not surprising because she has been working hard, and her game has been trending for the last several weeks.”
Driscoll’s effort, which is a career-low and ties as the second-lowest round relative to par in program history, including a tournament-best six birdies on the 72-par, 6,053-yard course. It is also the lowest round shot in a MAC Championships by a Ball State student-athlete, topping the 69 shot by Jenna Hague at the 2012 event held at the Hawthorns Country Club in Fishers, Indiana.
After four straight pars to open the event, Driscoll made the first of her six birdies on the par 4, 356-yard fifth hole. She also birdied the par 3, 165-yard eighth and finished her opening nine holes a -2 (34). She then light up the back nine, carding four more birdies for a -3 (33). Overall, she tied for the tournament lead on the courses par 3s (-1 / 2.75), par 4s (-2 / 3.80) and par 5s (-2 / 4.50).
Led by Driscoll’s effort, the Cardinals are currently tied for fifth among the 10-team field at +14 (302) but are only six strokes back of second-place Bowling Green (+8 / 296) and 13 back of tournament leader Kent State (+1 / 289) which is vying for its 26th consecutive MAC team championship.
“We competed our tails off today,” Andry said about the entire team’s effort. “I thought we showed some visible nerves to start which is part of playing in a championship and probably amplified by playing in front of the home crowd. So, we didn’t take advantage of the early holes like we needed to, but we showed a lot of grit. Unfortunately, we also made some uncharacteristic mistakes with several big numbers on the card.”
Individually, Driscoll is four shots better than a trio of players tied at -1 (71), including the Golden Flashes’ Leon Takagi and Sammie Dolce and Addison Kartusch from the Falcons.
Also turning in countable scores for the Cardinals Sunday afternoon were junior Sarah Gallagher and freshman Sophie Korthuijs who are currently tied for 29th at +6 (78), along with sophomore JJ Gregston who is tied for 32nd at +7 (79).
Gallagher led the field of 50 players with 15 total pars, including eight straight to open the day. Korthuijs turned in 10 pars and two birdies in her MAC Women’s Golf Championships debut.
Gregston bookended her round with birdies, while adding another on the par 4, 359-yard ninth. She also carded nine pars.
Rounding out Ball State’s competitors on the opening day of the championships was senior Sabrina Langerak who finished the day at +9 (81). Her 11 total pars were the second-most for a Ball State player and tied for 11th among the field.
The second round of the 2025 Mid-American Conference Women’s Golf Championships starts at 9:30 a.m. Monday with Ball State’s quintet teeing off in the third wave of teams starting at 11:20 a.m.

BALL STATE MEN’S GOLF
BELLAR AND VETERANS LEAD RESURGENT CARDINALS AT BOILERMAKER INVITATIONAL
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Battling injury since the start of the spring semester, Kash Bellar fired his best round in a team competition since last fall and helped lead Ball State to a strong eighth-place finish Sunday at the Boilermaker Invitational. The Cardinals were tied in eighth place with Notre Dame after Saturday’s first round, among 18 schools featuring five from the Mid-American Conference plus the Irish and six Big Ten teams. Ball State remained in eighth place after 36 holes and were in the same spot when the final round concluded on Sunday.
Scores were low and competition tight through two rounds Saturday. Sunday, scores rose but Ball State was among just four schools to navigate the par-71, 7,275-yard Ackerman-Allen Golf Course with a team score of par or better over the final 18 holes. While unable to gain ground behind champion Marquette (836), second-place Purdue (838), four more Big Ten programs and Notre Dame (843), Ball State (849) held firm in the eighth position ahead of four other MAC schools and Iowa (863). In a final tune-up for next week’s MAC Championship, the defending champion Cardinals bested Toledo (854) in ninth place, Miami (857) in 10th and Northern Illinois (861) in 11th.
Ball State’s steadiest golfer over 54 holes. and just one of nine in the tournament to shoot par or better in every round, Bellar (71-71-70–212) was the Cardinal catalyst. He was the tournament’s only golfer to fire a pair of eagles over 54 holes — recording both on Sunday on the second and fourth holes while making a turn toward the finish. His scorecard was at -2 through ten holes, with birdies on #14 and #16. But after a triple-bogey on a par-3 17th hole and a bogey on the par-4 18th, he righted the ship and stayed among tournament leaders with eagles on two of the next four holes. Counting an individual performance to start the month, his final round of 70 was his third card of 70 or better this month. It was his best in team scoring since a round of 69 at Purdue last fall.
He paced a cast of veterans that won last year’s MAC title and reached the NCAA Regionals. Ball State’s four veterans were separated by just two strokes on Sunday, with fellow seniors Ali Khan (73-70-71–214) and Braxton Kuntz (72-71-71–214) both finishing at par, and junior Carter Smith (69-74-72–215) a stroke behind. The strength of the Cardinals’ core was on display down the stretch Sunday, During a six-hole series from holes 1 through 6, the Core Four carded eight birdies and both of Bellar’s eagles. Sophomore Avery Mahoney (77-68-75–220) added Ball State’s ninth birdie during that sequence which helped Ball State finish five strokes ahead of Toledo, with whom it was tied earlier in the round.
Khan and Kuntz both tied for 31st place out of 90 total participants. Ball State was led by a different golfer in each round, with Carter Smith firing 69 in Round 1 and Avery Mahoney carding a timely 68 in Round 2.
On the adjacent par-72 Kampen Golf Course, three other Cardinals capped play in the Boilermaker Spring Indy. Happy Gilmore (74-74-79–227) finished in 13th place out of 38 golfers. He was in fifth place after one round and sixth place after two, but had a pair of double bogeys in a 7-over final round on Sunday. Drew Todd (81-76-75–232) finished in 26th place. Gavin Hare (80-77-78–235) was 29th.
Ball State faces its MAC rivals next week, April 27-29, when the Cardinals travel to Grove City, Ohio, to participate in the 2025 MAC Championship at Pinnacle Golf Club.
