NBA ROUNDUP: LAKERS RESPOND, EVEN SERIES VS. WOLVES
Luka Doncic scored 16 of his 31 points in a dominating first quarter and added 12 rebounds and nine assists as the Los Angeles Lakers evened their Western Conference first-round playoff series with a 94-85 victory over the visiting Minnesota Timberwolves on Tuesday.
LeBron James added 21 points and 11 rebounds, Austin Reaves scored 16 points and Rui Hachimura had 11 as the No. 3 seed Lakers rebounded from a 22-point loss in the series opener Saturday. Game 3 is Friday in Minneapolis, where the Timberwolves went 2-0 against Los Angeles in the regular season.
Julius Randle scored 27 points and Anthony Edwards added 25 for the No. 6 seed Timberwolves, who shot 38 percent from the field after shooting 51.2 percent in Game 1, when they were also 21 of 42 from 3-point range. Minnesota hit a season-low five 3-pointers on 25 attempts in Game 2 and scored its fewest points this season.
Los Angeles roared out to a double-digit lead less than seven minutes into the game. The Lakers were up 34-15 at the end of the first quarter, shooting 55 percent while holding Minnesota to 27.8 percent. The Lakers led by 22 points in the first half and were up 58-43 at halftime.
Thunder 118, Grizzlies 99

Jalen Williams added 24 points for Oklahoma City, which never trailed. Chet Holmgren contributed 20 points, 11 rebounds and five blocks, and Alex Caruso scored 13.

NHL ROUNDUP: PANTHERS’ MATTHEW TKACHUK SCORES TWICE IN RETURN
Florida Panthers winger Matthew Tkachuk returned to action with two goals and an assist, and the Stanley Cup champs swiped home-ice advantage by thumping the host Tampa Bay Lightning 6-2 to start their Eastern Conference first-round playoff series on Tuesday night.
Sidelined for the season’s final 25 games with a lower-body injury, Tkachuk came back and tallied on two power plays. Defenseman Nate Schmidt added one on the man advantage and another at even strength as Florida went 3-for-3 on the power play.
Sam Bennett and Sam Reinhart had a goal and an assist apiece for Florida, and Aleksander Barkov posted two helpers. Sergei Bobrovsky made 20 saves.
Tampa Bay’s Jake Guentzel and Brayden Point scored, but Andrei Vasilevskiy surrendered six goals on just 16 shots.
Maple Leafs 3, Senators 2 (OT)
Max Domi scored at 3:09 of overtime, lifting Toronto over Ottawa and giving the hosts a 2-0 lead in the Eastern Conference first-round playoff series.
John Tavares had a goal and an assist for the Maple Leafs. Morgan Rielly also scored and Anthony Stolarz made 26 saves.
Brady Tkachuk and Adam Gaudette scored for the Senators, who overcame a two-goal deficit to force overtime. Linus Ullmark stopped 18 shots.
Hurricanes 3, Devils 1
Jordan Martinook continued to haunt the Devils in the postseason, posting a goal and an assist as Carolina beat New Jersey in Raleigh, N.C., to take a 2-0 lead in their Eastern Conference first-round series.
Martinook has four goals and 13 points in seven career playoff games against New Jersey. Shayne Gostisbehere and Seth Jarvis also scored for the Hurricanes, and Frederik Andresen stopped 25 shots.
Jesper Bratt got the goal for the Devils. Jacob Markstrom made 25 saves.

MLB ROUNDUP: CUBS RALLY PAST DODGERS 11-10 IN 10
Miguel Amaya belted a game-tying solo homer with two outs in the ninth inning and Ian Happ hit a walk-off RBI single in the 10th, fueling the host Chicago Cubs to an 11-10 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday.
Chicago’s Kyle Tucker blasted a two-run homer in the eighth and Amaya deposited a 0-1 fastball from Tanner Scott over the wall in center field to forge a 10-10 tie.
Happ’s game-ending single off Noah Davis (0-1) made a winner out of Porter Hodge (2-0), who threw one scoreless inning. The Cubs’ Pete Crow-Armstrong highlighted a three-hit performance with an RBI double in a five-run first inning and a two-run homer in the fifth.
Tommy Edman belted a three-run homer and added a sacrifice fly for Los Angeles, which got solo homers from Andy Pages and Will Smith.
Royals 4, Rockies 3 (11 innings)
Freddy Fermin drilled a game-winning single with the bases loaded and none out in the 11th inning as Kansas City beat visiting Colorado.
Drew Waters went 3-for-4 with a homer and a triple and Kris Bubic pitched seven scoreless innings for the Royals in the opener of a two-game set. The Royals have won two straight games following a six-game losing streak.
Jacob Stallings laced a three-run double to give Colorado the lead in the top of the ninth inning, but the Rockies’ road losing streak eventually extended to 11 games. Colorado is 1-12 away from home this season and just 4-18 overall.
Marlins 4, Reds 3
Xavier Edwards’ swinging bunt in the seventh inning was the game’s key play as host Miami rallied past Cincinnati.
With Otto Lopez on second and two outs in a tie game, Reds reliever Graham Ashcraft (0-2) fielded Edwards’ dribbler and threw wildly to first, allowing Lopez to race home. Miami’s Lake Bachar (1-0) earned his first major league win and Calvin Faucher logged his second save of the season.
The Marlins’ Agustin Ramirez went 3-for-3 with two doubles and an RBI in his second big league game. Cincinnati was led by Noelvi Marte, who hit a massive 431-foot solo homer. Reds starter Nick Martinez, a Miami native, allowed two runs in 5 2/3 innings.
Nationals 7, Orioles 0
Mitchell Parker allowed just one hit over eight innings, Dylan Crews and Nathaniel Lowe homered and host Washington topped Baltimore in the opener of a three-game series.
Parker (3-1) allowed only a third-inning single to Cedric Mullins and retired the final 14 Orioles he faced in the longest start of his young career. James Wood had two doubles and a single, Jose Tena finished a homer short of the cycle and Keibert Ruiz had three hits for Washington.
One game after Baltimore pitchers gave up 24 runs, starter Dean Kremer (2-3) gave up six runs (five earned) on 11 hits over 5 1/3 innings.
Guardians 3, Yankees 2
Tanner Bibee allowed two runs while gutting out six innings and Steven Kwan’s second hit of the night ignited a three-run rally in the sixth, as Cleveland won its fifth straight game.
Bibee (2-2) allowed a homer to Ben Rice on the game’s first pitch, then didn’t allow another run until the sixth inning despite yielding four other hits and throwing 106 pitches. That effort kept Cleveland in position to win its second straight over the Yankees and improve to 14-9 on the season after starting 3-6.

The Red Sox received three hits from Wilyer Abreu, and two doubles and three RBIs from Alex Bregman. Boston starter Brayan Bello (1-0) made his season debut after recovering from a shoulder injury. He allowed a run on four hits in five innings.
Jorge Polanco homered and J.P. Crawford collected two of the Mariners’ six hits. Bryce Miller (1-3) gave up four runs on five hits in 4 2/3 innings.
Padres 2, Tigers 0

Tigers starter Jack Flaherty (1-2) gave up two runs and five hits in six innings. He struck out nine and walked none. Chase Lee, making his major league debut, tossed 1 2/3 innings.
Mets 5, Phillies 1
Pete Alonso and Luis Torrens had RBI hits in a three-run seventh inning for surging New York, who beat NL East-rival Philadelphia.
Griffin Canning and four relievers combined on an eight-hitter for the Mets, who have won the first six games of a seven-game homestand. Canning (3-1) gave up one run over five innings.
The Phillies left nine runs on base as they lost their third straight. Phillies starter Cristopher Sanchez (2-1) exited with left forearm soreness after just two innings.
Cardinals 10, Braves 4
Nolan Gorman’s tiebreaking three-run double in the eighth inning lifted visiting St. Louis to a win over Atlanta, ending its five-game losing streak.
Gorman has seven extra-base hits and 12 RBIs in his last seven games in Atlanta. The Cardinals evened the three-game series and ended Atlanta’s four-game winning streak. It was only the second road win in 12 tries for St. Louis.
Neither starter received a decision. Scott Blewett, who the Braves acquired from Baltimore on Sunday, allowed two runs on four hits in three-plus innings. St. Louis starter Andre Pallante went 4 1/3 innings and allowed four runs on seven hits.

Jacob Amaya and Nick Maton had an RBI apiece for Chicago, which lost for the eighth time in its past nine games. Davis Martin (1-3) gave up two unearned runs on three hits in five innings.
Astros 5, Blue Jays 1
Houston rode a first-inning uprising and a strong start by Ronel Blanco to victory over visiting Toronto, giving the Astros four wins in their last five games.
Blanco (2-2) finished with one run allowed in 6 2/3 innings, a season high. The Astros pounced on Blue Jays right-hander Chris Bassitt (2-1) for three runs in the first inning, off singles by Jeremy Pena and Christian Walker and a sacrifice fly by Brendan Rodgers. Isaac Paredes clubbed his fourth home run.
Bassitt allowed four runs on seven hits over 5 1/3 innings. Nathan Lukes hit his first homer of the season for the Blue Jays’ run.

INDIANA PACERS
GAME REWIND: PACERS 123, BUCKS 115 (GAME 2)
Home court has been held, and the Indiana Pacers are halfway to advancing to the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
The Pacers (2-0) opened Game 2 of their first round playoff matchup with the Milwaukee Bucks (0-2) at a historic pace, and never trailed in a 123-115 win at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Tuesday.
With the victory, the Pacers have opened a playoff series 2-0 for the first time since 2013. The seven-game series now turns to Milwaukee, as the Bucks will host the Pacers on Friday and Sunday at Fiserv Forum for Games 3 and 4.
The Pacers scored at a record clip in the first quarter, setting a new NBA franchise record for points in any playoff quarter by building a 40-30 lead. After going up by eight at halftime, the Blue & Gold boosted its advantage to 12 points in the third quarter before holding off a Bucks charge late in the final frame with some clutch shotmaking.
“We’ve done our job and that’s all we’ve done,” Pacers head coach Rick Carlisle said. “We’ve protected home court and now the scene shifts. Their building will be wild on Friday and on Sunday. We’ve got to be prepared. This is a new situation for a lot of the guys on our team.”

Overall, the Bucks outshot the Pacers 50.6 to 48.9 percent, but the Blue & Gold made 16 3-pointers to the visitors’ 14 treys. Indiana finished 19-for-19 on free throws – a new franchise record for makes without a miss in a postseason game – and Milwaukee shot 13-for-19 from the charity stripe.
Indiana showed off its balanced scoring attack in Game 2.
Pascal Siakam topped the Pacers with 24 points and 11 rebounds, Tyrese Haliburton posted 21 points, 12 assists, and five rebounds, Andrew Nembhard chipped in 17 points, Aaron Nesmith scored 16 points, Myles Turner had 15 points, and Bennedict Mathurin logged 14 points off the bench.
Two-time NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo led the Bucks with 35 points and 18 rebounds and Bobby Portis made six 3-pointers off the bench for 28 points. Damian Lillard, playing in his first game in a month due to a blood clot, finished with 13 points and seven assists in 37 minutes of action.
In the first quarter, the Pacers shot 13-for-22 (6-for-10 from 3-point range) while making all eight free throw attempts to go up 40-30. Eight different Pacers players recorded a basket in the frame, with no player scoring more than eight points.
Indiana came out on fire shooting from the field, making six of their first eight shot attempts – with Turner accounting for seven points and Siakam registering seven – to lead 16-8 four minutes into the game.
The Blue & Gold then extended their high-percentage start to 11-for-14 shooting (5-for-7 from 3-point range) to go up by double figures. After Antetokounmpo scored on back-to-back possessions out of a timeout, the Blue & Gold zoomed to a 15-4 scoring streak, where Haliburton scored seven points and Nesmith and Nembhard each hit 3-pointers, to push the lead to 31-16 with 4:18 on the clock.
Mathurin then added five points, Siakam made a pair of free throws, and T.J. McConnell converted a tough layup in the waning minutes to help set the new team record for points in a quarter.
While Portis scored eight points midway through the second quarter, the Pacers’ second unit kept the team up by double digits by the midway point.
The Bucks got some offense going later in the second period, stringing together a 14-4 scoring stretch, where Lillard had five points and Kyle Kuzma scored four points, to narrow the deficit to 64-60 with 1:19 on the clock.
In the final 59 seconds, Nembhard made a 10-foot jumper and Haliburton got a layup to fall to keep the Blue & Gold in front by eight points at halftime.
Haliburton had 16 points and seven assists in the first half, Turner added 11 points, and Mathurin scored 10 points. Antetokounmpo topped the Bucks with 14 points and nine rebounds and Portis also had 14 points at halftime.
Siakam dropped 10 points in the third quarter as the Pacers outscored the Bucks 31-27 to lead 99-87 heading into the final frame.
Out of the locker room, the Pacers made their first five shots, including 3-pointers from Nesmith, Nembhard, and Haliburton, to go ahead 81-65 three minutes into the second half.
The teams largely went back-and-forth for the remainder of the third quarter, and the Pacers closed the final 1:21 with six straight points before Kevin Porter Jr. hit a 27-foot, leaning 3-pointer at the buzzer for the Bucks to make it a 12-point game.
Indiana stayed ahead by at least 10 points in the fourth quarter until a 16-2 Bucks run, where Portis drained three 3-pointers, Lillard made one from deep and Antetokounmpo added four points from close range, cut it to 115-113 with 2:33 on the clock.
Siakam then answered with a clutch three of his own on the right side of the arc with 2:05 left before Indiana came up with a key defensive stop.
After some extracurriculars slightly delayed the game, which resulted in Siakam and Portis both getting technicals, Nembhard hit a three over Antetokounmpo with 1:11 remaining to make it 121-113 Pacers. The Blue & Gold then held on from there by getting a pair of defensive stops and Nesmith made two free throws.
All of the Pacers aren’t getting ahead of themselves, as they know the series is about to get a lot tougher on the road.
“Winning at home is just doing your job,” Haliburton said. “I think I’ve always been told that a playoff series doesn’t start until you win a road game. So, you know, if we can go out there and get one … the goal is definitely to go get two, but get one at a time. …We’ve got to be prepared for that and have each other’s backs.”
Game 3 in Milwaukee will tip off at 8 p.m. ET and be nationally televised on ESPNU and NBA TV and locally on Fan Duel Sports Network.

INDIANAPOLIS INDIANS
FIVE-RUN FIRST FRAME SNAPS INDY’S FIVE-GAME WINNING STREAK
ST. PAUL, Minn. – Despite a season-high tying 13-hit effort from the offense, the Indianapolis Indians dropped the first game of an eight-game set to St. Paul on Tuesday afternoon at CHS Field, 16-4.
Following an RBI single from Darick Hall to give the Indians (10-9) an early 1-0 lead in the first inning, St. Paul (8-10) immediately countered and loaded the bases courtesy of two singles and a walk off of starter Carson Fulmer (L, 1-1). Yunior Severino scratched the first run across for the Saints with a bases-loaded walk before Carson McCusker cranked the first of two Saints grand slams to provide St. Paul a 5-1 lead it would not relinquish.
The Saints scored in six of their eight offensive half innings, with the onslaught capped by a Ryan Fitzgerald grand slam in the eighth inning.
St. Paul’s starter Zebby Matthews and Kyle Bischoff (W, 1-0) held Indy to one run until the fifth inning, when Hall and Liover Peguero each launched their first homers of the season. The Indians were then held scoreless through the remainder of the contest against Travis Adams (S, 2)
Ji Hwan Bae and Nick Yorke each recorded three hits in the contest, with this being Bae’s second three-hit effort in his last four games. Malcom Nuñez and Hall also recorded multi-hit games while Hall combined with Peguero to account for all of Indy’s RBI.
Indianapolis and St. Paul continue their eight-game set on Wednesday with a doubleheader from CHS Field beginning at 6 PM ET. Game 1 will see RHP Thomas Harrington (0-0, 1.80 ERA) take the mound for Indy against RHP Andrew Morris (0-1, 4.61). The Indians will deploy their bullpen to start Game 2 with an opener yet to be announced while St. Paul will have righty Cory Lewis (1-0, 9.82).
INDIANA BASEBALL
BASEBALL CENTRAL: BALL STATE
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – To close out April and to begin May, the Indiana Baseball team (22-18, 12-9 B1G) will embark on a stretch of eight-straight games away from Bart Kaufman Field. The first stop is the second midweek contest of the year against Ball State – this one to be played at Victory Field in Indianapolis.
IU took down Maryland in a three-game, back-and-forth series last weekend in Bloomington. The wild series featured a pair of run-rule victories and an incredible comeback from the Hoosiers on Friday (April 18) evening. Head coach Jeff Mercer is hoping that a dominant Sunday win will spark some late-season magic for his ballclub.
Junior outfielder Devin Taylor broke the program’s all-time home run record against the Terrapins and appears to have the invisible monkey off his back. Following his record-breaking swing, Taylor went on to reach base safely six times on Sunday with three hits and three walks. He leads the team with a .377 batting average.
As IU tries to get its pitching lined up for a big weekend series at Iowa, expect the Hoosiers to roll out a plethora of arms at Victory Field. Last year’s game at Ball State went 12 innings and saw pitching coach Dustin Glant call on the services of 11 different pitchers. Redshirt junior Pete Haas will open the game on the mound on Wednesday.
Freshman third baseman Will Moore was named Big Ten Freshman of the Week for his heroics over the weekend against Maryland. The young Canadian leads the conference in on-base percentage (.527) and moved into the leadoff spot on Sunday. He has been a spark in the IU lineup with his ability to draw walks and take the ball the other way.
IU will be the designated visitors on Wednesday at Victory Field. First pitch is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. against Ball State. The game will be streamed on Indiana SRN and can be heard on the radio at whcc105.com/iuhoosiers.com with Austin Render.

Probable Starters
Ball State
• Wednesday – RHP Pete Haas, R-Jr. (1-2, 4.56 ERA)
Leading Off
HOME RUN KING: Junior outfielder Devin Taylor made IU history when he hit the 48th home run of his career on Saturday against Maryland. He hit his 49th on Sunday and is now set to stretch out his lead as the program’s best home run hitter ever.
AWAY FROM HOME: IU is set to play the next eight games away from home, it’s longest such stretch of the season. A trip to Iowa is the only Big Ten series in that run of time but the Hoosiers will need to be near perfect as they look to climb into a potential NCAA Tournament position.
MOORE BASES: Freshman third baseman Will Moore has statistically been the best at getting on base in the entire Big Ten conference. He leads the league with a .527 on-base percentage and has 23 walks, 26 hits and 10 hit-by-pitches to his name this year. The Canadian was named Big Ten Freshman of the Week on Monday (April 21).
LAUNCHING THE LONG BALL: Redshirt sophomore outfielder Korbyn Dickerson is tied for third nationally with 17 home runs this season. As a team, IU is second in the Big Ten and 13th in the country with 70 long balls. Four players have at least nine home runs on the year.
PRIME KRAFTY: Since the end of the Penn State series (March 10), senior southpaw Ryan Kraft has been dominant for the Hoosiers. He’s thrown 10 times in that span with a 2.93 ERA and 24 strikeouts compared to just nine walks. He has become an important part of IU’s staff for the stretch run.
NEAR 2,500: As a program, the Hoosiers are just seven wins away from reaching 2,500 all-time victories. The program has risen to national relevance over the last decade plus but has produced high-level players and managers. IU can reach that mark as early as the Abilene Christian series.
Scouting the Opponent
Ball State
• As has been the standard under Rich Maloney, Ball State is having a fantastic season and will be one of the favorites to earn the automatic bid out of the MAC. The Cardinals are 29-12 overall and are 15-3 in conference play. Indiana held on to win the first matchup this season, 7-5.
• The Cardinals have had a strong season on the mound, led by weekend starters Keegan Johnson and Jacob Hartlaub. In the midweek, Ball State has been able to vary its arms. It has 11 pitchers that have made double-digit appearances this season. Owen Quinn and Garrett Harker have combined for 30 appearances without making a start.
• Ball State will be no slouch at the plate either. Shortstop Dylan Grego is hitting .376 with 12 home runs and 46 RBIs. He had a game last week against Bowling Green with three home runs and nine RBIs. Utilityman Blake Bevis has also hit 12 home runs. Third baseman Alex Richter shares the team lead as well.
Inside the Series
Ball State
• This is the 66th all-time meeting between two in-state foes and the second this year. IU has the advantage in the series but Ball State has 26 all-time wins. However, it has been since 2013 that IU last took a defeat to the Cardinals.
• This is the third time in the last eight years (2017, 2019) that the two teams will play at Victory Field. Last year’s game was supposed to be played at Victory Field but a weather postponement caused the game to move back to Muncie.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – A double-digit scorer from the SEC will play in Mackey Arena next season, as Purdue women’s basketball head coach Katie Gearlds announced the addition of transfer Kiki Smith from Arkansas.
Averaging 10.2 points per game, Smith was the Razorbacks’ second leading scorer last season, year after being named the 2024 NJCAA DI Women’s Basketball Player of the Year and a First Team All-American.
Smith appeared in 27 games with 22 starts during her lone season in Fayetteville. She averaged 10.2 points per game, while shooting 42.2% from the field. The Topeka, Kan., native finished in double figures in 13 games last season with a trio of 20-point outings.
Smith paced Arkansas from behind the arc with 58 makes at a 40.6% clip, the second most accurate mark in the Southeastern Conference and 28th nationally last year. She was one of 25 players from a major conference to knock down 55 triples and shoot 40% or better from behind the arc.
Smith joined Arkansas after one season at Hutchinson CC, where she was named the 2024 NJCAA DI Women’s Basketball Player of the Year, an All-American and the KJCCC Player of the Year and Freshman of the Year. She guided the Blue Dragons to a 37-0 record and the NJCAA DI National Championship, garnering Tournament MVP honors.
Smith logged 17.6 points per game with a 55.9% shooting clip and 44.4% from distance at Hutchinson. She set school records in single-season scoring (652 points) and 3-pointers (82).
Smith played her prep ball at Topeka High School. She was tabbed 6A All-State all four years with a trio of first team laurels. She averaged better than 20 points per game as a junior and senior.
NOTRE DAME SOFTBALL
6-RUN 6TH INNING VAULTS IRISH OVER CHIPPEWAS
SOUTH BEND, Ind. – Behind a six-run sixth inning and two home runs from Anna Holloway, the Notre Dame softball team downed Central Michigan 8-4 Tuesday evening at Melissa Cook Stadium. Notre Dame is now 22-26-1 on the season.
Anna Holloway notched her first career multi-home run game. The senior hit a solo home run in the fourth inning and a two-run homer in the sixth. She finished with three hits to raise her season average to .301 on the year and four RBI on the day.
Down 4-2 in the bottom of the sixth, the Irish rattled off six runs on six hits in the inning. Holloway was 2/2 in the inning with three RBI by herself in the sixth.
Emily Tran finished with her fifth career three-hit game. She drove in a run and crossed home twice as well. Fellow senior Jane Kronenberger finished with two hits on the day and two RBI. The senior class contributed eight hits and seven RBI in the win.

BALL STATE WOMEN’S GOLF
DRISCOLL CLAIMS MAC INDIVIDUAL TITLE; WOMEN’S GOLF PLACES 5TH OVERALL
MUNCIE, Ind. – – For just the third time in program history, the Ball State women’s golf team has a Mid-American Conference individual champion.
With a par on hole nine, her closing hole Tuesday, junior Jasmine Driscoll etched her name in both program and league history by carding a 54-hole score of +2 (218) at the Delaware Country Club to earn a one-stroke victory over a quartet of other players to claim the title of MAC Champion.
“What a great day for Ball State golf,” head coach Cameron Andry exclaimed! “I couldn’t be prouder of Jasmine! She handled the pressure of having at least a portion of the lead for a majority of the tournament. She executed down the stretch and played some incredible golf over 54 holes.”
Along with her league title, Driscoll earns an individual berth into the NCAA Regionals with the selection show airing tomorrow (April 23) on the Golf Network at 1 p.m. ET.
Starting on hole 10, Driscoll briefly fell out of the lead after shooting six pars and three bogies on her opening nine to start the day at +3 (39). However, she found momentum with a birdie on hole one and added two more on holes four and five to build a two-stroke advantage.
Driscoll remained up two strokes with pars on six and seven, before a bogey on eight shrunk the lead back to one. Cue her par on nine to finish the round at +2 (74), then following scoring verification, a Ball State celebration.
“I also have to give a lot of credit to assistant coach Gala Dumez who walked every step of the way with Jasmine during the final round,” Andry added. “Gala won the Big 12 championship as an individual a few years ago and I think her experience was invaluable and helping Jasmine manage everything that comes with playing at the top of the leaderboard today.
After tying the lowest opening-round in MAC Championships history with a -5 (67) on Sunday, she was tied for the lead after two rounds at E (144). She then closed the tournament at +2 (218) for the lowest individual score in program history at the MAC Championships. The effort also helped her earn MAC All-Tournament Team honors for the first time in her career.
The previous best was a +5 (149) by 2005 Champion Katie Sundberg, which was later tied by 2010 runner-up Brittany Kelly who fired a +5 (221). Ball State’s other individual title was won by Jenna Hague who shot +7 (223) in 2012 and won the event with a birdie on a tie-breaking hole.
While Driscoll stole the show Tuesday, it was a gutsy performance from senior Sabrina Langerak that also helped the Cardinals climb two spots up the final team leaderboard. After shooting +19 over her first two rounds, Langerak tied for the second-lowest round of the day at -1 (71) to climb 14 spots up the final leaderboard and into 27th place overall at +18 (234).
Langerak’s final round, which included three birdies and 13 pars, was Ball State’s second-lowest round of the tournament.
Freshman Sophie Korthuijs also turned in her best round of the championship on Tuesday, tying Driscoll’s final round at +2 (74). With the effort, which included three birdies, Korthuijs finished 35th overall over the three-day event at +21 (237).
Rounding out the Ball State lineup were junior Sarah Gallagher and sophomore JJ Gregston who each shot +5 (77) on the day. Gallagher’s effort helped her finish tied for 16th overall at +12 (228), while Gregston finished tied for 39th at +24 (240). Gallagher’s round included three birdies, while Gregston notched two.
Among the individual stat leaders, Driscoll finished with a tournament-best 12 birdies aided by an -4 (4.67) effort on the courses par 5s. Gallagher and Langerak each tied for 11th among the field with 32 total pars, while Driscoll carded 30.
Overall, the Cardinals turned in its best overall round of the tournament Tuesday, combining for a score of +8 (296). It was the fourth-lowest round of the day and tied as the fifth lowest of the tournament to help Ball State climb to fifth overall at +50 (914).
“I was really proud of the team as a whole in the final round,” Andry said. “We had a couple of rough rounds on day one and day two but today, I thought we played much more like ourselves.
“Sabrina’s final round 71 was great. It was great to see all of her effort paying off. I was proud of Sophie. She didn’t have her best stuff this week, but she grinded it out today and fought for a 74. Sarah and JJ both gave us a great effort today and allowed us to have a really solid team score in the final round and move a couple spots up in the standings.”
Kent State won its 26th consecutive title with a team score of +9 (873) to earn the league’s automatic team berth into the NCAA Regionals. Bowling Green finished second at +37 (901).
The effort wrapped up a spectacular four days of action at the 2025 Mid-American Conference Championships hosted by the Delaware Country Club.
“I was proud of the Delaware Country Club and all its staff, as well as the Ball State staff and the way the championship was run over the last few days. I thought the golf course played really well and provided a great test for the MAC Women’s Golf Championship.”

EVANSVILLE BASEBALL
MCCONNELL HITS FIRST GRAND SLAM OF 2025 AT WESTERN KENTUCKY
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – The University of Evansville baseball team had its first bases-clearing home run of the season, but it wasn’t enough to get past the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers in a 14-4 game.
Freshman shortstop Drew McConnell (Blue Springs, Mo. / Blue Springs HS) broke a two-game hitless streak in a big way on Tuesday. McConnell recorded the second home run of his young career as an Ace for UE’s first grand slam of the season. But the grand slam scored Evansville’s only four runs of the game as the Aces had just four batters connect on a hit. Along with McConnell, UE had outfielder Charlie Longmeier (Seymour, Ind. / Seymour HS), catcher Matt Flaherty (Lake Zurich, Ill. / Bellarmine), and infielder Jake McGhee (Fenton, Mo. / Christian Brothers Academy) record a hit for Evansville.
“It was another tough midweek matchup that we didn’t play well enough to be in the game,” said Head Coach Wes Carroll following the loss. “We have a big weekend ahead of us on the road in Valley play.”
The Aces got the first hit of the game as Longmeier put a single into left center field in his first at-bat. But he would be left at second as UE’s next two batters went down in order. WKU took the lead in the bottom of the first on a three-run homer after Evansville gave up two free bases with a walk and a hit by pitch in the first three at-bats.
It was a similar result in the top of the second for the Aces as they left a runner stranded at second. UE’s defense kept the Hilltoppers from hitting another home run, but Western Kentucky did add a run to make it 4-0 after two innings. It became a 5-0 game in the third as WKU scored without recording a hit. Flaherty hit one of Evansville’s only multi-base hits to begin the fourth with a stand up double down the left field line. But he was stranded as the next three Aces batters all went down swinging.
The Hilltoppers almost doubled their lead in the bottom of the fourth after loading the bases on a single and two free bases. Western Kentucky’s right fielder put a triple into right past Harrison Taubert (Casper, Wyo. / Northeast CC) to clear the bases. The Hilltoppers took a 9-0 lead with four runs in the inning. It became a double-digit game in the bottom of the fifth as a double play review went WKU’s way leading to a long single that scored two more runs.
With the run rule not in effect until after the seventh inning, UE headed into the sixth staring down an 11-run deficit. Evansville had only its second inning on offense going down in order for the first frame of the sixth. While the Hilltoppers added their 12th run on a sacrifice fly with the bases loaded.
Facing a potential run rule loss the Aces offense fought back to keep the game going. UE began the seventh with a hit by pitch, a single from McGhee, and a walk to Taubert that loaded the bases with no outs on the board.
McConnell came to the plate with the bases full and fought through a seven-pitch at-bat with three foul balls. He made it count on the seventh though as McConnell put the ball just past the right field bullpen for Evansville’s first grand slam of 2025. With four runs on the board, the Aces kept Tuesday’s game going into the eighth
.
UE’s defense had its first three up and three down inning of the night in the bottom frame of the seventh. Evansville got a base runner in the top of the eighth as pinch hitter Mason McCue (Bourbonnais, Ill. / Bishop McNamara HS) took a sixth pitch walk. But with two outs already on the board before McCue’s walk, he would be stranded at first with a strikeout.
The Aces didn’t get another chance at the plate as Western Kentucky scored two more runs in the bottom of the eighth, ending the game an inning early. UE came out of Tuesday’s contest on the losing side of the 14-4 final score with starting pitcher Kellen Roberts (Monroe, Mich. / Monroe HS) being tabbed with the loss.
Evansville returns to conference action this weekend on the road. The Aces make their final MVC trip to Springfield and Hammons Field to take on the league-leading Missouri State Bears. The three-game series will begin with a night game on Friday, April 25 set for a 6 p.m. first pitch.

SLU would push a tally across in the bottom of the first before USI regained the lead, 2-1, on an RBI single by sophomore third baseman Parker Martin. The score would remain 2-1 until the top of the fifth when USI scored three more times for the 5-1 advantage.
The three-run rally was highlighted by RBI singles by sophomore rightfielder Cameron Boyd and junior leftfielder Hunter Miller that sandwiched junior designated hitter Charlie Marisca scoring on a bases-loaded wild pitch. USI maintained the 5-1 advantage until the Billikens scored four times in the bottom of the sixth to tie the game, 5-5.
USI responded by regaining the lead, 6-5, with a tally in the top of the seventh on an RBI ground out by Miller. The Eagles extended the lead to 7-5 when Martin scored on a wild pitch and 8-5 on an RBI single by junior catcher Micajah Wall in the eighth.

To celebrate the Eagles playing at home for the first time in two weeks, fans will be admitted to the USI-Bellarmine game free of charge.
VALPO BASEBALL
BAFFA, FOLEY DEAL BEFORE NIU RALLIES LATE
The Valparaiso University baseball team received a combined seven innings of quality pitching from freshman righty Nick Baffa (Glenview, Ill. / Notre Dame College Prep) and sophomore lefty Lucas Foley (Deer Park, Ill. / Lake Zurich) on Tuesday and led 4-1 through six and 4-2 through seven, but visiting Northern Illinois rallied with six in the eighth to prevail 8-6 at Emory G. Bauer Field.
How It Happened
Valpo committed a pair of errors in the second inning, leading to an unearned run to start the scoring.
Baffa fired a 1-2-3 third punctuated by a strikeout, then Case Sullivan (Carmel, Ind. / Carmel) clubbed a solo shot in the bottom of the inning to tie the game at one. Later in the frame, Connor Giusti (Hoffman Estates, Ill. / Fremd) worked a walk with the bases juiced (no pun intended) to force in the go-ahead run.
The first three batters of the top of the fourth reached base as a single was sandwiched around a pair of hit batters. Head coach Brian Schmack went to the bullpen and Foley entered in a precarious spot and struck out the side with three straight swinging strikeouts.
An RBI single by Spencer Warfield (Fullerton, Calif. / Servite) added a run in the bottom of the fourth to increase the Beacon lead to 3-1. Foley drilled two batters to begin the fifth, but then worked out of his own jam this time, once again striking out three in succession to keep the two-run lead intact.
A solo bomb by Thomas Cooper (Brentwood, Tenn. / Ravenwood) in the bottom of the inning elevated the lead to three. Foley recorded two more strikeouts in a scoreless top of the sixth.
NIU got one in the seventh on a two-out single by JP Gauthier, the brother of Valpo’s Javin Gauthier.
Foley’s glowing outing came to an end in the eighth, and when it ended so did the good times for the Beacons. An E-4 to the leadoff man of the inning set the tone for an ugly frame where 11 men came to the plate against three different Valpo pitchers and six runs crossed the dish to flip the game on its head.
Valpo did battle back in the bottom of the ninth, scoring twice on a two-run single by Cooper and getting the potential winning run to the plate with one away, but NIU held on.
Inside the Game
Sullivan spanked his fifth home run of the season and third in the last six games.
Cooper’s home run was his third, both of the year and of his career. It marked his first home run since March 18 at Ball State (he missed time with a shoulder injury from March 22 to April 18).
Cooper, Sullivan, Warfield and Aidan Thaxton (Chicago, Ill. / St. Ignatius College Prep) all had multiple hit games. Thaxton reached base four times including two HBPs. Cooper drove in three of the team’s six runs.
Foley racked up nine strikeouts in just four innings, the second-highest strikeout total in his collegiate career and highest since he fanned 11 in his collegiate debut on Feb. 17, 2024 at Alabama State. His nine Ks outdid his previous season best of three by a wide margin.
This was Valpo’s eighth loss decided by two runs or fewer.
Up Next
The Beacons (8-27) will head to Belmont for a three-game series beginning on Friday. The game will air on ESPN+ with a link to live video and stats available on ValpoAthletics.com.
