SCHAUFFELE WINS FIRST MAJOR AT PGA CHAMPIONSHIP IN A THRILLER AT VALHALLA
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Xander Schauffele cashed in at just the right time Sunday by making a 6-foot birdie putt on the final hole to win the PGA Championship for his first major with the lowest score in major championship history.
The Olympic gold medalist got something even more valuable in silver — that enormous Wanamaker Trophy after a wild week at Valhalla.
Schauffele closed with a 6-under 65 to beat Bryson DeChambeau, entertaining to the very end with a 10-foot birdie of his own on the par-5 18th for a 64.
Schauffele became the first player since Phil Mickelson in 2005 at Baltusrol to win the PGA Championship with a birdie on the last hole to win by one. And this took all he had. His drive on the par-5 18th rolled close enough to the bunker that he had to stand in the sand. He hit it beautifully down the left side, some 35 yards short, and pitched to 6 feet.
DeChambeau was on the range, staying loose for a potential playoff, watching Schauffele from a large video board. He walked all the way back to the 18th to join in with so many other players wanting to congratulate the 30-year-old Californian.
Schauffele, who began this championship with a 62 to tie the major championship record, finished at 21-under 263 with that winning birdie. That beats by one shot the major record previously shared by Brooks Koepka in the 2018 PGA Championship at Bellerive and Henrik Stenson in the 2016 British Open at Royal Troon.
NELLY KORDA WINS MIZUHO AMERICAS OPEN BY A STROKE OVER HANNAH GREEN FOR HER 6TH VICTORY IN 7 EVENTS
JERSEY CITY, N.J. (AP) — Nelly Korda won a back nine showdown with Hannah Green of Australia with a par on the 18th hole to capture the Mizuho Americas Open by a stroke Sunday for her sixth win in seven starts on the LPGA Tour this year.
The victory made the 25-year-old American the first player since Inbee Park (2013) to record six wins in a single season.
“Oh, my gosh, six,” Korda said. “I can’t even really gather myself right now with that, the head to head that Hannah and I had pretty much all day. Wasn’t my best stuff out there today, but fought really hard on the back nine.”
“It was just amazing to share the stage with Hannah.”
Korda also bounced back from seeing her record-tying five-tournament winning streak snapped last week by Rose Zhang at the Cognizant Founders Cup. Zhang withdrew Thursday after three holes with an intestinal issue.
After playing the front nine in 2-over, Korda matched birdies with Green on the 10th, 13th and 15th holes at scenic Liberty National to stay tied with Green, whose two wins this year made her the only other multiple winner on tour this year.
Korda, the third-round leader by two shots, shot a final-round 71 and finished at 14-under 274. Green had a 70 and finished at 275.
After Korda put her drive in the fairway on the the par-4, No. 18, Green pulled her drive into the left rough. Her second to the green was short and left and still in the rough. After Korda hit her approach to 15 feet from the hole, Green’s chip over a bunker landed 10 feet in front of the hole and then rolled back a little.
Korda putted to tap-in range and finished out, while Green’s putt to extend the tournament to a playoff never touched the hole.
Korda then raised her hands and accepted the cheers from the crowd in this event held with a view of the New York City skyline and Statue of Liberty in the background.
Jennifer Kupcho, who lost this event in a playoff with Zhang last year, finished tied for third with rookie Gabriela Ruffels of Australia and Ariya Jutanugarn and Chanettee Wannasaen, both of Thailand.
Playing hours before the leaders teed off, Wannasaen had the best round of the day with a 7-under 65. Jutanugarn had a 70, Kupcho shot 71 and Ruffels had a 72 in finishing third for the second straight week.
After being tied for the lead by Ayaka Furue of Japan and Kupcho with nine holes to play, Korda and Green turned the tournament into a two-player race with their matching birdies to open a four-shot lead over the rest of the field. When one hit it close, the other followed.
Furue finished in a large group at 9-under.
The win was the 14th for Korda and she joined a list of players who have won six times in a year since 1980: Betsy King (1989), Annika Sorenstam (1997, 2003), Karrie Webb (1999, 2000), Lorena Ochoa (2006, 2008), Park, Beth Daniel (1990) and Yani Tseng (2011).
Korda earned $450,000, bringing her career earnings to $11,880,981 and her season earnings to $2,943,708.

EDWARDS LEADS WOLVES BACK FROM 20-POINT DEFICIT FOR 98-90 WIN OVER DEFENDING NBA CHAMPION NUGGETS
DENVER (AP) — Anthony Edwards overcame a slow start and the Timberwolves roared back from a 20-point second-half deficit to eliminate the reigning NBA champion Denver Nuggets 98-90 in a Game 7 Minnesota masterpiece on Sunday night.
The Timberwolves overcame a 15-point halftime deficit — the largest comeback in a Game 7 in NBA playoff history — behind Edwards, who had just four points, no rebounds and three assists at halftime but finished with 16 points, eight boards and seven assists.
His impact belied his 6-of-24 shooting that included a 2-for-10 3-point performance.
As the seconds ticked away, Edwards dribbled the ball upcourt and took time to wave good-bye to the crowd.
The Wolves, who got 23 points each from Karl-Anthony Towns and Jaden McDaniels, advanced to the Western Conference finals for the first time in exactly 20 years. They’ll face the Dallas Mavericks beginning Wednesday night at Target Center.
The Nuggets became the fifth consecutive defending champion to fail to reach the conference finals. Behind Jamal Murray’s 24 first-half points, the Nuggets raced to a 53-38 halftime lead and Murray’s 3-pointer with 10:50 left in the third pushed Denver’s lead to 58-38.
The Wolves turned to their defense, the NBA’s stingiest, to get back into the game, and they closed the quarter on a 28-9 run to pull to 67-66 heading into the fourth.
Rudy Gobert gave the Wolves their first lead since the first quarter with a bucket to start the fourth and when Towns picked up his fifth foul, Naz Reid, the NBA’s Sixth Man of the Year, was spectacular at both ends of the floor to keep Minnesota ahead.
In one crucial stretch that started with Minnesota ahead 85-82, Reid had two free throws and a dunk before feeding Edwards for a back-breaking 3-pointer that put the Wolves ahead 92-82 with three minutes left.
Murray, coming off a 4-for-18 shooting performance in the Nuggets’ 115-70 loss in Game 6 — the largest ever in the playoffs by a reigning champion — led Denver with 35 points. Jokic added 34 points, 19 rebounds and seven assists.
This marked the Timberwolves’ first Game 7 since beating Sacramento in the second round exactly 20 years earlier. That’s the only other time they reached the conference finals. The Nuggets were playing in their fifth Game 7 in the last six seasons and were seeking their third trip to the conference finals in that span.
Nuggets coach Michael Malone said before tipoff he didn’t think Game 7 would be a blowout after the ones delivered in Games 2, 3 and 6. He figured it would come down to the wire, but “maybe not because this is one of the strangest series I’ve ever been a part of.”
The Nuggets’ big blown lead only added to the oddity of the series.

CANUCKS HAVE ANOTHER CHANCE TO OUST OILERS, THIS TIME IN GAME 7
The Vancouver Canucks wasted their first opportunity to vanquish the Edmonton Oilers and advance to the Western Conference finals.
Vancouver must make good on its second chance if it wants to keep its season alive, as the Canucks are set to play host to the Oilers on Monday in Game 7 of their semifinal series.
Trailing 3-2 in the series, Edmonton put together a 5-1 beatdown of Vancouver in Game 6 to take the best-of-seven affair the distance, and now it is up to the Canucks to respond.
“You’re disappointed a little bit, but you know that we are a good bounce-back team,” Vancouver coach Rick Tocchet said. “It’s a Game 7. People would kill to be in this situation right now, and we’ve got to make sure that we act like we want to be in that situation.
“Play like you want to be a hero on Monday, that’s what I think.”
Monday’s winner will face the Dallas Stars in the conference finals, which begin Thursday.
The Canucks were not even in the same league as the Oilers in Saturday’s loss. Vancouver managed a paltry 15 shots on goal, failed to convert all four of its power-play chances and was all but done and dusted during a one-sided second period that saw Edmonton go up 3-1.
Responding to claim the series will be anything but easy.
“There’s always a test,” Canucks captain Quinn Hughes said. “If you lose three in a row in January, you know, people are still going crazy and that’s a test, too. We’re going to have to treat it like another game. It’s a great opportunity. If you told us we’d have this opportunity in September, we would have took it.”
While Vancouver is trying to rediscover the form that gave it the upper hand in the series, the Oilers will look to build on a dominant performance. That said, Edmonton is also focused on keeping its emotions in check.
“Nothing to be satisfied or excited about,” Oilers captain Connor McDavid said of the Game 6 win. “We just bought ourselves another day, and I would expect the same level of urgency and desperation from our group.
“I would expect Vancouver to play a better game as well, and I would expect it to be a highly competitive, great Game 7.”
Edmonton is looking to reach the conference finals for the second time in three years and has a decided advantage in Game 7 experience, something the Oilers plan to lean on come Monday.
“Experience helps — a familiar situation helps in understanding how small the margins are and how well you have to play to win,” Edmonton forward Zach Hyman said. “I think those things go into it and we want to keep playing, we want to win a Stanley Cup and we want to be here, so we really didn’t have a choice.”
While the Canucks have surprised many this season, the Oilers went into 2023-24 with legitimate Stanley Cup expectations. Monday’s game will put those hopes to the extreme test.
“We have guys in this locker room who are so talented, but they’re (also) winners,” Edmonton defenseman Vincent Desharnais told Sportsnet. “They’re here to win and it showed (Saturday). It’s going to show again on Monday.”
REPORT: CANUCKS STAR BROCK BOESER (BLOOD CLOTTING) LIKELY OUT VS. OILERS
Vancouver Canucks winger Brock Boeser is experiencing blood-clotting issues and is likely to miss Game 7 of the club’s second-round series against the visiting Edmonton Oilers on Monday night, according to Sportsnet.
Boeser missed practice Sunday and it isn’t clear when he will return to the team.
Sportsnet indicated the situation isn’t considered to be life-threatening.
Boeser, 27, is having a strong postseason and leads the Canucks with seven goals. He’s tied for the team lead with 12 points in 12 games.
Boeser established career bests for goals (40) and points (73) while playing in 81 regular-season games. He has 179 goals and 384 points in seven-plus NHL seasons, all with the Canucks.
The winner of Monday’s contest will advance to the Western Conference finals and play the Dallas Stars.

LEGENDARY RAIDERS C JIM OTTO DIES AT 86
Legendary Oakland Raiders center Jim Otto, a Pro Football Hall of Famer, has died at the age of 86, the team announced Sunday.
The Raiders did not disclose a cause of death.
Otto spent his entire 15-year career with the Raiders, who moved to Las Vegas ahead of the 2020 season. Oakland was playing as a member of the AFL for Otto’s first 10 seasons (1960-69).
“The Raiders Family is in deep mourning following the passing of Jim Otto … The Original Raider,” the team said in a statement on Sunday. “The personification of consistency, Jim’s influence on the American Football League and professional football as a whole cannot be overstated.”
One of three players to play in all 140 AFL regular-season games, Otto started 210 games for the Raiders in all. No one else started at center from his first game in 1960 to his last in 1974.
Despite the remarkable consistency from season to season, Otto did deal with his fair share of injuries, and he had to have over 70 surgeries, most of which related to his knees. Because of two serious infections, Otto had to have his right leg amputated in 2007, and he also fought prostate cancer.
Otto landed in the Hall of Fame in 1980 — the first year he was eligible. He was named to the NFL 100 All-Time team in 2019.
Even when his playing days were over, Otto stayed involved with the Raiders organization, serving as the director of special projects. During his time in that role, Otto set up reunions for former players and made public appearances as a representative for the team.
Otto was also known for wearing No. 00, an ode to the two O’s in his last name. However, NFL players nowadays cannot select that number.
“‘00′ was the foundational piece of a transcendent offensive line that not only propelled the Raiders to success on the field but resonated with fans and helped build the Raiders persona and mystique,” the team said in its statement.
Otto is survived by his wife, a son, his daughter-in-law and 14 grandchildren.

MCLAUGHLIN WINS RECORD POLE AS PENSKE SWEEPS FRONT ROW
Get out the brooms – for Team Penske and Chevrolet.
Scott McLaughlin won the NTT P1 Award in Firestone Fast Six qualifying for the 108th Indianapolis 500 presented by Gainbridge on Sunday, leading only the second front row sweep by one team in the history of “The Greatest Spectacle in Racing.” Team Penske first achieved the feat in 1988, with Rick Mears on the pole, Danny Sullivan starting second and Al Unser third.
SEE: Starting Lineup | Qualifying Results
It was the first career Indianapolis 500 pole for McLaughlin, who also set the fastest four-lap average pole speed in the history of the race of 234.220 mph in the No. 3 Pennzoil Team Penske Chevrolet. McLaughlin’s best qualifying position in three previous Indianapolis 500 starts was 14th in 2023.
“Welcome to the party,” McLaughlin said. “The Pennzoil Chevy was unreal. There’s so much pride in being able to do it. I’m working hard. Indy hasn’t been kind to me, and a lot of it was my doing. I need to work on things. This is the first step. The Thirsty 3’s, baby, we’re coming.”
Two-time NTT INDYCAR SERIES champion and 2018 “500” winner Will Power will start second after his run of 233.917 in the No. 12 Verizon Business Team Penske Chevrolet. Reigning “500” winner and two-time series champion Josef Newgarden will round out the front row after his run of 233.808 in the No. 2 Shell Powering Progress Team Penske Chevrolet.
It was the record-extending 19th Indianapolis 500 pole for Team Penske in the hottest day of this year’s event, with air temperatures reaching 91 degrees and track temperatures topping out at 129 degrees.
Chevrolet-powered drivers swept the top eight spots in the 33-car field for the race Sunday, May 26.
Among other qualifiers in the Firestone Fast Six were Alexander Rossi, who will start fourth at 233.090 in the No. 7 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet, rookie and 2021 NASCAR Cup Series champion Kyle Larson fifth at 232.846 in the No. 17 Hendrickcars.com Arrow McLaren Chevrolet and Santino Ferrucci sixth at 232.692 in the No. 14 Homes For Our Troops Chevrolet fielded by A.J. Foyt Enterprises.
Felix Rosenqvist was the fastest Honda-powered qualifier, starting ninth after a run of 232.305 in the No. 60 AutoNation/SiriusXM Honda of Meyer Shank Racing.
Katherine Legge, Marcus Ericsson and Graham Rahal earned the final three starting spots in Last Chance Qualifying.
Legge qualified 31st at 230.092 in the No. 51 e.l.f. Cosmetics Honda. 2022 “500” winner Ericsson qualified 32nd at 230.027 in the No. 28 Delaware Life Honda of Andretti Global, and Rahal avoided being bumped from the field for the second consecutive year by earning the final starting spot at 229.974 in the No. 15 United Rentals Honda of Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing.
“I’ve been there – last year, it still stings,” Rahal said. “It’s not much better being 33rd, I can tell you that. At least we’re in the field, and we’re going to go racing.”
Rookie Nolan Siegel failed to qualify. INDY NXT by Firestone standout Siegel, who was bumped earlier during Last Chance Qualifying, crashed in the No. 18 Dale Coyne Racing Honda on the final attempt of the session. He was unhurt.
“I wish we could have shown that we deserve to be in the ‘500,’” Siegel said. “But we’ve had a difficult couple of days, and we pulled through it as a team. We did everything we possibly could. I feel like we maximized the runs today. That’s all you can do.”
The 33-car field average speed is 231.943, the second fastest in history. Last year’s record field average was 232.184.
Up next is a practice session for the 33 starters from 1-3 p.m. ET Monday, with live coverage on Peacock.
The 108th Indianapolis 500 is scheduled for Sunday, May 26 (11 a.m. ET, NBC, Peacock, Universo, INDYCAR Radio Network).
KYLE LARSON QUALIFIES FOR INDY 500, WILL TRY INDY-CHARLOTTE DOUBLE
Kyle Larson will be the fifth driver to compete in the Indianapolis 500 and NASCAR’s Coca-Cola 600 on the same day after qualifying for the Indy 500 on Sunday.
Larson, 31, will start fifth in his Indy 500 debut next Sunday and join John Andretti, Tony Stewart, Robby Gordon and Kurt Busch as the only drivers to attempt the Indy-Charlotte Double, also called the Memorial Day Double — the 108th Indy 500 during the day and then the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway.
Larson will be on the second row of the starting grid at the Indy 500 after posting a four-lap average speed of 232.846 in qualifying.
“Just a great team, really, they prepared an awesome race car that stuck to the race track and also had speed,” Larson told reporters. “Qualifying went a lot better than I could have ever hoped or anticipated.”
After qualifying, Larson took a helicopter ride to Indianapolis International Airport and flew to North Carolina. He then took another flight to Wilkes County Airport and hopped in another helicopter to North Wilkesboro Speedway for the NASCAR All-Star Race, where he finished fourth.
Larson, who leads NASCAR’s championship standings and posted a win at Kansas Speedway on May 5, will take the same route and transportation next Sunday to Charlotte, where he won in 2021.
Stewart is the only one of the four drivers to previously attempt The Double and finish every lap of both races when he achieved the feat in 2001.
JOEY LOGANO CRUISES TO FINISH LINE AT ALL-STAR RACE
Polesitter Joey Logano dominated by putting his No. 22 Ford out front for 199 of 200 laps to snare a $1 million purse on Sunday night, winning the NASCAR Cup Series’ prized All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway in North Wilkesboro, N.C.
Without another set of soft tires, Logano stayed out when NASCAR threw its final planned caution with 50 laps left, while many in the field took on new rubber.
The 2016 All-Star Race winner then stayed ahead of Denny Hamlin to win the non-points race by 0.636 seconds.
Chris Buescher, who was involved in two dramatic endings over the past two weeks, came in third.
Following a day of qualifying for the Indianapolis 500, defending All-Star Race winner Kyle Larson arrived at the speedway by helicopter about 90 minutes before the green flag. He came home fourth, while Ryan Blaney finished fifth.
In its second consecutive appearance at the 0.625-mile short track, the 40th annual All-Star Race weekend had its two heat races washed out. The field was then set by NASCAR’s rule book, except for Team Penske’s Logano, who won the top spot in Saturday’s qualifying session.
On Sunday, after Kyle Busch was squeezed into the wall with Ricky Stenhouse Jr. just ahead of him, Busch’s No. 8 Chevrolet caught Stenhouse’s No. 47 and turned it into the Turn 2 wall on Lap 2 for the first caution.
An angry Stenhouse then parked his damaged Chevrolet in Busch’s pits and confronted crew chief Randall Burnett.
After the race, Stenhouse briefly fought with Busch near the No. 8 team’s hauler.
Logano, Buescher, Blaney and Brad Keselowski — all drivers who stayed out on the soft tires after the Stenhouse caution — paced the field through 50 laps.
Logano’s Ford stayed out front, but Bubba Wallace’s No. 23 Toyota fought door-to-door with Logano for 25 laps to stay on the lead, and it did when the second yellow flag, a scheduled one, waved at the halfway point for mandatory pit stops.
With the five cars on soft tires running equal or better times compared to everyone else, teams opted for the softer tires during the stop, just like they did to start the 200-lap race.
Logano and Christopher Bell ran side-by-side with 92 laps to go, but Hamlin slipped into the mix and gained second behind Logano. All-Star Open winner Ty Gibbs then spun for the third caution on Lap 119 after Busch tapped him.
TY GIBBS, BUBBA WALLACE DRIVE WAY INTO ALL-STAR RACE
Joe Gibbs Racing’s Ty Gibbs led every lap Sunday to win the NASCAR Cup Series’ The Open and advance to the evening’s All-Star Race at North Wilkesboro Speedway in North Wilkesboro, N.C.
Following Austin Cindric’s wreck on Lap 59, Gibbs raced away from a tight group of cars, eventually beating Bubba Wallace’s No. 23 by 1.572 seconds.
The pair of Toyota drivers moved into the Sunday night headliner, the non-points All-Star Race that featured a $1 million purse.
Gibbs raced into the All-Star Race for the second straight year, while Noah Gragson rounded out the 20-car field by way of the All-Star fan vote.
Josh Berry, Justin Haley and Gragson completed the top five.
In a 100-lapper that would finalize the field for the All-Star Race, Gibbs’ No. 54 Camry XSE jumped out front from the high side and led Wallace around the 0.625-mile short track.
The JGR driver extended the lead to 1.80 seconds by Lap 20, but Wallace was able to keep his 23XI Racing ride at the same margin over the next 25 circuits around the refurbished speedway.
With a scheduled caution flying at Lap 50, the entire field pitted for service, and the top five emerged as Gibbs, Alex Bowman, Wallace, Chase Briscoe and Berry.
The second caution flew when Cindric’s No. 2 Ford made hard contact into the frontstretch wall to set up the mad dash to the end.

INDIANA PACERS BASKETBALL
NEW YORK (AP) — Tyrese Haliburton scored 26 points and the Indiana Pacers rode one of the most sensational first halves in Game 7 history to a 130-109 victory over the New York Knicks on Sunday, advancing to the Eastern Conference finals for the first time in 10 years.
The No. 6-seeded Pacers set an NBA playoff record by shooting 67.1% from the field and advanced to face top-seeded Boston in a series that begins Tuesday. Indiana last reached the conference finals in 2014, losing to Miami.
The Pacers made 29 of their 38 shots in the first half, a shooting percentage of 76.3% that was the highest in the postseason since 1997, when the NBA began keeping detailed play-by-play for all four quarters. They led 70-55 at that point and pulled away every time the Knicks tried to make a run in the second half.
“I just told our team when you win a Game 7 in Madison Square Garden, you’ve made history,” Pacers coach Rick Carlisle said.
Jalen Brunson left in the second half with a broken left hand, one final injury for a Knicks team that was decimated by them.
They got OG Anunoby back Sunday after he missed the previous four games with a strained left hamstring, but he clearly wasn’t moving well and was taken out of the game after just five minutes.
Pascal Siakam and Andrew Nembhard each scored 20 points and Aaron Nesmith was 8 for 8 en route to his 19 for the Pacers.
Donte DiVincenzo made nine 3-pointers and scored 39 points for the Knicks, who were trying to reach the conference finals for the first time since 2000 but couldn’t overcome the losses of Julius Randle, Mitchell Robinson and Bojan Bogdanovic, before losing Anunoby and finally Brunson.
Brunson finished with 17 points and nine assists, shooting 6 for 17 after scoring 40 or more points five times in this postseason. Alec Burks came off the bench for 26 points.
The third Game 7 between the franchises — the Knicks won in the 1994 Eastern Conference finals and the Pacers pulled out a 97-95 victory the next year in the East semifinals — was a chance for the Pacers to show off the offense that led the NBA with 123.3 points per game.
They scored 39 points in the first quarter, the most in a Game 7 in the play-by-play era, looking every bit like the team that set an NBA record this season by reaching 140 11 times.
The Pacers made 10 of their first 11 shots — it would have been 11 of 12, but Myles Turner’s dunk attempt bounced back out of the basket — and didn’t slow down much the rest of the half. Knicks fans who were screaming and chanting before the game were groaning during it as the Pacers made shot after shot, no matter how well the Knicks had defended them.
The Pacers led 39-27 after shooting 16 for 21 from the field (76.2%) and 7 for 9 from 3-point range (77.8%) in the first quarter. Indiana then went 13 for 17 (76.5%) in the second quarter, with the lead growing to 22 points.
The Knicks cut it to 70-55 at halftime, then scored the first seven out of the break as part of a 12-3 start to the second half that trimmed it to 73-67. But with the Pacers leading by seven, the Knicks committed three straight turnovers that helped Indiana push the lead to 84-70.
Josh Hart played through an abdominal strain for the Knicks, fouling out with 10 points and eight rebounds.
INDIANAPOLIS INDIANS BASEBALL
INDIANAPOLIS – Liover Peguero lined a bases-loaded single into right field to plate the go-ahead run as the Indianapolis Indians defeated Toledo in their final offensive half inning of Game 2 in Sunday afternoon’s doubleheader at Victory Field, 5-4. The Mud Hens took Game 1, 10-1.
Peguero’s single followed a one-out double by Gilberto Celestino, walk to Ji Hwan Bae and a rocket single off the bat of Malcom Nuñez in the sixth inning against Andrew Magno (L, 0-1). Following the go-ahead base knock, Matt Gorski drove in Bae with a sacrifice fly to plate an insurance run for the Indians (20-22).
The teams traded second-inning homers, with a two-run shot off the bat of Matt Gorski – his third homer of the series – besting a solo homer by former Indian Bligh Madris. Gorski’s homer was also his second in as many games.
Ryan Vilade, another former Indians outfielder, then launched a two-run homer in the third to put Toledo on top. Indianapolis tied the game in the fourth when Grant Koch came around to score following a leadoff walk.
Brady Feigl (W, 6-1) surrendered one run in the final 2.0 innings as Indy took the lead.
In Game 1, the Mud Hens (25-20) scored nine unanswered runs with at least one scored in each of the final five innings. Four of the runs came via three home runs, their most in a game this series. Six runs (four earned) came against Indians starter Domingo Germán (L, 0-1).
Mason Englert (W, 3-0) tossed 1.0 scoreless inning in relief as the Mud Hens continued to pile on for the win.
The Indians travel to Des Moines, Iowa to begin a six-game series against the I-Cubs on Tuesday night at 7:38 PM ET. Taking the mound for Iowa will be LHP Thomas Pannone (3-3, 3.13), while the Indians have yet to name a starter.

Purdue and IU also squared off in the Big Ten Tournament in 1993, 2008, 2009 and 2010. The Boilermakers have won four of the six meetings overall, including three in a row. The Hoosiers won in the opening round in 2009 en route to winning the title.
The 2012 season marked the first of 11 consecutive Big Ten Tournament berths for Indiana, which is the only team in the league to qualify for the event every year it has been held since.
Mike Bolton Jr., CJ Backer, Griffin Lohman and Morales (for Penn State) are the active Boilermakers that have seen action in the Big Ten Tournament.

That followed consecutive rounds of four-under 284 over the first two days of the tournament. Butler stood in fifth after each of the first two rounds before their Sunday move.
Damon Dickey had the best Sunday round for the Bulldogs, carding a five-under 67 to move up 14 spots on the leaderboard and into a tie for 11th. Dickey’s only blemish came on the first hole, but he followed that initial bogey with six birdies the rest of the way. He finished the event at four-under 212.
It was Dickey’s school record that Zurovac overtook. Dickey posted a 10-under total of 203 at the Tom Tontimonia Invitational in Ohio in October. Zurovac’s new program mark is relative to par as Dickey’s 10-under 203 came on a par-71 course.
Zurovac started Sunday on fire as he was four-under on his round through his first three holes. That included an eagle on the par-5, 575-yard third hole. The sophomore shot 31 (-5) on the front nine and ended his round with a two-under 70 on his scorecard.
Valparaiso’s Anthony Delisanti, who used a 10-under round of 62 Saturday to climb into the lead, shot 68 Sunday to finish at 201 (-15) and take medalist honors. He was one shot better than Washington State’s Sam Renner, who shot 64 Sunday. Zurovac and Jack Beauchamp of TCU, who was the first-round leader, tied for third.
Washington State trailed TCU by a single stroke entering Sunday’s final round. WSU was 20 shots better than TCU Sunday, taking the NGI title at 41-under 823 after carding the best round of the tournament at 22-under 266.

THE BULLDOGS:
T3) Leo Zurovac, 68-67-70—205 (-11)
T11) Damon Dickey, 71-74-67–212 (-4)
T15) Will Horne, 70-72-71–213 (-3)
T23) Derek Tabor, 75-71-70–216 (E)
38) Daniel Tanaka, 75-74-73–222 (+6)
The 54-hole NGI, being contested in Maricopa, Ariz., gives teams on the outside of the NCAA postseason a chance to have a season-ending championship of their own.
