| | | | Gators get hammered by LSU in CWS finale | Ben McCabe looks to future after stellar UCF baseball career | UF's Walter Clayton Jr. aims to return good vibes to Gators basketball | | | | One day after a 24-4 loss, the Tigers cranked up their offense to win their first championship since 2009 with an 18-4 victory in Game 3. The 14-run margin is the largest ever in a final and the Tigers' 24 hits the most for any CWS game. | | | | | When the time arrived to make an offseason move, Iona guard Walter Clayton Jr. listened to his heart and headed home to Florida rather than follow Hall of Fame coach Rick Pitino to St. John's. The Lake Wales native is a lifelong Gators fan. | | | | | "It's probably one of the most enjoyable times I've had," McCabe said of his time at UCF. "Some of the most memorable moments of my life and career here. Breaking the home run record is something I'll never forget." | | | | | Kriston Esnard played in six games in two seasons with the Green Wave, connecting on 50% of his field goals (3 of 6) and 100% of his extra points (20 of 20). He had one punt for 33 yards last season. | | | | | The Hurricanes named long-time pitching coach J.D. Arteaga the team's new head baseball coach, replacing Gino DiMare. | | | | | The No. 1 draft pick told L'Equipe newspaper he won't play with his national basketball team at this year's World Cup in order to protect his still developing body, and will instead take that time to continue preparing for his rookie season with the San Antonio Spurs. | | | | | College players had been selected No. 1 overall in 16 straight years until that streak ended Thursday night when San Antonio drafted Victor Wembanyama with the first pick. And there's a good chance that a college player won't go No. 1 next year. | | | | | Iga Swiatek remained the women's No. 1 as she has for every week since first climbing to that position in April 2022. | | | | | Marta has been recovering from a knee injury but the 37-year-old Orlando Pride striker is expected to play a role in Brazil's bid for the title at the tournament co-hosted by Australia and New Zealand. | | | | | After another successful race this weekend at Nashville Superspeedway in nearby Lebanon, work continues in the hope of adding NASCAR back to one of the country's oldest and most historic tracks near downtown. | | | |
