UCF basketball set to lose fifth player to transfer portal with Ithiel Horton • Bucs, wide receiver Mike Evans talking about third contract
 Sentinel Sports Final Monday, June 26, 2023 | | |
| | | | Gators set CWS record for runs, clobbering LSU to force deciding Game 3 | Siri homers as MLB-leading Rays salvage spilt of 4-game series with K.C. | Ross Chastain holds off Martin Truex Jr. to win NASCAR's Ally 400 | | | | The Gators (54-16) hit 6 home runs and pounded LSU (53-17) for a CWS record-tying 23 hits a day after Ty Floyd struck out 17 in the Tigers' 4-3 11-inning win in Game 1. | | | | | The 6-foot-5, 200-pound Horton averaged 12.4 points and 3.7 rebounds while connecting on 38% of his field goals in his only season with the Knights. The New Jersey native previously played at the University of Delaware (2018-19) before transferring to Pittsburgh (2019-22) and then UCF (2023). | | | | | Mike Evans will turn 30 in August and is in the final year of his contract. He has not only been a model of consistency with an NFL record nine consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons to start his career, he's an unselfish player at a position not known for that quality. | | | | | Ross Chastain held off Martin Truex Jr. and won the Ally 400 at Nashville Superspeedway. It's the third Cup Series victory for Chastain and his first since Talladega in April of last year. Chastain also gave Trackhouse Racing its first victory of the year at its home track. He led a race-high 100 laps, including the final 34. The 30-year-old had to weave by some slower traffic to hold off Truex by 0.789 seconds. Chastain clinched a playoff berth and celebrated with a burnout before smashing a watermelon. Denny Hamlin finished third, Chase Elliott was fourth and Kyle Larson was fifth. | | | | | Jose Siri homered, Wander Franco had a sacrifice fly in a two-run seventh inning, and the MLB-leading Tampa Bay Rays beat Kansas City 3-1 to split a four-game series with the lowly Royals. The Rays (54-27) are 6-7 over their last 13 games that includes a four-game split with Oakland, which has the worst record in the majors. Kansas City dropped to 22-56. The game was delayed approximately 15 minutes in the fifth inning when plate umpire and crew chief Mark Wegner took a hard foul tip by Tampa Bay's Randy Arozarena off the mask. After being checked out behind the plate, Wegner walked off the field with a Rays' trainer. | | | | | Eury Pérez (5-1) extended his scoreless string to 21 innings. The right-hander has allowed one run over 28 innings in five starts in June. | | | | | This is not some knee-jerk reaction or a "we'll-show-him" punishment. The concern about Franco's behavior has been building for quite some time. It just finally reached a point where patience was no longer an option. | | | | | The 20-year-old closed with a 4-under 67 to finish at 8-under 276. | | | | | Thanks to a closing 2-under 68, Keegan Bradley finished 3 shots ahead of Zac Blair, who shot 62, and Brian Harman, who closed with a 64. | | | | | The details of how much time Connor Bedard has devoted to developing his game and imposing shot have become the stuff of lore. Vacations were skipped. Windows were broken. And neighbors awakened by the constant thud of Bedard practicing his shot outside into the night in his driveway. The payoff comes Wednesday, when the 17-year-old from North Vancouver, British Columbia, is expected to be selected by the Chicago Blackhawks with the No. 1 pick in the NHL draft. Bedard is being billed as a generational talent and already is drawing comparisons to Edmonton's Connor McDavid. | | | |
