Sentinel Sports Final

Sunday, June 9, 2024

There's a good chance that UF and FSU will be among the final eight teams competing for the College World Series crown. The Seminoles made it on a dramatic 12th-inning home run. The Gators enter today up 1-0 in a best-of-3 series with favorite Clemson. ... The Panthers opened Stanley Cup play emphatically, keeping Edmonton scoreless. ... Colombia left its boot marks all over Team USA in their soccer exhibition near Washington DC. The Americans have to play better Wednesday when they come to Camping World Stadium to matchup with Brazil. They can't possibly play any worse ... Luka Doncic has a chance to make up for Dallas' faceplant tonight in Game 2 at Boston, but another bad loss might spell doom.
