Oklahoma Pulls Off Four-Peat
The Oklahoma Sooners pulled off a historic feat, clinching their fourth consecutive Women's College World Series championship Thursday with an 8-4 win over Texas. The Sooners' win capped an astonishing run that included six of the last eight WCWS titles and a mind-boggling 235-15 record during the four-peat.
Gunnar Henderson's Journey To MLB
Most MLB teams passed on Gunnar Henderson in the 2019 draft, but the Orioles selected the talented shortstop with the 42nd pick. His journey to the bigs was not easy, but the now-22-year-old is primed to become only the 23rd player age 23 or younger to be worth at least 8.0 bWAR in a single season in the Integration Era.
Lakers Search For Next Coach
The Lakers have narrowed their search for the team's next head coach, reportedly setting their sights on UConn's Dan Hurley. Los Angeles is expected to meet with Hurley, who has led the Huskies program for the last eight years, in Los Angeles soon.
Bloomberg Joins Timberwolves Bid
The race to buy the Timberwolves just got even more interesting. Billionaire and former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg has joined the bid to purchase the team, which is currently owned by Glen Taylor. Bloomberg's group, which includes billionaire Marc Lore and former athlete Alex Rodriguez, currently owns 40% of the team.
