Baseball coaching news. After starting the Lausanne program and turning it into a strong D2-A competitor, Chris Mitchell has been named as Houston’s head coach. Happy for coach Mitchell. You’d be hard pressed to find a more upbeat guy.
This should be how every player, even the teenage up and comers, should feel losing this years Round of 16 and beyond. The opportunity with Carlos & Sinner (plus Novak) all out..might not see that again for years.
Felix Auger Aliassime says he is destroyed after his loss to Flavio Cobolli at Roland Garros, ‘I’m in a tough place right now with my tennis career… I usually handle losses pretty well… Right now I feel like I’m not the player I want to be’
“It’s probably difficult to reflect on this right now. But it’s still a Grand Slam quarterfinal. You’re going to be world #4 on Monday. Can you reflect on this tournament and the first part of the season?”
Felix: “Yeah, on one end, in a bigger perspective, I can’t complain with my life. But I’m in a place right now with my tennis career that… it’s tough. I’m destroyed today a little bit. It’s tough. I usually handle losses pretty well. My whole career I was going back to training with optimism and positivity. Right now I feel like I’m not the player I want to be. Today’s a difficult day.”

Little Rock had to beat Eastern Illinois twice in the OVC title game and was trailing twice in the 7th inning or later. Mounted comebacks in both.
Then made a 9th inning comeback to beat Southern Miss in game 1 of regional who was 32-0 when leading after 8 innings.
Trojans are now 2 wins away from Omaha. Incredible.
NHL fans in Indianapolis have no broadcaster audio for Game 1 of the Stanely Cup Final. Here's how the first goal sounded on WRTV with only the in-arena sound.
Troy vs Little Rock for a trip to Omaha. Both teams heading to Super Regionals for the first time in program history. Best postseason in college sports
@robl6634 Then that umpire would be defying rules and objectives set by the NCAA Baseball Playing Rules Committee and would stop getting postseason assignments. So that umpire can choose to continue to work postseason and make people mad online, or listen to you.
Listen to this crowd pop. West Virginia has come back from down 9-6 in the 9th to take the lead on this Paul Schoenfeld moonshot into the Morgantown night.
Having seen entire home run trot on replay—it was a lot. I still don't know that he was taunting the dugout, given his parents sitting right behind it. But players do need to do a better job making sure they don't put themselves in position to get ejected, hurts their teams too.
An absolutely stunning turn of events here in Athens. Tre Phelps hit a go-ahead 2-run homer, then turned to his parents (sitting directly behind Liberty dugout, 1 row in front of me when I took this photo, before his celebrating dad blocked me). Phelps got ejected. Unreal.
Umpires toss Big 12 Player of the Year Landon Hairston for flipping his bat. He will miss tonight’s game if they advance to the regional final against Ole Miss
On April 3rd, Milwaukee was 5-22 and one of the worst teams in the country.
Some of their losses:
Run-ruled 21-7 by LSU
Run-ruled 20-3 by Duke
Run-ruled 14-4 by Minnesota
Run-ruled 12-2 by SEMO
Run-ruled 17-1 by Purdue
Run-ruled 14-1 by NKU
Run-ruled 13-2 by Wright State
Run-ruled 16-2 by Notre Dame
Run-ruled 14-4 by UNLV
They finished the regular season 22-31, but won the Horizon League tournament and earned an autobid to the NCAA tournament.
Milwaukee beat #4 Auburn 13-8, beat UCF 13-6, and is now in a regional final, one win away from going to supers.
