Despite the seeds, it was a battle between the Bay Conference 1st-place team, Xavier, and the 2nd-place team, Seymour.

Sectionals-bound Xavier was led by Kyler Bleck, who threw a complete game victory & hit a 3-run double.

Crazy fact: No Lutheran school has ever won a WIAA (Wisconsin) softball state title.

What a historic season for Wisconsin's lone NCAA D1 baseball program!

The Milwaukee Panthers advanced to the Regional Final for the first time in program history, coming up just one win away from becoming the first Horizon League team to reach the Super Regionals.

[Jordan Loppnow @JordanLoppnow]

UWM John Hadley VI (Sun Prairie East) hit a home run to center field to tie the game.

UWM Riley Peterson (Verona) is pitching well.

End of 4th inning:
Milwaukee 2
Auburn 2

The winner advances to the Super Regionals, which is similar to Sweet 16 in basketball (16 teams left).

The 2002 Sacramento Kings were robbed of an NBA championship.

Rest in peace, Rick Adelman.

He was a truly great coach!

[Sacramento Kings @SacramentoKings]

The Sacramento Kings organization is deeply saddened by the passing of Rick Adelman, a beloved coach whose leadership, character, and vision helped define an era of Kings basketball that inspired our city and captivated fans around the world.   

During his eight seasons in Sacramento, he led the team to unprecedented success and helped create some of the most memorable moments in franchise history. For an entire generation of Kings fans, Coach Adelman represented the very best of Sacramento basketball, and he will be remembered for the way he inspired those around him – with humility, integrity, kindness, and an unwavering belief in the power of teamwork. His leadership helped establish a culture that continues to resonate throughout our organization today.  

Our thoughts are with Mary Kay, his family, friends, former players, and all who loved him.

Flamethrower Jacob Misiorowski is currently leading MLB in strikeouts (108).

No pitcher in Milwaukee Brewers history (1970–present) has ever led the entire MLB in strikeouts at the end of a regular season.

San Antonio Spurs head coach Mitch Johnson (R) is the son of John Johnson (L).

John led Milwaukee Messmer boys basketball to the 1966 state title. He is regarded as one of the best players ever to come out of Milwaukee.

Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Brandon Sproat is feeling really down after his performance today.

He might lose his spot in the starting rotation.

His ERA (earned run average) rose to 6.24.

Waupun is surrounded by FVA (Fox Valley Association) teams in the WIAA softball playoffs.

They beat two FVA teams in the regionals and will face another in the sectional semifinal.

If they win, they will face Kimberly or Neenah -- both FVA teams -- in the sectional final.

The Wildcats are regional champions for the first time in school history.

@JeffPawlinski Unfortunately, it was a one-hitter. I know many felt it should have been a no-hitter.

[Jordan Loppnow @JordanLoppnow]

38 YEARS AGO TODAY

On May 28, 1988, 35-year-old Odell Jones nearly threw the second no-hitter in Milwaukee Brewers franchise history, but he lost it in the 9th inning against the Cleveland Indians.

Juan Nieves remains the only Milwaukee Brewer to throw a solo no-hitter (1987).
