#PhoenixRising | #GoldStandard
Registration is now open for the 18th Annual Night of the Phoenix! Elon University's largest annual fundraising event will take place on Friday, September 5, with doors opening at 5:30 pm at Schar Center! https://t.co/WAEFrWSlYk
Justin Mitrovich threw his 237th career K tonight.
That moves him into a tie for 6th place all-time on Elon’s K list with Jimmy Reyes.
Of the 5 pitchers above him, 2 played all 4 years. The 3 who did it in 3:
Kyle Brnovich (360), Steven Hensley (302) & George Kirby (258).
Y’all ever heard of “Ryan Sprock”?
Last 4 games at the plate:
9-for-18, 4 HR, 9 R, 10 RBI
Last 7 games on the mound:
4 SV, 8.2 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 3 BB, 10 K
If the season ended today, his 1.80 ERA would be the lowest for an Elon P (min. 5 IP) since Brnovich’s 1.71 in 2018
Ohio’s PBM reform shows how strong plan sponsor oversight drives #prescription#drug savings. By insourcing its #Medicaid#PBM, the state:
✅ Boosted #pharmacy dispensing fees
✅ Used acquisition cost survey to reduce pharmacy spreads
✅ Cut $333M in admin costs
✅ Saved taxpayers $140M over 2 years
✅ Improved access (99% of pharmacies in-network)

Holy smokes, @SarahHuckabee signed the bill that bans PBMs from owning pharmacies, gutting one of the most significant conflicts of interest that permeates the prescription drug supply chain. Wow.
