Murray State Coach Dan Skirka’s opening statement after the Racers season ends here in the College World Series. Wow.
“One of my wife’s favorite movies is ‘A League of Their Own’, they say there is no crying in baseball. You can throw that out the window.” - @dskirka 🥹
Murray State tarps their own field, their head coach cuts their own grass, and their field only holds 800 people.
They easily have the worst facilities in the Missouri Valley and their coach makes 10x less than the coach of their opponent on Saturday. Give me the Racers.
Murray State wins the Durham Super Regional and advances to the College World Series for the 1st time in program history. The 4th ever 4-seed to make Omaha
NEW: Auburn outfielder Cade Belyeu hits a home run just hours after his mother Staci lost her life following a long battle with cancer.
Unsure if Belyeu would be able to play that day, coach Butch Thompson called Belyeu’s father before the game.
Belyeu’s father said his wife would have wanted her son to play.
“He said Staci wanted him to play. I think it was the most inspiring thing we've ever seen,” Thompson said.
“Our crowd is just amazing. They absolutely sensed and knew what was going on with him. An inspiration by Cade Belyeu.”
NEW: 90-year-old veteran who was forced to pawn jewelry to take care of his wife with dementia, gets $300,000 raised for him after his story went viral.
W.
A GoFundMe was started by Jenelle Marie after the veteran, 'Donald,' came into her shop to pawn jewelry after he fell "behind terribly on all of his bills."
The video below went viral on TT which showed Marie giving him an envelope with $1300 in it.
Marie then launched a GoFundMe, raising over $300,000 which will help Donald pay off debt he accrued while taking care of his wife.
"He is the sweetest old man you could ever meet and loves his wife dearly. He takes care of her around the clock and his landlord is raising their rent and he is falling behind terribly with all of his bills," the GoFundMe said.
Rest in Peace, 11

Bryce Harper’s hair is cool, his beard is cool, his muscles are cool, his swing is cool, he even makes getting ejected look cool. It’s unfair to be that cool.
