All year long, LSU center fielder Dylan Crews has dominated opposing pitchers en route to leading the Tigers to the College World Series. Now, he’s got some impressive hardware to commemorate his special season.
Crews won the Golden Spikes Award on Sunday ahead of Game 2 of the championship series, capping off an incredible junior campaign. He beat out Florida’s Jac Caglianone and LSU teammate Paul Skenes for the top honor. He’s the second player in school history to win the award, following Ben McDonald in 1989.

Houston Astros reliever Ryne Stanek caused a serious uproar in Saturday night’s game against the Los Angeles Dodgers surrounding a questionable violation called by a game official.
Stanek was called for a balk on the mound during a crucial part in the eighth inning that ultimately gave the Dodgers their go-ahead score to win the game, 8-7.
The question is: was it truly a balk?
Stanek pitched to Dodgers’ Miguel Rojas in the eighth, with a Dodger on second and third base.
Alyssa Thomas etched her name in the WNBA record books on Sunday when she notched her fourth regular-season triple double of her career—making her the association’s all-time leader. Thomas passed both Candace Parker and Sabrina Ionescu to take over the top spot.

The accomplishment came Sunday during the Sun’s 96–71 win over the Sky. Thomas notched 14 points, 12 assists and 11 rebounds in the dominant performance.

Few athletes have dominated their sports quite like Lance Armstrong and Caitlyn Jenner.
And now, the two of them will sit down for a conversation about the future of sports — mostly as it relates to the participation of transgender athletes.
Armstrong teased the conversation — which will be featured in the latest episode of his “The Forward” podcast — on social media Saturday.
“Have we really come to a time and place where spirited debate is not only frowned upon, but feared?” Armstrong tweeted.
Boston is just the sixth rookie in WNBA history to be named an All-Star Game starter.
It’s not Mike Moustakas’ fault that the Colorado Rockies lost 25-1 on Saturday. But that didn’t stop the team from trading him to the team that beat them: the Los Angeles Angels.
Shortly after one of the biggest beatdowns in MLB history, the Colorado Rockies looked to make a move. And they found a trade partner: the team that just annihilated them. Following Saturday’s game, the Rockies announced that they traded infielder Mike Moustakas to the Angels.
Moustakas has had a little bit of a resurgence in Colorado following three very disappointing years in Cincinnati.
Given the massive hype that preceded his arrival to the NBA, it wouldn’t be surprising if Spurs big man Victor Wembanyama was considered one of the league’s all-time greats by the end of his playing career. But before he steps foot on a league court, the recent No. 1 pick was asked who he sees as the best in history.
In filling out an all-time starting five, Wembanyama certainly had a proclivity for the modern game, with two active players—LeBron James and Stephen Curry—making his cut. He also wisely gave a nod to his new franchise with the inclusion of Tim Duncan.
The Phoenix Mercury announced Sunday that they have fired head coach Vanessa Nygaard after the team started 2-10 this season. Nikki Blue has been named interim head coach.

Prior to coaching Phoenix, Nygaard spent a year as an assistant coach for the Aces and a decade as the head coach of the Windward School high school girls basketball team in Los Angeles.
