OMAHA, Neb. – Steve Spurrier would have loved this game.
Florida did not run up the score in beating LSU by three touchdowns, 24-4, on a lazy Sunday afternoon at the College World Series. It just looked that way, and that would be enough for former Florida football coach Air Spurrier. Frankly, it was hard not to score against the inept Tigers, who committed a season-high five errors.
LSU (53-17) also threw some third-line pitchers whom some thought had already entered the NCAA Transfer Portal.

When Florida bounces back, it does so historically. After a crushing loss in extra innings to start off the men’s College World Series against LSU on Saturday, the Gators put up historic numbers in the second game of the series to tie it up, and the team etched their names into the history books in the process.
Florida broke the record for most runs in a CWS game on Sunday when the squad tallied an absurd 24 runs. Notre Dame held the previous record with 23 runs against Northern Colorado in 1957. Arizona State tied the record against Oklahoma State in ’84.

Ruoning Yin held off a lot of strong players at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship, capturing the first major of her career.
China’s Ruoning Yin knew she needed a birdie on 18 to win the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship. She sunk the 10-foot putt like a veteran. Yin signed for a bogey-free 67 on Sunday to win by one stroke over Yuka Saso.
“After the tee shot, I saw Yuka make an incredible birdie here, and now I have to make birdie at this hole to win the championship — I’m glad I did it,” Yin said during the trophy ceremony.
. Rory McIlroy labelled the PGA Tour course in Connecticut as “obsolete” and claimed that the low scoring at the Travelers Championship has only strengthened the argument of why the governing bodies are right in their plan to put a brake on the absurd distances the pros are launching the ball.

The Men’s College World Series comes down to Game 3 Monday
Game 2: Florida 24, LSU 4
That will do it out in Omaha, as the Gators explode for 24 runs on Sunday to force a decisive Game 3.
Top 9th – The Gators keep scoring, and made some MCWS history in the process. The 24 runs scored by Florida are a new MCWS record, topping the 23 scored by Notre Dame in 1957 and Arizona State in 1984.
Top 8th – Langford comes to the plate needing a triple for the cycle, and laces a line drive to the wall in left.
Alyssa Thomas now has more regular season triple-doubles than anyone in WNBA history.
Running backs have never bees less valuable within the NFL.
From cheap contracts to limited commitment from teams, the best players at the position stand on a drastically low evaluation. One guy speaking up on being a running back in today’s NFL is former Pro Bowl player Melvin Gordon.
Gordon is coming off a Super Bowl win with the Kansas City Chiefs. He is now a free agent, thus dreading what the market holds for him as a 30-year-old running back.

Vermont native, Keegan Bradley practically ran away with the Travelers Championship in Connecticut, Sunday.
27 birdies. That’s how many Keegan Bradley made this week at the Travelers Championship. That led him to a 23-under total score and a three-shot victory, instantly becoming a New England hero after winning his hometown event.
“This is for all the kids that grew up in New England who had to sit through the winters and watch other people play golf,” Bradley said to Amanda Renner of CBS Sports.
Yankees third baseman Josh Donaldson was out of the lineup for the third consecutive game on Sunday.
Prior to New York’s matchup against the Rangers, manager Aaron Boone was late to his pregame media address. As it turns out, Boone and Donaldson were in what the Yankees skipper described as an “important” meeting.
Following the win over Texas, Donaldson was asked about the meeting with Boone, which he downplayed as being “a lot of ball talk.
