Tina Floyd squatted down and locked her eyes on the big screen in right field as the Oklahoma City Spark’s pregame hype video rolled.
It might’ve been the only time the professional softball team’s founder stopped moving in the hour before the franchise made its AUSL debut. Wearing her blond hair back in a ponytail, her white Spark shirt and her sneakers, she was there to work. There was no time for reflection. No time for sentimentality.
“Later,” Floyd said.

The New York Knicks have finally ended their 63-year championship drought with their victory over the San Antonio Spurs.
The Knicks beat the Atlanta Hawks, the Philadelphia 76ers, and the Cleveland Cavaliers to advance to the NBA Finals.
They were significant underdogs against the San Antonio Spurs, but they defeated the favourites in just five games.
Jalen Brunson scored 45 points as the Knicks won 94-90 in Game 5 in San Antonio to clinch the title.

STORRS – Two years ago, the St. Paul softball team ran into North Branford in the Class S state tournament quarterfinals and won.
Last year, the two teams met again, this time at UConn for the Class S championship. North Branford won.
Saturday night the game at the Class S state final, as St. Paul coach Gary Hovhanessian put it, was “the rubber match” – once again against North Branford. No. 1 St. Paul put on a hitting display, batting around in the sixth inning and scoring six runs, and the Falcons won their first softball title, 11-3, at UConn’s Burrill Family Field.

Those suckers — especially the Larry O’B — are pretty damn big.
