LSU baseball might have found its replacement for Steven Milam as the Tigers have received a commitment from former Texas State shortstop Dawson Park. Park hit 3-oh-1 (301) with 13 home runs and 52 R-B-I’s for the Bobcats, but left the team in early May after an altercation with teammates.
Park is the second addition to the LSU roster through the transfer portal. The Tigers also got a commitment from former Gonzaga right-hander Landon Hood, who was the West Coast Conference Freshman of the Year.
In the Super Regionals the Ole Miss Rebels defeated Auburn six to four to take game one. U-S-C upended North Carolina nine to five, Troy trounced Little Rock 12 to 2 and West Virginia won by the same score over Cal Poly. Today’s action begins at 10 AM as Mississippi State visits Georgia.
The Knicks defeated the Spurs 105 to 104 to go up two games to nothing in the NBA Finals.

The SEC-ACC matchups in college basketball have been announced. The Lady Tigers will visit North Carolina, while Coach Will Wade’s team will host Wake Forest in the first week of December. The Tigers will also travel to Spokane, Washington to play Gonzaga.
SEC commissioner Greg Sankey dismissed the idea that the Southeastern Conference and the Big Ten are discussing a merger and creating a super league. In an interview with ESPN’s Paul Finebuam, Sankey said such an idea is not consistent with the truth.
The NCAA Division One cabinet held off on voting on an age-based eligibility model. Under the proposal under consideration, college athletes would have five years to complete eligibility, and the clock would start when they enroll in college for the first time or the beginning of the academic year following their 19th birthday. Such a proposal could prevent athletes 23 and older from playing college athletics. A vote is expected in a couple of weeks.
