Luis Severino is a concern tonight. The Athletics right-hander exited his start against the Yankees after just one inning Friday with right arm soreness, and Oakland has to be holding its breath. Losing Severino for any stretch of time would be a significant blow to a rotation already under pressure.
Shifting to the diamond in a different way, NC State and UCF are squaring off in Game One of the NCAA Baseball Championship, and the Wolfpack and Knights are bringing serious energy to this one. It's the kind of early-round clash that sets the tone for everything that follows, and both programs came here to make a statement.
And in the WNBA, the Los Angeles Sparks took down the Washington Mystics ninety-two to eighty-seven in a game that got wild in the closing seconds. Erica Wheeler was ice cold under pressure, dropping eight of her twenty-one points in the final seventy seconds. Nneka Ogwumike added twenty points and eleven rebounds, moving into sixth place all-time on the WNBA's career rebounding list with three thousand three hundred twelve boards. History made on a Friday night in Washington.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
