Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on May 28, 2024. Posted in Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Miami Marlins, MLB, Sports.

By BERNIE WILSON SAN DIEGO — Jake Cronenworth drew a bases-loaded walk with two outs in the seventh, one batter after shortstop Tim Anderson committed his second error of the inning, and the San Diego Padres beat the Miami Marlins 2-1 on Monday. It was the Padres’ second consecutive home win after losing five straight games at Petco Park. It was the second day in a row the Padres put together a small-ball rally. They beat the New York Yankees 5-2 on Sunday to avoid being swept in consecutive home series. “When you get those chances, especially late in the game, those are opportunities that...

GAINESVILLE — Florida shooting guard Walter Clayton Jr. will return for his senior season after leading the Gators in scoring and helping them to their first NCAA tournament bid since 2021. The 6-foot-3, 195-pound combo guard explored his professional options, including a trip to the G League Elite Camp, where he averaged 15.5 points in two games. But the native of Lake Wales decided another season at UF was in his best interest. Clayton, a transfer from St. John’s University, led the Gators with an average of 17.6 points to earn All-SEC honors as Todd Golden’s squad averaged a...

Kyle Kramer wasn’t sure if he wanted to return for his final season of eligibility at UCF. The right-handed pitcher had spent the previous two campaigns with the Knights heading into the 2024 campaign, but his future seemed uncertain until he spoke with new coach Rich Wallace last summer. “He was like, ‘I’ve been to Omaha. I’ve been to Regionals. I’ve been to a Super Regional. I’ve been to everything and it’s an awesome feeling to get there,’” Kramer recalled. “Once he said that, it gave me an idea of the kind of future he wanted here, and I like, ‘OK, we’re going to win here.’ “ That...

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Former “General Hospital” actor Johnny Wactor was shot and killed when he interrupted thieves stealing the catalytic converter from his car in Los Angeles, his family said Sunday. The shooting occurred around 3 a.m. Saturday when the victim approached three men in downtown LA, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. His mother, Scarlett Wactor, told ABC 7 that her 37-year-old son had left work at a rooftop bar with a coworker when he saw someone at his car and thought it was being towed. A mask-wearing suspect opened fire, his mother said. Three suspects drove...

Gators softball headed to WCWS after holding off Baylor behind freshman duo

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on May 27, 2024. Posted in College Sports, Florida Gators, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Sports.

GAINESVILLE — Florida softball coach Tim Walton would have preferred a Sunday off, but an extra trip to the ballpark was worth another visit to the Women’s College World Series. The Gators’ bounce-back 5-3 decision during Game 3 of their NCAA Super Regional with Baylor came on the heels of UF’s first loss in more than a month. Prior to the deciding game, Walton noticed his players had a pep in their step and pop in the bats that had been missing as Saturday’s lackluster 5-2 loss ended UF’s 12-game winning streak. “I would have loved to have won yesterday; I’d be sitting on a beach right...

Dave Hyde: How do you lose a game you dominate? Somehow, Panthers are down 2-1 to Rangers

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on May 27, 2024. Posted in Florida Panthers, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, NHL, Sports.

SUNRISE — Afterward, the Florida Panthers stayed on their bench, waiting and waiting for the New York Rangers winning goal to be ruled official. The Rangers bench had emptied, the players already celebrating in their locker room. The Panthers waited, silent, as if in disbelief at what just happened. How do you lose a game you’ve controlled? How can you fall behind in a series you’ve looked in charge most of the way? They had 108 shot attempts to the Rangers’ 44. They had two power-play goals to none for the Rangers. They controlled play so thoroughly in the third period the Rangers seemed...

Will you please halt all of the hand-wringing and teeth-gnashing? Cease and desist with all of the castigation and consternation. And, for the sake of the late and great Beano Cook, stop with these ridiculous doomsday scenarios that college football is circling the drain now that the NCAA and the power conferences have agreed to allow schools to directly pay players for the first time in the 155-year history of the sport. Believe me, college football will not only continue to survive, it will thrive just as it always has for one very simple reason: It’s idiot-proof. Completely and totally...

Months after a Fort Lauderdale woman went missing in Spain, a grand jury indicted her husband on kidnapping charges, prosecutors announced Friday. Meanwhile, his defense attorney has filed a motion arguing for his release from a Miami prison. The motion and a recent cross examination bring new details to light about what might — or might not — have happened the day that Ana Knezevich disappeared in Madrid. Blood was found in her apartment, and yet detectives have not concluded whose it is. Knezevich had been feeling suicidal, but because of her husband, investigators said. Meanwhile,...

Prosecutors seek to bar Trump from statements endangering law enforcement in classified records case

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on May 25, 2024. Posted in Crime and Public Safety, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, National News, News.

By ERIC TUCKER (Associated Press) WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal prosecutors on Friday asked the judge overseeing the classified documents case against Donald Trump to bar the former president from public statements that “pose a significant, imminent, and foreseeable danger to law enforcement agents” participating in the prosecution. The request to U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon follows a distorted claim by Trump earlier this week that the FBI agents who searched his Mar-a-Lago estate in August 2022 were “authorized to shoot me” and were “locked & loaded ready to take me out & put my...

Did Georgia’s Kirby Smart convince Jaden Rashada to sue UF’s Billy Napier? | Commentary

Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on May 24, 2024. Posted in Columnists, Florida Gators, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Opinion, Sports.

Running off at the typewriter. … There are some of my Gator conspiracy theorist buddies who are actually convinced that Jaden Rashada suing University of Florida football coach Billy Napier and UF’s heavyweight sugar daddy booster Hugh Hathcock for NIL fraud is all being orchestrated by Georgia coach Kirby Smart as a way to get Napier fired. Really, guys? Seriously? Personally, I think it’s just a massive coincidence that Rashada, the much-traveled California quarterback, filed the lawsuit just three weeks after transferring from Arizona State to Georgia. First and foremost, it takes more...
