OMAHA, Neb. — Florida had been involved in more close games than any other team at the College World Series this year.
That changed in a big way Sunday, when the Gators unleashed an offensive barrage of historic proportions.
Florida, who trailed 3-1 in the third inning, scored the most runs in a CWS game and came up one short of the record for largest margin of victory in a 24-4 rout of LSU that forced a deciding Game 3 of the finals.
The Gators (54-16) hit six home runs on a windy day at Charles Schwab Field and pounded LSU (53-17) pitching for a CWS record-tying 23 hits a day after Ty...
Nardi, Berti come up big in 11th as Marlins survive another late bullpen collapse; Arraez stays above .400
MIAMI — Jon Berti drove in the winning run with a single in the 11th inning, and the Miami Marlins beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 4-3 Saturday.
Automatic runner Joey Wendle advanced to third on Nick Fortes’ sacrifice bunt before Berti hit a line drive to right against Angel Perdomo (1-1).
Yuli Gurriel’s sacrifice fly off Pirates closer David Bednar in the bottom of the 10th tied it at 3-all after Ke’Bryan Hayes put the Pirates ahead in the top half with an RBI single.
Luis Arraez homered and walked twice, Jacob Stallings had three hits and Andrew Nardi (5-1) struck out the side in a perfect...
Puk blown save soils Luzardo stellar start as Pirates pass Marlins in ninth to snap 10-game skid
MIAMI — Carlos Santana broke a ninth-inning tie with an RBI single and the Pittsburgh Pirates snapped a 10-game losing streak, rallying to beat the Miami Marlins 3-1 on Friday night.
Down 1-0 after eight innings, Pittsburgh scored three runs against relievers A.J. Puk (3-2) and Dylan Floro.
“When you’re in the midst of a losing streak and you get down to the ninth and you have their closer, it’s really easy to give away at bats,” Pirates manager Derek Shelton said. “And we didn’t. We were able to manufacture the way we’ve done. I’m really proud of them.”
Josh Palacios had a pinch leadoff...
How much did Titan search cost? US Coast Guard’s bill alone will be in the millions, experts say
By DAVID SHARP (Associated Press)
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — The cost of the unprecedented search for the missing Titan submersible will easily stretch into the millions of dollars, experts said Friday.
The massive international effort by aircraft, surface ships and deep-sea robots began Sunday when the Titan was reported missing. Searchers raced against a 96-hour clock in the desperate hope to find and rescue the vessel’s occupants before their oxygen supply ran out.
But all hope was extinguished Thursday when officials announced the submersible had suffered a catastrophic implosion, killing...
Prosecutors in Trump document case ask judge to move trial date to December
Prosecutors in a court filing Friday asked the federal judge presiding over former President Donald Trump’s classified document case to push the trial date back from mid-August to December in Fort Pierce.
Just earlier this week, the start date for the two-week trial was scheduled for Aug. 14. The government is now asking U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon to begin with jury selection on Dec. 11, according to the motion. Legal experts this week told the South Florida Sun Sentinel the August date was too soon and would likely be moved.
Because the case involves classified documents, Trump’s...
Miami Heat select UCLA’s Jaime Jaquez Jr. at No. 18 in NBA draft
MIAMI – Less than two weeks after their season came to an end with a Game 5 loss to the Denver Nuggets in the NBA Finals, the Miami Heat turned to the future at Thursday’s NBA draft with the selection of UCLA swingman Jaime Jaquez Jr. with the No. 18 choice.
Because the NBA does not reseed teams based on playoff results, the Heat wound up picking in the middle of the first round in the wake of closing the 2022-23 regular season at 44-38.
For the Heat, the addition of 22-year-old Jaquez adds to a youth component that also includes 20-year-old 2022 first-round pick Nikola Jovic, who went...
The Titan submersible imploded, killing all 5 on board, the US Coast Guard says
By PATRICK WHITTLE, HOLLY RAMER and LOLITA C. BALDOR (Associated Press)
A submersible carrying five people to the Titanic imploded near the site of the shipwreck and killed everyone on board, authorities said Thursday, bringing a tragic end to a saga that included an urgent around-the-clock search and a worldwide vigil for the missing vessel.
The sliver of hope that remained for finding the five men alive was wiped away early Thursday, when the submersible’s 96-hour supply of oxygen was expected to run out following its Sunday launch and the Coast Guard announced that debris had been found...
Marlins rally after Garrett’s dominant performance, top Pirates in series opener
MIAMI — Garrett Cooper doubled, singled and hit a go-ahead three-run homer in the eighth inning as the Miami Marlins beat Pittsburgh 6-4 Thursday night and extended the Pirates’ losing streak to 10 games.
Trailing 4-1, the Marlins rallied against Pirates relievers Dauri Moreta and Carmen Mlodzinski in the eighth. Moreta allowed a leadoff double to Jonathan Davis and then walked Luis Arraez and Jorge Soler.
Mlodzinski (0-1) relieved Moreta and gave up a two-run single by Bryan De La Cruz. Jesús Sánchez reached on a fielder’s choice before Garrett drove Mlodzinski’s first pitch over the wall...

An Aventura Police officer is facing seven charges stemming from an incident in May in Pompano Beach.

Trump adviser faces possible disbarment over his efforts to overturn 2020 election
By STEFANIE DAZIO, MICHAEL R. BLOOD and ALANNA DURKIN RICHER (Associated Press)
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Attorney John Eastman, the architect of a legal strategy aimed at keeping former President Donald Trump in power, concocted a baseless theory and made false claims of fraud in an attempt to overturn the 2020 election, a prosecutor said Tuesday in arguing that Eastman be disbarred.
Eastman’s attorney countered that his client never intended to steal the election, but was considering ways to delay electoral-vote counting so states could investigate allegations of voting improprieties. Trump’s...
