Now OU baseball can get a little greedy. And head coach Skip Johnson can thank Easton Carmichael a lot for that. Carmichael came through early and often for OU on its way to a 5-3 victory against visiting Ole Miss on Saturday afternoon at L. Dale Mitchell Ballpark. Carmichael hit a pair of home runs to lead the way offensively. He brought in a pair with a two-run shot in the bottom of the first. Then with OU leading 3-1, added a solo shot in the fifth inning. A strong outing from Cade Crossland against the high-powered Rebels offense. He threw six innings before being relieved after not getting the first batter out in the seventh. Crossland allowed five hits, two runs with just one walk and eight strikeouts in 100 pitches. This was a day where Jamie Hitt did not have it out of the bullpen, but Jason Bodin did.

Used for the second day in a row, Bodin got out of a jam in the seventh as Ole Miss cut the margin down to 5-3. He threw 1.2 innings, didn’t give up a hit and walked one with two strikeouts. Then, of course, it was time for Dylan Crooks. After getting the first two out, Crooks ran into trouble in the ninth inning. He allowed a single with a full count, and then a double to put the tying runs in scoring position. But he closed the door with a strikeout to earn his 12th save of the season. Carmichael had four hits, while Trey Gambill added two. The Sooners had 10 for the game. OU left 10 runners on base but got away with it. OU is now 19-7 at home this season. Break out the brooms?

He has a knack for being able to read every given play and make a tackle as the action develops in front of him. His discipline and ability to finish the down with a thump were likely strong traits that led to the Browns picking him up as an UDFA An underrated part of his game is his ball skills. While linebackers are often notorious for dropping sure-fire interceptions, he ended 2024 with five picks. A couple of those INTs came off a deflection or quick reflexes. Being as the number one aim for a defender is to give the ball back to the offense, this is something that Cleveland will hope to continue to see from the now-former Trojan. © 2025 Minute Media - All Rights Reserved The content on this site is for entertainment and educational purposes only Betting and gambling content is intended for individuals 21+ and is based on individual commentators' opinions and not that of Minute Media or its affiliates and related brands All picks and predictions are suggestions only and not a guarantee of success or profit If you or someone you know has a gambling problem crisis counseling and referral services can be accessed by calling 1-800-GAMBLER ","https://fansided.com/",{"alt":"5a","src":"5b","url":"5c"},{"type":"59","value":"5d"},"link","Minute Media","https://www.minutemedia.com/",{"text":"5g","url":"5h"},{"type":"5f","value":"5i"},"All Rights Reserved Betting and gambling content is intended for individuals 21+ and is based on individual commentators' opinions and not that of Minute Media or its affiliates and related brands The linebacker signed an undrafted free agent agreement with the Cleveland Browns, as shared by Rivals' BeaversEdge.com writer Ryan Harlan on X He will join a linebacking corps that includes Jordan Hicks Even so, knowing how competitive Mascarenas-Arnold is and what he can bring to the defensive unit While with the Trojans, Mascarenas-Arnold showed his big-play potential as a starter.

Lucas builds off 1st career start with 8 K's in 2nd straight winApril 9th a player comes along who reminds you that every single move matters Fans bundled themselves in coats and scarves to survive a frigid Fenway Park Tuesday night, hoping to see a dominant lefty. Well, they did, his name was just Lucas outdueled Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet in a convincing, 6-1 win. What a 48 hours it’s been for the Blue Jays, with the news of Vladimir Guerrero Jr.’s 14-year, $500 million extension on top of two wins in Boston but what Lucas did Tuesday night deserves a share of the spotlight to itself The 28-year-old journeyman threw 5 1/3 scoreless innings and the eye test may have looked even better than the box score “He pitched with no fear,” said Bo Bichette For him to pitch like that against a lineup like that pitching coach Pete Walker nearly took his arm off with a high five There was such a sense of confidence to the way Lucas pitched, his body uncoiling towards the Blue Jays’ dugout each time. The quick, quiet fist pumps grew from the first strikeout to the eighth. Coming off five shutout frames in his first start a week ago he once again looked like a pitcher who belonged not a guy making his second career start in the Majors The Blue Jays claimed him off waivers from the Tigers on Aug and you’re forgiven if you don’t remember the move The Blue Jays churned through what felt like 100 waiver-wire pitchers in the second half of last year particularly after their Trade Deadline sell-off they activated him for a few days and it didn’t go well He allowed six runs over 4 2/3 innings with four walks and two strikeouts the first man in line to take Max Scherzer’s rotation spot on a team that’s trying to compete for the postseason … and he’s nailing it “I have a lot of confidence in where I’m throwing my pitches That clicked at the end of Spring Training,” Lucas said “I was struggling to command my fastball last year and I was dealing with the adrenaline I’m focused on being under control and commanding my fastball he just needs to keep doing it while opposing lineups -- stacked with MLB stars -- prepare for him with more and more video to watch people are going to react to it,” manager John Schneider said the more adjustments you have to make without deviating from your strengths too much.” This is where the magic happens in baseball Front offices dream of finding another Jose Bautista the role player they pluck off the waiver wire or land in a minor trade who suddenly clicks Lucas hasn’t just filled in and eaten some average-looking innings but these games count just as much as the ones in September Sign up to receive our daily Morning Lineup to stay in the know about the latest trending topics around Major League Baseball When the Blue Jays go shopping in the expensive aisle Just look at the veterans alongside Lucas on this pitching staff The Blue Jays need to find more of these success stories a “pleasant surprise,” as Schneider put it Whether this lasts for another week or a few more months That mostly unnoticed waiver claim last season ended up mattering more than we ever expected “You hope it’s one of those feel-good stories These two starts from Lucas are what front offices and pitching coaches spend thousands of hours on a year because when they hit -- even if it’s just for a couple of weeks -- it can make all the difference 1/13Easton track and field hosts Phillipsburg April 29, 2025.st1{fill-rule:evenodd;clip-rule:evenodd;fill:#2a2a2a}By Brad Wilson | For lehighvalleylive.comSometimes it seems that when Easton and Phillipsburg match up on the athletic field The Red Rovers continued their recent dominance of the P‘burg girls with a decisive 116-34 triumph Tuesday in the annual rivalry dual meet in front of a big Senior Day crowd at Easton’s track There was never much doubt the result of the meet shot put;

in the 200 Decius knows what a great day would look like We bet Elvin Decius won’t have to wait long If you’re looking for an example of classic P’burg toughness prevailing where Stateliner junior Devin Anderson and Rover senior Xavier Richardson staged a match race the kind of compelling competition that can make track such a thrilling sport Anderson found just a little extra late to pull away late and win in 2:05.83 to Richardson’s 2:07.47 I felt like that the competition just makes me me; there’s no competition like racing,” Anderson said “The last 300 meters is where you have dig deep at Coach (Bill) Hurst always pushes us in practice and we run a lot of 300 repeats Today was just another day of me digging deep and getting done what we have to have done.” That motto could have applied to P’burg sophomore hurdler Mateo Barrow The Stateliners boys have enjoyed success in the hurdles over Easton in recent seasons and that continued Tuesday Barrow combined with junior Adeniola Akinjomo to go 1-2 in both hurdles and Akinjomo the intermediates; Jackson Cross gave P’burg a sweep of the 300s with a third-place finish – an interesting result given that the Stateliners rarely run the 300s; New Jersey runs the 400 hurdles “In Pennsylvania it’s just so much shorter; that last 100; the 300 hurdles is just like practice for the 400 hurdles,” said Barrow who made it clear he didn’t care for intermediate hurdles at any distance I wanted to go sub-15 this season but now we’re just shooting for low-15s when I getting to the hurdles it’s like stutter-step In the 110s I don’t have to think about it Barrow also did the team a favor by stepping into his first 400 relay at the varsity level due to injury and helping P’burg win the race; the lightning-fast handoffs in the 400 can be very tricky for newcomers but all was smooth for the Stateliners winning in 45.47 “At school today coach (Brett Hyland) told me I had to be a man he was throwing me in the 4x1,” Barrow said “Just today before the race I was practicing handoffs.” Phillipsburg won every event on the track but two and Rover junior Evan Guydish was why; he won the 3,200 meter run in 10:33.79 and anchored the winning 3,200 relay home in 9:07.89 The 3,200 run is at the end of the meet and it was interesting to watch Guydish getting ready to run it for a long time; the intensity on his face cranked up and up as the race got closer and I don’t get to run the 3,200 too often,” Guydish so it was nice to get back into the longer distances races You’re kind of in your own zone and you can focus and get a good rhythm there you have a lot more motivation because you’re doing it for the whole team; the camaraderie.” Easton’s boys throwers kept the dual close; they scored 24 of the 27 points available but I think we have a very bright future,” Easton head coach Justin Patterson said as well as Mascarenas-Arnold was coached last year at USC NFL draft prospects need to be the very best athletic performers with supreme physical profiles Mascarenas-Arnold doesn't check enough of those boxes Let's see if EMA can max out enough to get a special teams or backup linebacker job in the pros Photo by: Lucas MorrellMountain Hawks Head To Easton To Conclude Series With Lafayette4/15/2025 3:21:00 PM | Baseball Lucas delivers 'huge' scoreless outing for Toronto in 1st MLB startApril 3rd TORONTO -- Great time for a best-case scenario The Blue Jays were quick to shuffle their rotation and made good on their strategy, pitching five scoreless innings in a 4-2 win over the Nationals on Wednesday afternoon at Rogers Centre It was by far Lucas’ best outing in a Blue Jays uniform, a silver lining coming out of a massive blow to Toronto’s pitching staff. Recalled from Triple-A Buffalo last Sunday as the corresponding move for Max Scherzer’s placement on the 15-day IL Lucas held the Nationals to one hit and two walks with three strikeouts to help Toronto secure its first sweep of 2025 -- in his first Major League start Wednesday’s finale originally lined up with Kevin Gausman’s turn through the rotation but with a tough series against the Mets set to start on Friday in New York giving Gausman some extra rest and turning to Lucas against a Nationals lineup that skews left-handed Chalk it up to a team set on finding every possible edge Scherzer’s thumb issue cast doubts over Toronto’s pitching depth even before he landed on the IL and another wave of questions rushed in once the move was made including bringing Yariel Rodríguez out of the bullpen for a spot start The Cuban righty holds enough potential as a setup man -- a role in which he thrived during his time in Japan -- to stay where he is for now but he’s built up for length and can still give his team multiple innings if necessary That decision opened another avenue for Lucas who appeared in two games with the Blue Jays after being claimed off waivers from the Tigers last August Toronto was the third and final stop of Lucas’ 2024 season The organization saw enough upside to keep him around and work on improvements in the offseason but last year the results were tough,” said Lucas who pitched to a 10.80 ERA over 11 2/3 innings in the Majors in 2024 “… To have them have confidence in me and to be the first guy up when they need a guy is incredible No one was asking Lucas to be Max Scherzer The directive from manager John Schneider was simple: “Be convicted and stay on the attack.” Lucas did just that riding an effective high fastball and a revamped changeup to some quick outs that allowed the Blue Jays to take a breath before embarking on a stretch of 13 games in 13 days “He gave us everything that we needed,” said George Springer who belted his first homer of the season to help Lucas to a win “A performance like that is huge [not just] for him That appreciation reached all corners of the clubhouse who hit Lucas with a “way to step up” after the southpaw’s day was done “That was awesome,” a smiling Lucas recalled They're super supportive and great dudes so it's awesome to get to hang around them.” The Blue Jays are headed for New York with a 5-2 record and plenty to like about how things are going on either side of the ball one good outing does not not make a starter and Lucas isn’t exactly a lock to occupy this spot until Scherzer is healthy again If this team could get a couple more best-case scenarios out of this early adversity, it would probably entail a combination of Lucas starting and Rodríguez pitching for length out of the bullpen. Names like Eric Lauer and Jake Bloss (Toronto’s No. 6 prospect especially considering the long stretch ahead “We’ll see,” Schneider said when asked about how the Blue Jays will move forward “I think it was a good lineup for [Lucas] to navigate The Family Interactive feature enhances An Amazing Life Authorized family members can securely access their loved one's memorial website settings at any time Please enter the name and email details so that we can send your friend a link to the online tribute No names or addresses will be collected by using this service Provide comfort for the family by sending flowers or planting a tree in memory of James Easton Please enter your question or comment below: A receipt has been emailed to the address provided Agreement with Policy and Continued Use of Site We encourage you to share your most beloved memories of James here so that the family and other loved ones can always see it and can even comment on those shared by others it will also remain on this memorial website in perpetuity PLEASE NOTE: The reproduction of any copyrighted images is forbidden without express written permission from the copyright holder any image in violation of any copyright laws you will receive two daily updates containing all new stories one week prior to the anniversary of death The email will only serve as a reminder should you choose to connect with the family at what will no doubt be a difficult time Please select your relationship to the deceased and add your email address before submitting (740) 702-2149 Zachary Russell is the digital editor at Chain Store Age He has been with CSA’s parent company EnsembleIQ since 2021 first serving as associate editor at Store Brands he was a freelance reporter covering local news stories of all kinds for the Press & Guide and The News-Herald newspapers Zach graduated from Wayne State University with a degree in print and online Journalism in 2020 Connect with Zach on LinkedIn.
