If running away is not an option, hide somewhere saf...LSU wins first College World Series title since 2009, beating Florida 18-4 one day after 20-run loss

The runs kept coming until they finished with the most in a title game since USC’s 21-14 win over Arizona State in 1998. The 14-run margin was the largest ever in a final.

Read more Letters to the Editor.State shouldn’t forcebidirectional EVsRe: “State should require EVs to power homes, businesses” (Page A6, June 14).Now that state Sen. Nancy Skinner and the politicians in Sacramento have given us about the highest prices in the country for inadequate and unreliable electricity, she wants to jack up the price of EVs to make up for the state’s crummy electric system.She fails to mention the huge cost to modify building wiring to do this, and that an EV can’t power a whole house without draining the EV. This will only make sense for a tiny handful of relatively wealthy people.Rather than politicians dictating how to build EVs, let EV manufacturers decide if there is enough demand to warrant bidirectional charging on every vehicle and if not, then those who want it can pay for the option.And the answer to Skinner’s flimsy excuses for our unreliable grid is to fix the grid, not force people...Mets fall season-high 8 games under .500 as Wiemer’s 2-run homer gives Brewers 2-1 win

NEW YORK (AP) — Buck Showalter’s solution for his struggling New York Mets seems simple enough.“Win,” the manager said. “It’s not complicated.”So far, not much has worked out. The Mets fell a season-worst eight games under .500 after Joey Wiemer hit a go-ahead, two-run homer to straightaway centerfield in the sixth inning that lifted the Milwaukee Brewers to a 2-1 victory on Monday night.New York, which won 101 games and shared the NL East title last year in Showalter’s first season, is 35-43 despite entering the season with a major league record $355 million payroll. The Mets have lost seven of nine and are 6-15 since completing a three-game sweep of Philadelphia on June 1 — their most recent series win.“It’s always about now and the heck with what happened last year or or last week or tonight,” Showalter said. “You’ve got to get it fixed.”Francisco Lindor hit a sacrifice fly in the fourth for the Mets, who trail NL East-leading Atlanta by 16 games and are 8 1/2 games back of...You don’t need to go to space to see Earth the way NASA sees it

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Andy Ibañez and Jake Rogers homered for the Detroit Tigers, who overcame the early departures of their first two pitchers to beat the AL West-leading Texas Rangers 7-2 on Monday night in the opener of a four-game series. Tigers starter Matthew Boyd and reliever Will Vest were already hurt and out of the game before Ibañez hit a tiebreaking three-run homer in the third inning for a 4-1 lead. Rogers added a two-run shot with two outs in the sixth to chase Texas starter Andrew Heaney (5-5).Rookie Mason Englert (3-2), the third of six Detroit pitchers who combined for 16 strikeouts, allowed one run over 2 1/3 innings. The right-hander from Forney, Texas, about 40 miles from Globe Life Field, was a fourth-round draft pick by the Rangers in 2018, and acquired by the Tigers in the Rule 5 draft last offseason.The Tigers already have nine pitchers on the injured list, though right-hander Matt Manning (right foot fracture) is expected to be activated to start Tuesday n...Tom Holland dice que sus habilidades de reparación impresionaron a Zendaya: “Ahora estamos enamorados”
