Pinkins Leads Usf To Win Over Pacific On Senior Night

Perhaps channeling the pomp and circumstance of the pregame ceremony — flowers, sappy music, families taking pictures — Pinkins poured in a game-high 18 points, riding a bruising post game and a silky stroke to a 7-for-10 shooting night, carrying the Dons past Pacific, 65-55, at Memorial Gym in each team’s final game of the regular season. Sluggishness defined much of the game's early minutes; offensive fouls and turnovers seemed to occur just as often as made baskets. When Pacific took their first lead, 15-14, with 7:05 left in the first half, they’d made just three field goals, the rest coming on free-throw attempts. A spectacular series of plays by forward Eric Thompson, including a hook shot prayer while absorbing contact and the foul, gave Pacific a 39-35 lead a few minutes into the second half. USF forward Matt Christiansen, who finished with 14 points, nailed a hook shot with under two minutes left to extend the lead to 9.

Woeful Rockies lose to Marlins in 10th inning, slide to 7-24 after sweep
Denver Post, Thursday - 05/02/2024 - 03:43 PM
Just how low can the Rockies go? There’s no telling, not after getting swept in Miami by another bad baseball team. The Marlins finished their three-game broom job with a 5-4 walk-off win in the 10th inning Thursday afternoon at loanDepot park. The Marlins’ Jesus Sanchez lined a single to left off lefty reliever Jalen Beeks to drive in ghost runner Luis Arraez. After the game, the Rockies closed the clubhouse to the media to hold a team meeting, presumably to figure out how to stop the bleeding.
