LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers…outscored by the Warriors, 17-9 within the last five minutes of Game 5 of the NBA Finals, which resulted in a 104-91 loss for Cleveland. Golden State now takes a 3-2 lead in the best of seven game series. The Warriors’ Steph Curry hit seven three pointers last night, scoring a total of 37 points. LeBron James had his second triple double of the series last night, scoring 40 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists. The series now shifts back to Cleveland for Game 6. Golden State has a chance to win their first NBA championship since 1975. The Cavs hope to slow down Steph Curry, and stay alive, in hopes of forcing and winning a possible Game 7, in order to give the City of Cleveland their first championship in any sport in 51 years. Game 6 is Tuesday night, and can be heard on 1130 The Tiger.

The Rangers and Twins were tied 3-all in the top of the 9^th inning of Sunday’s contest, until Minnesota’s Byron Buxton laid a turd in the Rangers’ punchbowl, hitting a solo shot in his major league debut. The Twins defeat the Rangers 4-3. The Rangers welcome the Dodgers tonight in Arlington at 7:05.

It seems as if LSU starting pitcher Jared Poche returned to the Jared Poche that struggled in the home stretch of the regular season. After a stellar start against ULL last weekend, Poche and the Tigers unraveled as LSU fell to TCU 10-3 in the College World Series opener. Poche breezed through the first three innings, striking out the first three batters he faced! But, it was a different game after. In the 4^th inning,  Poche airmailed back to back throws to first baseman Chris Chinea, which led to two runs crossing home in the 4^th. The Tigers had a season high 4 errors this game. Poche was out after 4 1/3 innings. Next inning, four more runs crossed home for TCU. After the Horned Frogs posted four more in the seventh, to make the game out of reach for LSU, Jared Foster hit a solo shot in the 8^th. LSU’s collective backs are up against the wall, if they lose again on Tuesday, their season is over. They’ll either play either Cal State Fullerton or Vandy on Tuesday afternoon, the game will be on 1130 The Tiger.

Speaking of Vandy and Cal State Fullerton, they weren’t able to finish their game yesterday because of showers in Omaha. Cal State Fullerton currently holds a 3-0 lead over Vandy in the 6^th inning. The game will continue this morning at 11.

The Hogs fell on Saturday to Virginia, they face Miami in an elimination game this afternoon at 2!
