Gauchos go to Omaha
What’s better than a postseason home run? How about a walk-off homer to clinch a spot in the College World Series?
UC Santa Barbara’s Sam Cohen slugged a game-winning grand slam with one out in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Gauchos a 4-3 win over No. 2 Louisville to advance to the program’s first-ever College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska.

The Cardinals were 47-0 in 2016 when holding a lead after eight innings, and took a 3-0 advantage over the Gauchos into the bottom of the ninth inning. UCSB won the first game of the Super Regional, giving it the home at-bat and one more chance to tie or win the game.

Guthrie pitched for BYU in 1998 before transferring to Stanford, and he was drafted in the first round of the 2002 MLB draft by the Cleveland Indians. He went on to pitch 13 years in the majors with Cleveland, Baltimore, Colorado and (most famously) Kansas City.

The Barcelona star and world soccer’s best (arguably, per Real Madrid rival Cristiano Ronaldo) came off the bench in Argentina’s 5-0 win over Panama in a Copa America group game, and had a fair performance.
He had a hat trick, with the first game coming just moments after checking into the match.
