The second-seeded Penn State baseball club took a 6-3 lead into the ninth inning against UW Whitewater in the National Club Baseball Association World Series championship game June 1.

Mark Madden's Hot Take: Top-of-rotation talent Paul Skenes is best choice for Pirates
Mitch Keller deserves lots of credit for making the Pittsburgh Pirates’ season interesting. The right-handed pitcher is 9-4 with a 3.52 ERA. Keller has made 11 quality starts out of 18. Keller is an All-Star and could contend for the National League Cy Young Award. The Pirates aren’t yet very...
The Penguins' bottom 6 forwards are different. Are they better?
Mike Sullivan didn’t have much to say. The Pittsburgh Penguins coach wasn’t all that eager to get into the details of why his third line was thoroughly ineffective — again — after a humbling 5-2 thumping at home by the New Jersey Devils. A fairly innocuous query over the play...

Cameron Young leads John Deere Classic by 2
SILVIS, Ill. — Cameron Young shot a 7-under-par 64 on Friday to take a two-stroke lead halfway through the John Deere Classic and put himself into position to erase an unwelcome distinction from his PGA Tour resume. Young was at 13-under 129 at TPC Deere Run, with Garrick Higgo (66),...
Pirates place Andrew McCutchen, Ke'Bryan Hayes on 10-day IL
The Pittsburgh Pirates made a series of roster moves Friday evening ahead of their series-opening game in Phoenix against the Arizona Diamondbacks, most notably of which was the placement of Andrew McCutchen and Ke’Bryan Hayes on the 10-day injured list.

With Griffey's help, MLB hosts HBCU All-Star Game hoping to create opportunity for Black players 
SEATTLE — Ken Griffey Jr. holds a plethora of titles, especially in this part of the country. Hall of Famer. Cultural icon. The guy who made baseball in the Pacific Northwest relevant. Arguably, the greatest of his generation. He even holds a title in association with MLB as a special...
After on-field cardiac arrest, Damar Hamlin expands stage, mission to promote heart health
The clear, distinctive voice that called out signals for Pitt’s defense late in the previous decade rang out Friday throughout historic Cupples Stadium. Damar Hamlin was back in the city he loves. There he was, clearly the man in charge at his free-of-charge youth football camp, signing dozens of autographs,...

Tim Benz: Pirates just looking for something positive in Arizona before All-Star break
These days, just about the only thing that the Pirates may be hitting at the right time is the All-Star break. After losing three of four in Los Angeles, manager Derek Shelton’s team is 6-17 in its last 23 games. So the Buccos are limping into their final series before...
Mark Madden: Don't blame Pat McAfee for ESPN's firings
Pat McAfee got $85 million to join ESPN. ESPN laid off about 20 on-air personalities shortly thereafter. Idiot’s logic dictates that if B follows A, A caused B. But that’s not what happened. Even since Dan Patrick and Keith Olbermann transcended ESPN and became some semblance of mainstream stars in...
Steelers WR Calvin Austin sees year on IR as ‘blessing’ as he preps for possible breakout Year 2
He’s never set foot on an NFL stadium field nor put on a Pittsburgh Steelers uniform for a game. He’s had only a handful of padded practices as a pro. But if you look at the Steelers’ official roster, Calvin Austin III is listed as a second-year player. His accrued...
Former Penguins express differing opinions on idea of team acquiring Erik Karlsson
Two former Penguins with Stanley Cup rings. Two different radio stations. Two different opinions on whether the Penguins should pay a high price for Erik Karlsson. The Penguins are believed to be in the trade market to acquire the Norris Trophy winner. Most reports are that the Pens and the...

Penguins forward prospect Tristan Broz is in a better place 
Tristan Broz was in a strange place Monday. A canoe. A human canoe. During the Pittsburgh Penguins development camp tournament — a three-on-three competition — Broz scored the winning goal in overtime of the championship game with a one-timer from the right circle and initiated a silly celebration in the...
