- The women’s softball season came to an end yesterday in the World Series semifinal at the hands of the dominant Florida Gators. The Dawgs made a valiant comeback effort with two outs in the seventh inning thanks to a Julia DePonte two-run homer, but Florida pitcher Delanie Gourley’s complete game, 10-strikeout performance was in the end just too much to overcome.

- The ongoing saga Lonzo Ball’s battle with Markelle Fultz for pole position in the upcoming NBA Draft has taken a new twist, thanks in part to the clownish antics of Lonzo’s father LaVar.
Per source, the #Lakers would pass on Lonzo Ball if #nbadraft was today. Team isn't convinced he's a star and remains concerned about LaVar.

- ESPN’s Jeff Goodman reports that Fultz is reportedly spending today meeting with the Boston Celtics, who own the first pick in the upcoming NBA Draft.
