OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Blaze Brothers hit a go-ahead three-run homer in the ninth inning after an Oral Roberts pitching meltdown in the eighth, and the Golden Eagles continued their surprising postseason run with a 6-5 victory over TCU on Friday in the opening game of the College World Series.The Eagles, the lowest seed to make it to Omaha since 2012, had just gone down three runs before they jumped on Luke Savage for four in the ninth. Drew Stahl’s RBI single pulled ORU within 5-3, and then Brothers drove an 0-1 pitch out to left for his first homer since May 24.“It was like slow motion,” Brothers said. “Right when I felt it off the bat it felt pretty good, and I saw the left fielder kind of turn around, and I was, like, ‘Oh, that ball’s out. Lets go.’ I just wanted to get around the bases to celebrate with the boys.”Oral Roberts is in the CWS for the first time in 45 years, and except for the rocky eighth inning, the upstart challengers from the Summit League showed no sig...

BOSTON — The Yankees initially planned on having Harrison Bader in the lineup for their series opener against the Red Sox on Friday, but the two sides agreed to delay the centerfielder’s return.Bader’s first rehab game at Double-A Somerset went well from a health standpoint — he went 0-for-4 on Wednesday — per Aaron Boone.

Boone said that Bader will play the field in Somerset on Friday and Saturday or Sunday, depending on the weather.Bader would then rejoin the Yankees on their upcoming homestand. Boone expected him to be active Tuesday, but he didn’t rule out Bader returning sooner than that.“We...
