Allan Winans Makes His MLB Debut with the New York Yankees

Allan Winans is set to step onto the hallowed ground of Yankee Stadium, marking a significant milestone in his baseball journey. The 29-year-old right-handed pitcher is making his Major League Baseball debut for the New York Yankees against the Cincinnati Reds, a moment that encapsulates years of hard work, perseverance, and resilience.

A Stellar Minor League Performance

Winans’ ascent to the big leagues has been nothing short of remarkable, particularly during his time with the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, where he has dominated the competition. With an impressive 7-0 record and a minuscule 0.90 ERA over nine starts, he has showcased his ability to control games and keep hitters at bay. Striking out 59 batters in just 50 innings, Winans’ performance has been pivotal for the RailRiders, and it’s clear he is ready for the challenge that awaits him in the majors.

A Journey Through the Ranks

The path to this moment has been a long one for Winans, who was originally selected in the 17th round of the MLB draft by the New York Mets out of Campbell University. His collegiate career with the Camels laid a strong foundation, but it was his dedication and tenacity in the minor leagues that truly honed his skills. Over seven seasons, Winans has maintained a commendable 2.73 ERA, highlighting his consistency and growth as a pitcher.

Before making his mark at Campbell, Winans began his academic and athletic journey at Bakersfield College in his hometown of Bakersfield, California. This local connection has undoubtedly fueled his passion for the game and his desire to succeed at the highest level.

The Call-Up and Its Significance

Winans’ call-up to the Yankees comes at a crucial time, with Ryan Yarbrough being placed on the 15-day injured list. This opportunity not only signifies a new chapter for Winans but also reflects the Yankees’ commitment to investing in homegrown talent. With the bright lights of Yankee Stadium shining down, he will have the chance to prove himself on one of baseball’s biggest stages.

Looking Ahead

As Winans prepares to take the mound, he carries with him the hopes of fans and the legacy of those who have worn the Yankees uniform before him. His journey from Campbell University to the pinnacle of baseball serves as a testament to the power of perseverance and the importance of seizing opportunities.

In this moment, Winans stands not just as a player but as an embodiment of determination, ready to carve out his own legacy in the storied history of the New York Yankees. The coming days will reveal how this talented pitcher adapts to the challenges of the major leagues, but one thing is certain: his journey is just beginning, and the baseball world will be watching closely.

LSU sweeps Coastal Carolina in CWS finals for 2nd national title in 3 years

OMAHA, Neb. — LSU knocked previously unbeaten Coastal Carolina ace Jacob Morrison out of the game with a four-run fourth inning and the Tigers won their second national championship in three years Sunday with a 5-3 victory in the College World Series finals.

OMAHA, Neb. — LSU knocked previously unbeaten Coastal Carolina ace Jacob Morrison out of the game with a four-run fourth inning and the Tigers won their second national championship in three years Sunday with a 5-3 victory in the College World Series finals.

The Tigers (53-15) completed a two-game sweep of the Chanticleers (56-13), who entered the finals on a 26-game win streak and on Sunday saw coach Kevin Schnall and first base coach Matt Schilling ejected in the bottom of the first inning.

LSU gave the Southeastern Conference its sixth straight national title in baseball and 11th in 16 years. It was LSU’s eighth, all since 1991 and second most all-time behind USC’s 12.

Tigers coach Jay Johnson became the first Division I coach to win two titles in his first four years at a school. No other coach had accomplished that feat in fewer than eight seasons.

“Our whole motto for the year was ‘Tough And Together,’ and that’s what they did from Aug. 26 until now,” Johnson said in a postgame television interview. “It’s only 12 returning players. That collection of talent became a team and a family.”

Coastal Carolina won the national title in 2016 and was trying to become the first team since 1962 (Michigan) and the fifth all-time to win the championship in its first two CWS appearances.

With five-time champion coach Skip Bertman watching from the stands, LSU tied it at 1 in the third on Ethan Frey’s RBI double and went up 5-1 in the fourth on two-run singles by Chris Stanfield and Derek Curiel.

Coastal Carolina pulled within 5-3 in the seventh against LSU starter Anthony Eyanson when No. 9 batter Wells Sykes hit his fourth homer of the season.

That brought on Chase Shores for his fourth appearance of the CWS. The 6-foot-8 right-hander touched 100 mph with his fastball while retiring the first five batters he faced before Dean Mihos, who homered in the second, singled through the right side leading off the ninth.

With Tigers fans on their feet and chanting “L-S-U, L-S-U,” Shores struck out Ty Dooley and got Sykes to ground into a game-ending double play. The Tigers’ dugout emptied and the celebratory dogpile behind the mound ensued. The 87-year-old Bertman came onto the field in a wheelchair and walked with assistance to have pictures taken with coaches and players.

The Chanticleers had won 15 straight when Morrison (12-1) started. Morrison’s 3 2/3 innings marked his shortest start of the season and the five runs against him were the most he has allowed.

LSU entered having won 13 games in a row in which one of its top two pitchers — Kade Anderson and Eyanson — started.

Anderson was selected the Most Outstanding Player of the CWS after allowing one run and six hits and striking out 17 in 16 innings over two starts in Omaha.

Anderson threw a three-hit shutout in LSU’s 1-0 win in Game 1 of the finals, and Eyanson (12-2) was mostly sharp over his 6 1/3 innings. The three runs against him came on seven hits and a walk. He struck out nine.

Schnall, in his first year as head coach after taking over for the retired Gary Gilmore, had not been ejected this season before Sunday. After the game, he said his ejection wasn’t justified and he was wrongly accused of bumping an umpire.

Walker Mitchell was at bat with two outs and Sebastian Alexander had just stolen second base when Schnall went to the top steps of the dugout, gestured at plate umpire Angel Campos with three fingers and began shouting at him.

The NCAA said Schnall was arguing balls and strikes, was given a warning and thrown out when he did not leave immediately. Instead, Schnall went onto the field to continue arguing.

When Schnall was arguing with Campos, one of the base umpires ran toward the confrontation and fell on his back.

“If you guys watch the video, there was a guy who came in extremely aggressively, tripped over Campos’ foot, embarrassed in front of 25,000, and goes ‘two-game suspension’ and says ‘bumping the umpire,’ Schnall said. ”There was no bump. I shouldn’t be held accountable for a grown man’s athleticism. Now it’s excessive because I was trying to say I didn’t bump him.

“It is what it is. If that warranted an ejection, there would be a lot of ejections. As umpires, it’s your job to manage the game with some poise and calmness and a little bit of tolerance.”

A spokesman said the NCAA stands by its original statement on the incident when asked for comment on Schnall’s remarks about bumping an umpire.

The NCAA in its initial statement on the incident said Schnall and Schilling engaged in “prolonged arguing,” which is to result in a two-game suspension. Schnall would miss the first two games of the 2026 season.

Schilling was thrown out for the comments he made while arguing, the NCAA said. If an assistant is ejected, he automatically also is suspended for one game. Schilling also got an additional two-game suspension under the “prolonged arguing” rule, the NCAA said. That means he will miss the first three games next year.

Associate head coach Chad Oxendine took over Schnall’s duties.

Schnall said he couldn’t hear Campos’ initial warning when he was arguing balls and strikes from the dugout.

“As a head coach, it’s your right to get an explanation for why we got warned,” Schnall said. “I’m 48 years old and I shouldn’t get shooed by another grown man. When I came out, I got told it was a warning issued for arguing balls and strikes, and I said it was because you missed three. At that point, ejected. If that warrants an ejection, I’m the first one to stand here like a man and apologize.”

That wasn’t going to happen.

“I’m not sorry for what happened,” he said. “I’m sorry for this being over. I’m sorry for how it ended.”

Utah Grizzlies are now up for sale — and could be relocated

WEST VALLEY CITY — The Utah Grizzlies are now on the market and could be on the move, a year after Utah secured a National Hockey League franchise.

In an open letter to fans, the Grizzlies announced Sunday evening they’ve started the “formal process to explore a potential sale of the team” and that it could “ultimately lead to the relocation” of the ECHL franchise.

“This step comes with deep reflection and heartfelt appreciation for a community that has embraced the Grizzlies for nearly three decades,” the team wrote. “From championship runs and Olympic legacy to countless unforgettable nights at the Maverik Center, the Grizzlies have been proud to call Utah home.”

No sales or relocation decisions have been finalized yet, but the franchise is no stranger to moving.

The Grizzlies first existed as an AHL franchise that relocated from Denver to Salt Lake City in 1995 after Denver landed the Quebec Nordiques NHL team, which became the Colorado Avalanche, a year after the Grizzlies formed. The team ultimately relocated again to Ohio in 2005, where it remains today as the Cleveland Monsters.

Utah gained an ECHL franchise in 2005, though. What was first the Nashville South Stars in 1981, serving as the Central Hockey League affiliate for the Minnesota North Stars, ended up in Utah after a series of relocations. It’s currently an ECHL affiliate of the Avalanche.

However, longtime owner Dave Elmore died in 2023, and his wife and co-owner, Donna Tuttle, has been in “declining health,” the team explained in its letter. As such, the family has struggled to “remain actively involved in team operations,” it added.

Sunday’s announcement also comes a month after the death of the team’s president and CEO, Kevin Bruder.

“This is an emotional and difficult moment for our family and our organization,” Elmore Sports Group said in a statement. “Utah has been more than a home — it has been part of our identity. But ensuring the Grizzlies have the opportunity to thrive in the future may require new ownership and, potentially, a new home.”

Any potential relocation is subject to approval from the ECHL. The team said it plans to “continue conversations” with the league and local leaders so they stay in the loop.

The team will still have at least one more season in the Maverik Center, with its 2025-26 season starting on Oct. 17 at the Greenville Swamp Rabbits before its Oct. 24 home opener against Idaho.

The announcement also comes after Utah joined the NHL ranks for the first time ever last year. Ryan and Ashley Smith acquired the Arizona Coyotes in a deal that relocated the franchise to Utah. The team officially became the Mammoth last month.

The Professional Women’s Hockey League released its 2025 Draft eligibility list on May 15. Included on the list are Rory Guilday ’25, Lily Delianedis ’25 and Katie Chan ’25, three recent Cornell graduates who this winter helped lead the Red to its first ECAC title since 2014 and the Frozen Four. The draft — which will begin at 7 p.m. on June 24 and last six rounds — is the PWHL’s second entry draft and will be the first to include Vancouver and Seattle, the league’s first expansion teams. 

Rory Guilday, Defender

Stats

2024-2025: five goals, four assists

Collegiately: 19 goals, 33 assists

Accolades: ECAC Hockey All-Rookie Team; US College Hockey Online All-Rookie Team; All Ivy-League second team; Two-time First Team All-Ivy; Third Team All-ECAC Hockey.

Like Izzy Daniel ’24, Cornell’s lone pick in last year’s PWHL entry draft, Guilday is projected to be taken at the end of the first round or the start of the second. However, Daniel ended up sliding to pick No. 18 over concerns around her smaller stature and lack of national team experience. Guilday, meanwhile, checks both of those boxes. At 5’11, Guilday is able to dominate forwards with her physical playstyle, a skill that will translate well in the PWHL. Plus, her 38 games with Team USA have given her plenty of experience competing with the best players in the world. 

Guilday’s only weakness might be her lack of offensive output compared to other top defensive prospects, such as Clarkson graduates Haley Winn and Nicole Gosling. And yet, her powerful slap shot should be enough to generate offense at the next level. A dominant blueliner on one of the best defenses in the nation, Guilday easily projects as a top pick in this year’s draft and a rotation constant in the PWHL.

Best Fits: Ottawa or Boston (lost key defenders in the PWHL expansion draft); Vancouver (Vancouver General Manager Cara Gardner Morey was previously the head coach at Princeton, which is in the ECAC with Cornell, so she should have the best scouting report on Guilday). 

The Hockey News Mock Draft: Round 1, Pick 5 Ottawa Charge

Rinksiders.com Mock Draft: Round 1, Pick 5 Ottawa Charge

Eli’s Projection: Round 1, Pick 5 Ottawa Charge

Lily Delianedis, Forward

Stats

2024-2025: 12 goals, 10 assists

Collegiately: 53 goals, 57 assists

Accolades: ECAC Hockey Rookie of the Year; ECAC Hockey All-Rookie Team; Second Team All-Ivy.

A key cog in Cornell’s offensive machine all four of her years on East Hill, Delianedis never failed to post double digit goals and assists with her lowest point total — a still impressive 22 — coming during her senior season. While Delianedis isn’t afraid to work from behind the goal on offense, this year she scored most of her goals with her wrist shot around the circles or in the high slot. Delianedis is also a hard worker on the defensive end of the ice, a trait which should boost her draft stock in a league where all-around ability is prioritized. 

While Delianedis’ lack of goal scoring (especially in her senior season) would seemingly limit her draft upside, analytically she is among the best forwards in the draft class. Delianedis ranks sixth among PWHL draft declared forwards in Corsi — an advanced stat that measures the difference in shot attempts for or against a player’s team when they are on the ice. While Delianedis projects as a mid to late round pick, it would not be a big surprise if a team decides to draft the Minnesotan in an earlier round after falling in love with her advanced analytics and well-rounded play style. 

Best Fits: Tough to determine, but possible candidates include Boston (needs forward depth); New York (also needs forward depth); Minnesota (hometown pick); Vancouver (General manager was head coach at Princeton).

The Hockey News Mock Draft: Not drafted in the first two rounds

The Hockey News PWHL Draft Player Rankings: 36 

Rinksiders.com Mock Draft: Not drafted in first three rounds, first player listed in “Just Missed”

Eli’s Projection: Likely the fourth or fifth round. Round 4, Pick 2 Boston Fleet

Katie Chan, Forward

Stats (2021-2023 at Colgate, 2023-2025 at Cornell)

2024-2025: 9 goals, 10 assists

Collegiately: 34 goals, 42 assists

A scrappy, hardworking forward who featured on Cornell’s most dangerous line during her senior season, Chan endeared herself to the Lynah Faithful despite spending just two years on East Hill after transferring from Colgate. The British Columbian’s greatest strength is her effort — at any given moment Chan is usually found pestering an opposition’s defenders while forechecking or trying to shovel the puck into the net from around the crease any way she can. 

Like Delianedis, the analytics think Chan is underrated. She ranks in the top-20 nationally in Corsi, despite failing to make an All-Ivy team. The biggest issue for Chan when it comes to the PWHL is her size and playstyle. At 5’2, Chan has spent her entire collegiate career successfully playing as an undersized forward. Still, her small frame and the PWHL’s physical nature makes her a risky pick. Similarly, her gritty style of play could have trouble adapting to the highly skilled professional level. So while Chan helped anchor Cornell’s offense, it’s not likely she will be drafted come Tuesday. 

The Hockey News PWHL Draft Player Rankings: 82

Eli’s prediction: Undrafted, offered training camp invite as an Undrafted Free Agent

A final note: The Sun’s 2024 Female Athlete of the Year — Izzy Daniel ’24 — was selected with the eighth pick of the PWHL expansion draft last week by Vancouver. The selection of the 2024 Patty Kazmaier award winner was a bit of a surprise, but makes sense considering that Vancouver General Manager Cara Gardner Morey was previously the head coach at Princeton. Daniel scored two goals and registered eight assists in eight games against the Tigers while playing for Cornell.  

The second PWHL entry draft will last six rounds and begin on June 24 at 7 p.m. It can be streamed live for free on the league’s YouTube channel or on The Sports Network in Canada.

Logan Hensler, already a world junior gold medalist, is top-ranked Minnesotan for the NHL draft

Logan Hensler was 5 years old when his dad, Joe, built their first backyard rink.

Joe Hensler never played hockey growing up in Appleton, Wis.; he was into football, basketball and track. But after he moved to Minnesota in 2000, he began dating his future wife Alicia, and she took Joe to a Wild game with her parents’ season tickets.

Years later, at a family gathering during the holidays, Joe noticed the outdoor rink Logan’s uncle and cousins had and thought, “That’s pretty cool. I wonder if I can do that.”

He could, and he did — for 13 years and counting.

“[Logan] wanted to be out there all the time, and he wanted somebody to be out there with him,” Joe Hensler recalled. “So, it was me, and that’s where I learned a lot in terms of skating and shooting pucks and such that he taught me from what he learned.

“Very Minnesota thing to do, right, to be on the backyard rink and the lights on and the kind of peaceful nights in winter. I really enjoyed that a lot.”

Logan stuck with hockey and not just at home in Woodbury.

The defenseman played for the Minnesota Blades and was a freshman at Hill-Murray before leaving for USA Hockey’s National Team Development Program in Michigan. Next season, he will be a sophomore at the University of Wisconsin, and the NHL is a possibility: Logan Hensler, 18, is projected to be picked in the first round of the draft on Friday in Los Angeles.
