OMAHA, Neb. – Gabe Gaeckle struck out a career-high 10 batters over a career-long six innings of relief work, but Arkansas (48-14) could not overcome an early deficit and was handed a 4-1 loss against LSU (49-15) Saturday night at Charles Schwab Field Omaha in its College World Series opener.
The Tigers jumped out to a 3-0 lead before Gaeckle entered in relief of starter Zach Root with the bases loaded in the second inning. The right-hander induced an inning-ending groundout and would go on to tally 10 strikeouts while allowing only one run on three hits in his superb relief effort.
Reese Robinett swatted a solo shot, his third home run of the season, to lead off the bottom of the sixth, cutting Arkansas’ deficit to 3-1. It was the Razorbacks’ only run of the night, however, as Tiger ace Kade Anderson fired seven innings of one-run ball with seven strikeouts.
Arkansas was limited to just four hits, including singles by Wehiwa Aloy, Cam Kozeal and Charles Davalan, and a pair of walks. Kozeal, a native of Omaha, Neb., led off the eighth with his single and advanced to second on a wild pitch, but the offense was unable to capitalize.
Up next, Arkansas will play Murray State (44-16) in an elimination game at 1 p.m. Monday, June 16, on ESPN.

State College Juneteenth celebration | Penn State, State College News

Despite the rain, the State College community gathered downtown Saturday for a block party celebrating Juneteenth with music, dance, cultural traditions and powerful reflections.
Juneteenth commemorates June 19, 1865, when the last enslaved African Americans in Galveston, Texas, learned they were free — more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation.
The theme was “Juneteenth: Our Freedom, Our Fight, Our Future,” which shaped the spirit of the day through performances, speakers and community engagement.
“Liberty without equality is unfinished,” Chiluvya Zulu, the diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging director for the Borough of State College, said. “Our future is being written right now by the leaders, the artists, the activists, the educators and the children in this very crowd.”
The celebration began at noon with a performance by the Marching Cobras, a high-energy band from New York that set the tone for the day.
Attendees were then welcomed by Charles Dumas, award-winning actor, director and Penn State professor emeritus, who encouraged the crowd to reflect on the importance of freedom and unity.
Following him, Jacinta Garcia, Native and Indigenous community coordinator at Penn State, delivered a moving Ganonyok Thanksgiving Address, acknowledging the land, creator, labor and all elements of creation.

A central feature of the celebration was the Juneteenth art exhibition curated by Dr. Grace Hampton, professor emerita of art at Penn State.
The gallery featured works that reflected themes of freedom, ancestry and collective memory.
“Art tells the stories that history books often forget,” Hampton said. “For me, curating this exhibit was about honoring the struggles and triumphs of our people and giving visual life to the spirit of Juneteenth.”
Hampton, who traveled to Ghana with a group that set up outdoor health clinics for over 18 years, sees art and service as intertwined forms of community healing.
“Juneteenth is about remembrance, but also about vision — about remembering how we have changed, evolved and how we are growing and learning every day,” she said. “It’s an honor to be here and to help in remembering how we resist and rebuild across generations.”
Also present was a sense of global connection, as Dr. Hampton highlighted her community’s annual mission to Ghana.
“Each year we choose a different region, set up a clinic, and try to serve as many people as possible,” she said. “It’s our way of continuing the legacy of service beyond borders, we like to come here and openly narrate those stories too.”
The celebration included performances by local poets and a music set by Gabby Samone, an emerging pop-R&B artist from Baltimore.
At 3:45 p.m., the crowd swayed to the soulful rhythms of Brencore MOTOWN, a band from Washington, D.C.

One vendor, Yasoda Mensah, traveled from Port Royal to participate in the event. Her business, Trifolia, sells natural products made with herbs and offers “a connection to the values of restoration and education.”
“We’re here to support the whole idea of Juneteenth,” Mensah said. “This celebration is proof that the spirit is still strong. The ancestors are still with us, and events like this show that their fight, their presence and their power haven’t disappeared — they live on in us.”
Attendees danced to performances by Urban Fusion, Izuba, Natalia Velazquez and Home Planet before concluding the celebration.
“I’ve never felt a community moment quite like this,” Eric Ian Farmer, one of the performers, said. “Rain or shine, we showed up for each other — and that’s what Juneteenth is about.”

The Oilers are looking for their fifth multi-goal comeback win of the postseason and the third of the Stanley Cup Final. If they pull it off, they would tie the NHL record for both marks, both of which are held by the 1987 Flyers.
A win tonight would also give the Oilers back-to-back multi-goal comeback victories. Only three teams in all of history have managed to pull off that feat: Kings in 2014, Flyers in 1987 and Red Wings in 1950.

BRIGHTON, England (AP) — James Milner will get another chance to become the player with the most appearances in the Premier League era.
The 39-year-old midfielder, who is 15 appearances short of Gareth Barry’s record (653), has signed a one-year contract extension with Brighton.
Milner sustained a serious knee injury that limited him to just four league games last season. He made his 638th appearance on the last day of the season, coming off the bench in a 4-1 victory over Tottenham.
“Last season he wasn’t able to help the team on the pitch as much as he would have liked, but around the squad his experience is invaluable, especially for the younger players,” Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler said in the team’s announcement Friday.
“He’s a great guy to have in our environment, who is always there for me and the team,” said Hurzeler, who is seven years younger than Milner. “I’m looking forward to working with him again.”
Milner, who will turn 40 in January, made his debut at age 16 for Leeds in November 2002.
He’s entering his record-extending 24th season overall and third at Brighton — he made 15 league appearances in the 2023-24 season — after eight years at Liverpool. Milner has also played for Manchester City, Aston Villa and Newcastle.
Milner made 61 international appearances for England from 2009-16.
