Trine: 2023-24 NCAA Division III Men's Basketball Champions

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (AP) — Cortez Garland scored 22 points and Nate Tucker scored 13 points and Trine University beat Hampden-Sydney 69-61 on Saturday to claim the NCAA Division III national championship.

It's the first men's college basketball championship for the Thunder (29-4), who entered the 64-team tournament ranked 13th in the country. Hampden-Sydney (31-3) ranked No. 1.

Aidan Smylie scored 12 points and Drew Moore added 10 for Trine of Angola, Indiana.

Adam Brazil was the lone player for Hampden-Sydney (Sydney, Virginia) to score in double-digits with 23 points but was 6-for-22 shooting.

The Tigers led 25-23 at the break before Garland tied it with a jump shot, provided a pair of foul shots for a two-point lead and then buried a 3-pointer to complete his 7-0 run in less than two minutes. The Thunder led the remainder.

Smylie sank a 3 with 5:47 left made it 50-41 in Trine's favor before Hampton-Sydney closed within three off a pair of foul shots by Ryan Clements, a layup by Davidson Hubbard and jump shot from Josiah Hardy.

But Cortez Garland countered with a three-point play, brother Fred Garland made a 3 and Cortez Garland made a jumper to make it 59-48 with 2:13 left and the Thunder cruised from there.

Trine went 6 for 6 from the foul line in the last 33 seconds. The Thunder went 22 for 25 from the foul line overall.

[ad_1] A routine fly ball turned into a nightmare for Seiya Suzuki and the Chicago Cubs at Truist Park — and with it a heartbreaking blow to their postseason hopes. The Cubs were an out away in the eighth inning from escaping with a one-run lead intact when left-hander Drew Smyly got Atlanta Braves catcher Sean Murphy to hit a ball to right field with runners on second and third base. What should have been an easy inning-ending fly out to Suzuki became a disaster. Suzuki whiffed on the would-be inning-ending catch, allowing two runs to score on his error. The Cubs went down in the ninth to seal a devastating 7-6 loss Tuesday night in a game they led 6-0 entering the bottom of the sixth. The lights contributed to misplaying the fly ball, Suzuki explained through interpreter Toy Matsushita. He saw the ball pretty well until the last second. “I honestly thought it went into my glove so it was just that split second where it blurred my vision,” Suzuki said of the lights at Truist Park. “… But ever since I was playing in Japan you do have to take that into consideration whenever you go out there in right field so if I do say that (the lights affected the catch) then that’s an excuse so I’m not going to say that.” The Milwaukee Brewers clinched the division title while the Cubs (82-75) try to hold onto the final National League wild-card position. They sit 1/2 game ahead of the Miami Marlins, who own the tiebreaker and play a doubleheader Wednesday against the New York Mets. “It happens to every single one of us,” Smyly said. “We’ve all made errors. All we can is turn the page and come back tomorrow. Seiya has been one of the best hitters in the league this whole month.” The Cubs had opportunities to add to their early lead, finishing the game 6-for-16 with runners in scoring position and left nine on base. Baseball can be cruel, and on Tuesday night, Suzuki was its unwitting target. A scorching performance in the return from his mental break benching Aug. 9 in New York produced a .357/.411/.694 slash line in a 42-game stretch. He added to it with a two-hit game in the loss, including a two-run triple. “Seiya has been carrying us for over a month and a half offensively, he’s put us on his back,” manager David Ross said after the game. “A lot of guys have been scuffling and he’s been the guy swinging the bat the best so we’re not going to highlight one mistake. There’s other areas — we could have scored more runs, get guys in from third less than two outs, we could have made some pitches earlier in the game but we didn’t. Got to pick our heads up and go back out tomorrow.” A beleaguered Cubs bullpen tried to grind out a win. But the injuries and usage, particularly since losing closer Adbert Alzolay to the injured list Sept. 10, have taken their toll. Ross tried to rely on José Cuas, Javier Assad and Smyly to get to Julian Merryweather for the ninth had the Cubs held onto their lead. Mark Leiter Jr. hasn’t been healthy enough to use, unavailable since his last appearance Sept. 20 against the Pittsburgh Pirates, though the Cubs hoped coming into the Braves series that he could be available beginning Wednesday. The rest of the ’pen is comprised of two pitchers who opened the season at Double A or lower (Daniel Palencia and Luke Little), one who began the season in the rotation (Hayden Wesneski) and an expected multi-inning weapon who has been plagued by inconsistency (Keegan Thompson). What had been a dominant night through five innings quickly unraveled in the sixth for starter Justin Steele, who entered the inning with a six-run lead. The Braves’ relentless offensive firepower is a big part of why they own the best record in baseball, and their deep lineup finally got to Steele with four of their first five hitters reaching base to begin the sixth. Kevin Pillar’s solo home run off Steele to open the frame marked the Braves’ 300th home run of the season, making them the third team in MLB history to hit that milestone, joining the 2019 Minnesota Twins and New York Yankees. Steele recovered to retire Ronald Acuña Jr., but Ross saw enough from Ozzie Albies (double), Austin Riley (walk) and Matt Olson (RBI double) to pull his ace. Steele paced around the mound as he watched Ross begin the trek from the dugout. Ross thought Steele ran out of gas in the sixth, citing how his slider wasn’t looking as sharp and the way his body was getting ahead of the ball, leading to misfires up and away. “Those situations are always tough because the competitor in me wants to stay out there,” Steele said. “But you also have to put trust in the staff and know what situations are coming about, who’s coming up in the order, who we have down in the bullpen, the matchups and stuff. So you have to put your trust in the staff to make the right decisions. “But me as a competitor, I’m focusing on the task at hand, I’m trying to get outs so the competitor in me wants to stay out there.” Ross took a very aggressive approach with his in-game decisions Tuesday, managing as if it was a postseason elimination game. He used Pete Crow-Armstrong to pinch run for Mike Tauchman in the fourth, and the rookie got caught in a rundown off third base to end the inning. He later called on Patrick Wisdom to pinch hit for Crow-Armstrong in the eighth, forcing Wisdom to play first base and shifting Cody Bellinger to center field. Miles Mastrobuoni, already with a three-hit game, put down a sacrifice bunt after Yan Gomes opened the eighth with a single; Mastrobuoni hit into a fielder’s choice. By the time the Braves got back into the game in the sixth against Steele, momentum had shifted. They didn’t capitalize on their early lead. Gomes’ infield hit — his 15th of the year and fifth-most on the team — followed by Mastrobuoni’s single produced back-to-back two-out RBIs put the Cubs ahead of the Braves 2-0 in the second. The Cubs added two more runs off Braves starter Bryce Elder when Suzuki hit a third-inning triple. Bellinger (RBI single in the fourth) and Ian Happ (RBI single in the sixth) completed the Cubs’ scoring. All season the Cubs have displayed the type of resiliency needed to go from 10 games under .500 to being in playoff contention the final week of the regular season. It was tested when they lost the 13-inning heartbreaker Sept. 16 in Arizona, the defining moment of the three-game sweep at Chase Field. Do the Cubs have it in them again to bounce back from a crushing loss? “We have five more,” Smyly said. “We need to dig deep.” ()

Cubs Rally Late To Beat Twins.

Cubs 6 Twins 2 W-Smyly (4-1) L-Jax (2-5)

The Minnesota Twins got back to their winning ways with a series win over the Padres this week. The Cubs came to town for a weekend series and a good pitching match-up ensued. The Twins got to Drew Smyly in the second as Kyle Farmer reached on an error by Christopher Morel. Willi Castro doubled and Michael Taylor reached on a fielder’s choice that scored Kyle Farmer. Christian Vazquez hit a sac fly to center and the Twins led by two after two innings of play. The Cubs finally figured out Sonny Gray in the fourth. Dansby Swanson led-off with a walk and Ian Happ doubled. Seiya Suzuki hit a sac fly to left and Chicago was within a run. The two starters sailed through six innings and it was up to the bullpens tonight. Patrick Wisdom started a seventh inning rally with a single to right and Matt Mervis doubled him home. Trey Mancini singled and Yan Gomes hit a run-scoring single to right to put the Cubs up 3-2. The Cubs got back to work in the eighth as Yan Gomes walked and Christopher Morel crushed a Jorge Alcala slider out to right for a two-run homer. Dansby Swanson walked and reached third on a single. Cody Bellinger hit a sacrifice fly to left and Chicago had a four-run lead heading into the final inning of play. Mark Leiter had a 1-2-3 ninth and the Cubs took the series opener from the Twins tonight. 

-Final Thoughts- Sonny Gray threw a nice game, but his pitch count got up there in a hurry. He lasted 5 1/3 innings and allowed a run on four hits with nine strikeouts. Jovani Moran got out of the sixth, Griffin Jax gave up two runs in the seventh, and Jorge Alcala allowed two in 1 1/3 innings. Dereck Rodriguez gave up a run in 2/3 of an inning. The Twins scattered four hits and went 0-for-4 with runners in scoring position. They left four men on base. Tomorrow, Hayden Wesneski faces Joe Ryan in Game 2 from Minneapolis.
