Pios' rally falls short against Newark, NYCBL scores
ELMIRA, N,Y, (WETM) – The Elmira Pioneers came up just short of a walk-off win. The Pios rallied back throughout Saturday night's game against Newark, but ultimately fell 6-5. The Pilots stormed out of the gates, building on their 1st inning tally with a 3-run third. Elmira would finally answer in the 4th, as Brandon Doubek knocked Ty Martineau across for an RBI-single. Advertisement In the 5th, the Pioneers would match 2 more Newark runs, on a slick steal from John Simmons and an RBI sacrifice fly by Brendan Hammer. Over the next 3 frames, Elmira continued to chip away, scoring on a 6th inning walk, and an 8th inning base hit by Carl Wagner. A stellar 2-hit, 3 inning outing by Casey Julkowski, set the Pios up with a shot win in walk-off fashion. In the bottom of the 9th, Aidan Grabowski laced a 2 out double, paired with walks from Martineau and T.J. Gramesty. With the bases loaded, Tanner Carranza sent a grounder near the gap, but the Pilots would corral it to seal the victory. Elmira will look to rebound on the road, as they head to Geneva on Sunday. The Pioneers will battle the Red Wings with 1st pitch slated for 5:30 p.m. In the NYCBL, the Horseheads Hitmen and Hornell Steamers each fell on the road.

2025 NBA Draft: Ranking the top wing prospects, including Duke's Kon Knueppel
Let's run down the top prospects in the 2025 NBA Draft by position. Here are the best wings in the class. You can also find the entire Big Board, plus a full two-round mock draft and scouting reports for every single prospect, in the 2025 NBA Draft Guide. Height: 6-5 • Weight: 219 • Class: Freshman • Age: 19.9 Advertisement Knueppel brings more than just a sharpshooter's stroke thanks to his brainy pick-and-roll playmaking and crafty scoring feel. He's got a slick midrange bag and strength scoring inside, but to become a player that takes over games he'll need to overcome his average athleticism. (Grant Thomas/Yahoo Sports Illustration) Height: 6-4 • Weight: 193 • Class: Freshman • Age: 19.9 Edgecombe is an explosive, high-motor wing who flies out of nowhere for poster dunks and chase-down blocks. He pairs his elite athleticism with a knockdown spot-up jumper and fearless slashing, though he needs to improve his shot creation to become more of a primary creator. Height: 6-6 • Weight: 213 • Class: Senior • Age: 21.8 Advertisement Coward has gone from a Division III player to a potential first-round pick in just a few years behind his rapid development into a prospect with a valued 3-and-D skill-set. But he brings even higher upside thanks to his passing vision. Height: 6-7 • Weight: 215 • Class: Freshman • Age: 19.7 McNeeley is a sharpshooting wing with superb instincts moving without the ball, and the touch to splash from deep ranges. Though he doesn't project as a primary shot creator, his feel as a connective passer gives him the skill to fit into any type of offense. Height: 6-6 • Weight: 200 • Class: Freshman • Age: 19.8 Advertisement Powell has a chiseled frame that he uses to barrel into defenders at the rim and to contain opponents when he's on defense. He's a switch-everything defender who plays with a high motor, and if his spot-up jumper translates he checks all the boxes to be a 3-and-D role player at a minimum. You can find the entire Big Board, plus a full two-round mock draft and scouting reports for every single prospect, in the 2025 NBA Draft Guide.

Brother of Michael Greller, Spieth's caddie, qualifies for U.S. Senior Open Championship
Caddie Michael Greller has had some memorable moments at USGA championships, including being on the bag of Jordan Spieth when he won the U.S. Open a decade ago at Chambers Bay, not far from his home in Washington. But to hear Greller tell it, seeing his older brother, Tom, who qualified the hard way for this week's 45th U.S. Senior Open Championship at The Broadmoor's East Course in Colorado Springs, Colo., takes the cake. Advertisement 'I'm calling it the greatest [sports] accomplishment in the Greller family,' Michael, whose younger sister, Katie, was an All-American Division III basketball player at George Fox University in Oregon, told the USGA's David Shefter. 'I'm just watching golf. I don't hit any of the shots.' Tom Greller, brother of Jordan Spieth's caddie Michael Greller, qualified for the U.S. Senior Open. For more than 20 years, Tom, 53, had been trying to play his way into USGA championships and he finally did so, becoming one of 39 players to make it through local and final qualifying. He's also one of 44 first-time U.S. Senior Open competitors in pursuit of the Francis D. Ouimet Memorial Trophy Tom survived the first 18-hole qualifier on April 7 at Arrowhead Golf Club, in Molalla, Ore., in a 4-for-3 playoff that included a bogey on the first playoff hole. Five weeks later, before the results were even official that Tom had booked his ticket in windy conditions at Bend (Ore.) Golf Club, Michael had booked an AirBnB for the family to attend. But he won't be on the bag, even though Spieth is skipping this week's Tour stop in Detroit. Advertisement That honor belongs to Tom's 20-year-old son, Ray, a rising sophomore on the Northwestern College (Orange City, Iowa) men's golf team, who will ably serve as caddie. Tom's other son, 17-year-old Luke, will also make the trek, along with wife, Tabitha. But little brother already has lent a hand in arranging a practice round alongside Hall of Famers Ernie Els and Bernhard Langer on Monday afternoon and is helping strategize how to play The Broadmoor's par-70 East Course that stretches to 7,247 yards but won't play too long at 6,200-foot-plus altitude. You can read more about Tom Greller's journey to his first USGA championship, here, including this nugget: When he qualified for the Senior Open, Michael was caddying for Spieth during a practice round at the Charles Schwab Challenge in Fort Worth, Texas, alongside Rickie Fowler. Spieth and Fowler sent video messages, the latter jokingly saying 'we'll see you at Shinnecock Hills next year.' That, of course, was a playful reference to the fact that the U.S. Senior Open champion receives an exemption into the following year's U.S. Open. Tom likely hasn't dreamed that big but if he pulled off being the Cinderella Story out of nowhere, the question would be: Who does Michael caddie for at Shinnecock – his boss or his big brother?
