Southern Miss falls to Tennessee 5-0, ending NCAA Tournament run
SUMMARY: The Tennessee Volunteers secured a spot in the 2023 NCAA College World Series after defeating Southern Miss in a 5-0 victory. Tennessee starter Drew Beam put in a strong performance with seven strikeouts, while the Volunteers' offense was led by key hits from Griffin Merritt and Maui Ahuna. Despite a solid effort by Southern Miss and a super regional achievement for a second consecutive year, the team's season came to an end with this loss. This game also marked the end of Southern Miss head coach Scott Berry's 14-year tenure with the team, during which he became the program's winningest coach.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. lands on Mississippi ballot as part of ‘We The People’ party
SUMMARY: Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has established the “We The People” party in Mississippi to get on the presidential ballot with fewer signatures than required for an independent candidate. The Mississippi Secretary of State approved the paperwork, with Kennedy and Nicole Shanahan set to be nominated. The party aims to facilitate Kennedy's ballot access while avoiding high signature costs. The Kennedy-Shanahan ticket is now on the ballot in nine states and has enough signatures for 14 more. Despite this unconventional approach and limited campaign visibility, Kennedy aims to appear on every state ballot for the November 5th general election.
