STARKVILLE — Mississippi State’s baseball team is head-

ed back to Omaha, Nebraska.
For the second time in as many years, MSU (51-13) will play

in top animation jobs

In the past 12 years, only 3 percent
of animated film directors were women
and only one was a woman of color
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES —
Women make up roughly
half of all executives in
animation, but a study re-
leased Monday says the
numbers fall significantly
when it comes to female
directors and other leader-
ship roles in the industry.
The study by the USC
Annenberg Inclusion Initia-
tive and the nonprofit advo-
cacy group Women in Ani-
mation said that in the past
12 years, only 3 percent of
animated film directors
were women and only one,
“Kung Fu Panda 2” director
Jennifer Yuh Nelson, was a
woman of color.
In some areas, like pro-
ducing, animation has bet-
ter female representation
than live-action films. The
study found that women
made up 37 percent of pro-
ducers on the 120 animated
films surveyed going back
to 2007. On live-action fea-
tures, women make up
about 15 percent of produc-
ers.
“The proportion of wom-
en in this leadership role in
animation, and the progress

es where the industry is

and affecting change,” said
initiative director Stacy L.
Smith in a statement.
Women also made up
13 percent of directors of
popular animated television
shows from 2018, the only
year covered by the study.
But women of color were
underrepresented in all ar-
eas.
Women are also out-
numbered in below-the-line
roles like head of story,
lead animators and art di-
rectors, the study found.
And in front of the cam-
era, only 20 of the top 120
animated features across
the past 12 years had a fe-
male lead or co-lead. Of
those, three, “Moana,” “The
Princess and the Frog,” and
“Smurfs: The Lost Village,”

Buttigieg’s high college debt

draws attention to the issue
43 million Americans have
federal student loan debt
The Associated Press
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Democrat-
ic presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg
knows firsthand the burden of six-figure
student loan debt. He and his husband,
Chasten, are far from alone, though, and
their personal college indebtedness is
helping to keep the issue on the national
stage.
With loans totaling more than $130,000,
they are among the 43 million people in
the United States who owe federal student
loan debt.
The debtors are so numerous and the

the crisis. Their ideas include wiping away
of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks
debt, lowering interest rates, expanding
programs that tie repayment terms to in-
come and making college free or debt-free.
Student loan debt is often discussed as
an issue that mostly affects millennials,
but it cuts across age groups. Federal sta-
tistics show that about 7.8 million people
age 50 and older owe a combined $291.9
billion in student loans. People age 35 to
49, a group that covers older millennials
such as Buttigieg as well as Generation
X, owe $548.4 billion. That group includes
more than 14 million people.
One of the most detailed plans to ad-
dress the problem has come from Sen.
Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, who
says she would entirely erase student debt
for 75 percent of borrowers while making
public colleges and universities free. Her
plan would be paid for by a tax on “ul-
tra-millionaires,” those households with a
net worth of $50 million or more. Warren
wants to cancel $50,000 in student loan
debt for each borrower with a household
income under $100,000 and would cancel
smaller amounts for those who earn more.

Starkville cameras draw attention, concerns

City gathering
info to consider
dimming flashing
lights
By Alex Holloway
aholloway@cdispatch.com
Social media push-
back has prompted city
leaders to respond to con-
cerns about the rollout of
a new phase of cameras in
Starkville.
The cameras, which
have been in place for a
few weeks, are in grey
enclosures with the
Starkville Police Depart-
ment logo and flashing
red and blue lights on the
sides.
Since the cameras’
installation in May, resi-
dents have expressed var-
ious concerns about them
online, from distracting
lights to worries about
the city using facial-rec-
ognition software.
City Technology Di-
rector Joel Clements said
the cameras aren’t active-
ly monitored — the city
lacks the manpower for
such use — and are acti-
vated by motion. He said
they’re used to review
footage in the event of an
incident if officials know
the general time frame,
and don’t use any sort of
facial-recognition soft-
ware.
Starkville has installed security cameras around the
city, such as this one at the intersection of Highway 12
and Montgomery Street. The city has fielded com-
plaints about the cameras’ flashing lights and concerns
about privacy.
Mayor Lynn Spruill,
who responded to com-
plaints about the camer-
as when she spoke at the
Starkville Rotary Club on
Monday and at Tuesday’s
board of aldermen meet-
ing, also said they are pri-
marily used for post-inci-
dent analysis. However,
she added that they could
be used more actively
during major events.
“During an event, it is a
little bit different because
you have an opportunity
to see where hot spots
may be happening,” she
said. “You may have more
active monitoring during
Alex Holloway/Dispatch Staff
something like Bulldog
Bash or the Cotton Dis-
trict Arts Festival.”
While residents have
expressed concerns
about the cameras being
used for ticketing, Spruill
said the state doesn’t al-
low such uses. She said
the Legislature consid-
ered it some years ago, as
the use was gaining popu-
larity in other states, but
opted against it.
The city has installed
10 camera enclosures as
part of the first phase of
the new camera system
rollout. Each enclosure
includes four cameras
that can be pointed in
different directions. The
city has put the cameras
at Highway 389 and Gar-
rard Road; Long Street
and Westside Drive;
Highway 182 and Stark
Road; Lampkin Street
and Russell Street; Lum-
mus Drive and Jarnigan
Street; Lummus Drive
and Colonel Muldrow
Avenue; Russell Street
and Mill Street; Highway
12 and South Montgom-
ery Street; South Mont-
gomery Street and Lynn
Lane; Louisville Street
and Academy Road; and
Industrial Park Road and
Lynn Lane.
Flashing lights
Since the cameras’ in-
stallation, complaints on
social media have shift-
ed. Though worries about
things such as facial rec-
ognition have faded, com-
plaints about the lights,
which several residents
have called distracting,
have remained.
One Facebook user,
Andy Fultz, commented
on a Starkville Police De-
partment press release
that garnered dozens of
responses, “I’m glad to
see I’m not the only one
who thinks these flash-
ing lights are very dis-
tracting and very likely
to cause problems. The
flashing lights are a little
much.”
Clements Spruill
Another user with
the username “Amylyn
Sugar Sweets” said she’s
fine with the cameras
themselves but found the
lights — their flashing in
particular — distracting.
“Maybe just a strong
blue light,” she said. “Like
the emergency areas on
campus. That’s just my
opinion as a five year resi-
dent of Starkville.”
Clements said the
lights can be dimmed.
However, he said the city
is still taking feedback
to determine which lo-
cations might have their
lights dimmed.
“We can dim them,”
Clements said. “It’s not as
easy as flipping a switch,
though I wish it were.
They’ve only been up for
a couple of weeks so we’re
gathering comments and
info. We’re going to be
looking at dimming some
of those in certain loca-
tions.
“It requires getting a
bucket truck up there and
doing a little rewiring,”
he added. “So if wonder
why we don’t just hop up
there and do it or do it re-
motely, it’s a little more
involved than that. We
didn’t want to be hasty in
our decision.”
Clements added that
the lights, in making the
cameras visible, are in-
tended to act as a deter-
rent.
Spruill said she thinks
people will adjust to the
flashing lights but said
the city will look at some
locations — especially
any that may be close to
a residence.
She added that the
flashing lights make the
cameras much easier
to see, compared to the
cameras Starkville has
previously used.
“We’ve had cameras
downtown that have been
there for years,” Spruill
said. “These are better in
the sense that you know
where they are — as op-
posed to something that’s
hidden away and you
don’t know where it is and
it’s kind of like ‘gotcha!’”
Starkville Police De-
partment Public Infor-
mation Officer Brandon
Lovelady said the de-
partment would decline
to comment, referring
questions instead to Cle-
ments.

College World Series

Continued from Page 1A
The Bulldogs’ win gave
the hosts a series sweep
after taking down the Car-
dinal 6-2 on Saturday.
Junior catcher Dustin
Skelton led the offensive
charge with a 2-for-4,
three-RBI night. Skelton’s
three-run triple off the top
of the right-center field
wall in the third inning
broke a 1-1 tie and put
MSU ahead for good.
Senior outfielder Elijah
MacNamee notched a sto-
rybook ending to his final
game at Dudy Noble with
a three-run, ninth-inning
home run.
On the mound, senior
starter Peyton Plumlee
threw 6 2/3 innings, al-
lowing just one run on
two-hits. Plumlee’s six
strikeouts were his sec-
ond-highest single-game
total of the season.
Seniors Jared Liebelt
and Cole Gordon closed
things out in relief of
Plumlee, combining for 2
1/3 innings of two-hit ball.
The victory gives MSU
its 11th ever CWS appear-
ance and third since 2013.
The Bulldogs will face,
in their Omaha opener,
the winner of today’s deci-
sive Game 3 of the Chapel
Hill Super Regional be-
tween No. 14 seed North
Carolina (46-18) and Au-
burn (37-26).
Joining MSU in its half
of the bracket will also be
No. 7 seed Louisville and
No. 2 seed Vanderbilt. The
Commodores won two
straight to stave off elim-
ination against Duke in
super regional play, while
Louisville defeated East
Carolina in two games.
CWS game times have
yet to be announced.

of the graphic video was followed by violent pro-
tests where scores of people were injured), “Why
can’t we just all get along?” Whether you are rich
or poor, Jew, Catholic, Muslim, atheist or other,
Democrat or Republican, white or black, gay or
straight, young or old, conservative or liberal, rural
or urban, or whatever you are, the fact is we are
all in this world together and should be working
together to enhance the lives of everyone. To me
it looks like this is a critical time in our country
because division has taken over. United we stand
— divided we fall.

Today in History
Today is Monday, June 10, the 161st day of 2019.
There are 204 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History:

On June 10, 1967, six days of war in the Mideast
involving Israel, Syria, Egypt, Jordan and Iraq CAMPAIGN 2020
ended as Israel and Syria accepted a United Na-
tions-mediated cease-fire.

On this date:
In 1610, Englishman Lord De La Warr arrived
at the Jamestown settlement to take charge of the
Virginia Colony.
In 1692, the first execution resulting from the
Salem witch trials in Massachusetts took place as
Bridget Bishop was hanged.
In 1935, Alcoholics Anonymous was founded in
Akron, Ohio, by Dr. Robert Holbrook Smith and
William Griffith Wilson.
In 1942, during World War II, German forces
massacred 173 male residents of Lidice (LIH’-dyiht-
zeh), Czechoslovakia, in retaliation for the killing of
Nazi official Reinhard Heydrich.
In 1944, German forces massacred 642 residents
of the French village of Oradour-sur-Glane.
In 1957, in Canadian elections, John Diefenbaker
(DEE’-fehn-BAY’-kur) led the Progressive Conser-
vatives to an upset victory over the Liberal party
of Prime Minister Louis St. Laurent (LOO’-ee sant
law-RAHNT’).
In 1971, President Richard M. Nixon lifted a two-
decades-old trade embargo on China.
In 1977, James Earl Ray, the convicted assas-
sin of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.,
escaped from Brushy Mountain State Prison in Ten-
nessee with six others; he was recaptured June 13.
In 1978, Affirmed, ridden by Steve Cauthen, won
the 110th Belmont Stakes to claim horse racing’s
11th Triple Crown. (Alydar was second while Darby
Creek Road came in third in a five-horse field.)
In 1990, Alberto Fujimori (foo-jee-MOHR’-ee)
was elected president of Peru by a narrow margin
over novelist Mario Vargas Llosa. Two members of
the rap group 2 Live Crew were arrested in Holly-
wood, Florida (they and a third band member were
later acquitted of obscenity charges).
In 1991, 11-year-old Jaycee Dugard of South
Lake Tahoe, California, was abducted by Phillip and
Nancy Garrido; Jaycee was held by the couple for 18
years before she was found by authorities.
In 2001, the Supreme Court, without comment,
turned down a request to allow the videotaping of
Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh’s execu-
tion, scheduled for the following day.
Ten years ago: James von Brunn, an 88-year-old
white supremacist, opened fire in the U.S. Holo-
caust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C.,
killing security guard Stephen T. Johns. (Von
Brunn died at a North Carolina hospital in January
2010 while awaiting trial.) Donald Trump fired Miss
California USA Carrie Prejean, who’d sparked con-
troversy when she said gays shouldn’t be allowed to
marry, citing contract violations.

Bernie & Joe: Two old white men take the lead
In 2018, a record
turnout of women,
minorities and young
added 40 House seats
to Democratic ranks
and made Nancy Pelosi
speaker.
This, we were told, is
the new diversity coali-
tion — women, people
of color, millennials —
that will take down The
Donald in 2020. Patrick Buchanan
So, how has the Dem-
ocratic field sorted itself
out half a year later?
According to the Real Clear Pol-
itics average of polls, two old white
guys, Joe Biden, 76, and Bernie
Sanders, 77, are setting the pace
and have together corralled more
than half of all Democrats.
There is a good chance the
party of minorities, millennials
and women will be led in 2020 by a
white man who would be the oldest
candidate ever nominated by a
major party.
Biden and Bernie may be wheez- of Biden.
ing, but the old white boys are out
in front of the pack.
Add Pete Buttigieg and Beto
O’Rourke, running fifth and sixth,
and 60 percent of Democrats favor
white men for the nomination. Only
20 percent favor one of five women:
Elizabeth Warren, Kamala Harris,
Amy Klobuchar, Kirsten Gillibrand
or Tulsi Gabbard.
The African American candi-
dates, Harris and Cory Booker, are
backed by only 1 in 10 Democrats.
Julian Castro, the lone Hispanic, is
at 1 percent, as is the Asian Ameri-
can Andrew Yang.
While the first primaries are half entries in political history, almost
a year off, the odds today favor —
after nominating Barack Obama
twice and then Hillary Clinton
— Democrats returning to the
20th-century traditional candidate
— a seasoned white man.
Frontrunner Biden is benefitting has come and who want old white
from the fact that his closest rival,
Bernie Sanders, is a socialist with a
large and loyal following
from his 2016 campaign.
For Bernie sits on a
huge pile of votes Biden
may not be able to win,
but which Bernie is
denying to any other
challenger.
Indeed, Bernie is
becoming a problem for
a whole host of Demo-
crats.
If he defeats Biden
for the nomination, he
pulls Democrats a long
way to becoming a U.S. replica of
the British Labour Party of Jeremy
Corbyn. Many moderate Democrats
will not vote for a lifelong socialist
who chose to spend his honeymoon
during the Cold War in the Soviet
Union.
Yet, as long as Bernie holds
onto the votes he has, he prevents
any candidate of color, any woman,
or any new and fresh face from
amassing enough strength in the
polls to get within striking distance
Bernie is thus today a de facto
ally of Biden. He holds too few votes
to take the nomination from Joe, but
sufficient votes to stay in the race
through the early primaries and
deny any other Democrat a clean
shot at Biden.
As of now, there are two lanes
to the Democratic nomination —
the centrist-moderate lane Biden
occupies almost exclusively, and
the left lane where Bernie leads but
is being challenged by Elizabeth
Warren.
Where does the Democratic
race, with the largest number of
two dozen, stand at the first turn?
Though Biden has more than a
third of all Democrats behind him,
he has slipped from his highest
ratings and is under attack from his
many rivals who believe a new day
men to go into retirement and get
out of the way.
Biden is being hit for a variety
of sins over a career that began
in 1972. He voted to authorize
George W. Bush to take us to war
in Iraq. He led the fight for the 1994
anti-crime bill now viewed as tough
on minorities. He left Anita Hill
twisting in the wind when he was
chairman of the Senate Judiciary
Committee during the Clarence
Thomas hearings. He denounced
busing for racial balance back in the
1970s and 1980s.
Now the old plagiarism charges
from his law school days and his
presidential campaign of 1988 are
being resurrected, since the Biden
campaign distributed materials to
back up his plan for combatting cli-
mate change with lines plagiarized
from other sources.
This week, Biden’s support of
the Hyde Amendment which, for
decades, has blocked federal tax
funding for almost all abortions,
is calling down the wrath of pro-
choice Democrats who are both
militant and many.
Another noteworthy develop-
ment of recent weeks is the prog-
ress of Elizabeth Warren, due to
the sheer number and appeal of her
ideas for soaking the rich and using
the revenue to create new entitle-
ments in the name of “economic
patriotism.” Say what you will, she
is talking issues.
Mayor Pete seems to have eased
back from his earlier highs, and
stalled. As for Beto, he may be flail-
ing those arms around like a drown-
ing man — because he is one. The
bloom is off the rose. Beto seems
frozen at 4 percent. There is truth
in what Alice Longworth Roosevelt
said of Tom Dewey’s re-nomination
in 1948 after having lost to FDR in
1944.
You can’t make a souffle rise a
second time.

Continued from Page 1A
So the Bulldogs did
come to the plate in the
ninth inning.
Anybody want to take a
stab at guessing who was
due up to start the inning?
The walk-up music
began. “I Don’t Want To
Lose Your Love To-
night,” by the group The
Outfield, appropriately
enough, blared over the
sound system as NCAA
neutrality gave way to
sentiment.
The 1985 song was
a hit for the otherwise
obscure group, which
meant The Outfield had
exactly 377 fewer hits
than Mangum, the SEC’s
all-time leader in hits, as
he walked to the plate,
pausing to doff his batting
helmet as the crowd rose
as one to honor the “May-
or of Starkville.”
Then, on the first
pitch, Mangum slapped
a ball between third
base and shortstop for
his 378th career hit in a
Bulldog uniform.
Of course he did.
“My first hit was the
same as the last one, right
through the six-hole,”
Mangum said a half-hour
after the game. “How’s
that?”
Pretty cheesy, right?
But, wait. There’s more.
After Jordan Westburg
followed with another
single, Elijah MacNamee,
the Bulldogs’ senior right
fielder, worked a 3-ball
count. Under normal con-
ditions, he’d take the next
pitch. This was anything
but normal, of course.
“Mac” was up there
hacking, fouling off the
next pitch and earning
another strike to run the
count full.
It had been a tough
end of the season for Mac-
Namee. He played with an
injured foot for the second
half of the season, miss-
ing the final seven games
before the NCAA playoffs
began. The past week
was even worse. Almost
1,200 players, including
11 Bulldogs were chosen
during last week’s Major
League Baseball Amateur
draft. The clutch-hitting
MacNamee, who put
last year’s team on his
back and carried it to the
College World Series with
two walk-off three run
homers, never heard his
name called.
So, naturally, on a
3-2 pitch, MacNamee
crushed a no-doubter
home run over the left-
field fence for yet another
three-run homer as the
Bulldogs lost whatever
was left of their collective
minds.
“He is such an awe-
some player and an even
better kid,” Lemonis said.
“The day after (the draft),
he showed up with a smile
on his face and was pump-
ing everyone else up. The
game rewards that kind of
attitude. That home run
was pretty fitting.”
Then came the bottom
of the ninth, with grad
student Cole Gordon tak-
ing over on the mound.
He struck out the first
batter, retired the second
batter on a fly ball and
then — well, you can
guess what happened
next. Gordon struck out
the final batter to end the an end more perfectly
game and empty the Bull- scripted than Sunday

um said.
“I got kind of choked
up there in the bottom of
the ninth watching Cole,
a guy we had to talk into
coming back this year,”
Lemonis said. “That was
an awesome moment.”
But there was no doubt
who the man of the hour
was.
Since capturing an
SEC batting title as a
freshman, Jake Mangum
has been in the middle
of everything. In his four
years, MSU reached the
super regionals all four
years and are now making
their second straight trip
to Omaha, its third in sev-
en years and 11th overall.
Mangum, who led the
Bulldogs’ five-minute
procession around the
stadium after the game,
was soaking in the scene
long after the ended.
But a storybook ending
doesn’t come until the
end, he noted.
There’s work left to do.
“Last year, we were
one win away from
playing for the national
championship,” he said.
“During the offseason,
doing all the drills and
stuff you really don’t want
to do, you have that in the
back of your mind. We’re
not here to just get to
Omaha, to be in the Elite
Eight. We’re here to win
the national champion-
ship.”
The Bulldogs may
indeed reach that goal.
But it’s hard to imagine

MSU beat Stanford, 8-1, to sweep the Starkville Super Regional.

MSU blisters Stanford, 8-1, to sweep Starkville Super Regional

BY BEN PORTNOY
bportnoy@cdispatch.com
STARKVILLE — Mississippi
State’s 8-1 victory over Stanford
in game two of the Starkville Su-
per Regional Sunday read like a
poem.
It ended with the Bulldogs
punching their ticket to the Col-
lege World Series for the second
year in a row.
The opening stanza featured
junior catcher Dustin Skelton.
One night after he watched
senior center fielder Jake Mang-
um rob Stanford’s Andrew
Daschbach of a grand slam in
the first inning of Saturday’s
game one win, Skelton looked
off toward almost the exact same
spot in the right-center gap.
Seconds earlier, he uncorked
on a 2-2 offering from Cardinal
starter Erik Miller. He thought it
was gone.
As it bounced off the top of
the wall, he rounded second
and stood on third with a bases
clearing, go-ahead triple. MSU
led 4-1.
“I was just thinking, ‘Run my
tail off and try and get to second
base,’” Skelton said. “When it
fell, I turned second, looked at
the fans as I was going to third
and I was just overwhelmed with
how loud it was. I was trying to
live in the moment.”
Senior pitcher Peyton Plum-
lee highlighted the middle por-
tion of Sunday’s sonnet.
Roughly two years removed
from being suspended for the
entirety of the 2018 season due
to a failed drug test, Plumlee
hurled 6 2/3 innings of two-hit
ball.
His lone blemish came on a
solo home run to Cardinal out-
fielder Kyle Stowers in the bot-
tom of the first inning. It was all
Stanford would get.
Quickly refocusing, Plumlee
used a steady mix of fastball
placement from side-to-side to
fool the Cardinal hitters.
He went on to retire 10
straight batters between the
fourth and seventh innings.
In the bottom of the seventh,
he handed the ball to MSU head
coach Chris Lemonis and wan-
dered off the mound at Dudy
Noble Field for the final time to
the tune of a standing ovation.
“The amount of support (the
fans) bring to us, you can’t do
anything else but compete your
butt off and try to win in front of
them,” Plumlee said.
After senior Jared Liebelt
bridged the gap between Plum-
lee’s exit in the seventh inning,
the ninth brought the closing
home acts of Mangum and se-
niors Elijah MacNamee and
Cole Gordon.

and then to his right.

answer that in a way to help your story.”
Arkansas (45-18) jumped out to a 2-0 lead in
the top of the first inning on Dominic Fletcher’s
two-run home run, but the Rebels answered
back in the bottom of the first when first base-
man Cole Zabowski crushed a three-run homer
off Arkansas starter Connor Noland.
“He threw me a change-up,” Zabowski said.
“He threw me a change-up the pitch before. I
was just trying to see him up in the zone and I
got a good pitch to hit.”

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

Former major Davis homers for 1st

league coach, time in month, A’s
manager Frank beat Rangers 9-8
Lucchesi dies at 92 The Associated Press

The Associated Press
ARLINGTON, Texas
— Frank Lucchesi, who re-
placed the fired Billy Mar-
tin as manager of the Texas
Rangers in 1975 and was
punched by a player upset
over a demotion two years
later, has died. He was 92.
Lucchesi
The Rangers said Luc-
chesi died Saturday. The
San Francisco native lived in the Dallas
area.
Lucchesi managed in the minor
leagues for 17 years before taking over
in Philadelphia in 1970. He managed the
Phillies for two full seasons and part of
a third in 1972. He was a coach for the
Rangers when he replaced Martin and
managed Texas all of 1976.
During spring training in 1977, second
baseman Lenny Randle was upset over
being benched and punched Lucchesi,
sending him to the hospital. Lucchesi was
fired during the season with the Rangers
at 31-31.
Lucchesi’s final stint as a manager was
in an interim role with the Chicago Cubs
to finish the 1987 season. He had a 316-
399 record, managing three full seasons
and parts of four others.
ARLINGTON, Texas —
Khris Davis benefited from
comfortable hitting surround-
ings despite playing halfway
across the country from his
home ballpark.
The Oakland slugger hom-
ered for the first time in nearly
a month as the Athletics built
an eight-run lead, then hung
on to beat the Texas Rangers
9-8 on Sunday for a four-game
series split.
Davis hit a two-run homer
off Drew Smyly (1-5) in the
third inning, his 13th home
run this season but first since
May 13. Davis sustained a left
hip and oblique injury on May
5, tried to play through it and
was out from May 22-31. Davis
has 17 homers in 32 games at
Globe Life Park, and he add-
ed an RBI single in the ninth
against José Leclerc, giving
him 34 RBIs this season.
Frankie Montas (8-2) im-
proved to 4-0 in his last seven
starts, allowing three runs —
two earned — and seven hits
in six innings. He matched his
career high with 10 strikeouts,
getting his final six outs on Ks.
Matt Olson homered in the
second off Smyly, who gave up
five runs and six hits in three
innings. Smyly has an 8.40
ER A and failed to finish four
innings for the fifth time in
nine starts.
Texas trailed 8-3 in the
eighth when Asdrúbal Cabrera
and Rougned Odor hit consec-
utive RBI doubles, and Odor
stole home off left-hander
Ryan Buchter, who was slow to
step off the rubber and throw
home.
Odor bluffed a steal on the
first pitch and saw Buchter
didn’t react.
On the second pitch, “I just
put my head down and kept
going,” Odor said. He dove
and stretched his left arm be-
tween the legs of catcher Josh
Phegley.
Cabrera, who homered in
the sixth, hit an RBI single in
the ninth against Blake Trein-
en, and Texas closed to 9-8
within on a run-scoring passed
ball by Phegley. Odor walked
and with runners on first and
second, Treinen retired Ron-
ald Guzmán on a game-ending
flyout for his 14th save in 16
chances.

Buehler, Muncy lead
Dodgers to 1-0 shutout
of Giants
SAN FRANCISCO —
Max Muncy added an-
other layer to the Dodg-
ers-Giants rivalry with a
long home run off Madi-
son Bumgarner that land-
ed in McCovey Cove and
left the San Francisco ace
fuming.
Then, Muncy tossed in
a verbal jab for good mea-
sure as he rounded the
bases.
“I told him: ‘If you don’t
want me to watch the ball
you can go in the ocean
and get it,’” Muncy said.
“Honestly, I thought it
was probably one of my
tamer bat-flips that I’ve
ever done. I didn’t actu-
ally think it was anything
outrageous. I took one or
two steps out of the box,
started jogging, and that
was really all it was.”
On a day highlighted
by strong pitching from
both teams, Muncy’s
blast into the San Francis-
co Bay accounted for the
only run in the Dodgers’
1-0 win over the Giants on
Sunday.
Walker Buehler and
two relievers combined
on a five-hitter as Los An-
geles remained unbeaten
in its last 11 series (nine
wins, two splits), the lon-
gest active streak in the
majors.
That one run nearly
sparked fireworks be-
tween the NL West rivals
after Bumgarner became
upset watching Muncy
stroll out of the box fol-
lowing his home run.
Bumgarner (3-6) left a
92 mph fastball high over
the plate to Muncy, who
crushed the ball 426 feet
into the waters past the
walkway beyond the right
field wall.
Already frustrated by
two pitches that didn’t go
his way against leadoff
hitter Kiké Hernández,
Bumgarner was even
more angry after Muncy
admired his home run
while slowly walking to-
ward first base. Bumgar- hander allowed one run-

STANLEY CUP
Bruins force Stanley Cup Game 7 with 5-1 win over Blues
The Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — Facing elimination in
an oh-so-hostile environment, Tuukka
Rask and Brad Marchand stepped up
for the Boston Bruins once again.
The Stanley Cup Final is heading to
Game 7 because two of Boston’s big-
gest stars love the biggest moments.
Rask made 28 saves, Marchand had
a goal and an assist, and the Bruins
beat the St. Louis Blues 5-1 on Sunday
night to even the bruising, physical fi-
nal at three games apiece.
David Pastrnak had one of Boston’s
four goals in the third period and an as-
sist, helping the Bruins force the 17th
Game 7 in Stanley Cup history. Bran-
don Carlo, Karson Kuhlman and Zdeno
Chara also scored.
“We’re fighting for our lives obvi-
ously,” Marchand said. “When you play
desperate, I think you see everyone’s
best game.”
Boston also was involved in the fi-
nal’s last Game 7, winning the cham-
pionship at Vancouver in 2011. Rask
was a reserve goaltender on that team
eight years ago, while Marchand was a
key performer. They will go for anoth-
er championship Wednesday night in
Boston after losing to Chicago in the
2013 final.
“The whole hockey world loves a
Game 7, so it should be a great night
in Boston and may the best team win,”
Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said.
Ryan O’Reilly scored in the third pe-
riod for St. Louis, which is looking for
the franchise’s first Stanley Cup title in
its 51st season. Rookie Jordan Binning-
ton finished with 27 stops.
“We have to move on, get ready for
the next one,” O’Reilly said. “We’re
confident. We’re a great road team.
Maybe that’s our story. Maybe we have
to get it done on the road.”

great night in Boston and may the best team win’
Center crowd that included actors Jon
Hamm and Jenna Fischer and Cardi-
nals catcher Yadier Molina, wearing
a No. 49 Blues jersey in honor of sus-
pended forward Ivan Barbashev, St.
Louis looked a step off for most of the
game. Prime scoring opportunities
were derailed by misplaced passes or
ever-so-slight timing issues.
Of course, the unflappable Rask can
have that effect on a team. And when-
ever the Blues threatened, the 6-foot-3
Finnish star was there.
“He’s our best player,” Bruins defen-
seman Charlie McAvoy said. “He just
steps up when it matters and we have
all the faith in the world in him. ... He’s
our rock.”
Rask was at his best while Boston
killed off four power plays, dropping St.
Louis to 1 for 18 with the man advan-
tage for the series. He smothered a big
Colton Parayko slap shot with Chara in
the box near the end of the first peri-
od, and made a fancy glove stop on an
even-strength try for Brayden Schenn
7:42 in the second.
He got some help after Marchand
was whistled for tripping Alex Pietran-
gelo midway through the second. With
the Blues applying heavy pressure in
search of the tying goal, Pietrangelo
had a backhand go off the left post and
Rask’s back before McAvoy knocked
the puck out of the way out of midair.
“We weathered the storm pretty
good,” Rask said.
While St. Louis came up empty on
the power play, Boston used a 5-on-3
advantage to jump in front in the first.

Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy
sharp-angled shot from the right circle
at 8:40.
It was Marchand’s first goal since he
got an empty-netter in Boston’s 4-2 vic-
tory in Game 1. The Bruins improved
to 25-1 when the pesky veteran scores
in the postseason.
“We knew that again the start was
going to be key and that they were go-
ing to give us a push early and to man-
age that and play well and take care
of details and obviously capitalize on
our chances,” Boston center Patrice
Bergeron said.
Marchand and company then put it
away in the third.
First, Jake DeBrusk won a board
battle with Pietrangelo to set up Carlo’s
bouncing shot that went off Binning-
ton’s arm for the defenseman’s second
career playoff goal. Then Kuhlman, a
rookie who was in the lineup in place
of former Blues captain David Backes,
made it 3-0 with a well-placed wrist
shot at 10:15.
After O’Reilly supplied some hope
for St. Louis when he was awarded
a goal after a review by the officials,
Marchand found Pastrnak in front and
the winger put a slick move on Binning-
ton to make it 4-1 on 14:06.
Chara, playing with a broken jaw,
added an empty-netter with 2:19 left.
The crowd chanted “Let’s Go Blues!”
in the final moments, hoping to give St.
Louis a boost for its trip to Boston.
“Listen, if you told me four months
ago we were going to be in the finals in
Game 7, I think I’d take it,” Blues coach
Craig Berube said. “We’ve been a good
road team. We’ve won twice up there in
this series, so we’re a confident group.”

Relief pitcher Jared Liebelt celebrates after striking out a Cardinal hitter Sunday at Dudy Noble Field.

MSU
Continued from Page 1B
box for what would be
his final official at-bat
in Starkville, Mangum
wasted no time. The
SEC’s all-time hits lead-
ed roped the first pitch
he saw from Stanford re-
liever Will Matthiessen
into left field.
Perched upon first
base with a leadoff sin-
gle, Mangum blew a kiss
to the maroon and white
faithful.
“My first ever hit at
Dudy Noble was the
same as my last — the
six-hole,” he said. “Of
course it was the first
pitch, too.”
MacNamee stepped to
the plate two batters later
with one out and the bas-
es loaded. Struggling of
late, he entered the at-bat
0-for-7 against the Cardi-
nal in the super regional.
MacNamee quickly
jumped out to a 3-0 lead
in the count. A foul tip
and an ugly swing at a
ball in the dirt ran the
count full.
His last swing, though,
brought the crowd to its
feet.
With the cracking
sound of metal on leather
and a bat flip that nearly
cleared Stanford catch-
er Maverick Handley’s
head, MacNamee put the
Bulldogs ahead 8-1 cour-
tesy of a three-run home
run into the Left Field
Lounge.
“All week he said God’s
got him — stay with God
and good things will hap-
pen.” Mangum said of
his classmate. “He’s got
him.”
Finally, it was Gor-
don’s turn.
The graduate senior
nearly walked away from
the game after last sea-
son’s run to the College
World Series. The coach-
ing staff convinced him
otherwise.
Following two quick
outs, Gordon baited Stan-
ford third baseman Tim
Tawa into swinging on a
2-2 pitch for the night’s
final out.
Chaos ensued.
A dogpile on the pitch-
er’s mound was the first
order of business.
The celebration con-
tinued with a victory lap
around the outskirts of Sunday’s Cryptoquote:
the playing surface.
As the Dudy Noble
crowd cheered for their
beloved Bulldogs on the
field down below, The
Four Season’s tune “De-
cember 1963 (Oh, What
a Night)” echoed over the
stadium speakers.
For the second time in
as many seasons, MSU
was headed to the Col-
lege World Series.
“Man if you think I
can put that into words
you’re crazy,” Mangum
said. “You can’t write
anything better.”

Plumlee
Continued from Page 1B
qualification in 2018,
Plumlee debated leaving
MSU. Instead, he decided
to stay if first-year head
coach Lemonis and his
new staff would have him.
They would.
Plumlee has returned
the favor with a 7-4 re-
cord and a 3.67 ER A in 81
innings pitched this year.
“We got him back in
the fall and he had not
played in a whole year,”
Lemonis said. “He was
not really good in the fall.
He came out in the early
season and was pretty
good. Then, he struggled.
He has kept fighting.”
Sunday, Plumlee add-
ed a new tale to his ev-
er-growing comeback
story, helping MSU to its
second-straight College
World Series appear-
ance. The final chapter?
That has yet to be writ-
ten.
“Everything I did to
get back to this point was
for this moment, to get
back to Omaha and to
give our fans a National
Championship — which
is what we are looking to
do,” Plumlee said. “For
all that to actually hap-
pen and come into place
is surreal.”

ACROSS

FSU’s Martin back to CWS;
Michigan in 1st time since 1984
Florida State coach Mike Martin,
the all-time wins leader in all NCAA
sports, will get one more shot at win-
ning his first national championship
before he retires.
The Seminoles continued their im-
probable postseason surge with a 5-4
win over LSU in 12 innings Sunday
night to complete a two-game super
regional sweep.
Now, Martin and his team are off
to Omaha, Nebraska, for the College
World Series. It’s the 23rd trip for the
program and 17th for Martin.
Michigan, like Florida State one of
the last teams picked for the 64-team
national tournament, knocked off No.
1 overall seed UCLA 4-2 in a Game 3
in Los Angeles to secure its first CWS
appearance since the Barry Larkin-led
Wolverines in 1984. It was the second
straight time UCLA failed to make it to
Omaha as the top seed. The 2015 Bru-
ins were eliminated in regionals.
Vanderbilt, Texas Tech and Missis-
sippi State also won super regionals to
advance. Louisville earned a CWS spot
Saturday.
Florida State (41-21) has reached
the NCAA Tournament in each of Mar-
tin’s 40 seasons, but barely got in this
year. An up-and-down regular season
and a so-so resume left the Seminoles
vulnerable on selection day, and they
were awarded one of the last four at-
large bids.
They beat No. 4 national seed Geor-
gia twice while going 3-0 in their re-
gional and then they went into Alex
Box Stadium, one of the toughest road
environments in the nation, and won
two close games over the Tigers.
Drew Mendoza delivered the key
hit with two outs in the 12th, sending
Devin Fontenot’s 2-2 pitch into right
field to score Mike Salvatore from sec-
ond for the walk-off win.
His wife blowing kisses to him from
the stands, Martin pumped his right
fist and shouted, “Yes! Yes! Yes!” be-
fore descending the dugout steps af-
ter an on-field celebration. Martin, 75,

Weekend Sports in Brief
SANTO DOMINGO,
Dominican Republic —
Former Boston Red Sox
slugger David Ortiz was
ambushed by a man who
got off a motorcycle and
shot him in the back at
close range Sunday night
in his native Dominican Ortiz
Republic, authorities said.
Dominican National Police Director
Ney Aldrin Bautista Almonte said Ortiz
was at the Dial Bar and Lounge in San-
to Domingo around 8:50 p.m. when the
gunman approached from behind and
shot him. Ortiz was taken to the Abel
Gonzalez clinic, where he underwent
surgery, and his condition was stable,
Bautista said.
Ortiz’s father, Leo, speaking to re-
porters outside the clinic, said his son
was out of danger and there wasn’t any
collateral damage, meaning there was
no damage to major organs. He said he
had no idea why someone would have
shot at his son.
TENNIS
PARIS — Rafael Nadal pulled away in
what had suddenly become a tight final to
beat Dominic Thiem 6-3, 5-7, 6-1, 6-1 Sun-
day for his record-extending 12th French
Open championship.
It raises Nadal’s Grand Slam title count
to 18, within two of Roger Federer’s re-
cord for a man.
The 33-year-old Spaniard improved to
93-2 at Roland Garros, including a com-
bined 24-0 in semifinals and finals.
This was a rematch of last year’s final,
which Nadal won in straight sets against
Thiem, a 25-year-old Austrian who beat
No. 1 Novak Djokovic in the semifinals
and was seeking his first major trophy.
PARIS (AP) — Ash Barty decided to
take a break from tennis in 2014 to play
cricket. After almost two years away, the
Australian returned to the tour, and that
career choice paid off in a big way Satur-
day with her first Grand Slam title.
The No. 8-seeded Barty took control
right at the start of the French Open final
and never really let go, beating unseeded
19-year-old Marketa Vondrousova of the
Czech Republic 6-1, 6-3.
The 23-year-old Barty wound up with a
27-10 edge in winners against a far shaki-
er Vondrousova and became the first Aus-
tralian to win the trophy at Roland Garros
since Margaret Court in 1973.
BOXING
CANASTOTA, N.Y. — Two-division
champion James McGirt was inducted
into the International Boxing Hall of
Fame, and he struggled with his emotions
while thanking his family for the sacrific-
es they made during his time in the ring.
McGirt told the crowd Sunday he
warned them the night before that he
was going to cry and he delivered, fight-
ing back tears as he thanked his wife and
children. He said they told him earlier
that they were proud of him, and McGirt
could barely speak as he thanked them.
Also inducted were: two-division
champions Donald Curry and Julian Jack-
son; Tony DeMarco in the old-timer cat-
egory; promoter Don Elbaum; referee/
judge Guy Jutras; publicist Lee Samuels;
and broadcaster Teddy Atlas. Puerto Ri-
can journalist Mario Rivera Martino was
selected posthumously.
Inductees were selected in December
by members of the Boxing Writers Asso-
ciation and a panel of international boxing
historians.
LAW
FORT MYERS, Fla. — Authorities
say a former University of Florida football
player, Earl Antonio “Tony” Joiner, has
been arrested and charged with killing
his wife in a case dating to 2016.
Joiner was a former safety at Florida
under then-Coach Urban Meyers and
part of the team that beat Ohio State for
the BCS national championship in 2007,
his junior year.
Fort Myers police said in a statement
that Joiner was arrested Saturday in Lake
Wales on a second-degree murder charge
in the death of 26-year-old Heyzel Oban-
do. Her body was found in her apartment
in February 2016.
Media outlets report Joiner was being
held Sunday without bond. It was unclear
if he had an attorney.

Dear Abby
D
EAR ABBY:
My wife died
recently.
We were very
happy. We had six
beautiful children
and were married
for 58 wonderful
years.
It has been
a month since
her funeral, and I
ZITS have been able to
cope somewhat
with her loss. But
suddenly, a couple
of days ago, I
experienced a
Dear Abby
tremendous wave
of grief and thought I would go
crazy with not being able to see
her again. I began to be afraid
I’d have to be hospitalized,
perhaps in a psychiatric ward
and medicated. But my son told
me this condition (everything
“hitting” you in a delayed reac-
GARFIELD tion) has been documented in a
majority of cases. Is this true?
— GRIEVING TEXAN
DEAR GRIEVING TEXAN:
Please accept my deepest
sympathy for the loss of your
wife. I am sure you feel her loss
profoundly.
Not everyone grieves in the
same way. Some feel numb and
can’t understand why they can’t
feel anything after a loved one
dies. Others feel the loss imme- adult children, let them know
diately and can’t sleep, eat or
stop crying.
Your son is
absolutely right.
What happened
to you is not un-
usual. However, if
feelings of being
out of control per-
sist, you should
discuss them with
your doctor.
DEAR ABBY:
One of our in-
laws recently
confessed about
a long-term affair.
The details are
widely known. The
closest family
members, and especially the
couple’s adult children, are
shocked, devastated and angry.
No one wants to even talk to
the cheater.
The aggrieved spouse wants
to keep the marriage together.
It is hard to imagine that time
will heal these wounds. How
can my wife and I support the
aggrieved spouse and the
devastated children? Should
we try to re-establish ties with
the cheater? If so, do we just
talk about the weather, or do
we acknowledge the elephant
in the room? — TRYING TO DO
WHAT’S RIGHT
DEAR TRYING: If you truly
want to support the spouse and
you are there for them if they
want to talk. If you socialize
with the husband and wife as a
couple, continue to behave as
you always have with them and
discuss the topics you always
did. Couples can get past
turbulence in their marriage
more easily without unsolicited
interference.
DEAR ABBY: I was paying
bills and saw that my husband
sent his mother flowers for
Mother’s Day. It stung because
I received nothing from him. ZIP.
In the past, he has stated that
I am not his mom, suggesting
there’s no reason to celebrate
the mother of HIS child who
birthed HIS child on Mother’s
Day 10 years ago. Should I
be annoyed? — UNSURE IN
OREGON
DEAR UNSURE: Most
husbands have more brains
than the cheap, insensitive
man you married. I am tempted
to suggest that you “forget”
him on Father’s Day and when
he asks why, tell him he’s not
your father. You are a mother
because he helped you become
one, and he shouldn’t forget
that fact.

as Jeanne Phillips, and was

Horoscopes
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June
10). So many resources open
up between now and 2020 that,
without a map, you could easily
get lost. The next 10 weeks
will bring you teachers and
methods. Choose one, and stick
to it. Let this be your rudder.
Family helps, too, sometimes
with encouragement, other
times with giving you something
to rebel against. Cancer and
Capricorn adore you. Your lucky
BABY BLUES numbers are: 10, 3, 38, 4 and
17.
ARIES (March 21-April
19). Play around with people’s
expectations. Make loud things
quiet, small things supersized,
timed things available at all
hours of the day or night. You
need a move that’s going to get
BEETLE BAILEY
MALLARD FILLMORE
FAMILY CIRCUS
you noticed.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20). People tend to equate
safety with familiarity. But just
because it feels safe or unsafe,
that doesn’t make it so. Know-
ing a place doesn’t make it a
good place. Stay open-minded.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
You aim to elevate your interac-
tions to the level of art. If it’s
imbued with a certain feeling
that’s so you, it’s probably art.
If it’s also personal and couldn’t
be created by anyone else, it’s
definitely art.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
You’re willing to accept a full-col-
or version of morality, as the
black-and-white rules can’t con-
tain the entirety of the complex
human spirit. You might say that
your definition of a good person
has matured some.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).
People keep coming back to the
ones who are fun to talk to, who
add value to the exchange and
change the mood for the better.
All you have to do is intend to
be that person today, and it all
works in your favor.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
It’s annoying when other people
tell you to relax (They are not
the boss of you!), but when
you tell yourself to relax, it’s
comforting, a letting up on the
controls and an invitation to be
super nice to yourself.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Are you bored? You’re riding
a mid-zone sort of mood that
could be getting too comfort-
able. The answer is to take a
hard turn in one direction -- any
direction, really. The change it-
self won’t matter. What matters
is that you made one.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). You can’t win at two games
at the same time. Play one
game, and choose which one
very carefully. Hint: Pick the one
where you don’t have to try hard
to fit in and conceal your true
nature in the process.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). These hours of your life
are irreplaceable. There are op-
portunities in this day that will
never come again. All the more
reason to start off by recogniz-
ing this day for the gift it is.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). Like the big-city conve-
nience store that keeps pictures
behind the cash register of the
bad customers who are banned
for life, you have your own list of
the vanquished. Remember it.
Enforce it.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). You’re driven to give be-
yond what you’re expected and/
or paid to give. All the surplus
— that’s the part of the gift that
feeds your soul. So it always
benefits you to deliver more
than the call.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). It’s good to know who
you’re doing things for because
it lets you know who you can
ignore. If you’re pleasing your
target audience, you can proba-
bly ignore your critics while you
hone in on the feedback your
people give you.
