Oktaha’s softball team surged into the Class 2A semifinals with a dynamic blend of offense and pitching. An early scoring flurry set the tone, and pitcher Capps delivered a commanding performance, ensuring that offense alone wasn’t the only factor in their success.

Sandy Alcantara struck out six over six shutout innings, propelling the Miami Marlins to a narrow 3-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday night. The 2022 NL Cy Young Award winner secured his first win since April 12.

In his return to the rotation, Hayden Birdsong delivered a dominant performance, allowing just one unearned run over five innings, leading the San Francisco Giants to a 3-2 victory over the Kansas City Royals and evening the three-game series.
