Poll Question of the Week, presented by Larry Lucas State Farm Insurance in Columbia (803-799-1998) and Lexington (803-359-0770): There's renewed excitement about USC baseball following the hiring of Kevin Schnall. By when do you expect a CWS trip?

A.J. Ewing finished a triple shy of the cycle, and the Mets beat the Braves 8-1 on Sunday to hand the top team in the majors its second consecutive series loss.
Before the game, Braves manager Walt Weiss said there was“nothing definitive yet” on pitcher Spencer Strider. Strider will be evaluated by Dr. Keith Meister this week. An MRI revealed inflammation in his right elbow.
New USC baseball coach Kevin Schnall Sunday landed a commitment from one of the nation’s top catchers in the 2027 class in Brogan Witcher of Bakersfield, CA. The Gamecocks also added commitments from two pitchers in Andres Jimenez of Lilburn, GA, and Max Bianchini, a free agent from Upstate.
The Carolina Hurricanes are Stanley Cup Champions for a second time after defeating Las Vegas last night 3-0 to win the series in six games. The Canes first brought the Cup to the Carolinas 20 years ago.
Denny Hamlin won his third straight NASCAR Cup race on Sunday, overtaking a fuel-challenged Christopher Bell with four laps remaining for his eighth career win at Pocono. Tyler Reddick finished a distant second and saw his points lead on Hamlin sliced to 19 points.
Bud Cauley won the Canadian Open by two shots over Matt Fitzpatrick for his first Tour win in 239 starts. Clemson’s Jacob Bridgeman finished six shots off the pace.
Former USC star Brett Quigley finished T4 in the Champions Tour event in Des Moines. Bishopville’s Tommy Gainey finished T18. Zach Johnson won by four shots.
Clemson’s Carson Young led the South Carolina contingent in the Korn Ferry Tour Event in Amarillo, TX. He finished T8 at nine under par. Clemson’s Bryson Nimmer finished T28, USC’s Matt Nesmith T40, USC’s Frankie Harris T69 and Matt Atkins of USC-Aiken finished T62.
USC’s Nathan Franks was T16 in the PGA Tour Americas event in Bogota. Fellow Gamecock Zach Adams finished T30.
