And if you need an afternoon baseball fix - and have access to TV/internet/apps - Oregon St (#3 in the nation) is playing Louisville in an elimination game. 1st pitch set for about 2:10 CDT.

June 1, 1925: Walter Johnson & the Senators won 5-3 over the Yankees, with “The Big Train” moving to 8-2 on the season.
