Notre Dame’s Carson Tinney hits inside-the-park home run

You’ll enjoy this.

One of the most exciting plays in baseball is the inside-the-park home run. It doesn’t happen very often, which is why people always yearn to see one whenever they go to a game. Those who attended Notre Dame’s game Friday against Boston College were lucky.

The Irish crushed the Eagles, 14-3, in seven innings, but one moment stood out above the rest. With the Irish already up big in the bottom of the sixth, [autotag]Carson Tinney[/autotag] was called on to pinch-hit for [autotag]Joey Spence[/autotag], who already had a home run in the game. Tinney is one of the lesser contributors on the team, but he crushed a pitch and had a moment he won’t ever forget:

With the victory, the Irish extended their hitting streak to three and got their record back to .500 at 18-18. Their ACC record remains paltry at 3-16, the exact record of the MLB-worst Chicago White Sox. Needless to say, this has been a trying season for the Irish, but moments like this will make it stand out a bit.

Ohio State receiver Carnell Tate signs NIL deal with hometown MLB team

One of the more unique NIL deals around. Congrats Carnell! #GoBucks

In the era of name, image and likeness, many collegiate players have been taking advantage to multiple opportunities that have presented themselves, and Ohio State football wide receiver, [autotag]Carnell Tate,[/autotag] is no different.

The rising-sophomore finished his high school career in Florida, but is an Illinois native. That fact he went to Marist High School, which is on the south side of Chicago, and gave the Chicago White Sox incentive to reach out to Tate about an NIL deal.

That all came to fruition as it was announced on Thursday that the Sox have partnered up with Tate, along with multiple other local collegiate stars as CHISOX Athlete Class of 2024.

The deal includes the opportunity to throw out the first pitch of a game, a photoshoot at Guaranteed Rate Field, and more.
