"Tennessee softball pitchers Ivy Renfroe and Ellen Renfroe say they aren’t motivated by sibling rivalry.“I could see brothers being like that,” Ivy Renfroe said, “but we never have.”The two sisters always were more interested in teaming up than squaring off. They’re now hoping to lead Tennessee (47-10) to a second straight Women’s College World Series berth, though a giant obstacle stands in their way."

"While the Jays are eight games under .500 and nine games back of the AL East lead, pitcher R.A. Dickey still believes this team can make a push for the playoffs.Dickey told the media this week that if the Jays can get their record to .500 by the All Star Break in July, that they’ll have a strong chance of making the playoffs for the first time in 20 years."
