ing in her official capacity
during television inter-
views and on social me-

Federal law prohibits
employees of the exec-
utive branch from using
their official authority or
influence to affect the re-
sult of an election. Trump
and Vice President Mike
Pence are exempt from
the Hatch Act, but there
are no exceptions for
White House employees.
The agency does not
have the authority to fire
Conway, who was ap-
pointed by Trump, so it
would be up to the pres-
ident to follow its recom-
mendation and dismiss
one of his most unwaver-
ing defenders. Conway is
known for her fiery televi-
sion appearances in sup-
port of the president and
his policies. She helped
him win election in 2016
as his campaign manager.
The recommendation
to fire Conway is the first
time the watchdog office
has recommended the
removal of a White House
official over Hatch Act vi-
olations.
Special Counsel Henry
Kerner’s letter to Trump
states: “Ms. Conway’s
violations, if left unpun-
ished, send a message
to all federal employees
that they need not abide
by the Hatch Act’s restric-
tions. Her actions erode
the principal foundation
of our democratic system
— the rule of law.”
Conway told reporters
who encountered her in
the White House press of-
fice, “I have no reaction.”
White House spokes-
man Steven Groves called
the agency’s decision
“deeply flawed” and said
it violated Conway’s con-
stitutional rights to free
speech and due process.

benchmark testing and
college entry exams such
as the ACT and SAT —
scores which factor into
Mississippi Department
of Education’s account-
ability rating of school
districts, which are re-
leased on an A-F scale
each fall. District super-
intendents each signed a
contract with GTECHS,
EMCC and MDE in 2015,
all agreeing to the test
score allocation to LCSD.
In contrast, at schools
like the Columbus-based
Mississippi School for
Mathematics and Sci-
ence and the Mississip-
pi School for the Arts in
Brookhaven — both of
which accept students
from multiple home dis-
tricts — MDE applies
test scores to the home
district’s accountability
rating.
The State Board of
Education unanimously
approved an accountabili-
ty rule change during its
regular meeting in Jack-
son Thursday morning,
meaning GTECHS scores
will be applied to students’
home districts. The rule
will take affect this Oc-
tober when district and
school accountability rat-
ings are released for the
2018-19 school year.
“This would allow the
results from those schools
to return to those students’
high school of residence,”
MDE Chief Academic Of-
ficer Nathan Oakley said
during the meeting. “This
would give some flexibility
and ensure those sending
schools didn’t lose the re-
sults from the students
participating in these pro-
grams.”
The state board’s rule
change comes more than
a month after CMSD
Board President Jason
Spears penned a letter
urging the state to change
its accountability on be-
half of CMSD, SOCSD and
WPCSD.
GTECHS had 221 stu-
dents total in 2018-19, with
45 from CMSD, 63 from
LCSD, 33 from NCSD, 34
from SOCSD and 46 from
WPCSD.
The impact
CMSD is currently
rated a D district, while
Starkville and West Point
are both Cs. Noxubee
County, now under state
conservatorship, is rated
an F.
Spears, who attend-
ed Thursday’s state
board meeting, said the
GTECHS students’ per-
formance will only help
CMSD’s rating.
“We already have a
lot of students in dual
enrollment, but that will
add to the accountabil-
ity,” Spears said. “The
students that graduated
this year in the first class,
those students would
count toward are gradu-
ation rate. It would only
help. It wouldn’t take away
from us. This is the way it
should have been to begin
with.
“I’m very excited for
the district as whole, but
I’m excited for our coun-
terparts in West Point,
Starkville and Noxubee,”
he added. “I’m excited
MDE listened to what
we talked about and an-
swered the bell to this
oversight in what was
happening. I’m glad it was
addressed and corrected
through the state board of
education.”
CMSD Superintendent
Cherie Labat said the new
rule also will help build
a better relationship be-
tween GTECHS and the
other districts. At Colum-
bus, for example, she said
administrators would be
more open to promoting
GTECHS as an option for
students.
“Overall, we will be
more open to look at
the pur-
pose of the
GTECHS
process ,”
Labat said.
“… It will
increase en-
rollment (at
G T E CHS). Labat
We will be
more genuine in our inter-
ests. It makes GTECHS
a partnership. Instead of
(CMSD being) adversar-
ies, we are partners.”
WPCSD Board Pres-
ident Gene Brown said
he’s not sure how much
of an impact the scores
will have for the district,
but said he was also ex-
cited for WPCSD when
he heard the rule change
was approved.
“A lot of those students
are pretty bright students
and I think
they’ll help
the scores a
bit,” Brown
said. “It’s
only fair
we get the
scores back
to the home Brown
schools.”
SOCSD Board Presi-
dent John Brown said he’s
proud of the effort each
board president put forth.
With the graduation rates
and test scores coming
back, he said it would ben-
efit every area district to
get those accountability
measures.
“I just think it’s fair for
everybody,” John Brown
said. “I’m glad for the con-
sistency and standardized
procedures, just like with
the Mississippi School for
Math and Science. I think
it will have a positive im-
pact on our district.”
LCSD Superintendent
Lynn Wright said he
doesn’t believe the scores
leaving the district will
negatively impact LCSD,
but he hopes it helps at
area districts.
“We don’t have any
problem with that,” Wright
said. “It
seems fair
to me for
(the scores)
to go back
to the home
schools. I
think it’s
Wright
going to be
a positive for all, scores
going back to their own
schools. They are go-
ing to get some scores
back from some students
that have developed (at
GTECHS). Hopefully it
will help them.”

Rollins
Continued from Page 1A
lumbus Exchange Club’s
weekly luncheon at Lion
Hills Center Thursday.
“Organ donation was
not on my radar until it
was,” she said. “I was not
even an organ donor un-
til my daughter was born
with this disease, and
that’s why I’m so passion-
ate about advocating, be-
cause Mississippi is one
of the least-registered
organ donor states in the
country.”
As of Wednesday night,
she said, 113,234 people
in the country were on the
waiting list for an organ,
nearly 2,000 of whom are
children, she said.
“There’s a name add-
ed to the organ donor list
every 10 minutes, and
approximately 22 peo-
ple a day die waiting on
a life-saving organ that
never comes,” she said.
“That’s about 8,000 peo-
ple per year, including
children.”
Adeline was initially
on that list, Rollins said.
Doctors at Children’s
Healthcare of Atlanta
told the Rollins’ that it
wasn’t usually difficult to
get organs. Then Atlanta
went through “a drought,”
and Rollins went through
the surgery to save her
daughter’s life.
“She recovered quick-
er than I did,” Rollins
remembered. “... At the
11-day mark, she was a
different child. ... It was
like she was reborn.”
Not everyone is as
lucky. One doctor told
Rollins and her husband
that one-third of children
born with biliary atresia
die from the disease.
That’s why she encour-
ages everyone to be an or-
gan donor, she said. About
25 percent of donors aren’t
blood relatives — Rollins
knows families who found
donors through social me-
dia when parents weren’t
matches for children.
Rollins also dispelled
several “myths” about
donating organs. She
said she’s heard people
claim they don’t want to
register to be an organ
donor because doctors
will not work as hard to
save a donor’s life, which
isn’t true — doctors of-
ten don’t even know the
patient they’re operating
on is an organ donor. She
also said it’s usually fam-
ilies of the deceased indi-
vidual who decide what
organs the individual will
donate, which includes
organs and tissues rang-
ing from skin and bone
to the cornea — the most
commonly donated tissue,
she said. One organ donor
who dies can save up to
eight lives.
Rollins added live do-
nors can donate part of
their liver, like she did, as
well as kidneys, bone mar-
row and of course blood.
Rollins also talked
briefly about her work to
raise money for research
into biliary atresia. She
and three other “liver
moms” in the Atlanta
area hosted an art auction
last month which raised
$45,000 for the hospital’s
research into finding both
the cause and cure for the
liver disease.
“I’m not sure if you’ve
ever seen someone in liv-
er failure, but it is one of
the most excruciating and
painful ways you can die,
and one of the most pro-
longed,” Rollins said.
“Liver disease does not
discriminate,” she added.
“It is not just a disease
that affects adults that
have done something to
cause damage to their
liver. It affects these ba-
bies that were born just
wanting the basics in life
... and then they have to
go through the unimag- cdispatch.com
inable.”

City worker, neighbor save teen
trapped inside burning home
PICAYUNE — A city worker in Mis-
sissippi was passing by a home when he
noticed it was on fire and saved a girl
inside who had woken up to find smoke
filling her room.
The Picayune Item reports Stanley
Hart saw smoke coming from the house
Tuesday morning. Hart and a neighbor,
Mark Jones, arrived to find a 15-year-old
girl inside who was knocking on the win-
dow for help to get out.
Hart called 911, and then he and Jones
broke the window with a cinder block to
rescue the teen. Fire officials say the ini-
tial investigation shows the fire started
near the kitchen stove.
The 15-year-old was airlifted to a hos-
pital in New Orleans. Her condition isn’t
known. No one else was in the home at
the time of the fire.

Testimony over Mississippi’s mental health system continues

Federal government’s lawsuit argues Mississippi violates
the Americans with Disabilities Act by relying too much
on state mental hospitals, while providing insufficient
and uneven community services
By JEFF AMY
The Associated Press
JACKSON — A coun-
ty sheriff says he holds
mentally ill people in
jail because a communi-
ty mental health center
can’t respond in time. A
woman says her cousin
would like to live closer to
his hometown in the Mis-
sissippi Delta but hasn’t
been able to find a place.
A father says his daugh-
ter has spent 12 years in
mental hospitals because
the state didn’t create
community housing that
could accommodate until
last year.
Those are among wit-
nesses who testified this
week as part of the feder-
al government’s lawsuit
arguing Mississippi vio-
lates the Americans with
Disabilities Act by relying
too much on state mental
hospitals, while providing
insufficient and uneven
community services. U.S.
District Judge Carlton
Reeves is hearing testi-
mony without a jury in the
case. A decision is unlike-
ly before late this year.
The federal govern-
ment wants Reeves to or-
der changes.
The state argues that
it’s not breaking the law
and that the federal gov-
ernment is seeking overly
extensive and expensive
changes. The state also
argues mental hospitals

woman whose death has
been blamed on a police
officer is demanding $5
million from the city of
Oxford, Mississippi.
Matthew Kinne is
charged with murdering
Dominique Clayton in
May and has been fired

Relatives said they
were romantically in-

Bulldog Baseball: Seems like old times
In 1985, I made
my first and only
trip to Omaha,
Nebraska, for the
College World
Series.
I packed heavy,
certain I would be
there for awhile.
For 13 days, I
covered Mississippi
State ballgames,
watched it rain Slim Smith
(and rain and rain),
played endless rounds of
putt-putt golf on the Holiday
Inn’s indoor course, imbibed
well into the night at the hotel
hospitality room, even took
an excursion to Ak-Sar-Ben
(Nebraska spelled backward)
to watch the horse races.
Rainouts were frequent that team in the Bulldogs’ long,
year, which extended the stay.
But I could easily have been
there for another few days,
were it not for a single play in
the second inning of the Bull-
dogs’ game against Texas.
On Sunday, Mississippi
State will open play in its 11th
College World Series and,
along with Arkan-
sas, last year’s
runner-up, and
Vanderbilt, the SEC
champion, is among
the favorites to
claim the title.
It’s a battle-test-
ed, tough Bulldog
club with an abun-
dance of hitting
(.317 team batting
average), two out-
standing starting
pitchers (National Pitcher
of the Year Ethan Small and
Freshman pitcher of the year
JT Ginn) and a standout closer
(Cole Gordon).
In those respects it is sim-
ilar to that 1985 team, which
I believe is the most talented
proud history.
That team included four
future Major League All-Stars
(first baseman Will Clark, left
fielder Rafael Palmeiro, start-
ing pitcher Jeff Brantley and
closer Bobby Thigpen), along
with a talented group of other
players, most notably starting
pitcher Gene Morgan.
The Bulldogs had spent
much of that year ranked No.
1 and rolled into Omaha with
the look of a champion.
They pounded Oklaho-
ma State in Game 1, edged
Arkansas in Game 2 and took
on Texas in the third game
needing a win to play in the
championship game.
State jumped out to a 2-0
lead and Morgan had yielded
just one hit going into the fifth
inning.
Then, Morgan took a line
drive off his left ankle. Al-
though he remained in the
game, he was not the same
pitcher and Texas surged,
beating MSU 12-7.
In the elimination game the
next day Thigpen gave up a
ninth-inning home run against
Miami in a 6-5 loss. The
Bulldogs’ season ended with a
third-place finish. Miami beat
Texas for the title two days
later.
It’ wasn’t until 2013 that the
Bulldogs got that far. MSU
made it to the best-of-three
championship in the new for-
mat, but lost twice to UCLA to
finish national runner-up. Last
year, State needed just one
win against Oregon State to
again reach the championship
series, but lost to the Beavers
twice. Oregon State went on to
win the title.
This year, the expectations
are as high as they’ve been
since 1985.
But as that 1985 CWS
reminds us, baseball is not
scripted. Things happen that
cannot be accounted for, no
matter how talented a team
may be. Remember, last year,
Arkansas was a dropped pop-
up away from winning the
title.
In 1985, a line drive that
might have been hit a couple
of inches one way or the other
and missed Morgan’s leg,
changed the course of the sea-
son for the most talented team
in MSU history.
Who knows but what a sim-
ilar misfortune may await the
Bulldogs this year.
On the other hand, the
fates may turn in MSU’s favor.
Maybe the Bulldogs are due
for a good break. Karma, and
all that, you know.
That’s what makes the CWS
so compelling.
There are eight very good
teams competing for the title.
But the winner is often decid-
ed by an unpredictable event.
Don’t be surprised it that’s the
way it turns out this year, too.
The Holiday Inn where I
spent 13 days is long gone. So,
too, is the ballpark where cru-
el fate ended in the Bulldogs’
title hopes. Ak-Sar-Ben was
demolished 15 years ago. The
young sportswriters I bonded
with late into those Nebras-
ka nights 33 years ago have
moved on. Many have retired.
I’m not getting any younger,
myself.
But the Bulldogs are back
in Omaha and much is expect-
ed of them.
It seems like old times.

When will Congress

address suffering
at the border?
Last week, as American and Mexican officials
haggled over how to address the migrant crisis at
their countries’ shared border, United States Customs
and Border Protection released its monthly migration
statistics. They tell an alarming story.
In May, 144,278 migrants were taken into custody.
It was the third consecutive month in which appre-
hensions topped 100,000 and the highest one-month
total in 13 years.
Unequipped to deal with the crush, border fa-
cilities and migrant shelters are dangerously over-
crowded, and the staff is overburdened. Dysfunction,
disease and even death are a growing reality.
“We are in a full-blown emergency, and I cannot
say this stronger: The system is broken,” the acting
commissioner of Customs and Border Protection,
John Sanders, said.
Also last week, officials said that the Office of Refu-
gee Resettlement, the agency assigned to care for un-
accompanied migrant children, would begin cutting
services “not directly necessary for the protection of
life and safety.” This includes English classes, legal
aid and recreational programs.
Democrats and other administration critics called
the move “cruel” and “illegal,” but the financial reality
is that the agency is overwhelmed. So far this fiscal
year, it has taken charge of nearly 41,000 unaccompa-
nied children — a 57 percent increase over last year.
The entire program could run out of funding by the
end of June.
In short, it is time for Congress to stop dithering
and pass emergency funding to deal with this night-
mare.
It has been more than a month since the admin-
istration sent Congress a request for $4.5 billion in
additional border assistance. A large portion of the
money, $3.3 billion, was earmarked for humanitarian
aid — which most lawmakers agree is sorely needed.
But a relatively modest piece of the request aimed
at shoring up border security operations, roughly a
quarter of the total, has tied negotiators in knots.
Early on, Democrats were opposed to funding addi-
tional detention beds for Immigration and Customs
Enforcement. Republicans had problems with Dem-
ocrats’ demands for changes in the administration’s
asylum policies. At one point, negotiators thought
they were close to resolving these conflicts, only to
have other issues snarl the process. Beyond the mon-
ey for security, one of the remaining disagreements is
how much data sharing will be allowed between the
agencies responsible for caring for migrant children
and those that handle border enforcement.
The broader problem is that many Democrats
have come to view the Trump administration as
untrustworthy, and they are loath to hand over one
more penny for anything to do with immigration.
Members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and
the Congressional Progressive Caucus have been
particularly adamant, insisting that their leadership
take a hard line in negotiations. In part, they fear that
the administration, despite its promises, will spend
any additional funding on enforcement rather than
humanitarian needs.
There is much to despise about this administra-
tion’s immigration policies, which are exacerbating
this crisis, but there should be no ambivalence about
the urgency of addressing the humanitarian needs.
While lawmakers wring their hands and drag their
feet, tens of thousands of migrant children are suffer-
ing.
Congress needs to get serious about dealing with
that suffering.

didates, former Sen. Mike Gravel of
Alaska and Miramar, Florida, May-
or Wayne Messam, also missed the
cutoff, announced Thursday.
U.S. Sen. Michael Bennet of Col-
orado and New York Mayor Bill de
Blasio, who recently had been on
the bubble, both made the debate
based on polling measures.
The campaign’s opening de-
bates, set for June 26-27 in Miami,
will offer a prime opportunity for
many White House hopefuls to
reshape a race defined in recent
weeks by former Vice President Joe
Biden’s domination of national and
many early state polls.
An NBC News drawing Friday
will divide the large field between
the first and second debate night.
Party officials have promised to
weight the drawing with the in-
tention of ensuring that top tier
and lagging candidates are spread
roughly evenly over the two nights.
Those assignments will de-
termine the debate strategies for
many campaigns. Candidates will
have to decide whether to go after
front-runners such as Biden, chal-
lenge others in the pack or stand
out by remaining above the fray.
They must also decide how much to
focus on President Donald Trump.
Some candidates have criticized
the debate-qualifying rules that the
party chairman, Tom Perez, set this
year. The polling and fundraising
thresholds will remain the same for
the July debates over two nights in
Detroit .
Bullock’s campaign insists he
has reached a party benchmark of a
minimum 1 percent in at least three
polls by approved organizations.
But party officials say Bullock is
wrongly counting a Washington
Post-ABC poll from February.
He said Thursday that he was
“certainly disappointed” by the
DNC’s decision.
“But the greater point really is
also that I’m the only one in the field
that’s actually won in a Trump state,
and we need to win back some of
the places we’ve lost,” he said on
MSNBC.
The polling and fundraising
marks will double for the third and
fourth debates in September and
October. Candidates will have to
meet both marks instead of one or
the other. That means 2 percent in
the approved polls and a donor list
of at least 130,000 unique contribu-
tors.

Jury sentences father to death for killing his 5 children

‘No mercy was shown to the kids, but
justice was done in this case.’
By JEFFREY COLLINS
The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, S.C. — A
South Carolina father was
sentenced to death Thurs-
day for killing his five chil-
dren with his own hands.
After they were dead, he
drove around with their
bodies for nine days be-
fore dumping them in gar-
bage bags on the side of
an Alabama dirt road.
Timothy Jones Jr.
showed no emotion as the
jury delivered the verdict
after less than two hours
of deliberation. They also
could have sentenced him
to life without parole.
Solicitor Rick Hubbard
The same Lexington
County jury convicted
Jones of five counts of
murder last week in the
deaths of his children,
ages 1 to 8, in their Lex-
ington home in August
2014.
Prosecutors pushed
for a death sentence. So-
licitor Rick Hubbard said
in his closing argument
earlier Thursday that if
any jurors had doubts
whether Jones deserved
the death penalty, they
should just consider the
five garbage bags where
he dumped their bodies
in rural Alabama.
But a lawyer for Jones
told jurors they alone
could show mercy — if not
for a father who killed five
kids with his own hands,
then for a family that has
seen so much death and
still wants to love Jones,
even through prison bars.
Jones’ father hung his
head in his hands as the
verdict was read and oth-
er family members ap-
peared to cry. Afterward,
Jones’ family left without
speaking to reporters.
The defense indicated
they would appeal.
Hubbard said after
the trial, “No mercy was
shown to the kids, but
justice was done in this
case.”
Jones is just the second
person to be sent to South
Carolina’s death row in
five years. The state has
not executed anyone
since 2011 and lacks the
drugs to carry out lethal
injection.
Hubbard said in his
closing argument that
Jones, 37, has been self-
ish all his life, trying to
break up his father’s sec-
ond marriage because
he wasn’t getting enough
attention and controlling
his wife’s every decision.
When his wife left
him, Hubbard said, Jones
couldn’t stand that his
control was over. With
custody of his children,
the computer engineer
with an $80,000-a-year
job mistreated any of
them who showed any in-
tention of wanting to be
with their mother instead
of him, Hubbard said.

Prosecutors drop Flint water charges, promise fresh probe

Decision came more than three years after authorities
began examining the roots of the scandal that left Flint’s
water system tainted with lead
The Associated Press
DETROIT — Prosecu-
tors dropped all criminal
charges Thursday against
eight people in the Flint
water crisis and pledged
to start from scratch the
investigation into one of
the worst man-made envi-
ronmental disasters in U.S.
history.
The stunning decision
came more than three
years — and millions of dol-
lars — after authorities be-
gan examining the roots of
the scandal that left Flint’s
water system tainted with
lead. Michigan Solicitor
General Fadwa Hammoud,
who took control of the
investigation in January
after the election of a new
attorney general, said “all
available evidence was not
pursued” by the previous
team of prosecutors.
Officials took posses-
sion this week of “millions
of documents and hun-
dreds of new electronic
devices, significantly ex-
panding the scope of our
investigation,” Hammoud
and Wayne County prose-
cutor Kym Worthy said in
a statement.
The efforts “have pro-
duced the most compre-
hensive body of evidence
to date related to the Flint
water crisis,” they said,
putting investigators “in
the best possible position
to find the answers the citi-
zens of Flint deserve.”
Hammoud’s team re-
cently used search war-
rants to get state-owned
mobile devices of former
Gov. Rick Snyder and 66
other people from storage.
Among those who had
charges dismissed: Michi-
gan’s former health direc-
tor, Nick Lyon, who was
accused of involuntary
manslaughter for allegedly
failing to alert the public in
a timely fashion about an
outbreak of Legionnaires’
disease when Flint was
drawing improperly treat-
ed water from the Flint Riv-
er in 2014 and 2015.

The new flight was a
big hit with Thursday trav-

“This flight allows me to

Columbus several times a
year for his software com-
pany, DealerSocket. “Also,
it prevents me from having

pi landmark status in Au-
gust 1983.
However, Michelle
Jones, an architectural
historian with MDAH and
Starkville resident, said
the request for landmark
de-designation applies to
a portion of the large par-
cel the Magruder-New-
som House sits on, and
not the building itself.
The lot the home sits
on stretches from South
Jackson Street in the
front to Lafayette Street
behind the home. Jones
noted that most of the
surrounding properties
have been subdivided,
and there’s interest from
a potential buyer in using
the part of lot that’s cur-
rently vacant.
“When that designa-
tion was made, it was
for the entire property
(including the home),”
she said. “At this point,
it’s been in private own-
ership for a while and
there’s a potential buyer
who would like to devel-
op the western side of
the lot. The Mississippi
Department of Archives
would rather not admin-
ister regulations to new
construction.”

“It’s really convenient

ing for a flight, especially
when you’re flying out of
smaller airports.”
Hainsey said the bene-
fits of the extra flight ex-
tend to passengers who
aren’t even on it.
“I think it’s going to
reduce the over-booking
we have,” Hainsey said.
“I also think some of the
other flights will be less
crowded. It’s another op-
tion for our customers.
This new flight means you

MSU not looking for moral victories at CWS

Mangum: ‘I did not come back here just to make it to Omaha’
BY BEN PORTNOY
bportnoy@cdispatch.com
STARKVILLE — Elijah MacNamee
sat at the foot of his locker at TD Amer-
itrade Park with a somber look on his
face.
Minutes earlier, Mississippi State
had been eliminated from the 2018 Col-
lege World Series by way of a 5-2 defeat
to eventual national champion Oregon
State.
And while the emotion of the moment
bore down on him, he was succinct and
direct in his response to a reporter.
“We will be here, back next year,” he
said. “We will win the national champi-
onship. Mark my words.”
One year later, a part of MacNamee’s
prediction has already come true. MSU
is back in the Omaha, Nebraska proving
rounds of the CWS, where the Bulldogs
are but a handful of victories away from
bringing home the program’s first na-
tional title.

COLLEGE WORLD SERIES ON THE SPEEDWAY

Breaking down

State’s road to CWS final

two other SEC teams

For the second time in as many years,

Mississippi State baseball team is heading
to the College World Series.
After dispatching of Southern Univer-
sity, Central Michigan and Miami in the
Starkville Regional, MSU swept Stanford
in the Super Regional to reach Omaha.
Joining the sixth-seeded Bulldogs on
their side of the bracket are No. 2 seed Van-
derbilt, No. 7 seed Louisville and South-
eastern Conference Western Division foe
Auburn.
MSU will take on Auburn in its opening

bracket will bring to the CWS:

Auburn (38-26, SEC)

MSU’s first opponent is a common one.
The Bulldogs and Tigers battled through a
three-game set in Starkville March 22-24.
After dropping the first game, 6-5, MSU
won the final two games of the series — in-
cluding a 20-15 slugfest in the final contest.
Auburn comes into the week having de-
feated No. 14 seed
North Carolina in
the Chapel Hill Su-
per Regional and
escaping No. 3 seed
Georgia Tech in the
Atlanta Regional.
At the plate,
the Tigers’ offense is limited. Not a single
player in the projected starting lineup is
averaging better than .287, nor has anyone
notched more than nine home runs on the
year.
That said, Auburn is fairly dangerous
once on the base paths. Ryan Bliss, Kason
Howell and Will Holland each boast 11 or
more stolen bases this season.

Race promoter doesn’t raise the prize money to
cover planned weekend races at Columbus Speedway
By DAVID MILLER
Special to The Dispatch
The Mud Bug Classic is officially
canceled.
Columbus Speedway promoter Rod
Taylor announced the cancellation
via the track’s Facebook page, citing
a failure of race promoter Charles Ev-
ans, who agreed to lease the track, to
secure the required prize money —
more than $100,000 for six divisions
— that had been advertised for over a
month.
The Mud Bug Classic would have
been a two-day show, with Super Late
Models and Southern Winged Mod-
ifieds — a novelty division that has
never run in Mississippi, Taylor said
— set for cornerstone features that
would have started tonight.
“(Evans’) intention was to show up
with $16,000 on a $105,000 purse, and
I wasn’t going to be a part of it,” Taylor
said. “I needed a guarantee everyone
would get paid. He wanted to postpone
it, but the weather is perfect … these
racers aren’t stupid.
“I want to apologize to the race fans
and all the racers,” he added. “This
decision was out of my control.”
Taylor said Evans cited a bounced
check from a title sponsor as the
reason for the cancellation. Taylor,
though, said Evans had never previ-
ously mentioned a title sponsor or how
much the sponsor was covering. Mar-
keting materials never included a title
sponsor, though Evans’ “CRE Promo-
tions” was included in web graphics.
Evans didn’t respond to text mes-
sages or Facebook messages to his
personal page and the page for the
Southern Winged Modified Tour, for
which he is the promoter. Taylor said
Evans announced the cancellation on
Facebook earlier this week but has
since deleted that post.
Taylor still doesn’t know the name
of the title sponsor, but he said Dan
Cox, an Alabama-based racer who
was helping Evans promote the race,
verified the bounced check.
“I told (Evans) that, if it were me,
that sponsor’s name and a picture
of that check would be out there so
no one gets involved with them ever
again,” Taylor said. “Other promoters
need to know.”
The race was initially postponed
five weeks ago due to weather. The
payouts for the first go-round were a
bit more modest: a $4,000-to-win fea-

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL SOCCER

Dodgers outslug Cubs with 4 Nations League

homers to win 7-3 winner Portugal rises
The Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Cody Bell-

inger’s recent 0-for-13 slump ap-
pears to have been a mere blip in a
memorable season so far.
Bellinger hit a pair of home
runs, Max Muncy and David Fre-
ese each added a two-run shot and
the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the
Chicago Cubs 7-3 Thursday night
in the opener of a four-game se-
ries.
The leading vote-getter in All-
Star balloting, Bellinger is batting
.358 with 22 homers and 57 RBIs.
The slugger ended his skid at
the plate in a loss at the Angels
earlier this week. Now he’s back
home, where Bellinger has 14
homers and has hit safely in 28 of
32 games.
“A lot of work in the cage and
tried to get back to where I was,”
he said. “We’re good at bouncing
back and forgetting about the
past, treat every day like it’s a new
day.”
Bellinger belted a two-run ho-
mer in the fourth inning. He add-
ed a solo shot in the seventh and
drew chants of “MVP! MVP!”
“Just don’t think of him as a hit-
ter — he’s a great athlete,” Cubs
manager Joe Maddon said. “He
plays all over the place, he plays
every position well, he can run.”
The NL West-leading Dodgers
rallied from a 3-0 deficit after Kyle
Schwarber and Kris Bryant hit
leadoff homers against Clayton
Kershaw in the early innings.
The Cubs arrived in Los Ange-
les having just ended a five-game
road skid, but they’ve lost eight
of 10 away from home. The loss
dropped them a game behind the
NL Central-leading Milwaukee
Brewers, who were idle.
It wasn’t a great night for either
team’s left-handed ace.
Jon Lester, a three-time World
Series champion, gave up three
homers. Kershaw, a three-time
NL Cy Young Award winner, al-
lowed two.
Kershaw (6-1) yielded three
runs and seven hits in six innings.
He struck out eight and walked
two.
“It’s not great, but you can live
with that,” Kershaw said.
Julio Urias earned his third
save with three scoreless innings
of relief.
Lester (5-5) gave up six runs
and nine hits in five innings. He
struck out seven and walked one.
“They’ve got great hitters,” he
said. “Bellinger’s probably one of
the better hitters I’ve seen, as far
as his approach and not chasing,
playing the game and doing all
that.”
Lester got hit in the left foot by
a comebacker from Freese in the
fourth and said it was sore after
the game.
Schwarber’s homer came on
the first pitch of the game and
Willson Contreras added an RBI
single in the first.
Bryant hit his 14th homer in
the third.
Lester retired 10 of his first 11
batters before getting hit hard in
the fifth. With one out, he allowed
five consecutive hits — including
two-run homers by Bellinger and
Muncy — that gave the Dodgers
a 4-3 lead.
The Cubs turned a double play
to escape the inning.
“It’s great when those lefties
get going like that against Lester,”
Kershaw said.
Freese slugged a two-run shot
off Lester with two outs in the
fifth, extending the lead to 6-3.

Thursday’s Sports in Brief
BASEBALL
SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Re-
public — American prosecutors said
they believe two suspects in the shooting
of retired Red Sox star David Ortiz are
wanted for crimes in the United States,
while the father of another suspect said
his son belongs to a notorious Domini-
can gang of drug-dealing hitmen.
Ortiz was shot in the back at a bar
in the Dominican Republic on Sunday.
Dominican officials announced Wednes-
day that they had detained the suspect-
ed gunman and five accomplices. Ortiz
is now in a Boston hospital recovering
from surgery in both the Dominican Re-
public and Boston.
Prosecutors in New Jersey said that
a bench warrant on armed robbery and
gun charges has been issued for the
man who authorities in the Dominican
Republic say pulled the trigger. Mean-
while, a Pennsylvania prosecutor said
he believes another suspect in the Ortiz
shooting is wanted for attempted homi-
cide in the state.
A grand jury has indicted Rolfi Ferrei-
ra-Cruz in connection with two armed
robberies in Clifton, New Jersey, in 2017,
according to news release from the Pas-
saic County Prosecutor’s Office. The
25-year-old from Reading, Pennsylvania,
has never been apprehended on those
charges.
ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Los
Angeles Angels star Shohei Ohtani be-
came the first Japanese player to hit for
the cycle in the majors.
Ohtani completed his cycle with a
single in the seventh inning of a 5-3
win over the Tampa Bay Rays. He is the
first Angels player to accomplish the
feat since Mike Trout on May 21, 2013
against the Seattle Mariners.
It’s the eighth cycle in team history.
Ohtani hit a three-run homer in the
first inning, doubled in the third and
tripled during the fifth. He flared a 3-2
pitch into right-center field against right-
hander Hunter Wood in the seventh and
received a standing ovation from the
fans at Tropicana Field.
SOCCER
MEXICO CITY — Citing medical
reasons, former soccer star Diego Ma-
radona stepped down as coach of the
Sinaloa Dorados of Mexico’s second di-
vision.
The 58-year-old Maradona took over
in September and took the team that
was near the bottom in the standings to
consecutive final series in the Apertura
2018 and Clausura 2019 tournaments.
Both times, the team fell to Atletico
San Luis, which reached the top flight.
In January, Maradona was admitted
to a hospital in Argentina suffering from
stomach bleeding, just a few days before
returning to Mexico for his second sea-
son with Dorados.
COLLEGE BASKETBALL
ORLANDO, Fla. — A key NCAA of-
ficial says six schools are going to be
facing allegations of Level I violations as
early as next month, the latest fallout in
the college basketball corruption scan-
dal.
Stan Wilcox, vice president for reg-
ulatory affairs for the NCAA, told CBS
Sports two high-profile programs will
be notified in early July, the others at a
later date.
Level I violations can include such
punishments as scholarship reductions,
postseason bans and show-cause orders
against coaches.
NCAA officials said in a statement
that it’s likely even more schools will be
notified of violations.

MSU
Continued from Page 1B
Enter redshirt junior Ethan Small
who, one season after he finished 5-4
with a 3.20 ERA, has been a revelation
as the staff ace. The 2019 Southeastern
Conference Pitcher of the Year — who
has also won national pitching honors —
Small is 10-2 with a 1.76 ERA in 17 starts
this season. He also ranks first on the na-
tional strikeout charts this year with 168.
“He’s one of the main reasons we’re
going to Omaha,” MSU coach Chris Le-
monis said.
SEC Freshman of the Year JT Ginn
has also made his presence known as
the No. 2 starter. Though he has battled
arm soreness of late, the dazzling right-
hander currently boasts a 3.36 ERA in 16
starts.
Pilkington and Billingsley were far
from what Ginn has afforded MSU as nei-
ther held an ERA better than 4.45.
Beyond the numbers, it’s worth not-
ing the seasonal narrative. Former coach
Andy Cannizaro was relieved of his du-
ties early in 2018, leaving Gary Hender-
son as the interim coach.
With the distractions of a coaching
change, the team began the year 14-15
and 2-7 in the SEC. A CWS appearance
was far from the players’ minds — even
reaching the NCAA tournament looked
implausible to that point.
But after rattling off a 17-10 record
over the final two months of the season
to reach the postseason, MSU escaped
the Tallahassee Regional and Nashville
Super Regional thanks to awe-inspiring
walk-off home runs from MacNamee.
Once in Omaha, the Bulldogs fell
short – one win to be exact — from play-
ing for a national title when they lost to
the eventual champion Oregon State Bea-
vers in the semifinal round.
“Last year, we were hung out to dry in
early April,” Mangum said. “No one had
any confidence in us, and we had to prove
a lot of people wrong.”
In comparison, Lemonis’ first year at
the helm in Starkville has seen the Bull-
dogs steamroll their competition. MSU
finished the year 15-0 in midweek play
and tied No. 5 seed Arkansas for a share
of the SEC West Division crown.
Behind a potent offense and a consis-
tent pitching staff, the Bulldogs have lost
back-to-back games just three times in
the regular season — all of which came
against SEC competition.
Slated as the No. 6 seed in a bracket
that includes No. 2 seed Vanderbilt, No.
7 seed Louisville and unseeded Auburn,
MSU is not in Omaha for moral victories.
Following a game two win over No. 11
Stanford in the Super Regional that sent
MSU to the CWS, Mangum was asked
what the differences between the two
teams were. Like MacNamee at his lock-
er a year ago, he was to the point.
“This year, we just kind of stayed the
course and played well all year,” he said.
“I can speak for myself here, I did not
come back here (for my senior year) just
to make it to Omaha. We are trying to win
a National Championship. We are one
step closer, and we have got work to do.”

SEC Are You Ready

Edouard Julien and Rankin Wo-
ley possess extra-base hit ability as
they have combined for 31 doubles
in 2019. Julien also leads the team in
slugging percentage at .435.
On the mound, Tanner Burns will
anchor the Auburn pitching staff as
presumed weekend starter. Davis
Daniel has been sidelined for almost
all of this season with an arm injury
and underwent Tommy John surgery
in April.
Burns has battled arm sore-
ness this season but has responded
strongly. He is 4-3 with a 2.73 ERA in
15 starts and leads the team with 79
innings pitched.
Jack Owen has been the second
best arm for coach Butch Thomp-
son. Owen boasts a 2.83 ERA in nine
starts this season. He has thrown 8
2/3 innings in the NCAA tourna-
ment.
Cody Greenhill and Will Morri-
son will factor in out of the bullpen as
each have 24 or more relief appear-

Hickman, Patrick Raby and Drake

in strikeouts at 120.
Tyler Brown, Jake Eder and Ethan
Smith should
figure into
relief roles.
Hugh Fish-
er and Zach

also appear

At the plate, the Commodores

home runs on the year.

hands on his head on a night
Splash Brother Klay Thomp-
son suffered a torn ACL in his
left knee and departed with 30
points.
Fred VanVleet rescued the
Raptors down the stretch with
his dazzling shooting from
deep to score 22 points with five
3s off the bench, while Leonard
wound up with 22 points. Kyle
Lowry scored the game’s first
eight points and finished with
26 in all to go with 10 assists
and seven rebounds.
Fans poured into the streets
in Toronto, screaming and
honking horns after the Rap-
tors pulled off a third straight
win on Golden State’s home
floor that said goodbye to NBA
basketball after 47 seasons.
And the Raptors did it with the
very kind of depth that helped
define Golden State’s transfor-
mation into a dynasty the past
five seasons.
This time, the Warriors
were wounded.
Golden State already was
down two-time reigning NBA
Finals MVP Kevin Durant,
who had surgery Wednesday
for a ruptured right Achilles
tendon. Then, the Warriors lost
Thompson — and they couldn’t
overcome just one more heart-
breaking injury.
This thrilling back-and-
forth game featured 18 lead
changes, nine ties and neither
team going ahead by more than
nine points.
Curry scored 21 points but
shot just 6 for 17 and went 3 of
11 on 3s. Iguodala added 22 for
his biggest game this postsea-
son as the Warriors did every-
thing until the very last mo-
ment to leave a lasting legacy
at Oracle.
Thompson provided his own
dramatic memory. He injured
his knee when fouled by Dan-
ny Green on a drive at the 2:22
mark of the third, was helped
off the court and walked par-
tially down a tunnel toward the
locker room, then — shocking-
ly — re-emerged to shoot his
free throws before going out
again at 2:19. He didn’t return
and left the arena on crutches,
and the Warriors announced
that an MRI had confirmed the
torn ACL.
“More than the what-ifs is
just feeling bad for the players
involved. Injuries are always
part of the NBA season — any
professional sport, injuries play
a huge role,” Warriors coach
Steve Kerr said. “It’s just the
nature of these injuries, the
severity of these injuries. And
we’ll know more about Klay.
But we can sit here and say,
well, if this hadn’t happened
or that hadn’t happened, that
doesn’t matter. What matters is
Kevin Durant is going to miss
next season with an Achilles
tear and Klay suffered a knee
injury.”
In their best Bay Area ver-
sion of Jurassic Park — Toron-
to’s jam-packed gathering spot
to cheer the Raptors — hun-
dreds of red-clad fans stayed
long after the game ended to
watch the Larry O’Brien tro-
phy ceremony. They waved the
Maple Leaf and sang “O Cana-
da” just as they did here after
winning previously this series.
Lowry’s hot start was al-
most fitting. It was the Toronto
guard who got shoved on the
sideline in Game 3 by Warriors
minority owner Mark Stevens,
now banned by the league and
team for a year.
The Raptors, in their 24th
season of existence, rallied
from two games down to beat
the Bucks in the Eastern Con-
ference finals then took down
the mighty Warriors on their
home floor to deny Golden
State a three-peat.
The Raptors went 8 for 32 on
3s in a 106-105 Game 5 defeat
as the Warriors staved off elim-
ination Monday in Toronto.
They started 5 of 6 from long

Curry and these Warriors
never, ever count themselves
out. Yet down 3-1 in their fifth
straight NBA Finals, they
didn’t have the health it took
to win the past two titles and
three of the past four against
LeBron James and the Cleve-
land Cavaliers.
“This five-year run’s been
awesome but I definitely don’t
think it’s over,” Curry said.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June
14). The next 10 weeks your
life will be like a song. The best
part is that you get to be the DJ
who decides which one. There’s
nothing standing in the way
of your ability to create your des-
tiny. Your appetite for education
strengthens in September.
You’ll apply it to organize finan-
cial structure that will support
you in years to come. Scorpio
and Aries adore you. Your lucky
numbers are: 40, 38, 44, 49
BABY BLUES and 15.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
You’ll stumble across informa-
tion that perhaps wasn’t intend-
ed for you, at least not by its
keeper. But from the perspec-
tive of universal consciousness,
of course it was meant for you.
Otherwise you wouldn’t have it.
BEETLE BAILEY
MALLARD FILLMORE
FAMILY CIRCUS
TAURUS (April 20-May 20).
Everyone around you is seeking
to be understood. Though you
want this, too, you’re willing to
take a break from the quest
so you can focus on others.
You’ll learn something about
human nature that will help the
crusade.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
Why would you expect yourself
to do the work of a master when
you’ve only just begun to learn
the craft? Because someone
has made it look easy, that’s
why. Mastery often does appear
that way. Be patient with
yourself.
CANCER (June 22-July
22). You’re open to love, but
you know better than to try
and extract it from anywhere
complicated. The best love is
the kind that’s made readily
available. You shouldn’t have to
go fracking for it.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your
heart swells to fill the moment.
This is how you love – elas-
tic-like. You’ve been known to
promise things in this state of
heightened feeling, but really,
you shouldn’t have to. Your big
love is enough. Really it is!
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.
22). Gold can be found in dirt,
in streams, in oceans, even
in the human body. Still, it’s
pretty rare to come across a big
nugget of it. Give what you’re
offering in a concentrated form
and it will be accepted as the
jackpot it is.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
You’ll feel the good feelings
because you decide to — no
other reason. Once you set your
mind to an idea, you become a
magnet for it. That idea organiz-
es your perception.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). People who are really
interested in others tend to
ask the great questions that go
straight to the essence of the
matter. They’ll sound brilliant
for just being curious... which,
actually, is what being brilliant is
all about.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Making things is the fun
part, especially in the begin-
ning stages when you’re full of
hope. It’s exciting to think about
what could be. The middle bit
— that’s where grit comes in.
Luckily, you have plenty of that
to draw on today.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan.
19). If you’re being honest,
you’ll notice that you’re actually
growing irritated by that activ-
ity that eats your hours and
doesn’t give back in terms of
pleasure or productivity. Time to
put that one to rest.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). It’s as though something
opens in you and the hard work
becomes effortless. This could
have to do with the adrenaline
released in a high-pressure
situation. Deadlines are good
that way.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). Pity doesn’t help. Helping
helps. And that, in a nutshell,
is why you’re so busy this
weekend. You can easily provide
what someone else is sorely
lacking, and it’s your pleasure
to do so.

All eyes are on you

skeptics seek tougher moves

‘They’re not dealing simply with a sin,
they’re dealing with a crime. They do
not have the power to forgive crimes.’
Thomas Groome, a professor at Boston
College’s School of Theology
By DAVID CRARY and
REGINA GARCIA CANO
The Associated Press
BALTIMORE — Under
intense public pressure,
the nation’s Roman Cath-
olic bishops approved new
steps this week to deal
more strongly with the
clergy sex-abuse crisis.
But activists and others
say the moves leave the
bishops in charge of po-
licing themselves and po-
tentially keep law enforce-
ment at arm’s length.
As their national
meeting in Baltimore
concluded Thursday,
leaders of the U.S. bish-
ops conference stopped
short of mandating that
lay experts such as law-
yers and criminal justice
professionals take part
in investigating clergy
accused of child molesta-
tion or other misconduct.
They also did not specify
a procedure for informing
police of abuse allegations
that come in over a newly
proposed hotline.

Southern Baptist leader bemoans abuse crisis, vows action

By JAY REEVES
and DAVID CRARY
The Associated Press
BIRMINGHAM, Ala-
bama — Sharing a stage
with tearful survivors of
sex abuse, the president
of the Southern Baptist
Convention apologized
Wednesday for the abuse
crisis besetting his denom-
ination and outlined an ar-
ray of steps to address it.
“We are broken-hearted
and angry,” said the Rev.
J.D. Greear as the largest
U.S. protestant denomi-
nation neared the end of
its two-day national meet-
ing. “Give us the courage
to make the changes that
genuine repentance re-
quires.”
In an impassioned
speech, preceded by
prayers of lamentation,
Greear blamed the crisis
on years of cover-ups. He
praised a new anti-abuse
curriculum being offered
to all SBC churches and
seminaries, and he said
the SBC must do better in
screening potential pas-
tors.
“Father, forgive us,” he
prayed after calling out a
litany of sins.
The Rev. Russell
Moore, head of the SBC’s
public policy arm, said the
abuse crisis is a result of sa-
tanic forces at work in the
church.
“The vital question
is what we will do next,”
Moore said during an ad-
dress.
Moments earlier, doz-
ens of abuse victims and
supporters stood during
a prayer for survivors of
sexual misconduct. Some
wept openly.
Abuse survivor Steph-
anie Davis stood onstage
and received a standing
ovation after a video pre-
sentation in which she re-
counted her experience.
Davis said she was abused
as a teen by a music min-
ister who went on to sem-
inary and kept working in
churches until last year.
“No one ever told me it
wasn’t my fault,” she said.
“We have to get this
right,” she said in the vid-
eo, urging the church to
stand with victims and to WHATZIT
