Mahoning Valley duo tops tournament

LORAIN — Sammy Cappelli of Poland and Eric Williams of Hubbard brought in a three-day total of 107.03 pounds of walleye to win the 2017 Cabela’s National Team Championship held on Lake Erie June 10.

The duo took home $25,000, a Ranger 620 outfitted with an Evinrude motor and a Power-Pole shallow water anchor. The team also won a second fully-equipped Ranger 620 for winning the Ranger Cup contingency, pushing their total winnings to more than $165,000.

“It’s an incredible feeling,” Cappelli said. “I have been fishing walleye tournaments for the past 25 years and qualified for the National Tournament Championship for the past 13 years and this is definitely my biggest win.”

Hawks send Howard to Hornets

ATLANTA (AP) — Dwight Howard’s Atlanta homecoming was short-lived.

The Charlotte Hornets have reached an agreement to acquire Howard from the Hawks.

The Hawks are sending Howard and the No. 31 overall pick in Thursday’s NBA draft to Charlotte for center Miles Plumlee, shooting guard Marco Belinelli and the 41st pick, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press. The person spoke on condition of anonymity Tuesday because the trade is not yet official. Howard, an eight-time All-Star and three-time NBA Defensive Player of the Year, will be playing for his third team in three seasons following a disappointing one-year return to his Atlanta hometown.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — College World Series teams have already matched the number of home runs in 2016 and are on pace to hit the most since the event moved to TD Ameritrade Park in 2011.
