The National Weather Service has now confirmed that 13 tornadoes struck Kentucky during the severe weather outbreak during the Memorial Day weekend that left five people dead. The tornadoes and straight-line wind events on Sunday, May 26 and Monday, May 27 led 26 counties and 12 cities to declare local states of emergency, while Gov. Andy Beshear issued one for the entire state, and another to activate Kentucky’s ban on price-gouging.

An aggressive baserunning decision in the Women's College World Series opener Thursday cost Alabama a go-ahead run in a loss to UCLA. In a pivotal moment during the top of the fifth inning, with two outs and the bases loaded for the Crimson Tide, Kenleigh Cahalan delivered a powerful hit to right-center field, scoring the game-tying run from third to make it a 1-1 score. But a bold baserunning move by Kali Heivilin resulted in an out at home, leaving two runners stranded. Alabama head coach Patrick Murphy defended the decision to send Heivilin home in an attempt to get the go-ahead run.

On Wednesday, the city offered the encampment dwellers seven days of shelter instead of three, which was the original offer turned down by the campers. “It would hardly be a worthwhile respite before they would find themselves back on the streets with no support, scattered,” Housekeys Action Network Denver, or HAND, posted on Instagram.
