The Arizona Daily Star Sportsmen’s Fund raises money so children from low-income households and active-military families can attend summer camp at little or no cost to their families.
Since 1947, the Sportsmen’s Fund has helped pay for 44,007 children to go to camp. We’re one of the oldest 501(c )(3) charities in Arizona and one of the most efficient, with 97 cents from every dollar going to send kids to camp.
We send local kids to weeklong YMCA, Boy Scout and Girl Scout overnight camps, as well as overnight camping at Camp Tatiyee for school-age children with special needs. Our goal is to raise $225,000 to send more than 500 kids to camp. So far, we’ve received 699 donations totaling $128,870.18 or just over 57% of our goal.
Your contribution to the Arizona Daily Star Sportsmen’s Fund Send a Kid to Camp Fund qualifies for the Arizona tax credit for donations to qualifying charitable organizations. Our code is 20450. Joint filers can donate up to $938 for 2024 taxes. Single filers can donate up to $470 for 2024 taxes.

There’s really no other way this was going to end.
Down a run to the preseason favorites, who had easily won the first two games of the series, Arizona did what it had done so many times this season in its final at-bat. But unlike the previous six, this one was for the last Pac-12 title.
Brendan Summerhill roped a 2-run double into the gap in right center with 1 out in the bottom of the 9th inning, scoring Tommy Splaine and Maddox Mihalakis to give the Wildcats a 4-3 victory over Oregon State on Saturday night at Hi Corbett Field.
It was the seventh walkoff win this season for Arizona (33-20, 20-10) and sixth in conference play. And Chip Hale had a feeling it was going to happen, telling player development director John DeRouin that Summerhill was going to gap one.

“I was right for once in my life,” Hale said. “Why not be a walkoff?”
As regular season champions, Arizona gets the No. 1 seed for next week’s Pac-12 Tournament at Scottsdale Stadium. The tourney begins Tuesday but the UA’s first game is 7 p.m. PT Wednesday against No. 9 Washington (19-29-1), with No. 6 Cal (34-18) on tap for Thursday at 7 p.m.
The Wildcats, picked in the preseason to finish ninth, advance to Friday’s semifinals with one victory.
OSU (41-13, 19-10) had taken a 3-2 lead in the top of the 9th when No. 9 hitter Jabin Trosky poked a ball inside the first base bag with two out, scoring Easton Talt from second. That came against Anthony ‘Tonko’ Susac, who came in with a man on first and one out for Cam Walty, who was masterful in going 8.1 innings.
“None of this happens without Cam Walty,” Hale said of the senior right-hander, who allowed six hits and struck out eight with no walks. “He kept us in the game.”

Walty allowed a 1-out double before exiting, then after Susac walked Talt he got Jacob Kreig to ground one sharply in the hole at short. Mason White dove on the outfield grass to glove it and then fired just in time to third to get the lead runner, with Richie Morales’ foot briefly coming off the bag but then back down before the runner reached. OSU challenged that play but lost, as it did in the 6th on an infield single by Summerhill that came around to score and tie the game at 2.
“I trust my guys, no matter what,” Walty said of his defense, which was charged with six errors in the series including four in Friday’s 16-1 loss. “I always tell them if they (mess) something up up, I’m like you’re making that play nine out of 10 times no matter what. So I know that next time you get that ball, I still trust you. You have to flush it and just go back and make the next play. And so knowing what we had to do today, I knew they were going to be ready.”
The UA was outscored 25-3 in the first two games, none of its pitchers looking effective while few batters made good contact. All that changed Saturday, with Walty’s cutter keeping an OSU team that was hitting .307 and averaging 12.4 runs during a 7-game win streak from mounting any major rallies.
“The cutter was probably the best that I’ve thrown all year,” Walty said. “And so when (pitching coach Kevin) Vance I knew that we were like I’m gonna pepper it all game.”
Arizona scored first, manufacturing a run in the bottom of the 2nd via a leadoff double by Garen Caulfield and then consecutive grounders to the right side by Andrew Cain and Adonys Guzman. OSU went up 2-1 in the 3rd on a 1-out RBI double from Travis Bazzana and a low liner to center that Casey Hintz—a pitcher forced into outfield duty because of numerous injuries—misplayed.

Walty stranded that runner, though, and five others including a man on third with 1 out in the 4th.
Arizona tied it in the 6th when Summerhill and Morales both opened with infield singles. White moved both into scoring position with a groundout and then Caulfield flied out deep enough to bring Summerhill home.
All five of Arizona’s runs in the series to that point had been scored on outs, and before the 9th the Wildcats were 2 for 20 with runners in scoring position.
“They’re a very good team,” Hale said of Oregon State, who will be the No. 2 seed in the Pac-12 Tournament. “They’re going to be one of the national seeds, for sure. We’re really proud to beat them to win the conference, but we’re going to see them in Phoenix. And obviously we’re staying in the same hotel so we’ll see a lot of them.”
In the 9th, Splaine led off and was hit by a pitch for the 12th time this season. It was the second hit batter of the game for OSU closer Bridger Holmes, who after Brandon Rogers struck out trying to sacrifice Splaine walked Mihalakis—who pinch hit for Hintz—and was pulled for Joey Mundt.
Mundt fell behind Summerhill 2-1 before throwing him a slider that he crushed into the deepest part of the field. He said he had prepared himself for such a situation going into the inning.
“I kinda knew where I was coming up in the order,” said Summerhill, a sophomore who was 3 for 5 and leads the team with a .332 average. “I figured my teammates were gonna get on, as we’ve done in the ninth all year. And I kind of just was visualizing, like how that’s gonna feel, what it’s gonna feel like what the crowd is be like. Putting myself there emotionally before it happens.”
Arizona’s 20 conference wins are tied for the third-most in school history. The last two times it got that many, in 2012 and 2021, it reached the College World Series.
ARIZONA — Arizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker is entering the final year of his contract with the organization, and though trade talks have simmered since last offseason (where the All-Pro went public with his trade request), the future is still unclear for one of the most beloved Cardinals of all-time.
Bleacher Report says teams should target Baker in trade talks.
“Budda Baker asked for a trade last year but the Arizona Cardinals ended up giving him a raise and he remains on the team amid speculations that a move could happen ahead of the draft. But the Cardinals should at least entertain the thought of trading Baker seeing as the 28-year-old is on the last year of his deal,” wrote Matt Holder.
“Not that Arizona needs it, but it would save them $15.1 million, per Over The Cap, by trading the defensive back in addition to getting a player of future asset back for a guy who might leave for nothing next spring. Also, it would be a bit of a surprise if the Cardinals are much of a playoff contender even with Baker in the tough NFC West.”

Holder brings up a great point – Arizona doesn’t need cap space. The thought of Baker departing Arizona isn’t exactly fuzzy for either side, especially for free after this season on the open market.
Yet if the Cardinals wanted to offload Baker, they should have maximized his value last offseason, when he was younger and not entering a contract year. Arizona looks to hold Baker in the desert at least for 2024, and talks can progress from there.
B/R listed the Baltimore Ravens, Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles (who reportedly had interest in Baker last offseason) as prime destinations for Baker.
Baker has a cap hit of $19 million in 2024 according to Spotrac with $14.6 million due in cash.
