• 3:00
  Morning sent you. In local news, fans, community
• 3:06
  members, and family gathered at Birkeland Park
• 3:09
  Middle School to support Islam Meadow. while
• 3:12
  Stoughton High School traveled two and a half
• 3:14
  hours by bus for their round of 16 game on Wednesday
• 3:17
  afternoon. The home crowd was so large and positive
• 3:21
  that it was difficult to realize the Spartans'
• 3:24
  historic season ended in a 6 -2 loss. Stoughton
• 3:29
  set the tone early when catcher Kelsey Whitman
• 3:31
  launched a two -run home run, finishing the day
• 3:34
  with three runs batted in, as she was supported
• 3:37
  by teammate Julia Monaghan's contributions. Despite
• 3:42
  the loss, East Longmeadow head coach Jenna Parks
• 3:45
  appreciated the community's support, saying it
• 3:48
  was a great feeling to have so many people cheering
• 3:50
  them on. Now on to sports. NBA commissioner Adam
• 4:00
  Silver is not ready to adjust the league's 65
• 4:03
  -game rule just yet. Speaking ahead of Game 1
• 4:07
  of the NBA Finals between the San Antonio Spurs
• 4:11
  and New York Knicks, he defended the rule requiring
• 4:14
  players to compete in at least 65 games to be
• 4:18
  eligible for end -of -season awards. I think
• 4:21
  the rule is working, he said. This rule encourages
• 4:25
  star players to compete more often instead of
• 4:28
  resting due to injuries. While it has faced criticism,
• 4:32
  Silver remains content with the current standard.
• 4:35
  I'm not ready to support a change yet, he added,
• 4:38
  as the current collective bargaining agreement
• 4:41
  runs through the 2029 -30 season. In local sports,
• 4:46
  the Red Sox look to take the series this afternoon
• 4:49
  at Fenway against Baltimore in the rubber match.
• 4:53
  After dropping Game 1, Boston bounced back wicked
• 4:57
  strong yesterday, dismantling the Orioles 8 -1.
• 5:02
  Peyton Tall was outstanding on the mound with
• 5:04
  six scoreless innings, while the offense came
• 5:07
  out swinging early. William Abreu went deep with
• 5:11
  three RBIs, and Sadon Rafaela added three hits.
• 5:16
  Now Brian Bayo takes the ball against Trevor
• 5:19
  Rogers this afternoon at 1 .35, with both teams
• 5:24
  fighting for momentum heading into the weekend.
• 5:27
  Meanwhile, the Celtics are in the middle of a
• 5:29
  wild -off season. Giannis Antetokounmpo is intrigued
• 5:34
  by Boston, and the team's emerged as a wild card
• 5:37
  in the sweepstakes. But there's also trade speculation
• 5:41
  swirling around Jalen Brown, with the Pelicans,
• 5:45
  Rockets, Trailblazers, and Hawks all circling.
• 5:49
  Brown hasn't indicated he wants out, but the
• 5:52
  front office faces a critical decision. Do they
• 5:56
  go after a generational talent like Giannis?
• 5:59
  or reconfigure around Jason Tatum with a brown
• 6:03
  trade. Expect clarity on Giannis' future before
• 6:07
  the NBA draft kicks off June 23rd. In top news,
• 6:14
  at least 363 cases and 62 deaths have been confirmed
• 6:19
  in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. A deadly
• 6:23
  Ebola outbreak is continuing to spread across
• 6:26
  the country, with global health officials warning
• 6:29
  that We are still behind. As of Wednesday, cases
• 6:33
  have spread to Mambasa, suggesting the virus
• 6:36
  is continuing to expand geographically. The outbreak
• 6:40
  had a big head start, and we are still behind.
• 6:43
  But we're catching up, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus
• 6:47
  said. Public health response is ramping up, although
• 6:51
  contact tracing remains weak. Identifying contacts
• 6:55
  is challenging, especially with distrust in authorities
• 6:59
  and the stigma around Ebola. In business news,
• 7:04
  Bitcoin prices fell to their lowest levels since
• 7:07
  early April on Tuesday after a decline spurred
• 7:11
  by crypto treasury company Strategy, selling
• 7:14
  a small amount of its Bitcoin holding intensified.
• 7:17

  80 % chance that the flagship cryptocurrency's
• 7:30
  price will fall below $60 ,000 in 2026. That

  would mean Bitcoin hitting a new low, tumbling

• 9:02
  and devouring frogs in the tropical forests of
• 9:05
  South America. These arachnids have been observed
• 9:08
  eating frogs, suggesting they may be predators
• 9:11
  of vertebrates. A new study reports daddy longlegs
• 9:15
  devouring live frogs larger than themselves.
• 9:19
  Finding these animals eating live frogs was a
• 9:21
  complete surprise, said Luis Fernando Garcia,
• 9:25
  a biologist at the University of the Republic
• 9:28
  in Uruguay. Jose Valdez, an ecologist in Germany,
• 9:32
  emphasized that predation by arthropods on vertebrates
• 9:36
  is quite common. The new paper, published in
• 9:39
  April, compiled reports of harpsmen eating frogs
• 9:42
  around their body size. The researchers noted
• 9:45
  these arachnids may hunt resting frogs with their
• 9:48
  strong front limbs. And in entertainment news,

  from The Daily Beast criticized it as an F -grade

  affair. Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the

  quote of the day. And today, our quote comes

  from the British Prime Minister during World
