ATLANTA (AP) — Rhyne Howard scored 21 points, Allisha Gray added 17 and Angel Reese recorded her third double-double of the season as the Atlanta Dream used a late surge to beat the Phoenix Mercury 82-80 on Sunday.

Reese finished with 17 points and 10 rebounds. Jordin Canada had 11 points and 14 rebounds for her first double-double of the season.

The Dream (4-1) used a 9-0 run in a span of 85 seconds to tie the game at 73 with just over a minute remaining.

Canada was fouled on a drive to the basket and converted a free throw to give Atlanta the lead. Howard hit a 3-pointer to make it a four-point game with 24 seconds remaining. The Mercury's Kahleah Copper hit a 3-pointer on the next possession, cutting their deficit to a point.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Drew Burress became Georgia Tech's career leader in home runs, Alex Hernandez drove in four runs, and the Yellow Jackets defeated North Carolina 13-6 on Sunday to claim the ACC Baseball Championship for the 10th time.

The top-seeded and third-ranked Yellow Jackets won the tournament for the first time since 2014.

Burress led off the bottom of the third inning with his 58th career home run. The blast to left field set the tone for a five-run inning that also featured Hernandez's three-run double.

North Carolina got two back in the fourth inning on a two-out single by Rom Kellis V and two more in the fifth on a home run by Owen Hull.

SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) — Josh Dykhoff's three-run home run was the first of three consecutive homers in a big seventh inning and Kansas defeated West Virginia 9-0 on Saturday night to win the Big 12 baseball championship for the first time since 2006.

Dykhoff's seventh-inning blast blew open what had been a close game, giving Kansas a 6-0 lead. Augusto Mungarrieta and Jordan Bach followed with home runs to make it 8-0.

A first-inning solo home run by Tyson Owens staked 13th-ranked and top-seeded Kansas (42-16) to a 1-0 lead.

Ninth-ranked and second-seeded West Virginia (39-14) loaded the bases on three singles in the fifth inning. With one out, Toby Scheidt replaced Mathis Nayral on the mound. Gavin Kelly lifted a fly ball to right field for the second out and Bach threw out Brodie Kresser at home to complete the inning-ending double play.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) — The Wellington-based Hurricanes have secured top seeding for the Super Rugby playoffs with one round remaining in the regular season.

After Saturday’s 45-28 win over the Dunedin-based Highlanders, the Hurricanes hold a nine-point lead over the Chiefs and cannot be displaced from the top of the table in next weekend’s final round. First place carries with it the valuable prize of a second chance in the playoffs, the chance to return if beaten in the first round.

The Hurricanes have an 11-2 record and lead the tournament with 84 tries, 18 more than the next best team. The rest of the top six teams that will contest the playoffs probably have been decided, though the finishing order may still change.

The Queensland Reds are in sixth place, five points clear of the New South Wales Waratahs in seventh and with an identical points differential. The Reds host the Fijian Drua and the Waratahs face the Western Force next weekend.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Kelsey Plum scored a season-high 38 points, Erica Wheeler hit the go-ahead 3-pointer late in the fourth quarter, and the Los Angeles Sparks defeated the Las Vegas Aces 101-95 on Saturday night.

A 3-pointer by Wheeler capped an 8-0 run for Los Angeles in the first minute of the fourth quarter that gave the Sparks a 80-73 lead. The Aces battled back and tied it at 90 on a jumper in the lane by Chelsea Gray and again at 94 on two free throws by A'ja Wilson.

Wheeler then took a pass from Plum and hit a 27-foot 3-pointer with 1:15 remaining, giving the Sparks a 97-94 lead. The Aces missed a couple of 3-pointers and a free throw on their final possessions while Dearica Hamby and Plum sealed the win with two free throws each.

Hamby and Cameron Brink each scored 16, Ariel Atkins had 11, and Rae Burrell added 10 for the Sparks (3-3). Wheeler had 10 points, seven rebounds and six assists, and Plum had nine assists.
