ATLANTA (AP) — Ronald Acuña Jr. homered for the second straight game in his return from a nearly year-long absence due to a knee injury, leading the Atlanta Braves to a 7-1 win over the San Diego Padres on Saturday. Acuña homered on the first pitch he saw in his season debut Friday. On Saturday, he hit a 411-foot, two-run shot to left field in the sixth inning, going 1 for 5. The 27-year-old is 3 for 9 in his two games back after missing the previous 161 games due to a torn ACL in his left knee.

Klubnik leads our ACC QB rankings, which features six returning starters and seven first-year transfers among the 18 schools (Notre Dame is included in this exercise even though the Irish are independent).

ATLANTA – Dylan Caldwell really didn’t want to let go of the South Region championship trophy. The Auburn big man was carrying it around, posing for photos on the makeshift stage and generally taking ownership of the symbol of the Tigers' first four wins in this NCAA Tournament. Miles Kelly was escorting his mom around the State Farm Arena court, the one covered in orange and blue confetti following Auburn’s 70-64 elimination of Michigan State.

ATLANTA – Isn’t this a college football town? In the shadow of Mercedez-Benz Stadium, four schools that had all participated in the Peach Bowl within the last eight years staged an SEC/Big Ten basketball challenge in the Sweet 16. Michigan State overcame Ole Miss, 73-70. Auburn exploded past Michigan, 78-65. And it was every bit as tense and ferocious and wild as we’d hoped.
