SUMMARY: Former Mississippi State outfielder Jake Mangum fulfilled a childhood dream by making his MLB debut with the Tampa Bay Rays after five years in the minor leagues. He was notified of his promotion from the Durham Bulls and started as the right fielder against the Colorado Rockies. In his debut, Mangum had four plate appearances and reached base once via a walk as the Rays won 6-2. His parents attended the game, celebrating their anniversary, while Mangum reflected on his journey, expressing gratitude for the support he received. A standout in college, he was drafted by the Mets in 2019.

SUMMARY: Polls closed in Mississippi on Tuesday, revealing a shift in support for Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba, who garnered only 16.8% in the Democratic primary, down from nearly 70% in 2021. State Sen. John Horhn led with 48.4%, triggering a runoff on April 22. Lumumba, facing a federal bribery indictment, insists he’s a victim of political prosecution. In city council races, new candidates will emerge following the decision of councilman Aaron Banks not to seek reelection. Suburban elections included Kathy Smith winning Flowood’s mayoral primary, while incumbents in Brandon, Pearl, and Ridgeland faced no challengers.
