Question: History was made in northern California when the first active professional baseball player to come out as gay led his team to victory. Sean Conroy, 23, secured a 7-0 win for the Sonoma Stompers on Thursday night during his first start with the 22-man team, which is part of the independent Pacific Association of Baseball Clubs. The enthusiastic crowd seemed more impressed with his performance pitching a shutout - completing a game without allowing any runs - than his role as a pioneer.

As it happened, his right-foot shot on the turn was struck well enough but it was straight at Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet, who managed to parry the ball and then grab it as it threatened to spin over the line.Philippe Coutinho scored in the 70th minute for Liverpool at Ewood ParkThe Brazilian found the bottom corner of Simon Eastwood's goal in FA Cup quarter-final replayThe first tie between the two sides at Anfield last month ended in a goalless drawLiverpool to face Aston Villa in semi-final at Wembley on Sunday, April 19
