March 12

1961–Mickey Wright wins the LPGA championship by nine strokes over Louise Suggs, her third in the last four years.

1966–Chicago's Bobby Hull scores his 51st goal to become the first NHL player to score more than 50 goals in a season.

1970–Austin Carr scores 52 points to lead Notre Dame in a 112-82 win over Kentucky in the regional semifinals of the NCAA men's tournament. Dan Issel of Kentucky scores 44 points.

1985–Larry Bird scores 60 points, including Boston's last 16, to set a Celtics record and lead them to a 126-115 victory over Atlanta. Bird hit 22 of 36 field goals and 15 of 16 free throws en route to breaking Kevin McHale's team record of 56 points established nine days before.

2002–Siena (17-18), with an 81-77 victory over Alcorn State in the play-in game, becomes first team in 47 years to win an NCAA men's basketball tournament game with a losing record.

2003–Damian Costantino's NCAA-record hitting streak ends at 60 games, one day after he broke Robin Ventura's 16-year-old mark. Costantino, an outfielder for Division III Salve Regina of Newport, R.I., fails to get a hit in the first game of a doubleheader against Baldwin-Wallace. It's the first time he finishes a game hitless since March 25, 2001.
