to tell them. Sunny Morning sent you. In local
news, North County residents are breathing a
sigh of relief after a developer withdrew its
proposal for a controversial battery storage
project. It is a cause for celebration after
years of fighting to stop the plan from moving
forward in their community. Community leader
J .P. Thaberge expressed that it felt like the
project was going to be approved eventually,
leading to some residents moving away. Neighbors
celebrated the decision with sparkling wine,
thankful that the 23 acres filled with 217 containers
of toxic lithium -ion batteries will not be a
reality. The developer, AES Corporation, stated
they are prioritizing other projects amid challenging
market conditions. Now on to sports. Michigan
fights off UConn to win its first national championship
since 1989. On April 6, 2026, in Indianapolis,
Indiana, the Wolverines emerged as national champions.
The number one -ranked Michigan defeated the
number two -ranked UConn 69 -63, ending the Huskies'
dynasty. This victory marks Michigan's second
national championship, breaking the Big Ten's
26 -year title drought. The Wolverines, led by
second -year coach Dusty May, achieved a record
-breaking 37 wins and three losses this season.
Despite shooting poorly from three -point range,
their size and depth proved too much for UConn
to handle. In local sports, Bubba Chandler baffled
Freddie Fairmean for a strikeout. But it was
German Marquez who shined for the Friars, combining
with two relievers for a seven -hit shutout in
a 5 -0 victory over the Pirates on Monday night.
This win ended Pittsburgh's five -game winning
streak and marked Marquez's first victory with
San Diego as he pitched five innings, allowing
six hits and striking out four. The Padres scored
all of their runs with four doubles, including
contributions from Nick Castellanos, Jackson
Merrill, Jake Cronenworth, and Ramon Laureano.
Next up, Nick Pivetta will face off against Pittsburgh's
ace, Hall Skeens, today at 3 .40. In top news,
kids are discovering the joys and pains of the
landline. Families are combating screen time
with a blast from the past, home phones. However,
it has not been a smooth transition. Elsie Wright
campaigned for a phone and finally received one
for Christmas, but it was a landline. American
families are embracing the low -tech life, installing
home phones to reduce smartphone use, which has
created some hiccups. Luna James -Martinez, nine
years old, hung up her new retro -looking handset,
thinking it was glitching. Her mom explained
what a dial tone was, while Luna struggled with
basics like holding the receiver correctly. In
business news, the money game is capturing Wall
Street's attention as analysts focus on the Strait
of Hormuz. With markets wobbling, James Van Geelen
states, it's the most bearish outcome. The founder
of Citrini Research, known for causing a $200
billion market meltdown, is concerned about how
Donald Trump's conflict with Iran will impact
financial markets. After watching the president's
April Fool's Day address, he felt glum, especially
as his analyst in the war zone reported troubling
news. Stocks had been rising on hopes of a ceasefire,
but Trump's statement suggested a prolonged conflict.
What did we rally on then? Asks Van Geelen. In
crypto movement, Bitcoin is unchanged at $69
,000. Ethereum is down 1%. to just over 2 ,000.
And XRP is down 1 % to $1 .32. Moving on to a

Just be sure to tell them Sunny Morning sent
you by. And now, back to the show. Let's talk
science. Artemis II's crew has now flown farther
than any humans. The distance covered, more than
248 ,655 miles, surpassed the record set by Apollo
13 in 1970. The crew of NASA's Artemis II mission
has officially ventured farther into space than
any humans before, zooming more than 248 ,655
miles from Earth in its historic voyage around
the far side of the Moon. Today, for all humanity,
you're pushing beyond that frontier, Kelsey Young,
a science officer for Artemis II, told the crew.
The spacecraft will set yet another record for
human travelers. 252 ,760 miles from Earth. And
in entertainment news, Savannah Guthrie returns
to work. Ready or not, let's do the news. Guthrie
has been off air since her mother Nancy was abducted
65 days ago. Savannah Guthrie returned to the
Today Show on Monday for real and for good. The
NBC News Morning Show's longtime co -anchor was
in her familiar chair next to Craig Melvin when
a clock struck 7 a .m. Eastern Time. Wearing
a cheery yellow dress, surrounded by roses, Guthrie
opened with the latest news on Iran, including
a potential 45 -day ceasefire. It is good to
be home, Guthrie said. Well, all righty, folks.
It's time for the quote of the day. And today...
Our quote comes from the American author and
motivational speaker, Wayne Dyer. And he said,
When you change the way you look at things, the
things you look at change, highlighting the power
of perspective and shaping our experiences and
outcomes. And that's a wrap for this morning.
You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and
TikTok for some captivating aerial videos with

day, my good friends. We'll see you tomorrow
with another episode of Sunny Mornings in San
Diego.
