  1. The Cleveland Cavaliers have pulled off an amazing comeback in the NBA finals, and beat the Golden State Warriors in game seven.

The victory is the Cavalier’s first NBA title in franchise history.

The game was tied at 89 with under a minute to play, when Cleveland hit a 3-pointer.

Golden State wouldn't add any more points, while the Cavalier’s would add some pad to their lead.

93 to 89 was the final score.

2. Sei Young Kim is the winner of the Meijer LPGA Classic.

This is her second victory of the year, beating Carlota Ciganda with a birdie on the first hole of a playoff.

2015 classic champion Lexi Thompson tied for 4th and Michelle Wie shot a 75 to tie for 56th at one under.

And the biggest winner was the food pantries across the Midwest.

The Meijer LPGA Classic raised $850,000.

3. The feds are giving a big boost to the Kalamazoo-Battle Creek Airport, to the tune of several hundred thousand dollars.

$300,000 in funding is coming from the FAA to improve the runways.

The agency says the improvements will focus on safety and ways to keep the runways clear of what they call incursions.

That can mean anything from people, to vehicles or other aircraft that aren't supposed to be in certain areas.

4. The American Red Cross and members of each military branch will honor those who have served or are serving their communities during a special blood drive at the Air Zoo ahead of Independence Day weekend.

The Honoring Those Who Serve Blood Drive will be held from 11 a.m. to 3:45 p.m. on Friday July 1, with a special flag raising ceremony beginning at 1 p.m. to honor those who serve.

Everyone who donates blood can enter for a chance to win two tickets to a Cedar Faire Park and will also receive an American Red Cross cooler while supplies last.

5. Millions of Ticketmaster customers are getting offers for free tickets thanks to a 13-year-old lawsuit.

The suit was first filed in 2003, and alleged that Ticketmaster was charging excessive and deceptive fees.

Ticketmaster denies the claims, but settled the lawsuit last April.

Now, the company will issue $45 million worth of cash, discounts and tickets to U.S. customers who made purchases on its website between October 1999 and February 2013 and paid an “order processing fee" that was never refunded.

Ticketmaster says customers will get a ticket code in their accounts which can be redeemed for two general admission tickets to selected events and venues owned and operated by live nation entertainment.

A list of those events and venues has yet to be released.
