TOP 25 ROUNDUP: USF STUNS NO. 13 FLORIDA FOR 2ND STRAIGHT TOP 25 WIN
Nico Gramatica nailed a 20-yard field goal as time expired as South Florida rallied to stun No. 13 Florida 18-16 on Saturday in Gainesville, Fla.
After beating then-No. 25 Boise State in Week 1, the Bulls (2-0) went 87 yards in eight plays in the final two minutes to set up Gramatica’s third field goal.
It was USF’s second straight win over an AP ranked team and first on the road since beating Notre Dame in 2011.
Gramatica missed a 58-yarder just short with 2:52 left that would have put the Bulls up.
USF signal-caller Byrum Brown was 23 of 36 for 263 passing yards and a touchdown, while Florida’s DJ Lagway was 23 of 33 for 222 yards with a TD and an interception.
No. 1 Ohio State 70, Grambling 0
Quarterback Julian Sayin had a near perfect game when the Buckeyes pounded the Tigers in Columbus.
Sayin, in his second career start, set a school record for consecutive completions to start a game (16) and through two quarters was 18 of 19 for 306 yards and four touchdowns. Two went to Jeremiah Smith, including an 87-yarder as the Buckeyes cruised to a 35-0 lead. Sayin, Smith and many of the starters did not play in the second half.
The Tigers (1-1), an FCS school, were no match for the Buckeyes (2-0) and Sayin was 10-for-10 for 218 yards with three touchdowns in the first 10:50 of the game.
No. 2 Penn State 34, Florida International 0
Drew Allar completed 19 of 33 passes for 200 yards and two touchdowns, and Kaytron Allen and Nick Singleton each rushed for a touchdown to lead the Nittany Lions over the visiting Panthers.
Khalil Dinkins and Devonte Ross each caught a touchdown pass for Penn State (2-0), and Ryan Barker made two field goals. Allen carried the ball 16 times for 144 yards. His touchdown came on a 67-yard run with 3:29 to play. Singleton gained 76 yards on 13 carries; he scored on a 5-yard run with 1:19 left.
FIU (1-1) turned the ball over twice and was limited to 149 passing yards. The Panthers were 6 of 18 on third down.
No. 3 LSU 23, Louisiana Tech 3
Garrett Nussmeier threw a touchdown pass and Caden Durham rushed for a touchdown in an otherwise sluggish offensive performance as the Tigers defeated the Bulldogs in Baton Rouge, La.
The Tigers (2-0) were favored by more than five touchdowns, but didn’t build a comfortable lead until late in the third quarter. But a dominant performance by the LSU defense prevented any serious threat of an upset. Nussmeier completed 26 of 41 passes for 237 yards, but threw an interception on the game’s first possession, setting the tone for the defense-oriented game.
Trey Kukuk completed just 12 of 18 passes for 50 yards and the Bulldogs (1-1) finished with 58 rushing yards and 154 total yards. The Tigers ran 22 more plays than Louisiana Tech (75-53), leading to a 36:52-23:08 advantage in time of possession and they allowed an average of just 2.9 yards per play.
No. 4 Georgia 28, Austin Peay 6
Nate Frazier and Chauncey Bowens each scored two touchdowns to lead the host Bulldogs to a win over the Govs. The game’s start time was moved up an hour to avoid inclement weather, but lightning in the area forced a two-hour delay at halftime.
Georgia’s defense held the Governors to 45 yards rushing, while Gunner Stockton completed 26 of 34 passes for 227 yards as Georgia (2-0) converted seven of 13 third downs. Frazier carried the ball 14 times for 69 yards, while Colbie Young caught seven passes for 76 yards.
For Austin Peay (1-1), Chris Parson finished 16-for-23 passing for 151 yards and one interception. Corey Richardson was their leading rusher, carrying the ball seven times for 33 yards.
No. 5 Miami 45, Bethune-Cookman 3
Carson Beck completed 22 of 24 passes for 267 yards and threw a pair of touchdown passes as the Hurricanes took care of business with a victory over the Wildcats at Miami Gardens, Fla.
The Hurricanes (2-0) improved to 8-0 lifetime against the Wildcats (0-2), who were held to a Juan Dominguez 32-yard field goal and have yet to score a touchdown this season. Bethune-Cookman quarterback Timmy McClain completed 13 of 15 passes for just 86 passing yards.
Beck completed his first 15 passes, breaking the program record of 14 in a row to start a game set by Vinny Testaverde against Oklahoma in 1986. Beck and backup quarterback Emory Williams completed passes to 14 different receivers.
No. 6 Oregon 69, Oklahoma State 3
In another dominant offensive showing, the Ducks cleaned house and sent the Cowboys packing with a dominating win in Eugene, Ore.
The Ducks (2-0) once again came out firing on all cylinders, scoring touchdowns on six of their seven first-half drives and finishing with 631 total yards. Dante Moore finished with 266 yards passing, completing 16 of his 21 passes to go with three touchdowns.
Oklahoma State (1-1) had just three drives that lasted longer than four plays, and had fewer first downs (9) than Oregon had total touchdowns (10).
No. 7 Texas 38, San Jose State 7
Arch Manning passed for 295 yards and four touchdowns and ran for another score to fuel the Longhorns to a victory over the Spartans in Austin.
Texas (1-1) bounced back from a season-opening loss at now top-ranked Ohio State with a dominating performance from its ball-hawking defense, which forced three fumbles (two by preseason All-American linebacker Anthony Hill) and an interception. Parker Livingstone posted 128 receiving yards and two touchdown receptions.
Walker Eget passed for 188 yards to pace the Spartans (0-2). They got on the scoreboard with a 4-yard touchdown run by Jabari Bates.
No. 8 Clemson 27, Troy 16
Cade Klubnik threw two touchdown passes in the second half to rally the Tigers to a victory over the visiting Trojans in a game that was delayed for 90 minutes in the first half because of a lightning storm.
Adam Randall carried 21 times for 112 yards and a touchdown as Clemson (1-1) overcame a 16-point deficit against the Sun Belt Conference squad, which was gunning for its first-ever upset of a top-10 team. Klubnik completed 18 of 24 passes for 196 yards and one interception. But after hearing boos in the first half, Klubnik fired both of his touchdown passes to Bryant Wesco Jr., who finished with seven receptions for 118 yards.
Goose Crowder completed 19 of 31 passes for 223 yards and a touchdown for Troy (1-1), but his three interceptions were costly.
No. 10 South Carolina 38, South Carolina State 10
Vicari Swain returned a pair of second-quarter punts for touchdowns, helping the Gamecocks overcome a slow start and pull away with a win over the Bulldogs in Columbia, S.C.
With South Carolina facing a 3-0 deficit, Swain returned a punt 65 yards for a touchdown to get the Gamecocks on the board with 5:01 left in the first half. Less than two minutes later, he again housed a punt, this one a 42-yard return after it was partially blocked, to make it 14-3 over the Bulldogs
LaNorris Sellers was 11-for-19 (57.9 percent) for 128 yards with 23 rushing yards on eight carries. SC State QB William Atkins IV got the start and completed 10 of 14 passes for 118 yards. He was replaced in the third quarter by Ryan Stubblefield, who was 8 of 14 for 90 yards and a touchdown.
No. 11 Illinois 45, Duke 19
Luke Altmyer went 22 of 31 for 296 yards and three touchdowns as the visiting Fighting Illini pulled away from the mistake-prone Blue Devils.
Altmyer’s main target was Hank Beatty, who caught eight passes for 128 yards for the Fighting Illini (2-0). Beatty also had a 25-yard scoring run. Cole Rusk, Justin Bowick and Collin Dixon had TD receptions while Kaden Feagin and Ca’Lil Valentine added rushing TDs.
Duke’s Darian Mensah was 23 of 34 for 334 yards, an interception and two scores to Andrel Anthony. Yet the Blue Devils (1-1) turned the ball over five times, committed very costly penalties and were outscored 31-6 in the second half.
Mississippi State 24, No. 12 Arizona State 20
Blake Shapen tossed a 58-yard touchdown pass to Brenen Thompson with 30 seconds left to give the Bulldogs a victory over the Sun Devils at Starkville, Miss.
The Mississippi State defense put together a stellar goal-line stand to hold Arizona State to a field goal before the big play in which Thompson found operating room and caught Shapen’s pass inside the 25-yard line and dashed into the end zone. Shapen completed 19 of 33 passes for 279 yards and three touchdowns for Mississippi State (2-0).
Raleek Brown rushed for 110 yards on 18 carries and Kanye Udoh had 105 yards and one score on 23 carries for Arizona State (1-1). Sam Leavitt was 10-of-22 passing for just 82 yards and was intercepted twice. He also threw a touchdown pass to Jordyn Tyson.
No. 14 Florida State 77, East Texas A&M 3
The Seminoles tied a program record with 11 touchdowns, running away with a beatdown of the Lions in Tallahassee, Fla.
The Seminoles (2-0) scored touchdowns on each of their first 10 possessions, surpassed 700 yards of total offense for the first time since 2000 and pulled many of their offensive starters before halftime. FSU allowed just nine first downs.
The Lions (0-2) got on the board with a 21-yard field goal from Ozlo Rigby with 9:32 left in the game.
No. 18 Oklahoma 24, No. 15 Michigan 13
John Mateer threw for 270 yards and a touchdown and ran for 74 yards and two more scores as the Sooners beat the Wolverines in Norman, Okla.
The Sooners (2-0) outgained the Wolverines (1-1) 408-288, making life difficult for Michigan freshman quarterback Bryce Underwood (9-of-24 passing, 142 yards) in his first road start. Oklahoma held Michigan to just 3-of-14 third-down conversions.
Mateer played like a quarterback with plenty of experience, finishing 21-of-34 passing with one interception.
No. 16 Iowa State 16, Iowa 13
Kyle Konrardy kicked a 54-yard field goal with 1:52 remaining to give the Cyclones (3-0) their first Cy-Hawk Rivalry home win over the Hawkeyes (1-1) since 2011 in Ames, Iowa.
The Cyclones held a 238-214 edge in total offense in a contest controlled by the defenses. Rocco Becht completed 18 of 27 passes for 134 yards and one touchdown for the Cyclones. Benjamin Brahmer caught the scoring pass.
Mark Gronowski was just 13-of-24 passing for 83 yards and one interception for the Hawkeyes. The South Dakota State transfer also had 37 yards and a score on the ground that helped erase a 10-point first-half deficit.
Baylor 48, No. 17 SMU 45 (2OT)
Facing a 14-point fourth-quarter deficit, the Bears surged back to stun the Mustangs in double overtime in Dallas, winning their 13th straight game in the in-state series when Connor Hawkins hit a 27-yard field goal in the second overtime after SMU’s Collin Rogers missed his kick.
Baylor (1-1) QB Sawyer Robertson reached the 400-yard mark for the second straight week, racking up 440 yards and four touchdowns passes, including two in the final 5:23 of regulation to force overtime.
SMU (1-1) running back T.J. Harden racked up 115 yards on the ground with three scores, two of which came in the opening seven minutes of the fourth quarter to break a 24-24 deadlock.
No. 19 Texas A&M 44, Utah State 22
Marcel Reed delivered his second stellar performance so far this season, throwing three touchdown passes and rushing for another to lead Texas A&M to a home victory over Utah State.
Reed completed 19 of 28 passes for 220 yards; he also ran for 66 yards on 10 carries. However, he appeared to suffer an injury after being tackled on a run late in the third quarter. He remained down on the field while being attended to by the Aggies’ medical staff; after a couple of minutes, he was seen walking briskly into the locker room.
Utah State battled in the second half and outscored the Aggies 16-14, scoring on two touchdown passes from quarterback Bryson Barnes, who completed 15 of 30 passes for 169 yards.
No. 20 Ole Miss 30, Kentucky 23
Kewan Lacy rushed for 138 yards and had one of the Rebels’ three rushing touchdowns to hold off the Wildcats in both teams’ SEC opener in Lexington, Ky.
Austin Simmons, who passed for 235 yards but was intercepted twice before leaving midway through the fourth quarter with an ankle injury, and Damien Taylor had the other rushing touchdowns for Ole Miss.
Seth McGowan rushed for 93 yards and had both touchdowns for the Wildcats, but Zach Calzada passed for just 149 yards before leaving in the fourth quarter because of a shoulder injury.
No. 21 Alabama 73, UL Monroe 0
Ty Simpson completed all 17 passes for 226 yards and three touchdowns to help the Crimson Tide demolish the Warhawks at Tuscaloosa, Ala.
Simpson set a Crimson Tide record for consecutive completions at the outset of a game while helping Alabama (1-1) rebound from a 31-17 loss to Florida State in its opening game. Aidan Armenta completed 8 of 14 passes for 28 yards and one interception for the Warhawks (1-1). UL Monroe allowed 583 yards and gained just 148.
Germie Bernard caught two touchdown passes and Isaiah Horton, Kaleb Edwards, Josh Cuevas, Cole Adams and MJ Chirgwin each had one scoring catch as the Crimson Tide built a 42-point halftime lead. Backup Austin Mack and prized prospect Keelon Russell each threw two touchdown passes while Richard Young and AK Dear each rushed for one score.
No. 22 Tennessee 72, East Tennessee State 17
Joey Aguilar passed for 288 yards and two touchdowns as the Volunteers set a single-game program scoring record in a win over the visiting Buccaneers in Knoxville, Tenn.
Chris Brazzell II caught nine passes for 125 yards and two touchdowns for Tennessee, while Mike Matthews had six catches for 111 yards and one score. Tennessee finished with 717 yards to 216 yards for ETSU.
The Volunteers bullied their way to a 48-7 halftime lead, outgaining the Buccaneers 427 to 72 yards. Cade McNamara completed 11-of-18 passes for 85 yards and a touchdown for the FCS Buccaneers.
No. 23 Indiana 56, Kennesaw State 9
Fernando Mendoza threw a career-high four touchdown passes, including three to Elijah Sarratt, as the Hoosiers dominated the visiting Owls.
Mendoza, a transfer from California, completed 18 of 25 passes for 245 yards without an interception for Indiana (2-0). Lee Beebe Jr. carried 11 times for 90 yards and a touchdown, while Roman Hemby (nine carries, 64 yards) and Kaelon Black (10 carries, 57 yards) contributed to a balanced rushing attack for the Hoosiers. Indiana gained 313 yards on the ground, averaging 8.0 yards per attempt.
Kennesaw State (0-2) was led by Amari Odom, who came off the bench to complete 10 of 16 passes for 176 yards and one interception.
No. 24 Texas Tech 62, Kent State 14
Behren Morton passed for 258 yards and three touchdowns in the first half, and Texas Tech rolled to a blowout of visiting Kent State.
The Red Raiders (2-0) built a 48-0 lead at the half, allowing them to insert their reserves the rest of the way. Adam Hill led the Texas Tech ground attack with 127 rushing yards on 16 carries.
Backup quarterback Dru DeShields led Kent State with 116 passing yards and a touchdown. In addition, he rushed for 22 yards and a touchdown.
No. 25 Utah 63, Cal Poly 9
Devon Dampier threw for 192 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Utes to a victory over the Mustangs in Salt Lake City.
Dampier completed 74 percent of his pass attempts as Utah rolled up 518 total yards on offense, including 273 on the ground. The Utes averaged 5.9 yards per rush with nine different players getting at least one carry. Nate Johnson led the way with 59 yards on 11 carries.
Utah (2-0) has not lost to an FCS team since 1993 and has never lost to any Big Sky Conference opponent except Idaho. Ty Dieffenbach threw for 82 yards and an interception to lead the Mustangs (1-1), who averaged just 3.8 yards per play against the stout Utes defense.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL
MLB ROUNDUP: O’S BREAK UP DODGERS’ NO-HITTER IN 9TH, RALLY FOR WIN
Emmanuel Rivera hit a game-winning two-run single in Baltimore’s four-run bottom of the ninth and the Orioles, who didn’t have a hit through 8 2/3 innings, rallied past the visiting Los Angeles Dodgers for a 4-3 victory Saturday night.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto came within one out of throwing a no-hitter, but the Dodgers were saddled with their fifth consecutive loss. Jackson Holliday’s ninth-inning home run with two outs broke up the no-hit bid and Yamamoto came out of the game. The right-hander finished with 10 strikeouts and issued two walks.
Blake Treinen (1-3) replaced Yamamoto, but he didn’t record an out. Jeremiah Jackson doubled off Treinen and then Gunnar Henderson was hit by a pitch, so that allowed the potential tying and winning runs to come to the plate. Ryan Mountcastle drew a walk to load the bases and Colton Cowser’s walk forced in the second run of the inning.
Tanner Scott gave up Rivera’s single. A night earlier, he surrendered Samuel Basallo’s game-winning home run in the ninth in a 2-1 outcome. Mookie Betts drove in two runs for the Dodgers, who racked up 10 hits. Freddie Freeman and Miguel Rojas joined Betts with two hits. The Orioles extended their winning streak to five. Albert Suarez (1-0) was the winning pitcher in relief, giving up one run in three innings.
Tigers 6, White Sox 0
Tarik Skubal extended his franchise record with another scoreless outing as Detroit ended visiting Chicago’s six-game winning streak.
By pitching seven scoreless innings, Skubal (13-4) has 12 starts this season in which he has pitched at least six innings and allowed no runs, two more than previous record-holder Denny McLain notched in 1969. Skubal held the White Sox to two hits and one walk while striking out six, lowering his season ERA to 2.10.
Gleyber Torres delivered the big blow on offense, a three-run homer to cap the Tigers’ five-run fourth. Jahmai Jones had a solo homer and scored two runs for the AL Central-leading Tigers. Zach McKinstry added an RBI double.
Reds 6, Mets 3
Sal Stewart celebrated his first major league home run and Brady Singer battled through six innings for Cincinnati as it ended a three-game losing streak by beating visiting New York.
Matt McLain and Austin Hays added solo homers as the Reds try to stay in the National League wild-card race and chase down the Mets, who hold one of those three playoff spots. Those were also the only hits the home team got off Mets starter Jonah Tong (1-1) in the rookie right-hander’s six innings.
New York leadoff batter Francisco Lindor went 3-for-4 with two doubles. He scored from third on an Emilio Pagan wild pitch in the ninth. Pagan overcame two hits and the run in the inning by striking out three to get the Reds back to .500. Singer (13-9) allowed one run on four hits, struck out five and walked four.
Yankees 3, Blue Jays 1
Luis Gil pitched six effective innings in his longest start since returning from a strained lat that sidelined him for four months, and New York withstood a lengthy rain delay for a victory over visiting Toronto.
Gil (3-1) allowed one run before heavy rain delayed the game for one hour, 46 minutes. Gil was also aided by strong defense in right field when Cody Bellinger threw out Bo Bichette on a close play. It helped the Yankees win for the 10th time in 13 games and move three games behind Toronto for the AL East lead. Jasson Dominguez hit an RBI single in the second and Wells lifted a pair sacrifice flies as the Yankees eked out their fourth win in 12 meetings with Toronto.
Chris Bassitt (11-8) allowed two unearned runs on three hits in five innings. He struck out three and walked three in an 80-pitch outing.
Brewers 4, Pirates 1
Brandon Woodruff threw six shutout innings, and Jake Bauers and Jackson Chourio each hit two-run home runs to lead Milwaukee to a victory over host Pittsburgh.
Woodruff (6-2) allowed only two hits and struck out eight as he bounced back from his worst start of the season last Sunday at Toronto and helped the Brewers win for the third time in four games.
Reynolds and Triolo each had two hits to lead the Pirates, who lost back-to-back games for the first time since Aug. 16-17. Oneil Cruz had Pittsburgh’s RBI on a ninth-inning groundout.
Phillies 4, Marlins 2
Bryce Harper belted a two-run homer and Jesus Luzardo tossed six strong innings against his former team, fueling Philadelphia to a victory over host Miami.
The Phillies’ Harrison Bader had an RBI single and scored on Bryson Stott’s sacrifice fly in the fourth inning. Luzardo (13-6) allowed two runs on five hits and struck out eight batters to improve to 1-1 in three outings against the Marlins this season. He pitched for Miami in parts of the last four years.
Eric Wagaman had an RBI double, and Javier Sanoja added a run-scoring single for the Marlins, who have lost five in a row overall and seven of nine meetings with Philadelphia this season.
Guardians 3, Rays 2
Steven Kwan delivered a go-ahead RBI single with two outs in the ninth as Cleveland won its second straight over host Tampa Bay.
Against Pete Fairbanks (4-5), Kwan grounded a two-bouncer between shortstop and third that was fielded, but he beat it out, scoring Daniel Schneemann in the process. Guardians closer Cade Smith then worked a perfect ninth for his 10th save in relief of Hunter Gaddis (2-2). Schneemann went 2-for-3 with a double, two RBIs and a run. Starting pitcher Tanner Bibee hurled 6 2/3 innings and yielded two runs on five hits.
Josh Lowe hit a solo homer for the Rays. Tristan Gray was 2-for-2 with a double and a run. Starter Shane Baz allowed two runs on five hits in five innings while striking out eight.
Diamondbacks 5, Red Sox 1
James McCann had three hits and scored twice, Brandon Pfaadt pitched six strong innings to earn his 13th victory and Arizona beat Boston in Phoenix.
Adrian Del Castillo had two hits and Jake McCarthy had two RBIs for the D-backs, who have won four in a row and eight of 10. Pfaadt (13-8) gave up one run on six hits, with seven strikeouts and no walks. Arizona moved over .500 for the first time since July 1 and closed to within 4 1/2 games of the New York Mets for the final NL wild-card spot.
Masataka Yoshida had an RBI single and Romy Gonzalez extended his hitting streak to nine games for the Red Sox, who have lost three in a row. Boston fell to 4 1/2 games behind Toronto in the AL East and 1 1/2 behind the New York Yankees for the first AL wild-card position.
Royals 11, Twins 2
Salvador Perez’s three-run homer highlighted a five-run first inning against Minnesota All-Star Joe Ryan, who had never previously lost to Kansas City, as the host Royals rolled to a victory.

The Cardinals trailed 2-0 in the ninth inning before scoring three times against Giants closer Ryan Walker (5-5). Kyle Leahy pitched two scoreless innings and reliever Riley O’Brien (3-0) pitched the top of the ninth to earn the victory.
Justin Verlander pitched six scoreless innings for the Giants, who missed an opportunity to gain ground on the New York Mets in the NL wild card race. Verlander held the Cardinals to three hits while striking out six batters. He climbed into eighth on baseball’s all-time strikeout list with 3,536, passing Gaylord Perry.
Nationals 2, Cubs 1
Rookie Daylen Lile homered to lead off the fourth and Brad Lord tossed 5 2/3 strong innings, lifting visiting Washington to a victory over Chicago.
Lile collected two hits to improve to 9-for-19 with five extra-base hits, six RBIs and six runs in five games this month. Jorge Alfaro had an RBI single in the first inning to highlight his two-hit performance for the Nationals, who have won four of their last five games.
Chicago’s Pete Crow-Armstrong had a double and scored on a groundout in the second inning before exiting in the sixth after fouling a ball off his right knee. Matthew Boyd (12-8) settled for the hard-luck loss despite permitting two runs on seven hits in seven innings.
Astros 11, Rangers 0
Christian Walker and Yordan Alvarez blasted solo home runs to back the splendid start from pitcher Hunter Brown as Houston walloped Texas in Arlington, Texas.
Brown (11-7) outdueled Rangers ace Jacob deGrom, producing six shutout innings while allowing four hits and three walks and striking out eight in his 107-pitch outing. Enyel De Los Santos and rookies Jayden Murray and Logan VanWey followed Brown to the mound for the Astros in the shutout.
deGrom (11-7) allowed three runs in 5 1/3 innings, surrendering five hits and walking two while striking out eight. He was pulled with two on in the sixth for reliever Cole Winn, who allowed an RBI double to Yainer Diaz.
Padres 10, Rockies 8
Fernando Tatis Jr. homered and singled to reach 700 career hits, Freddy Fermin had two hits and drove in three runs, and San Diego beat Colorado in Denver.
Luis Arraez and Ryan O’Hearn had three hits apiece and Ramon Laureano finished with two hits to help San Diego notch 16 hits and end a five-game skid. The Padres gained a game on the Los Angeles Dodgers, who lost at Baltimore and saw their National League West lead cut to one game.
Hunter Goodman set a Colorado record for home runs by a catcher with his 29th, Jordan Beck and Mickey Moniak also went deep, Ezequiel Tovar, Warming Bernabel and Beck each had three hits and Moniak contributed two hits for the Rockies, who had 14 hits.

GOLF NEWS
ALEX CEJKA, STEWART CINK TIED ATOP STIFEL CHARITY CLASSIC
Germany’s Alex Cejka is tied with first-round leader Stewart Cink after 36 holes of the Stifel Charity Classic on Saturday in St. Louis.
Cejka fired a 5-under-par 66 to move up four spots at Norwood Hills Country Club. Cink also is at 9 under for the tournament after he followed Friday’s 7-under 64 with 69 on Saturday.
Cink, who placed third last year at this course when the event was still called the Ascension Charity Classic, started fast with a birdie on the par-4 first hole. But he more than gave that back with a double-bogey 7 on No. 8 in an otherwise clean 1-over 37 on the front nine.
“I had a little weird thing on 7 and made double there. I’d like to have one shot over,” Cink said. “But all in all, today was really clean and organized and disciplined. … Today didn’t yield that much, but it still put me with a chance to make a run at this tomorrow.”
His bogey-free back nine included birdies at Nos. 11, 14 and 15.
Cejka has three career wins on the PGA Tour Champions but none this year with six top-10 finishes while making every cut in all 18 events played coming into this week.
“I’m trying,” Cejka said Saturday of coming up short in 2025. “We have so many great players, and they seem to play good every week. If I want to have a chance, I really have to shoot another 4-, 5-, 6-under tomorrow. I think this is what it’s going to take. It would be great. … I’ve been playing well. Just haven’t had it done. We’ll see. I’ve got to just stick to my plan, play, hit a lot of fairways and, hopefully, I make enough putts tomorrow.”
He recorded birdies at Nos. 7, 8, 11, 14, 15 and 16, with the only blemish a bogey at the par-4 No. 9.
“I’m pretty pleased overall,” said Cejka, whose last win was the Senior Open Championship in 2023. “I hit the ball pretty solid. I hit a lot of fairways. That’s the key here, especially some of the pins are tucked so you want to come in from the fairway. Really hit good shots even to the green. If I missed a couple shots, I missed it in the right spot, and there was also the key.”
“The putting, the lag putting was good,” he continued. “I made a couple good birdie putts, and overall, I’m just starting to play better and better.”
Paul Stankowski (67 on Saturday) and Denmark’s Thomas Bjorn (69) are tied for third, one stroke back at 8 under going into Sunday’s third and final round.
Tim O’Neal (66) is at 7 under, South Korea’s Charlie Wi (69) is 6 under, followed by a pack of five golfers at 5 under.
Last year’s champion, Y.E. Yang of South Korea, is tied for 29th at 2 under after a round of 3-over 74.

TOP INDIANA HEADLINES/PRESS RELEASES
INDIANA FOOTBALL
HOOSIERS ROUTE KENNESAW STATE TO MOVE TO 2-0
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Omar Cooper Jr. ran. Boy, did the Indiana receiver run, around the end, down the sideline, avoiding tacklers and the sideline along the way en route to making Hoosier receiver history.
His 75-yard touchdown run highlighted a second-half IU onslaught that delivered a 56-9 victory over Kennesaw State (0-2) Saturday afternoon at Merchants Bank Field at Memorial Stadium. The No. 23/21 Hoosiers (2-0) had 593 total yards.
“It was a good day,” head coach Curt Cignetti said. “We made the improvement we needed to make. We were far from perfect, but we took a step forward, a step we needed.”
It was Cooper Jr.’s longest career run (his previous best was 16 against Michigan State last year) and tied Shane Wynn’s program record for longest touchdown run by a receiver.
“We had some good blocks,” Cooper Jr. said. “The O-line did well. (Receiver Elijah Sarratt) secured the defensive end. Both of our tight ends — Holden Staes and Riley Nowakowski — blocked down field. I appreciate them. They helped me get the job done.”
As far as negotiating the sidelines and nearly getting caught by the defense before the goal line, Cooper Jr. added, “I tried to save as much space as I could so I wouldn’t go out. I got tired at the end. I have to get better at that.”
The Hoosiers ran for 313 yards, their second-straight 300-yard rushing effort. Lee Beebe Jr. led with 90 yards and a touchdown.
“All those guys are capable,” Cignetti said. “It started up front with the line and the tight ends and receivers. They run hard and broke tackles.”
Quarterback Fernando Mendoza threw. Boy, did he throw, for four touchdowns and 245 yards while completing 18-of 25 attempts. A couple of dropped passes prevented it from being an even bigger day in a major improvement from his Old Dominion Hoosier debut.
“I’m getting closer,” Mendoza said. “Sometimes I get a little too excited, especially against Old Dominion. I wanted to have that perfect game, that perfect debut and show Hoosier fans what I have.
“I had to go back to the fundamentals. It’s what Coach Cignetti always preaches, one play at a time, play like it’s 0-0. Anybody who follows that process sees success.
“I still left opportunities on the table. We have to keep working to get closer to take the standard to the next level and keep this momentum going.”
Sarratt caught nine of those passes — on 19 targets — for 97 yards and three touchdowns. Against Old Dominion, he had just three catches on five targets for 44 yards.
“He was fantastic,” Mendoza said. “I didn’t target him enough the other day. I think I did today. I still have to throw the ball around.”
Added Cignetti: “I was glad to see him get going. He didn’t have a lot of catches in the first game. I was glad to see to see him bust out.”
IU’s three third-quarter touchdowns in a six-minute burst to highlight a 35-0 second-half run sealed the victory.
“I like the way the guys kept playing,” Cignetti said. “It was one play at a time. It was great to see. The last time we waxed somebody was Purdue (a 66-0 victory last November). It was good to get back to that.”
While the defense again gave up some big plays, it had 14 tackles for loss, an interception and a forced fumble and recovery while only allowing 271 yards and 10 first downs.
“We still have a lot of things we need to clean up, especially myself with tackling,” linebacker Aiden Fisher said. “We took more advantage of opportunities when we had them to end up with the result we got.
“We wanted to be aggressive. This defense is built on tackles for loss and explosive plays. It’s jelling together, playing better, playing faster, more physical, and getting vertical in gaps than we did in Week 1.”
Added defensive lineman Kellan Wyatt, who had a team-leading nine tackles with 2.5 for loss: “We played well, but we still have a lot of things to clean up.
“We had more penetration. We made more plays in the backfield. You make one, and it snowballs. You want to make another one.
“We wanted to finish the fourth quarter. I think we did.”
*****
Nowakowski’s 1-yard touchdown run gave IU a 7-0 lead midway through the first quarterback. It was set up by Mendoza passes of 13 and six yards to Sarratt, and 40 yards to Cooper Jr.
A blocked punt by defensive back Clay Connor gave IU the ball at midfield. The Hoosiers capitalized with Mendoza’s 9-yard TD pass to Sarratt for a 14-0 lead late in the first quarter.
After a Kennesaw State field goal, Mendoza threw and Beebe Jr. ran the Hoosiers to a touchdown and a 21-3 late-second-quarter lead. Beebe scored on an 11-yard run.
The Owls added a field goal for a 21-6 halftime score. Mendoza threw for 144 yards and a touchdown. Beebe had 62 rushing yards and a TD. Sarratt had six catches for 70 yards and a touchdown.
Kennesaw State got another field goal to cut the lead to 21-9 early in the third quarter. IU countered with Mendoza’s 3-yard touchdown pass to Sarratt for a 28-9 score midway through the third quarter.
Defensive back Jamari Sharpe forced and recovered a fumble. Cooper Jr. ran 75 yards for a touchdown on the next play for a 35-9 third-quarter lead.
Defensive back Louis Moore’s second interception of the season set up Mendoza’s 20-yard touchdown pass to Sarratt and a 42-9 score. He added an eight-yard scoring throw to E.J. Williams Jr. before he was taken out of the game and backup quarterback Alberto Mendoza ended the scoring with a six-yard touchdown throw to Charlie Becker.
The strong finish, Cignetti said, didn’t offer relief.
“I’m never relieved on the field. You have to keep the pedal to the metal. You either improve or get worse. If you play to the circumstances of the game, you’re getting worse. Play the next play at your very best. Those are habits you have to have.”

PURDUE FOOTBALL
BOILERMAKERS BOUNCE SALUKIS TO START 2-0
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue Football cruised to a 34-17 win against Southern Illinois under the lights of Ross-Ade Stadium on Saturday night.
The Boilermakers are 2-0 for the first time since 2021, making head coach Barry Odom the first Purdue coach to start his tenure 2-0 since Cleo O’Donnell in 1916.
Both offenses started hot, scoring touchdowns on the first four drives of the games to knot the score at 14-14 by the end of the first quarter.
But the Boilermaker defense found its footing and held strong from there on out. Purdue went on to score on six of its eight drives, with no punts.
MOCK TRAIN ROLLS
Senior running back Devin Mockobee rushed 32 times for 126 yards and two touchdowns, his first career game housing multiple rushing scores and the most rushing attempts of his career. Overall, it was his most productive rushing performance since the Oregon State game last season (Sept. 21, 2024), when he had 168 yards on 16 carries.
Mockobee continued his surge up the school career rushing charts, moving to No. 7 in attempts (551), No. 5 in yards (2,651), No. 9 in touchdowns (22) and tied for No. 4 in 100-yard rushing games (nine).
BROWNE POINTS
Quarterback Ryan Browne was an efficient 14-of-23 for 170 yards and two touchdowns through the air, spreading the ball around to nine different receivers.
The dual-threat sophomore also made the Salukis pay on the ground, keeping it nine times for 50 yards. Browne led Purdue’s offense to scores on six of their first seven drives and commanded the time of possession, 36:46 to SIU’s 23:14.
Tight end George Burhenn emerged to have his best game since Nov. 25, 2023. The sophomore led the Boilers with three catches for 48 yards. Arhmad Branch opened Purdue’s scoring and found the end zone for the second time this season on a 13-yard pass from Browne. He finished with two catches for 31 yards.
Georgia transfer Nitro Tuggle scored his first career touchdown near the end of the first quarter, catching a 29-yarder from Browne.
DEFENSE FIRMS UP
After two SIU scores to start the game, the Boilermaker defense bowed up and kept them out of the end zone the rest of the way.
CJ Nunnally IV registered two sacks, his third career multi-sack game and first as a Boilermaker. He did so on back-to-back plays in the fourth quarter for a loss of 18 yards, forcing a 4th-and-28.
Charles Correa made the play that arguably spurred the defense into form, notching his first career sack on a 3rd-and-1 when the score was 14-14, forcing the Salukis’ first punt.
Tahj Ra-El led the defense for the second time in two games this season with seven tackles (all solos). The Boilers held SIU to just 81 yards rushing on 26 carries, an average of 3.1 per rush.
PORATH STAYS PERFECT
Kicker Spencer Porath was perfect again on Saturday night, converting both of his field goal attempts. He knocked through a 28-yarder and a 43-yarder, the latter the second-longest of his career. Porath is now 3-for-3 on the season.
UP NEXT
Purdue will stay home to open Big Ten Conference play next Saturday, hosting the USC Trojans for the first time since Sept. 25, 1976. Live on CBS, kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. ET in Ross-Ade Stadium.

BUTLER FOOTBALL
BULLDOGS GIVE COACH KEVIN LYNCH FIRST WIN WITH 37-27 VICTORY OVER TRUMAN STATE
Butler picked up its first win of 2025 as the Bulldogs defeated Truman State, 37-27, in the team’s home opener Saturday afternoon at the Sellick Bowl in Indianapolis.
The win is the first career victory for head coach Kevin Lynch, who was hired in December to lead the Butler program.
Butler opened up a 28-7 lead with a touchdown less than three minutes into the second half before 20 straight points by Truman State pulled the visitors within a single point at 28-27. The ensuing PAT was blocked by the Bulldogs who returned it for a two-point conversion and a 30-27 advantage.
Butler’s defense limited the Truman State offense to only three completions on 14 fourth-quarter passing attempts to seal the win.
With the win, Butler levels its record at 1-1, while Truman State falls to 0-2.
LINES OF SCRIMMAGE:
Reagan Andrew accounted for Butler’s first four touchdowns – two passing and two rushing – before leaving the game in the third quarter with an injury. His shortened day ended with 156 passing yards on 14-for-17 throwing and 34 rushing yards.
Ethan Loss caught eight passes for 106 yards for Butler. He added 34 rushing yards on two carries.
Jarrin Alley came on in relief of the injured Andrew at quarterback, completing eight of his 10 attempts for 62 yards in the second half.
Ten different Bulldogs caught passes Saturday, including six receptions by Cameron Heald. Ethan Malafa, Brady Preston and Ershod Jasey II each caught touchdown passes.
Running back Griffin Caldwell threw the 24-yard touchdown pass to Malafa on a halfback toss for Butler’s final touchdown of the game, a score that gave Butler the 37-27 lead with 9:08 remaining.
Luke Green blocked two Truman State PATs; Will Mason scooped up the second block for a 95-yard two-point conversion in the third quarter. Mason also led the Bulldogs with eight tackles.
Butler had 10 pass breakups on the afternoon, led by three from Onye Onuoha.
Dylan Hair had 221 yards passing for Truman State, completing 14 of his 31 attempts.
Butler has won five straight home openers.
The Bulldogs are 16-4 when playing at the Sellick Bowl since the beginning of the 2022 season.
Saturday’s game served as the first meeting between the two programs.
Truman State is a member of the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC), which is headquartered in Indianapolis and also includes the University of Indianapolis.
UP NEXT: The Bulldogs return to the road for a Saturday game at Hanover. The kick is set for 1:30 p.m. in southern Indiana. Following another road game at Weber State Sept. 20, Butler returns to the Sellick Bowl Sept. 27 to host Marist. The game serves as the PFL opener for the Bulldogs and it will be Homecoming Weekend on the Butler campus.

BALL STATE FOOTBALL
CARDINALS FACE ROAD DEFEAT AT AUBURN
AUBURN, Ala. – Ball State made its fourth visit to Jordan-Hare Stadium Saturday afternoon, falling to Auburn 42-3.
The Cardinals’ (0-2, 0-0 MAC) defense was able to get by the Tigers’ (2-0, 0-0 SEC) offensive line early in the contest, with redshirt senior defensive tackle Drew Hughes and redshirt junior linebacker DeJuan Echoles Jr. each capturing their first career sacks in the first quarter of play. After a sack a piece from redshirt junior linebacker Caden Johnson and redshirt senior defensive tackle Scott Hudson in the second, the Cardinals tallied four total, the most sacks in a single half since recording six in the second half against Kent State last season.
Echoles’ sack was accompanied by his first career forced fumble. Auburn put the ball on the turf five times in all, and the Ball State defense managed five sacks overall. But the offense’s inability to sustain drives kept the Cardinals’ defense on the field most of the evening..
Despite the early effort, the Tigers broke through for two scores in the first period, followed by a third in the second to put Auburn ahead 21-0 at the half. Auburn went on to reach the endzone three more times in the second half.
Sophomore defensive back Will Yates led the Cardinals with seven total tackles, followed by defensive backs Michael Gravely Jr. and DJ Fields with six, and Johnson with four.
Redshirt senior linebacker Joey Stemler forced and recovered an Auburn fumble in the third, which set up Ball State on the Tigers’ 23. Redshirt junior kicker Carson Holmer secured a field goal eight plays later from 22 yards, giving the Cardinals three points on the board.
The Cardinals’ longest drive of the night came from a 10-play, 53-yard drive which began late in the first period and included a grab from redshirt junior receiver Eric Weatherly, who led the Ball State receiving corps with five receptions. It was the 25th consecutive game in which he has caught a pass — spanning three seasons. Only a play later, redshirt senior quarterback Kiael Kelly rambled for a 21-yard gain that was Ball State’s longest play of the game, and his longest run of the season. The drive concluded with Kelly’s fumble, though, on the following play.
Up next, the Cardinals host New Hampshire for Ball State’s home opener at Scheumann Stadium, Sept. 13, with kickoff slated for 2 p.m. Tailgate lots open at 10 a.m.

INDIANA STATE FOOTBALL
SYCAMORES MOVE TO 2-0 WITH DOMINANT 38-14 WIN OVER EASTERN ILLINOIS ON VINCENT ALLEN DAY
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – The Indiana State offense rolled out to an early lead and the Sycamore defensive line controlled the line of scrimmage late as Indiana State topped visiting Eastern Illinois on Saturday afternoon inside Memorial Stadium, 38-14.
The Sycamores honored Indiana State football legend Vincent Allen in a pregame ceremony on the field as friends and family were in attendance in retiring the former All-American’s number 26 jersey. When the ball was kicked off, it was like Allen was back on the field as Indiana State racked up 211 rushing yards in a dominant ground display in snapping a two-game losing streak to the Panthers.
Indiana State (2-0) took control of the game early as the Sycamore defense forced a three-and-out on EIU’s (1-1) opening possession, while Plez Lawrence hauled in a 19-yard touchdown reception to claim the early momentum.
Redshirt junior quarterback Keegan Patterson stepped up following an injury in the second quarter and delivered an early four-yard touchdown strike to Larry Stephens III. Jayden Childers followed with an interception and 16-yard return to set up a 25-yard Sebastian Lopez field goal to give the Sycamores a 17-0 halftime lead.
The Indiana State offense cruised in the second half as Lawrence (four-yard) and Nick Osho (31-yard) recorded rushing touchdowns, while Rashad Rochelle hauled in a 40-yard touchdown reception as the Sycamores pulled away from the Panthers.
The Sycamore defense, paced by Logan Wilson (nine tackles, 3.0 TFL, 1.5 sacks) and Braxton Sampson (eight tackles, 3.0 TFL, 1 forced fumble), controlled the line of scrimmage on Saturday afternoon. EIU was limited to just 89 rushing yards on 45 carries, one week after recording an FCS-leading 336 rushing yards in the Panthers’ win over Dayton.
Lucas McAllister (nine tackles, 2.5 TFL) and Ahmond Glass (seven tackles, 1.5 TFL, 1.0 sacks) also attacked the line of scrimmage as Indiana State recorded 14.0 tackles behind the line of scrimmage and 5.0 sacks in the game.
Patterson was 11-of-17 through the air for 111 yards and two touchdowns, while adding five carries for 78 yards on the ground. Elijah Owens was 9-of-10 for 67 yards and a score, while adding 50 yards on the ground in the win.
Stephens III posted a game-high five catches for 63 yards and a score, while Rochelle hauled in five receptions for 57 yards and his first touchdown of the season. Rochelle added five returns for a combined 70 all-purpose yards in the game.
Connor Wolf (9-of-13, 112 passing yards) was effective behind center in the second half for EIU, while running back Charles Kellom finished with 23 carries for 86 yards and two touchdowns. Carlyun Neal was the team leader with two catches for 37 yards.
Saipeti Maiava Jr. paced all players with 11 tackles in the loss, while Kaleb Lyons had seven tackles and 3.0 TFL on the line.
How They Scored
Indiana State struck first on their opening drive as Plez Lawrence hauled in a 19-yard touchdown reception from Elijah Owens capping a five-play, 45-yard drive to give the Sycamores the 7-0 lead with 11:49 remaining in the first quarter.
The Sycamores made it 14-0 in the second quarter as Keegan Patterson found Larry Stephens III all by himself for a four-yard touchdown pass in the back of the end zone to cap a 12-play, 57-yard drive. The drive was aided by a trio of EIU penalties inside the red zone before the Patterson touchdown pass.
Indiana State added to the lead on their ensuing drive as Sebastian Lopez converted a 25-yard field goal attempt with 3:19 remaining in the second quarter to stretch the lead to 17-0. The Sycamores’ scoring opportunity was sparked by Jayden Childers’ 16-yard interception return into the EIU red zone.
Charles Kellom put EIU on the scoreboard with 8:47 remaining in the third quarter as the Panthers’ running back scored on a 13-yard carry over the left tackle to cap a 10-play, 65-yard drive. The EIU drive was kept alive on an Indiana State roughing the passer penalty that put the Panthers inside the Sycamores’ 25.
Indiana State responded to make it a 24-7 lead at the 3:34 mark in the third quarter as Lawrence found the end zone for the second time of the game with a four-yard touchdown run capping a seven-play, 84-yard drive. Patterson had the big play of the drive with a 47-yard carry up the middle, while also connecting on a 26-yard pass to Talan White.
Kellom put EIU back on the scoreboard in the fourth quarter to make it a 24-14 game with a two-yard touchdown plunge to cap a 13-play, 71-yard scoring drive at the 10:20 mark. The Panthers’ drive was aided by another Indiana State pass interference penalty, while quarterback Connor Wolf added a 20-yard completion to Carlyun Neal.
Indiana State responded and pushed the lead to 31-14 as Patterson looked off the safety before finding Rashad Rochelle all alone down the right sideline for a 40-yard touchdown connection at the 8:42 mark in the fourth quarter.
The Sycamores capped the scoring as Nick Osho scored on a 31-yard touchdown run with 3:10 remaining to close out the 38-14 win.

VALPO FOOTBALL
VALPO EDGED IN WEEK-2 CLIFFHANGER ON LATE SCORE
The Valparaiso University football team scored to grab the lead on a dramatic 3-yard touchdown run by Dawaiian McNeely (Ceres, Calif. / Central Catholic [Wyoming]) with 1:25 remaining on Saturday night at Brown Field, but Adrian battled back with a late touchdown of its own with 26 seconds on the clock and eventually pulled down a game-ending interception to beat the Beacons 10-7.
How It Happened
The Valpo defense notched an early turnover when Gabriel Batres (Fairfield, Calif. / Angelo Rodriguez) forced a fumble and De’Andre Wilborn (Chicago, Ill. / Westinghouse [Georgetown]) recovered at the Valpo 44 with 9:03 left in the opening quarter.
The Bulldogs responded with a takeaway of their own as that Valpo drive ended with an interception. The Valpo defense forced a three-and-out and a punt, and the game was scoreless through one quarter.
The teams exchanged punts early in the second quarter. Midway through the period, the Beacons drove into the redzone, but were stopped on fourth-and-1
The Bulldogs converted a pair of fourth downs on their next possession, eventually getting on the board when Jack Boike nailed a 33-yard field goal with 41 seconds to go in the half.
Adrian received the ball to start the second half and converted one fourth-down try before being stopped on fourth-and-1 at the Valpo 9.
The Bulldogs added to their takeaway total with an interception and forced fumble in the third quarter, but the Beacon defense stood tall and kept it 3-0 through three.
Valpo’s first possession of the fourth quarter ended with a lost fumble. Adrian’s ensuing drive finished with a missed field goal.
The Beacons put together their best drive of the day. Quarterback Rowan Keefe (Park Ridge, Ill. / Maine South) connected with Jay Melchiori (Marengo, Ohio / Highland [Marietta]) for passes of 12 and 15 yards while McNeely had a rush of 18. Ryan Ricketti (Rocky River, Ohio / Rocky River) also had a big catch on third down that kept the drive going. Eventually, McNeely plunged into the end zone from three yards out, and Luke Scoma (Bellevue, Wash. / Bellevue) tacked on the extra point to make it 7-3 in favor of the Beacons with 1:20 to go.
Adrian completed passes of 30, 20 and 26 yards in succession, the third of those going for a touchdown with 26 seconds on the clock, putting the Bulldogs ahead 10-7.
Melchiori hauled in a 34-yard grab to move the ball to the Adrian 43, but an interception concluded the contest.
Inside the Game
The team’s top tackler was Anthony Feltrinelli (Westfield, Ind. / Westfield), who racked up 14 including six solos. Nick Lendino (Naperville, Ill. / Neuqua Valley) added eight tackles, while Wilborn had 2.5 tackles for loss. The last Valpo player with more than 14 tackles in a game was Jake Birmingham on Nov. 16 of last season at Dayton (15).
This was Valpo’s first loss by three points or fewer since Oct. 14, 2023, a 24-21 setback vs. Morehead State.
Redshirt freshman Noah Long (Liberty Hill, Texas / Liberty Hill) had 11 carries for 57 yards to lead a short-handed Beacons team, which played without star running back Michael Mansaray due to an injury.
McNeely’s touchdown was his second of the season and the fourth of his collegiate career.
The Beacons moved the ball and punted just twice, but five turnovers were the biggest bugaboo, the team’s most since Sept. 9, 2023 against Indiana Wesleyan (6).
Melchiori, Ricketti and Chris Gundy (Smithfield, Va. / Smithfield) had four catches apiece with Melchiori’s 66 receiving yards marking a team high.
Keefe went 15-of-19 through the air for 153 yards, tying his career high for completions in a game set on Nov. 4, 2023 vs. Dayton.
This marked Valpo’s fewest points allowed in a loss since also falling 10-7 on Sept. 28, 1996 at San Diego.

TODAY IN BASEBALL HISTORY
Sept. 7

1911 — Rookie Grover Alexander of the Philadelphia Phillies took a 1-0 thriller from 44-year-old Cy Young, who was closing out his career with the Boston Braves.
1914 — The Boston Braves had to move its home games to Fenway Park because Braves Field was not big enough to handle the crowds. The “Miracle Braves” played the rest of their home games and the World Series games at the home of the Red Sox.
1923 — Howard Ehmke of the Boston Red Sox tossed a 4-0, no-hit victory over the Philadelphia Athletics. Philadelphia’s Slim Harriss hit a ball to the wall for a double, but was called out for missing first base, preserving the no-hitter.
1962 — Maury Wills of Los Angeles stole four bases and set a National League record with a total of 82 for the season. The Dodgers lost to the Pittsburgh Pirates 10-1.
1975 — The Cincinnati Reds, leading by 20 1/2 games, clinched the National League West flag with an 8-4 win over the San Franciso Giants. It was the earliest clinching date in league history.
1984 — Dwight Gooden of the Mets struck out Ron Cey of the Chicago Cubs in the second inning for No. 228 to set a National League record for a rookie. Gooden passed Grover Cleveland Alexander, who set the mark with 227 in 1911. New York coasted to a 10-0 victory behind Gooden’s one-hitter.
1993 — Mark Whiten of the St. Louis Cardinals had the greatest game at the plate in major league history in the nightcap of a doubleheader with Cincinnati. In the 15-2 win, Whiten hit four home runs and drove in 12 runs to become the only player to accomplish both feats in one game.
2007 — Curtis Granderson hit his 20th home run in Detroit’s 6-1 win over Seattle, making him only the sixth major league player since 1900 with at least 20 home runs, 20 doubles and 20 triples in one season.
2007 — Colorado used nine relievers after starter Elmer Dessens left with a strained left hamstring in the third inning of a 10-4 win over San Diego. The 10 total pitchers was a National League record for a nine-inning game.
2013 — Mike Napoli hit two home runs, Jonny Gomes and prized rookie Xander Bogaerts also connected, and the Boston Red Sox kept up their dizzying scoring spree at Yankee Stadium, bashing New York 13-9. The AL East leaders became the first visiting team in more than a century to score at least nine runs on three straight days against the Yankees. The last time it happened, they weren’t called the Yankees — Boston did it in 1912 to the Highlanders at Hilltop Park.
2017 — The Cleveland Indians set a franchise record with their 15th consecutive win, beating the Chicago White Sox 11-2 behind another terrific outing for Corey Kluber. Cleveland also belted five homers while becoming the first major league team with a 15-game winning streak since Oakland won 20 in a row in 2002.
