NFL NEWS

NFL ROUNDUP: BEARS SCORE 59 IN RECORD-SETTING WEEK 1 WIN OVER PANTHERS

Caleb Williams threw for two touchdowns and ran for two more and the Chicago Bears pulled away for a 59-37 victory against the Carolina Panthers in Charlotte in the highest-scoring Week 1 game in NFL history.

In the teams’ season opener, D’Andre Swift scored three touchdown runs and rushed for 124 yards on 18 carries for Chicago. Williams completed 21 of 29 passes for 269 yards and added 65 rushing yards. Kyle Monangai gained 100 yards on 10 carries, including a 61-yard TD.

Panthers quarterback Bryce Young threw two of his three touchdown passes to Jalen Coker. Young was 23-of-37 passing for 361 yards with one interception. Coker made eight catches for 138 yards. Chuba Hubbard scored touchdowns on a run and a reception.

The Panthers pulled even at 31-31 on Hubbard’s 2-yard run with 9:02 left in the third quarter. From there, the Bears posted the next three touchdowns on runs by Swift (1 yard), Monangai and Williams’ 1-yard pass to Jahdae Walker. Later, Swift found the end zone from 28 yards out.

Bills 36, Texans 31

Josh Allen accounted for four touchdowns and tossed the decisive 34-yard scoring pass to Joshua Palmer with 1:36 remaining as Buffalo won in Houston for the first time in 20 years with a wild victory over the Texans.

Allen completed 20 of 29 passes for 334 yards and two touchdowns and added two rushing scores while winning in Houston for the first time in five career attempts, including the postseason. The touchdown throw to Palmer capped a seven-play, 96-yard drive.

Dalton Kincaid had five receptions for 130 yards and DJ Moore had five catches for 100 yards and one touchdown in his Buffalo debut. Tyler Bass kicked three field goals and Rousseau had two sacks as the Bills won in Joe Brady’s first game as head coach. David Montgomery rushed for two touchdowns and caught another in his Texans debut.

Lions 31, Saints 30 (OT)

Jahmyr Gibbs rushed for 156 yards and two touchdowns, Jared Goff threw two touchdown passes to Amon-Ra St. Brown and host Detroit held off New Orleans in overtime.

Detroit got the ball first in overtime and Goff threw a 4-yard TD pass to St. Brown for a 31-24 lead with 5:04 remaining in the extra period. Tyler Shough drove the Saints down the field on the ensuing drive and threw an 8-yard touchdown pass to Noah Fant, but his two-point conversion pass was incomplete in the back of the end zone.

Shough recovered from three turnovers to pass for 410 yards and three touchdowns, including a 9-yard strike to Juwan Johnson late in regulation that forced OT. Chris Olave hauled in 10 receptions for 182 yards.

Jaguars 34, Browns 10

Trevor Lawrence threw four touchdown passes and Jacksonville dominated visiting Cleveland and Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson.

Lawrence completed 18 of 23 passes for 245 yards as Jacksonville built a 31-0 lead before tapping the brakes in the second half. Parker Washington caught Lawrence’s first TD pass and led the Jaguars with five receptions for 83 yards. Ten Jacksonville receivers caught at least one pass.

With the Browns down 34-3, Watson threw a 46-yard TD pass to rookie Denzel Boston with 1:52 remaining in the game. Watson was 16-of-22 passing for 205 yards and an interception, but he also fumbled and was sacked five times.

Steelers 20, Falcons 13

Aaron Rodgers began his final NFL season by throwing for 221 yards and a score and T.J. Watt returned an interception for a touchdown to help Pittsburgh hold off visiting Atlanta.

Watt also had three tackles for loss and two sacks for the Steelers, who won their third straight season opener. Cooper Rush completed 12 of 22 passes for 143 yards and a touchdown while throwing two interceptions for the Falcons. Bijan Robinson rushed for 83 yards and had eight catches for 90 yards and a score.

Facing a 13-7 halftime deficit, Atlanta threatened to cut the margin in half on its first drive of the second half, but Nick Folk missed his second field goal attempt of the game — this time a 45-yard try. So when Folk hit from 51 later in the third quarter, the Falcons still trailed 13-10. But Watt’s touchdown less than a minute into the fourth made the lead too big for Atlanta to overcome.

Bengals 33, Buccaneers 27

Cincinnati’s overhauled defense converted three first-half fumbles into touchdowns and led the Bengals past visiting Tampa Bay.

Joe Burrow finished 25-of-35 passing for 254 yards, a touchdown and an interception for the Bengals, who finished with four forced turnovers. Baker Mayfield was 23-of-28 for 216 yards and a touchdown run for the Buccaneers, who dropped their first season opener since 2020. Mayfield lost three fumbles for the first time in his career.

Evan McPherson converted all four field goal attempts, including kicks of 55 and 58 yards, to help Cincinnati to its first Week 1 win at home since beating Minnesota in 2021.

Jets 23, Titans 10

Kenyon Sadiq and Breece Hall ran for touchdowns, Geno Smith threw for 215 yards and visiting New York put the clamps on Tennessee. The outcome spoiled the first game as Tennessee’s coach for former Jets boss Robert Saleh.

Smith was 19-of-24 in winning his first start for the Jets since 2016. Hall added 102 yards on 22 rushes as the Jets outgained Tennessee 367-195 and hogged the ball for 38 minutes and 46 seconds.

Cam Ward struggled most of the game for the Titans, hitting 19 of 32 passes for only 140 yards and a late touchdown. Ward played under constant pressure as New York recorded three sacks and forced him into inaccurate throws.

Ravens 41, Colts 23

Derrick Henry scored three touchdowns to move into third place on the all-time rushing TDs list and rushed for 144 yards to power visiting Baltimore past Indianapolis.

Ravens wideout Zay Flowers (hamstring) had five receptions for a career-high 150 yards before he was ruled out. Lamar Jackson had 324 yards passing with a touchdown pass to Flowers and ran for a score while Henry (125) passed Marcus Allen (123) on the TD list.

Daniel Jones passed for 166 yards, one TD and one interception, while Jonathan Taylor ran for 98 yards on 19 carries with two touchdowns for Indianapolis. The Colts fell to 1-8-1 in regular-season openers the past 10 years.

Vikings 39, Packers 22

Justin Jefferson caught eight passes for 92 yards and two touchdowns, and Minnesota closed the game with 29 unanswered points to stun Green Bay in Minneapolis.

Kyler Murray’s Vikings debut ended early as he sustained a concussion, and Carson Wentz came off the bench to complete 12 of 19 passes for 133 yards and three touchdowns. Jordan Mason and Aaron Jones Sr. rushed for one touchdown apiece, and T.J. Hockenson had one touchdown catch.

Jordan Love completed 21 of 42 passes for 387 yards, two touchdowns and one interception for the Packers. Christian Watson caught six passes for 147 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

Raiders 27, Dolphins 13

Quarterback Kirk Cousins threw for three touchdowns, two to running back Ashton Jeanty, and Las Vegas took care of visiting Miami in a meeting of teams not expected to do much this season.

Cousins, who signed with Las Vegas this offseason after spending the last two seasons with the Falcons, completed 21 of 30 passes for 160 yards and two interceptions. He leaned heavily on Jeanty, who rushed for 102 yards on 23 carries and caught six passes for a team-high 45 yards. Las Vegas controlled the ball for 34:53 and finished with 290 total yards.

Malik Willis hit 15 of 27 passes for 220 yards and an interception in his first start for Miami while running for its only touchdown. The Dolphins managed 259 total yards and converted only 2 of 10 third downs. Willis absorbed five sacks.

Cardinals 26, Chargers 14

Jacoby Brissett threw for 277 yards and a touchdown, Jeremiyah Love added a TD in his NFL debut and Arizona pulled off a victory over Los Angeles at Inglewood, Calif.

Trey McBride had nine receptions for 95 yards and a TD as the Cardinals won their season opener after losing their final nine games of the 2025 season. Arizona outscored the Chargers 19-7 after each team scored on its opening drive, thanks in large part to Chad Ryland’s four made field goals.

Justin Herbert was held to 209 passing yards with a touchdown and an interception, while Ladd McConkey caught five passes for 82 yards and a score before departing toward the end of the third quarter with a chest injury for Los Angeles, which was unable to find sustained offense in its first game under new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel.

Eagles 24, Commanders 22

Jalen Hurts completed 14 of 25 passes for 203 yards and three touchdown passes plus 46 rushing yards as Philadelphia won its sixth consecutive opener by holding off visiting Washington.

Jayden Daniels completed 18 of 34 passes in the game for 164 yards with two fourth-quarter touchdowns as the Commanders created a dramatic finish. Daniels went to rookie wide receiver Antonio Williams on a quick out for a 1-yard TD pass with 1:01 remaining for a 24-22 deficit. The Eagles weren’t fooled on the two-point try. Defensive tackle Moro Ojomo was waiting for an inside shovel pass to tight end John Bates, stopping him at the line of scrimmage.

Giants 28, Cowboys 20

Jaxson Dart passed for 230 yards and three touchdowns and New York excelled in John Harbaugh’s debut as coach, beating Dallas in the season opener for both teams at East Rutherford, N.J.

NFL INJURY ROUNDUP: KYLER MURRAY’S VIKINGS DEBUT CUT SHORT

Kyler Murray saw his Minnesota Vikings debut come to an early end when he sustained a concussion on a scramble in the first quarter of Sunday’s game against the visiting Green Bay Packers.

The former Arizona Cardinals quarterback took a hard hit to the side of his head and had his helmet knocked off as he slid short of the first-down marker with 6:10 to go in the opening quarter. He stayed on the turf while medical staff attended to him. Eventually, Murray got to his feet and walked to the locker room without assistance.

Packers safety Javon Bullard was penalized 15 yards for unnecessary roughness on the play.

The team announced in the second quarter that Murray had been ruled out for the remainder of the game. Coach Kevin O’Connell had no further information after the game, saying Murray would be evaluated day by day in the coming week.

Carson Wentz replaced Murray at quarterback and tossed three touchdown passes to help Minnesota score 29 unanswered points and stun Green Bay 39-22. The Vikings made headlines earlier this month when they named the veteran Wentz as their No. 2 quarterback ahead of former first-round pick JJ McCarthy.

–Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers set a career high with 150 receiving yards in the first half at Indianapolis but went to the bench after aggravating a hamstring injury with six minutes left in the second quarter.

Baltimore ruled Flowers out for the game in the fourth quarter. Rookie receiver Ja’Kobi Lane also exited the game with a wrist injury. The Ravens went on to roll past the Colts 41-23.

Ravens head coach Jesse Minter didn’t have a postgame update on either receiver’s condition. Flowers had missed two weeks this summer with an injury to the same left hamstring.

NFL Network reported later Sunday that Lane has a fractured wrist and is expected to miss several weeks. Lane will undergo tests to determine the severity of the injury, per the report.

Ravens cornerback T.J. Tampa also left the game in the first quarter with a knee injury.

–The New York Jets lost rookie wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. and veteran safety Minkah Fitzpatrick to injuries during their season-opening 23-10 win at the Tennessee Titans.

Cooper, selected in the first round (30th overall) in April’s draft out of Indiana, caught his lone target for a 30-yard gain to set up a touchdown on the Jets’ opening drive. But he came out of the game on the next play with an ankle injury. Reports said X-rays were negative, but the Jets fear Cooper sustained a high ankle sprain.

Like Cooper, Fitzpatrick (strained left groin) did not return after being hurt in the first quarter.

Fitzpatrick is a five-time Pro Bowler and three-time first-team All-Pro. This was his Jets debut after eight seasons split between the Miami Dolphins and Pittsburgh Steelers.

–The Atlanta Falcons lost stalwart right guard Chris Lindstrom to a concussion and defensive lineman Da’Shawn Hand to a knee injury during their Week 1 20-13 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Lindstrom has been named a Pro Bowler in each of the past four seasons. He began his eighth NFL season — entirely with Atlanta — on Sunday and played his 106th game, all of them starts.

Hand joined the Falcons this offseason after spending 2025 with the Los Angeles Chargers. It’s his ninth NFL season.

–The Washington Commanders saw tight end Chig Okonkwo (hamstring), linebacker Frankie Luvu (groin) and safety Tyler Owens (ankle) leave the game during their 24-22 loss at the Philadelphia Eagles.

Okonkwo had two catches for 16 yards before departing. Luvu made four tackles, including one sack, while Owens had two tackles.

–The Los Angeles Chargers lost wide receivers Ladd McConkey (chest) and KeAndre Lambert-Smith (hamstring) and cornerback Elijah Molden (hamstring) during their 26-14 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.

McConkey hauled in five catches for 82 yards and a touchdown as the Chargers’ leading receiver before he took a big hit on a catch over the middle in the third quarter. He paced the Chargers last season with 789 yards and six TDs on 66 receptions. Molden made five tackles for Los Angeles.

–Cleveland Browns running back Dylan Sampson sustained a knee injury during the first half of their blowout 34-10 loss at the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Sampson, beginning his second NFL season, returned two kicks for 64 yards but did not have a carry before his injury.

–Dallas Cowboys linebacker DeMarvion Overshown (hamstring) and safety Malik Hooker (forearm) exited before the end of the 28-20 loss to the host New York Giants on Sunday night. Overshown, who was hurt in the fourth quarter and listed as questionable to return, finished with seven combined tackles and Hooker had one.

Overshown has a history of injuries, beginning in 2023 when the third-round pick missed the entire season after tearing the ACL in his left knee at training camp. He started 12 of his 13 games in 2024 before he tore the ACL, MCL and PCL in his right knee. Overshown recorded 90 tackles with five sacks, eight tackles for loss, five quarterback hits and one interception that he returned for a touchdown.

He missed the start of last season and was limited to six games (five starts) before a concussion sidelined him for the final two contests.

TEXAS RISES TO NO. 1 IN AP POLL, OHIO STATE AND OREGON TUMBLE AND MICHIGAN RETURNS TO THE TOP 25

The unprecedented comeback by Texas to knock off Ohio State moved the Longhorns to No. 1 in The Associated Press Top 25 college football poll Sunday and pushed the Buckeyes out of the top five for the first time in two seasons.

Oregon, meanwhile, plummeted 15 spots to No. 21, its lowest ranking in four years, after its 39-31 road loss to an Oklahoma State team that had lost 21 straight against Football Bowl Subdivision opponents.

Michigan, which fell out of the Top 25 after needing an extra second and second-chance Hail Mary try to beat Western Michigan a week ago, returned to the poll at No. 19 following its 17-10 win over No. 11 Oklahoma. The Sooners dropped 13 spots to No. 24.

Texas’ comeback from 20 points down in the fourth quarter to win 24-23 was the largest fourth-quarter rally ever for a win against an AP No. 1 team, according to Sportradar, and avenged a season-opening loss to the Buckeyes a year ago that knocked the Longhorns out of the No. 1 spot.

Texas received 56 first-place votes from the voting panel of writers and broadcasters and holds down the No. 1 spot in the regular season for the first time since Oct. 13, 2024.

No. 2 Georgia and No. 3 Notre Dame held their places, Indiana moved up one spot to No. 4 and Miami was bumped up two to No. 5. Ohio State, LSU, Mississippi, Texas A&M and Alabama rounded out the top 10.

Five teams besides Texas received at least one first-place vote. Miami got four, Georgia and Indiana three apiece and Notre Dame and LSU one each.

Ohio State had been No. 1 in 17 of the previous 20 polls since winning the 2024 national championship. The Buckeyes held the top spot in every regular-season poll last year, slipping to No. 3 after losing to Indiana in the Big Ten championship game and ending at No. 5.

They were back to No. 1 in the preseason poll and stayed there until the loss at Texas dropped them to lowest ranking since they were No. 6 entering the 2024 College Football Playoff. Ohio State is 1-3 in its last four games, though each loss came to a top 10 team.

Oregon’s fall is the biggest surprise of the season to date. The Ducks came in with a cast of returning stars and a transfer class that raised the program’s hopes of winning its first national championship. But they struggled to beat Boise State at home in the opener and then allowed 554 yards and generated just 281 in their first loss to an unranked opponent since 2021.

The Southeastern Conference has nine ranked teams, including the top two and six of the top 10, and the Big Ten has seven. The Big 12 and Atlantic Coast conferences have four each.

In and out

Michigan rebounded from its controversial win over Western Michigan to beat Oklahoma as a 4.5-point home underdog and returned at No. 19.

A second straight uninspired performance sent Washington out of the rankings. A week after the Huskies beat Washington State 24-10, they won 16-14 over Utah State as a 26.5-point home favorite. Washington became the first 2-0 team to win and drop out of the rankings since 2014.

Poll points

— Texas hasn’t been ranked No. 1 so early in a regular season since 1965.

— Ohio State’s drop from No. 1 to No. 6 was the biggest since Texas fell to No. 7 after losing to the Buckeyes last year.

— Oklahoma’s drop was its biggest in a non-pandemic year since it went from No. 5 to out of the rankings (then the Top 20) after losing its 1968 opener 45-21 to Notre Dame.

— The SEC’s six top-10 teams ties the record it set and matched in two straight September polls in 2024. The SEC also had six top-10 teams in the 2020 pandemic season but the Big Ten was not playing at the time of those polls.

Conference call

SEC (9 ranked teams): No. 1 Texas, No. 2 Georgia, No. 7 LSU, No. 8 Mississippi, No. 9 Texas A&M, No. 10 Alabama, No. 15 Tennessee, No. 20 Missouri, No. 24 Oklahoma.

Big Ten (7): No. 4 Indiana, No. 6 Ohio State, No. 12 USC, No. 14 Penn State, No. 18 Iowa, No. 19 Michigan, No. 21 Oregon.

ACC (4): No. 5 Miami, No. 16 SMU, No. 23 Louisville, No. 25 Virginia.

Big 12 (4): No. 11 BYU, No. 13 Texas Tech, No. 17 Utah, No. 22 Houston.

Independent (1): No. 3 Notre Dame.

Ranked vs. ranked

No. 7 LSU at No. 8 Mississippi: It’s the first top-10 matchup of these teams since 1962 and, in a delicious scheduling quirk, LSU is playing in Oxford a second straight year. No doubt, Rebels fans will emerge from tailgating in The Grove juiced up and ready to give Lane Kiffin a not-so-warm welcome in his return after his somewhat awkward departure last December.

No. 22 Houston at No. 13 Texas Tech: The teams have a common opponent, Oregon State. Houston beat the Beavers at home and Tech came from behind to win in Corvallis. Red Raiders have won 12 of the last 13 meetings and haven’t lost to the Cougars at home since 1990.

No. 16 SMU at No. 23 Louisville: Both are coming off easy wins over FCS opponents. Kevin Jennings had a hand in four touchdowns in a 32-point win over an injury-plagued Cardinals team last year.

MLB ROUNDUP: YANKEES SHUT OUT METS, MOVE TO BRINK OF PLAYOFF BERTH

Cam Schlittler pitched six innings of one-hit ball in taking the major league ERA lead, and the host New York Yankees shut out the New York Mets 2-0 on Sunday in the final game of the Subway Series.

Ben Rice and Austin Wells provided the only runs of the game via solo home runs as the Yankees won for the 18th time in 26 games and lowered their magic number for clinching a postseason spot to one.

Schlittler (14-6) allowed only Brett Baty’s double with two outs in the fifth. The right-hander struck out eight, walked two and moved past Milwaukee’s Jacob Misiorowski (1.952 ERA) for the major league lead by lowering his ERA to 1.949.

Rice slugged his third career leadoff home run and Wells homered in the third off Mets starter Christian Scott (4-5), who allowed two runs on three hits and two walks with seven strikeouts in six innings. Yankees star Aaron Judge went 0-for-3 and is 3-for-17 since being activated from the injured list.

Tigers 8, Rockies 1

Riley Greene homered and drove in three runs and host Detroit thumped Colorado to complete a three-game sweep.

Spencer Torkelson had a solo homer and Kevin McGonigle supplied a two-run triple for the Tigers. John Peck scored a run and drove in another, while Zach McKinstry scored twice. Jackson Jobe (2-2) fanned a season-high eight in 6 1/3 innings for Detroit, which finished off a 5-1 homestand.

Adael Amador homered for the Rockies, who have lost seven straight. Colorado rookie starter Gabriel Hughes (0-8) gave up five runs and five hits in two innings while throwing 70 pitches.

Phillies 9, Braves 4

Alec Bohm’s two-run double in the eighth inning sparked a seven-run rally and helped visiting Philadelphia defeat Atlanta and salvage a contest from their three-game series.

With the score tied 2-2, Bohm drove a two-out liner to center field to score Bryce Harper and Trea Turner. Bryson Stott and J.T. Realmuto followed with run-scoring singles that stretched the Phillies’ lead to 6-2. Kyle Schwarber added a two-run single and Turner singled home a run. Realmuto and Stott each had three of the team’s 16 hits and were among six players with multiple hits.

Matt Olson went 3-for-5 with a home run and three RBIs for the Braves, whose lead over the Phillies in the National League East stands at five games.

Marlins 6, Dodgers 4

Pinch hitter Agustin Ramirez hit a two-run, walk-off homer in the ninth to give Miami a victory over visiting Los Angeles.

The Marlins entered the ninth behind 4-2 with ex-Marlins pitcher Tanner Scott on the mound trying to close it out. But Xavier Edwards’ infield single, Jakob Marsee’s bunt hit and Javier Sanoja’s softly hit two-run double down the left field line tied the score 4-4 with no outs.

Los Angeles brought in Brock Stewart against Ramirez, who got a 94 mph fastball down the middle and belted it 407 feet to left-center. The loss ruined a great performance by 21-year-old Dodgers rookie Josue De Paula, who slugged a three-run homer for his first major league hit and doubled off the wall.

Blue Jays 8, Orioles 1

Toronto hit back-to-back-to-back home runs in the fifth inning and went on to defeat visiting Baltimore in a battle of teams fighting for a playoff spot in the American League.

George Springer, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Kazuma Okamoto homered in succession against Trevor Rogers (10-10) in the rubber match of a three-game series. The Blue Jays hold a three-game lead over the Orioles and lead the season series 6-4.

Guerrero was 4-for-5 with a double and two singles to go with his home run, which was only his ninth of the season and first at home. Toronto starter Dylan Cease (11-5) gave up a run in five innings.

Guardians 9, Twins 2

Steven Kwan, Jo Adell and Travis Bazzana hit home runs as Cleveland moved closer to the AL Central-leading Chicago White Sox with a win over host Minnesota in Minneapolis.

Kwan was 3-for-4 with a double, a walk, two RBIs and two runs, while Bazzana added a walk, three RBIs and two runs and Adell scored two and drove in two for the Guardians, who are a half-game behind the White Sox.

Tanner Bibee (6-15) got the win by giving up two runs and four hits in 6 2/3 innings while Twins starter Joe Ryan (6-10) allowed four runs on seven hits in four innings.

Nationals 6, Angels 5

Moises Ballesteros and Zach Neto homered and Mike Trout doubled and walked twice for the Angels, who finished 3-6 on their nine-game trip.

Reds 4, Brewers 3

Elly De La Cruz scored the go-ahead run on Tyler Stephenson’s sacrifice fly in the eighth inning, lifting visiting Cincinnati over Milwaukee to salvage the finale of a 1-5 road trip.

The Reds’ Eugenio Suarez launched a three-run homer in the sixth inning, marking his second homer in as many games. Brandon Williamson (4-4) allowed one run on two hits in four innings in relief of Chase Burns.

Joey Ortiz belted a two-run homer in the second inning and Jake Bauers went deep to lead off the seventh for the Brewers, who saw their five-game winning streak come to a halt.

Cardinals 3, White Sox 1

Alec Burleson hit a go-ahead, bases-clearing double in the bottom of the sixth inning and Michael McGreevy pitched six effective innings for host St. Louis in a victory over Chicago.

White Sox rookie right-hander David Sandlin retired his first 16 batters before allowing three unearned runs on Burleson’s double following an error by shortstop Colson Montgomery.

McGreevy (7-9) allowed a run, three hits and three walks with six strikeouts for the Cardinals. Gordon Graceffo struck out three in two scoreless innings, and Georgie Soriano converted his fourth save after escaping a bases-loaded jam.

Rangers 7, Diamondbacks 6

Corey Seager had a 458-foot home run among his three hits, Cal Quantrill pitched six strong innings and Texas held off Arizona in Phoenix to move to within one game of the AL West lead.

Quantrill (9-5) gave up two runs on five hits on 70 pitches, leaving after Geraldo Perdomo opened the seventh with a single.

The Diamondbacks’ Tim Tawa hit an RBI double and Jordan Lawlar’s one-out double off the left field fence made it 7-6 in the ninth off Jacob Latz. But the Rangers closer struck out Tommy Troy and intentionally walked Ketel Marte before he got Gabriel Moreno to pop out for his 29th save.

Rays 14, Astros 4

Jonathan Aranda homered twice with three RBIs, starter Freddy Peralta twirled five no-hit innings and Tampa Bay completed its majors-best 15th series sweep by pounding Houston in St. Petersburg, Fla.

Falling a homer shy of the cycle, the Rays’ Victor Mesa Jr. was 3-for-5 with three runs and two RBIs. Teammate Richie Palacios was 2-for-4 with a three-run homer and scored twice, while Nick Fortes went deep for Tampa Bay, which posted 15 hits and was 4-for-9 with runners in scoring position. Peralta left with the Rays up 11-0.

Isaac Paredes, Nick Allen and Nelson Velazquez homered for the Astros, who had only four hits and are 2-6 in the past eight games. Starter Hayden Wesneski (5-2) surrendered seven runs (three earned) on six hits in three hits.

Pirates 4, Cubs 3

Brandon Lowe drove in two runs with a pinch-hit single in the sixth inning as visiting Pittsburgh beat Chicago to avoid being swept.

Pirates starter Bubba Chandler (8-9) gave up five hits and three runs in 5 1/3 innings. Pittsburgh took the lead for good in its three-run sixth inning. Mason Montgomery picked up his 13th save with a scoreless ninth inning.

Miguel Amaya gave the Cubs a 2-1 lead in the fifth inning with a two-run homer. Chicago starter Matthew Boyd (8-5) gave up seven hits and four runs in 5 1/3 innings. The Cubs fell into a tie with the Phillies for the first National League wild-card spot.

Athletics 8, Mariners 7

Lawrence Butler hit two homers, the latter a two-run shot with no outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, to give the Athletics a walk-off victory over Seattle in West Sacramento, Calif.

The Mariners’ Randy Arozarena also homered twice, including a tie-breaking blast in the eighth inning, and had four RBIs. Seattle closer Andres Munoz (5-6) got the final two outs in the eighth before returning for the ninth. Zack Gelof grounded a leadoff single into left field before Butler’s blast into the bullpen in right-center.

Elvis Alvarado (5-3) got the victory for the A’s, who also won the opener of the three-game series with a walk-off homer. Gelof and Butler hit back-to-back homers with two outs in the first inning off Mariners starter Bryce Miller.

Red Sox 4, Royals 1

Roman Anthony’s two-out RBI single in the seventh inning snapped a 1-1 tie, lifting host Boston past Kansas City in the rain-delayed rubber game of their series.

Red Sox starter Payton Tolle struck out seven and allowed just four hits and one walk over six shutout innings, including an immaculate first (three strikeouts on nine pitches). Garrett Whitlock (7-1) got the win in relief while Aroldis Chapman brushed off two walks of his own to strike out the side for his 34th save.

The Royals were limited to just five hits, though starter Noah Cameron tossed one-run ball across six innings. Reliever Craig Kimbrel (1-5) walked two batters before Anthony’s go-ahead single off reliever Connor Thomas.

Padres 6, Giants 4

Manny Machado homered, Fernando Tatis Jr. accumulated three hits, two runs and two RBIs, and visiting San Diego completed a three-game sweep of San Francisco.

Padres starter Nick Pivetta allowed two runs and five hits during his four-inning stint. Wandy Peralta (3-2), Randy Vasquez and Yuki Matsui on 3 1/3 innings of shutout ball to close out the game. With the win, San Diego extended its lead over Arizona to 2 1/2 games with two weeks remaining in their duel for the third and final wild-card playoff spot in the National League.

Andrew Knizner hit a two-run homer for the Giants, who announced earlier in the day that Rafael Devers will miss the remainder of the season with a core muscle injury. San Francisco ace Logan Webb (8-9) was charged with six runs on eight hits in five innings.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

US WINS FIFTH STRAIGHT WOMEN’S FIBA WORLD CUP TITLE, BEATING FRANCE 97-79

BERLIN (AP) — Breanna Stewart had an American flag draped around her body as she soaked in the moment.

The U.S. captain delivered again and the Americans continued their domination of international play, winning a fifth straight women’s FIBA World Cup title with a 97-79 victory over France on Sunday.

The Americans have won 36 straight World Cup games, dating to the semifinals of the 2006 World Cup, where they lost to Russia.

“We are the standard,” said Stewart, who scored 22 points in the victory and earned MVP honors of the tournament for the second time. “USA Basketball has continued to show up and go for gold and to have done that however many times consecutively is an insane stat. We want to make sure that we continue to build on that standard and everybody else knows it.”

Despite the final score, this game wasn’t easy; the Americans faced their biggest deficit in the tournament since that loss to Russia when they were down 14 points in the first half to France. They calmly rallied behind Stewart and Jackie Young to get within two at halftime, with Caitlin Clark hitting a 3-pointer just before the buzzer.

“I think we felt really good about where we were at,” said Clark, who finished with 12 points. “I think France was 8 for 14 (from 3-point range). We dug ourself a hole, but we climbed out of it, and I felt like we were never rattled by anything.”

The U.S. dominated in the second half, starting the third quarter with a 11-2 run to go up 54-47. Stewart, who has now four World Cup titles to her name, had four points during the game-changing burst.

France was able to get within 55-51, but the Americans used a 16-3 spurt that included two unsportsmanlike fouls against France on the same play. The Americans were up 73-57 heading into the fourth quarter, and France never was able to close the gap.

“I’m really happy with the way that we let the rest of the world know that our goal is always gold,” Stewart said. “Just really proud.”

The U.S. improved to 9-0 in gold-medal games since finishing second in 1983 to the Soviet Union.

This was the second-youngest team the Americans have sent to a World Cup. There were many newcomers on the roster including Clark, Angel Reese and Paige Bueckers, who were playing for the national team for the first time. But it was the veterans who carried the team to the victory.

The Americans had looked more vulnerable in this tournament than at any time during their remarkable run. A three-point win over Italy in pool play was the closest a team has come to the U.S. in group stage in 50 years. The 10-point victory over Spain was the closest semifinal contest during the streak. The Americans had been winning by an average of 26 points over the past four medal-round games.

None of that matter in the end as the Americans finished the same way they had the previous four World Cup tournaments — as champions.

The loss nevertheless gave France its best finish ever in the event. The French were hoping for the top prize after they came close against the U.S. in the 2024 Paris Olympic gold-medal game two years ago. That one-point loss still stung two years later.

Dominique Malonga scored 21 points and Gabby Williams added 20 for France.

“Of course we’re disappointed right now, but I think we’re showing little by little, France is a basketball country,” Williams said. “That was my goal, when I joined this team, was to change the culture. Obviously we have higher expectations, but we’ll get there.”

France got off to a strong start. The U.S. trailed 20-17 after the first quarter and the French scored the first 11 points of the second, capped by Williams’ 3-pointer, to take a 31-17 lead. But the Americans rallied and trailed 45-43 at the half on Clark’s 3 just before the buzzer.

Spain topped host Germany to win the bronze medal.

GOLF NEWS

US SOLHEIM CUP CAPTAIN ANGELA STANFORD INSISTS NO ‘REGRETS’

Captain Angela Stanford said it was too early to say whether she would have done anything differently in the wake of the United States’ 15-13 loss to Team Europe in the 2026 Solheim Cup.

The teams entered Sunday tied 8-8 after the first two days of competition. The Europeans raced out to an early lead in the Sunday singles matches and went on to win seven of the 12 to secure the Cup. The U.S. has not won the event on foreign soil since 2015 in Germany.

Stanford was asked whether she would have approached Sunday any differently in hindsight.

“I haven’t really processed everything so far. But right now I mean, no, that’s not who I am,” Stanford said. “I try not to have regrets. I believed in all 12, so, you know, I probably need to think about that some more.”

Among the question marks entering the event was the status of Angel Yin, who lost 35 pounds this summer while battling a stomach illness. She returned to the LPGA Tour for the FM Championship late last month but missed the cut.

Yin insisted she was fit enough to compete, but finished the Solheim Cup at Bernardus Golf in the Netherlands with an 0-1-1 record. That included a 4&3 loss on Sunday against Sweden’s Linn Grant, when they were the third singles match out on the course.

The U.S. brought Lilia Vu to the Netherlands as an alternate, but the former world No. 1 had missed eight consecutive cuts.

“I think we did the best we could,” Stanford said. “We were prepared if Angel couldn’t play. We wanted to see what we had with Angel, and she went out and got a half a point with Yealimi (Noh). Yealimi was a stud this week. And I needed to get Andrea (Lee) with Yealimi. So I wouldn’t have done anything different there.”

By the time Rose Zhang defeated France’s Celine Boutier in the final match Sunday, the Americans’ fate had already been sealed with England’s Lottie Woad and Spain’s Carlota Ciganda winning their matches.

“You hear people say over and over and over how difficult it is, and it really is,” Stanford said while Zhang’s match was still going. “I think that we did a lot of things right leading up to it, and I know we did.

“They fought hard, and we seemed to always be on the same page. Look, the Europeans played great today, and that’s the way it goes. So their backs were against the wall, they had nothing to lose, and that’s exactly what they did. They came out and played well, so good for them.”

In addition to world No. 1 Nelly Korda, the only other player on Stanford’s team ranked in the top 20 entering the Solheim Cup was No. 17 Lauren Coughlin. Still, the Americans had the edge on paper with an average world ranking of 39 compared to Europe’s 54.

Stanford, 48, said she took the captain’s role in part to help women’s golf grow “just a little bit more.” While she enjoyed the experience, the seven-time LPGA Tour winner didn’t sound as though she’s ready to sign up for a repeat tour of Solheim Cup captain’s duty.

“We have a pretty good pipeline,” Stanford said. “There are a lot of captains in line on the American side, a lot of good ones coming.

“So, yeah, I think we have a lot lined up ready to go.”

ZACH JOHNSON WINS SANFORD INTERNATIONAL FOR 5TH TITLE OF SEASON

Zach Johnson birdied the final two holes to earn the Sanford International title by one shot over Ben Crane on Sunday afternoon in Sioux Falls, S.D.

Johnson posted a 4-under-par 66 in the final round to finish 11-under 199 at Minnehaha Country Club and collect the fifth victory of his rookie year on the PGA Tour Champions. He secured the $330,000 first-prize check and tied Stewart Cink for the most wins this season.

Johnson, 50, declared the PGA Tour Champions his favorite tour he has ever played on.

“A long litany of reasons: It’s still competition, it’s less stress on my body, I’m playing with all my buddies again, I don’t have to play every week, there’s off weeks and I feel like I’ve graduated,” Johnson said. “I feel like I’ve made it — greener pastures.”

Johnson had to finish strong because Crane birdied Nos. 15 and 16 to take a one-shot lead. But while Johnson picked up a birdie at the par-3 17th, Crane suffered his third bogey of the day to give Johnson a one-shot edge. Both birdied No. 18 to close out their 66s.

“I knew going into 15 where I stood,” Johnson said. “Ben made a heck of an up-and-down on 15, amazing up-and-down on 16, and took (the lead) and earned it. And so, I had to go and at least give myself a chance. I can’t control what he’s going to do, but at least give myself an opportunity.”

Jay Jurecic — the 56-year-old former teacher who qualified for the tournament on Monday and shared the lead with Johnson entering the final round — managed a 71 on Sunday to share eighth place at 6 under. His previous best on the Champions Tour was a tie for 54th.

Mario Tiziani and Boo Weekley made big runs early in the day to challenge the leaders.

NASCAR NEWS

KYLE LARSON SURVIVES WRECK-FILLED ENJOY ILLINOIS 300, ENDS 51-RACE SKID

Kyle Larson was optimistic when he arrived near St. Louis for Sunday’s Cup Series race.

Turned out the two-time series champion was right to feel that way.

Larson raced away from Alex Bowman and Joey Logano in the second NASCAR overtime of the second playoff race, breaking a 51-race winless streak by taking the caution-filled Enjoy Illinois 300 on Sunday at World Wide Technology Raceway in Madison, Ill.

After Chase drivers Christopher Bell, Tyler Reddick, Bubba Wallace, Daniel Suarez, Ty Gibbs and Chris Buescher brought out three caution flags in the final 20 laps of regulation, Larson’s No. 5 Chevrolet started beside Hendrick Motorsports teammate Bowman, kept the point and beat Bowman’s No. 48 by 0.333 seconds.

“I had a good feeling, but you just never know,” said Larson, who led 80 laps. “I felt like this place is so weird. Obviously, with the brake rotor failures. … Just proud of my team for being so patient through all the tough times and the winless streak.

“And thanks for the fans, my fans, for also being patient with us.”

It was Larson’s first win since May of last season at Kansas and Chevy’s first since Shane van Gisbergen won at Sonoma on June 28.

Logano led a race-high 96 laps and finished third, while William Byron and Ross Chastain rounded out the top five in the race that featured a track-record 18 cautions.

In a day when nearly every Chase driver other than Larson or Logano had some issue, points leader Denny Hamlin rallied from a slow pit stop to finish ninth.

He holds the Chase standings lead by nine points over Larson and 18 over Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Bell.

Reddick’s No. 45 Toyota banged the wall during the first caution. After Ricky Stenhouse Jr. looped his No. 47 for the second yellow, Suarez was involved in a multiple-car fracas that also included van Gisbergen, Michael McDowell and Noah Gragson.

On Lap 28, van Gisbergen lost his No. 97 on his own and forced the fourth caution with Logano still out front as drivers failed to get into any kind of longer run on the slick track.

The segment ended with Logano leading Bell to the checkers. Larson, Ryan Blaney and Chase Elliott followed behind.

In the longest green-flag run thus far, Chastain led on the restart on Lap 70, but Larson passed the No. 1 on Lap 81.

The Hendrick Motorsports driver showed strength and pulled away from Chastain by nearly three seconds with Logano in third.

However, with the possibility that the No. 5 car not being able to get to the end of the 95-lap second stage, Larson’s crew chief Cliff Daniels urged his driver to try to save fuel by skipping third gear.

Zane Smith wrecked his Ford on Lap 131 for the eighth yellow, setting up a full field of pit stops.

Chase racers Wallace, Chase Briscoe, Byron, Ryan Preece and Elliott were all involved in an incident on the Lap 141 restart.

Blaney had brake failure under the flagstand on Lap 155 and crashed his No. 12 Ford into the frontstretch wall for the 10th caution.

With 27 laps to go, Elliott lost his brakes and his No. 9 Chevy crashed into Briscoe’s No. 19 Toyota in Turn 1.

DERRICK HENRY’S RUSHES FOR 3 TDS AND LAMAR JACKSON LIGHTS UP THE COLTS IN THE RAVENS’ 41-23 WIN

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Derrick Henry still looks ageless, and Lamar Jackson put on an MVP-like show again.

Together, the Baltimore Ravens’ offensive stars delivered a knockout punch.

The 32-year-old Henry rushed for 144 yards and three touchdowns as he moved into third place on the NFL’s career list, and Jackson rebounded from a frustrating 2025 season by throwing for 324 yards, with touchdowns passing and rushing, as Baltimore opened the season with a 41-23 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday in coach Jesse Minter’s debut.

“Oh, King Henry, I love you,” Jackson said as he jumped off the podium and hugged his teammate following his postgame news conference.

That sentiment was unanimous inside the Ravens’ locker room.

Henry opened his 12th season with yet another big day against Indy, a team he tormented during his time with the Tennessee Titans. He had 24 carries and finished with his 56th 100-yard game and his eighth game with three or more TD runs. Henry also passed two Hall of Famers, Marcus Allen and former Indy star Marvin Harrison, on the career touchdown list.

His 125 rushing TDs are two more than Allen, and Henry’s 130 total TDs rank ninth, one ahead of Harrison.

Jackson, meanwhile, showed his subpar 2025 season could be an anomaly.

He was 17 of 25 passing, had seven carries for 40 yards and showed his elusiveness by escaping a sack near midfield and scrambling for a tone-setting first down on third-and-16 in the first quarter. Baltimore scored its second touchdown three plays later.

“We were all on point, from the play-calling to the execution,” Jackson said. “I’ve been dialed in since OTA (offseason team activities). We all have to stay locked in like this. I’ve got a ton of confidence in these guys that they can do that.”

The Ravens outgained the Colts 506 yards to 251 and improved to 13-6 in openers since 2008 while topping the 20-point mark in a league-best 10th consecutive Week 1.

Jackson’s 10th 300-yard game started with a 229-yard first half as he connected with Zay Flowers five times for 150 yards and a 54-yard catch-and-run. Flowers did not play in the second half because of a hamstring injury.

Indy lost its 11th opener in 13 years. Daniel Jones was 19 of 31 for 166 yards with a TD and an interception in his first game since tearing his right Achilles tendon in December. Jonathan Taylor ran 19 times for 98 yards and two touchdowns but also lost a fumble that led to a Baltimore score.

“Obviously, we’ve got to be better,” coach Shane Steichen said after hearing boos from the Lucas Oil Stadium crowd. “We’ve got to coach better. We’ve got to play better. They had a ton of yards. We’ve got to be better there, but it’s not just about one group. We weren’t good enough.”

The Ravens started fast. After Taylor opened the game with a 1-yard TD run, Baltimore answered with Jackson’s 5-yard scoring run, Henry’s 4-yard TD run, Flowers’ TD reception and Henry’s 32-yard run to make it 28-6.

Indy could never catch up. Taylor answered with a 3-yard TD run late in the first half. The Ravens closed out the half with Tyler Loop’s 57-yard field goal to make it 31-13 — the fifth time in franchise history they scored at least 31 points in the first half.

Spencer Shrader made a 58-yard field goal in the third quarter to get Indy within 31-16. But Henry’s 3-yard scoring run with 12:46 left sealed it.

Another milestone

Defensive tackle Calais Campbell had a big day in his first game back with Baltimore. The 40-year-old joined Jim Marshall and Hall of Famer Bruce Smith as the only defensive linemen in league history to make 260 career starts. Marshall finished with 272, and Smith had 267.

Campbell’s 19-year NFL journey began in Arizona and has taken him to Jacksonville, Baltimore from 2020-22, Miami, back to Arizona in 2025 and now back to the Ravens.

Injuries

Ravens: Flowers was ruled out during the third quarter, and it wasn’t the only big hit to the receiving corps. Ja’Kobi Lane injured a wrist and did not return. CB Marlon Humphrey left briefly in the fourth quarter with what appeared to be a right leg injury. CB T.J. Tampa Jr. did not return after hurting his knee in the first quarter.

Colts: Indy appeared to avoid any significant injuries.

Up next

Ravens: Host New Orleans next Sunday.

Colts: At Kansas City next Sunday.

After Derek Berg was hit by a pitch, Nick Yorke singled to right field to score Jebb and Berg to tie the game at 4-4.

In the top of the third inning, Waters came up and rocketed a 411-foot home run to right field to put Omaha back in front, 5-4. Waters ended the day 2-for-4 with two runs and two RBI.

On the first pitch of the bottom of the fifth inning, Tyler Callihan homered to right field to tie the game, 5-5, homering in back-to-back contests for the first time this season.

Indy starter Thomas Harrington went 2.0 innings and gave up five runs with two strikeouts. CD Pelham, Brandon Neeck, Noah Murdock, Michael Darrell-Hicks and Beau Burrows (W, 6-4) did not allow a run in their 7.0 innings of relief and only gave up three hits to Omaha.

BUTLER WOMEN’S SOCCER

INDIANAPOLIS – The Butler women’s soccer team scored one first-half goal and added two more after the break in a 3-0 shutout of Central Michigan on Sunday afternoon. The visiting Chippewas (2-4-1) were limited to just six shots with only two on frame. The Bulldogs (4-2-1) are currently on a three-game winning streak and have scored nine goals in those three contests.

Key Moments

18′ | Central Michigan’s Ella Dykstra plays Ella Betzold open in the midfield, and Betzold plays back to Dykstra in the box. She unleashes a left-footed shot from 12 yards out, but it sails wide.

24′ | Chloe Brecht slips past her defender on the right side and whips a cross toward the back post. Sarah Monnin is right there to receive it, but her header bounces just wide.

43′ | Brecht wins a loose clearance and springs a three-on-two chance for Butler down the right side. She finds Kylie Secoda in the middle of the area, whose shot is blocked — but it caroms to Alyssa Carlson at the far post. After being denied once by the keeper, Carlson finishes the second try from four yards out. The Dawgs open the scoring just before the break.

     — HALFTIME —

52′ | Riley Gumm sends Monnin down the pitch on the left side with a give-and-go. Monnin beats her defender one-on-one and puts it home from the top of the area with her left foot. Butler stretches the lead to 2-0.

59′ | Central Michigan’s clearance falls right to Lola Pepper at the edge of the box. Pepper only needs two touches and curls a knuckling shot into the top corner with her right foot.

Junior Keaton Parmley registered his third career top-10 finish, closing the event at 2-under 214 (72-70-72) with three straight rounds of par or better. 

Host UNCG ran away with the team title at 838 and Radford was second at 857. Radford’s David Goode collected medalist honors at 13-under 203 for the tournament.

IU INDY WOMEN’S SOCCER

TOLEDO, Ohio – The IU Indianapolis women’s soccer team closed its non-conference slate with a 2-2 road draw at Toledo on Sunday (Sept. 13) behind first career goals from Madeline Chappa and Addison Stover. The Jaguars took a 2-0 lead into the lockerroom but yielded a pair of second half scores in the road tie. 

The Jaguars went in front in the 34th minute when a penalty kick was awarded after a lengthy VAR review. Chappa calmly took the penalty kick, slotting a shot past UT goalkeeper Paige Dornheggen for her first-ever score. Less than two minutes later, Stover blasted a shot past Dornheggen off a setup from Maci Sammons to take a two-goal advantage. 

“It felt amazing to finally get one in the back of the net,” Stover said. “My teammates were able to create some space for me to get a good strike on the ball.”

Toledo (4-2-1) continued to build scoring chances but were unable to decipher the IU Indy defense in the opening stanza. 

The Rockets finally broke through in the 62nd minute when Ella Zoerhoff scored off an assist from Keira Billis following a corner kick. The play was reviewed briefly for a potential offsides call but was ultimately upheld. Later, Zoerhoff tied the game with a nifty turn and blast from the corner of the 18-yard box for her eighth score of the season. 

IU Indy (2-4-2) relied heavily on the attacking duo of Caroline Kelley and Keilah Muldrow throughout the game with Kelley providing the target, trying to free the speedy Muldrow in space. Kelley had a team-high four shot attempts, putting three on target, while Muldrow had three attempts. 

Both Chappa and Stover had two shots apiece. 

In goal, Gwen Eiler made four saves in earning the result while Dornheggen also made four saves. 

Toledo finishes with advantages in both shots (18-14) and corner kicks (8-2) while each side put seven shots on goal. The Rockets were previously unblemished in four meetings with Horizon League schools, having defeated Cleveland State and Robert Morris during the preseason and Oakland and Detroit Mercy in the regular season, shutting out all four opponents. 

“We feel really good about where we are. The tough non-conference schedule is really going to help us as we move into league play,” Stover said. “We are just coming into our own! We are going to be a fun team to watch down the stretch.”

The Jaguars will open Horizon League play against league favorite Milwaukee on Saturday (Sept. 19) at 1:00 p.m. at Carroll Stadium.

MUNCIE, Ind. – The Ball State field hockey team (2-3) suffered a 7-1 setback against Indiana University (4-2) Sunday afternoon at the Briner Sports Complex.

Despite the final score, the Cardinals opened the match with a resilient defensive stand. Ball State withstood a heavy initial attack from the Hoosiers in the first 15 minutes, holding Indiana scoreless despite facing 10 shots and five penalty corners in the opening frame. That defensive grit sparked the offense late in the first quarter, carrying momentum into the start of the second.

Ball State drew first blood early in the second period following a well-executed penalty corner. Jade Vandervoorde inserted the ball to Lauren Lewis, who perfectly set up GiGi Ranoldo to find the back of the net and give the Cardinals a 1-0 lead.

The Hoosiers answered shortly after to knot the game at 1-1, adding two more goals before the intermission to carry a 3-1 advantage into halftime.

SOUTHERN INDIANA WOMEN’S SOCCER

VALPARAISO, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Soccer came up short in its road match at Valparaiso University on Sunday afternoon, 2-0, after the Beacons scored twice in the second half.

USI Women’s Soccer (1-6-2), amid a four-game road stretch, was coming off a road win at Cleveland State University on Thursday. USI and Valparaiso (4-4-1) battled to nearly an even match statistically on Sunday, with USI recording 12 shots and six on goal compared to 11 shots and five on goal for Valparaiso. However, a long-range goal and a corner-kick goal by the Beacons in the second half proved to be the difference on the scoreboard.

Individually, senior forward Eva Boer paced the Screaming Eagles with four shots and two on goal. Graduate senior Payton Seymour tallied three shots with one on goal, and sophomore defender Tierney Mullady added a pair of shots and one on goal in a full 90 minutes played. In goal, sophomore goalkeeper Merrick Schwalbach made three saves, including one on a penalty kick.

Following a couple of early first-half shots by Valparaiso, USI created a pair of its own chances in the first dozen minutes. Seymour placed a shot on goal, while freshman Liza Anderson had a shot that went across the goal frame and missed just outside the post. Later in the first half, Schwalbach, who had two saves earlier in the half, made a diving save on a penalty kick in the 38th minute to keep the match tied 0-0. The contest remained scoreless going into halftime.

The Screaming Eagles applied a couple of pressure looks early in the second half. However, Valparaiso jumped onto the scoreboard first in the 60th minute when Martha Goddard curled a shot from nearly 25 yards out into the top-right corner of the goal to give the Beacons a 1-0 advantage. Valpo later doubled its lead to 2-0 in the 76th minute on a header off a corner kick. USI had a few late shots, including two free kicks by Mullady, but the Valpo goalkeeper covered them to seal the game.

The Screaming Eagles conclude the four-match road swing on Thursday, September 17, with a trip to DePaul University. Thursday’s kickoff is scheduled for 4 p.m. and will air on Marquee Sports Network.

VALPO WOMEN’S SOCCER

It was a happy day all around for the Valpo soccer program at Brown Field Sunday afternoon, as the Beacons were able to celebrate the seven members of their senior class prior to the game as part of Senior Day and then came away 2-0 victors over Southern Indiana in their nonconference finale.

How It Happened

The best chance of the first half came in the 38th minute, when the Screaming Eagles got called for a foul in the box to give Valpo a penalty. But the Beacons’ effort was stymied by USI goalkeeper Merrick Schwalbach, who sprawled to her left to keep it out.

It took nearly an hour, but the Beacons eventually found the back of the net with a sterling shot. A throw-in on the left side went to Kiara Desiderio (St. John, Ind./Hanover Central), who brought it down and then slid it to Martha Goddard (London, England/Alleyns School). Goddard took one touch to settle and then unleashed a right-footed screamer from 24 yards out which powered into the upper-right corner to give Valpo the lead.

Desiderio was on the other end of the Beacons’ insurance tally in the 76th minute. Brylie Walos (Hartland, Wis./Arrowhead) took a corner from the right, directly into the center of the box. Desiderio was right there to leap at the top of the six and head it home, just under the crossbar.

Inside the Match

Prior to the match, Valpo honored its senior class, recognizing seven team members in their final season with the Beacons: Alex Arnold (Joliet, Ill./Plainfield South [Western Michigan]), Daisy Boardman (Warrington, England/Bridgwater), Tatum Coleman (Fishers, Ind./Hamilton Southeastern), Julianna De Simone (Elmhurst, Ill./York Community), Eve Miller (Slippery Rock, Pa./Slippery Rock Area), Emma Paraskos (Gurnee, Ill./Warren Township) and Carly Stewart (Granite Bay, Calif./Granite Bay).

Arnold, Boardman, De Simone, Miller and Paraskos were all part of the Beacons’ starting XI on Sunday — De Simone making the first start of her collegiate career.

While they are sidelined due to injury, Coleman and Stewart took part in a ceremonial kickoff prior to the match’s official kickoff.

The prolific pair of sophomores continued their production on Sunday. Goddard’s goal was her team-best sixth of the season, which have come on just 19 shot attempts. She scored in back-to-back matches for the first time in her collegiate career, earning the match-winning goal in both fixtures.

Desiderio was involved in multiple goals for the second straight match and for the third time this year, boosting her season totals to five goals and two assists.

After entering the week with no assists to her credit, Walos registered an assist for the second straight match.

Goalkeeper Salange Bell (Montclair, N.J./Montclair Kimberly Academy [Montclair State]) made six saves to earn her second clean sheet of the season.

A pretty even match statistically, USI held a 12-11 edge in shots and a 6-5 advantage in shots on goal, while Valpo led 6-5 in corner kick count.

Sunday’s win means the Beacons end nonconference play with a 4-4-1 record — the fifth time in the last seven seasons they have finished .500 or better in the nonconference schedule.

Thoughts From Coach Marovich

“Today was Senior Day, and I want to acknowledge the dedication and commitment this senior class has made to our program. Carly Stewart, Tatum Colman, Alex Arnold, Eve Miller, Daisy Boardman, Emma Paraskos, and Julianna De Simone have made a tremendous impact on their teammates and coaches, and it meant a lot to send them out with a performance like this.”

“We stuck with our plan on a windy day and didn’t get rattled when chances didn’t fall early. At halftime the message was to keep pressing in the wide channels and take advantage of counterattack situations, knowing we’d be going slightly against the wind. Sunday games coming off a Thursday night are a grind, and I loved how much this group wanted to attack and find a goal.”

“Both finishes were fantastic: Martha curled one into the back post driving across the top of the 18, and Kiara powered a header past the keeper on a corner that senior Julianna De Simone helped create with her movement. Martha and Kiara have both scored in each of the last two matches, and they hurt you in different ways. Their teammates keep finding them in dangerous spaces, and that’s opened things up for others in the attack.”

“It was great to see Salange earn her second shutout, and her ability to hit longer service on a windy day was a real advantage. Payton Rofe also put in an important first half on the back line. Every ball was contested today, and this group answered the call. This was the ideal final preparation heading into Missouri Valley play next weekend.”

Next Up

Valpo (4-4-1) opens MVC play on Brown Field next Sunday afternoon at 1 p.m. versus Drake.

Brooklyn breaks a scoreless tie with two runs in the 7th, after Honus Wagner flubs a double play grounder hit by Casey Stengel. Wagner, who ostensibly had told the rookie to have Stengel hit the ball to short, reportedly says, “Those damn big feet of mine have always been in my way.” Pittsburgh scores two in the 8th to tie but pitcher Larry Cheney hits a run-scoring double in the bottom of the 9th to win it for Brooklyn.

1918 – Only four days after winning the World Series, the “Boston Red Sox” play the Hilldale Club, one of the top colored ball clubs in the country, in an exhibition game in Darby, PA. While the Red Sox include only three actual members of the World Championship club – Joe Bush, Amos Strunk and Wally Schang – the balance is made up of current and recent major leaguers, so it is actually quite a good team. Hilldale wins the game by forfeit when the Red Sox refuse to play the bottom of the 9th while holding a 4 – 3 lead. This marks the only time in Red Sox history that they will play a colored opponent, something that was relatively common for most other major league franchises.

1920 – The Yankees increase their American League lead to one and a half games by topping the Tigers 13 – 3. Cleveland and the White Sox are both shut out, the A’s beating the Indians, 8 – 0, and Washington whitewashing the Sox ,7 – 0. The Sox are now two and a half games back.

Following two singles in the 4th, George Sisler’s line drive is turned into a triple play. Jack Tobin singles in the 7th, but Johnson picks him off.

1935:

The Yankees split with the American League-leading Tigers, winning 2 – 1 and losing 5 – 1.

Starter Charlie Root is the Chicago winner.

The Giants top the faltering Cards, 5 – 4, in 11 innings, to move into third place, just three and a half games in back of the Cubs. The Cards drop to second place with the loss. Paul Dean was to start today’s game but he suffered what is called a severe heart attack while attending the Canzoneri-Ghnouly bout. The loss goes to Phil Collins, who comes on in the 11th.

The Senators win their fifth straight, beating the Indians, 5 – 1. Bobo Newsom scatters ten hits – five by Earl Averill, including two doubles and a triple – to go the route. Joe Vosmik, in the race for the batting championship at .345, breaks out of his recent slump going 1 for 4.

1942:

In the Negro League World Series, Leon Day, pitching for the Homestead Grays, fans 12 in beating Satchel Paige and the Kansas City Monarchs, 4 – 1, in Game 4.

Virgil Trucks allows two hits over the last six innings for the win.

1961:

Ken Boyer climaxes a 7 for 11 day by cycling in the nitecap, completing it by belting his 22nd home run of the year in the 11th inning. The Cards have won all 11 games with the Cubs at Busch Stadium this year.

The Royals lose a doubleheader to the Angels, 8 – 6 in the opener and 6 – 5 in the nightcap. In the second game, Kansas City OF Mark Quinn makes a memorable major league debut. After making an out in his first trip to the plate, Quinn doubles in his next at bat, then hits homers his last two times up. He becomes just the third player in history to hit two home runs in his first big league game. Bob Nieman (on this day in 1951) and Bert Campaneris (in 1964) are the only others to accomplish the feat before him.

The Expos defeat the Dodgers, 3 – 0, behind Javier Vazquez’ one-hitter. Vazquez allows just a leadoff single to Mark Grudzielanek in the 4th inning, and a walk to Gary Sheffield in the same frame, while fanning ten.

P Derek Lowe wins his 20th game as the Red Sox beat the Orioles, 6 – 4. Lowe becomes the first pitcher in history to win 20 games the season after saving 20. He is also the first to record at least 40 saves and later win 20. Dennis Eckersley and John Smoltz did it the other way around.

2003:

Homering in his final at-bat, Vladimir Guerrero hits for ‘Le Carrousel’ at Montreal’s Olympic Stadium.

Carlos Zambrano of the Chicago Cubs pitches a no-hitter against the Houston Astros, winning 5 – 0 at Milwaukee’s Miller Park. The game was shifted from Houston to Milwaukee due to Hurricane Ike.

2010 – The Giants lose a frustrating game to the Dodgers, 1 – 0, on a fielding error by Juan Uribe. Barry Zito suffers his ninth consecutive loss in spite of giving up only one hit in 5 2/3 innings.

2014:

Trailing 4 – 1, the Marlins score four times against closer Jonathan Papelbon as Jordany Valdespin, Christian Yelich and Justin Bour collect RBIs to tie the score, and a wild pitch by Papelbon lets in the winning run. A frustrated Papelbon then gets ejected by umpire Joe West for gesturing at the crowd before Steve Cishek pitches the bottom of the inning to rack up his 35th save, setting a new personal best. Papelbon will be fined and suspended seven games for his unprofessional gesture, but umpire West will also receive a one-game suspension for grabbing the pitcher’s jersey after the incident.

2017 – The Indians set a new record for most consecutive wins with no ties. They record their 22nd straight win with one of their more spectacular victories yet: they trail the Royals, 2 – 1, in the bottom of the 9th, but with two outs and two strikes and closer Kelvin Herrera on the mound, Francisco Lindor drives a ball against the fence, just out of the reach of LF Alex Gordon, for a double that scores pinch-runner Erik Gonzalez from first base with the tying run. Then, in the 10th, after a double by José Ramírez and a walk to Edwin Encarnacion, Jay Bruce lines a double to the right-field corner for a 3 – 2 win. The previous record of 21 straight wins had been held by the 1935 Chicago Cubs.

2019 – Arizona manages to win a game in spite of mustering just one baserunner: Nick Ahmed hits a triple off Anthony DeSclafani in the 3rd inning, then comes in to score on a sacrifice fly by Jarrod Dyson. It’s enough to defeat the Reds, 1 – 0, as they only get three hits off Merrill Kelly and two relievers.

2020 – New York Mets owner Fred Wilpon and his partners agree to sell the team to hedge fund billionaire Steven Cohen for $2.4 billion, the highest price ever for a North American professional sports franchise. A similar deal collapsed earlier this year over the Wilpons’ insistence that they continue to make decisions for a period of five years after the sale, but there are no such strings attached this time, although the previous owners will retain a five percent minority share in the team.

2021 – At the 2021 European Championship, two 2-0 teams square off but it’s a clear mismatch as Spain no-hits Croatia in a 12 – 0, seven-inning mercy rule win. Orlando Rodriguez, Ernesto Pino, Jorge Balboa and former major leaguer Rhiner Cruz combine on the gem, while Engel Beltre scores four and Edison Valerio drives in four.

2022 – Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hits the 100th homer of his career off Drew Rasmussen in the 1st inning to put the Blue Jays ahead and they never look back, defeating the Rays, 5 – 1, behind Ross Stripling. The Jays now lead the Mariners by half a game and the Rays by a game and a half in the wild card standings. For Guerrero, who also hit his 100th career double earlier this week, it is his first long ball of the month as he has been in a slump of late.

2023 – The Rangers complete a four-game sweep of the Blue Jays with a 9 – 2 win at the Rogers Centre to move within one half-game of Houston in the AL West. In today’s game, Corey Seager homers on Kevin Gausman’s fifth pitch of the game, and while the Jays come back with two runs in the bottom of the inning on a homer by Vladimir Guerrero Jr. off Nathan Eovaldi, Texas scores in its next two turns at bat and never looks back. The Rangers outscore Toronto, 35-9, over the four games, as Toronto is now in danger of missing the postseason.

2024 – Gerrit Cole tries an unusual strategy in facing Rafael Devers, who has owned him since reaching the majors, hitting .333 with 8 homers in 39 at-bats against the Yankees’ ace: with one out and nobody on base in the 4th, Cole issues an intentional walk to Devers. The moves backfires badly as Devers immediately steals second base, before Cole walks Tyler O’Neill in turn. Masataka Yoshida and Wilyer Abreu follow with a double and a single, respectively, and Boston scores three runs en route to a 7 – 1 win. “Clearly, that was a mistake,” Cole admits after the game.

2025:

The USA wins the 2025 U-18 Baseball World Cup, beating Japan, 2 – 0, to avenge their prior loss to Japan three days earlier. MVP Coleman Borthwick throws a three-hitter.

The Mariners defeat the Angels, 11 – 2, for their ninth straight win, giving them sole possession of first place in the AL West, ahead of Houston. In the game, Cal Raleigh hits his 54th homer, giving a couple of records: most home runs as a catcher in a season with 43, passing Javy Lopez, and most homers by a switch-hitter, tying Mickey Mantle.
