NFL ROSTER CUTS TRACKER: TEAM-BY-TEAM PLAYER MOVES AHEAD OF 2026 SEASON

TITANS CUT QUARTERBACK WILL LEVIS AS NFL TEAMS TRIM THEIR ROSTERS, AP SOURCE SAYS
Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis was among more than 1,100 players cut Sunday as NFL teams trimmed their rosters, a person with knowledge of the decision told The Associated Press.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the Titans hadn’t announced their cuts.
A second-round pick in 2023 who started 21 games for the Titans, Levis was stuck behind Cam Ward and Mitch Trubisky. He was 5-16 for Tennessee in two seasons and didn’t play in 2025 following shoulder surgery.
“I think he’s been awesome,” Titans coach Robert Saleh said of Levis following Saturday’s game. “I thought he did a really nice job today. I thought he had a really good two-minute drive at the end of the half. Very good awareness with the time.”
Levis said he believes he can be a starting quarterback in the NFL.
“I feel like you’ve got to have that confidence in yourself regardless of your position,” Levis said after going 14 for 22 for 143 yards against the Bears in a 24-15 loss to close out the preseason. “I saw a quote, I forget who it was, but it’s, ‘Everyone in the league here is a starter.’ You’ve got to have that mentality. You could be in at the press of a button and just be ready to play. That’s one thing that I feel like I gained a lot in my time away, is gaining back some of the confidence that I lost throughout the last year that I played and I’m going to maintain that mindset the rest of my career.”
Teams had to be down to 53 players from 90 before 6 p.m. EDT.
Three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. made the New York Giants after missing the 2025 season.
The Vikings kept J.J. McCarthy, a first-round pick in 2024. Anthony Richardson, a first-round pick in 2023, remains with the Colts. Both quarterbacks were on the bubble.
The Browns kept four QBs after placing Dillon Gabriel on injured reserve with a back injury. Shedeur Sanders will back up Deshaun Watson and rookie Taylen Green is No. 3 on the depth chart. Gabriel, who started six games as a rookie last season, can return in Week 5.
The Atlanta Falcons also went with four QBs, keeping Tua Tagovailoa, Michael Penix Jr., Cooper Rush and Jack Strand.
Numerous players traded on cutdown day
Several teams made trades ahead of the cutdown deadline.
Offensive tackle Broderick Jones, a 2023 first-round pick, changed teams on Sunday. So did quarterback Quinn Ewers and defensive lineman CJ Okoye. Quarterback Kyle McCord, tight ends Hunter Long and Mark Redman, tackle Walter Rouse, defensive back Clark Phillips III, defensive lineman Gervon Dexter, centers Sedrick Van Pran-Granger and Jarrett Patterson were also traded.
A day after trading Ewers to Jacksonville, the Dolphins landed a new backup quarterback by acquiring McCord from Green Bay for a 2028 sixth-round pick. The Dolphins had acquired a 2028 sixth-round pick from the Jaguars for Ewers.
McCord threw four touchdown passes in a 42-38 victory over Arizona on Friday, including two in the final 3 1/2 minutes. But the Packers signed Tyrod Taylor in May to back up Jordan Love.
McCord will back up Malik Willis, who signed a three-year, $67.5 million contract in March after playing behind Love in Green Bay the past two seasons.
The Cardinals acquired Long and a 2028 seventh-round selection from Jacksonville for a sixth-round selection in 2028. Long has 20 receptions for 153 yards in 46 games.
The Colts got Van Pran-Granger and a 2027 seventh-round pick from Buffalo for a 2027 sixth-round selection. Van Pran-Granger appeared in 18 games, including one start with the Bills in two seasons.
The trade is an indication starter Connor McGovern will be ready to go after missing much of the past month with an undisclosed lower-body injury. Lloyd Cushenberry had replaced McGovern when he was sidelined.
The Bears acquired a 2027 fifth-round pick and Phillips from Atlanta for Dexter.
The 49ers added a backup center in Patterson from Houston for a 2027 seventh-round pick, a person familiar with the deal said on condition of anonymity because it hadn’t been announced.. Patterson started 21 games over the last three seasons after being a sixth-round pick by the Texans in 2023. He will back up Jake Brendel in San Francisco. The Niners had signed Brett Toth to fill that role in the offseason but he has been out since early August with a concussion.
The Packers continued to boost their tight end depth by acquiring Redman from the Rams for a 2028 seventh-round pick. The move comes three days after Green Bay signed veteran tight end Jonnu Smith.
The Vikings sent Rouse and a 2027 seventh-round pick to the Patriots in exchange for a sixth-round pick in the 2027.
Saturday’s trades
A day earlier, the Steelers sent Jones to Dallas for draft picks. Jones who was picked 14th overall by Pittsburgh three years ago, gives the Cowboys depth at offensive tackle.
Ewers, a seventh-round pick by Miami last year, will replace Nick Mullens as Trevor Lawrence’s backup.
Okoye went from the Ravens to the Giants, reuniting with Harbaugh.

AARON DONALD ENDS HIS 2 1/2-YEAR RETIREMENT AND RETURNS TO THE LOS ANGELES RAMS
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Aaron Donald returned to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, ending his retirement after 2 1/2 years to chase another Super Bowl title.
The 35-year-old Donald made his decision after several weeks of discussion and nearly three months of intensive workouts for a star defensive lineman who reigned atop his position in a Rams uniform from 2014 until his retirement in early 2024.
Donald joined a light practice at the Rams’ training complex later Sunday, shaking hands and exchanging hugs with Myles Garrett and the rest of his teammates, both old and new.
While he hasn’t decided whether he will play in the Rams’ season opener against the 49ers in Australia next month, Donald is eager to complete a comeback that seemed improbable only three months ago.
“Do I feel like I can play at a high level? Yes,” Donald said. “Do I feel like I can still be myself? One hundred percent, and if I didn’t feel like that, I wouldn’t be here.”
Donald agreed to a one-year contract, and ESPN reported he will make at least $20 million in an incentive-laden deal.
Donald became one of the greatest defensive players of his era during a decade spent entirely with the Rams in St. Louis and Los Angeles. He won three AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year awards while earning 10 Pro Bowl selections, eight All-Pro selections and a Super Bowl ring before he retired somewhat abruptly following the 2023-24 season.
After two years of tending to his business interests and enjoying ample family time, Donald began to entertain the notion of a comeback this summer after the Rams traded young lineman Jared Verse in a deal for Garrett, one of Donald’s few peers in contemporary defensive line play.

BRONCOS’ JONATHON COOPER, FACING STRANGULATION CHARGE, TO START SEASON ON COMMISSIONER’S EXEMPT LIST
Denver Broncos linebacker Jonathon Cooper, who’s facing a felony strangulation charge, will start the season on the commissioner’s exempt list.
The NFL’s decision Sunday means Cooper will continue to get paid for the time being and is allowed at the team’s training facilities but cannot practice with the team or play in games.
“It’s part of the process,” general manager George Paton said. “We continue to take this very seriously. We’re going to continue to monitor all the legal developments and continue to support Jonathon. Jonathon’s worked very hard to better himself and it’ll be good to have him in the building, be in meetings and just be a part of the team.”
Cooper faces an arraignment Monday on several charges following two domestic-violence arrests in June stemming from altercations with a woman he was dating at the time. He’s expected to enter a plea at that hearing unless an agreement is reached beforehand between prosecutors and Cooper’s lawyer, Harvey Steinberg.
Cooper was allowed to participate in training camp and on Friday was one of the Broncos’ captains in their preseason finale, a 34-6 win over the Minnesota Vikings.
The league is investigating Cooper’s situation and the sixth-year pro could face a lengthy suspension under the NFL’s domestic violence policy. Any games he serves on the exempt list would count toward his suspension, but he would also have to repay the money he earned while on the exempt list.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL
SEC SET TO ‘DEFEND’ RIGHTS AT HEARING ON PROS RETURNING TO COLLEGE
The Southeastern Conference said it’s ready to defend itself at a hearing Thursday in Louisiana against a temporary restraining order preventing the league from penalizing schools that play football players who have signed with NFL teams.
The SEC issued a statement Sunday following Friday’s action by District Court Judge William Jorden of Baton Rouge, La., who granted an amended TRO that restored the eligibility of some athletes and blocked the SEC’s plan to punish schools that recruit former pro hopefuls.
Thirty-three athletes brought the Louisiana case against the NCAA and were granted a TRO by the judge, who on Friday added the SEC and its commissioner, Greg Sankey.
“The order entered against the SEC and Commissioner Sankey is a temporary restraining order, not a final ruling on the merits,” the SEC said in a statement. “The SEC and Commissioner Sankey are prepared to contest the allegations in the plaintiffs’ petition at Thursday morning’s hearing and defend the SEC’s rights as a voluntary association to fulfill its mission to its member institutions.Sports news updates
“In the meantime, the SEC and Commissioner Sankey will continue to comply with the Court’s order. Following the hearing, the SEC will carefully review the Court’s decision and determine the appropriate next steps.”
According to multiple media reports, the SEC’s penalties would include suspending coaches for half a season, imposing a fine equal to 50% of the sport’s annual operating budget and revoking league voting rights. The conference specified football and men’s and women’s basketball teams that use a player who previously signed an NFL, NBA or WNBA contract.
A hearing is scheduled before Jorden in Baton Rouge on Thursday, just over 48 hours before the LSU Tigers kick off the season at home against Clemson. Arguments will be heard on whether the TRO will become a preliminary injunction in favor of the players or the injunction is stayed.
Among those impacted, according to multiple reports, are former New Orleans Saints defensive tackle Zxavian Harris and former Cleveland Browns tight end Dae’Quan Wright, both of whom are committed to play this fall at LSU. Edge defender Jack Pyburn, who was released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Sunday’s 53-man roster cutdown deadline, also hopes to play for the Tigers, per reports.
The latest legal maneuvering came after District Court Judge Martin Hoffman of Dallas ruled that the SEC cannot block a group of 41 athletes from returning to college despite their dalliances with pro leagues.
The SEC was joined last week by the Big Ten, Big 12 and Atlantic Coast Conference in announcing rules prohibiting athletes from returning to college. The SEC’s new ban affects players who declared for a pro draft and did not withdraw, signed a pro contract or appeared on a pro team’s roster.
The SEC reportedly voted 15-0 on Wednesday — with LSU abstaining — to allow the league to sanction schools and coaches that add former pro athletes to their rosters.
The legal cases follow the NCAA’s adoption of a new age-based eligibility model that allows athletes up to five seasons within a five-year eligibility period. Athletes who had exhausted their eligibility by the end of 2025-26 were excluded from the transition and they want to retroactively apply the new rule to them.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL
MLB ROUNDUP: YANKEES POUND RIVAL RED SOX 16-1 TO TAKE SEASON SERIES
Heliot Ramos delivered his biggest hit for his new team when his three-run homer capped a five-run fifth inning and helped the New York Yankees roll to a 16-1 victory over the visiting Boston Red Sox on Sunday afternoon.
The Yankees won for the 10th time in 14 games and moved four games ahead of the Red Sox for the AL’s top wild-card spot. New York also won seven of the 13 meetings to secure the season series and the tiebreaker should the rivals finish tied at the end of the regular season.
Austin Wells hit a pair of two-run homers in a nine-run eighth after entering the game as a pinch hitter for the Yankees. Jose Caballero hit a three-run homer in the eighth off infielder Andruw Monasterio, who also served up Wells’ second homer of the inning.
Paul Goldschmidt started the scoring with a two-run single that occurred after Boston center fielder Ceddanne Rafaela could not complete a running catch on Jazz Chisholm Jr.’s sinking liner. Rafaela caught the ball, but umpires determined the ball was touching the grass and the original call was upheld after Boston challenged.
New York’s Will Warren (9-6) allowed one run on six hits in seven-plus innings. Boston starter Ranger Suarez (5-4) was tagged for season highs of six runs and nine hits in 5 1/3 innings.
Rays 5, Padres 4 (11 innings)
Jorge Mateo lined a walk-off single in the 11th inning as Tampa Bay claimed its major league-leading 14th series sweep, rallying to stun visiting San Diego in St. Petersburg, Fla., after tying the game in the ninth against star reliever Mason Miller.
With the bags full and one out, Mateo hit a pitch by David Morgan (2-1) over left fielder Samad Taylor’s head for a single and the Rays’ fourth straight win. Jonny DeLuca knotted the game against Miller with two outs in the ninth and the Rays down 3-1. DeLuca hit a fly ball down the left-field line that Taylor originally caught, but his contact with the low wall forced the ball out of his glove and over for a two-run homer.
Rays starter Drew Rasmussen allowed two runs on four hits over six innings. Padres starter Robbie Ray yielded one run on three hits over six innings.
Blue Jays 7, Mariners 0

Marlins 6, Nationals 2
Otto Lopez’s two-run homer capped a six-run ninth inning and Miami rallied past host Washington.
The Marlins tallied six times on only two hits in the inning thanks to a bunt single, two walks, a bases-loaded hit-by-pitch, a sacrifice fly and a throwing error on that play. Jakob Marsee stole home for the Marlins’ fourth run before Lopez hit his 10th home run of the season. Dax Fulton (1-0) earned his first career win in relief.
Jorbit Vivas had two hits and two walks for the Nationals, who had won three straight.
Braves 3, Rockies 2 (10 innings)
Matt Olson hit a walk-off single in the 10th inning to lift streaking Atlanta over visiting Colorado for its seventh straight win.
After Victor Mederos (4-1) threw a perfect top of the 10th, Ronald Acuna Jr. opened the bottom of the inning with a single, advancing the automatic runner to third. Olson followed with an RBI single to right. Braves starter Tyler Mahle allowed just one run on five hits across 6 2/3 innings, striking out nine with no walks.
Jake McCarthy homered and Connor Norby added a game-tying RBI single in the eighth for the Rockies.
Guardians 11, Royals 1

Twins 5, White Sox 1
Zebby Matthews struck out five and allowed one run in 8 1/3 innings, and Minnesota cruised past Chicago in Minneapolis to snap a four-game losing streak.

Braden Montgomery drove in the lone run for the White Sox, whose four-game winning streak ended. Right-hander Jordan Hicks (2-2) served as the opener and took the loss. He allowed three runs on one hit in two-thirds of an inning.
Astros 6, Mets 3
LaMonte Wade Jr. cracked a two-run homer in the sixth inning that put Houston ahead for good in a win over host New York.
Pinch-hitting for Cam Smith after Yainer Diaz kept the inning going with a two-out double, Wade jumped on an 0-1 cutter from reliever Jonathan Pintaro (2-1). The homer traveled an estimated 409 feet, crashing off the facade of the second deck in right field for Wade’s third homer of the year.
Starter Ethan Pecko (1-0) earned his first major league win, allowing three hits and three runs (two earned) in five innings. Four relievers took care of the final four innings with Josh Hader earning his 21st save in as many chances.
Orioles 8, Athletics 5
Gunnar Henderson went 4-for-4 with a pair of home runs and five RBIs and finished a double shy of the cycle in leading Baltimore past the Athletics in West Sacramento, Calif.
The win gave the Orioles a sweep of the three-game series, their first since winning three straight in Houston, the first series after the All-Star Break, July 17-19.

STEVEN ALKER GOES BACK-TO-BACK ON TOUR WITH ALLY CHALLENGE TITLE
Steven Alker won back-to-back weeks on the PGA Tour Champions, and he didn’t need a playoff to do it on Sunday at the Ally Challenge in Grand Blanc, Mich.
The New Zealander shot 4-under-par 68 to win by three strokes at 15-under 201 in the three-round event at Warwick Hills Golf & Country Club.
Alker, 55, won his third event of the season and first in regulation after playoff wins at the Cologuard Classic in March in Tucson, Ariz., and last weekend at the Rogers Charity Classic in Calgary, Alberta.
“… To have these back-to-back weeks is super special,” Alker said. “It’s just nice to get it done down the stretch.”
The last player to win consecutive starts on the 50-and-older tour was Zach Johnson (Principal Charity Classic on June 14 and the Kaulig Companies Championship on July 12). Stewart Cink was the most recent player to capture back-to-back tournaments on the tour slate (Hoag Classic on March 29 and Senior PGA Championship on April 19).
Alker’s 13th career win on the PGA Tour Champions helps him contend in the Charles Schwab Cup points standings. He entered the week at No. 4 as he tries to add to titles won in 2022 and 2024. Cink is atop the standings as he goes for his second straight season title.
“Whenever you have multiple-win seasons, you’re doing pretty good out here,” Alker said. “It’s just getting harder and harder to win, especially with Zach (Johnson) and Stewart (Cink) playing so well. To get back-to-back, yep, it’s amazing. And to get it here is even more special. But I think momentum is huge in this game and what I’ve done the last couple weeks has definitely helped that.”
Alker started the day in second place, two shots behind Michael Block. Alker birdied Nos. 3 and 7, then bogeyed the par-3 No. 8 before a birdie run at Nos. 12-15. Asked the length of the final birdie at No. 15, he quipped, “I don’t know, 120 maybe?”
“It was probably a good 60 feet,” he continued. “It was coming across, it was down. Just trying to two-putt, two-putt and get out of there, but that was a bonus, gave me a buffer. It was nice.”
So much of a buffer that a bogey at No. 18 was hardly damaging for Alker.
South Africa’s Retief Goosen shot the low round of the day, an 8-under 64, to climb 19 spots and finish alone in second place, three strokes behind Alker at 12-under 204. Goosen’s round featured five birdies on the front nine for a 31 before he made birdies at Nos. 10-12 and 16, with a lone bogey at the par-4 No. 15.
“I made everything on the greens, and then suddenly when I had a close birdie chance on, was it 13? Missed a short one on 14, too,” Goosen said of two pars on those holes. “So suddenly putter went cold on me there for a few holes, unfortunately.
“Yeah, I mean, yesterday I was like feeling like walking off the golf course. It’s a funny old game, one day you want to give it up and the next day you have a chance.”
Block shot 2-over 74 and fell into a tie for third at 11 under with Cink (67 on Sunday) and Australia’s Greg Chalmers (69).
Block, 50, said he learned in his fifth start on the tour that he “can get a little better.”
“Steven Alker showed me a couple things I need to do,” Block said. “He did what I do on the first and second day and he does it on the final day. I need to learn how to do that. I played a little bit different golf than I did the first two days because I was nervous, I had never been there before. So, it was a learning experience for me.”

SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER WINS 2ND FEDEX CUP TITLE, PASSES TIGER WOODS ON MONEY LIST
ATLANTA — Scottie Scheffler has joined elite company.
Tiger Woods. Rory McIlroy. Scheffler. That’s it. That’s the list.
Scheffler joined golf royalty as the third player to win multiple FedEx Cup championships when he came from behind to capture the Tour Championship in the playoff finale Sunday at East Lake Golf Club.
Scheffler outdueled Norway’s Viktor Hovland, who was also trying to join the multiple-Tour Championships club.
Scheffler, the world’s No. 1 player and point standings leader, shot a 4-under-par 66 to finish 16-under 264, three shots ahead of Hovland. It was the second Tour Championship victory in three years for Scheffler, who won in 2024.
Hovland, the 2023 champion, couldn’t hold a one-stroke lead heading into the final round. He shot 2-over 72 to finish alone in second at 13 under.
McIlroy won the FedEx Cup three times (2016, 2019, 2022) and Woods twice (2007, 2009).
Scheffler overtook Woods for the top spot on the PGA Tour’s career money list. With the $10 million first prize, Scheffler now stands at the top with $130,390,661. Woods held the top spot with $120,999,166. McIlroy could have also surpassed Woods with a solo fourth finish or better.
“I felt like my thought process going into the postseason this year was I felt like maybe I’ve underperformed in some of the postseasons in the past,” Scheffler said. “I think of years like ‘22 and ‘23 where I had a lead at this tournament and wasn’t able to win the FedEx Cup or a playoff event those years.
“To come in this year maybe not winning the tournaments that I could have won throughout the regular season, to come in and win two out of three playoff events is definitely a nice way to finish off the season.”
Simply, Scheffler took the championship by matching the low round of the day.
“Obviously pretty disappointed with how I played today, just with the position that I was at,” Hovland said. “I only would have needed 1 under par to force a playoff. If I just had my normal game, my normal ball-striking from the previous years, I think I take away this tournament.”
Back and forth they battled, with Scheffler playing two groups ahead. Hovland, at 15 under, led Scheffler by three strokes going into the final round.
Scheffler started strong by hitting his tee shot on the par-3 second to two inches. The birdie moved him one and two strokes behind Ryan Gerard and Hovland, respectively, before the leaders even teed off. Scheffler then birdied the fourth to tie for the lead with Hovland at 14 under, after the first-round leader bogeyed his opening hole. Gerard double-bogeyed the opening hole to fall behind.
“The start was really challenging,” Scheffler said. “(Nos.) 1 and 2 playing into the wind, No. 1 is an extremely difficult starting hole, especially that pin location. For me to get out of there with a par, I felt like I got half a shot there. And then to birdie the second hole, I felt like a got another full shot there. I felt like I could move in pretty quickly if I got off to a good start today. And that was the case.
“It’s more challenging not being in control of the tournament. To get off to a good start and then those guys getting off to a bit of a slow start really put me right in the tournament early.”
Scheffler bogeyed the seventh but birdied the eighth to move back to 14 under and tied with Hovland.
Hovland birdied the eighth to move back to 15 under and retake the solo lead. Scheffler birdied the 10th to force another tie, then made a 5-footer for birdie at the 13th to move to 16 under and take the solo lead for the first time. He gave the lead back with a bogey on the 14th after a drive in the rough.
Hovland dropped back behind Scheffler with a bogey on the 13th, also following a drive in the rough.
The lead was two after Scheffler birdied the 16th, from the fairway bunker, to return to 16 under.
While Scheffler was playing the 18th, Hovland bogeyed the 17th to fall three shots back. He overshot the green from 103 yards with a lob wedge. Scheffler parred the 18th, but at that point had the comfortable lead with one hole to play. Hovland went on to par the 18th.
No one else really challenged Scheffler and Hovland. Of the others in the final three pairings: Gerard shot 2-over 72 and finished third at 12 under. Adam Scott of Australia also shot 72 and finished 10 under, tied for 11th.
Chris Gotterup and Sweden’s Ludvig Aberg each carded a 1-over 71 and finished tied for fourth at 11 under along with McIlroy (69).
They were joined by Englishman Alex Fitzpatrick (66), Jacob Bridgeman (68), Australian Min Woo Lee (68) and Russell Henley (68).
Scheffler moves closer to the Player of the Year award with his third win, including two in the playoffs, and 10 top-three finishes.
How do you celebrate such a historic victory? With a cheeseburger and fries. And a beer.
“I had a beer for the first time in a long time,” Scheffler said. “It just sounded good. Right when we got off the course, I got in there, these guys are trying to get me to do media and all this stuff. I was like, ‘How much time do we really have?’ They’re like, ‘We’ve got a couple minutes.’ ‘All right, let me go inside and get some air conditioning.’
“There was an open bar inside, and I’m like, ‘All right, I’m grabbing a beer.’ It tasted great.”

RUONING YIN WINS FOR FIRST TIME SINCE 2024 AT FM CHAMPIONSHIP
China’s Ruoning Yin fought off a challenge by South Korea’s Hyo Joo Kim and captured the FM Championship by two strokes on Sunday at TPC Boston in Norton, Mass.
Yin, 23, carded a 2-under-par 70 and finished with a 14-under total of 274 to win for the sixth time on tour.
Kim, who grabbed the lead and got to 13 under by birdieing holes Nos. 7, 9 and 10, bogeyed the 16th hole and recorded a 1-under 71 to finish solo second at 12 under.
Allisen Corpuz (11 under) and Rose Zhang (10 under) tied for the low round of the day at 4-under 68. Corpuz, who was tied for the lead after two rounds, finished alone in third place, while Zhang tied for fourth with South Korea’s Sei Young Kim (73).
Yin, Hyo Joo Kim and Sei Young Kim battled all day in the final group and each held a lead on the back nine.
Sei Young Kim chipped in for a birdie 2 on the par-3 11th to get to 14 under, but took a double-bogey 7 on the ensuing hole and two more bogeys on Nos. 13 and 14 to fall out of contention.
Yin rolled in a 25-foot birdie putt on the par-5 12th hole to tie Hyo Joo Kim at -13.
But Hyo Joo Kim suffered a three-putt bogey on the par-3 16th hole, misfiring from 9 feet away for par.
Both players parred No. 17 and Yin finished off her first win of the year with a birdie on the 72nd hole. Yin’s last win occurred at the Maybank Championship in October 2024.
“It’s just been so long since my last win,” Yin said. “And then I know I work hard and also my team, my mom is here. Just everything just comes together.
“I think this one definitely boost my confidence a little bit more, and, you know, I just want to enjoy the moment.”
Hyo Joo Kim, who has won twice in 2026 and is the fourth-ranked player in the world, wants more before the year ends.
“It kept going back and forth with the scores on who would win so no one knew. At the end of the day it was Ronni,” she said through a translator.
“My goal is to win another one before the season ends. But I think right now I’m concentrating on playing my best golf.”
Top-ranked Nelly Korda shot a 1-over 73 and tied for 50th place at 1 over for the week.
Sweden’s Anna Nordqvist wrapped up her final event on the LPGA Tour by tying for 38th at 1 under. The 39-year-old three-time major champion will captain the European team at the Solheim Cup next month.
“I’m not really sure how to feel,” Nordqvist said about her retirement. “Nothing ever prepares you for this moment. I’m definitely going to miss it.”

TENNIS
MARIANO NAVONE OUSTS NOVAK DJOKOVIC IN 1ST-ROUND SHOCKER AT U.S. OPEN
Unseeded Mariano Navone stunned No. 4 seed and four-time U.S. Open champion Novak Djokovic 7-6 (5), 5-7, 4-6, 6-2, 6-1 on the first day of the Grand Slam’s main draw late Sunday in New York.
Djokovic, 39, struggled physically throughout the marathon match lasting four hours and 36 minutes, having trouble moving at times and getting physically ill on multiple occasions.
“I think it was obvious that an awful feeling on the court for me,” Djokovic said of his health condition, made worse by the heat and humidity. “It is something that I’ve been carrying, unfortunately, pretty much every match this year. You know, vomiting, throwing up, serious issue there, and then my whole body starts to collapse, basically cramping and pain, and the back just gave up in the end, and shoulder, and I couldn’t close it out, break up in the fourth, but just struggled all the way since the fourth game of the match.
“And again, don’t want to take too much out of his win,” he continued. “Congrats to him; he’s a nice guy, fighter, but you know, I didn’t enjoy myself.”
Djokovic had never lost a first-round match at the U.S. Open. The 24-time major champion from Serbia had not lost in the first round of a major since the 2006 Australian Open.
“It’s amazing,” Navone said. “The way we played, five sets against the GOAT. … I’m very happy. I don’t know, what can I say?”
Argentina’s Navone, 25, was 0-4 in five-set matches and 12-29 in tour-level matches on hard courts when he faced Djokovic at Arthur Ashe Stadium. Djokovic was 42-12 in career five-set matches and has 101 tour-level titles.
Navone converted six of 17 of his break-point opportunities while saving 8 of 12. Djokovic had slightly more aces (10-9) and double faults (10-8) as well as more winners (46-36) and unforced errors (70-34).
“It’s unbelievable. It means a lot for me,” Navone said of his first time facing Djokovic, one of his idols. “It’s a dream come true, I mean seriously, 100%. Now I have to recover. I think it’s almost 12 o’clock, so we have to go to sleep.”
No. 7 seed Daniil Medvedev avoided the fate that befell him at the U.S. Open in 2025 and worked a straight-sets victory over French qualifier Hugo Gaston 6-4, 6-2, 6-4 in two hours and 14 minutes.
The 2021 U.S. Open champion from Russia lost a memorable five-set match to France’s Benjamin Bonzi in the first round last season and was fined for his on-court behavior, exacerbated by a photographer entering the court of play while Bonzi was serving for the match.
No such drama occurred this time for Medvedev, perhaps especially locked in after he was shown the door in the first round of the tune-up event last week in Winston-Salem, N.C.
“The last couple of weeks were not easy but, you know how it is, sometimes you lose matches, sometimes you win,” Medvedev said in his on-court interview. “I’m happy that today I managed to produce a high level of tennis. I felt like I did everything I wanted to do well. I finished the match strong. I started the match strong. I’m really glad the way I played.”
Medvedev out-aced Gaston 10-0 and won a stellar 38 of his 46 first-service points (82.6%). He saved the only break point he faced and will meet the winner between wild card Sebastian Gorzny and Belgium’s Raphael Collignon in the second round.
The top American man in action was No. 20 seed Tommy Paul, who got past Hong Kong’s Coleman Wong 6-7 (3), 6-1, 6-3, 6-3.
Wong served up 15 aces to Paul’s nine and charged back from down 5-3 to force a tiebreaker and win the first set. Paul found another gear after that.
“I feel like I started the match really, really well,” Paul said in his on-court interview. “Obviously had a little hiccup there at the end of the first set and didn’t think I played too well there in the breaker. I knew I had to up my intensity in the second (set) and the rest of the match, really.
“I wanted to get the crowd a little bit involved. I think we had some good points, and it was fun to play with you guys.”
Czech No. 18 seed Jiri Lehecka defeated Spaniard Pablo Carreno Busta 6-1, 7-6 (5), 4-6, 6-2. French No. 26 seed Arthur Rinderknech beat Japan’s Sho Shimabukuro 6-7 (4), 6-2, 7-6 (4), 6-2, while No. 27 Tomas Martin Etcheverry of Argentina topped the Czech Republic’s Vit Kopriva 6-3, 6-4, 6-0.
The first seeded player to go down in the men’s singles draw was No. 29 Cameron Norrie of Great Britain, as Frenchman Luca Van Assche earned a 6-7 (6), 6-2, 6-2, 6-3 upset. Norrie is just five spots above Van Assche in the ATP rankings (No. 35 vs. No. 40), but the Frenchman was the better player Sunday. He won 49 of his 58 first-service points (84.5%) and Norrie managed just 43 of 75 (57.3%).
In a night match, No. 15 seed Alexander Bublik of Kazakhstan eliminated American wild card J.J. Wolf 6-4, 6-2, 3-6, 6-1.

AUTO RACING
PATO O’WARD SWEEPS MILWAUKEE; ALEX PALOU CLINCHES FIFTH SERIES TITLE
The INDYCAR SERIES history book got a workout after Pato O’Ward won the completion of the Snap-on Makers and Fixers 250 on Sunday at the Milwaukee Mile.
O’Ward (photo, top) swept both races Sunday in the No. 5 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet on the historic 1.015-mile oval, winning the race that was suspended due to weather Saturday just a few hours after taking the checkered flag in the Snap-on Milwaukee Mile 250. The Mexican became the first driver to win two INDYCAR SERIES races on the same day since Rick Mears swept a doubleheader June 28, 1981, at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
“I’ve dreamed of weekends like this before, having doubleheaders just a couple of times in my career, wishing I wanted to win both of them in a weekend,” O’Ward said. “We got to win both in a day. That’s definitely a dream come true for myself and the team.”
More history was made when Alex Palou (photo, above) clinched his fifth NTT INDYCAR SERIES championship after finishing 10th in this race in the No. 10 DHL Chip Ganassi Racing Honda. It was the Spaniard’s fourth straight title, tying a series record set by Sebastien Bourdais from 2004-07.
Palou, 29, also became the youngest driver in series history to win five titles. A.J. Foyt was 32 when he earned his fifth championship in 1967. Only Foyt, with seven, and Scott Dixon, with six, have won more INDYCAR SERIES titles than Palou.
“Incredible,” Palou said. “I owe everything to this team. So proud of this team. It is great to have another championship and ready for the next one.”
O’Ward, who started first Saturday and led when the race resumed today, crossed the finish line 1.7535 seconds ahead of David Malukas in the No. 12 Verizon Team Penske Chevrolet. Rinus VeeKay scored his first podium finish of his strong season in the No. 76 Juncos Hollinger Racing Chevrolet.
Scott McLaughlin finished fourth in the No. 3 Clarience Technologies Team Penske Chevrolet, while 2025 Milwaukee winner Christian Rasmussen rounded out the top five in the No. 21 Splenda Stevia Chevrolet of ECR.
Chevrolet-powered drivers took the top seven spots in the finishing order on a day that Honda clinched its 12th INDYCAR SERIES manufacturers’ championship.
O’Ward grabbed the lead for good on Lap 226 on a breathtaking final restart. Malukas led the field to the green flag, but his car was sluggish on the restart. O’Ward dove low and McLaughlin moved high, with the trio going three-wide into Turn 1.
The Mexican pulled ahead for the lead, making one of the track-record 372 on-track passes for position, and never trailed thereafter. Malukas stayed within a second of O’Ward for 10 laps after the restart but faded in the last 10 laps.
It was the sixth career runner-up finish without a victory for Malukas. Four of those second-place finishes have come in his first year for Team Penske, which he joined this year for his fifth season in the series.
“I’m just so frustrated,” Malukas said. “We had the car; we did everything right. We’re just cursed. I literally believe I have some sort of curse. Everything was in our favor there.
“This weekend, both races we were having issues with the engine on restarts and coming out of the pits, needing to lift and having these events where we just lose power. That really let us down.”
O’Ward and Malukas were the dominant drivers of the race, which was suspended after 90 laps Saturday due to rain and wet track conditions. They combined to lead 212 of the 250 laps, with O’Ward out front for 119 and Malukas 93.
“David was so quick, he was so good in traffic,” O’Ward said. “I was just going to have to wait for something like that (slow restart) to happen in order to have a chance on him. Otherwise, it was just going to be pedaling it to the end.”
Rasmussen and Christian Lundgaard, who ended up sixth in the No. 7 Arrow McLaren Chevrolet, both led laps during the completion of the race today but only during pit cycles. Otherwise, it was the O’Ward-Malukas show.
Palou struggled with handling problems in this race and kept a wide berth nearly every time a rival passed him. He led the standings by 97 points entering this race after finishing fifth in the Snap-on Milwaukee Mile 250 earlier today and needed to lead by just 54 points after this race to seal the title. So, it was safety first.
“Today was a really bad race for us,” Palou said. “We were suffering all the time. But just keep focused, keep on going.”
The next race is the season-ending Mission Grand Prix of Monterey this Friday through Sunday at WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca in Monterey, California. Palou has won that race three of the last four years, including two in a row. He will race in a special livery saluting CGR legend and two-time INDYCAR SERIES champion Alex Zanardi, who passed away May 1.
“I’m very excited for next weekend,” Palou said. “My favorite racetrack of the year, repping that beautiful livery in honor of Alex Zanardi.”

COLTS WIDE RECEIVER KEENAN ALLEN ARRESTED ON DRUNKEN DRIVING CHARGES
Allen, 34, was being held at the Marion County Arrestee Processing Center. The misdemeanor charges listed on the jail records were operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated and operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated — endangering a person.
The Colts announced on Aug. 19 that they had agreed to a one-year contract with Allen, a six-time Pro Bowl selection. He had one catch for 24 yards during Saturday night’s 25-16 preseason loss to Detroit.
“We are aware of the incident involving Keenan Allen last night,” the Colts said in a statement. “We are in the process of gathering more information and have no further comment at this time.”
A message was left seeking comment from Allen’s agent.
Allen had 81 receptions for 777 yards and four touchdowns in 17 games with the Los Angeles Chargers last season. He ranks 13th in NFL history in receptions (1,055), 33rd in yards (12,051) and 52nd in TD catches (70).

INDIANAPOLIS INDIANS
INDIANAPOLIS – Ronny Simon hit a go-ahead double in the bottom of the seventh inning, but the Columbus Clippers rallied for four runs in the top of the eighth and defeated the Indianapolis Indians, 9-6, on Sunday afternoon at Victory Field. The interchanging contest featured two ties and four lead changes.
After the Indians (34-23, 65-67) took a 6-5 lead, a flurry of three consecutive extra-base hits plated the decisive runs for Columbus (28-27, 69-60). Following a single from Milan Tolentino and lineout by Alfonsin Rosario, Dom Nuñez doubled home Tolentino to tie the game. Dayan Frias then hit a two-run homer, his second long ball of the game and Blake Perkins went back-to-back with a solo shot off Beau Burrows (L, 5-3) for a 9-6 score.
The Clippers jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the third inning, with Frias opening the scoring on a solo homer. Kyle Manzardo plated the second run on a groundout and Ralphy Velazquez drove an RBI single to center field for the third run.
Indy mounted a comeback in the fourth inning, bringing four runs across to take the lead. Enmanuel Valdez brought home Duce Gourson with a single, Robert Hassell III had an RBI knock to plate Simon and then Nick Cimillo made the most of an extra opportunity to take the lead. On a foul down the right field line, George Valera went crashing over the wall and into the stands, nearly completing the catch to end the inning. Cimillo then hammered the next pitch into the left center field gap, scoring two to put the Indians on top, 4-3.
The Clippers punched back in the sixth inning with Tolentino clubbing a two-run homer for a 5-4 lead, his 18th of the campaign. A sacrifice fly from Tyler Callihan in the bottom half of the frame knotted the contest.
Thomas Harrington got the start for the Indians and tossed 5.0 innings of three-run ball with six strikeouts. Burrows allowed all four runs in the eighth. Connor Brogdon (W, 2-0) recorded the final out in the seventh inning and Steven Pérez (S, 5) shut down Indy in the ninth to end the game.
Indianapolis has an off day on Monday before beginning a six-game series with the Toledo Mud Hens (Triple-A affiliate of the Detroit Tigers) on Tuesday, Sept. 1 at 6:35 PM ET. Starting pitchers have not yet been named for the series opener.

INDIANA VOLLEYBALL
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – The first full week of the season for the Indiana volleyball team (0-1, 0-0 B1G) will take it up north to West Lafayette for the first B1G-SEC Challenge Week presented by All State. Purdue is the host team for this quadrant of the challenge that also features IU, Georgia and Texas A&M. The Hoosiers will play Georgia on Tuesday (Sept. 1) before playing the defending national champions on Wednesday (Sept. 2).
This week, with matchups assigned by the conference, is part of head coach Steve Aird’s desire to challenge his team from the jump in 2026. The season began last Friday with a loss at No. 7 Louisville. After going blow for blow in set one with the Cardinals, Louisville used its experience from opening weekend to turn on the jets in its home opener.
Now with a game in the bank, the Hoosiers return to the court with a chance to put some resume-boosting wins in their bag. Second-year outside hitter Jaidyn Jager and third-year middle blocker Ella Boersema each shared the team lead with seven kills in Friday’s effort. First-year outside hitter Sara Snowbarger made her collegiate debut with two blocks and two kills.
Beginning on Tuesday, IU will play four games in seven days in a tour of the Midwest. Sloane Martin and Emily Ehman will have the call of both games in West Lafayette on Tuesday (FS1) and Wednesday (BTN) evenings. IU’s home opener is set for September 10th against Cal Poly.

A Win Would
GEORGIA: Be the first victory over Georgia since 1988. It will also be the third time under head coach Steve Aird that the Hoosiers have beaten an SEC program.
TEXAS A&M: Be the 15th top-15 win in program history and the fifth under head coach Steve Aird. It would also be the second win against the Aggies during his tenure.
BOTH: Be a pair of resume-boosting victories during the early portion of the year. It would improve IU to 30-37-1 against current SEC schools.
Stat and Trends
• The Hoosiers will play at Mackey Arena for the third-straight year with contests against Georgia, Texas A&M.
• IU has finished .500 or better in each of the last four seasons – the program has won 77 games since 2022.
• Head coach Steve Aird and the Hoosiers will face four-straight power four conference programs to open the year.
Notable
TOUGH TESTS CONTINUES: After dropping a match at No. 7 Louisville last Friday, IU’s start to the year moves on with matches against Georgia, No. 8 Texas A&M and No. 22 Tennessee. This is the first time since 1987 that the Hoosiers will play at least three ranked opponents during the non-conference slate.
STELLAR SOPHOMORES: All six members of IU’s second-year class played in Friday’s match and have appeared in at least 25 games in their career. Outside hitter Jaidyn Jager, setter Teodora Krickovic and defensive specialist Audrey Jackson have played in all 34 contests of their collegiate career.
BOERSEMA RETURNS: Third-year middle blocker Ella Boersema returned to the court in a real match for the first time since last October. She played on the right side in IU’s opener at No. 7 Louisville and shared the team lead with seven kills. She had six kills in the first set of the match while hitting .625.
SNOWY SHOWS UP: First-year outside hitter Sara Snowbarger recorded her first two collegiate kills in her debut match for the Hoosiers on Friday. She is the 18th freshman – seventh outside hitter – to start on opening night under the guidance of head coach Steve Aird in Bloomington.
SEC HISTORY: Against the current members of the SEC, the Hoosiers have an all-time record of 28-37-1. The last win against a team in the league was actually against Texas A&M during the 2022 campaign. Head coach Steve Aird also knocked off Kentucky during his second year in 2019.
VETERAN PRESENCE: Fifth-year middle blocker Kiki Granberry is back on the court after taking a medical redshirt last year at Tennessee. She had three kills and three blocks in IU’s game at Louisville. In her collegiate career, Granberry is hitting .371 with over 500 total kills out of the middle.
STAYING LOYAL: Of the 11 players that appeared on the court on Friday for the Hoosiers, 10 of them began their careers in Bloomington. Three of the starters in the match against Louisville (Jager, Gray, Krickovic) also started last year’s season-opening win at Miami (Fla.).
ON THE ROAD: Head coach Steve Aird is looking for his 10th ranked win as the leader of the IU program. He took down four ranked opponents during last year’s season, including road wins at USC and UCLA. He has a ranked victory over an SEC opponent (No. 15 Kentucky – Sept. 14, 2019) during his tenure.
Scouting the Opponent
Georgia (3-0, 0-0 SEC)
• The Bulldogs won all three games in their home invitational to begin the season. Graduate student outside hitter Bianna Muoneke surpassed 1,000 career kills with 15 in the four-set victory over Furman. She’s averaging 3.50 kills per set as Georgia’s top offensive option early in the year.
• Sophomore outside hitter Marin Collins (2.50 kills per set) and freshman opposite hitter Gigi Artilles (3.00 kills per set) join Muoneke on the pins. Sophomore setter Chloe Elarton has handled most of the duties as the starting setter in a 5-1 system.
Texas A&M (3-2, 0-0 SEC)
• The Aggies are still awaiting the return of star senior outside hitter Kyndal Stowers who has missed the first five games of the year through injury. Fifth-year outside hitter Natalie Ring has carried the load in the meanwhile with 3.76 kills per set in the first 17 sets of the year.
• Sophomore setter Kirra Musgrove and senior setter Lily Nicholson have shared duties at the position early in the year but Musgrove’s 104 assists (6.12 per set) lead the way. She has gotten good contributions from sophomore outside hitter Megan Fitch and junior middle blocker Eliza Sharp in the early proceedings of the year.
Inside the Series
Georgia
• These two teams played four times in a six year span, alternating home sites in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s. However, the series hasn’t been touched since then. This is the first neutral site meeting between the Bulldogs and Hoosiers in program history.
Texas A&M
• This is one team that has a little more familiarity over the years. Indiana and Texas A&M have played twice in the Steve Aird era including a 3-1 win in 2022 on the campus of Western Kentucky.
• No one from that game four years ago is still on the team but veteran middle blocker Kiki Granberry did play against the Aggies while she was at Tennessee.

INDIANA MEN’S SOCCER
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — After a near-perfect three-match, in-state homestand, the Hoosiers cross the Ohio River Monday (Aug. 31) to visit Louisville for their first road match of the 2026 season. Both teams come into the meeting with 3-0-0 records.
Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET. Fans unable to attend can watch the match on the ACC Network or via the Watch ESPN app.
KICKING OFF
• Defeating Notre Dame (3-1), Evansville (3-0) and Butler (1-0) to start the campaign, Indiana has yet to allow a goal from open play, its lone concession a penalty kick in the season opener. The Hoosiers shut out their last two opponents, Evansville and Butler.
• Indiana’s top-ranked transfer class has made an instant impact, with maybe the most apparent example being Oliver Moller-Jensen. The reigning Top Drawer Soccer National Player of the Week recorded three goals and two assists in his first two matches as a Hoosier and tallied 11 shots on Thursday against Butler.
• Louisville head coach John Michael Hayden was a two-time national champion (2003-04) as an Indiana player, totaling 13 goals and 10 assists from 2003-06. Monday marks his first time facing his alma mater as a head coach.
ABOUT THE CARDINALS
• Louisville opened the season with victories against IU Indy (2-1), Kentucky (3-2) and Lipscomb (3-1).
• Hayden owns a 60-49-19 record into his eighth season as head coach of Louisville men’s soccer.
• Midfielder Giacomo Zizza leads the Cardinals with nine points through three matches, coming from four goals and one assist.
SERIES HISTORY
• Indiana and Louisville meet in the regular season for the first time in 10 years, the last matchup coming in 2016 – a 2-1 victory for IU, as Trevor Swartz converted the winning penalty kick right out of the halftime break.
• Indiana has won 19 of the 24 meetings all-time, including the first 14 matches of the series. The programs met annually until that 2016 match. IU won each of the last three meeting, and since the programs have met semi-regularly in exhibition matches since.
• Hayden helped IU to four consecutive 2-0 wins over the Cardinals from 2003-06. In the 2004 meeting, Hayden scored in the fourth minute to lead IU to victory. It was his fifth game-winning goal in six games.

THE COURSE
Two championship 18-hole courses make up the Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex, both designed by legendary golf course architect Pete Dye.
The Boilermaker Classic will be contested on the Kampen-Cosler Course, a links-style par 72 that will play at 6,342 yards.
Kampen-Cosler is rated one of the top collegiate courses in the nation and has been awarded 4.5 stars on Golf Digest’s “Places to Play.” Kampen-Cosler is ranked as one of the most difficult golf courses in Indiana.
The course has hosted a number of prestigious collegiate and public tournaments, including the 2003 NCAA Women’s Golf Championship, the 2005 Women’s Western Amateur and the 2025 Junior PGA Championships.
HISTORY AT HOME
The Boilermakers will be hosting a tournament on one of their home courses for the seventh time since 2019.
The Boilermaker Classic returned to the schedule in 2023, as Purdue captured the season-opening tournament on the Kampen-Cosler Course before defending the title to start the 2024-25 season.
The Boilermaker Spring Classic was held on the Ackerman-Allan Course the past two springs and in 2019. In the 2019 Boilermaker Classic, assistant coach Lauren Guiao placed fifth on the individual leaderboard with rounds of 73 (+1) and 72 (E).
LAST YEAR’S TOURNAMENT
At last year’s season-opening Boilermaker Classic, Purdue (+14) placed fourth as Ole Miss (-2) claimed the team title.
The Boilermakers led the field in pars (175) and ranked second in par-4 scoring (+12).
Samantha Brown fired a career-low 69 to vault up the leaderboard and finish ninth to lead Purdue. The sophomore played the Birck Boilermaker Golf Complex’s Kampen-Cosler Course even par (75-72-69—216) through three rounds to record her first Top 10 performance for the Old Gold and Black. She found most of her success on the par 5s, playing the holes 4-under throughout the tournament to rank third in the field.
Lauren Timpf finished 3-over (69-76-74—219) to tie for 15th. Her tournament was highlighted by an opening round 69 (-3). Throughout the two days, Timpf played the par 3s 2-under par to rank third in the field.
Ashley Kim (+5) and Luana Valero (+9) placed 18th and 28th, respectively, on the individual leaderboard in their first tournament as Boilermakers.
THE SQUAD
Purdue returns a veteran squad for the 2026-27 campaign. Seven Boilermakers played in at least nine tournaments a season ago, including four that competed in all 13 events.
The returning cast includes All-Big Ten golfer Samantha Brown, who tied a school record with six rounds in the 60s last year, as well as a pair of Big Ten All-Championships Team honorees in Lauren Timpf and Luana Valero.
Valero was also Big Ten All-Freshman after one of the best freshman seasons in program history.
Two newcomers join the team in senior Olivia Hemmila and freshman Ariana Urrea. Hemmila made the move to West Lafayette after three seasons at Oakland where she earned All-Horizon League First Team honors. Urrea is the lone freshman Boilermaker, playing high school golf in Florida and hailing from Peru.
WINNING WITH BYRD AND GUIAO
Purdue Women’s Golf begins its fifth season under the leadership of head coach Zack Byrd and assistant coach Lauren Guiao. Over the past four years, the dynamic duo has brought the winning tradition back to West Lafayette.
Purdue has won six tournaments under Byrd and Guiao, the most in a four-year span since winning six from 2011-14. The Boilermakers have won at least one tournament in four straight seasons for the first time since a streak of nine consecutive years from 2006-14.
The Boilermakers defended their title at the 2026 Coach Mo Classic, the 17th tournament that the program has won multiple times.
After starting off the 2024-25 season with a win at the Boilermaker Classic, a victory at the Coach Mo Classic gave the Boilermakers multiple tournament wins in consecutive seasons for the first time since a six-year stretch from the fall of 2005 to the spring of 2011.
Purdue has also claimed victories at the 2023 Boilermaker Classic, the 2023 Tulane Classic and the 2023 Mary Fossum Invitational with Byrd at the helm.
The Boilers collected just one tournament title in the five seasons prior to Byrd’s arrival.
2025-26 RECAP
The Boilermakers earned a trip to the postseason for the 11th straight season after a strong 2025-26 campaign.
Winning the Coach Mo Classic for the second straight year marked the sixth victory under Zack Byrd and assistant coach Lauren Guiao, the most in a four-year span since winning 10 from 2011-14.
Purdue placed third at the 2026 Big Ten Championships, the program’s best performance at the conference tournament since 2019. Entering the tournament as the seventh seed, the Boilermakers played some of their best golf of the season and recorded their second-lowest 54-hole total ever at the B1G Championships (284-283-296—863).
Continuing the program’s tradition of success, Purdue had at least one Boilermaker on the All-Big Ten teams for the 30th consecutive season. Following a vote from the league’s coaches, sophomore Samantha Brown was named Second Team All-Big Ten to earn all-league honors for the first time in her career, while Luana Valero earned a spot on the conference’s inaugural all-freshman team.
Three Boilermakers cracked the lineup in all 13 tournaments: Valero, Lauren Timpf and Ashley Kim.
A LOOK AT THE SCHEDULE
After the season-opening home tournament, Purdue heads to Tennessee to compete in the Mason Rudolph Championship just outside of Nashville (Sept. 18-20). One weeks later, the Boilermakers travel north for the Fighting Irish Classic in South Bend, Indiana (Sept. 26-27).
Kicking off the month of October, Purdue returns to the Windy City Collegiate Classic (Oct. 5-6) as three-time tournament champions (2008, 2009, 2010). The Boilermakers conclude the fall by going to Texas for the Abilene Christian Intercollegiate (Oct. 19-21), which will be broadcast live on Golf Channel.
Flipping the calendar to 2027, the Boilermakers serve as hosts of the Golf Reservation Center Dominican Republic Classic in Punta Cana (Jan. 31-Feb. 2). The tournament replaces the annual Purdue Puerto Rico Classic, as the Boilermakers welcome teams to Cocotal Country Club for the international event.
Purdue returns to two more tournaments that were on the schedule the past three seasons, both in the state of Florida. The Boilermakers tee it up at the Spartan Sun Coast Invitational in Sarasota (Feb. 14-15) and the Coach Mo Classic in St. Augustine (March 29-30) as the reigning two-time defending champions. Nestled in between the two events is the Puerto Vallarta Invitational in Mexico (March 19-21).
Serving as the final tune-up before the conference championship, Purdue returns to West Lafayette for the Boilermaker Spring Classic. The spring tournament will take place on the other BBGC Pete Dye course, Ackerman-Allen (April 11-12).
After venturing more than 2,000 miles west for last year’s conference tournament, Purdue travels east for the 2026 Big Ten Championships at the prestigious Nemacolin Resort in Farmington, Pennsylvania (April 23-25). Last year, the Boilermakers placed third at B1G Championships for their best conference finish since 2019.
Rounding out the schedule, the Boilermakers plan to hear their names called for postseason play in one of six NCAA Regionals (May 10-12) with sights set on a return to the NCAA Championships in Carlsbad, California (May 21-26).

INDIANA STATE WOMEN’S SOCCER
CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Indiana State earned a hard-fought 1–1 draw on Sunday afternoon at Austin Peay, battling through physical stretches of play and generating sustained second-half pressure to secure a road point. The Sycamores showed resilience after conceding early, responded with composure, and controlled long portions of the match as momentum shifted their way. It was a good performance from a group continuing to build identity and consistency early in the 2026 season.
Indiana State created chances from the opening minutes, pushing the tempo and finding early looks in the attacking third. After falling behind in the third minute, the Sycamores settled in defensively, tightened their shape, and gradually took control of possession. The second half brought sharper movement, more decisive passing, and repeated pressure that eventually produced the equalizer. Indiana State continued to threaten throughout the final 40 minutes, generating multiple shots and corners while keeping Austin Peay on its heels. The draw reflects a strong road response and another step forward for a team showing confidence and depth.
How They Scored
3′ — Austin Peay: Kayla Barr finished a left-footed shot to the bottom left, assisted by Makai King. (0–1)
48′ — Indiana State: Meagyn Riffle scored with a right-footed shot to the top right on a free kick. (1–1)

SOUTHERN INDIANA WOMEN’S SOCCER
EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Soccer dropped a 3-0 decision in a battle against Purdue University on Sunday afternoon at Strassweg Field.
Despite a strong effort by the Screaming Eagles (0-3-2), the Boilermakers (5-0-1) remained undefeated after scoring three goals in an 11-minute span in the middle of the match. The contest was scoreless through the first 36 minutes and for the last 43-plus minutes.
Statistically, USI tallied seven shots and four on goal, while USI’s defense held Purdue, the top attacking team in the nation heading into Sunday’s match, to its season low of 21 shots taken and eight shots on goal. Freshmen midfielders Shea Krakowski and Liza Anderson led the Screaming Eagles with two shots each. Krakowski had a team-high two shots on target. Sophomore goalkeeper Merrick Schwalbach matched her career high with five saves in goal.
USI Women’s Soccer nearly started Sunday’s match with a bang, as Krakowski fired a shot just past a minute into the contest from outside the top of the box that nearly snuck in under the crossbar but was punched over the goal by Purdue’s keeper. After a stretch of time that saw Schwalbach make three saves to keep the game scoreless, Krakowski placed another shot on goal in the 27th minute that was saved.
Following the back-and-forth play for most of the first half, Purdue struck first in the 37th minute off a corner kick to take a 1-0 advantage. The Boilermakers ended up taking a 2-0 lead into halftime after scoring again right before the final second of the opening half.
Out of the halftime break, Purdue scored just over a minute into the second half to build a 3-0 lead. Later in the half, Anderson and sophomore midfielder Anna Depenbrock each placed a shot on goal, but USI could not find a breakthrough at the net. Meanwhile, USI’s defense shut out Purdue for the rest of the match.
The Screaming Eagles will wrap up their two-match home set at Strassweg Field on Thursday at 4 p.m. against Arkansas State University for Greek Appreciation Day. The home contest precedes a four-match road stretch for USI Women’s Soccer.

VALPO WOMEN’S SOCCER
Taking on one of the nation’s top mid-major programs on the road, where the hosts haven’t lost since the 2023 season, the Valpo soccer team put together a strong effort Sunday afternoon at Western Michigan, battling the Broncos before falling by a 2-0 final.
How It Happened
Western Michigan struck first in the 23rd minute, as Sophia Bowman found the back of the net just seconds past the halfway mark of the opening period.
The match remained 1-0 into the halftime break, with Valpo goalkeeper Salange Bell (Montclair, N.J./Montclair Kimberly Academy [Montclair State]) making three first-half saves to keep it a one-goal deficit.
Valpo outshot the hosts 9-6 in the second half and earned both of the corner kicks of the period, but was unable to find the back of the net.
With the Beacons pushing late looking for an equalizer, WMU’s Tessa Ferguson closed the scoring in the 84th minute.
Inside the Match
Sunday’s matchup was the first between the two programs since 2017.
Valpo was taking on a WMU team which won 16 matches a season ago and claimed MAC regular season and tournament titles. The Broncos were coming off a draw against #12 Colorado on Thursday.
WMU held a 14-10 advantage in shots and put seven efforts on goal to the Beacons’ two. Bell made five saves in net for Valpo.
Three Valpo field players played the full 90 minutes on Sunday, including Eve Miller (Slippery Rock, Pa./Slippery Rock Area), who went the distance for the first time in her collegiate career.
Thoughts From Coach Marovich
“Our group battled for the full 90 minutes in a place that Western Michigan hasn’t lost at in two years. It was a great battle with both sides competing on every pass. This match intensity is exactly the type of game our program loves and grows from.”
“The wind had an effect, but I felt like we did a really good job in our tactical plan in both halves and created challenges to WMU. When they adjusted to create more numbers centrally, we stayed true to our identity and adjusted to handle it. These are the games that are so valuable for our team’s development.”
“We had a real push in the second half — we got nine shots, with an Alyssa Thomas first-time volley on a set piece being the most dangerous opportunity. Our entire midfield battled in aerial duels and Lily Printz put in a shift today that was exactly what the team needed from her. I’m so proud of this group’s mentality and fight. It’s what makes working with them so rewarding.”
Next Up
Valpo (1-3-1) continues its three-match road swing Thursday afternoon at Purdue Fort Wayne at 3 p.m. CT.

VALPO FOOTBALL
Valparaiso University football redshirt senior Chris Gundy (Smithfield, Va. / Smithfield) was named the Pioneer Football League Special Teams Player of the Week on Sunday after taking two punts to the house in a season-opening, 59-13 rout of Lawrence Tech on Saturday afternoon at Brown Field.
Gundy helped Valpo tie an FCS record for team punt return touchdowns in a game with three. He became the first player in program history with multiple punt return touchdowns in a season, let alone a game. He totaled three punt returns for 108 yards in the victory, a single-game yardage accumulation that would have ranked fifth nationally in FCS for all of last season. His punt-return TDs went for 59 and 41 yards. He highlighted a stellar day for a Valpo special teams unit that also blocked two Lawrence Tech punts.
Gundy, who was a member of the Phil Steele Preseason All-PFL First Team as a return specialist this season, led the PFL in kick return average at 28.6 in 2025. He broke a 94-yard kickoff return touchdown on Oct. 18, 2025 at St. Thomas. The Beacons boasted multiple PFL Special Teams Player of the Week awards last season, most recently Nic Lendino on Nov. 16 after the victory over Stetson.

VALPO VOLLEYBALL
Following its season-opening championship at the Chattanooga Classic, the Valpo volleyball team had a trio of players named to the All-Tournament Team. Junior Jordyn Gove (Amarillo, Texas/Randall) was honored as the Tournament MVP, while fellow juniors Ava Helming (Johnston, Iowa/Johnston) and Maggie Uhwat (Spring Grove, Ill./Richmond Burton Community [Central Michigan]) joined her in receiving All-Tournament honors.
Gove earned Tournament MVP accolades after averaging 3.45 kills/set on .235 hitting and 2.55 digs/set while also committing just one serve reception error on 48 attempts. She posted double-doubles in each of the tournament’s first two matches, registering 10 kills and 12 digs in the win over UAB before exploding for a career-best 20 kills on .318 hitting to go with 12 digs in the victory over the hosts. Gove closed the tournament with a team-best eight kills on .350 hitting while playing just two sets in the sweep of Tennessee State. Over the course of the weekend, Gove surpassed both 500 career kills and 500 career digs.
Coming off of First Team All-MVC honors last season, Helming picked up right where she left off, averaging 3.55 kills/set on .255 hitting while also recording 10 blocks. She opened the weekend with a career-best 22 kills on .356 hitting and six blocks in the win over UAB, and followed later on Friday in the victory over the Mocs with 16 kills, five digs and four blocks.
In her first weekend of action as a Beacon, Uhwat earned All-Tournament honors as she averaged 2.45 kills/set and 1.45 digs/set. She opened the tournament by matching her career high in kills in each of the first two matches, posting 11 kills and six digs in the win over UAB and 11 kills, 10 digs and three service aces in the win over Chattanooga — the latter two marks both career bests as well as Uhwat registered her first collegiate double-double.
For Helming, this honor marks the fourth All-Tournament Team accolade of her career. Both Gove and Uhwat earned All-Tournament honors for the first time.

1902 – In Fort Wayne, IN, a Sunday crowd of 3,500 watch a match-up of Cleveland’s Addie Joss and Boston’s Cy Young. Boston pushes over two runs in the 11th to win, 3 – 1.
1903 – Joe McGinnity wins his third doubleheader this month, stopping the Phils twice, 4 – 1 and 9 – 2 and handing losses to Chick Fraser and Bill Duggleby. Iron Joe strikes out nine batters in the opener to win. The two games total three hours and three minutes,
1904 – In a rowdy 3 – 2, 11-inning Giants win in Cincinnati, the high point comes in the 6th when New York catcher Frank Bowerman slugs a fan, a music teacher named Albert Hartzell, who has been heckling him. Police escort the catcher from the field. Bowerman will be released from custody tomorrow when the fan drops the charges. The Giants win the second game as well, 4 – 1, in seven innings, with the game shortened to allow the Giants to catch a train for New York. The Giants leave Cincinnati with a 15-game lead over Chicago in the National League.
1906:
In the great tradition of his late brother Ed, Frank Delahanty of New York hits two home runs, a triple, and single, and knocks in seven runs in a 20 – 5 rout of Washington.
Beset by injuries, the Tigers call 46-year-old Sam Thompson out of retirement; he drives in two runs in a 5 – 1 win over the Browns. Thompson, who last played in the majors in 1898, appears in eight games and bats .226.
1909 – The A.J. Reach Company is granted a patent for its cork-centered baseball, which will replace the hard rubber-cored one. This change will be particularly apparent in the National League in 1910 and 1911.
1912 – The Red Sox run their record to 87-37 with a 2 – 1 win over the A’s. Following the game, Connie Mack says he never realized how strong the Sox were, and concedes the pennant to them. There are 30 games left for Boston.
1914 – Walter Johnson relieves in the 8th inning with his Senators holding a 3 – 2 lead over the White Sox. On the first pitch, Jack Fournier hits a home run to tie the game. Fournier’s next at bat up comes in the 10th and he homers again to give the Sox a 4 – 3 win. This is the first time Johnson has been reached for two home runs in a game by the same batter (Lou Gehrig will match it August 13, 1926).

1921 – In the Reds’ 7 – 3 win over the Braves, the two infields accept 28 chances, tying the major league record.

He had denied any ownership in two bucket-shop operations that had been found guilty of stock frauds; creditors of the two firms claimed he retained financial interests in both. Other National League owners are rumored to be forming a pool to buy him out, but Stoneham stays out of jail and in the NL.
1926:
Bill Sherdel and Allen Sothoron pitch the Cards back into first place with 6 – 1 and 2 – 1 wins over the Pirates.
White Sox IF Ray Morehart gets nine hits in ten at bats in a doubleheader, a record that has been matched but never broken.
1927 – The Yankees open a home stand by beating the Red Sox, 10 – 3. Babe Ruth hits home run number 43 and leads Lou Gehrig by two. With an 89-37 record, the Bronx Bombers now lead the second-place A’s by 17 games.
1930
At Ebbets Field, the Robins roll up a football-like score when they tally 23 hits, including round trippers by Babe Herman, Glenn Wright, and Rube Bressler, to stomp the Phils, 14 – 3.
With a chance to pick up a game and a half on the leading Cubs, the Giants edge the Braves, 4 – 3, in the opener a doubleheader before 40,000 fans at the Polo Grounds. In the second game, Mel Ott hits a double and three consecutive home runs to drive in six runs, but the Braves counter with a homer by George Sisler and two by slugging rookie Wally Berger among their 18 hits. Ott is the fourth major leaguer to hit three straight homers, joining Goose Goslin (August 19, 1930), Carl Reynolds (July 2, 1930), George Kelly (September 17, 1923), and Cap Anson (August 6, 1884).

Against the Senators’ Lloyd Brown, Lou Gehrig belts his second grand slam homer in three days, but the Senators hang onto second place by beating the Yankees, 6 – 5.

1942 – Larry MacPhail seeks insurance for the Dodger pennant run by buying Bobo Newsom from the Senators for $25,000. The purchase had been rumored for weeks. The veteran will respond by shutting out Cincinnati, 2 – 0 in three days.
1943 – Detroit’s Rudy York hits two home runs to bring his August home run total to 17, one less than his 1937 record for home runs in a single month, which he also set in August.
1945 – The Senators again muff a chance to go into first place, dropping a pair to the Yankees, 3 – 2 and 3 – 1. In between games, Nats pitcher Bert Shepard receives the Distinguished Flying Cross for his service in World War II. Shepard lost his leg in battle.

The Cubs overcome Ralph Kiner’s 39th homer of the season to defeat the Pirates, 6 – 3, in Chicago. Doyle Lade goes the distance. Kiner’s homer, with one aboard, gives him 101 RBIs for the year.
1948:
The Red Sox keep their precarious hold on first place with an 8 – 4 win over the Tigers. Mel Parnell is the complete game winner. Ted Williams has two hits, scores two runs and steals a base.
At Yankee Stadium, the Yanks score four runs in the 8th but the Browns come back with five in the 9th off Joe Page to make it close. But New York prevails, 10 – 9. 1B Tommy Henrich has a home run and an unassisted double play to help Allie Reynolds to the win. The Yanks remain a game behind the Red Sox.
Before 45,531 at Wrigley Field, the last-place Cubs beat the first-place Dodgers, 3 – 0 and 7 – 2. Hank Borowy stops Brooklyn on one hit in the opener – a single by Gene Hermanski – and faces just 27 batters. He hurls 100 pitches, while Bob Scheffing drives in all three runs. Doyle Lade wins the nitecap. The loss slices Brooklyn’s lead to two points over the Braves, 3 – 1 winners at Cincinnati, while the Cards and Pirates move just two games back.
1950 – Gil Hodges becomes the fourth major leaguer in the century to hit four home runs in one game as Brooklyn routs the Braves, 19 – 3. The Dodger first baseman also ties the major league record for total bases with 17.

1956 – President Dwight D. Eisenhower is in attendance as Jim Lemon of the Senators slugs three consecutive home runs in a night game against the Yankees, but New York still wins, 6 – 4.
1957 – Steve Dalkowski, legendary minor league fastballer pitching for Kingsport (Appalachian League), strikes out 24, walks 18, hits four batters, and throws six wild pitches in a row. He loses, 9 – 8.
1959 – Sandy Koufax fans 18 Giants to set a National League mark in a 5 – 2 Dodger win. The game is witnessed by a crowd of 82,974 spectators (60,194 of whom have paid admission), the largest ever for a regular-season game.
1960 – The Pirates come from behind yet again, trumping the Giants, 7 – 4. Roberto Clemente hits a two-out, two-run homer and Roy Face closes the game. For the Giants, Willie Mays does his best with a single, double and near-homer his first time up, but falls victim to Face in his final at-bat, a 7th-inning strikeout, representing the tying run at the plate.
1963 – Trailing Houston, 5 – 1, entering the 9th, Chicago’s Ellis Burton clouts a dramatic two-out grand slam off Hal Woodeshick to give the Cubs a 6 – 5 victory.
1964 – Ground is broken for Anaheim Stadium, future home of next year’s California Angels.

1966 – Yankees 2B Bobby Richardson, 31, announces his retirement, effective at the end of the season.
1968:
Steve Blass gets the first out against the Braves, and then moves to LF as Roy Face relieves.

Blass will not get credit for the shutout but will still lead the National League in shutouts with 7. Late in the game, the Pirates announce the sale of Face to the Detroit Tigers.
It is a tough month for Mets P Jim McAndrew, as he takes his National League-tying fifth shutout loss. Steve Carlton wins for the Cards, 2 – 0. McAndrew gave up just six runs in the four losses, losing 2 – 0 to Bob Gibson on July 21st, and to the Dodgers and Mike Kekich, 2 – 0, on August 4th. On August 10th and 17th, he narrowed the margin to 1 – 0 losses, to the Giants and Houston respectively. Those first four losses were McAndrew’s first major league decisions.

2008:
CC Sabathia improves to 9-0 with a 1.43 ERA since joining the Brewers, with a one-hitter against the Pirates. The lone hit is a grounder back to the mound by Andy LaRoche which Sabathia bobbles. Brewer manager Ned Yost and LF Ryan Braun both say it was undoubtedly an error and that Sabathia had a no-hitter; an appeal is filed over the ruling, to no avail. Milwaukee wins, 7 – 0; it is Pittsburgh’s tenth loss in a row.
Trying to hold on to their lead in the NL West, the Diamondbacks acquire 2006 World Series MVP David Eckstein from the Blue Jays for Chad Beck.
2009:
Andy Pettitte of the Yankees retires the first 20 Baltimore batters he faces before an error and a hit spoil his bid for immortality. New York wins easily, 5 – 1.

The Texas Rangers acquire OF Jeff Francoeur from the Mets for IF Joaquin Arias. Hitting .236 with 11 homers and 53 RBI, Francoeur has been made redundant by the return to health of Carlos Beltran.
2011:
It’s a day of milestones for the Braves. 39-year-old 3B Chipper Jones hits the 450th homer of his career, off Nationals starter John Lannan in the 2nd inning, then P Derek Lowe, only a year younger than Jones at 38, launches his first in the 3rd inning as Atlanta wins, 3 – 1. Craig Kimbrel picks up the save, his 41st of the season, for a new rookie record.
The biblical plague of midges is back in Cleveland. Four years after famously disrupting a postseason game in 2007, the pesky insects show up during today’s 16-inning context between the Indians and Athletics, which the Tribe wins, 4 – 3, on Jack Hannahan’s single. Oakland pitchers Rich Harden and Grant Balfour have an especially difficult time with the tiny winged pests who show up uninvited in the 7th inning.
The Cardinals hand the Brewers a rare defeat at Miller Park, 8 – 3, thanks to a grand slam by pitcher Jake Westbrook in the 4th. Brewers LF Ryan Braun has a couple of embarrassing moments, being caught stealing third base to end the 1st inning, then takes a spectacular tumble in the 3rd when trying to turn a triple into his first career inside-the-park home run, ending up caught in no man’s land between third base and home for an easy out.
Clubs headed for the postseason tweak their rosters on the last day when they can add players and still have them be eligible for postseason play. The Giants, who are falling ever further behind the red-hot Diamondbacks, designate veterans Aaron Rowand and Miguel Tejada for assignment, eating about $15 million in salary in the process; they use the freed-up spots to activate OF Pat Burrell from the disabled list and call up IF Brett Pill from the minor leagues in a bid to wake up their slumbering offense. For their part the Rangers repatriate C Matt Treanor from Kansas City and bring in P Mike Gonzalez from Baltimore, and the Red Sox bring in OF/1B Conor Jackson from Oakland as they receive news that the injured J.D. Drew may be done for the season. The Braves also repatriate a former player in OF Matt Diaz, brought back from the Pirates.
2012:
A pair of National League pitchers pick up their 17th wins of the year with shutouts. The Nationals’ Gio Gonzalez throws his first career whitewash in defeating the Cardinals, 10 – 0; Adam Wainwright is the loser after going 5-0 in his previous August starts. In Miami, it is R.A. Dickey of the Mets who wins his 17th with a 3 – 0 shutout. The two pitchers catch up with Cincinnati’s Johnny Cueto for the major league lead in wins.
Rookie Miguel Gonzalez holds the Yankees to four hits over six innings as the Orioles win, 6 – 1, and move within two games of the AL East leaders. Mark Reynolds hits two homers for Baltimore.
2013:
The Pirates pull off a second big trade in a week, acquiring 1B Justin Morneau from Minnesota for OF Alex Presley. They then go out and defeat the Cardinals, 7 – 1, to retake the lead in the NL Central. A.J. Burnett is the winner, Russell Martin hits a three-run homer and Neil Walker has three hits; Morneau rushes over to join his new team from Texas, and arrives in mid-game, but is not required.
Ivan Nova throws a complete game three-hit shutout to defeat the Orioles, 2 – 0, and puts the Yankees past the Birds in the Wild Card race. Scott Feldman allows only a 1st-inning run in seven innings, but is the unlucky loser as Robinson Cano drives in both runs with a double and a solo homer.
An International League contest between the Toledo Mud Hens and Columbus Clippers ends on an unusual play. With Toledo leading, 4 – 1, Columbus has runners on first and third with nobody out in the 9th. Ryan Rohlinger hits a shallow fly ball to LF Gustavo Nunez; Jeremy Hermida decides to tag up and tries to score from third base, but even though Nunez’s throw is wild, C Bryan Holaday makes a tremendous leaping tag for the second out. Holaday then sees that Chun-Hsiu Chen is heading towards second and fires the ball to 2B Danny Worth. Chen retreats to first, and even though Worth bobbles the throw, he manages to recover and throw to 1B Jordan Lennerton who tags Chen to complete a game-ending 7-2-4-3 triple play.
2014:
The Angels trounce the Athletics, 8 – 1, to complete a four-game sweep that increases Los Angeles’s lead in the AL West to five games. Mike Trout hits a homer and drives in three runs and Chris Iannetta has a homer among his three hits to back up rookie Matt Shoemaker’s 14th win of the year.

2015 – On the last day on which trades can be made and the players involved still be eligible for postseason play, a number of deals get done. The Cubs acquire CF Austin Jackson from Seattle for a player to be named later, the Dodgers receive OF Justin Ruggiano, also from Seattle for a player to be named, the Giants get OF Alejandro De Aza from the Red Sox for minor leaguer Luis Ysla and the Royals get Jonny Gomes from Atlanta for SS Luis Valenzuela.
2017:
In a flurry of deals to beat the September 1 deadline for postseason eligibility, the Tigers trade All-Star OF Justin Upton to the Angels in return for Grayson Long and a player to be named later, and then send ace P Justin Verlander to Houston for three prospects. Verlander’s acquisition will be key for the Astros when they win the first World Series title in franchise history in October. Houston also claims OF Cameron Maybin off waivers from the Angels, while the Halos add 2B Brandon Phillips, acquired from Atlanta for Tony Sanchez. Finally, the Rangers get P Miguel Gonzalez from the White Sox.
The Fargo-Moorhead RedHawks pull off a rare feat by turning two triple plays in a 3 – 2 win over the Lincoln Saltdogs. They are the first team to do this in the history of the American Association and both triple killings go from 3B Josh Mazzola to 2B Brandon Tierney to 1B Trever Adams, in the 1st and 5th innings.
2018:
A number of big names change teams on the final day to be eligible for the postseason. The Yankees acquire OF Andrew McCutchen from the Giants and SS Adeiny Hechavarria from Pittsburgh; the Dodgers acquire a couple of veterans with World Series experience in RP Ryan Madson and 3B/1B David Freese; the Indians bet that currently injured 3B Josh Donaldson will be healthy enough to contribute in the postseason by getting him from the Blue Jays; and the Brewers add three players in P Gio Gonzalez, OF Curtis Granderson and P Xavier Cedeno.
Japan wins its sixth straight Women’s Baseball World Cup. In the finale of the 2018 Women’s Baseball World Cup, Ayami Sato (MVP for the third straight time) and Akino Tanaka blank Taiwan on six hits in a 6 – 0 win.

In the Bronze Medal Game, Canada needs three extra innings to outlast the host USA, 8 – 5. Daphnée Gélinas hits a three-run homer and later singles in the go-ahead run in their winning rally. Allison Schroder picks up the win in relief of Amanda Asay. In a losing cause, Jade Gortarez scores twice.
The Indonesian national team gets its first Asian Games win ever.

Andika Arlistianto gets the win in relief of Hadi Nur Muhammad while Chindy Patria Yudharana gets the save. Andospa Aldo Saputra gets three hits and Adi Susanto has two runs and two RBI. For Thailand’s comeback bid, Suratit Faengsup drives in four and Phoomwut Wutthikorn scores three.
2019:

In Sweden, the Sölvesborg Firehawks win their second Elitserien title, sweeping the finals from the Rättvik Butchers in the best-of-three finals, with both games being played today.

Heorhii Hvrytishvili has four hits and five RBI.

Sharlon Schoop draws a bases-loaded walk to force in Delano Selassa with the winner.
2020:
The Padres, who were already the most active team on the transactions front coming into today’s trade deadline, pull off the biggest blockbuster of the day as they acquire P Mike Clevinger from Cleveland in a nine-player trade. They also get OF Greg Allen and a player to be named later while giving up three current major leaguers in 1B/OF Josh Naylor, P Cal Quantrill and C Austin Hedges, and three of their top twelve prospects in SS Gabriel Arias, IF Owen Miller and P Joey Cantillo.

There are so many players to be named because teams can only trade players in their 60-player pool at this time, and the names of any lower-level prospects can only be revealed after the season.
2022 – Shohei Ohtani adds another item to his ever-growing list of achievements when he homers off Gerrit Cole of the Yankees in the 6th inning of the Angels’ 3 – 2 win.

Acuña also becomes a member of the 30-30 club for the second time, while Mookie Betts homers twice in a losing cause, including the 250th of his career.
2024:
The Dodgers open their game against the Diamondbacks with three consecutive homers off Merrill Kelly, by Shohei Ohtani, Mookie Betts and Freddie Freeman, the first time in their history they have opened a game with three consecutive long balls. The action is far from over, however, as Corbin Carroll opens the bottom of the inning by hitting a ball that CF Kevin Kiermaier is unable to corral and that ends up as an inside-the-park homer. The D-Backs add three more runs in the frame to take a 4 – 3 lead. The game is not decided until the 9th inning, however, when Tommy Edman hits a two-run single to give L.A. an 8 – 6 win.
Parma wins its first Italian Series in 14 years, taking 4 of 5 games in the 2024 Italian Series from ASD San Marino. Matteo Bocchi and Claudio Scotti combine on a one-hitter in the finale today, while former major leaguer Alex Liddi scores two and drives two in locking up Series MVP honors.
2025:
By hitting his 43rd homer of the year in the Yankees’ 3 – 2 loss to the White Sox, Aaron Judge is now tied with Yogi Berra with 358 career homers, fifth on the team’s all-time list. What is remarkable is that this top five, consisting of Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Lou Gehrig and Joe DiMaggio, in addition to Berra, had been unchanged since the 1960s.
Neptunus evens the 2025 Holland Series at one game apiece as Shairon Martis allows one run in nine in a 4-1 victory over HCAW. Drew Janssen smacks a two-run homer in the 5th.
