NFL ROUNDUP: RAVENS NEED OT TO OUTLAST BENGALS IN SHOOTOUT
Lamar Jackson threw four touchdown passes and led a comeback from a 10-point, fourth-quarter deficit on Sunday as the visiting Baltimore Ravens rallied for a 41-38 overtime win over the Cincinnati Bengals.
Derrick Henry’s 51-yard run in the extra session set up Justin Tucker’s game-winning 24-yard field goal with 3:33 left for the Ravens (3-2).

Joe Burrow threw a career-high five touchdown passes and Ja’Marr Chase had 10 catches for 193 yards and two scores for the Bengals (1-4), who couldn’t protect three different 10-point leads.
Henry was held to 41 yards on 14 carries before the 51-yard run. He scored from 1 yard out with 8:54 left in the first quarter for his 100th career touchdown from scrimmage, giving the Ravens an early 7-0 lead. Henry would cross off another milestone in the second quarter when he surpassed the 10,000-yard rushing plateau for his career.
Jaguars 37, Colts 34
Cam Little booted a 49-yard field goal with 17 seconds left and Jacksonville picked up its first victory of the season by dispatching visiting Indianapolis.

Dolphins 15, Patriots 10
Alec Ingold rushed for a go-ahead 3-yard touchdown with 4:24 remaining to lift Miami over New England in Foxborough, Mass.
Jaylen Wright racked up 86 yards on 13 carries for the Dolphins (2-3), who totaled 193 rushing yards as a team. Wright took on a larger role in the backfield after Miami lost De’Von Achane to a concussion in the first quarter.

Broncos 34, Raiders 18

The Cardinals shut out the 49ers (2-3) in the second half. San Francisco’s Brandon Aiyuk led all receivers with 147 yards on eight receptions, while Brock Purdy went 19-of-35 passing for 244 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions.

Dak Prescott threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Jalen Tolbert with 20 seconds remaining and the Dallas Cowboys slipped past the Pittsburgh Steelers 20-17 early Monday.

Pittsburgh (3-2) dropped its second consecutive game following a 3-0 start, this one a sluggish performance on a night the opening kickoff was delayed nearly 90 minutes due to severe weather. The game ended at 12:59 a.m.
COLLEGE FOOTBALL NEWS
AP TOP 25: TEXAS RETURNS TO NO. 1, ALABAMA DROPS TO NO. 7 AFTER UPSETS FORCE RESHUFFLING OF RANKINGS
It was a week of upheaval in The Associated Press college football poll, with Texas returning to No. 1 on Sunday after a one-week absence following Vanderbilt’s monumental upset of Alabama.
The Commodores’ win as more than three-touchdown underdogs caused the Crimson Tide to drop from No. 1 to No. 7. The last top-ranked team to fall so far was Ohio State, which plunged to No. 11 in 2010 following an October loss to Wisconsin.
Texas, which had an open date, received 52 out of 61 first-place votes and became the first team in two years to bounce in and out of the top spot in a span of three polls. The Longhorns also were just the third team since 2008 to be voted No. 1 after not playing the day before.
Ohio State beat Iowa for its fourth straight easy win, received nine first-place votes and moved up a spot to No. 2.
Oregon and Penn State each rose three spots, with the Ducks up to No. 3 and the Nittany Lions fourth. Georgia remained No. 5.
Miami, which came back from a 25-point second-half deficit to beat California 39-38, rose two spots to No. 6.
The mayhem wasn’t limited to Alabama.
Six of the 18 AP Top 25 teams that played lost to unranked opponents (33%), the highest mark since six of 16 (38%) lost the first week of October 2020.
The Tide were among four teams in the top 11 to lose to unranked opponents — the first time that’s happened since Nov. 12, 2016, when five teams did it, according to Sportradar.
Tennessee lost to Arkansas and went from No. 4 to No. 8. Michigan lost at Washington and went from No. 10 to No. 24. Southern California lost at Minnesota and went from No. 11 to out of the Top 25. The Trojans were first among teams also receiving votes.
Texas A&M soundly beat Missouri at home in the only Top 25 matchup. That earned the Aggies a promotion from a tie for No. 25 to No. 15 and the Tigers a demotion from No. 9 to No. 21.
Poll points
The Big Ten dominates the top five, but the Southeastern Conference maintains its grip on the top 10. No. 2 Ohio State, No. 3 Oregon and No. 4 Penn State are bookended by the SEC’s Texas and Georgia. The SEC also has Alabama, Tennessee and Mississippi in the top 10.
Double-digit drops by Missouri, Michigan and USC mark the first time since Nov. 13, 2016, that three teams fell 10 or more spots in the same poll. That week it happened to Auburn (8 to 18), Texas A&M (10 to 23) and North Carolina (15 to receiving votes).
The biggest upward movers were Texas A&M (25 to 15), Clemson (15 to 10) and Iowa State (16 to 11).
In-and-out
SMU (5-1) was rewarded for knocking off Louisville on the road and enters the rankings at No. 25. The Mustangs have appeared in the Top 25 all but one season (2022) since 2019. Louisville (3-2) has lost two of three and dropped out.
Pittsburgh won at North Carolina to start 5-0 for the first time since 1991 and enters the rankings at No. 22 for its first appearance in two years.
USC (3-2) has lost two of its first three Big Ten games and is out, as is UNLV, whose first-ever Top 25 appearance was spoiled by an overtime home loss to Syracuse.
Conference call
SEC — 9 (Nos. 1, 5, 7, 8, 9, 13, 15, T-18, 21).
Big Ten — 6 (Nos. 2, 3, 4, T-18, 23, 24).
Big 12 — 4 (Nos. T-11, 14, 16, T-18).
ACC — 4 (Nos. 6, 10, 22, 25).
Mountain West — 1 (No. 17).
Independent — 1 (No. 11).
Ranked vs. Ranked
— No. 1 Texas vs. No. 18 Oklahoma, at Dallas. It’s their first head-to-head SEC meeting, and it’s a Top 25 matchup for the sixth time in eight games. Sooners scored with 15 seconds left last year to hand Texas its only regular-season loss. Both teams are coming off open dates.
— No. 2 Ohio State at No. 3 Oregon. Entering the season, this was billed as a midseason preview of the Big Ten championship game. It still could be. The Buckeyes have won nine of 10 previous meetings, the only loss coming in the most recent one (2021).
— No. 9 Mississippi at No. 13 LSU. Huge College Football Playoff implications here. Rebels’ Jaxson Dart prevailed 55-49 last year in a dizzying matchup with Heisman winner Jayden Daniels.
BASEBALL PLAYOFFS
FERNANDO TATIS JR. HITS 2 HOMERS AS PADRES CRUSH DODGERS TO EVEN SERIES
LOS ANGELES — Fernando Tatis Jr. hit two home runs as the visiting San Diego Padres went deep six times and evened the National League Division Series with a 10-2 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 2 on Sunday.
Tatis hit home runs in the first and ninth innings, while former Dodger David Peralta hit one in the second. Jackson Merrill and Xander Bogaerts hit back-to-back blasts in the eighth, while Kyle Higashioka also hit one in the ninth.
Right-hander Yu Darvish (1-0) gave up one run on three hits with two walks and three strikeouts over seven innings as the Padres head home for Game 3 on Tuesday.
Shohei Ohtani went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts for the Dodgers, who had five hits and lost for the seventh time in eight playoff games over the past three seasons, including an NLDS defeat to the Padres in 2022. The top three spots in the Dodgers’ order combined to go 0-for-12.
Dodgers right-hander Jack Flaherty (0-1) gave up four runs on five hits over 5 1/3 innings. He struck out two and walked one.
Tatis gave San Diego a 1-0 lead in the first inning with a home run to left field. The Padres made it 3-0 in the second on Peralta’s first career playoff home run.
Padres left-fielder Jurickson Profar robbed Mookie Betts of a home run in the first inning, reaching into the crowd in the left field corner to make the catch. The Dodgers loaded the bases in the second inning with nobody out, but scored just once on a sacrifice fly from Gavin Lux.
The San Diego defense was at it again in the fourth. Tatis made a leaping catch while on the run in right-center on a drive from Freddie Freeman and Luis Arraez corralled Max Muncy’s hard-hit one-hopper.
Freeman departed after five innings with right ankle discomfort.
After tempers flared on both sides in the sixth inning when Flaherty hit Tatis with a pitch, the Padres took a 4-1 lead on an RBI single from Merrill.
Multiple baseballs were thrown on the field before the bottom of the seventh, causing a delay and stoking the ire of Profar. Merrill and Bogaerts then sealed the win, hitting consecutive homers in the eighth for a 7-1 lead.
Higashioka hit his third homer of the postseason in the ninth and Tatis hit his second of the game two batters later.
Muncy hit a home run for the Dodgers in the ninth.
NICK CASTELLANOS HELPS PHILLIES BEAT METS IN WILD GAME 2
PHILADELPHIA — Nick Castellanos singled home the decisive run in the bottom of the ninth, lifting the Philadelphia Phillies over the New York Mets 7-6 in Game 2 of their National League Division Series.
Castellanos, 3-for-5 with a homer in the game, lined a 1-2 offering from reliever Tylor Megill (0-1) into left, scoring Trea Turner.
Turner and Bryce Harper walked with two outs, setting the stage for Castellanos and enabling the Phillies to tie the best-of-five series at one game apiece. The next two games will be played Tuesday and Wednesday in New York.
The Mets forged a 6-6 tie on Mark Vientos’ two-run homer in the top of the ninth, Vientos’ second homer of the game.
The Mets hit four homers in all, while back-to-back blasts in the sixth by Harper and Castellanos enabled the Phillies to erase a 3-0 deficit. Harper’s homer was a two-run shot.
Brandon Nimmo then hit a solo shot for the Mets in the seventh, putting them back in front, 4-3.
But Harper drew a one-out walk from Mets reliever Edwin Diaz in the bottom of that inning, then advanced to third on a single by Castellanos. Bryson Stott tripled home both runners.
Stott scored on J.T. Realmuto’s fielder’s choice, making it 6-4.
Nimmo homered off Philadelphia reliever Orion Kerkering in the seventh to give the Mets that 4-3 lead.
Vientos and Pete Alonso hit respective homers in the third and sixth for New York, both opposite-field shots by the right-handed sluggers off Philadelphia starter Cristopher Sanchez. Vientos’ shot came after a single by Francisco Lindor, and Alonso led off the sixth with his blast.
Severino carried that 3-0 lead into the sixth, but Trea Turner singled with two outs. Harper followed by launching Severino’s 2-2 pitch — a 99 mph fastball — over the fence in center field, a 431-foot shot that awakened the sellout crowd and the Phils’ struggling offense.
Castellanos followed with a homer to left to tie it.
Sanchez went five innings and allowed two runs on five hits. He struck out five and walked one.
Jeff Hoffman (1-1) recorded one out for the victory.
The Phillies used their running game to advance runners to third twice in the first three innings. Turner singled and stole second and third in the first, and Johan Rojas singled and moved up on an error and steal in the third. But on both occasions Severino escaped unscathed.
WNBA PLAYOFFS
SUN FORCE GAME 5 BY RALLYING PAST LYNX
Tyasha Harris’ 20 points led five players in double figures Sunday as the Connecticut Sun rallied in the second half to force a decisive fifth game in their WNBA semifinal series with the Minnesota Lynx, earning a 92-82 win in Uncasville, Conn.
The winner of Tuesday night’s contest in Minneapolis will advance to the WNBA Finals against top-seeded New York. The Liberty closed out two-time champion Las Vegas 76-62 to win their best-of-five series 3-1 earlier in the day.
Connecticut tied this series at 2-2 by shutting down Minnesota’s potent offense in the second half. The Lynx missed their first 10 3-point attempts after hitting nine in the first half. And the Sun controlled the lane, earning a 50-30 advantage in paint points.
DeWanna Bonner and Alyssa Thomas each added 18 points for Connecticut, with Thomas chipping in 11 assists and eight rebounds. DiJonai Carrington scored 15 points and Marina Mabrey came off the bench to tally 10.
Napheesa Collier put up game highs of 29 points and 13 rebounds for Minnesota, while Natisha Hiedeman came off the bench to add 16 points. Courtney Williams contributed 11.
Connecticut outscored the Lynx 24-19 in the fourth quarter, leading by as many as 15 points down the stretch. It hit 53.7 percent of its field goal attempts.
Looking to close out the series, Minnesota got off to a good start behind Collier. She scored nine points in a span of about 4 1/2 minutes as the Lynx established a 22-12 lead before settling for a 22-15 advantage after one quarter.
Minnesota kept converting in the second quarter, restoring 10-point margins on three different occasions. When Connecticut got within four points, Hiedeman quieted the crowd by swishing a running 30-footer from the left wing as time expired for a 50-43 halftime cushion.
The Sun made their move in the third quarter. They took the lead for good with 2:40 left when Bonner turned Carrington’s pass into an alley-oop layup, and Thomas drove for a layup with 1.2 seconds remaining for a 68-63 lead going to the fourth period.
LIBERTY TOPPLE ACES IN GAME 4 TO CLINCH RETURN TO WNBA FINALS
Sabrina Ionescu scored 22 points, Breanna Stewart recorded a double-double and the New York Liberty used an explosive fourth quarter to end the host Las Vegas Aces’ bid for a three-peat and return to the WNBA Finals with a 76-62 win on Sunday.
Top-seeded New York won the semifinal series 3-1 and will face either the second-seeded Minnesota Lynx or the third-seeded Connecticut Sun in the best-of-five championship series, which begins Thursday. The Liberty have never won a championship and lost last year’s final to Las Vegas in four games.
Ionescu added seven rebounds and made five 3-pointers, including one during a 12-0 run during the fourth quarter that pushed Liberty ahead 69-53 with 3:38 left. Stewart bundled 19 points with 14 rebounds, five assists and four blocks.
League MVP A’ja Wilson had 19 points and 10 rebounds to lead the fourth-seeded Aces. Las Vegas was trying to become the first WNBA team to win three straight titles since the Houston Comets won four in a row from 1997-2000.
Kelsey Plum added 17 points for the Aces, and Tiffany Hayes chipped in 11 off the bench.
New York limited Las Vegas to 32.8 percent shooting and outrebounded the hosts 48-27.
The Liberty led 57-53 early in the fourth quarter before ripping off 12 straight points to put the game out of reach.
Courtney Vandersloot made two layups before Ionescu and Jonquel Jones (14 points) canned back-to-back triples to make it 67-53 midway through the quarter. Leonie Fiebich’s free throws capped the run and gave New York a 16-point cushion. Fiebich finished with 11 points and seven boards.
The Aces shot just 4-of-17 in the final quarter and were outscored 23-11 over the final 10 minutes.
Ionescu shot 4-for-4 and made three treys during her 12-point first quarter that ended with New York leading 23-19.
The Liberty went up 37-27 midway through the second quarter after Fiebich made a 3-pointer and Stewart split two free throws. Stewart led all first-half scorers with 15 points, but Las Vegas kept Ionescu scoreless in the second quarter and closed within 41-38 by halftime.
Both defenses clamped down as the teams combined for 25 points in a back-and-forth third quarter.
Ionescu’s fourth 3-pointer propelled New York ahead 49-42 before Tiffany Hayes’ free throws pulled Las Vegas within 53-51 at the end of the frame. That margin stood after Jackie Young’s 55-foot heave for the Aces at the buzzer was overturned.

KEVIN YU WINS SANDERSON IN PLAYOFF FOR MAIDEN TOUR TITLE
Kevin Yu of Taiwan birdied the first playoff hole to defeat Beau Hossler and win his first title on the PGA Tour at the Sanderson Farms Championship on Sunday in Jackson, Miss.
Yu shot a 5-under-par 67 to match Hossler (68) at 23-under 265. They returned to the tee at the par-4 18th hole at the Country Club of Jackson, and Yu found the fairway while Hossler’s drive missed far left.
Yu planted his second shot 6 feet from the hole, and Hossler’s second shot landed in a greenside bunker. However, he hit a beautiful recovery shot that sat down 3 feet from the cup, applying some pressure on Yu to make his birdie or else continue the playoff.
But Yu’s birdie putt was true, and he pumped both his fists above his head in celebration.
Yu made six birdies and one bogey in the fourth round, including a 15-foot birdie at No. 18 to post the clubhouse lead at 23 under.
Hossler played with third-round leader Keith Mitchell in the final pairing and both were 23 under when they came to the 18th tee.
Mitchell had a 34 1/2-foot birdie putt to win the tournament in regulation, but after that missed, his 4-foot comebacker slipped to the left of the hole, and he missed the playoff, settling for a 2-under 70.
Hossler also missed left of the fairway when playing the 18th in regulation, but after punching out into the fairway, he stuck his third shot inside 4 feet of the pin and saved par to force the playoff with Yu.
Lucas Glover (66) tied with Mitchell for third at 22 under. Alex Smalley fired the round of the day, a 9-under 63, to tie Bud Cauley (67) for fifth at 21 under.

RICKY STENHOUSE JR. WINS SQUEAKER AT TALLADEGA AFTER MASSIVE CRASH
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. edged out Brad Keselowksi in NASCAR overtime at Talladega Superspeedway, winning the Cup Series’ YellaWood 500 in a photo finish Sunday in Lincoln, Ala.
Following a lengthy red-flag period, Stenhouse led Keselowski on the restart, but Keselowski pulled ahead in Turn 3 on the final lap.
However, William Byron’s hard push gave Stenhouse the momentum he needed in his No. 47 JTG Daugherty Racing car to beat Keselowski by 0.006 of a second for his fourth career win and first since the 2023 Daytona 500.
Byron’s third-place finish advanced him to the Round of 8. Kyle Larson and Erik Jones rounded out the top five.
After manufacturer-oriented pit stops with 20 laps left, Austin Cindric and Stenhouse topped the field, but the Big One happened on Lap 184 for the fourth caution and a red-flag condition.
Race leader Cindric, who opened the day in last among the dozen title pursuers, was shoved by Keselowski’s Ford, which had been tapped by Joey Logano in a chain reaction of multiple cars bumping to trigger the backstretch chaos.
The 28-car accident, the largest ever at Talladega in Cup history, also involved championship hopefuls Chase Elliott, Chase Briscoe, Alex Bowman, Tyler Reddick and Daniel Suarez.
Reigning series champ Ryan Blaney wrecked at the end of Stage 2 and finished 39th, saddled with his seventh DNF of 2024.
In the second race of the postseason Round of 12, Suarez was lapped early and quickly lost positions in the draft. The No. 99 driver tried to squeeze into the high lane, was clipped by the No. 78 of BJ McLeod and spun untouched on the backstretch.
With 10 circuits left on the 2.66-mile superspeedway in 60-lap Stage 1, Chris Buescher’s No. 17 Ford found the front and edged Stenhouse, Byron and Larson for the top bonus points as the field kept the racing clean.
As Cindric’s No. 2 Team Penske Ford won the 10 bonus points in Stage 2, a significant development occurred with his two teammates, Blaney and Logano, on Lap 122.
After being nudged by Bowman, Blaney’s No. 12 bounced off Shane van Gisbergen on the inside, angled right and headed nose-first into the frontstretch wall in a hard crash.
Blaney’s wreck was terminal and collected Chastain, whose No. 1 Chevrolet caught fire in Turn 1. Logano, Denny Hamlin and Reddick were also hit with damage.

LAWRENCE COMES UP BIG ON HIS BIRTHDAY AND LEADS THE JAGS TO THEIR 1ST WIN, 37-34 OVER THE COLTS
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — No longer winless, the Jacksonville Jaguars can now start working on not being defenseless.
Trevor Lawrence threw for 371 yards and two touchdowns on his 25th birthday and put Jacksonville in position for Cam Little’s 49-yard field goal with 17 seconds left that gave the Jaguars their first victory of the season, 37-34 over the short-handed Indianapolis Colts on Sunday.
Tank Bigsby ran for 101 yards and two scores for Jacksonville (1-4), which won for the first time since December and extended its home streak against division rival Indianapolis (2-3) to double digits.
“I kind of know we don’t lose to them, so I’m like, ‘Good timing, good timing,’” Jags defensive end Josh Hines-Allen said.
Jacksonville won its 10th consecutive home game in the series while wearing throwback uniforms on a day the franchise inducted retired coach Tom Coughlin into its ring of honor. It was a fitting tribute to the man who built an expansion team into a contender.
But another late-game collapse left the Jaguars looking for more answers. The Colts scored 24 points in the fourth quarter despite playing without quarterback Anthony Richardson, running back Jonathan Taylor and center Ryan Kelly. They racked up 447 yards and converted 7 of 14 third downs, providing more headaches for new defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen.
Joe Flacco, a 39-year-old veteran who beat Jacksonville in Cleveland last season, completed 33 of 44 passes for 359 yards and three touchdowns. He directed 42- and 45-second scoring drives to rally the Colts from a 14-point deficit late.
Flacco had one final chance, but Travon Walker ended the game with his third sack.
“Obviously, it’s one of those games that ends up being kind of like you want the ball last,” Flacco said. “This is the NFL. You’re going to play games like this, and you got to be able to dig deep and try to find a way to win.”
The Colts haven’t won in Jacksonville since 2014, a losing streak that clearly has the team’s attention.
“I don’t have a great answer for you. I’ve been here two years,” coach Shane Steichen said. “I know some of the guys in the locker room have been around it, but we got to get that fixed for sure going forward.”
Lawrence ended his nine-game skid as a starter. He completed 28 of 34 passes, although he did throw his first interception of the season. He connected with rookie Brian Thomas for an 85-yard touchdown in the second quarter and with Christian Kirk for 61 yards that set up another TD pass.
Thomas finished with five receptions for 122 yards.
Lawrence, Thomas and Bigsby were the catalysts for a team that was seemingly on the verge of unraveling. Lawrence and receiver Gabe Davis got into a sideline argument in the first quarter and had to be separated. That followed a mid-week report that said coach Doug Pederson had lost the locker room.
Pederson and his players denied any discord and certainly will point to beating Indy as a potential turning point.
“There was some frustration. We had a little back and forth and cleared it up. That’s all it is. I love when stuff like that happens. You confront issues. … Let’s talk about it and move on. We did a great job of that.”
Coughlin gets a teal jacket
The first coach in Jaguars history who was twice fired by the franchise was inducted into the Pride of the Jaguars at halftime. Coughlin donned a teal jacket as his name was unveiled inside the stadium.
Coughlin helped build the Jaguars from the ground up between 1995 and 2002. He led the expansion team to the AFC title game in 1996 and 1999.
Coughlin was joined on stage by fellow Pride members Tony Boselli, Fred Taylor and Jimmy Smith.
“I’m humbled. I’m very proud,” Coughlin said. “For me, it’s never about the individual. It’s always about the team. And I really regret the fact that I could never just stand there for lack of time and read the first staff and the supporters and so on and so forth. I think you’d get a kick out of it.”
Key injuries
Colts: Right guard Will Fries broke his right leg in the third quarter and was carted off the field with his leg in an air cast. Steichen said Fries will remain overnight in Jacksonville for surgery.
Jaguars: Returner Devin Duvernay left with a hamstring injury. Safety Antonio Johnson dealt with cramping issues.
Up next
The Colts play at Tennessee next Sunday.
The Jaguars travel to London for the first of back-to-back overseas games against Chicago and New England.
INDIANA VOLLEYBALL
HOOSIERS REMAIN UNDEFEATED AT HOME
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Night in and night out, the Big Ten offers some of the nation’s toughest challenges. That was the case on Sunday (Oct. 6) afternoon at Wilkinson Hall as the Indiana Volleyball team (9-5, 2-2 B1G) outlasted visiting Ohio State 3-1 (25-15, 25-23, 23-25, 25-22).
IU moves to 7-0 at home in Wilkinson Hall, the best start to a home slate in program history. The Hoosiers have now won three of five against the Buckeyes and are 5-4 against Ohio State under head coach Steve Aird.
Senior outside hitter Mady Saris shook off a light Friday night effort to provide 16 kills (.256 hitting percentage). Junior outside hitter Candela Alonso-Corcelles led the way with 18 kills. Senior setter Camryn Haworth had 38 assists but made her mark from the service line with three aces.
Sophomore libero Ramsey Gary led an outstanding defensive effort with a match-high 18 digs. Haworth recorded the 28th double-double of her career (38 assists, 13 digs). Alonso-Corcelles and senior defensive specialist Carly Mills each had eight digs. Sophomore middle blocker Ava Vickers had a team high four blocks.
After losing a tight match at No. 11 Oregon last weekend (two deuce sets), IU found a way to finish off a series of close games against the Spartans and Buckeyes. Five of the six set wins on the weekend came by four-or-fewer points.
IU’s trademark over the past three years has been from the service line. On Sunday, it made a world of difference. With seven aces and just seven errors, IU had a 16-point advantage from the end line. Ohio State finished the match with just one ace and 17 service errors.
The road ahead gets difficult for the Hoosiers with a trip to No. 12 Minnesota (Friday) and a visit from No. 3 Penn State (Sunday) on the horizon. The first edition of the RPI ratings come out tomorrow afternoon.
Set Breakdown
Set 1: Indiana 25, Ohio State 15

The Buckeyes had five service errors and seven attacking errors while pulling their starting setter game one. Avry Tatum had four kills in a 25-15 win.

• Camryn Haworth got her serve going as well, extending a 5-0 run into a 16-6 lead. Emmi Sellman committed consecutive attacking errors before Tatum terminated on a back set from Haworth. The Buckeyes eventually sided out on a mistake from Mady Saris.

Set 2: Indiana 25, Ohio State 23
Ohio State turned up the pressure offensively, with seven kills from All-American Emily Londot, but five service errors kept the Hoosiers in the set. Saris provided six of IU’s 15 kills while Ramsey Gary had eight digs. IU nudged its way back into set two, winning a deuce game 25-23.
• The two teams exchanged early blows but Ohio State took the first advantage, opening up a 13-10 lead on four kills from Londot. She terminated on a pair of balls with a big Buckeye block sparking a 3-0 run. IU head coach Steve Aird took his first timeout of the match down three.
• Aird and company won an important challenge on a kill from Saris. The call was reversed in the favor of the Hoosiers with Ohio State in the net on the swing. IU’s deficit quickly grew to four with a kill from Londot and a Buckeye block.
• Candela Alonso-Corcelles went on a great run of serve, fighting through breaks from Ohio State’s timeouts to force set point. Sellman fought off the initial set point but Saris tooled the block on a long rally to give the Hoosiers a 25-23 set win.
Set 3: Ohio State 25, Indiana 23
A struggle of IU’s this season has been closing the match when a window is there. The Hoosiers did that again on Sunday afternoon, allowing Ohio State to hit .467 (16-2-30) in game three. The Hoosiers had 15 kills and two aces but couldn’t make the plays in the red zone. Alonso-Corcelles had six kills on 11 swings in the set.
• A tight open to the third set quickly opened up to a three-point lead. Haworth aced the Buckeyes, followed by another kill from Saris. Ohio State called its first timeout, trailing 10-13.
• IU and Ohio State were tied at five points between 15-all and 21-all, with both sides refusing to let the momentum swing in one direction. Madi Sell found the floor in transition to go up 21-19 but the Buckeyes closed on a 6-2 run. Londot had eight kills in game three, helping Ohio State to a 25-23 win.
Set 4: Indiana 25, Ohio State 22
Both teams hit .250 or above in game four but a three-point advantage from the service line made the difference as IU closed out the match. Sell came alive with three kills while Alonso-Corcelles provided six in the clinching frame. Gary and Haworth each had an ace to help IU win in four games.
• Ohio State opened a 6-1 lead, its biggest advantage of any kind in the match, to begin the fourth set. From there, the Hoosiers went on a 12-3 run. Sell and Saris capped off the long run with a big double block.
• The Buckeyes worked back into the lead, taking the advantage on a successful challenge from Jen Flynn Oldenburg. Their lead lasted to 22-all before Londot served out of bounds. Alonso-Corcelles tooled the block, a call upheld after a challenge, to force match point.
• Tatum went back to serve on match point. Londot attacked out of the back row, hitting directly at Tatum. The Solana Beach, Calif. native stuck her feet and ate the attack off her chest. An overpass over the net wasn’t called by any Ohio State players, dropping to win the match for IU.

PURDUE WOMEN’S SOCCER
FRALEY SCORES, EDWARDS STOPS PK BUT ILLINI RALLY PAST PURDUE
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Lexi Fraley scored the 20th goal of her collegiate career and goalkeeper Emily Edwards made a clutch save on a penalty kick, but Illinois scored twice in the final 34 minutes to rally past Purdue Soccer 2-1 Sunday at Folk Field.
The Fighting Illini (6-5-2, 2-3-1 Big Ten) scored in the 57th and 83rd minutes to become the first team to overcome a halftime deficit against the Boilermakers (6-6-1, 2-4-0 Big Ten) this season. Purdue had been 6-0-1 when scoring first and 5-0-1 when leading at halftime.
Fraley scored from the heart of the 18-yard box against a goalkeeper on her heels, burying her first goal as a Boilermaker in the 39th minute. It was set up by a beautiful lead pass from Abigail Roy played from the west sideline at the midfield stripe.
Fraley scored 19 goals in her three seasons at Ball State, including 10 in 2023. Sunday, she became the eighth Boilermaker to find the back of the net this season. The goal ended Purdue’s scoring drought at home at 333 consecutive minutes dating back to the second half of the Sept. 1 win vs. Dayton.
Edwards made her penalty kick save diving to her right mano a mano vs. Emma Yee in the 49th minute. The clutch play kept Purdue in front 1-0 at the time.
Kennedy Berschel scored the equalizer in the 57th minute and Lia Howard put her team in front with a goal in the 83rd minute. The Purdue coaching staff believed both sequences featured an Illini player offsides. The first goal went to video review but was not overturned. The referee chose not to review the go-ahead marker.
In the sixth minute, Illinois goalkeeper Izzy Lee made the first big play of the game – a sprawling save vs. Chiara Singarella after the Argentine stole the ball from the center back
Purdue had two excellent scoring opportunities on point blank scrambles after the ball hit the crossbar. In the 14th minute, it was Lauren Adam’s service from the left flank that forced Lee to deflect the ball off the bar. Zoe Cuneio crashed the play at the goal line, but the Illini kept the ball out of the net. With the game tied in the 77th minute, Gabriela Angulo fired a shot off the crossbar from 30 yards out over the top of a leaping Lee. Gracie Dunaway got the first touch on the rebound in the heart of the 18-yard box, but Lee recovered in time to make a sliding deflection before Dunaway could get a shot off.
Edwards best save during the run of play came in the 19th minute, diving to her right to get a hand on an unmarked blast off the foot of Ella Karolak from 15 yards out. Edwards finished the day with three saves.
Sydney Boudreau, Cloey Uddenberg, Adam, Anguelo, Cuneio and Singarella went the distance among the Purdue field players. Lauren Meeks logged 62 minutes to lead the reserves. Angulo made her first start Sunday.
The Boilermakers are back in action Thursday for the annual Golden Boot rivalry game with Indiana. Kickoff in Bloomington is slated for 7 p.m. ET.

REAGAN ANDREW TABBED PFL OFFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK
Butler QB Reagan Andrew earned PFL Offensive Player of the Week honors on Sunday after leading the Bulldogs to a 40-6 victory over Morehead State over Homecoming Weekend. This is the second time Andrew has earned the honor this season.
Andrew, the league’s offensive honoree, was responsible for four touchdowns in a win against Morehead State, leading Butler to its first 5-0 start since 2009. Claypool and Lopez shared the league’s defensive honor. Claypool had 3.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks as Drake won its 13th straight PFL game, while Lopez’s 87-yard scoop-and-score in overtime delivered San Diego a win against Presbyterian. Guggemos blocked a punt and scored the loose ball to help St. Thomas build an insurmountable lead in a win against Stetson.
Offensive
Reagan Andrew, Butler (Sophomore, Quarterback, St. Louis, Missouri)
Andrew was responsible for four touchdowns and nearly had a perfect day passing while leading Butler to a 40-6 victory against Morehead State on Saturday. He completed 11-of-12 passes for 172 yards and two touchdowns while running for two touchdowns as part of an eight-carry, 58-yard day. He opened the day’s scoring with a three-yard touchdown run and closed the scoring with a career-long 33-yard touchdown carry. In between, he connected on touchdown throws to William Enneking (14 yards) and Ershod Jasey II (25-yards) on each side of halftime.

Finn Claypool, Drake (Junior (RS), Defensive Lineman, Des Moines, Iowa)
Claypool had 3.5 tackles for loss and led a Drake defensive unit that held Valparaiso to a season-low 80 yards in a 27-3 victory at Valparaiso on Saturday. His 3.5 tackles for loss are the second most in the PFL this season and included 2.5 sacks, the third most in the league, all part of an eight-tackle outing. Claypool’s tackles for loss accounted for minus-21 yards to help the Bulldogs limit Valparaiso to its season-low offensive outing, and fewest points scored this season.
Co-Defensive
Ruben Lopez, San Diego (Junior, Defensive Back, Mission Viejo, California)
Lopez had arguably the play of the day, picking up a fumble and returning it 87 yards for a walk-off touchdown in San Diego’s 27-21 overtime victory against Presbyterian. With Presbyterian threatening to score on the first possession of overtime, a tackle jarred the ball loose, and Lopez picked up the loose ball and ran untouched for the 87-yard score. He also had two tackles (one solo) in the win.
Others Nominated
Butler defensive back Nick Bafia had a team-best seven tackles and two pass breakups in a 40-6 victory against Morehead State.

Later in the first quarter, he intercepted a pass that led to St. Thomas’ first offensive possession, resulting in the Tommies’ third touchdown. Guggemos also had two tackles in the win.
Others Nominated
BU linebacker Jeremiah Jackson blocked a field gaol attempt and had three tackles in a 40-6 victory against MSU.

Erback is able to reach out with her foot and punch the ball in, giving the Musketeers a 2-0 advantage.
37′ | Talia Sommer carries forward, into the area, and finds the foot of Leila Lister. Lister’s shot, straight-on from 12 yards, is blocked by a defender.

BALL STATE WOMEN’S SOCCER
KONOPATZKI’S LATE SAVE SECURES DRAW WITH LEAGUE LEADER BUFFALO
MUNCIE, Ind. – Ball State goalkeeper Grace Konopatzki made a save in the last second of Sunday afternoon’s match with Buffalo to secure a scoreless draw for the hosts at the Briner Sports Complex.
The Cardinals (6-4-2, 1-2-2 Mid-American Conference) played to their second tie in a row, doing so this time against a group that stood at the top of the MAC leaderboard entering the day.
Buffalo (8-1-3, 3-1-1 MAC) had a throw in opportunity in the final 30 seconds of the match, and Konopatzki was back into the contest after Abby Jenkins had to leave with an apparent injury in the final minute. Buffalo’s Frederique St.-Jean got a look from the right side with time about to expire, but Konopatzki collected her fifth and final save of the day to prevent the Bulls from going home with a win.
Both teams got off six shots on goal, while Buffalo led the total shots category 19-11. The Bulls had led corner kicks 3-2 and fouls 11-6.
Delaney Caldwell and Addie Chester placed two shots on goal each for the hosts, while Emily Roper and Tori Monaco also had looks that forced Buffalo goalie Lexie Thompson to make saves. Thompson entered the weekend leading the MAC in multiple goalkeeping categories and was fourth in NCAA Division I with a .909 save percentage.
Konopatzki (3-3-2) has now gone more than 150 minutes without allowing a goal to drop her goals against average to 0.92 and increase her save percentage to .750.
Ball State’s next match is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Thursday at Central Michigan.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Women’s Soccer dropped a 4-1 decision to Tennessee Tech University Sunday afternoon at Strassweg Field.
Following its first Ohio Valley Conference loss last Thursday, Southern Indiana (2-8-4, 1-2-2 OVC) entered Sunday looking to make an early statement. The Screaming Eagles did that and made some early noise with a goal five minutes into the match to take a 1-0 lead. Sophomore midfielder Pilar Torres switched the ball across to junior midfielder Emerson Grafton who directed it forward to junior forward Payton Seymour for the goal-scoring shot. The finish by Seymour was her second goal of the season.
However, as the clock approached the 25th minute, Tennessee Tech (4-7-4, 4-1-0) scored an equalizer to tie the game, 1-1. The Golden Eagles’ answer to USI’s goal came off a header on a corner kick. The Golden Eagles scored a second time nearly four minutes later to grab a 2-1 advantage and then tacked on another goal for a 3-1 lead in the 35th minute.
With less than five minutes left before halftime, USI senior Adriana Berruti ripped a shot off the crossbar for USI’s first shot since Seymour’s goal early in the opening half, but USI trailed 3-1 at the intermission.
Out of halftime, USI played an improved second half, especially on the defensive side. The Screaming Eagles held Tennessee Tech scoreless for most of the second half and challenged Tennessee Tech to difficult chances toward the goal. However, Tennessee Tech did score once more to make the score 4-1 with less than two minutes left.
USI had two good opportunities late in the second half. Junior defender Charli Grafton put a solid header off a corner kick just off the mark, and Emerson Grafton had a shot on goal that was saved.
Southern Indiana totaled a season-low five shots with two shots on goal. Tennessee Tech took 14 shots with nine on target. Corner kicks were nearly even at 8-7 in favor of USI.
Through Sunday’s slate of matches in the OVC, Southern Indiana is in a three-way tie for fifth in the conference alongside Eastern Illinois University and Southern Illinois University Edwardsville with five points.
Coming off fall break, the next match day in the Ohio Valley Conference is next Sunday, October 13. The Screaming Eagles will travel to Morehead State University next Sunday for a Noon (CT) kickoff. Match coverage links can be found at usiscreamingeagles.com.
VALPO MEN’S SOCCER
SOCCER FALLS ON SENIOR DAY TO SOUTHERN ILLINOIS
The Valpo soccer program celebrated the nine members of its senior class on a sunny Sunday afternoon at Brown Field with its annual Senior Day ceremony prior to the match, but when the whistle went, the result didn’t fall the Beacons’ way, as visiting Southern Illinois came away 2-0 victors.
How It Happened
Goalkeeper Kate Sheridan (Grand Rapids, Mich./East Grand Rapids) made six stops on shots on target over the match’s first 26 minutes to keep the match scoreless.
SIU broke through in the 27th minute, as a looping header from Lucy Horn dipped inside the top-left corner of the goal.
The score remained 1-0 at intermission, as Sheridan made three more saves following the opening goal to keep the Beacons within a goal.
Junior Molly O’Rear (Naperville, Ill./Naperville Central) had a good rip at an equalizer in the 51st minute that flew just over the crossbar.
Less than two minutes later, the Salukis doubled their lead off a set piece, as Sierra O’Grady got a flick on a ball into the box and found the net to make it 2-0, where the score remained for the duration of the match.
Inside the Match
Prior to the match, Valpo honored its senior class — grad transfer Ella Schad (Prairie du Sac, Wis./Sauk Prairie [Coastal Carolina]) and four-year seniors Lauren Cook (Littleton, Colo./D’Evelyn), Cara Crompton (Centerville, Ohio/Centerville), Peyton Evans (Parker, Colo./Legend), Dana Fish (Sheboygan, Wis./Sheboygan North), Sam Gountounas (Tinley Park, Ill./Andrew), Addy Joiner (Chesterton, Ind./Chesterton), Emma Morrison (Canton, Mich./Plymouth-Canton) and Abby White (Commerce Township, Mich./Walled Lake Central).
All seven healthy seniors — excepting Fish and Evans — were in Valpo’s starting eleven on Sunday afternoon. For Crompton and Cook, it was the first start of their respective collegiate careers.
Morrison played the full 90 minutes, the first time she has gone the distance in a match since Oct. 23, 2022.
SIU ended the match with a 23-8 shot advantage and put 14 of its efforts on goal to Valpo’s four.
Sheridan ended the match with a season-best 12 saves, the highest total by a Valpo goalkeeper since Kezia Gesell stopped 12 shots in a win at Illinois State Oct. 8, 2018.
Saluki goalkeeper Fabiana Solano made four saves to secure the shutout.
Thoughts From Coach Marovich
“Right now, it’s tough because we’re on a run of results that haven’t gone our way. I think this is one of those things where you have to keep after it until you find and make your own luck. We’re not going to back down; we’re going to keep doing what we do and get back to work.”
“I truly believe we have the right people in the room — this is a group which is going to fight and keep battling. We’re going to work this week to continue to get better and get ready for Evansville next Sunday. I believe we’re not far away; we have a lot of good things going on, just right now we’re not getting the benefit of the work we’re putting in.”
“When you go through a stretch like this, it’s natural to start to press, and when that happens things can go sideways for you. We have to trust that we don’t have to play pressed or stressed, we just have to play composed.”
Next Up
Valpo (4-9-0, 0-5-0 MVC) has a bye in the Thursday match slot this week and will return to action next Sunday afternoon, right back on Brown Field to take on Evansville at 1 p.m. The match will be broadcast live on ESPN+.
UINDY MEN’S SOCCER
HOUNDS WIN DEFENSIVE BATTLE ON THE ROAD AGAINST SOUTHWEST BAPTIST
INDIANAPOLIS – The UIndy men’s soccer team secured the 2-0 win in a defensive battle on Sunday vs. Southwest Baptist.
The Hounds remained undefeated all-time against Southwest Baptist, six wins and zero losses. UIndy also extended their streak of outshooting opponents in a game to six straight with their 11 shots compared to the Bearcats’ six shots.
HOW IT HAPPENED
The Hounds’ Ionas Giovanidis made a diving save on the Bearcats’, Julius Tabe’s direct free kick in the 9th minute to keep the score all tied at zero.
Much of the first half was a defensive stalemate, but in the 44th minute, Roman Beko’s corner kick found the head of Landon Montfort to give UIndy the 1-0 lead.
Medard Mikobi almost doubled the Hounds lead 30 seconds later, but the Bearcats Marco Iñguez made a great save to keep the game 1-0 headed to the half.
Alvaro Sanchez recorded one of the only on-target shots of the second half in the 48th minute when his low driven shot forced a routine save for the Bearcats’ goalkeeper.
Chances continued to be few and far between for both teams in the second half, but Sanchez’s goal off a counterattack led by Beko and assisted by Lucas Bedleg to give the Hounds the lead in the 77th minute became the eventual brace to give UIndy the 2-0 win.
INSIDE THE BOX
– Montfort scored his first career goal for the Hounds today.
– Beko recorded his team leading fourth assist today against the Bearcats.
– Jake Plant made his first start of the season, and his first start for the Hounds since Sept. 2, 2023 when the Hounds faced Lake Erie.
– Sanchez scored his second goal of the season for UIndy with his brace to secure the 2-0 win.
UP NEXT
UIndy will look to keep things rolling on Friday Oct. 11, when they head back home to take on Lincoln in another GLVC conference game.

FOOTBALL HISTORY
October 7, 1916 – The most lopsided victory in the history of college football occurs when legendary Coach John Heisman led his Georgia Tech team to a 222-0 victory over the outmanned Cumberland College squad. This story according to an article posted by the NCAA may have started the year prior. Heisman at that time was also the school’s baseball coach. The two schools met on the baseball diamond in 1915, and Cumberland peppered the Tech ballers 22-0. Heisman was furious, feeling that his opponents had stacked their roster with professional ringers, which severely outclassed his group of true amateur collegiate players. Heisman had his eye on some redemption as he knew his gridder team had Cumberland College on their schedule for the 1916 season. The plot thickened though when Cumberland decided to drop its football program completely.
This schedule commitment prior to the discontinuation of the football team made Cumberland forced to play the October 7 game or face a steep fine of $3000, payable to Georgia Tech for the breach of contract for the game. This was some big money in that era. The school’s officials charged the team’s student manager with the rask of assembling a team to face the Ramblin’ Wreck. This poor soul filled out the roster with a bunch of his fraternity brothers, who felt it obligatory to help one of their own out of a jam, besides it sounded like fun. Especially when John Heisman vowed to give the Cumberland eleven $500 for travel expenses, which equates to just over $11,500 in today’s money.
Georgia Tech on the other hand was stocked with players that would later win the national championship in 1917 by defeating Cal in the Rose Bowl. Okay you know the score that we shared with you in the first sentence of this post, but here are some of the stats of the Most Lopsided Game in football history.
Cumberland had only 45 offensive plays, out done by only 28 run by Tech!
Cumberland committed 15 turnovers or roughly one of every three they lost the ball!
Passer Leon McDonald threw four interceptions in the game, and then was relieved of his QB duties by George Murphy who tossed two more picks.
5 of the 6 interceptions were pick sixes
Two of the fumbles were scoop and scores
Six kicking plays were returned for touchdowns by the Yellow Jackets, including four punts and two kickoffs. (I am not sure how Cumberland had to kick off twice, perhaps a safety?)
That does not include one of the weirdest plays in college football history. In the second quarter, after Georgia Tech scored to make it 105-0, Jim Preas kicked off to Cumberland’s Gouger, who fumbled the ball. Then Preas, the kicker, recovered the kick and scored before kicking the extra point as well to push Tech’s lead to 112-0.
Speaking of Preas he nailed a record 18 extra point attempts in the first half. He was relieved of this duty for the second half (he may have been too tired) by Tommy Spence, who converted five in a row before missing back-to-back tries and then he was replaced. George Everett Strupper made one in the fourth quarter, and then Bill Fincher hit six more in the fourth, giving Georgia Tech a 30-for-32 mark on the day.
There was not one first down recorded by either team.
Tech scored 63 points in the first quarter, and then matched that total again in the second.
Heisman’s team did not attempt even one pass during the contest, they didn’t have to when they were averaging a staggering 4.5 point per play on the ground!
Georgia Tech’s defense and special teams accounted for a whopping 96 points in the contest out gunned by the offense that generated 126 tallies of their own.
This is the beatdown of all beatdowns in any sport. Heisman has gone down in history as one of the greats in the game of football one of the good guys, but if someone got under his dander, by golly they were surely going to pay for it.
October 7, 1979 – Dino Hall of the Cleveland Browns returns a franchise record 9 kickoffs in a game. It is probably not a record that the franchise nor their fans wanted to witness as their rivals, the Pittsburgh Steelers put up a 50 burger, in the 51-35 Steel-town win at Cleveland Municipal Stadium.
October 7, 1984 – Walter Payton hits a major milestone as he surpassed the great Jim Brown’s 12312 yards as the NFL’s All-Time leading rusher. Sweetness navigated his way through the New Orleans Saints defense in a 20-7 win at Soldier Field.
October 7, 2012 – Drew Brees of the New Orleans Saints etches his name once again in the NFL record books breaking legendary quarterback Johnny Unitas’s record of 48 consecutive games with a touchdown pass. The streak continued when wideout Devery Henderson hauled in the scoring strike from Brees as the Saints prevailed 31-24 over Mr. Brees former team, the San Diego Chargers at the Superdome.
Hall of Fame Birthdays for October 7
October 7, 1921 – Vaughn Mancha a center from the University of Alabama was born. According to an article on nolefan.org Mancha suffered from the loss of vision in one eye due to a childhood accident but that didn’t deter him from having an extremely productive football career at both the collegiate and professional levels. Due to his injury Mancha was unable to serve in the military, so the patriotic young man joined the Merchant Marines to aid in the war efforts. After the fighting was over, Vaughn enrolled at Alabama and became a four year letterman and one of the best football players in school history. For the Tide he was a two-way player manning both the center and linebacker positions. In 1948 the Boston Yanks picked Mancha in the NFL draft. A knee injury cut short his NFL playing career so Vaughn got into coaching. He started out at Livingston State, which would eventually become the University of West Alabama, and in his first year at the helm in 1949, his team knocked off Florida State. The two teams did not play again but a couple years later in 1952, the Florida State brass decided to hire Mancha as an assistant coach, a role he stayed at for 5 seasons. In 1957 Mancha moved to New York City where he coached the linebackers at Columbia University as he worked on a graduate degree at the school. After a few short years in the Big Apple he returned to the Seminoles to become their Athletic Director. It was during the twelve seasons that Mancha served in that role that the Florida State program became a national powerhouse, as they played other big name schools and this spread to other sports teams at the school as well. The National Football Foundation voted Mr. Mancha into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1990.
October 7, 1950 – Dick Jauron was a former Yale University running back that played for the Bulldogs from 1970 through the 1972 season. Jauron was a First-Team All-Ivy League selection and led his team in rushing in all three of the seasons he played for Yale. The Detroit Lions picked Dick in the fourth round of the 1973 NFL Draft. His eight year playing career also saw him spend three seasons as a member of the Cincinnati Bengals. After his playing days he worked as a coach in the NFL for 28 seasons, including being the Head Coach of both the Chicago Bears and the Buffalo Bills. Jauron earned the 2001 NFL Coach of the Year Award. Dick Jauron was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2015.
October 7, 1976 – Was the birth anniversary of Charles Woodson, a cornerback from the University of Michigan. The footballfoundation.org website informs us that Woodson is the only primarily defensive player to have ever won the Heisman Trophy. Woodson was a two -time First-Team All-American player for the Wolverines and played on the Michigan National Championship team of 1997. One of the biggest games of the ’97 season was a game against arch-rival Ohio State. Charles had a very big part in the Wolverines victory over the Buckeyes. The defensive back intercepted a pass in the endzone, returned a kick 78 yards and caught an offensive 37 yard pass for Michigan’s only touchdown of the game. Again he came on strong in a big game to preserve a 12-0 season in the Rose Bowl against Washington State University. In that bowl game he had a Rose Bowl record 4 pass break ups and recorded an interception. In addition to the Heisman Trophy mentioned earlier, Charles took home the Walter Camp Award, Jim Thorpe Award, Chuck Bednarik Ward, Bronko Nagurski Trophy to go along with the National Championship hardware he helped Michigan achieve! The National Football Foundation selected Charles Woodson into their College Football Hall of Fame in 2018.
TODAY IN BASEBALL HISTORY
1904 Jack Chesbro gets his 41st win of the season when the Highlanders beat Boston in New York, 3-2. Happy Jack’s win total is considered the modern-era major league mark for the most victories in a season.
1905 Fred Odwell hits his ninth and final home run of the season, an inside-the-park round-tripper of Cardinal right-hander Buster Brown at Robison Field, making the Reds’ outfielder the National League’s home run champion. ‘Fritz’ hit just one last year as a rookie, and after leading the majors this season, he will not hit another round-tripper for the remainder of his career, a span of 154 games.
1911 In their final game at the Huntington Avenue Grounds, the Red Sox beat the Senators, 8-1, with only 850 patrons attending the 82-minute contest due to the cold, damp weather. Despite the weather, Boston owner John I. Taylor keeps his promise of having a “Kids’ Day,” giving free admission to hundreds of children attending the season finale.
1925 Before Game 1 of the World Series at Forbes Field, Commissioner Landis orders the Pirates and the Senators to wear black armbands in memory of former Giants legend Christy Matthewson, who died of tuberculosis this morning at Saran Lake (NY). Although the practice will become common, this marks the first time in major league history that teams have altered their uniform to acknowledge a fellow ballplayer’s passing.
1935 In the bottom of the ninth inning of Game 6, the Tigers win their first World Series in franchise history when Goose Goslin singles home Mickey Cochrane to give the team a dramatic 4-3 walk-off victory over the Cubs. Tommy Bridges goes the distance, giving up 12 hits, to win the Navin Field.
1939 In Game 3 at Crosley Field, Charlie Keller becomes the first rookie to hit two home runs in the same World Series game. The 22-year-old outfielder’s round-trippers in the first and fifth innings, both off starter Junior Thompson, contribute to the Yankees’ 7-3 victory over the Reds.
1950 Rookie hurler Whitey Ford, with ninth-inning help from Allie Reynolds, beats the Phillies, 5-2, as the Yankees complete the Fall Classic sweep of Philadelphia’s ‘Whiz Kids.’ Jerry Coleman wins the Babe Ruth Award as the World Series MVP.
1952 In the decisive Game 7, the Yankees beat the Dodgers at Ebbets Field, 4-2, to win their fourth consecutive World Championship. Some Brooklyn fans gathered at local churches asking for divine help for Gil Hodges to break his slump, but their beloved first baseman finished the Fall Classic hitless in twenty-one at-bats.
(Ed. Note: Joe Black takes the loss in his third start of the World Series. The 28-year-old right-hander appeared only twice as the starting pitcher in the regular season, making 54 appearances in relief for the Dodgers. – LP)
1961 The Yankees win Game 3 of the World Series, beating the hometown Reds at Crosley Field, 3-2. The decisive blow is Roger Maris’ home run leading off the top of the ninth inning off Cincinnati starter Bob Purkey.
1964 Bob Uecker, who had been shagging out in left field, tries to catch batting practice balls with a tuba when an unsuspecting member of a Dixieland band leaves it unattended. Much to the delight of the crowd, the comedic Cardinals backup catcher is successful in two of his six attempts to snag a fly ball in the mouth of the instrument, but the owner, who is not amused, asks the team for $250 to cover the cost of repairing the dented brass.
1969 The Cardinals trade Curt Flood, Byron Browne, Joe Hoerner, and Tim McCarver to the Philadelphia Phillies in exchange for Dick Allen, Jerry Johnson, and Cookie Rojas. When Flood refuses to report to Philadelphia, St. Louis sends Willie Montanez and a minor leaguer to complete the trade, but the outfielder continues his courageous challenge to the reserve clause, which will have a dramatic impact on the game.
1977 The Dodgers rally for three runs with none on and two outs in the top of the ninth to take a one-run lead in their eventual 6-5 victory over the Phillies at Veterans Stadium in Game 3 of the NLCS. The game appears to be over when LA’s Davey Lopes is picked off first base for the final out, but a throwing error by Gene Garber advances him to second base, from where he will score the decisive run on Bill Russell’s single.
1978 In Game 4 of the NLCS, Ron Cey scores in the 10th inning on Bill Russell’s two-out game-winning single, giving the Dodgers a 4-3 victory over the Phillies and their second consecutive National League pennant. Cey, who walked after the first two batters were retired, advanced into scoring position when Garry Maddox misplayed Dusty Baker’s fly ball in center field.
1981 The first postseason game outside the United States occurs in Montreal when the Expos beat the Phillies in Game 1 of NLDS, 3-1, at Olympic Stadium. The franchise will not make playoffs again for 31 years, appearing in the postseason as the Washington Nationals in 2012.
1981 After jumping to catch Manny Trillo’s liner for the last out of the NLDS clincher, Warren Cromartie borrows a Canadian flag from an Expo fan sitting in the stands and begins waving it near the Phillies’ dugout. The remaining Veteran Stadium crowd, already disappointed by Philadelphia’s season-ending 3-0 loss to Montreal, does not react kindly to the outfielder’s patriotic gesture.
1984 In a game best remembered for Cubs’ first baseman Leon Durham’s seventh-inning error on an easy ground ball, the Padres win the NLCS when Tony Gwynn’s seventh-inning two-run double breaks a 3-3 tie en route to a 6-3 victory at Jack Murphy Stadium. Chicago had a 2-0 game advantage and a 3-0 lead in the decisive Game 5 but could not end their thirty-nine-year World Series appearance drought.
1988 The Yankees replace manager Lou Piniella, who had taken over for the fired Billy Martin in June, with Dallas Green. The former Phillies’ skipper compiles a 56-65 record (.463) before being fired in August after calling George Steinbrenner’ Manager George’ due to the team’s meddling with the team.
1995 In Game 4 of the ALDS, Edgar Martinez’s eighth-inning grand slam breaks a 6-6 tie with the Yankees at the Kingdome. The Mariner DH’s round-tripper, considered by many the biggest in franchise history, is the difference in Seattle’s eventual 11-10 victory, forcing a decisive Game 5.
1995 With a 10-4 victory over Colorado, the Braves win their Division Series behind the solid pitching of Greg Maddux and the power provided by Fred McGriff’s two home runs. The eventual World Champs will sweep Cincinnati in the NLCS before beating Cleveland in the Fall Classic
2000 Benny Agbayani’s 13th-inning home run ends the longest LDS game, which takes five hours and 22 minutes to complete. The dramatic round-tripper by the Mets outfielder, voted the 36th greatest athlete from Hawaii by Sports Illustrated, gives New York a 3-2 victory and a 2-1 series advantage over the Giants.
2001 On the last day of the season, Rickey Henderson bloops a double down the right-field line off Rockies’ hurler John Thomson to become the 25th major leaguer to collect 3000 hits. Tony Gwynn, playing in his last major league game and a member of the 3000 hit club, meets the Padres’ outfielder at home plate in front of a sellout crowd at Qualcomm Park.
2001 Barry Bonds extends his major league record for home runs in a season to 73 as he drives a 3-2 first-inning knuckleball off Dodger Dennis Springer over the right-field fence. The blast also secures two more major league records for the Giants’ left fielder when he surpasses Babe Ruth (1920 – .847) with a .863 season slugging percentage and bests Mark McGwire (1998 – one HR every 7.27 AB) by homering in every 6.52 at-bats.
2005 The White Sox complete a three-game postseason sweep of the Red Sox, defeating the defending World Series champion in Game 3 of the ALDS, 5-3. The Fenway Park victory marks the first time the Pale Hose have won a postseason series since 1917.
2006 Three years after enduring a 119-loss season, the wild-card Tigers upset the much-favored Yankees to advance to the ALCS for the first time since 1987. After beating New York 8-3 to take the ALDS 3 games to 1, the Detroit players start spraying champagne on fans at Comerica Park, who have suffered through 12 consecutive losing seasons and a tough month of September before the team wins their first postseason series in 19 years.
2006 The Mets defeat Los Angeles at Dodger Stadium, 9-5, to complete a three-game sweep in the NLDS. The Dodgers have won only one postseason game in 13 attempts since beating the A’s in the 1988 World Series.
2007 George Steinbrenner makes it clear if the Yankees do not get past the first round of playoffs against the Indians, Joe Torre’s job, the longest-tenured manager under the Boss’s ownership, will be in jeopardy. Trailing the ALDS 2-0, the team responds for their popular skipper with a come-from-behind 6-4 victory over the Tribe at the Stadium.
2010 With only 17 instances of a manager getting tossed in postseason history, two occurrences happen on the same day when umpires eject Rays’ Joe Maddon and Twins’ Ron Gardenhire from different ALCS games. Against Texas, the Tampa Bay skipper gets the heave-ho in for arguing a check swing with home plate ump Jim Wolf, and the Minnesota pilot suffers the same fate with Hunter Wendelstedt for arguing balls and strikes in the seventh in the contest against the Yankees.
2018 At 20 years and 293 days, Ronald Acuña Jr. becomes the youngest player in MLB history to hit a postseason grand slam, going deep off Walker Buehler in the second inning of the Braves’ 6-5 victory over the Dodgers in Game 3 of the NLDS. Yankee legend Mickey Mantle previously held the record at 21 years and 349 days old when he went deep with the bases loaded in Game 5 of the 1953 World Series.
2018 Uni-President Lions pitcher Ryan Verdugo throws nine perfect innings, but the southpaw does not leave the mound a winner in the scoreless contest against the Chinatrust Brothers. When third baseman Kuo Fu-Lin leads off the ninth inning with a walk-off home run, the former Kansas City Royal hurler will earn his perfect game, the first in the Chinese Professional Baseball League’s history.
