YANKS BECOME WORLD SERIES FAVORITES AFTER EDGING GUARDIANS IN GAME 4 OF ALCS

Just one night after coughing up a 5-3 lead in the ninth inning and going on to lose in the 10th, the New York Yankees looked determined to prevent the Cleveland Guardians from picking up any more momentum in the American League Championship Series on Friday.

Cleveland almost did, though. It managed to crawl out of a four-run hole that it had fallen into in the sixth inning, drawing even at 6 when Game 3 hero David Fry singled home a run in the home half of the eighth.

But this time there would be no fairy-tale ending for the Guardians, who saw New York strike for a pair of runs in the top of the ninth before silencing Cleveland in the bottom of the frame for an 8-6 win and a 3-1 edge in the ALCS.

The Yankees’ resiliency on Friday also caught the eye of bookmakers, with BetMGM now listing New York as a -105 favorite to win the World Series. The Yankees had entered the day at +145, good for the second-shortest odds behind the Los Angeles Dodgers (-135).

Los Angeles moved to +110 after getting roughed up by the Mets on Friday, 12-6, in Game 5 of the National League Championship Series. Still, the Dodgers hold a 3-2 edge in the best-of-seven set, which is headed back out to the West Coast for Game 6 on Sunday.

BetMGM believes there isn’t much hope for the Guardians, who are +1000 underdogs in the ALCS and sit at +2500 in the World Series race.

The Mets are +400 to complete a comeback in the NLCS, with their championship odds at +900.

Should the Yankees defeat Cleveland in Game 5 on Saturday, they would be headed to the World Series for the first time since 2009.

METS DRILL DODGERS 12-6 IN GAME 5, STAY ALIVE IN NLCS

NEW YORK — Pete Alonso hit a three-run homer in the first inning before the New York Mets fended off several rallies by the Los Angeles Dodgers and staved off elimination with a 12-6 win in Game 5 of the National League Championship Series on Friday.

The Dodgers lead the best-of-seven series three games to two. Game 6 is scheduled for Sunday night in Los Angeles.

Alonso’s homer off Jack Flaherty (1-2) provided a much-needed first punch for the Mets, who lost 10-2 in Game 4 Thursday night and were outscored 30-9 in the first four games of the series.

New York appeared on its way to an easy win when it extended its lead to 8-1 in the third, when Starling Marte (two-RBI double), Francisco Alvarez (single), Francisco Lindor (triple) and Brandon Nimmo (single) drove in runs.

But the Dodgers inched back against starter David Peterson and relievers Reed Garrett and Ryne Stanek (1-0). Rookie center fielder Andy Pages hit the first of his two homers, a solo shot, in the fourth before Jesse Winker laced an RBI triple and scored on Jeff McNeil’s sacrifice fly in the bottom half to put the Mets up 10-2.

Pages hit a three-run homer in the fifth and Mookie Betts led off the sixth with a round-tripper before Stanek and Edwin Diaz finally cooled off the Dodgers by retiring 12 of the final 13 batters. Diaz got the last six outs in a non-save situation.

Stanek earned the win after tossing 2 1/3 innings — his longest outing in 430 big-league appearances, counting the playoffs.

The Mets added insurance on another sacrifice fly by McNeil in the sixth and an RBI single by Marte in the eighth. Marte tied a postseason franchise record with four hits.

Peterson, making his first start since Sept. 29, allowed two runs on six hits and four walks while striking out three over 3 2/3 innings.

Flaherty gave up eight runs on eight hits and four walks while striking out none over three innings.

NFL NEWS

WR AMARI COOPER EXPECTED TO MAKE BILLS DEBUT SUNDAY

The Buffalo Bills expect newly acquired wide receiver Amari Cooper to make his debut for the team Sunday against the visiting Tennessee Titans.

Cooper, 30, came to the Bills via trade from the Cleveland Browns on Tuesday. Originally, the team was undecided on whether he would play against the Titans, but coach Sean McDermott sounded more certain of a plan Friday.

“We’ll see. I think so,” McDermott said when asked if Cooper would play this week for the Bills (4-2).

McDermott said he will confer with the coaching staff before making a final decision.

Coming off a career-high 1,250 receiving yards last year for Cleveland, Cooper got off to a slow start this season. In six games, he had 24 receptions for 250 yards and two touchdowns. His per-catch average of 10.4 yards is on pace for a career low and 7 yards under last year’s career-best average.

Now with his fourth NFL franchise, Cooper gets an upgrade at quarterback from Deshaun Watson to Josh Allen, who has thrown 156 passes this year without an interception.

“As far as playing with Josh, I’ve always been (a) fan of his game,” Cooper said this week. “I’m sure to see it up close and personal and play alongside him. I’m sure it’s going to be great. I’m just excited to turn a new chapter and to be able to contribute.”

The Bills haven’t had a go-to receiver this season after trading Stefon Diggs to the Houston Texans in the offseason.

Buffalo also is expected to have defensive tackle Ed Oliver (hamstring) on the field. Oliver, 26, was inactive for each of the past two games. He has a sack among his five tackles in four games this season.

“I expect him at this point to play in the game,” McDermott said Friday of Oliver.

Running back James Cook (toe) also is expected to play, while running back Ray Davis is now limited after coming away with a calf injury in practice Thursday.

The Bills will stick with struggling kicker Tyler Bass after multiple kickers were brought in for a tryout Wednesday before Lucas Havrisik was signed to the practice squad. Bass, 27, has converted nine of 12 field goals and 18 of 20 extra points this season.

COMMANDERS RULE OUT DE DORANCE ARMSTRONG (RIB) VS. PANTHERS

Washington Commanders defensive end Dorance Armstrong won’t play Sunday against the visiting Carolina Panthers because of a rib injury, coach Dan Quinn said Friday.

Quinn also ruled out rookie safety Tyler Owens (shin) and said starting running back Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) is “trending in the right direction” and a decision will be made this weekend. Robinson did not practice last week and has been limited this week.

Armstrong, 27, was injured in last Sunday’s 30-23 loss to the host Baltimore Ravens. He did not practice Wednesday and Thursday.

“He had a good week but he’s not there yet,” Quinn said.

Armstrong has started all six games for Washington (4-2) and has 12 tackles, three sacks, nine quarterback hits and one forced fumble.

He signed as a free agent with Washington in March after six seasons with the Dallas Cowboys, who had selected him in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL Draft out of Kansas.

Armstrong has 181 career tackles, 26.5 sacks, 25 tackles for loss, 57 QB hits, four forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries in 99 games (20 starts).

Owens, 23, was an undrafted free agent out of Texas Tech who has played in four games on special teams and has two tackles. He did not practice on Wednesday and was limited on Thursday.

Robinson, 25, leads the Commanders in rushing with team highs of 325 yards, 73 carries and five touchdowns in five games. He missed the game against the Ravens last Sunday, when Washington was limited to 52 rushing yards on 18 attempts.

He has 1,855 career rushing yards with 12 TDs and 496 receiving yards with five TDs in 32 games (29 starts) since Washington picked him in the third round of the 2022 draft out of Alabama.

NINERS GM SAYS CHRISTIAN MCCAFFREY ‘DOING INCREDIBLY WELL’

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch said star running back Christian McCaffrey continues to make progress but there is still no timeline for his season debut.

McCaffrey, the reigning NFL Offensive Player of the Year, is dealing with Achilles tendinitis in both legs and has been on injured reserve since Sept. 14.

“No new updates other than he’s doing incredibly well,” Lynch told KNBR on Friday morning. “It’s all about the ramp up, increasing the activity, making sure that there’s no setbacks. I could just tell people he’s on a good track with that. No timelines or anything, but he’s doing a little bit more — not each day. We kind of stagger it, work hard one day, kind of go into more of a (regeneration) day the next day.

“But when you can start to stack those and not have setbacks, that’s a good thing, and that’s kind of the direction he’s trending in.”

Earlier reports indicated that McCaffrey, 28, would not be ready to return until late November or early December.

A three-time Pro Bowl selection and two-time first-team All-Pro, McCaffrey led the NFL with 1,459 rushing yards and 2,023 yards from scrimmage last season. He has four 1,000-yard rushing seasons and two 100-catch campaigns in 91 games (84 starts) for the Carolina Panthers (2017-22) and 49ers.

In his absence, Jordan Mason leads the 49ers (3-3) and ranks second in the NFL with 609 rushing yards through six games (five starts).

GIANTS SIGN OT CHRIS HUBBARD OFF 49ERS’ PRACTICE SQUAD

The New York Giants signed veteran offensive tackle Chris Hubbard off the San Francisco 49ers’ practice squad on Friday.

Coach Brian Daboll announced the move two days after left tackle Andrew Thomas landed on injured reserve following season-ending foot surgery.

Hubbard, 33, has played in 94 games (58 starts) with the Pittsburgh Steelers (2014-17), Cleveland Browns (2018-22) and Tennessee Titans (2023).

Hubbard spent training camp and the preseason with the 49ers before signing with their practice squad on Sept. 11.

EX-NFL QB JAY CUTLER FACING DUI, OTHER CHARGES IN TENNESSEE

Former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler is facing multiple charges after his arrest Thursday night in Franklin, Tenn.

Cutler, 41, was taken into custody on suspicion of DUI, implied consent, possession of a handgun while under the influence, and failure to exercise due care to avoid a collision, according to police.

He was booked into the Williamson County jail and released on a $5,000 bond.

According to The Tennessean, Cutler was involved in a two-vehicle accident around 5 p.m. Thursday. The driver of the other car told police that Cutler offered him $2,000 not to call authorities and tried to flee the scene. That driver, a 61-year-old man, complained of back pain and transported himself to the hospital.

Cutler was arrested after officers noticed a strong odor of alcohol while talking with him and said the ex-player had bloodshot eyes and slurred his words, per The Tennessean.

He admitted to officers that he had consumed “a little bit” of alcohol but refused a field sobriety test. Blood was drawn at a local hospital, per the report.

Cutler was drafted No. 11 overall out of Vanderbilt by the Broncos in 2006 and spent 12 seasons in the league with Denver (2006-08), the Chicago Bears (2009-16) and Miami Dolphins (2017). He was selected to the Pro Bowl in 2008.

REPORT: SAINTS CB PAULSON ADEBO (LEG) HAS SEASON-ENDING SURGERY

New Orleans Saints cornerback Paulson Adebo underwent surgery Friday morning to repair a broken right femur and will miss the rest of the season, ESPN reported.

He will be sidelined for about four to five months and could have played his final game for New Orleans. He is due to become an unrestricted free agent in March.

Adebo, 25, suffered the injury during Thursday night’s 33-10 home loss to the Denver Broncos. He was injured in the second quarter while trying to make a tackle, then carted off the field and taken to a local hospital.

The Saints started the season 2-0 and have lost five straight games as the injuries mount.

Among the Saints who missed Thursday’s game were quarterback Derek Carr (oblique), wide receiver Chris Olave (concussion) and tight end Taysom Hill (ribs). All-Pro offensive lineman Ryan Ramczyk (knee) is out for the season, as is receiver Rashid Shaheed (knee).

Adebo has three interceptions, 10 passes defensed and 52 tackles in seven starts on the season. In his career, he has 254 tackles and 10 picks in 52 games (51 starts) since New Orleans drafted him in the third round in 2021.

WEEK 7 NFL CAPSULES

New England Patriots (1-5) at Jacksonville Jaguars (1-5), 9:30 a.m. ET in London
Jacksonville stays in London but shifts to Wembley Stadium for a second consecutive regular-season game in Europe. The Patriots are 8-1 against the Jaguars and appeared to find new energy in a quarterback change from Jacoby Brissett to rookie No. 3 overall pick Drake Maye. Maye looks to drive New England to a 4-1 all-time record in international games after a three-TD debut last week during which he established a quick connection with WR Demario Douglas (six catches, 92 yards, TD). The Jaguars are giving up a tick under 30 points per game and the offense is struggling to keep pace — and stay healthy. In TE Evan Engram’s return from injury last week, he posted 10 receptions against the Bears. Rookie WR Brian Thomas Jr. has been Trevor Lawrence’s most consistent target. He leads all NFL rookies with 424 receiving yards. The Jaguars are back stateside next week — not headed for a bye — with these four games before the scheduled break: Packers, Eagles, Vikings, Lions.

Seattle Seahawks (3-3) at Atlanta Falcons (4-2), 1 p.m. ET
The Falcons are riding a three-game winning streak, their longest since winning the last four games of the 2019 season. Seattle opened the season by winning its first three games before dropping three straight. Atlanta is looking for its first winning season and playoff appearance since 2017 having just completed a three-game sweep of divisional opponents. QB Kirk Cousins set the franchise’s single-game passing total with 509 yards and four touchdowns in a 36-30 win to open October. Then the run game took over against Carolina. Backup running back Tyler Allgeier led the team with 105 rushing yards and one score, while Bijan Robinson ran for 95 yards and two touchdowns. First-year head coach Raheem Morris has been impressed with the work of offensive coordinator Zac Robinson, who is also in his first year. Robinson, who spent the last two seasons as the pass game coordinator and quarterbacks coach with the Los Angeles Rams, has Atlanta averaging 24.8 points per game, up from 18.9 last season. Seattle is fighting injuries, especially in the secondary, and could be forced to use its fourth-string right tackle.

Tennessee Titans (1-4) at Buffalo Bills (4-2), 1 p.m. ET
The Bills introduce new No. 1 WR Amari Cooper, who was acquired Tuesday from the Browns and is looking forward to bigger and better things in his fourth NFL home. Not only did he gain three games in the standings by joining Buffalo, but he’s now the top target of Josh Allen. Allen has thrown 156 passes this year without an interception. RB James Cook (toe) might not play. But he wasn’t missed in Monday night’s 23-20 win at the New York Jets as rookie Ray Davis accumulated 152 total yards (97 rushing, 55 receiving) on 23 touches. QB Will Levis struggled again and the Titans blew a late lead to the Colts last week. Levis completed 16 of 27 passes for only 93 yards. Of more importance to Tennessee is his turnover trouble. His fourth-quarter interception last week was his seventh in five games and his 10th giveaway this season. The Titans’ problems offensively are obscuring the solid work of their defense, which is ranked No. 1 in the league in total defense (248.8 yards per game) and against the pass (137.0).

Cincinnati Bengals (2-4) at Cleveland Browns (1-5), 1 p.m. ET
Maybe AFC North rivalries can awaken the Browns, or perhaps the long-awaited return of RB Nick Chubb. Cleveland faces its first division opponent, hosting the Bengals in pursuit of a season-shifting win. Chubb is expected to take the field for the first time since a Week 2 knee injury prematurely ended his 2023 season. He comes back in a time of need for Cleveland, which just traded wideout Amari Cooper to the Buffalo Bills on Tuesday. The Browns are scoring the third-fewest points per game in the NFL (15.8) and have dropped four games in a row. The Bengals got off to an 0-3 start, but they have since won two of their past three games, most recently beating the New York Giants 17-7 in Week 6. Cincinnati’s defense finally stepped up, holding an opponent under 24 points for the first time since a season-opening 16-10 setback against the New England Patriots. But Cincinnati has a six-game losing streak in Cleveland and has yielded an average of 27.5 points per contest in those defeats. QB Joe Burrow continues to do his part, ranking second in the NFL with 12 TD passes and fifth with 1,578 passing yards.

Houston Texans (5-1) at Green Bay Packers (4-2), 1 p.m. ET
Two of the most consistent quarterbacks in the league since the start of the 2023 season are center stage at Lambeau Field. Jordan Love has two-plus TD passes in 15 games since he became the Packers’ starter to open last season. C.J. Stroud has multiple TD passes in three of his past four road games, driving the Texans to the top of the AFC South. He had three TD passes in a 41-21 win at New England last week. Neither quarterback could solve the Vikings’ defense run by Brian Flores, but Love thrives at home with four TD passes in each of his last two games in Green Bay. The Packers’ defense is tops in the NFL with a plus-9 turnover differential and will be looking to force Stroud into uncharacteristic mistakes. Safety Xavier McKinney leads the league with five interceptions. Green Bay will use new kicker Brandon McManus after releasing rookie Brayden Narveson, who missed five of 17 field-goal attempts this season.

Miami Dolphins (2-3) at Indianapolis Colts (3-3), 1 p.m. ET
The visiting Dolphins are back at it following a well-timed week off and Miami has won four in a row coming out of its bye. The road team is also 4-1 in the past five meetings in this series. Miami remains in a holding pattern as it awaits word on the future availability of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion). Tyler Huntley will again guide the NFL’s lowest-scoring offense on the road. The Dolphins’ output of 3, 12 and 15 points in the full games Tagovailoa sat out was two steps back from the juggernaut that averaged almost 30 per game last season. Standout receivers Tyreek Hill (23 catches, 286 yards, TD) and Jaylen Waddle (21-258-0) are taking a hit during the offensive upheaval. Last season, the two players combined for 191 receptions, 2,813 yards and 17 scoring receptions. Miami did have Raheem Mostert on the field for the first time in four weeks when he rushed for 80 yards against New England in Week 5. The Colts are experiencing their own quarterback quandary. Anthony Richardson (oblique) will start unless he has a setback but a number of Colts are hurting. WR Michael Pittman (back) played through severe pain last week — and caught a TD pass from Joe Flacco — and RB Jonathan Taylor (349 yards, four touchdowns) has missed the past two games due to an ankle injury.

Detroit Lions (4-1) at Minnesota Vikings (5-0), 1 p.m. ET
No matter the quarterback, Vikings WR Justin Jefferson isn’t the player the Lions want to see coming after losing their top pass rusher. Aidan Hutchinson (broken leg) was the league’s leader in sacks and without him, the Lions might need to dig deeper into their bag of tricks to move QB Sam Darnold out of the pocket. Jefferson has 140-plus yards in three consecutive dates with Detroit. In eight career games vs. the Lions, Jefferson has 62 catches for 1,073 yards (134.1 per game) and three TD catches. A Vikings’ win would be significant in the packed NFC North standings and give Minnesota its first 6-0 start since 2009. The Lions are clicking of late behind mistake-free QB Jared Goff. He’s going for his fourth consecutive win over the Vikings and has averaged 302 passing yards with six touchdowns and no picks in the past three meetings. His own alpha wide receiver, Amon-Ra St. Brown, had seven catches and 100-plu yards in both matchups with the Vikings last season. Lions coach Dan Campbell is 4-2 against the Vikings since he arrived in Detroit.

Philadelphia Eagles (3-2) at New York Giants (2-4), 1 p.m. ET
Saquon Barkley is back at MetLife Stadium and heads to the visitor’s locker room with the Eagles for the first time since exiting New York for Philadelphia in free agency. He’s looked the part of difference-maker with at least 115 yards from scrimmage in four of five games this season. A main obstacle to Philadelphia’s success inside is containing Pro Bowl DT Dexter Lawrence, who is tied for second in the NFL with 7.0 sacks and vowed not to miss this matchup despite being dinged up last week. The Giants are not well-suited to match up with the Eagles outside now that A.J. Brown is recovered from a hamstring injury. Brown and DeVonta Smith both hauled in TD passes from Jalen Hurts last week. Pass protection reemerged as a concern for the Giants when LT Andrew Thomas had season-ending foot surgery on Tuesday. It ended a stretch of more than 400 snaps together for the offensive line and introduces untested options into the starting mix. The Giants are getting production in the passing game from Jones and Wan’Dale Robinson, and first-round rookie Malik Nabers suits up for the first time in three weeks after clearing concussion protocol. Nabers could join a tiny group of receivers who had at least five catches in their first five career games (Terry Glenn, CeeDee Lamb, Puka Nacua).

Las Vegas Raiders (2-4) at Los Angeles Rams (1-4), 4:05 p.m. ET
Aside from a popularity contest — California still loves the Raiders — Sunday’s game matches a pair of teams off to disappointing starts with offenses in dire need of consistency and a few good men to play wide receiver. The Raiders and Rams are two of 11 NFL teams averaging fewer than 19 points per game. And the concerns are even more heightened on defense, where the Raiders are tied for fifth worst in the NFL at 27.2 points allowed per game, while the Rams are fourth worst at 27.8 per game. Rams QB Matthew Stafford has averaged 247.6 yards per game, 11th best in the NFL, but has just three touchdown passes in five games and has been sacked 16 times behind a makeshift line. The Raiders moved away from Gardner Minshew last week and went to Aidan O’Connell at quarterback against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 6. But Las Vegas had its second-lowest point total of the season in a 32-13 home loss. O’Connell is set to start again this week to guide an offense that has moved away from wide receiver Davante Adams, after he was traded to the New York Jets for a third-round draft pick. Adams played the first three games and caught 18 passes. Without him the past three games, rookie TE Brock Bowers had 19 receptions for 187 yards and one TD. Jakobi Meyers, considered the Raiders’ top wideout in Adams’ absence, did not play last Sunday with an ankle injury.

Carolina Panthers (1-5) at Washington Commanders (4-2), 4:05 p.m. ET
Dave Canales and the Panthers had a vision for what this season might look like for 2023 No. 1 pick Bryce Young, and it appears to be playing out — in Washington. Rookie QB Jayden Daniels has performed at what teammates dubbed this week “an MVP level,” steering Washington to the top of the NFC East in Dan Quinn’s debut season with the Commanders. Daniels’ 75.3 completion percentage is the second-highest all-time in the first six games of an NFL career (minimum 100 pass attempts). Young was bypassed by journeyman Andy Dalton at QB and the offense has performed well enough to hang around in most games. RB Chuba Hubbard is third in the NFL with 485 rushing yards. Getting the ball in the end zone isn’t a challenge for Washington, which averages 29.7 points per game. But the Panthers are putting up only 17.2 points per game. Daniels has connected with Terry McLaurin for a TD in four consecutive games while the combination of RBs Brian Robinson and Austin Ekeler and Daniels has helped Washington generate a dynamic running game, averaging 157.3 yards and more than two TDs per game.

Kansas City Chiefs (5-0) at San Francisco 49ers (3-3), 4:25 p.m. ET
49ers LB Fred Warner and head coach Kyle Shanahan were frank in their discussions about facing the Chiefs, who beat San Francisco in the Super Bowl in February (and in 2019), and QB Patrick Mahomes on Sunday. Mahomes is 4-0 with 1,356 pass yards (339 per game), 11 TDs (10 pass, one rush) with a passer rating of 104.6 against San Francisco. The Cliff’s Notes version of their outlook on the Week 7 matchup: Beating Mahomes can’t be done at the microphone. The 49ers are relatively rested coming back from a Week 6 Thursday night victory at Seattle, but the Chiefs are returning from their bye week. They’ve won five of the past six games coming out of the bye, and head coach Andy Reid is 21-4 all-time after byes. Kansas City got back to work this week with RB Kareem Hunt reinstalled as the lead back and the Chiefs leaning on a collective at wide receiver to help settle an offense prone to stalling in the red zone. Mahomes has six touchdowns and six interceptions in 2024. Production isn’t a problem for San Francisco. QB Brock Purdy has 1,629 passing yards and nine touchdowns with the 49ers developing a running game without RB Christian McCaffrey (Achilles). Jordan Mason (shoulder) left last week’s game only to see rookie Isaac Guerendo gain 99 yards on the ground.

New York Jets (2-4) at Pittsburgh Steelers (4-2), 8:20 p.m. ET
Davante Adams and Aaron Rodgers are together again, as the longtime Packers’ teammates debut with the Jets at Pittsburgh in prime time with little time to waste. The week before acquiring Adams the Jets fired their head coach, and falling to 2-5 could prompt more changes. The Steelers made waves of their own by opening the door for Russell Wilson to claim the QB job this week in what head coach Mike Tomlin framed as a declaration of health for the former Broncos and Seahawks starter. Justin Fields accepted responsibility for the demotion, saying he didn’t do enough to win the job while Wilson was hobbled. Pittsburgh’s defense might give Wilson time to settle in, as the Steelers give up just 14.3 points per game. LB Patrick Queen, in his first season in the middle of the 3-4 after playing for the Ravens, is becoming a major part of the machine and posted a season-high 13 tackles last week. He’ll have the responsibility of helping contain Jets RB Breece Hall (169 yards from scrimmage last week).

COLLEGE FOOTBALL NEWS

5-STAR DT ELIJAH GRIFFIN COMMITS TO IN-STATE GEORGIA

Five-star defensive lineman Elijah Griffin, the top uncommitted prospect in the 2025 class, announced Friday he will play at Georgia.

Coach Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs gained his commitment over finalists Miami and Southern California.

Griffin, who plays at Savannah (Ga.) Christian Prep, is the top defensive lineman and the No. 4 overall prospect in the class, per the 247Sports composite. His commitment gives Georgia three five-star commits, both from the state and both ranked as the No. 1 player at their position — edge Isaiah Gibson and linebacker Zayden Walker.

The Bulldogs had been recruiting Griffin since he was in the eighth grade. On Sept. 15, 2020, he posted on social media that he received his first offer from Georgia.

While the 6-foot-5, 285-pound Griffin visited Miami and USC in June, he saved his official visit to Georgia for last weekend.

Still, Georgia long had been considered the frontrunner.

“I have been to Georgia so many times and I know what I want in a program and I know what I am looking for. Georgia has answered those questions to be honest,” he told On3 earlier this year.

Per 247Sports, Griffin entered his senior season with 69 tackles for loss and 35.5 sacks.

JAKE RETZLAFF’S LATE TD PASS LIFTS NO. 13 BYU PAST OKLAHOMA STATE

Jake Retzlaff hit Darius Lassiter with a 35-yard touchdown pass with 10 seconds left Friday night as No. 13 BYU stayed undefeated with a 38-35 Big 12 Conference win over visiting Oklahoma State in Provo, Utah.

The Cougars (7-0, 4-0) trailed 35-31 with 1:13 remaining when Alan Bowman hit Brennan Presley with a 6-yard scoring strike. But Retzlaff led a 75-yard drive, capped by his second touchdown pass of the night.

Retzlaff was 13 of 26 for 218 yards with two interceptions, both quashing possible scoring drives in the first half. LJ Martin rushed 20 times for 120 yards and two touchdowns, while Lassiter bagged six receptions for 129 yards.

Bowman, who relieved injured starter Garrett Rangel late in the first half, was 11 of 19 for 85 yards with an interception. Ollie Gordon gained 107 yards on 16 carries, his first 100-yard game of the year.

The Cowboys (3-4, 0-4) lost their fourth consecutive game.

The pregame storyline concerned Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy’s decision to bench Bowman, who had been pulled from two of the last three games, in favor of Rangel.

The new starter came in with a 7-0 deficit as BYU ripped down the field to begin the game, with Retzlaff scoring on a 4-yard run just over three minutes into the contest. The Cowboys responded five plays later on Gordon’s 50-yard touchdown run, the longest play of the year against the Cougars.

Martin gave BYU a 14-7 advantage with 14:01 left in the half on a 1-yard run, one play after Tanner Ford intercepted Rangel and returned it 47 yards. But Oklahoma State bounced back as Rangel led a 10-play drive that culminated in his 17-yard touchdown pass to Gordon.

Gordon’s third score of the half, a 2-yard run with 32 seconds remaining, enabled the Cowboys to take a 21-14 advantage to intermission.

DUKE USES DEFENSE TO NOTCH FIRST-EVER WIN AGAINST FLORIDA STATE

Chandler Rivers’ interception return for a touchdown highlighted Duke’s strong defensive performance Friday night as the Blue Devils defeated Florida State for the first time, winning 23-16 at Durham, N.C.

Star Thomas ran for 88 yards and a touchdown and Todd Pelino kicked three field goals for Duke (6-1, 2-1 Atlantic Coast Conference), which had lost all 22 previous meetings with Florida State.

The Seminoles (1-6, 1-5) outgained the Blue Devils 291-180 in total yards but sputtered late as their miserable season continued. Florida State reached Duke territory on its last two possessions, which ended with a fumble and failed fourth-down play.

Samuel Singleton Jr. returned the second half kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown to pull the Seminoles within 17-13. Pelino made it 20-13 on his 44-yard field goal in the third quarter and added a 39-yarder to put the hosts up 23-16 with 8:58 remaining.

Florida State moved to the Blue Devils’ 37-yard line on its ensuing possession before Kam Davis fumbled. The Seminoles got the ball back at their own 41 with 2:41 left but eventually failed on fourth-and-24 from their own 48.

Quarterback Brock Glenn was benched after he committed turnovers on three straight Florida State snaps in the first half. He returned late in the third quarter, finishing 9-for-19 for 110 yards and two interceptions for the Seminoles. Backup Luke Kromenhoek was 3-for-7 for 19 yards.

Maalik Murphy was 12-for-24 for 70 yards for Duke.

The Blue Devils punted on their first four possessions before Rivers stepped in front of Florida State receiver Jalen Brown for an interception and raced 36 yards untouched to the end zone to put the hosts up 7-3.

Glenn fumbled on the next snap, with Duke taking over at the Seminoles’ 36. Thomas later scored from 2 yards out on a fourth-and-1 run.

Ozzie Nicholas’ interception led to Pelino’s 27-yard field goal with 10 minutes left in the first half. Ryan Fitzgerald’s 53-yarder with 1:46 remaining cut the deficit to 17-6.

Fitzgerald opened the scoring with a 23-yard field goal and pulled Florida State within 20-16 on a 38-yarder early in the fourth.

COLLEGE BASKETBALL NEWS

TONY BENNETT CITES NIL AND TRANSFER PORTAL ERA AS REASON HE’S SUDDENLY RETIRING AT VIRGINIA

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — Describing himself as “a square peg in a round hole,” a tearful Tony Bennett said Friday he suddenly retired from coaching at Virginia because he wasn’t suited to navigate the current landscape of college basketball.

Bennett — dressed in his signature suit-minus-tie look — told those gathered at his exit news conference that name, image and likeness money and the transfer portal have brought elements to the job that he’s “not great at.”

“I looked at myself and I realized, I’m no longer the best coach to lead this program,” Bennett said with athletic director Carla Williams seated next to him. “If you’re going to do it, you’ve got to be all in. You’ve got to have everything. And if you do it half-hearted, it’s not fair to the university and those young men. That’s what made me step down.”

Bennett famously led Virginia to the 2019 national championship a year after becoming the first team downed by a 16-seed in the NCAA Tournament.

He is the latest — and, at 55 years old — youngest high-profile coach to walk away citing a measure of burnout with the modern realities of the profession. That list includes former Villanova coach Jay Wright, who retired two years ago at 60.

“The game and college athletics is not in a healthy spot,” Bennett said. “And there needs to be change. I think I was equipped to do the job here the old way. That’s who I am and that’s how it was. My staff has buoyed me along to get to this point, but there needs to be change.”

Former assistant Ron Sanchez, who rejoined the program last season, will take over as interim coach. Williams said a national search for Bennett’s replacement will begin shortly, but Bennett is hopeful Sanchez will perform well enough to land the full-time post.

Williams said Bennett told her of his decision on Wednesday morning, though she noted that the two had discussed the possibility at times over the past three years.

“I believe he is equipped to do the job, but as he said to all of you, he has to have his whole heart in it,” Williams said, her cheeks still stained with tears shed during Bennett’s remarks. “He is the embodiment of humility, because he could keep doing this and not have his heart in it, but it takes more courage to say, ‘I’m not the person for it.’”

As for the stunning timing of his retirement, less than three weeks before the team’s Nov. 6 opener against Campbell, Bennett said he thought seriously about stepping away immediately after the past season concluded with a First Four loss to Colorado State in Dayton, Ohio.

The Cavaliers struggled offensively in that game and haven’t won an NCAA Tournament game since the 2019 title matchup.

But, because the current recruiting calendar required him to immediately go to work evaluating potential transfers, Bennett said he never fully took the time to consider his situation.

He said he was excited about the players the program signed, about the new offense he was installing and about the prospects for the upcoming season. He felt, then, sufficiently energized to sign a long-term extension with Virginia, though he acknowledged it was never likely he would’ve lasted the full term of the deal, which ran out in six years.

Then, finally, there was a break in his hectic schedule. He and his wife, Laurel, took a trip during UVa’s fall break, giving the couple the chance to process and contemplate the future.

“That’s where I kind of came to the realization that I can’t do this,” Bennett said, becoming overcome by emotion. “It’s not fair to these guys, and to this institution that I love so much, to continue on when you know you’re not the right guy for the job.”

Bennett’s current players and staff stood toward the back of the room Friday, listening as he spoke.

“I’m happy for him,” said former player Isaiah Wilkins, now an assistant coach with the program. “I see he’s at peace. I think he knows himself well and obviously it’s a family decision.”

With the person who hired Bennett, former Virginia athletic director Craig Littlepage, looking on, Bennett talked about his pride in the way he and his staff built the Cavaliers into one of the nation’s most successful programs. Littlepage hired Bennett in 2009 following three strong seasons at Washington State.

After a 15-16 record his first year at UVa, Bennett went on to post 14 straight winning seasons.

He posted a 364-136 mark at the school, leading the program to two ACC Tournament titles, six ACC regular-season championships and 10 NCAA Tournament appearances. Bennett was named ACC Coach of the Year in 2014, 2015, 2018 and 2019.

“I didn’t envision, in 15 years, what it would be like,” Littlepage said. “I was thinking more in the short term. ‘We’ve gotta get this thing going and knew that would take a couple of years.’ … He had the pedigree. He had the understanding of the college game. He came to understand the University of Virginia in short order. There was no question he was going to have success.”

Long-derided by many national media types for his unusually slow tempo of play and defense-first – and second and third – mentality, Bennett’s first-round NCAA Tournament loss to UMBC in 2018 gave ample fuel to his critics, creating a chorus questioning whether his pack-line defense was built to win championships.

Bennett, in his signature way, handled the loss with grace and promised his heartbroken players that it would be “a ticket to someplace they couldn’t go without it.”

The following season, after a dramatic run through the NCAA Tournament, Bennett and the Cavaliers cut down the nets in Minneapolis, having topped Texas Tech and claimed the school’s first national title.

“I’ve been here for 15 years as the head coach, and I thought it would be a little longer, to be honest, but that’s been on loan,” Bennett said. “It wasn’t mine to keep. This position has been on loan, and it’s time for me to give it back.”

WNBA NEWS

DALLAS WINGS FIRE COACH LATRICIA TRAMMELL AFTER 2 SEASONS

The Dallas Wings fired coach Latricia Trammell on Friday.

Trammell went 31-49 in two seasons with the Dallas Wings, including 2-3 in playoff appearances. This past season the team went 9-31 and missed the WNBA postseason for the first time since 2020.

“After an extensive review of our basketball operations department, which included interviews and conversations with stakeholders across our organization, I have made the decision to relieve Latricia Trammell of her head coaching duties with the Dallas Wings,” said the team’s President and CEO Greg Bibb. “On behalf of our entire organization I thank Latricia for her efforts and wish her well moving forward.”

The Wings will also look to hire a general manager for the first time. Bibb handled the GM duties in the past.

“As part of our year-end review process, and in conjunction with our organizational long-term strategic planning, I have decided to expand and strengthen our basketball operations through the hiring of a general manager who will oversee the day-to-day operation of our basketball group,” said Bibb. “The search for this individual has already begun and I hope to have more news on this hire soon. The general manager will lead the search for the next head coach of the Dallas Wings.”

Trammell is the fourth coach to be let go in the last month. She joined Curt Miller of Los Angeles, Tanisha Wright of Atlanta and Teresa Weatherspoon of Chicago. None of the four had more than three years at the organization.

Dallas has the second best chance to win the draft lottery behind Los Angeles and the Wings also own the rights to switch picks with Chicago. The Sky are also in the draft lottery that will be held on Nov. 17.

Wings stars Natasha Howard and Satou Sabally are both unrestricted free agents this offseason.

LYNX SNEAK BY LIBERTY TO FORCE GAME 5

MINNEAPOLIS — Bridget Carleton sank a pair of free throws with 2.0 seconds remaining and the Minnesota Lynx held on for an 82-80 win over the New York Liberty in Game 4 of the WNBA Finals on Friday night.

Kayla McBride scored 19 points to lead the Lynx, who staved off elimination and evened the best-of-five series at two wins apiece. Napheesa Collier flirted with a double-double, collecting 14 points and nine rebounds.

The series will shift to New York for a winner-take-all Game 5 on Sunday night.

Jonquel Jones scored 21 points and pulled down eight rebounds for New York, which remains one win away from its first-ever championship. Leonie Fiebich scored 19 points, and Breanna Stewart finished with 11 points and 11 boards.

The score was even at 80 after Jones converted a three-point play with 1:10 remaining.

Lynx guard Courtney Williams missed a jump shot in the final seconds, but Carleton grabbed an offensive rebound and drew a foul. She then put the Lynx on top by two from the free-throw line.

Sabrina Ionescu had a chance at a game-winning shot moments later, but she missed from 35 feet out to send the series to a decisive fifth game.

Minnesota held on to a 64-63 lead at the end of the third quarter.

New York went on an 11-0 run to transform a 55-50 deficit into a 61-55 edge with 4:07 remaining in the third quarter. Stewart finished the run with a long jump shot from just inside the 3-point line.

Alanna Smith scored five of the next six points as the Lynx battled back to even the score at 61-all with 2:34 to go. Carleton finished the quarter with a pair of free throws to give the Lynx a one-point lead heading into the final 10 minutes.

Minnesota led 46-45 at the end of the first half.

Williams and McBride had back-to-back three-point plays to account for a 6-0 run for Minnesota late in the first half. McBride brought the crowd to its feet when she drove to the rim for a layup and added a free throw with 56.6 seconds left.

Fiebich made a hard-nosed layup on the other end of the court to cut New York’s deficit to one point before the break.

NASCAR NEWS

STAKES ARE HIGH AS ROUND OF 8 ROLLS INTO VEGAS

With four races left, the NASCAR Cup Series continues its nationwide trek back and forth across four time zones, anxious to award a championship a month from now.

The miles are adding up and time is quickly running out.

This Sunday the series makes its second stop at Las Vegas Motor Speedway with the South Point 400 representing the first of three races in the Round of 8.

Last week’s finish at the Charlotte Motor Speedway’s Roval appeared to have all four Hendrick Motorsports teams advancing after Kyle Larson’s elimination-race win — his series-best sixth triumph, twice as many as anyone else.

However, when post-race inspections concluded a few hours after Larson’s No. 5 Chevrolet again sped across the finish line as the top dog at the sport’s home track, his teammate Alex Bowman was disqualified due to his No. 48 Camaro being too light.

Moved to last place in the 38-car field, Bowman was bounced outside the top eight, while Team Penske’s Joey Logano was bumped up to the eighth spot and will continue his quest for a third Cup title.

Hendrick vice chairman Jeff Gordon, a four-time champion and winner of 93 races over 25 years of Cup racing, said the organization was fully at fault for what befell Bowman and no appeal was necessary.

“Pretty embarrassed by it and very disappointing after what was looking like a historical day and one of the most exciting days that we’ve had at the race track, being a home race and everything and celebrating in Victory Lane and all four, and that all got wiped away,” Gordon said Tuesday on SiriusXM NASCAR Radio.

“So we looked at all the facts, and we didn’t feel like there was really anything that we felt comfortable appealing, and we’re going to move on.”

Strange occurrences transpire when a crown is at stake.

This appears to be just a mistake by Hendrick Motorsports because Bowman was in on points after Talladega, sitting fourth at plus-26 and likely advancing to the next round a week later.

However, 11 years ago, Hendrick’s star Gordon was the beneficiary of shenanigans that eventually led to the demise of Michael Waltrip Racing.

At the Richmond cutoff race in the final 10 laps to set the field for 2013’s 12-car Chase for the Sprint Cup, MWR’s Clint Bowyer, locked into the playoffs, appeared to spin intentionally.

That action brought out a caution and allowed MWR teammates Martin Truex Jr. and Brian Vickers to move up in the points and join the dozen title pursuers.

The finish knocked out Gordon and Ryan Newman, but NASCAR soon deemed Bowyer’s looping of his Toyota intentional. It then put Gordon and Newman into the title chase, and Logano also advanced because of the late caution in what became known as “Spingate.”

Now, Logano is back in the hunt over a decade later.

And that’s bad news for the other seven championship chasers.

While Larson has won three of the past seven races at Vegas, Logano has claimed one of the other four and is a three-time victor in the desert.

The No. 22 Team Penske driver also has two championships and has a stout resume on the remaining speedways.

With another Cup champion reinserted into the Round of 8 mix, it’s clear the stakes in Vegas are for high-rollers only.

GOLF NEWS

WIND-DELAYED DAY IN LAS VEGAS LEAVES TAYLOR PENDRITH STILL IN LEAD

Taylor Pendrith will take a one-shot lead into the weekend at the Shriners Children’s Open in Las Vegas, but the second round is far from finished.

The start of the second round was delayed by four hours Friday morning due to high wind gusts at TPC Summerlin. Fans were also prohibited from entering the grounds in the interest of safety. When play was suspended due to darkness at 6:02 local time, just seven hours of golf had been played and some groups had completed only one hole.

Play is scheduled to resume at 7:15 a.m. Saturday.

Pendrith fired a 10-under-par 61 on Thursday and went out in the afternoon wave Friday. He opened with a bogey and got the stroke back right away with a birdie at the par-4 second hole. Four straight pars later, he was headed to the clubhouse.

Rico Hoey of the Philippines is alone in second at 9 under. He followed an opening 64 by going 2 under through his first seven holes Friday — a back-nine adventure that included a double bogey, two birdies and an eagle at the par-5 16th.

Four players have completed their first two rounds in 8-under 134: Doug Ghim (70 Friday), J.J. Spaun (69), Davis Thompson (68) and Kurt Kitayama (68). J.T. Poston is tied with them for third, having played just five holes of his second round.

The projected cut line is 2 under par but subject to move throughout the rest of the round when it resumes Saturday. Two-time defending champion Tom Kim of South Korea is in danger of missing that cut after shooting 69-72 for a total of 1 under.

RETIEF GOOSEN LEADS DOMINION ENERGY CHARITY CLASSIC

Retief Goosen of South Africa drained his seventh birdie of the day at the 18th hole to take the first-round lead at the Dominion Energy Charity Classic on Friday in Richmond, Va.

Goosen heads to the weekend with a one-stroke lead over five players following his 6-under-par 66 at the Country Club of Virginia. Stewart Cink, Steve Flesch, Paul Goydos, Heath Slocum and Australian Greg Chalmers all shot 5-under 67.

The tournament is the first leg of the Charles Schwab Cup Playoffs. The top two players in the points race, South African Ernie Els and Australian Steven Alker, both opened with a 1-under 71.

Goosen, meanwhile, began the week in 18th place and would rocket into sixth with a victory. Only the top 54 players after this event qualify for next week’s tournament.

Goosen, 55, holed birdies at five of his first seven holes before a bogey at the par-5 ninth and a birdie at No. 11. Then he went quiet till the par-5 18th, where his medium-length birdie putt snaked into the cup.

“Today was a few disappointing ones on the back nine, but yeah, the one on 18 is a bonus,” Goosen said. “Yeah, the putter helped me out today, I made a lot of good putts, especially in the first few holes. Had to scramble here and there, but yeah, it’s nice to get a good round under the belt for a change.”

Cink, 51, snagged his first win on the PGA Tour Champions in August and entered the week No. 14 in the Schwab Cup race. This marks his first time playing a playoff event on the 50-and-older circuit.

“It’s not easy. The players out here, they’re in the fields for a reason,” Cink said. “You have to produce high quality golf for quite a long time in your career to be able to make it into these fields and have a career on PGA Tour Champions. … They don’t forget how to close the door when they get in the hunt. They don’t forget how to close the door on a good round and finish it off.”

Goydos was the only player in the tie for second to shoot a bogey-free round.

Tim Petrovic is alone in seventh at 4-under 68.

(COLTS RELEASE)

COLTS-DOLPHINS PREVIEW: ANTHONY RICHARDSON RETURNS, COLTS’ DEFENSE EYES CHALLENGE AGAINST TYREEK HILL, JAYLEN WADDLE

After two weeks on the sidelines, Anthony Richardson will return behind center for the Colts’ Week 7 tilt against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday at Lucas Oil Stadium.

“I’m just excited to play football again,” Richardson said. “I’m going to take advantage of my opportunity.”

Taking advantage of this opportunity means picking up where Richardson left off in Week 4. Before exiting the Colts’ win over the Pittsburgh Steelers with an oblique injury, Richardson was “on fire,” as head coach Shane Steichen said, completing three of four passes for 71 yards. After some uneven performances in Weeks 1-3, Richardson ripped throws with authority against the Steelers, offering a glimpse of the potential he and the Colts are working to tap into this season.

Now that he’s back after a two-game absence, the Colts are confident Richardson can extrapolate what he did against Pittsburgh over an entire game. Coaches and teammates were pleased with the work Richardson put in behind the scenes to prepare for his eventual return and felt he would’ve been mentally ready to play if he were physically able over the last couple weeks.

“He was playing really good ball early in that game,” offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter said. “Shoot, we’re excited to watch him play really good ball again here soon hopefully. He’s been putting in really good work. Good work leads to good play. That’s the nature of this league. It’s practice, it’s meetings, it’s work on an off day like today. That’s what I’ve learned in the NFL at this level – to play good on Sunday, you’ve got to earn that Monday through Saturday and Anthony’s doing that. He’s putting in the work. I’m excited to see him get that to pay off for him on Sunday, hopefully here soon.”

Richardson on Sunday will be challenged by a Dolphins defense that’s had a little boom or bust to it through the early part of 2024 under first-year defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver.

Miami enters Week 7 allowing explosive passes (gains of 15 or more yards) at the third-highest rate in the NFL (16.8 percent), yet they lead the NFL with a pressure rate on 42 percent of opponent dropbacks. Weaver has leaned into simulated pressure looks designed to confuse opposing quarterbacks (four defenders rushing the quarterback, but often with linebackers/defensive linemen unexpectedly dropping into coverage) at the third-highest rate in the NFL, per Pro Football Focus; Miami’s linebackers have generated pressure on 28.6 percent of their pass rushing snaps, also third-highest in the NFL.

Communication between Richardson and his offensive line will be key in identifying blitz looks and keeping him upright; Miami has allowed an explosive passing play on 23 percent of their defensive plays on which they haven’t pressured the quarterback, the highest rate in the NFL.

“They’ve got great players,” Steichen said. “They disguise pretty well. They move around pretty quick. They fly to the ball. So, we’ve got to make sure we execute our part and just take advantage of the opportunity that they give us.”

Against the run, the Dolphins’ defense is allowing 4.7 yards per carry – 23rd in the NFL – largely fueled by giving up 3.9 yards after contact per rush, the highest rate in the NFL.

When the Dolphins have the ball

With starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) on injured reserve, the Dolphins will start backup Tyler Huntley for the third time this year. Miami signed Huntley off the Baltimore Ravens’ practice squad on Sept. 16, two weeks later, his made his season debut in an ugly Monday night loss to the Tennessee Titans. He wasn’t much better a week later, though the Dolphins topped the New England Patriots in a 15-10 rock fight.

Over his two starts, Huntley is 32/53 (60.4 percent) for 209 yards (5.5 yards/attempt) with no touchdowns, one interception, a passer rating of 67.3 and 11 carries for 47 yards with a rushing score. Star wide receivers Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle have combined for 18 catches and 164 yards with Huntley throwing them the ball.

The Colts aren’t reading anything into those numbers, though. For starters: They’re catching Miami after its bye week, which could be a prime opportunity for head coach Mike McDaniel to find solutions for Huntley and his speedy, explosive offense.

“I think that helps, right? Obviously, without having your starter in – a guy that has played a couple games, just honing in on the details of that offense,” Steichen said. “(Huntley’s) a guy that can make plays. He runs around, he can make plays with his feet, he can make plays scrambling too. So, to get that bye week under his belt I think will be beneficial for him.”

Additionally, the Colts can lean on some perspective from safety Julian Blackmon, a college teammate of Huntley’s at Utah who cautions the Dolphins’ quarterback is much better than his numbers may suggest.

“He’s a good quarterback,” Blackmon said. “He’s more of an extender – he can extend plays. He’s really good when he can get the ball out of his hands quick, but he can also extend plays. He’s one of those guys where you gotta just be on it everywhere, whether it’s rush lanes or pass coverage, we all gotta be sound.

“… You can’t read into it – realizing what they’ve done isn’t what they could do against us. They’re coming off a bye, and at quarterback, whether they had 10 percent of their offense in or not, going into this week, we can expect that he has been able to comprehend some things that Tua was doing. We just gotta expect they can come out with things we were seeing previously before Tua got hurt.”

The Dolphins are also tracking to have their full stable of lightning-fast running backs available for the first time since Week 1, with De’Von Achane (7.8 yards/attempt, eight touchdowns in 2023) likely returning from a concussion and Raheem Mostert (1,012 yards, 18 touchdowns in 2023) appearing in his third game this season. Miami also added rookie Jaylen Wright, who ran a 4.38-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, in this year’s NFL Draft.

There’s speed everywhere on this Dolphins team, and no matter how things have looked over the first few weeks of the season, the Colts’ defense knows if they aren’t disciplined, Miami’s offense can turn a three-yard gain into a touchdown from anywhere on the field.

“I think Mike (McDaniel) does a hell of a job scheming that stuff up,” Steichen said. “So we’ve got to play like we talked about last week – it’s fundamentals, it’s details. We’ve got to be physical and we’ve got to tackle for sure.”

INDIANA MEN’S SOCCER

HOOSIERS HANDLE SPARTANS FOR YEAGLEY’S 200TH INDIANA VICTORY

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — On top of a fourth consecutive victory and three points in the conference race, most of all Indiana men’s soccer (7-3-5, 5-1-2 B1G) celebrated head coach Todd Yeagley’s 200th victory as leader of the program Friday (Oct. 18) night on Jerry Yeagley Field at Bill Armstrong Stadium.

Since 2010 – his first season as head coach of IU men’s soccer – Yeagley is the winningest coach in NCAA Division I men’s soccer. In that time, he has led Indiana to a national title – in 2012 – and 10 Big Ten Championships.

Yeagley’s team stretched its unbeaten streak to seven games with a 3-1 win over Michigan State (5-6-2, 4-3-0 B1G). Graduate forward Justin Weiss’ third goal in two games and senior midfielder Patrick McDonald’s penalty gave Indiana a 2-0 lead after 40 minutes before the Spartans answered with a penalty of their own. Six minutes into the second half, senior forward Samuel Sarver restored the two-goal lead with a long-distance strike.

For the moment, Indiana sits atop the Big Ten standings with 17 points through eight conference games played. Maryland (16 points) and Ohio State (13) are heavy contenders, both having played six matches in league play.

KEY MOMENTS

• 22′ – Weiss opened the scoring from a throw-in as senior defender Jansen Miller nodded junior defender Quinton Elliot’s long toss across goal and into Weiss’ path. The forward stuck his left foot out and punched the ball into the back of the net.

• 40′ – A Weiss shot deflected off the hand of a Michigan State defender inside the box, winning a penalty for Indiana. McDonald banged it down the middle from the spot as the goalkeeper dove right.

• 42′ – McDonald was on the wrong side of a penalty call moments later as a cross hit his upper arm. Play resumed, but the penalty was given after review. Junior midfielder Cristiano Bruletti converted the try and cut IU’s lead in half.

• 51′ – Sarver worked a defender into the box, used Elliot’s run alongside him to cause the defender to hesitate and fired from the corner of the box, through the keeper’s fingertips and into the far corner.

• 64′ – Senior goalkeeper JT Harms made a save diving to his left to keep the two-goal lead intact. Harms totaled four saves in the match.

NOTABLES

• Yeagley previously celebrated 200 career victories following last season’s Sweet 16 win at Virginia. Yeagley won seven games in 2009 during his lone season at Wisconsin before returning to Indiana as head coach the next year.

• During its seven-game unbeaten streak, in which the Hoosiers have a 5-0-2 record, IU has scored 20 goals – an average of 2.86 goals per game. The 3-1 victory extends Indiana’s run of multi-goal performances to seven matches, its longest such streak since 2001.

• Amidst that run, Indiana is 5-0-1 during the month of October. Over the last four years, Indiana is 22-4-6 (.781) in the month of October. IU owns a 313-56-41 (.813) October record all-time.

• Indiana’s 5-1-2 Big Ten record is its best through eight games since its 2019 and 2020-21 Big Ten regular season championship seasons, when it posted 7-1-0 league marks. IU won a share of the title with a 4-2-2 record last season.

• Michigan State’s penalty kick goal snapped IU’s run of 276 minutes without conceding after consecutive shutouts of Penn State and Michigan.

• Indiana has scored from a throw-in in three consecutive matches.

• Weiss scored his third goal in two matches after opening his IU account Tuesday night at Michigan. Weiss and Sarver both recorded goal No. 22 of their careers, matching senior forward Tommy Mihalic as the team’s active career scoring leaders.

• Sarver’s goal comes as his fourth G/A in as many games. The senior had two assists in the Michigan match and another helper a week before versus Kentucky.

• Miller, the reigning Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week, tallied his third assist in four games.

• Elliot has three G/A in two games after scoring a goal and providing an assist in Tuesday’s match.

UP NEXT

Indiana will travel cross country for its final Big Ten road match as the Hoosiers are set to face Big Ten Conference newcomer UCLA Friday (Oct. 25) night in Los Angeles. The meeting matches up NCAA Division I men’s soccer’s winningest programs by wins (UCLA – 1,027) and by percentage (Indiana – .773). Kickoff is set for 10:30 p.m. ET, and fans can watch the match on the Big Ten Network.

INDIANA VOLLEYBALL

VOLLEYBALL CENTRAL: PURDUE

BLOOMINGTON, Ind.  –  The grind of the conference slate will take the Indiana Volleyball team (9-8, 2-5 B1G) to new heights on Saturday evening. IU will be part of a Big Ten indoor regular season record crowd as it visits Mackey Arena (14,876) at 7:00 PM on the Big Ten Network.

The match will serve as the Monon Spike Trophy contest. IU, the current holders of the traveling trophy, last won a road spike game in 2002. Overall, IU has lost 14-straight matches in West Lafayette. All-American middle blocker Ashley Benson led the Hoosiers to their last away win in the series in 2009.

IU is looking to break a three-game losing streak in conference play, its longest losing streak in Big Ten contests since 2022. The Hoosiers will end their run of three of four contests on the road on Saturday night. IU’s last three losses were all against top-30 RPI teams.

There will be 15 natives of Indiana on display Saturday night. Purdue leads the way with eight prep players from the Hoosier state while IU has an additional seven. Each libero (Ali Hornung – Purdue and Ramsey Gary – Indiana) is from Indiana while all four All-Americans in the game (Purdue – 3, Indiana – 1) are natives of the home state.

Sophomore libero Ramsey Gary has been at an outstanding level since the calendar flipped to conference play in September. She’s averaging a league best 4.60 digs per set in IU’s seven conference games and has added any additional 24 assists on out of system balls. Purdue’s Ali Hornung is third in the league in conference action with 4.24 digs per set.

Junior outside hitter Candela Alonso-Corcelles is on a run of six-straight contests with at least 10 kills. She’s averaging 4.33 kills per set in her last five matches. She needs some help offensively. IU hasn’t had another player record 10 kills since Mady Saris’ 16 against Ohio State (Oct. 6).

Saturday night’s contest will have a first serve of 7:00 PM from West Lafayette. Chris Vosters (PxP) and Emily Ehman (Color) will have the call on Big Ten Network.

Live Video: t.ly/7fEB8

Live Stats: t.ly/xe6Rd

Stat Notes

• Junior outside hitter Candela Alonso-Corcelles has turned into one of the finest pin hitters in the entire conference. She’s one of 12 players in the league with at least 3.50 kill per set. She’s also tallied 117 digs, 22 blocks and 18 aces this year.

• IU is one of two schools in the league (Michigan) with a setter (Camryn Haworth) averaging more than 10.00 assists per set and a libero (Ramsey Gary) with over 4.00 digs per set. Haworth is also sixth in the conference in total service aces (31) while playing tough competition to start the year.

• Ramsey Gary has quietly had an outstanding sophomore year for the Hoosiers. She is second in the conference at 4.22 digs per set and is first among liberos with a 96.7 reception rate. In conference games only, Gary is averaging a league best 4.60 digs per set.

Notable

National Spotlight

• IU continues its streak of games on national television with a Saturday night volleyball contest at No. 10 Purdue (7:00 PM, BTN). The Hoosiers will play a total of four-straight matches on television, a streak that began with Wednesday’s loss at Illinois.

• The Hoosiers are also amidst their toughest stretch of the entire season. Beginning with a match at No. 14 Minnesota last Friday, IU will play five-straight matches against teams in the top-30 in the RPI. It was swept on the road by Minnesota and Illinois and took No. 3 Penn State to the brink at Wilkinson Hall.

Brilliant Home Environment

• The Hoosiers got off to a 7-0 start at Wilkinson Hall in 2024 after a pair wins over Michigan State and Ohio State. The 7-0 start, which ended after a tight loss to No. 3 Penn State, was the best start to a home campaign in program history. Over the past two seasons, IU is 17-4 inside the confines of its home gym. Three of those four losses were to top-5 teams.

This Rivalry is Always Close

• While Purdue has had the clear all-time advantage in the series, the two programs always play close matches. Since head coach Steve Aird took over in 2018, he’s taken Purdue to the brink on multiple occasions and is looking to close out more of the matches.

5-Set Matches Against Purdue Under Aird

» 8: of 12 matches under head coach Aird have been more than three sets

The Monon Spike

• Saturday’s contest at Mackey Arena will serve as the Monon Spike game for the season. The yearly trophy game rotates between the two hosts site with IU winning the trophy in Bloomington in 2023. IU had gone 16 years between winning the trophy game. It has won the game just four times since the turn of the century.

A Chance to End a Long Streak

• One of IU’s longer road losing streaks in the Big Ten, IU has dropped 14-consecutive matches in West Lafayette. The Hoosiers last won there in 2009 when Ashley Benson helped stave off a reverse sweep with a 15-13 win in game five.

1,000 Kills for Saris

• Mady Saris tallied five kills at No. 14 Minnesota on Friday (Oct. 11) night to reach 1,000 kills for her fantastic college career. She became the 20th player in IU history to hit the threshold and is the first since Breana Edwards (2021) to do so.

Haworth Chases 200

• Indiana setter Camryn Haworth has been of the most prolific servers in Big Ten rally-era history over the past four seasons. Haworth (195) will become the third or fourth Big Ten player in rally-era history (since 2001) to record 200 career aces. She will join Micha Hancock (339, Penn State) and Emily Danks (230, Ohio State) and Raina Terry (Illinois) in the club.

Scouting the Opponent

Purdue (14-4, 5-2 B1G)

• The Boilermakers have spent a majority of the season in the top-15. They’ve already beaten No. 10 Kentucky and No. 16 Minnesota this season. All four of Purdue’s losses are against top-10 opposition.

• Eva Hudson and Chloe Chicoine form one of the best outside hitter duos in the entire country. Hudson averages 4.25 kills per set and is hitting .277 from the left side, one of the best marks in the NCAA for outside hitters. Both players play six rotations and are outstanding defensive players.

• Taylor Anderson has turned into one of the best all-around setters in the country. She averages 10.87 assists per set and is also the best blocking setter in the conference. The Texas native has 65 total blocks on the season and contributes to Purdue’s 2.87 team blocks per set.

• Middle blocker Raven Colvin, a four-year starter, is having a brilliant senior campaign. She’s the league’s best blocker with 112 total stuffs (1.67 per set). She’s averaging 2.63 kills per set out of the middle and is hitting .415 on the campaign.

Inside the Series

Purdue

• The Boilermakers have dominated the all-time series, picking up a clear edge after Dave Shondell took over the program in 2003. Purdue leads the all-time series 77-35 but has won 38 of the past 42 contests. IU is just 11-40 all-time against Purdue in West Lafayette.

PURDUE FOOTBALL

PURDUE DOWNED BY #2 OREGON

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – The Purdue football team fell to No. 2 Oregon 35-0 at Ross-Ade Stadium on Friday night.

Kyndrich Breedlove recorded his third interception of the season and tied for the game lead with a career-high eight tackles, including four solos. He picked off a deep pass from Oregon (7-0, 4-0 B1G) quarterback Dillon Gabriel in the second quarter.

Yanni Karlaftis also totaled eight tackles, including seven solos. Mo Omonode posted his first sack of the season, and Will Heldt added his fifth of the year.

On the offensive side, Purdue (1-6, 0-4 B1G) tallied a season-high 40 rushing attempts, running for 208 yards and a 5.2 average behind Reggie Love III’s 93 yards on 11 carries.

Purdue’s 202 rushing yards were the second-most allowed by the second-ranked Ducks so far this season. The Boilers broke 10 runs that went for 10 yards or more on the night.

Love, the senior from St. Louis, amassed a career-best 8.5 yards per carry (min. five attempts).

Ryan Browne made his second career start, completing 9 of 19 passes for 93 yards and rushing a game-high 14 times for 48 yards.

Devin Mockobee totaled 46 yards on 10 carries, good for a 4.6 average.

Max Klare again led the Boilers in receiving with 32 yards on three catches. It was the sophomore’s fifth time leading the team in receiving yardage this season.

After the Ducks’ three first drives resulted in touchdowns, the Boilermaker defense bowed up and stopped Oregon from scoring on six of their final eight drives.

Purdue racked up 301 yards of offense but was ultimately held scoreless on the evening.

Keelan Crimmins pinned two punts inside the 20, including one that was placed perfectly inside the Oregon one-yard line in the second quarter. He finished with four punts for 158 yards, an average of 39.5 yards per punt.

UP NEXT

The Boilermakers head into a bye week and will return to a sold out Ross-Ade Stadium on Saturday, Nov. 2, to face Northwestern on Military Appreciation Day. Both the start time and network are yet to be announced.

NOTRE DAME HOCKEY

HOCKEY DEFEATS NANOOKS FRIDAY, 4-1

SOUTH BEND, Ind. — The Irish improved to 3-0-0 to start the season after a convincing 4-1 victory over Alaska Friday night in the 2024-25 home-opener.

The Irish jumped out to the early lead when Cole Knuble net his team-best fourth goal of the season to give Notre Dame the 1-0 lead at 12:48 of the opening period.

Alaska was whistled for too many men late in the first period but the Irish could not convert on the man-advantage at the end of the frame.

The Irish carried over 43 seconds of powerplay opportunity into the second period but did not capitalize and maintained the 1-0 lead into the first few minutes of second period play.

Notre Dame extended their lead on a delayed penalty just under six minutes into the second period. Hunter Strand drew the penalty while crashing in on net and passed the puck out to the blue line to settle it. With Owen Say on the bench for an extra attacker before the puck was blown dead, Henry Nelson buried a feed from Michael Mastrodomenico for his first collegiate goal.

The Irish carried the 2-0 lead into the second intermission with the home team outshooting the visitors 29-13 through 40 minutes played.

Alaska got one back at 5:01 of the final frame but the Irish answered shortly after with Justin Janicke splitting defenders and lifting the puck over the blocker of the UAF netminder to make it 3-1 Irish.

Minutes later, Grant Silianoff scored his first goal of the season for the 4-1 final. The graduate buried a shot from the hashes with assists to Hunter Strand and Henry Nelson.

The Irish finished the night holding the edge in shots, 38-26, with Owen Say making 25 saves between the pipes.

KEY STATS

The Irish had four multi-point scorers Friday night, including sophomore Henry Nelson who had a goal and an assist.

After recording just one assist as a rookie a season ago, the elder Nelson scored his first collegiate goal in Friday’s victory before adding an assist for the two-point night. His goal which came on a delayed penalty at 5:41 of the second period was the eventual game-winner.

Cole Knuble and Justin Janicke also recorded a goal and an assist each to help lift the Irish to the win Friday night while Hunter Strand tallied two assists.

Both also hit above the team’s average, with Tyler connecting for a .452 (16-2-31) rate of success and Kennedy hitting .400 (10-2-20).

INDIANA STATE VOLLEYBALL

KENDALL REGISTERS CAREER-BEST OUTING IN SYCAMORES’ FOUR-SET DEFEAT

TERRE HAUTE, Ind. – Curry Kendall tallied a career and match-high 19 kills Friday night, but Missouri State spoiled the Sycamores’ return to ISU Arena in four sets (28-26, 15-25, 25-19, 25-14).

Kendall also added eight digs for the Trees, while Emma Kaelin recorded her team-leading sixth double-double of the season with 13 kills and a season-high 16 digs. Emily Weber registered a season-high 43 assists, while Macy Lengacher added 14 digs from the libero spot.

Indiana State got off to a strong start courtesy of kills from Kendall, Kaelin and Lily Mueller. Aces from Kendall and Weber, along with a kill from Ella Scott, kept the Trees in front by a pair in the early stages, and the Sycamoers extended their lead to 16-11 midway though following kills from Mueller, Kaelin and Kendall. Indiana State tacked on to its lead with kills from Weber and Kira Holland, but Missouri State came roaring back. The Bears overcame a seven-point Sycamore lead, and despite Kendall fending off multiple set points with kills, managed to win the opening set over Indiana State 28-26.

Kills from Scott, Kendall and Kaelin, along with a Macy Lengacher service ace, gave Indiana State an early 6-3 lead in set two, and the Sycamores kept up the momentum with kills from the same trio. Two kills apiece midway through the set from Holland and Kaelin, along with multiple Missouri State errors, further extended Indiana State’s lead to 16-8 midway through the set. Further kills from Kendall, Scott and Kaelin saw the Sycamores increase their lead to double-digits at 22-11, and the Trees kept their foot on the gas to close out the set. A block assist from Scott and Holland capped set two, as Indiana State leveled the score by taking the set 25-15.

Kendall opened set three with a kill, but Missouri State scored seven of the next nine points to go in front. The Sycamores worked their way back with a kill and an ace from Kaelin, and further kills from Holland and Weber pulled the Trees within a pair at 11-9. Holland got the Sycamores even closer with a kill to make it 12-11, but Indiana State couldn’t find the scoring run it needed to take the lead. Five kills between Kaelin and Kendall kept the Sycamores within a point late in the set, but a 4-0 run helped Missouri State take the third set by a 25-19 margin.

Early kills from Weber and Kendall kept the Trees on level footing early in set four, but things unraveled quickly after that. Missouri State went on an 8-0 run to take a commanding 14-4 lead and never looked back. Kendall tried to give the Sycamores life with four kills following the Bears’ scoring run, and Weber added a pair of kills in that span as well, but the Trees were unable to sustain any momentum in the back half of the set. Missouri State clinched the match by taking set four 25-14.

News and Notes

Curry Kendall’s 19 kills were the most by an Indiana State player in a match this season, and represented her third match with double-digit kills this season.

Emma Kaelin’s double-double was her sixth of the season and the 23rd of her career, both of which are the most among Indiana State’s active roster.

Emily Weber’s 43 assists in Friday’s match were her most in a Sycamore uniform, and also represented her best per-set average (10.75) in a conference match this season.

Indiana State’s attack revolved around the pin hitters Friday, with Kira Holland, Emma Kaelin and Curry Kendall combining for 39 of the Sycamores’ 53 kills in the match.

Indiana State’s first three sets showed positive signs from the attacking front, with 45 kills across the first three frames. The Sycamores hit .382 in their second set win, while limiting Missouri State to a .100 hitting percentage in that set.

HAMMOND, Ind. – The UIndy volleyball team dropped a pair of 4-set contests at the 16th annual Midwest Region Crossover on Friday night.

The Greyhound snagged a set in each match against regional foes Findlay and Northern Michigan from the Hammond Sportsplex in northwest Indiana.

Findlay 3, UIndy 1

The Greyhounds gained the early advantage over the Oilers in a close 25-23 first frame. The Hounds rallied off 10 unanswered points in the middle of the set, with senior Kayla Guthrie totaling three kills and sophomore Riley Laine recording two blocks during the run.

Laine smacked down the set-winning kill after Findlay rattled off five consecutive points, building momentum for the rest of the match. The Oilers went on to win three straight frames to secure the victory.

Senior Sophia Parlanti led the Greyhound offense, hitting .302 with 18 kills. Three other Hounds reached double-digit kill, including freshman Madeline Lynch (12), Laine (11), and Guthrie (10). Redshirt-junior Claire Morris picked up 50 assists in the loss.

Northern Michigan 3, UIndy 1

UIndy came alive in the third, scoring six consecutive points to pull away from Northern Michigan late in the game. Parlanti contributed three kills in the process, while Laine joined Maddie Berger for one each.

Back-to-back kills from Berger, followed by a Wildcat error, forced an NMU timeout as the teams were knotted at 19 apiece late in the fourth frame; however, the home team on the scoreboard buckled down, scoring four of the final five points to seal the win.

INDIANAPOLIS – The Marian volleyball team put up a fight until the final rally Friday night, but came up short as they fell in four sets on their home floor against No. 15 Mount Vernon Nazarene. Marian’s loss drops their season record to 17-6 overall, while sliding back to 8-5 in the Crossroads League.

Mount Vernon led for much of the early stages of the first set, grabbing a 9-6 lead as the match got underway. The Cougars lead would grow as high as six, but a block and kill from Sarah Bennett helped Marian close the gap. Mount Vernon held a 19-13 lead after back to back kills from Lyssi Snouffer, but allowed Marian to inch back within three as Gabby Fish and Emma Hirchak aided the Marian offense. Fish’s kill saw the score show a three-point 22-19 deficit, but the Knights were unable to keep chipping away, giving up three unanswered points to fall 25-19.

In the second set, Marian responded by building an early 7-3 advantage. Mount Vernon called for timeout after committing their fifth consecutive error, and slowly crawled back within two of the Knights. Emerson Evans helped push Marian back on top by five as her service ace gave the team a 13-8 lead, with the score slowly shifting ahead to 19-14 after timely plays from Nicole Wilkinson and Madison Brooks. Khori Dryden helped push the Knights to set point, while a Cougar service error ended the game for Marian, giving them a 25-21 win.

The back and forth tendency continued in the third set, as both teams exchanged runs that saw the score inflate to 10-10. Wilkinson and Dryden were catalysts for Marian in the early stages, while Gabby Fish gave her team a 12-10 lead after scoring two kills off Emerson Evans sets. Mount Vernon eventually regained the lead at 18-17, and began to exchange points with Marian, keeping the edge as the score slowly moved to a 22-22 tie. After Wilkinson tied the set, the Cougars found a groove, winning three of the final four rallies to win 25-23 and take a one-set advantage.

The Knights responded in the fourth set by winning the first three points, but saw their lead evaporate as the Cougars scored four unanswered. The Cougars would win the race to 10 points as they claimed a 10-8 edge, but were unable to keep the Knights down as Logan Smith served a 3-0 rally that brought the set back to an even 12-12 score. Mount Vernon would reclaim the advantage as they took a 20-16 lead, but failed to hold on to their edge as a late 5-0 run for Marian tied the set at 23-23. Mikayla Christiansen paced the run with three kills, but as she went for a fourth in the series she was blocked by the Cougars, forcing match point. Mt. Vernon and Marian traded blows as the Cougars moved on top 25-24, winning the set on the next rally on an attack error. The 26-24 fourth set sealed the Cougars 3-1 win over Marian.

For the match, Marian had a higher hitting percentage than Mount Vernon by seven points, while also out-blocking the Cougars 12-9. Christiansen finished the match with a team-high 14 kills, while Gabby Fish had 11 and Nicole Wilkinson had 10. Logan Smith recorded 24 assists to lead the team, while Emerson Evans had 21. Smith and Christiansen would both finish with double-doubles as the setter had 20 digs and the hitter had 14, trailing match-leader Emma Lyons who recorded 32 digs.

The game ended after 3 hours and 52 minutes of playing. according to a post by Zachary Kaye on the website thedeclarationatcoloniahigh.com. This record was broken a couple of times since then with the new record on September 26, 1998 season when Bethune-Cookman vs. Virginia State football game went to a new record 8 overtime sessions to decide a winner as B-CC pulled it out 63-57.

CFL owner

October 19, 1991 – Lonnie Glieberman purchased Ottawa Rough Riders from CFL for the price of $1.00. The other part of the equation was that he had to absorb more that $1 million in franchise debt. Glieberman was both a football savior and a franchise killer. Lonnie and his father Bernie owned teams in Ottawa in 1992-93 and 2005 when they created the Renegades, but bailed for Shreveport, La., in 1994 and folded the Renegades franchise in 2006.  An October 13, 2012 post on the Ottawa Sun’s website interviewing Glieberman, tells us that his biggest regrets and probably items that upset the apple cart of the CFL franchises was his decision to bring banished a NFL star Dexter Manley to Ottawa and the much-ridiculed Mardi Gras promotion that stated it would give cash to the lady that would expose herself and collect the most beaded necklaces. Not a great combination to win the fans over.

TODAY IN BASEBALL HISTORY

1932    Chuck Klein (.348, 38, 137), receiving all six first-place votes, is named the National League’s Most Valuable Player. The 27-year outfielder, who is the first Phillies player to win the award, led the Senior Circuit in hits (226), runs (152), home runs (38), and stolen bases (20).

1949    In one of their best trades in franchise history, the White Sox obtain future Hall of Famer Nellie Fox from the A’s in exchange for catcher Joe Tipton. The hard-nosed second baseman will lead the league in hits four times, winning the 1959 American League MVP during his 14-year tenure with the team.

1964    Two days after former manager Johnny Keane announced he was joining the Yankees, Cardinals GM Bob Howsam makes public the resignation of Branch Rickey, stating he had no explanation for why the 83-year-old team consultant decided to leave the club. The move continues the front office shakeup for the World Champs, including Eddie Stanky’s resignation as the director of player development and the dismissal of former general manager Bing Devine.

1964    Fred Hutchinson, who compiled a 443-372 (.544) record and won the 1961 National League pennant during his six seasons with the team, resigns as the Reds manager. The 44-year-old much-respected skipper, after a courageous battle against lung cancer, will die three weeks later in Bradenton, Florida.

1964    Harry Walker becomes the Pirates’ skipper, replacing Danny Murtaugh, who will return to the field as an interim manager during the 1967 season, replacing his fired successor. During his two-plus years in the Pittsburgh dugout, ‘Harry the Hat’ compiles a respectable 224-184 (.549) record but is let go after his team plays .500 ball after competing for the National League flag the previous two seasons.

1969    Three days after capturing the world championship, the Mets appear on The Ed Sullivan Show and sing “You Gotta Have Heart,” an inspiring song from the Broadway play Damn Yankees. The show’s host concerned that some of the ball players imbibed too many mai tais following rehearsals at a nearby Chinese restaurant, brings in a choir to back up the performers, out of sight from the audience.

1972    The A’s score two runs in the bottom ninth to win Game 4 of the World Series, stunning the Reds at Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, 3-2. Four straight singles, three delivered by pinch-hitters Gonzalo Marquez, Don Mincher, and Angel Manual, who provided the walk-off hit, fuel the comeback victory that gives Oakland a commanding 3-1 lead in the Fall Classic.

1976    Jim Mason’s solo home run in the seventh inning of Game 3 proves to be the Yankees’ only round-tripper in the World Series en route to being swept by the Reds. Cincinnati designated hitter Dan Driessen has a single, double, and homer in the team’s 6-2 victory at the Bronx ballpark.

1978    The White Sox fire Larry Doby, who posted a 37-50 record for the fifth-place team, as a midseason replacement for skipper Bob Lemon. Owner Bill Veeck names 35-year-old shortstop Don Kessinger, obtained from St. Louis at the end of the 1977 campaign, as the club’s player-manager for next season.

1981    Dodger outfielder Rick Monday dashes the first Canadian pennant hopes with a ninth-inning two-out dramatic home run to beat the Expos, 2-1, in the NLCS’s deciding game. The series marks the first and last time in franchise history Montreal makes it into the postseason until 2012, when the Washington Nationals, the team’s new name and home for the past seven seasons, finishes first in the National League East Division.

1986    In Game 2 of the World Series, Steve Crawford gets credit for winning the Red Sox’s 9-3 victory over the Mets at Shea Stadium. The right-handed reliever, 0-2 before the postseason, becomes the first hurler to win a Fall Classic contest after being winless during the regular season.

1987    The Yankees name Billy Martin manager for the fifth and final time. The fiery skipper will stay at the helm until June 23 of next year, finishing his tumultuous tenure with the Bronx Bombers with a 556-385 (.591) record that produces two pennants and a World championship during his eight seasons with the team.

1991    At the Metrodome, Lonnie Smith becomes the first player in baseball history to play in the World Series with four different teams when he leads off for the Braves in Game 1. The DH, scoring a run in the team’s 5-2 loss to the Twins, also appeared in the Fall Classic with the Phillies (1980), Cardinals (1982), and Royals (1985).

1993    The Dodgers trade future Hall of Famer Pedro Martinez to the Expos for second baseman Delino DeShields, who will hit .241 during his three seasons with Los Angeles. The 21-year-old Dominican right-hander will win 55 of 88 decisions in his four-year tenure with Montreal before being dealt to Boston before the 1998 campaign.

1994    WJMP-AM radio in Kent (OH) ends its non-stop playing of Take Me Out to the Ballgame, after airing allegedly 57,161 consecutive versions of the song which started its run on August 12. The 1,000-watt temporarily former all-sports station began its TMOTTB musical interlude as a protest against the baseball strike, originally planning to continue its unique programming until the owners and players reached an agreement.

1999    The Braves stroll into a World Series berth with their 10-9 walk-off victory against the Mets at Turner Field in Game 6 of the NLCS. Atlanta has their ticket punched to the Fall Classic when Kenny Rogers issues a base on balls to Andruw Jones with the bases loaded and one out in the bottom of the 11th inning to force Gerald Williams in with the winning run.

2000    Dusty Baker, who led the Giants to a National League West flag with baseball’s best record (97-65), agrees with the Giants on a two-year contract extension. The pact makes the two-time National League Manager of the Year the second-highest-paid skipper in the majors.

2002    Giants’ designated hitter Tsuyoshi Shinjo becomes the first Japanese-born player to appear in the World Series. The Osaka native gets a hit in his three trips to the plate in the team’s 4-3 victory over the Angels in Game 1 of the Fall Classic.

2002    At Edison International Field of Anaheim, the Giants edge the Angels in Game 1 of the Fall Classic, 4-3. The contest marks the first time two wild-card teams have faced one another in the World Series.

2004    In a pivotal play of Game 6 of the ALCS, the umpires rule Alex Rodriguez out for interference after slapping the ball from Red Sox pitcher Bronson Arroyo’s glove. As a result, Derek Jeter, who had scored, is ordered back to first with two outs rather than one, killing a potential rally in New York’s eventual 4-2 loss to Boston at Yankee Stadium.

2004    In a contest that features two reversed calls by the umpires, the Red Sox, three outs from being swept in Game 4, become the first team in baseball history after trailing the series 0-3 to force a Game 7. Playing with a dislocated ankle tendon, Curt Schilling turns in an outstanding pitching performance in Boston’s 4-2 victory over the Bombers in the Bronx ballpark, 4-2.

2005    The Astros, one of six teams to have never played in the World Series, break the franchise’s 43-year drought, advancing to the Fall Classic when they beat the Cardinals in the NLCS, 5-1. Houston had been close before, coming up short five times in their history in a game with the NL flag on the line, including being a strike away in Game 5 when Albert Pujols hit a two-out three-run ninth-inning homer, forcing a Game 6 in St. Louis.

2006    Nicole Sherry becomes the second woman to be named the head groundskeeper of a major league team when the Orioles ask her to lead the crew caring for Camden Yards. The Wilmington, Delaware native joins Heather Nabozny, who has been in the same position with the Tigers since 1999.

2006    In Game 7 of the NLCS at Shea Stadium, Adam Wainwright, on three pitches, strikes out Carlos Beltran looking with the bases loaded, giving the Cardinals a 3-1 victory over the Mets, their 17th pennant in franchise history, and a trip to the World Series to face the Tigers. The New York outfielder, with the best HR ratio (11/81) in postseason history, is frozen by the rookie right-hander’s two-out, two-strike incredible curveball.

2006    For a new generation, the term “the Catch” may conjure up memories of Endy Chavez’s NLCS Game 7 leaping catch when he grabs a ball with his outstretched glove destined to be a Scott Rolen two-run home run and starting an unbelievable double play. The Shea Stadium heroics are overshadowed in the ninth inning when Yadier Molina hits a two-run homer and Carlos Beltran, with the best HR ratio (11/81) in postseason history, looks at a third strike with the bases loaded with Mets, giving the Cardinals a 3-1 victory and the pennant.

2007    After 12 seasons and 12 playoff appearances, including 10 AL East titles, six pennants, and four world championships, manager Joe Torre rejects the Yankees’ overture, which calls for a pay cut. The non-negotiable offer – a one-year, $5 million deal with $1 million incentives per playoff round and an $8 million option for 2009 if the Yankees reached next year’s World Series – was considered by many to be insulting and a ploy to oust the popular manager without upsetting the team’s fans.

2007    The Royals hire Trey Hillman, a successful skipper in the minors and Japan, to be the team’s manager. The 44-year-old current Nippon Ham Fighters pilot, who has never played, coached, or managed in the big leagues, spent 13 years in the dugout in the Yankees’ minor leagues and was named manager of the year three times.

2008    Behind the solid start of Matt Garza and the stellar relief work of rookie David Price to finish the game, including a bases-loaded strikeout to end the eighth, the Rays beat the Red Sox, 3-1, in Game 7 of the ALCS, winning their first American League pennant. After posting the worst record in baseball last season, the Rays advance to the World Series, hosting the Phillies in Game 1 of the Fall Classic at Tropicana Field.

2009    Kenji Johjima, the first Japanese catcher in major league history, surprises the Mariners by opting out of the final two seasons of his three-year deal. Unhappy about being benched, the 33-year-old struggling backstop walks away from $15.8 million to finish his career in Japan.

2010    The Yankees honor Freddy Schuman, a fan known for his rhythmic banging of a spoon against a skillet, displaying some of his memorabilia inside Gate 4. After a moment of silence for the fan-favorite sign-man before Game 4 of the ALCS, the fans continue to show their appreciation of 85-year-old iconic “Freddy Sez” when they photographed friends banging his pan, chanting “Fred-dy! Fred-dy!” during the contest against the Rangers at the Stadium.

2010    The Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo signs a five-year contract extension, receiving a promotion to be the executive vice president of baseball operations. The new position, made available when team president Stan Kasten resigned, gives the 48-year-old more control over the franchise and a direct line to the team’s ownership, including principal owner Ted Lerner.

2010    The Cubs select Mike Quade, Lou Piniella’s interim replacement who guided the team to a 24-13 record during the last six weeks of the season, as the franchise’s newest manager. Triple-A Iowa skipper and Hall of Fame icon Ryne Sandberg, a finalist in the selection process, was considered the front-runner for the position.

2012    Rays closer Fernando Rodney is named the AL Comeback Player of the Year after the reliever establishes the all-time MLB mark with a 0.60 ERA and sets the franchise record with 48 saves. Before playing for Tampa Bay, the 35-year-old right-hander saved just 17 games during his two-year tenure with the Halos.

2019    In front of a sellout crowd at Minute Maid Park, the Astros win the American League pennant when Jose Altuve takes Aroldis Chapman deep in the bottom of the ninth, giving the team a 6-4 walk-off victory over the Yankees in Game 6 of the ALCS. Houston had blown a 4-2 lead in the top of the frame when Roberto Osuna allowed DJ LeMahieu’s two-run homer to tie the game.
