Jordan Ayala of Norco struck out 10 in five innings and finished with two hits and three RBIs in an 8-0 win over Eastvale Roosevelt.

Brady Murrietta's silence rounding the bases and his intense stare at St. John Bosco's pitcher after his home run sent a clear message: Don't poke the bear.

The Angels are coming off a split in Houston, and like the Nats they are not projected to be particularly good this year. In Saturday's loss, one of their relievers put up a fun 1 IP, 6 R, 0 ER line thanks to multiple errors and walks, and was rewarded by being shipped to the minors the next day.

Willi Castro connected for a leadoff homer off Sam Aldegheri on the fourth pitch of the game. That lead didn't last long, however, as Seth Lugo struggled on the mound from the get-go. He walked two of the first three Italian batters, and then a couple of soft singles through the infield turned things around into a 2-1 game.

The Brooklyn Dodgers defeated the then-Philadelphia Athletics, 4-2. The game was started by Carl Erskine, who famously returned to Dodgertown 55 years later to play the national anthem on his harmonica. Erskine went 122-78 with a 4.00 ERA over 12 seasons with the Dodgers organization, which included pitching for the Los Angeles franchise in 1958 and 1959.

Juventus opened the scoring in the 30th minute through Filippo Bellino, who capitalized on a rebound after a teammate's shot. Milan's Domnitei equalized with a penalty.

We are family here. That's why we play with passion, with love - because we feel that jersey, we feel our country in front of us. That's why this is a lot for us as players, as people, as human beings and as Venezuelans. Now we are the champions. Nobody believed in Venezuela, but now we've won the championship.

You want to know why I picked an image of Italian speed skater Francesca Lollobrigida, who won gold in the women's 3000 metre speed skating event while setting a new Olympic record for the event, for the cover of this article? For one, she's representative of Italy's start to the Winter Olympics. In just the first two days of the Winter Olympics, Italy has accumulated nine medals.

A gloriously clear day cold enough to warrant a coat and gloves yet brilliantly sunny-light shimmering on the water like Christmas baubles and a sky so blue that the tides appeared joyously high. Rainbows entered my suite at the exquisite Venice Venice Hotel; a snowy white heron perched itself on the railing of the balcony, seemingly as enchanted by the activity on the canals as we were; a pianist dressed in a long printed cape that swept the floor played into the night.

A day after the U.S. women captured gold in hockey, the U.S. men's team's quest for the same hardware continues Friday at the 2026 Winter Olympics. Team USA will face Slovakia in the semifinals after hanging on to defeat Sweden in overtime on Wednesday. Quinn Hughes, who scored the game-winning quarterfinal goal, called facing Slovakia in the next round "an extremely hard test." The No. 3 seed dominated Germany 6-2 to advance to play the U.S.

The catcher began his journey through the minor leagues with the Dodgers, who signed him out of Venezuela in 2019. Valladares was one of a few Venezuelan catching prospects in the Dodgers' system alongside Diego Cartaya and Keibert Ruiz. Both Cartaya and Ruiz eventually left the Dodgers via trade, but Valladares remained with the Dodgers and trudged his way through L.A.'s farm system.
