The Rhode Island champion Lincoln Little League All-Stars opened regional play with a tough loss on Saturday, Aug. 8, falling to the New York champions from Port Washington 10-3 at the Metro Regional tournament held at the A. Bartlett Giamatti Little League Leadership Training Center in Bristol, Connecticut.The New Yorkers struck first, scoring a pair of runs in the first inning, and adding four more in the third to take an early lead. Lincoln answered with two runs in the bottom of the third when Tucker Choiniere doubled home Adrian Duffney, who opened the inning with a walk.Choiniere advanced to third on a ground ball, then scored when Jackson Lockhart grounded out to the second baseman.Two innings later, Duffney hit a one-out single, took second when Choiniere drew a walk, advanced to third on a wild pitch, then came in to score on another wild pitch.But New York would not allow any other runs and added three more of its own in the final frame to seal the game.Hugo Fiero, Duffney and Choiniere each recorded a hit, with Duffney scoring two of Rhode Island's three runs.The regional tournament is double-elimination style, and the Little Leaguers from Lincoln are no strangers to that format. Lincoln navigated the losers bracket and beat Barrington twice, including a 2-1 triumph in the winner-take-all Rhode Island championship final to capture the states crown. The win marked Lincolns return to the regional stage for the first time since 2013, when it played in the New England Regional. Rhode Island takes the field again on Sunday, Aug. 9,. at 7 p.m., to face the loser of the Connecticut vs. New Jersey matchup (played Saturday night).This article originally appeared on The Providence Journal: RI falls to New York in Little League Metro Regional opener

NEW YORK Sabrina Ionescu is shifting her focus to the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics Games after not making the cut for the 12-woman FIBA World Cup squad, which is set to begin group play next month.And the Liberty star had no hard feelings on the decision to leave her off this years World Cup roster.I mean, not kind of but not really, Ionescu said when asked if she was surprised when she learned of not making the team. I know I kind of dealt with some injuries. Obviously, theres so much talent. You kind of never know. It could go any way. So I dont know if 'surprised' is the right word. Yeah, it just is what it is.The rosters became official on Thursday with Ionescus Liberty teammate Breanna Stewart being one of the headliners on the roster. Stewart will be joined by these stars for the tournament, which is set for Sept. 4-13 in Berlin:Aliyah Boston (Indiana Fever), Paige Bueckers (Dallas Wings), Caitlin Clark (Indiana Fever), Napheesa Collier (Minnesota Lynx), Kahleah Copper (Phoenix Mercury), Chelsea Gray (Las Vegas Aces), Rhyne Howard (Atlanta Dream), Kelsey Plum (Phoenix Mercury), Angel Reese (Atlanta Dream), Aja Wilson (Las Vegas Aces) and Jackie Young (Las Vegas Aces).As she alluded, Ionescu dealt with back and ankle injuries weeks before the official roster was announced. However, Plum and Collier dealt with injuries and missed WNBA regular-season games, too.I think that for her to be left off the World Cup roster I was surprised. Definitely, Stewart said of Ionescu, who helped Team USA win its eighth straight Olympic gold medal in the 2024 Paris Games.Not a nice feeling for her. You know what I mean? But, I feel like shes taking it in a positive way.Ionescu said shell show up to everything I possibly can as long as my body allows it in order to make the squad for the upcoming Olympics.Ionescu, who also has a 2022 FIBA World Cup gold medal on her resume, said Team USA womens managing director Sue Bird told her the same exact thing as she told reporters as to why the guard didnt make the roster.On a call with reporters, Bird declined to get into specifics about Ionescu not making the team. She said the roster decision was not a reflection of who Ionescu is as a player, and the decision was about choosing people who earned the right to play.I understand, Ionescu said Saturday. I mean, its a tough position that theyre in, and they gotta weigh in a lot of factors. And I know its not easy.

BOSTON (AP) The way the things have gone for the Boston Red Sox since early July, it wouldnt have been surprising if they pulled off another comeback.Instead, they loaded the bases against Athletics reliever Hogan Harris after scoring a run, but Ian White lined out solidly to center field to end their bid for a second win streak of at least 10 games in the same season for the first in team history with a 7-3 loss on Saturday afternoon at Fenway Park.That we might actually win the game the way its gone, interim manager Chad Tracy said, when asked what he was thinking with the potential tying run at the plate.It was a great effort to get the tying run to plate and give ourselves a shot, which was awesome, Tracy said of the rally that started with two outs and a runner on second.It was just Bostons fourth loss in its last 31 games. On Friday, the Red Sox became just the seventh team since 1920 to win 27 or more in a 30-game span, and the only team to begin their run under .500.On June 24, the Red Sox were 14 games under .500. Now, theyre 64-52.Just over two weeks ago, the Red Sox had a franchise record-tying 15-game win streak ended. It matched th mark set by the 1946 club that was led by future Hall of Famer Ted Williams.The most recent streak started July 29, after a loss in West Sacramento, California, against the Athletics, sending them on a nine-game skid.I think thats our identity. I think thats who we are as a team, Boston DH Jahmai Jones said. Weve seen comebacks for us, weve seen a lot of late inning rallies.Unfortunately, it was hit on the screws right at somebody, he said of the final out.Entering Saturday, 12 of Bostons last 19 wins came in a comeback, including Thursday when the Red Sox became the first team in modern MLB history to score in the final five innings from the ninth inning on in the same game in a 12-11 victory over the White Sox.We had that hope, that big hope, infielder Andruw Monasterio said.Boston has won its last nine series. The Red sox won a franchise-record 11 consecutive series in 1912, the year that Fenway Park opened.___AP MLB: https://apnews.com/hub/mlb

Ty Miller cemented himself as a true prospect to watch earlier tonight (Sat., Aug. 8, 2026) at UFC Vegas 120 LIVE on Paramount+ from inside the revamped Meta Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada, as Thriller steamrolled fellow welterweight Billy Ray Goff with a blistering third-round TKO (punches).This was all Miller from the opening bell. He utilized his long reach to establish a range Goff couldnt keep up with. This basically made him target practice for Miller, who had no trouble finding his shots in bunches. Miller hurt Goff with a stiff jab, shots to the body, head kicks, and upper cuts. It was a striking clinic from the undefeated prospect.It appeared Goff suffered an orbital injury to his right eye along the way, but his corner still allowed him off the stool for the third round. Its unfortunate they did because Miller slammed a perfect right hand that instantly shut Goff down and finally forced the referee to stop the fight.While some may debate the decision Goffs corner made this fight was all about Millers performance. He was downright dominant and should be a real name to watch in the welterweight division heading into next year.Check out his knockout finish below:Goff ATE this headkick early from Ty Miller [ #UFCVegas120 | LIVE on @ParamountPlus ] pic.twitter.com/Wyvpfdv68y UFC on Paramount+ (@UFConParamount) August 9, 2026TY MILLER IS NASSSTTYYYY IN THE OCTAGON He gets the late TKO tonight!

Daniel Cormier and many others in the MMA community were not pleased with Billy Ray Goff's corner after his TKO loss to Ty Miller at UFC Fight Night 284.After Goff (9-5 MMA, 1-3 UFC) got battered for two rounds by Miller, there was reluctance to start the third round of the welterweight bout at Meta APEX in Las Vegas. Goff's corner sent him out, and almost immediately he got smashed with a huge punch by Miller (8-0 MMA, 2-0 UFC) that sent him flying back to the cage and folded into the canvas at the 0:15 mark of Round 3.TY MILLER IS NASSSTTYYYY IN THE OCTAGON He gets the late TKO tonight!

"Look at his right eye. And then when he got hit on the right eye he went down. The coach told him, 'Don't engage, just circle' and essentially run. Why not just stop the fight? ... The writing was on the wall, especially if that's the advice you're giving your guy going into the third round."Many others in the MMA community agreed with Cormier's take on the result.They did, and he got stopped 5 seconds into the 3rd. Irresponsible corner job. #UFCVegas120https://t.co/r7kCXfvIVD Matthew Wells (@MrMWells) August 9, 2026Complete dereliction of duty from the Goff corner.He's down two rounds and their advice is for him to avoid Miller and circle.Just call the fight and let him fight another day. Aaron Bronsteter (@aaronbronsteter) August 9, 2026After the impressive beatdown from Miller, he also gave his thoughts on the fight going into a third round."I didn't think he was going to get off the stool, to be honest," Miller told Cormier in their post-fight interview.

The Washington Commanders entered training camp believing they had one of the NFL's best left tackles protecting Jayden Daniels. That plan has taken a devastating hit.Five-time Pro Bowl left tackle Laremy Tunsil suffered a torn triceps during one-on-one pass-rush drills, according to reports from Adam Schefter and Steve Wyche. Tunsil will likely require surgery and is expected to miss a significant portion of the regular season.There are few offensive linemen capable of replacing what Tunsil provides. Washington acquired him to protect Daniels' blind side and provide stability at one of football's most important positions. Now, the Commanders must rearrange their offensive line weeks before the regular season begins.Andrew Wylie now is likely to be the Commanders new left tackle, with Josh Conerly at right tackle.Brandon Coleman was Washingtons left tackle in 2024 but he had been moved to guard. https://t.co/QhNwU7hJvH Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) August 9, 2026Andrew Wylie is expected to move to left tackle, with Josh Conerly remaining on the right side. Brandon Coleman started at left tackle in 2024, but Washington had already moved him inside to guard. Moving Coleman back outside remains an option, but doing so would create another opening along the interior. Washington may also explore the veteran market before settling on its starting five.What the injury means for the EaglesThe Eagles already had several reasons to feel confident about their defensive front. Tunsil's absence gives Vic Fangio another potential weakness to attack when Philadelphia faces Washington.Wylie is an experienced starter, but moving from right tackle to the left side is a significant adjustment. Philadelphia can rotate its edge defenders, change their alignments and create opportunities to isolate Washington's tackles in obvious passing situations.Tunsil's injury could also force the Commanders to keep a running back or tight end in protection, giving Daniels fewer receiving options downfield.How the NFC East outlook changesWashington shouldn't be removed from the NFC East race because of one injury. Daniels remains one of the division's most dangerous quarterbacks, and the Commanders have time to adjust their protection plan.They can emphasize quicker throws, move the pocket and give Wylie help against the division's best pass rushers. Still, losing an elite left tackle changes how an offense operates.The Eagles, Cowboys and Giants will enter their matchups against Washington knowing there is a new area to attack. Every defensive coordinator in the division will look for ways to test Wylie, Conerly and Washington's ability to communicate after the reshuffle.Final analysisTunsil could return later in the season, depending on his recovery. Until then, the Commanders must find a way to protect Daniels without the player expected to anchor their offensive line. Washington still has enough talent to contend, but the road just became far more difficult. One of its greatest strengths has suddenly become one of the biggest questions in the NFC East.This article originally appeared on Eagles Wire: Commanders five-time Pro Bowl LT Laremy Tunsil suffered a torn triceps

Brad Hunts professional hockey career has officially come to an end.The former Vegas Golden Knights defenseman announced his retirement from professional hockey on social media earlier this week, closing the book on a career that lasted nearly two decades and took him from the BCHL to the NHL, the AHL and, ultimately, a World Championship gold medal with Team Canada.For Vegas fans, Hunt will be remembered as part of the organizations early years, joining the Golden Knights for their second season and remaining with the club through the 2018-19 campaign.Hunt appeared in 58 games for Vegas across the two seasons, recording five goals and 20 assists for 25 points.While his time with the Golden Knights was relatively brief, it came during an important period in franchise history. Vegas was still establishing itself as an NHL organization after its remarkable inaugural season, and Hunt became one of the many defensemen who helped provide depth on the blue line during those early years.Hunts NHL career went well beyond his time in Vegas, however.The 37-year-old played 288 regular-season games over parts of 14 NHL seasons, suiting up for seven organizations. Along with the Golden Knights, he spent time with the Edmonton Oilers, St. Louis Blues, Nashville Predators, Colorado Avalanche, Minnesota Wild and Vancouver Canucks.He finished his NHL career with 20 goals and 60 assists for 80 points.Much of Hunts career was spent in the American Hockey League, where he established himself as one of the leagues most productive offensive defensemen.Hunt played 422 AHL games for the Chicago Wolves, Oklahoma City Barons, Bakersfield Condors, Colorado Eagles and Hershey Bears, producing 84 goals and 214 assists for 298 points. He was selected to six AHL All-Star Games and recorded four seasons with at least 40 points, including two 50-point campaigns.That offensive production helped Hunt overcome one of the biggest obstacles he faced throughout his career: his size.At 5-foot-9, Hunt was never the prototypical NHL defenseman. Instead, he built his career around his skating, puck-moving ability and offensive instincts, continually finding ways to earn opportunities at the highest levels of the sport.His journey to the NHL began in the BCHL with the Burnaby Express. After putting up 89 points in 122 games, Hunt moved on to Bemidji State University, where he recorded 112 points in 150 NCAA games over four seasons.From there, he began a professional career that would eventually take him around North America and overseas.Hunts final season came in Finland with Sport Vaasa in 2025-26. He recorded seven goals and 18 assists for 25 points in 53 games before deciding it was time to step away.And fittingly, Hunts final years in hockey also included one of the biggest accomplishments of his career.He represented Canada at the 2023 IIHF World Championship in Finland, recording three assists while helping Canada capture a gold medal.Now, after nearly 20 years of chasing the game, Hunt is officially calling it a career.His rsum includes 288 NHL games, 422 AHL appearances, six AHL All-Star selections and a World Championship gold medal. For the Golden Knights, he will always be part of the group that helped shape the franchise during its formative years.Not bad for a defenseman who spent his entire career being told he was too small to make it.
