I know what you’re thinking.
Yes, it’s Saturday. And yes, I said Smallball would only be on Tuesdays and Fridays.
But that was more of a guideline than a rule. So, when there’s a night like last night…
Well, let’s just get into it!
(If you haven’t finished Friday’s post, save the NFL part for tomorrow, and read this today instead!)
American League Championship Series (ALCS).
Mariners vs. Blue Jays. Series tied 2–2.
Game 5. Bottom of the 8th inning. Blue Jays winning 2–1.
🎥 Watch this ending!
That was Cal Raleigh with the game-tying home run.
And Eugenio Suárez with the game-winning grand slam.
Game 6 is Sunday.
One more win and the Mariners reach their first World Series.
Right after that ending?
The Dodgers were trying to finish off a 4–0 sweep of the Brewers in the NLCS.
Pitching for the Dodgers? Shohei Ohtani.
Batting first for the Dodgers? Also, Ohtani.
🎥 Ready to see what he did?
He pitched six innings, gave up no runs, and struck out ten Brewers.
He batted four times, hit three home runs, and walked once. And that first home run? The first leadoff homer by a pitcher in MLB history.
A legendary night.
The Dodgers win.
So, we’ll see Ohtani again Friday in Game 1 of the World Series.
Oh, and before we go. Remember how we said there are 11 undefeated teams heading into college football Week 8?
Well, last night, undefeated #2 Miami played Louisville.
Louisville isn’t ranked… but they were 4–1 heading into the game.
And they led Miami all night.
But with just four minutes left, Miami got the ball back, down 24–21.
🎥 Watch what happened on the final drive!
Make that 10 undefeated teams.
And yes, Joseph, if Texas A&M beats Arkansas this afternoon, they should move up to #3… at least.
The last time the Aggies were in the top three? 1995.
Now go have a great Saturday!
