A’ja Wilson became the first player in WNBA history to have at least 35 points, 10 rebounds and five steals in a game as the Aces beat the Wings.

Chicago Sky players were harassed as they stepped off the team bus on Wednesday night.
The Chicago Sky are on the road preparing to face the Washington Mystics on Thursday night. A day before the game, the team was greeted by an unwelcome visitor who reportedly pulled his camera out and began harassing guard Chennedy Carter.
Carter was at the center of a viral moment this past weekend when she hip checked Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark.

Texas hadn’t allowed a run in three previous WCWS games. Oklahoma scored eight in Wednesday’s Game 1 of the championship series.

Detroit Tigers prospect Justyn-Henry Malloy stepped up to the plate Wednesday with his team trailing the Texas Rangers 4–0 and in need of a spark.
Jacqueline and Henry Malloy, the outfielder’s parents, watched intently from their seats as their son, who was called up to the big leagues Monday, searched for his first career hit.
On a 3–1 count, Malloy crushed a Jose Ureña sinker 413 feet into the left field seats for his first career knock. Bally Sports Detroit’s cameras panned to his parents in the crowd, who were in a perfect state of pure elation and disbelief.

A retired five-time WNBA All-Star offered to be Caitlin Clark’s ‘bodyguard’ as fellow players continue to target the Indiana Fever star.
Angel McCoughtry, 37, spoke up on the recent Caitlin Clark buzz. After Saturday’s cheap shot by Chennedy Carter, Clark’s fans are looking around and hoping an ‘enforcer’ can step up to protect the Fever player since her current teammates have been acting like bumps on a log. 
Speaking with TMZ Sports, McCoughtry announced that she’d be willing to come out of retirement if the Fever needed a bodyguard for Clark.

A scrap on the pitch took a nasty turn when a player swung at an opponent, clipping her on the jaw. Soccer fans argued that the Congolese player went too far and called for a “lifetime ban” on the player. DR Congo forward Ruth Kipoyi faces potential discipline after striking 24-year-old Spanish midfielder Yasmin Mrabet, who plays for team Morocco.
Kipoyi was contesting a foul called on her in the second half of the match shortly after halftime — as DR Congo faced a 2-1 deficit against Morocco — when players from the opposing team stepped in to bark back at Kipoyi.

The much vaunted offense of the Los Angeles Dodgers has been struggling in the past few weeks, making a matchup with Pittsburgh Pirates phenom Paul Skenes that much more intriguing.
Skenes has been mostly unhittable his first few starts in the big leagues, with a 2.45 ERA and over 12 strikeouts per nine innings. His start against the Chicago Cubs on May 17th was one of the most impressive by anyone in Major League Baseball all season. Six innings, no hits allowed, 11 strikeouts, including seven in a row to start the game.

Aaron Judge drove in five runs and Carlos Rodon pitched five perfect innings as the Yankees defeated the Twins, 9-5, on Wednesday night.

Chennedy Carter’s flagrant foul on Caitlin Clark has become something bigger.

Indiana Fever rookie guard Caitlin Clark has been the biggest storyline of the 2024 WNBA season—from her debut last month against the Connecticut Sun to her 30-point gem against the Los Angeles Sparks to her occasional on-court struggles.
Geno Auriemma, who coached many current WNBA stars at UConn—from Diana Taurasi to Napheesa Collier to Breanna Stewart—weighed in on the on-court physicality that Clark has dealt with over her first 11 games.
