Steals, bunts, and some well-placed singles open up the game against Lukáš Ercoli, the left-handed reliever and director of communications for the national team.
Shin Min-jae singled in a run before Ercoli gets Song Sung-Mun, who has MLB interest, to fly out.
2-0 Korea

This Blue Jays lineup lineup is sub-par average without Springer and Bichette. Advantage: Dodgers.

This, along with a noncall on a blatant pushoff, has put the Packers right back in the game.

As I've mentioned before, when we discuss primary sources in my classes, I find lots of conflicting interpretations and productive discussions. But these discussions are grounded in textual analysis, and rarely in whether the student agrees or disagrees with the politics of the text. /5

Hail and farewell, Mike Greenwell.
Sad news today.
We are deeply saddened by the passing of Red Sox Hall of Famer Mike Greenwell.
“The Gator” spent his entire career in a Red Sox uniform & was a beloved fixture of Fenway and Fort Myers. He gave so much to this organization, Lee County, & Sox Nation.
We send our love to the Greenwell family.

For the first time in Czech Republic baseball history, the team has won a medal at the European Baseball Championship! A 9-2 victory over Spain thanks to 7 RBIs (!!!!) from Martin Červenka and 8 1/3 shutout innings of relief pitching from Tomáš Ondra delivered the team to bronze.
