There has been a lot to celebrate, and with pre-season starting for the players next Monday, the 2024/25 season is now in the past as eyes start turning towards the future.

Yankees bash 9 home runs vs. Rays, tying franchise record from start of the season
The New York Yankees have had their issues this season, but power isn't one of them. With nine homers in a 13-3 win over the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday, New York tied a franchise record set earlier this year. They also finished just one long ball shy of the MLB record of 10, held by the 1987 Toronto Blue Jays. There have been only four times in MLB history in which a team has hit at least nine homers in a game. The 2025 Yankees have half of them. Like in their first nine-homer game, the Yankees got started with three consecutive homers in the first inning. Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger and Giancarlo Stanton all took Rays starter Shane Baz deep, with Judge recording his 40th homer of the season. The Yankees got that hot start after a two-hour rain delay at their leased-out home away from home at Steinbrenner Field. Bellinger and Stanton both went on to add another homer later in the game. Jazz Chisholm Jr., Ben Rice and Jose Caballero all chipped in as well, with Caballero hitting a second in the ninth to make history. Across MLB history, there has been only once instance of a team hitting 10 homers in a game, three in which a team hit nine and 23 in which they hit eight. Funnily enough, as Sarah Langs notes, Yankees manager Aaron Boone was involved in all three of those nine-homer games. He managed the Yankees' two this year and hit the first homer in the third game for the Cincinnati Reds in 1999. The Yankees had that other nine-homer game in their second game of the season, which you may recall because a) poor Nestor Cortes allowed homers on his first three pitches against his old team and b) that's when the world first started to learn about New York's torpedo bats. The craze around the torpedo bats quickly faded after the first couple weeks of the season, but they've still helped the Yankees enough that they lead MLB in homers by a healthy margin, with 204 to the second-place Dodgers 187. The vibes for the Yankees are a bit worse with this power surge, as they remain five games back from the Toronto Blue Jays for first place in an AL East division they were once strongly favored to win. The Blue Jays won 7-3 against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday to maintain their lead. There have been signs the Yankees are turning things around after a brutal month and a half, though, with wins in five of their past six games. They can't redistribute some of Tuesday's homers to other games, but they're certainly a good omen the team is back on the right track.

Cricket: All five Taunton Deane Saturday teams celebrate victory
Taunton Deane Cricket Club's first XI moved closer to promotion after a weekend of victories. The weekend started with the Deane Diamonds playing Bridgwater Red Sox in the U19 cup semi-final on Friday, August 15. Jonty Lusk and Jack Blackwell scored at a rate of more than two runs per ball, with Jonty retiring on 54 after hitting a six to the Deane clubhouse. Captain Josh Cobb also passed the retirement mark, leaving Alex Chaffey and Benny Jessop to finish the innings at 229-3. Bridgwater's response was strong, with Tom Fursland hitting four sixes and four fours in his 53. However, they could not maintain the pace and ended on 153, 76 runs short. The next day, Taunton Deane's first XI travelled to North Perrott, where an unbeaten century from Bhuvanesh Jayaraman led them to victory. The Deane score was a worrying 49-4 in the 11th over and 97-6 at the halfway point, but a partnership of 122 between Jayaraman, who finished on 105 not out, and Sunil Lachit, who scored 65, took the final total to 242-8. The Deane bowlers initially struggled but found their rhythm, curbing the Perrott run rate and taking regular wickets. This left the Deane with two more wins needed to secure promotion. The Deane second XI hosted the North Petherton first XI at the Convent Field. The opposition was restricted to 208-7 by eight Deane bowlers. The Deane response was dominated by Alfie Jaques, who hit 10 off the 33rd over to reach a century. The thirds travelled to Winford to take on Shaftesbury Road first XI and powered past the target of 239 in the 31st over. Harry Quirk took four wickets for 17 runs, and the Deane batting was equally impressive. James Salt and Shafin Akhtar both scored 50s, but the player of the game was Dave Jessop with 83 from just 50 balls. The fourths were at home to Yeovil thirds, who were limited to 137 by Matthew Hughes, who finished with figures of 4-20, and Neil Lane, who finished with figures of 3-34. The Deane lost only two wickets in reaching the target. The fifths also scored a memorable victory over the Wellington third XI, with Jack Monsey leading the way with 112. Dilagha Armani was the pick of the bowlers, taking five wickets for 24 runs. With the junior section now on its summer break, there were only two Deane games on Sunday. The Deane Sunday T20 team were no match for the Taunton Indian XI, and the women's first XI played Cheltenham, who scored 294 from their 40 overs. The Deane's response of 121 was dominated by Hannah Hughes' score of 41, who showed she retains all the qualities that make her such a good cricketer.
