AUSL championship series postponed after weather delay: When does Game 1 resume?
The Talons were three outs away from defeating the Bandits in Game 1 of the Athletes Unlimited Softball League's inaugural championship series, but inclement weather rained on their parade Saturday, July 26, in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The first game in the best-of-three series was postponed in the bottom of the sixth inning as the Talons led the Bandits 3-1 after rainstorms led to multiple weather delays at Rhoads Stadium. Game 1 will resume on Sunday, July 27, at 11 a.m. ET on ESPN2, followed by Game 2 of the title series at 2 p.m. ET on ESPN. "Thank you for your understanding and support," the AUSL said in a statement. Here's everything you need to know about the AUSL championship series: What happened in Game 1 of the AUSL championship series? Game 1 was originally scheduled to get underway at 3 p.m. ET on Saturday, but rainstorms and lightning led to a two-hour weather delay and pushed the start back to 5 p.m. ET. The first three innings of Game 1 featured a pitchers duel between the Talons' Georgina Corrick and the Bandits' Lexi Kilfoyl, which many fans expected as Corrick (2.04) and Kilfoyl (2.35) had the lowest ERAs in the entire league entering Saturday. However, the bats got going in the fourth inning as each pitcher went through the lineup a second time. In the top of the fourth inning, the Bandits' Bubba Nickles-Camarena hit a blooper to left field that scored Delanie Wisz from second base for the first run of the game. The Talons immediately answered back in the bottom of the fourth inning with a solo home run from Tori Vidales to tie it up, 1-1. The Bandits brought in pitcher Emiley Kennedy to start the fifth inning, but the Texas A&M alum faced immediate pressure after walking Sierra Sacco and hitting Maya Brady, the first two batters she faced. The free passes came back to bite. The Talons' Sydney Romero moved her teammates into scoring position with a sacrifice bunt and Caroline Jacobsen brought in Sacco with a grounder to second base. The play at home was close, but Sacco slid in before the tag was applied. Vidales followed up with a sacrifice fly to score Brady and give the Talons a 3-1 lead. Corrick returned to the mound for the sixth inning and retired the side in order, before another weather delay went into effect. The Talons are 14-0 this season when leading after five innings. Will the Talons keep the momentum going or will the Bandits answer back? When does the AUSL championship series resume? Game 1 of the AUSL championship series will resume on ESPN2 on Sunday, July 27 at 11 a.m. ET (10 a.m. local) at Rhoads Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Game 2 will follow at 2 p.m. ET (1 p.m. local).

Fernandes 'will have more help this season'
Manchester United manager Ruben Amorim is confident skipper Bruno Fernandes will get the help he needs at Old Trafford this season. Far too often last campaign, Fernandes - who was deservedly named the club's player of the year - was alone in carrying United's attacking threat. At the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Saturday, it was tempting to think nothing had changed as he scored both goals in his side's 2-1 win over West Ham in their first Premier League Summer Series outing. But there was a subtle change. Matheus Cunha was also demanding the ball and trying to threaten the Hammers goal. When he is fully fit and ready to join his new team-mates during a game, Amorim believes £65m new-boy Bryan Mbeumo will do the same. "He will have more help this season," said Amorim. "It's impossible to play all the positions. Last year I felt sometimes I pushed him back to have more possession in the build-up and then we missed Bruno near the box. "Cunha and Bryan have different characteristics." It was Amorim's predecessor Erik ten Hag who launched a fierce defence of Fernandes when his role as captain was questioned after his emotional response during the infamous 7-0 hammering at Liverpool in March 2023. The 30-year-old's critics believe the flaws in his character remain. However, Amorim shares the same view as Ten Hag - that Fernandes is a true leader. "He's our leader, not just on the field, but also off it," United boss said. "He leads by example. He works really hard and is always available. Sometimes he plays with pain. "The problem is sometimes he gets frustrated and loses the focus on his job a little bit. "Sometimes he wants to help his team-mates so much but it's not the best thing to do. "They have to learn and they have to do their job. Bruno has to wait for the ball."
