MI New York claimed their second Major League Cricket title as they defeated Washington Freedom by five runs in Dallas.Seamer Rushil Ugarkar conceded just six runs from the final over and dismissed Australia international Glenn Maxwell as 2024 champions Washington closed on 175-5.Washington topped the table in the group stage, while New York finished fourth and won consecutive play-off games to reach the final.Quinton de Kock starred in New York's innings, hitting 77 from 46 balls and putting on a 72-run opening partnership with Monank Patel that looked set to fire their side to score over 200.His dismissal, along with those of Nicholas Pooran (21) and Kieron Pollard (0), meant New York lost three wickets for one run over the space of six balls, stalling their innings in its last quarter, and they finished on 180-7.Washington lost Mitchell Owen, who would be named the tournament's most valuable player at the end of the match, and Andries Gous for ducks in Trent Boult's opening over. Owen's opening partner Rachin Ravindra pressed on, scoring 70 from 41 and adding 82 with Jack Edwards (33).Uncapped American Ugarkar ended Ravindra's charge in the 16th over, but the experienced duo of Maxwell (16) and Glenn Phillips (48) took over, and Washington needed 12 from the final over of the match.The pair took singles from the first two balls of the over, but dot balls either side of Maxwell being caught in the deep ensured that Obus Pienaar's final-ball four would not be enough to deny New York a second title.

Report: Browns QB Kenny Pickett injured during practice

July 27 - Cleveland Browns quarterback Kenny Pickett reportedly went down with a hamstring injury during Saturday's training camp session, casting uncertainty over his early momentum in a crowded quarterback competition. Sources told ESPN that Pickett sustained the injury while rolling to his right and throwing a touchdown during the final red zone drill of the day. The severity of the injury remains unclear and the Browns reportedly expect to re-evaluate him later this week. Pickett had been making a strong case to become the Browns' starter, taking a majority of the first-team reps during the opening week of training camp. Browns quarterbacks coach Bill Musgrave described his performance in the first two practices as "stellar," particularly praising his accuracy. Pickett's early success had seemingly put him ahead in the four-man competition, which includes veteran Joe Flacco and rookies Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders. The injury now opens the door for the remaining quarterbacks to gain valuable reps. Flacco, entering his 18th NFL season, has rotated with Pickett throughout camp and brings veteran leadership to the position group. Gabriel, a third-round pick out of Oregon, has had limited time with the first team, while Sanders, a fifth-round pick from Colorado, has yet to take any first-team snaps. Pickett, a 2022 first-round pick by the Pittsburgh Steelers, was traded to the Browns in March by the Philadelphia Eagles. Cleveland gave up a fifth-round pick and young quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson in the deal. With the Browns declining his fifth-year option, Pickett is set to become a free agent after the 2025 season. --Field Level Media

Bubba Wallace wins Brickyard 400 to become Indy's first Black winner

Bubba Wallace became the first Black driver to win on Indianapolis Motor Speedway's 2.5-mile oval, surviving a late rain delay, two overtimes, concerns over running out of fuel and a hard-charging Kyle Larson on Sunday in the Brickyard 400. The third NASCAR Cup victory of Wallace's career was also his biggest. It snapped a 100-race winless streak that dated to 2022 at Kansas. He also won at Talladega in 2021. It's his first win at one of NASCAR's four crown jewel races. 'Unbelievable,' Wallace shouted on his radio after crossing the yard of bricks. And while the final gap was 0.222 seconds, he didn't reach victory lane without some consternation. Larson trailed by 5.057 seconds with 14 laps to go but the gap was down to about three seconds with six remaining when the yellow flag came out because of rain. The cars rolled to a stop on pit lane with four to go, giving Wallace about 20 additional minutes to think and rethink his restart strategy. But after beating Larson through the second turn, a crash behind the leaders forced a second overtime, extending the race even more laps as Wallace's team thought he might run out of gas. Wallace risked everything by staying on the track then beat the defending race winner off the restart again to prevent Larson from becoming the fourth back-to-back winner of the Brickyard. It also alleviated the frustration Wallace felt Saturday when he spent most of the qualifying session on the provisional pole only to see Chase Briscoe surpass with one of the last runs in the session. He made sure there was no repeat Sunday, giving an added boost to the 23XI Racing co-owned by basketball Hall of Famer Michael Jordan and last week's race winner, Denny Hamlin, as it continues to battle NASCAR in court over its charter status. ___

49ers DE Tarron Jackson hospitalized after camp collision

July 27 - San Francisco 49ers defensive end Tarron Jackson was taken to a local hospital for evaluation after a collision during a training camp practice Sunday. Per reporters at the practice, Jackson was blocked by an offensive tackle, went to the ground and did not move for a few moments before he was able to move his hands. His teammates took a knee as he was tended to, and Jackson eventually had to be taken off on a backboard. Niners coach Kyle Shanahan said after practice that Jackson was conscious, talking and had movement in his extremities. "We were close to him so we could hear him talking and we could see everything moving," Shanahan said. "I just told the guys that, which eases them up a little bit with the biggest fears and asked them if they were OK to continue to go. They all yelled yes and we finished the last period." Jackson, 27, is entering his first sea
