Texas' Reese Atwood makes Texas Tech superstar NiJaree Canady pay on failed intentional walk
Texas Tech softball superstar NiJaree Canady is so good at throwing strikes that it cost the Red Raiders their game Wednesday night. The Red Raiders were just four outs away from securing a victory in Game 1 of the Women's College World Series Final — and Canady was having no issues mowing down Texas' order as the Longhorns still had a doughnut on the scoreboard in the 1-0 game. Then came the chaos. 3 NiJaree Canady and Texas Tech will now have to win two straight against Texas to win the WCWS. BRYAN TERRY/THE OKLAHOMAN / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images With two runners on, Canady elected to intentionally walk Texas catcher Reese Atwood. But on what was supposed to be ball four, Canady left her pitch out over the plate, and Atwood made her pay for it as she knocked in both baserunners and the Longhorns took the lead. Texas Tech couldn't strike back in the top of the final inning, and Texas took Game 1. 3 Reese Atwood's wild single in the bottom of the sixth inning wound up giving Texas the win in Game 1. Brett Rojo-Imagn Images The mistake was a rare one for Canady, as she's widely considered the best pitcher in college softball. The Kansas native played her first two collegiate seasons at Stanford, where she compiled a 41-10 pitching record and posted just a 0.67 ERA. She racked up 555 strikeouts to just 65 walks. She won the USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year award last season, PAC-12 Pitcher of the Year, was a First Team All-American, and a two-time PAC-12 First-Teamer. Canady then elected to give up the possible Stanford degree and received a whopping $1 million in NIL from Texas Tech to try and take the program out of the 29-21 gutter it was in a year ago. 3 NiJaree Canady has been a dominant force for Texas Tech this season. Brett Rojo-Imagn Images This season, she led the nation with the only ERA under 1.00 and has guided the Red Raiders to a 59-13 record as they chase their first-ever national title. She's certainly accustomed to throwing strikes, which is what may have been her downfall. Atwood said postgame to ESPN's Holly Rowe that she noticed Canady's first pitch of the at-bat was in the zone — from there, she was hunting another to take a crack at. 'I knew I was gonna have to take a risk to do something for my team,' Atwood said. Atwood was hitless throughout the WCWS prior to the game-winner, making the intentional walk decision and the miscue all the more brutal for Canady and Texas Tech. The teams return to action Thursday when the Longhorns will have a chance to take the best-of-three series for the championship.

Former NFL defensive end Greg Hardy arrested in Texas for alleged assault of family member
Former NFL defensive end Greg Hardy was arrested in Texas on Wednesday for allegedly assaulting a family member, according to online jail records. The six-year pro, who spent the majority of his career with the Carolina Panthers, was taken into custody by the Richardson Police Department at around 2 p.m. local time. He was arrested on one charge of assault causing bodily injury to a family member, according to jail records. He is currently in police custody. Hardy, 36, was drafted out of Ole Miss in the 6th round of the 2010 NFL Draft. He spent five seasons with the Panthers, but he was placed on the commissioner's exempt list in 2014 while a domestic violence case against him played out. FOX 4 reported that in 2014, Hardy's ex-girlfriend alleged that the NFL player assaulted her during a fit of rage. He was initially convicted of assault, but those charges were later dismissed after the victim in the case failed to appear for a second trial. Despite recording 34 sacks and 203 tackles with the Panthers, the decision not to re-sign Hardy was made. He was then signed by the Dallas Cowboys as a free agent in 2015, but he only played in 12 games that season after being issued a four-game suspension for violating the NFL Personal Conduct Policy as it related to his case in North Carolina. He was not re-signed the following year. Following his football career, Hardy made his debut in MMA in 2018.

MotoGP Experiences Exponential Growth In America
AUSTIN, TX - MARCH 30: Marco Bezzecchi (72) of Italy and Aprilia Racing leads a pack of riders up ... More the hill into turn one during the MotoGP Red Bull Grand Prix of the Americas on March 30. 2025, at Circuit of The Americas in Austin, Texas. (Photo by David Buono/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images) MotoGP is growing at a rapid pace in America after Dorna Sports inked a deal with Fox Sports. MotoGP, a global phenomenon, is experiencing a 53% year-after-year growth in its American broadcast viewership. Brothers Alex and Marc Marquez have taken the world by storm, dominating MotoGP in a rare show of force from a pair of brothers competing in the same series. Marc currently leads Alex in the standings, providing a nice family touch to a growing sport. The Americas GP Sprint at Circuit of the Americas averaged 66.1K viewers on FS2, up 30% from the Argentina GP on FS1 and 86% over last season's Sprint average. The Americas GP race drew 122.9K viewers on FS1, up 24% from the Argentina GP on FS2 and 259% over last season's GP average. The growth is not surprising, as the NTT IndyCar Series' debut year on Fox is also seeing a surge in the open-wheel division's audience, as well. "We know we have a responsibility to build this sport here, because there is such a there's a very, very significant core fan base that we want to expand, but we also have to serve that existing fan base as well," MotoGP CCO Dan Rossomondo said. But the partnership with Fox is what truly has MotoGP officials and its fans excited about the sport's trajectory. The two-year deal enables some stability for the series, along with an opportunity for new fans to be introduced to it. 'We're going to get some new people trialing our sport, and I think once you trial it, you'll love it,' Rossomondo said. MotoGP is unique amongst motor sports, as its races are only 45 minutes long. It easily fits into an hour-long TV slot, and it's perfect for fans in an era when no one can sit still for several hours. Similar to Formula 1, because it is an international series, MotoGP's races often air at crazy hours in America. On the east coast, that could mean an 8 a.m. event on Sunday mornings or 5 a.m. on the west coast. 'We don't want to just rely on the 22 races that we have this year,' Rossomondo said. The growth for MotoGP should only continue, as Liberty Media will fully take over the majority control of the series. The move will only further align MotoGP with an international flare. And in America, Trackhouse Racing, owned by Justin Marks, started a MotoGP team to branch out his team. With riders Raúl Fernández and Ai Ogura, sitting 18th and 12th in the standings, respectively, America's presence in the sport is growing. 'To me, the biggest thing that Justin brings is just a fresh eye on the sport,' Rossomondo said of Marks, who owns a Nascar team. 'It takes a long time to get acclimated inside of our paddock, and he's got a lot of things going on. But he really just brings a new perspective, and it's a fresh perspective and he's always asking the right questions.' In addition to the Fox deal, MotoGP struck another deal with a major American firm. Harley-Davidson formed a new Harley-Davidson championship series that will launch next year. The 12-race series will compete during six Grand Prix, with six to eight teams. 'We want to get more eyeballs on us in the United States, and that was the kind of combination we made,' Rossomondo said of the partnership. We're going to build out a garage for them that's going to be a unique area inside our fan zone. We're going to build out different and it's going to look different than our paddock." MotoGP will compete this weekend with the GoPro Grand Prix of Aragon.
