Calgary's Wild FC downs Halifax Tides 3-2 in Northern Super League
CALGARY - Calgary's Wild FC held off the Halifax Tides 3-2 on Thursday in the Northern Super League. Wild (3-2-2) scored three first-half goals before the winless Tides (0-5-1) countered with two late in the second. Calgary extended its undefeated run to four straight games with two wins and two draws in that span. Wild FC defeated the Tides 4-1 in Halifax on April 26 for Calgary's first NSL victory, and a week after the six-team NSL launched with the Vancouver Rise blanking Calgary 1-0. The Wild's Taegan Stewart scored her first career NSL goal when the 17-year-old Calgarian drilled a right-foot shot from the centre box home in first-half extra time. Jenaya Robertson of Delta, B.C., made it 2-0 for the hosts at McMahon Stadium with a left-footed strike in the 41st minute. Australian defender Ally Green got Calgary's first-half scoring burst underway in the 23rd minute. Wild goalkeeper Stephanie Bukovec's bid for a third clean sheet in four games was foiled when Haligonian Saorla Miller and Japanese striker Megumi Nakamura scored in the 72nd and 76th minutes respectively for the Tides. Bukovec and Halifax keeper Erin McLeod, who has appeared in 119 games for the Canadian women's team, each made one save. Bukovec was the busier of the two women with 68 touches to McLeod's 36. Wild FC's next game is against AFC Toronto in Calgary on June 14. The Tides host Ottawa Rapid FC on June 10. Toronto versus Ottawa and Vancouver against Montreal Roses FC is Saturday's NSL match lineup. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 5, 2025.

The Rise controlled possession 58 per cent of the match and outshot the visitors 9-6 in goal attempts while Vancouver had the edge in shots on target, 2-1. Vancouver's Morgan McAslan registered the shutout, the second of the season as the Rise won their first game 1-0 against Calgary to open the season. Spencer's goal was a boon for the Rise getting production from a defender. The veteran, from Bay Shore New York, has previously played for the OL Reign, Orlando Pride, Western New York Flash, Angel City FC and Washington Spirit in the NWSL. The Rise had a significant advantage in attacking play, they notched 11 corners compared to the Tides' two. One of the few areas Halifax had the edge was in cautions by the referee, notching three of four yellow cards doled out on the night. The Rise are second in the early-season standings with six points, three behind undefeated Montreal. Their next game is against Toronto on Sunday where the hosts have one win and two losses on the season. UP NEXT Vancouver: Visits AFC Toronto on Sunday.

Krilich's walk-off home run lifts Gig Harbor to 3A PSL title over Capital, 7-5
It's the scenario every baseball player imagines in their backyard growing up: Tie game, bottom of the seventh, and one swing away from a championship. And with his chance for an unforgettable postseason moment, Cole Krilich called game. Gig Harbor's right fielder fouled off strike two, fought off another to stay alive, then barreled his next offering for a no-doubt, walk-off home run in Monday's 3A Puget Sound League championship game. Krilich wasn't sure if the blast would clear the left field fence, but his team knew instantly, erupting from the dugout to congratulate their hero before the baseball could land. 'How could you not be romantic about baseball?' Tides head coach Ben Sleeter chuckled. '(Cole's) a senior, been an unbelievable player, and I knew he was due. 'I think everybody had a feeling he was going to do something there.' Tied at five in the home seventh, Ethan Mar drew a leadoff walk and Krilich followed with a championship-winning swing, lifting Gig Harbor to a 7-5 win over Capital in a thrilling, back-and-forth affair at Lincoln High School. Both programs advance to next week's district tournament. 'It felt good,' Krilich smiled. 'It's pretty cool. We've had a good season so far, and we're just proving we can still do well. We're a good team.' The Tides (21-1) fought back from a late, 5-2 deficit for their 21st win of the season, a year defined by dominant pitching and dazzling defense. Capital's five runs are the most allowed by Gig Harbor all spring. Gig Harbor's used to winning — just not this way. It wasn't the all-around clinic the Tides are accustomed to, but they're calm and confident even when opponents grab momentum or pull away with a late lead. 'It's just confidence and believing that we can win every game,' Krilich said. '(We) go into every game thinking we're going to win. That just keeps it rolling.' The Tides plated three runs in the fifth inning to tie Monday night's PSL championship, capped by Ethan Mar's RBI single and Wesley Bonnici's game-tying, bases-loaded walk with two outs. Gig Harbor saved their best at-bats for the fifth, including Hunter Payne's 10-pitch walk and hits by Jayce Corley and Greyson Riley that sparked the comeback. Gig Harbor starter Quentin Bockhorn, who posted a 0.21 ERA with 39 strikeouts in the regular season, went just three innings, allowing three hits and two runs (one earned) with one walk and four strikeouts. He plunked two batters. 'We didn't defend today like we've defended all year,' Sleeter said. 'We kind of threw it around a bit, uncharacteristic of us. But the one thing these guys have shown all year long is that they don't get down. Two runs, three runs, they know they can come back. 'I told them, they lean on people. They lean and lean and lean, and eventually, they put enough pressure and something good happens.' Mar reached safely in all four plate appearances, finishing 1-for-1 with three walks and three runs. Corley and Riley each went 2-for-4. Capital starter Lucas Redman took a no-hitter into the fourth inning and kept Monday's championship within reach, allowing five hits and four earned runs (four strikeouts) across five frames. He threw 103 pitches. Cougars shortstop Gavin Dolan scored from third base and put Capital on the board in the first inning, 1-0, when Tides catcher Troy Tackett's pick-off attempt sailed into left field. Dolan scored again from third base on a wild pitch in the third inning and doubled the Cougars lead, 2-0. The Tides plated two runs in the fourth when Payne rifled an RBI single to right field — Gig Harbor's first hit — and Mar raced home on a passed ball. Capital and Gig Harbor traded three runs apiece in the fifth inning before Krilich's title-winning swing in the seventh. The District 3/4 3A tournament begins next Tuesday and concludes with the title game at Auburn High School on May 17. Of the 16 district allocations, seven advance to the state bracket. 'We'll clean it up,' Sleeter said, 'and hopefully go compete.' 'Unbelievable' defense, elite pitching power Gig Harbor's 20-1 season BELLARMINE PREP ADVANCES TO DISTRICT TOURNAMENT No. 8 Bellarmine Prep 7, No. 7 Timberline 2 Raiden Calcote's go-ahead, two-run single broke a 2-2 tie in the fifth inning and powered Bellarmine Prep's 7-2 win over Timberline in Monday afternoon's loser-out playoff at Lincoln. The Lions grabbed the 3A PSL's final district tournament allocation behind Calcote's clutch hitting and four strong innings from senior right-hander Dolan Wynne, who allowed two hits and two runs with six strikeouts. Joshua Morales earned Monday's save with three shutout relief innings. He struck out seven. Bellarmine's Calvin Dossett padded the lead with a two-run double in the sixth.

The North West 200 is back in action this week with thousands of people expected to descend upon the north coast for the racing influx of people also means big business for local vendors in the area. The Causeway Chamber estimated that the total economic impact of the North West 200 last year was more than £ of Causeway Chamber James Kilgore said the event "brings communities together, creates seasonal jobs, and generates long-term tourism interest well beyond race week". For many businesses, preparations began well in advance of race Chestnutt is the manager of The Three Kings Coffee shop in Portstewart, located minutes away from the said the North West 200 is a very busy week for the shop with queues expected to be out of the door."Our stock will be prepared all week now for it, the kitchen will do their own stock and preparation and our deli counter," she said."We have got a busy shop but the events help us so very much economically." Hotels fully booked Adele Kenney works at the Inn On The Coast, which overlooks the race track. "We look forward to this week every year," Adele said. Preparations for putting up a stand for visitors to purchase tickets to watch the race at the venue began two weeks ago."Once the scaffolding goes up, we do have a lot of explaining to do for our customers, but they then become excited about it," she said."I sold two programmes to two people from Germany and they aren't even here for the race, [they] just wanted to know more about it."Adele says the key item to keep the staff going during the busy period is sweets."We take a lot of sugar on board and just keep going and keep on smiling, there is actually a queue of staff wanting to work race Saturday, not the other way around," she said."It is a big week for the inn, you couldn't do without it up here, it kicks off your summer."We are very proud of the North West 200 and we are very proud that it's on our doorstep." Dylan Neill is the manager of Tides restaurant, which is situated right beside the race track. The Tides usually opens from 12:30 BST, but for the North West it will open at 08: said the preparation is "a lot of work" but the hard work is worth it for his team."We have built our own bar this year for the outside area instead of using beer pumps, so we've made a couple of improvements," Dylan said."It brings so many tourists in, it helps staff get their hours in because usually at this time of year its quiet because of kids in school."Rolling coverage, analysis, features and results throughout the event will be available on the BBC Sport NI website.
