Welcome to Sports Desk, let's get into it.
Junior Caminero has been an absolute force this season, and Friday night he put an exclamation point on it. The Tampa Bay Rays are postseason bound after Caminero launched his fortieth home run of the year, a three-run walk-off shot off the Houston Astros, sealing a three to one victory and making Tampa the first team in baseball to clinch a playoff spot this season.
Shifting to the gridiron, Steve Young is not handing out compliments lightly, but he's got real respect for Brock Purdy right now. After San Francisco dismantled the Los Angeles Rams twenty-seven to seven in Australia to open the season, Young singled out an underrated dimension of Purdy's game, suggesting the twenty-six year old quarterback is operating at a level that still isn't getting its proper due nationally.
And in college football, Kansas delivered one of the most electric plays of the early season against rival Missouri. Leroy Harris the third blocked a twenty-seven yard field goal attempt, and Austin Alexander scooped it up and took it eighty-eight yards to the house, putting the Jayhawks on the board first with the game still very much up for grabs.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
