You're tuned in to Sports Desk, let's get after it.
The United States women's hockey team is not playing around. Caroline Harvey torched Austria for a hat trick Monday as the defending champions rolled to an eleven to one demolition at the world championship. Hilary Knight pushed her all-time worlds record to seventy goals, and Canada kept pace by shutting out host Denmark ten to nothing. Both teams remain perfect and on a collision course.
Shifting to the diamond, baseball handed out its highest rookie honors Monday night and the Midwest delivered in a big way. Detroit's Kevin McGonigle, just twenty-one years old for most of the season, hit two seventy-eight with eighteen home runs and seventy-two RBIs while splitting time between third and short. Cincinnati's Sal Stewart claimed the National League side, continuing a remarkable run of first-year talent out of the Reds organization.
And out in Arizona, the Gardner Minshew era is already looking like a closed chapter. The Cardinals signed veteran quarterback Josh Johnson, signaling the likely end of Minshew's season after barely six quarters of action. It's a tough turn for a franchise still searching for stability under center heading into the back half of the year.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
