Carolina is staring down a two-to-one series deficit in the Stanley Cup Final after a gut-punch double overtime loss Saturday. The Hurricanes gave up four goals in the second period, clawed back to tie it in the third, then watched it slip away on a bad bounce. Game four is Tuesday, and the hill just got a whole lot steeper.
Shifting to baseball, the New York Mets are already sitting at twenty-eight and thirty-six, and now there's more bad news out of Queens. Jorge Polanco has reportedly re-injured his achilles, according to manager Carlos Mendoza. The veteran was nearly ready to return, and now that timeline is completely blown up. It has been a season that simply refuses to turn the corner.
Meanwhile, one of cricket's most electric talents has been quietly shown the door. Suryakumar Yadav, who captained India to the T-twenty World Cup title just three months ago, has been dropped entirely from the T-twenty setup. At thirty-five, selectors say the numbers and the forward-looking roster planning no longer add up in his favor. A stunning fall for a player who seemed untouchable not long ago.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
