Raleigh turned into one massive party Saturday as thousands of Hurricanes faithful packed the streets for the Stanley Cup championship parade. Fans spilled onto sidewalks, filled office windows, and stacked up floor by floor in parking decks just to catch a glimpse of their champions. Carolina earned every bit of that celebration.
Across the Atlantic, the Dutch showed up to the World Cup and made a statement nobody's forgetting anytime soon. Cody Gakpo and Brian Brobbey each found the net twice as the Netherlands dismantled Sweden five to one in Houston in front of nearly sixty-nine thousand fans. That result puts the Dutch right on the doorstep of the knockout rounds before the group stage even heats up.
And in Milwaukee, Brewers manager Pat Murphy is dealing with more than a tough stretch in the standings. Murphy revealed Saturday he's scheduled for hip surgery this Thursday on an off day, with a back procedure to follow during the All-Star break. Credit to him for pushing through, but the club will need to manage carefully while their skipper recovers.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
