Caitlin Clark made history last night in a way nobody in the WNBA ever has. The Indiana Fever star dropped forty-five points and dished out ten assists, becoming the first player in league history with a forty-ten game. Indiana edged Seattle one hundred ten to one hundred seven, and Clark keeps rewriting the record books every time she steps on the floor.
Across the Atlantic, the football world is holding its breath ahead of Sunday's World Cup final, where Lionel Messi's Argentina will face Lamine Yamal's Spain. Messi called their viral two thousand seven photo together, where he posed with a baby Yamal, simply incredible. He skipped Friday's press conference, letting the moment speak for itself as he prepares for what may be his final World Cup match ever.
Back on the diamond, Chris Sale was absolutely untouchable in Atlanta. The Braves lefty threw seven shutout innings of two-hit ball, striking out Rangers shortstop Ezequiel Duran in the fifth to become the twenty-seventh pitcher in major league history to reach two thousand seven hundred career strikeouts. Atlanta won fifteen to one in a dominant performance all around.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
