In Brooklyn Saturday night, the New York Liberty held off a fierce Indiana Fever comeback to escape with the win at Barclays Center. Caitlin Clark put up twenty one points and seven assists, but a brutal late sequence, a missed layup and missed free throws, ended Indiana's charge before it could fully ignite. Leonie Fiebich, back after seven weeks on the shelf, dropped twenty points in thirty four minutes and was the difference maker New York needed.
Across the Atlantic, Bayern Munich reminded everyone why they're Bayern Munich, grinding out a two to one victory over Borussia Dortmund in the Franz Beckenbauer Supercup. The scoreline looked close, but the statistical gap was anything but, with Bayern exerting near total control at Signal Iduna Park. Harry Kane and Joshua Kimmich were on the scoresheet celebrating, and the German giants served notice early in the new campaign.
And in Texas, Rangers first baseman Jake Burger took a pitch off the left wrist in the third inning Saturday against the Angels and did not return. X-rays came back clear, which is the best news Texas could have asked for, but the club will monitor him closely as the playoff push continues to heat up.
That's your play-by-play. Sports Desk, back to the booth.
