Jazz Chisholm and the Yankees take ALCS lead

The last time the New York Yankees had a 2-0 lead in the American League Championship Series, they went on to win the 2009 World Series.

Jazz Chisholm Jr. and the 2024 Yankees just took a 2-0 lead in the ALCS. We’ll see what happens next.

Chisholm broke out of his slump at the plate, helping the Yankees take a 6-3 win over the Cleveland Guardians last night at Yankee Stadium.

He doubled to lead off the sixth inning, bringing an end to an 0-11 stretch at the plate and a three-game hitless streak.

The series now shifts to Progressive Field in Cleveland for Game 3 tomorrow afternoon at 5:08 p.m. Clarke Schmidt will take the mound for the Yankees, while the Guardians are expected to counter with Matthew Boyd.

Ole Miss Rebels ranked in AP preseason poll

The Associated Press released its NCAA women’s basketball preseason poll, and the Ole Miss Rebels were ranked in the top 25.

Head coach Yolett McPhee-McCuin and sophomore wing Rhema Collins lead the team into the 2024-25 season with a No. 20 ranking.

This marks the second consecutive year and the 18th time in school history that the Rebels have earned preseason honors from the Associated Press.

The SEC remains one of the toughest conferences in women’s college basketball, with Ole Miss among seven teams featured in the preseason top 25.
