MINNESOTA, USA – BJ Murray hit a home run on Friday night to help his Iowa Cubs get a 10-7 win over the St. Paul saints. But it wasn’t how you expected.

Hitting from the left side of the plate, the third baseman smoked a line drive in the right-center gap in the eight inning.

Cubs future star Owen Caissie was able to score from first base and he was on his horse himself, touching all 4 bases to get the home run.

Hayden Wesneski got the win on the mound in relief taking over in the 4th inning, pitching 3 innings, striking out four.

NPBA

Roosevelt Riley also had 25 and he pounded the glass to the tune of 16 rebounds.

NBA

Kai Jones is getting a fresh start on the west coast. The 6’11” big man from New Providence signed a multi-year deal with the Los Angeles Clippers, the announcement made earlier today.

Details of the deal are mum at the time of this recording but he is eligible to play immediately and will participate in this year’s playoff run.

Kai just came off a 10-day contract with the Philadelphia 76ers where he didn’t play much, but his combination of run-jump athleticism and size are always at a premium in the NBA and the Clippers are looking to make a deep run this year.
