The Nashville Sounds concluded a wild day with a 2-1 win over the Omaha Storm Chasers on a walk-off wild pitch in front of 8,087 fans Friday night at First Tennessee Park.

Sounds shortstop Chad Pinder raced home with the winning run to push Nashville’s record to 55-45. The start of the game was delayed due to travel delays the Sounds and much of the Pacific...

The CHS Red Raider and Lady Raider golf teams battled a full field of teams, scorching hot temperatures and a tough Lakewood County Club course to capture a pair of top 5 finishes on Thursday as part of the Tullahoma preseason tournament.

Rockies right fielder Carlos Gonzalez and pinch-hitter Mark Reynolds made their homers count Thursday night in a 7-3 victory over the Braves at Coors Field. Gonzalez’s three-run homer in the sixth inning, off Braves starter Mike Foltynewicz, carried a 114.1-mph exit velocity and a projected distance of 459 feet — the second-hardest and second-longest homer for Gonzalez this year, according to Statcast™. More important, it was Gonzalez’s first homer in 23 plate appearances and, even better, his first homer in a Rockies win in 73 plate appearances since June 27. “You can’t fall behind one of the best fastball...

In the second match, Lawrence County, who was a late replacement...

With one out, Jose Peraza hit a two-run single to center field that scored Jay Bruce and...
