Tom Slingsby of Team Australia held on through a few tense moments after his catamaran fell off its foils and then prevailed over rival Peter Burling of New Zealand in a short dash to the finish to claim his third straight $1 million, winner-take-all SailGP season championship Sunday on San Francisco Bay.Slingsby, who has dominated tech tycoon Larry Ellison’s global league since it debuted in 2019, dodged what could have been a huge embarrassment when he recovered and kept his 50-foot Flying Roo — nicknamed for the giant yellow kangaroo on the wingsail — ahead of Burling for the thrilling victory. British star Sir Ben Ainslie finished a distant third in the Grand Final.“That was not the plan. I thought we lost it,” a relieved Slingsby said right after the race. “We had it the whole way. That was crazy. I was very scared. I was thinking this could be the biggest choke of all time right now, but fortunately we were able to get it over the line. What a race.”Slingsby and his four...

Bart’s homer: Colon marks unexpected blast with first pitch

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:37:55 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — Bartolo Colon celebrated the seventh anniversary of his unlikely homer by doing something perhaps more unexpected: bouncing a ceremonial first pitch.Colon, renowned far more for his pinpoint control than his bat throughout a 21-year big league career, tossed a first pitch to Francisco Lindor that bounced just shy of home plate at Citi Field before the New York Mets’ 13-6 loss to Colorado on Sunday.Colon, who last pitched in the big leagues in 2018 and turns 50 on May 24, laughed and later hugged Rockies manager Bud Black, his pitching coach when Colon won the AL Cy Young Award for the Angels in 2005.Prior to the first pitch, the crowd of 36,501 offered a warm ovation as the Mets aired a clip of Colon’s homer, a 365-foot shot off San Diego’s James Shields.At just shy of 43 years old, Colon was the oldest player to hit his first career homer. It was one of just five extra-base hits he delivered in a career in which he hit .084 in 299 at-bats.He played for the Met...

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 08:37:55 GMT

CINCINNATI (AP) — Hanser Alberto had four hits, a career-high four RBIs and the Chicago White Sox scored 11 runs in the second inning to rout the Cincinnati Reds 17-4 on Sunday.The 11 runs are the most for the team in one inning in 16 years and third-most ever for the franchise. The White Sox had 11 runs in the fifth at Kansas City on Sept. 17, 2007.The offensive outburst could be a big boost for the White Sox who will be without designated hitter Eloy Jiménez for up to six weeks following his appendectomy.“We lost Eloy and we’ll miss him,” Alberto said. “We know what kind of player he is. We want him to come back to see a better team. We need to just go out there and have fun, score some runs, and do some damage.” The White Sox, who’ve struggled this season with runners in scoring position, delivered plenty of big hits against Graham Ashcraft (2-1) in the second, sending 14 batters to the plate. Alberto hit a two-run homer to snap Ashcraft’s 33-inning homerless streak. ...
