The Finlandia University women’s soccer team fought to a 2-2 tie with Maranatha Baptist yesterday afternoon. Alexia Gonzales and Kirsten L’Esperance scored for the Lions. The Lions outshot the Sabercats 10-1 in the two overtime periods, but couldn’t break the stalemate.

The Detroit Tigers scored four runs in the eighth inning, and defeated the Minnesota Twins 4-2 last night. Spencer Turnbull gave up a run over six innings to earn the win. Trailing 1-0 in the top of the eighth, Nicholas Castellanos and Niko Goodrum singled home runs, and James McCann drove in two with a double. The Twins rallied in the bottom of the eighth, scoring once off Joe Jiménez, but Alex Wilson came in with the bases loaded, and got a fly ball out to end the inning.
The Tigers continue that series at Minnesota tonight. Matthew Boyd will start against Jake Odorizzi. Pregame coverage will begin at 7:45 on 99.3 The Lift.
The Milwaukee Brewers got another big win last night, defeating the Saint Louis Cardinals 12-4. Christian Yelich drove in six runs, Ryan Braun homered twice, and Jesús Aguilar went deep once.
