AUSL championship series postponed after weather delay: When does Game 1 resume?
The Talons were three outs away from defeating the Bandits in Game 1 of the Athletes Unlimited Softball League's inaugural championship series, but inclement weather rained on their parade Saturday, July 26, in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. The first game in the best-of-three series was postponed in the bottom of the sixth inning as the Talons led the Bandits 3-1 after rainstorms led to multiple weather delays at Rhoads Stadium. Game 1 will resume on Sunday, July 27, at 11 a.m. ET on ESPN2, followed by Game 2 of the title series at 2 p.m. ET on ESPN. "Thank you for your understanding and support," the AUSL said in a statement. Here's everything you need to know about the AUSL championship series: What happened in Game 1 of the AUSL championship series? Game 1 was originally scheduled to get underway at 3 p.m. ET on Saturday, but rainstorms and lightning led to a two-hour weather delay and pushed the start back to 5 p.m. ET. The first three innings of Game 1 featured a pitchers duel between the Talons' Georgina Corrick and the Bandits' Lexi Kilfoyl, which many fans expected as Corrick (2.04) and Kilfoyl (2.35) had the lowest ERAs in the entire league entering Saturday. However, the bats got going in the fourth inning as each pitcher went through the lineup a second time. In the top of the fourth inning, the Bandits' Bubba Nickles-Camarena hit a blooper to left field that scored Delanie Wisz from second base for the first run of the game. The Talons immediately answered back in the bottom of the fourth inning with a solo home run from Tori Vidales to tie it up, 1-1. The Bandits brought in pitcher Emiley Kennedy to start the fifth inning, but the Texas A&M alum faced immediate pressure after walking Sierra Sacco and hitting Maya Brady, the first two batters she faced. The free passes came back to bite. The Talons' Sydney Romero moved her teammates into scoring position with a sacrifice bunt and Caroline Jacobsen brought in Sacco with a grounder to second base. The play at home was close, but Sacco slid in before the tag was applied. Vidales followed up with a sacrifice fly to score Brady and give the Talons a 3-1 lead. Corrick returned to the mound for the sixth inning and retired the side in order, before another weather delay went into effect. The Talons are 14-0 this season when leading after five innings. Will the Talons keep the momentum going or will the Bandits answer back? When does the AUSL championship series resume? Game 1 of the AUSL championship series will resume on ESPN2 on Sunday, July 27 at 11 a.m. ET (10 a.m. local) at Rhoads Stadium in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Game 2 will follow at 2 p.m. ET (1 p.m. local).

Former UNC pitcher named amongst ESPN's Top 50 MLB Trade Deadline candidates
Don't be shocked to see this former Diamond Heel on a new MLB team come August. Athletes will struggle, even at the professional level. Just ask Arizona Diamondbacks pitcher Zac Gallen, the former UNC standout who is mired in the worst season of his MLB career. Gallen, who finished top fiv ive in NL CY Young voting for the 2023 MLB season, currently sports a 7-10 win-loss record with a 5.40 earned run average. Despite striking out 110 batters, good enough for 30th amongst all pitchers, Gallen just gave up six runs in a Saturday loss to the sub-.500 Los Angeles Angels. Sometimes, players just need a change of scenery to rediscover their talent. Such could be the case for Gallen, whom ESPN recently named a Top 50 Trade Deadline Candidate. "Gallen was excellent for the past three seasons but now, in a contract year, is posting career-worst numbers in almost every category," Kiley McDaniel and Jeff Passan wrote. "His stuff looks similar, but he's allowing much more damage when hitters make contact. That said, his strikeout-to-walk ratio is back to normal in his past five starts, at 29-to-5, despite a 6.04 ERA in that span. Diamondbacks general manager Mike Hazen said the team does not plan to deal away players at the deadline, but if Arizona doesn't make a run, it could reap a huge return with all its impending free agents." Arizona is in a comfortable spot itself, sitting at .500 and eight games out of first place in the NL West, with a deficit even closer in the wild card race. I'm sure the Diamondbacks want the former Diamond Heel for their playoff push – and they have until July 31 to decide. Gallen compiled a 14-13 win-loss record at North Carolina, compiling a 3.36 ERA and striking out 231 batters. Gallen was part of Arizona's World Series run in 2023, starting Game 1 as its staff ace, then followed that season up with a 14-6 campaign in 2024. Will Gallen stay put in the desert or join a World Series contender? You'll know by Thursday, July 31, better known as the trade deadline.

Blue Jays Trade Package Sends Top Prospects to Twins
Blue Jays Trade Package Sends Top Prospects to Twins originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Four years after landing José Berríos in a splashy deadline deal, the Toronto Blue Jays could be eyeing another impact arm from the Minnesota Twins. Advertisement In a proposal from Mitch Bannon and Jim Bowden of The Athletic, Toronto sends shortstop Arjun Nimmala and right-hander Trey Yesavage to Minnesota in exchange for All-Star starter Joe Ryan. Ryan, 29, has blossomed into a bona fide ace this season, posting a 2.76 ERA with 10 strikeouts per nine innings. He's long been known for his deceptive fastball, but this year, he's elevated from underrated to elite, earning his first All-Star nod and emerging as a potential Game 1 starter in the postseason. Jun 8, 2025; Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA; Minnesota Twins starting pitcher Joe Ryan (41) delivers a pitch during the first inning against the Toronto Blue Jays at Target Field© Jordan Johnson-Imagn Images "A move of this magnitude could clear the Jays' prospect cupboards, but would return an obvious Game 1 starter who could head the rotation for multiple years," Bannon wrote. Advertisement To match Ryan's value, the Blue Jays would need to part with top-end talent. Nimmala, who was Toronto's first-round pick in 2022 and has recently climbed to No. 1 on the Blue Jays prospect rankings, thanks to his impressive power potential and athleticism at shortstop. Another player of interest is Yesavage, Toronto's 2024 first-round draft pick, who has made a remarkable impact in his first full professional season, earning accolades for his exceptional strike-throwing ability and high-velocity repertoire. Yesavage is 5-1 with a 3.19 ERA with 111 strikeouts and 30 walks in 67 2/3 innings across three minor-league levels. The proposed trade mirrors what Toronto gave up for Berríos in 2021, when Austin Martin and Simeon Woods Richardson were dealt to Minnesota in a similarly aggressive play for controllable pitching. With the Twins slipping in the American League Central, now may be the time to "sell high" on Ryan. However, this isn't a salary dump, it's a blockbuster that would reshape both teams' outlooks for years to come. For a Blue Hats team in need of a front-line starter, this is the kind of calculated risk that could define their season.
