Calgary overcame an 11-point deficit and hung on for a thrilling 28-22 victory over the Alouettes in C-F-L action. In his first career start, Stampeders rookie quarterback Jake Meier threw for 304 yards and a touchdown. The 24-year-old replaced Bo Levi Mitchell, who is out with a fractured fibula. Montreal’s Vernon Adams Junior threw for 261 yards, two touchdowns and an interception.
Canada came from behind in a 5-3 win over Finland to kick off the women’s world hockey championship in Calgary. The host Canadians were down two goals after the opening period. The U-S began their title defence by defeating Switzerland 3-0 in their opening preliminary-round match in Group A. Brianna Decker and Kendall Coyne Schofield each had a goal and an assist.
The Boston Red Sox bounced back from a series sweep to beat the Texas Rangers 6-0 in Major League Baseball. Chris Sales pitched five shutout innings in his second outing since Tommy John surgery. The Sox were coming off three straight losses to the Yankees. Boston is one-and-a-half games behind New York in the American League wild-card race.
Rookie running back Jaret Patterson scored the go-ahead touchdown in the fourth quarter in Washington’s 17-13 N-F-L pre-season victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. Patterson, an undrafted free agent from Buffalo, ran for 71 yards, caught three passes for 25 yards and had a 37-yard kickoff return. His 1-yard scoring plunge was Washington’s only touchdown.
Two first-half goals by Joe Mason gave Cavalry F-C a 2-1 victory over Pacific F-C in the Canadian Premier League. It was a battle between the top two teams in the C-P-L. Second-place Cavalry extended its unbeaten run to four games. The Calgary-based club cut Pacific’s lead atop the standings to one point.
