Pirates 4, Cubs 3 – McCutchen’s two-run double lifts Pirates over Cubs 4-3 as fan falls from 21-foot wall
Andrew McCutchen hit a go-ahead two-run double in the seventh inning just seconds before a fan fell off the 21-foot Clemente Wall in right field at PNC Park as the Pittsburgh Pirates defeated the Chicago Cubs 4-3. McCutchen’s grounder up the middle deflected off the leg of sliding shortstop Dansby Swanson and into right-center field. The Pirates snapped a three-game losing streak. Then the fan flipped over the railing from the first row of seats. Players frantically waved for medical attention and the fan was removed from the field on a cart.

MLB – Man falls from 21-foot Clemente Wall at PNC Park during Pirates game
A man fell from the 21-foot-high Clemente Wall in right field at PNC Park during Wednesday night’s game between the Pittsburgh Pirates and Chicago Cubs. Right after Andrew McCutchen hit a two-run double in the seventh inning to put the Pirates ahead 4-3, players began waving frantically for medical personnel. The fan was tended to for approximately five minutes by members of both the Pirates and Cubs training staffs as well as PNC personnel before being removed from the field on a cart. Players from both teams could be seen praying and McCutchen held a cross that hung from his neck while the fan was taken off the field.

NFL – NFL fines Falcons and defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich following prank call
The Atlanta Falcons have been fined $250,000 and defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich has been fined $100,000 as a result of Ulbrich’s son participating in a prank call to Shedeur Sanders during the NFL draft. The NFL confirmed the fines for the roles the Falcons and Ulbrich played in failing to prevent the disclosure of confidential information distributed to the club ahead of the draft. The Falcons, who disclosed the role of Ulbrich’s 21-year-old son Jax in the prank call Friday as the son of Hall of Famer Deion Sanders was waiting for his name to be called in the draft, said they accept the discipline from the league.

The average paid price of $440 per ticket on the secondary market as of Wednesday has made it the most in-demand event involving Clark. That’s according to ticketing technology company Victory Live.

WNBA – WBNA already looking ahead to free agency with so many players possibly moving
WNBA training camps just opened and there already are so many eyes on the 2026 season when more than 100 players will be free agents. Nearly all of the league’s top players could be on the move, including 20 of last season’s All-Stars. A’ja Wilson and Breanna Stewart are among the star-studded group on one-year contracts knowing that a new collective bargaining agreement will hopefully be in place next season that is expected to monumentally increase salaries. The WNBA begins an 11-year $2.2 billion media rights deal in 2026 which is where the shift will come from. Currently WNBA players can have a maximum base salary of $250,000.
NCAAFB – Belichick defends Hudson after interjecting during CBS interview
North Carolina football coach Bill Belichick has defended girlfriend Jordon Hudson for interjecting during a CBS interviewer’s questions about their relationship and said she was “simply doing her job.” The six-time Super Bowl-winning head coach issued a statement through UNC on Wednesday. That followed an appearance on "CBS News Sunday Morning” to promote his upcoming book on his coaching life. In the interview, Hudson objected to a question about how the two had met. The 73-year-old Belichick said in his statement that the segment presents “selectively edited clips” to “suggest a false narrative" that the 24-year-old Hudson tried to control the interview.
Lacrosse hazing included high schoolers staging armed abduction, prosecutor says
A prosecutor in Syracuse, New York, says he’ll bring charges against several students suspected in a violent hazing linked to a high school lacrosse team. He says five victims were tricked into a simulated kidnapping. Authorities say at least one appears to have been abducted at gunpoint and tied up in events that were recorded on video. The student was later released and suffered no physical injuries. Prosecutors on Tuesday offered an amnesty period for the suspects to turn themselves in and face misdemeanor, instead of felony, charges. By Wednesday, authorities say all 11 people believed involved had come forward.
