JORGE POLANCO HIT A GAME-ENDING SACRIFICE FLY IN THE NINTH INNING LIFTING THE TWINS TO A 5-4 WIN OVER TAMPA BAY.
SYLVIA FOWLES HAD 20 POINTS, 11 REBOUNDS AND THREE STEALS AS THE MINNESOTA LYNX BEAT THE NEW YORK LIBERTY 88-78 FOR THEIR 8TH STRAIGHT WIN.
IT WAS AN UGLY PRESEASON OPENER FOR THE VIKINGS ON SATURDAY, AS THEY FAILED TO FIND THE ENDZONE IN A 33-6 LOSS TO THE DENVER BRONCOS. MOST OFFENSIVE STARTERS DIDN’T PLAY AT ALL, AND ONLY A FEW DEFENSIVE FIRST STRINGERS PLAYED. DENVER DIDN’T FIND OUT MUCH IN THEIR QUARTERBACK BATTLE, AS BOTH DREW LOCK AND TEDDY BRIDGEWATER PLAYED WELL ENOUGH TO STATE THEIR CASE. VIKINGS ROOKIE QUARTERBACK KELLEN MOND WAS JUST 6 OF 16 FOR 53 YARDS.
FOR THE PACKERS, QUARTERBACK JORDAN LOVE PLAYED WELL, GOING 12 OF 17 WITH 122 YARDS AND A TOUCHDOWN. HE DID INJURE A SHOULDER, BUT AN MRI SHOWS NO DAMAGE.
ROOKIE JUSTIN FIELDS FOR THE CHICAGO BEARS LOOKED GOOD. HE WAS 14 OF 20 FOR 142 AND A TOUCHDOWN.
