Congratulations to Pontiac High School’s Sarah Christopher for signing a National Letter of Intent to run track at Central College of Iowa. Christopher had three top-10 finishes at the Bloomington Invitational last Friday, in the 400-meter dash and the 4×400 and 4×100 relays.

The opener of the Chicago Cubs-St. Louis Cardinals series was called off because of the nasty weather in Chicago. The game will be made up as part of a day night doubleheader on July 21.

The White Sox finally got to play after a game after an entire three-game series at the Twins was snowed out. The Sox bullpen gave up three runs in the seventh inning and three more in the eighth as Oakland pulled away to an 8-1 win.

Kyle Busch won the rain delayed Food City 500 at Bristol Tennessee to win his second straight race.
