The Badgers fell behind 14-0 in the first half and could not overcome a slow start, losing 22-9. After what seemed to be a promising start to this season, FWB now finds itself with a record of 1-3.

It was the second win in a row for the Black Knights, who now find themselves at 2-2. Photo by the Observer
Bottom right: New York Yankees starting pitcher Masahiro Tanaka looks away as he gives up a home run against the Toronto Blue Jays at the Rogers Centre. The Bronx Bombers lost 8-1, but a loss by the Los Angeles Angels lowered their magic number to 1 to clinch at least a wild card spot in the American League Playoffs. A win today or Toronto or an Angels loss to Houston will get the Yanks in.
