A new deal for Murphy. Hi, I'm Mike Clemens with Sports Baseball.
The Milwaukee Brewers have signed manager Pat Murphy to a new three-year contract extension after leading the team to the playoffs the past two seasons.
The Brewers host the Cleveland Guardians tomorrow afternoon at 2-10 and their first cactus league action.
Murphy asks what positions are open competitions.
I mean, I'd like to say everywhere, but we've got some guys that have the right itch factor.
You know, that what we have to do is keep them hungry.
At the Winter Olympics, the U.S. women's hockey team beat Canada 2-1 to win the gold medal.
Former Badgers Hillary Knight scored late in the third period to send the game into overtime.
We came out a little slow in the first, started to pick up momentum in a second.
The third, when you have a one gold deficit against Canada, great team.
You have to find the back of the net. You can also run out of time against a great team.
So, a fortunate that we have an amazing squad to be able to get the job done.
The NBA, the Bucks back in action tonight against the Pelicans in New Orleans with sports on Mike Clemens.

High to day 33, tonight mostly cloudy down to 20 tomorrow.
Partly to mostly cloudy with a high of 32.
