And a game heard earlier on WRC-107.7 and AM-1450. Rookie Victor Scott's the second had three hits
and scored the run that snapped a scoreless tie in the seventh, leading the St. Louis Cardinals to
three and nothing victory over the Milwaukee Brewers today. Mason win and Alec Burleson each added
to hits a piece in the ninth hit attack for St. Louis. The Cardinals won the final two games to
take the series after losing seven of their previous nine games. The central division leading
Brewers had won six consecutive games before the consecutive losses to the second place Cardinals
who still trail Milwaukee by 10 games. Milwaukee recorded just three hits with only one after the first
inning. And the Brewers will be back in action tomorrow. They'll be over on the West Coast taking on
Oakland athletics in a three game series. The game one of the three game series is tomorrow night.
What's the first pitch at 840 and you'll be able to hear the broadcast of that game on WRC-107.7
and AM-1450 with the pre-game starting at around 805. Other games in the majors that were played
today include the Nationals beating the Rockies, 8-3. It was the Yankees over the Guardians,
6-0. The Cubs beat the Tigers, 10-2, and the Athletics defeated the Rays, 3-1.
Games that are going to be played tonight include the Reds at the Pirates, the Angels at the Blue Jays,
the Brays will be hosting the Phillies, the Orioles hosting the Astros, and the Padres hosting the
Mets. The Seattle Mariners have reportedly fired a manager and lacrosse native Scott Service with
the team in the midst of a two-month-long collapse having blown a 10-game lead in the division
and tumbling to the fringes of playoff contention in the American League. The athletic reported today
that Service had been let go citing unnamed sources. The report said former catcher Dan Wilson would
be taking over. The decision came on the heels of a disastrous 1-8 road trip that dropped the
Mariners back to 64 and 64 after sitting 13 games over 500 at one point in mid-June. Mariners
trail Houston by five games in the AL West and are 7.5 back in the Wildcard standings. Service was
6, had 168 wins and 642 losses in charge of the Mariners. A Stinger injury has running back
AJ Dillon on the sidelines at a time he needs to show packer coaches they should keep him on the
roster. Cut down day is next Tuesday. The battle for Greenbase third running back is between Dillon
and Emanuel Wilson. Dillon had to deal with a similar injury last season. Wilson had an impressive
summer training camp making the situation even more difficult for Dillon. Cultures in the Big East
expect Creighton to win the volleyball title with Marquette finishing second. Aubrey Hamilton,
Yada Hira and the Chenti and Haddie Bray as well as Carson Murray were named to the pre-season
all conference team. Hamilton was a unanimous choice and all four have received conference honors
in the past. The Golden Eagles went 16-2 in the conference matches last season. Good for first place.
They needed to second to the second round of the NCAA tournament. Former Badgers basketball
standout Sam Decker has returned to the Madison campus to finish his degree. The 30-year-old
athlete left the basketball program early in 2015 to take a shot at the NBA. That meant he left
without a diploma. He played 201 NBA games for five teams over the last six seasons. Decker
has been a star overseas. He averaged 18 points and 5.6 rebounds while leading the London Lions
to the 2023 British Basketball League Cup Championship. WRCO Sports has been sponsored by
