Jada Walton, a women’s softball player, has become very popular on social media because of her creativity. Like a Connor McDavid, she foiled the opposing catcher in a very dynamic way!

This game took place in Texas, where the Carthage High School player was bold after a teammate’s hit. She started from the second cushion to try to reach home plate.

She tried the almost impossible, and it was thanks to her cunning that she was able to score a run. To foil the catcher, she pointed to the sky, and her opponent turned to look at what she was pointing at.

Have you ever seen such a strategy to outwit an opponent? Not a very mature strategy, but this one worked perfectly.

Note that such a scene cannot occur in the MLB because players who are headed to the plate are forced to follow the line of scrimmage, otherwise they are out.

Following a basketball game between Bowling Green State University and Memphis University in the Women’s NIT Round of 16, won 73-60 by BGSU, a punch to the face was delivered during the handshake.

The cameras were pointed at BGSU’s Elissa Brett when she was punched in the face by Memphis’ Jamirah Shutes, who was still frustrated after a spat with her before the end of the game.

Brett crashed to the “court” as a result of the “hammer” blow, while her opponent was immediately subdued by her coach.

The player remained on the ground for several minutes because of the hard hit, but she was able to leave on her own, which was the good news in itself.

The police were quickly involved in the case to understand exactly what the nature of the violent punch was, and after formal charges against her, the “boxer” pleaded not guilty.

This case is now in the hands of the lawyers, and the whole thing will go to court.

Tom Brady, his longtime partner Rob Gronkowski, Julian Edelman and Blaine Gabbert got together to enjoy an epic beach day with friends and family.

They hit the beach to play soccer, jet ski and perform some surfboard maneuvers on a private beach.

Of course, Brady shared several photos from the epic day in the sun, and the former star QB wrote “Beach day with the team” in the comments section.

Among the photos Brady posted are the “Gronk” in sunglasses, enjoying the beach and the beautiful weather, and Mr. Edelman, flashing a big smile.

Brady’s daughter, Vivian Lake, 10, and his sons Benjamin Rein, 13, and John “Jack” Edward Thomas, 15, were also present at this “team” activity.

Remember that Brady and the Gronk have become great friends because of, among other things, the four Super Bowls they have won together.

Dennis “D.J.”Hernandez, the brother of Aaron Hernandez, reportedly experienced a bipolar episode less than three weeks before the cops got hold of him, according to information delivered by TMZ.

Dennis Hernandez was arrested aftera wild chase with the police on the roads of Connecticut.

“D.J.” is formally accused of throwing a brick and a handwritten note into the ESPN offices in Bristol, three weeks before the cops put him in handcuffs, while driving his silver Hyundai.

TMZ managed to get their hands on the documents from the authorities and they indicate that Hernandez’s mother states that her 36-year-old son was acting very strangely and that she thought he needed a psychological evaluation.

The document also states that D.J. was experiencing a bipolar episode… and that he drove that way in Connecticut in order to get arrested because he no longer wanted to stay with his mother.

In the end, Hernandez was committed to Bristol Hospital for an emergency examination and will have to go to court in early April for vandalizing infrastructure, in addition to several other charges against him.

One of the best baseball players in the world, Mike Trout, has teamed up with the best golfer in history, Tiger Woods, to build a championship golf course with 18 holes.

The course, which was Trout’s idea, will be built near his hometown of Millville and will be called Trout National – The Reserve.

We promised you all a big announcement and here it is! We are so excited to be able to make a longtime dream of mine a reality, with none other than @tigerwoods and @tgrdesignbytw. We can't wait to share more updates with you as we create Trout National – The Reserve. pic.twitter.com/V8eMGEUYdS

Of course, Trout’s teammate in this venture couldn’t help but be Tiger Woods, as he was the Angels star’s favorite golfer as a youngster.

“I thought it would be pretty cool to reach out to him. We reached out to him, got a positive response when we mentioned it, and got his team on site. Once Tiger’s team came to the site, they loved it. It’s surreal. I mean, it’s Tiger!”,said Trout, according to Sports Illustrated.

Trout and Woods’ goal remains to open the course located in Vineland for the 2025 championship.

Toronto Blue Jays star Vladimir Guerrero Jr. bought a luxury car last year and recently took it to Alex Vega at The Auto Firm in South Florida, to make it even grander.

Vega blacked out the vehicle by wrapping it, and darkening its chrome emblems. He also changed the rims to Avorza forged rims.

To transform his car a bit, Vladdy had to spend no less than 50,000 dollars.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. will be cruising into the MLB season in some serious style this year … TMZ Sports has learned the Blue Jays superstar just got his Mercedes Benz tricked out. https://t.co/fc1kM35yS4

Let’s recall that about six months ago, Vlad made his first modification by changing the interior to add the Toronto Blue Jays colors.

Let’s just say that with the $14.5 million (annually) he recently signed with the Jays to avoid arbitration, he can afford to spoil himself a bit.

The people of Toronto will have the chance to see this newly decorated Mercedes GLE63 on April 11th when the Jays kick off their home season!

Leandro Requena, an Argentine goalkeeper, scored one of the most unlikely goals that “soccer” fans have seen ina 3-1win for his team Cobresal over Colo-Colo in the Chilean Premier League.

With his team leading 2-0 in the 77th minute, Requena took a goal kick that was rather harmless at first, but it quickly turned into what could be the record for the furthest goal in history.

The most comical sequence came from Colo-Colo goalkeeper Brayan Cortés, as the ball bounced over his head to end up in the back of the net.

But before entering the goal, Cortés was running after the ball to catch it and he stumbled, making some fans explode with laughter, of course.

Anyway, despite this unusual sequence, the goal was scored from a distance of 101 meters, and if it was approved by the book of records Guinnessit would break the record for the longest distance goal in the history of soccer (soccer).

The current record is 96.01 meters, which was set by Tom King in 2021 in a game between Newport Country and Cheltenham Town.

In the final of the World Baseball Classic, the United States was battling against Japan, and this duel was going to be explosive because of two names: Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout.

Thank you, baseball fans, for an ELECTRIC #WorldBaseballClassic atmosphere from start to finish.

A scenario worthy of Hollywood, no less! Two of the best players on the planet, if not the two best, playing for the same team in the MLB, the Los Angeles Angels, battling for the big Classic. WOW!

In the last few weeks, baseball fans have been treated to some very high quality baseball, also rekindling many extinguished flames in some fans.

That said, the Americans took the field as defending champions, and they lost 3-2 to the impressive Japanese and the GREAT Shohei Ohtani.

To get back to the Hollywood chapter, it came down to the ninth inning, where Ohtani came to the mound to close the books. He started his shift with a walk to Jeff McNeil, only to force a double play to Mookie Betts.

At that point, the score was still 3-2 in favor of Japan with one out to go.

Trout came to the plate to battle his opponent, friend and teammate on the Angels. Fans of the “ball” witnessed a great battle between the two stars, where Ohtani got the better of Trout by passing him in the mitt… thus giving the championship to his nation.

Here is this spectacular battle between the Japanese and the American:
