The Oakland Athletics captured the AL West with another improbable rally in a season full of them, coming back from four runs down and a 13-game division deficit to stun the two-time defending league champion Texas Rangers 12-5 on Wednesday.

From clinking spurs to pounding hooves, the Baylor equestrian team will be in full force this weekend as it travels to take on Kansas State and Oklahoma State.

“It will be a very full weekend of travel and running around,” head coach Ellen White said. “It is going to be a great time for the girls to get to know each other. One big road trip.”

The competitions this weekend will mark the team’s first Big 12 events of the season.

After the Baylor Lady Bears’ national championship in 2005, the team lost four seniors, two of them starters.

The next season, Baylor fell in the Sweet Sixteen to Maryland 82-63.

Who would have thought that scoring 63 points, aka nine touchdowns, in a single football game would not win?

That happens when the other team, West Virginia in this circumstance, scores 70.

The game featured 1,507 yards and 133 points before a packed house of 60,012 at Milan Puskar Stadium in Morgantown, W.Va.

Let me throw some numbers at you: 9.2 yards allowed per play, 14.6 yards allowed per completion , eight passing touchdowns allowed and zero forced turnovers.

If these stats are the result of your defense’s play, do you really trust them to make a stop late in the fourth quarter? No.

With time running out on the Washington Redskins, Robert Griffin III found a way to win.

Playing more like a veteran than a rookie in only his fourth pro game, the second overall pick in this year’s NFL draft made leading a late-minute comeback look easy Sunday by calmly moving his team down the field for a go-ahead field goal that toppled the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 24-22.

After just one play from scrimmage, the West Virginia defense intercepted senior quarterback Nick Florence’s pass over the middle. The ball hit junior inside receiver Tevin Reese in the hands, but landed in the hands of the Mountaineer secondary.

The Baylor Bears moved to 10-1-2 on Friday night with a 1-0 victory over conference foe Kansas. Baylor is now 1-0-1 in conference play. Senior midfielder Lisa Sliwinski had the only goal of the game.
