Saturday Sports Headlines

ATLANTA (AP) — Mike Foltynewicz threw seven dominating innings before pinch-hitter Adam Duvall hit a two-run homer that carried the Atlanta Braves to a 3-0 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals. Foltynewicz, who spent a good chunk of his summer in Triple-A after a miserable start, has been a different pitcher since returning from the minors. The best-of-five series is now tied at one game apiece as it shifts to St. Louis for the next two games.
LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Each year Kansas’ basketball season kick-off, dubbed Late Night in the Phog, promises a festive night filled with musical performances, skits and scrimmages, building excitement to match the lofty expectations for the upcoming season. However, this year anticipation eagerly surrounded not only an appearance by Snoop Dogg, but also whether Kansas’ recent notice of allegations from the NCAA would dampen the mood.
NORMAN, Okla. (AP) — Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley is best known for his quarterbacks. He has had back-to-back Heisman Trophy-winning passers in Baker Mayfield and Kyler Murray. His offenses have developed some star pass catchers, too. This year, the Sooners feature the combination of junior CeeDee Lamb and rising sophomore Charleston Rambo. They have been dominant heading into the sixth-ranked Sooners’ game at Kansas.
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The Big 12 finally has a full slate of conference games this weekend. And by Sunday, the league should have a pretty good idea of who will be the favorites to challenge Oklahoma or Texas for spots in the league championship game in December. The No. 6 Sooners and No. 11 Longhorns remain the favorites to reach the title game, but they meet in the Cotton Bowl in Dallas on Oct. 12. That brings pressure to avoid another loss that could disrupt a title rematch.
CHICAGO (AP) — DePaul says former Kansas guard Charlie Moore will be eligible to play immediately after the NCAA granted a waiver. The Chicago product transferred in April, making DePaul his third school. He began his career at California and played one season at Kansas. Moore averaged 2.9 points in 35 games as a sophomore after sitting out the Jayhawks’ 2017-18 Final Four season. He scored 12.2 points per game as a freshman at California in 2016-17.
