Nevada turned a close game into a 28–13 Homecoming win over San José State on Saturday at Mackay Stadium, scoring three second half touchdowns. The Spartans received the opening kickoff but went three-and-out after Nevada linebacker Dylan LaBarbera brought down quarterback Daniel Rolovich on third down. The Wolf Pack answered with a 16-play, 72-yard drive. Luke Duncan converted multiple third-and-long situations, and running back Herschel Turner broke off several strong runs before Duncan connected with wide receiver Marshaun Brown for a touchdown. After both teams traded quick possessions, Nevada opened the second quarter with the ball. San José State defensive back Jayden Robertson intercepted a deep pass from Duncan, but the turnover did not lead to points. The teams continued to exchange punts, and Nevada’s attempt to convert fourth-and-1 with a direct snap to Dominic Kelley was stopped for a loss. The Spartans moved into Nevada territory in the closing seconds of the first half, and Trajan Sinatra made a 27-yard field goal to cut the Wolf Pack’s lead to four. Neither offense found much momentum early in the second half.

For commissioner Rob Manfred and the owners he represents, it’s the other side of the coin. “It’s good for baseball to have two small markets like this,” Manfred said. “It shows that we leave a lot on the table in some of our smaller markets by not having them have an opportunity to compete on a regular basis.”Get 108 StitchesReceive the Globe's best reporting and commentary on the Red Sox every weekday.

Players Association chief Bruce Meyer doesn’t believe that’s necessary. “None of this has to be happening,” Meyer said. “The owners made a choice. They’re going to make a choice, presumably to lock the players out. They’re not required to do that. They’re apparently going to once again.”Meyer is the interim head of the union, taking the job in February after Tony Clark resigned amidst a scandal. He’s tasked with finding a way to make a deal without accepting a salary cap, something the Players Association has resisted for decades.

TALLADEGA, Ala. — Chase Briscoe finally got over the hump in NASCAR Cup Series qualifying, earning his first pole position of the season Saturday. Briscoe averaged 186.065 miles per hour in his No. 19 Toyota at Talladega Superspeedway, nudging Austin Hill (185.949) from the top starting spot for Sunday’s 500-mile race, which Briscoe won a year ago. It’s the first pole in 13 months for Briscoe, who led the series with seven poles in 2025. “Last year, truthfully, it felt easy everywhere we would go,” said the Joe Gibbs Racing driver, who has qualified second three times this year. “This year, we just haven’t been as strong, and it’s kind of flipped. Going into this season, if you would have told me it would have taken until Race 33 to get a pole, I probably wouldn’t have believed you.”Trackhouse Racing rookie Connor Zilisch qualified a career-best third, and teammate Shane van Gisbergen will start a career-best fourth at Talladega.
