Kyle Teal hit a three-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning to tie the game and Tyler Miller hit a game-winning RBI single in the 10th inning as the Portland Sea Dogs defeated the Altoona Curve, 8-6, in an Eastern League game on Friday night in Altoona, Pennsylvania.

The Sea Dogs nearly wasted a stellar performance from starting pitcher Hunter Dobbins, who gave up just three hits and one walk over seven innings and led 3-0. Altoona rallied for six runs in the bottom of the eighth against relievers Hercris Olivares and Robert Kwiatkowski. Joe Perez hit a grand slam homer, followed by a solo homer by Carter Binns to make it 6-3.

Portland took the lead in the fourth inning when Tyler McDonough singled, advanced on a wild interception and scored on a Nick York single.

Matthew Lugo homered in the seventh inning and the Sea Dogs took a 3-0 lead in the eighth on consecutive singles by McDonough, Marcelo Mayer and Teal.

Miller sent automatic runner Edinson Paulino home with a single in the 10th, and Nick Decker brought in another run on a grounder.

Dobbins recorded eight strikeouts.

LPGA: Wichanee Meechai became the latest surprise in a U.S. Women's Open filled with surprises, firing off four straight birdies to shoot a 3-under 67 in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, her lowest score of the week, to take a two-stroke lead.

Meechai is a 31-year-old Thai player whose only victory recognized in the women's world rankings came nine years ago at the Taiwan LPGA. She has played in 20 majors but has never finished in the top 10. She is at 4-under 136, two strokes behind Angela Lee and three strokes behind former Women's Open winners Minjee Lee (69) and Yuka Sasao (71).

Several big-name players failed to make the cut, including world number one Nelly Korda, Lexi Thompson, Rose Zhang, Lydia Ko, Brooke Henderson and defending champion Alisen Corpuz.

Korda bounced back from a first-round 80 to shoot a par-70, but bogeyed the final hole when he needed a birdie to make the cut. Korda had won six of his previous seven starts, including his second major title at the Chevron Championship.

PGA: Ryan Fox made a 14-foot birdie putt to shoot 6-under 64 and share the second-round lead with Robert MacIntyre at the RBC Canadian Open in Hamilton, Ontario.

MacIntyre shot a morning 66 for his second consecutive bogey-free round. The two unbeaten PGA Tour leaders are tied at 10-under 130.

Joel Dahmen finished in third place, two strokes behind, with a 65.

European Tour: British golfer Rory Canter shot a bogey-free 7-under 66 to take a three-stroke lead in the second round of the European Open in Hamburg, Germany.

Kanter, who also plays on the LIV Golf Breakaway Circuit and is ranked 224th in the world, was 12 under par for the tournament.

Jannick de Bruyne of Germany (73) and Niklas Norgaard of Denmark (68) tied for second place.

maternity leave: Football's international governing body is implementing new measures to better support the wellbeing of players and coaches during pregnancy and after birth.

FIFA rules provide a minimum of 14 weeks paid maternity leave for both players and coaches, a minimum of eight weeks for those who adopt a child under the age of two, and a minimum of eight weeks paid leave for women who are non-biological parents of a newborn baby.

Maternity leave for players was already introduced in 2020, but the new rules extend it to coaches, non-biological mothers and adoptive mothers.
