Trois-Rivieres One Game Away From Capturing Its First Kelly Cup
To say Game 4 of the Kelly Cup Final was a must-win for the Toledo Walleye would not have been an exaggeration. The Trois-Rivieres Lions held a 2-1 advantage in the series, with the next two games on home ice.

Vargas has tiebreaking hit in 8th inning as White Sox rally to beat Blue Jays 4-2
TORONTO — Miguel Vargas hit a tiebreaking double in the eighth inning and the Chicago White Sox rallied to beat the Toronto Blue Jays 4-2 on Sunday. Vargas had two hits and drove in a pair as the White Sox won a series for the first time since taking two of three against Kansas City from June 6-8. Chicago had lost nine of 10 coming into Sunday's game. The White Sox snapped an eight-game losing streak with a 7-1 win Friday. Bo Bichette's RBI single in the seventh gave Toronto a 2-1 lead but the Blue Jays' bullpen couldn't hold it. Left-hander Brendon Little (3-1) took the loss while closer Jeff Hoffman blew his fourth save opportunity in 21 chances. Activated off the paternity list before the game, White Sox right-hander Adrian Houser allowed two runs and seven hits in 6 1/3 innings. Jordan Leasure (2-4) got two outs in the seventh and Brandon Eisert worked the eighth. Rookie Grant Taylor finished for his first career save. With temperatures in Toronto hovering around 90 degrees and high humidity making it feel even warmer, the retractable roof at Rogers Centre was kept closed Sunday. Hoffman came on in the eighth with two outs and runners at first and second. After walking Chase Meidroth to load the bases, Hoffman fumbled Andrew Benintendi's slow roller , allowing the tying run to score. Vargas followed with his two-run hit. The White Sox won their second road series of the season. They took two of three at Cincinnati from May 13-15. White Sox: RHP Shane Smith (3-4, 2.85 ERA) is scheduled to start Monday against Arizona LHP Eduardo Rodriguez (2-4, 5.93). Blue Jays: LHP Eric Lauer (3-1, 2.29 ERA) is expected to start at Cleveland on Tuesday against LHP Logan Allen (5-4, 4.21 ERA). ___ AP MLB:

(AP Photo/Pamela Smith) NEW YORK (AP) — Shoeless Jazz crossed the plate, a century after Shoeless Joe. Both of Jazz Chisholm Jr.'s cleats flew off his feet as he scored from second base in the New York Yankees' 4-2 win over the Baltimore Orioles in an unusual morning start Sunday. Advertisement 'I was so sweaty. My socks were wet. Everything had just slipped straight out," he said. Chisholm doubled twice, including a go-ahead, two-run drive off the right-center field wall in the eighth inning, then slid into catcher Gary Sánchez for the final run as New York put the shoe on the other foot, so to speak. The AL East-leading Yankees won their second straight after losing seven of eight in a game that will be remembered for Chisholm's size 10 1/2 Jordan 1 spikes. Shoeless Joe supposedly was given his nickname on June 6, 1908, playing semi-pro ball for the independent Greenville Spinners against the Anderson Electricians. New cleats had caused blisters, and he took them off and hit a long home run in the seventh inning. Jackson won a World Series title with the Chicago White Sox in 1917, then was among eight players on the so-called 'Black Sox' who were banned for life after they were accused of intentionally losing the 1919 Series to Cincinnati in exchange for money from gamblers. He finished with a .356 average in 13 major league seasons. Advertisement Asked whether he should be called Shoeless Jazz, Chisholm responded: 'Wow. Is that how Shoeless Joe got his name? He ran out of his shoe?' When told Jackson earned nickname in the 1910s, Chisholm quipped: 'Oh, so he wasn't wearing shoes.' 'I saw a lot of firsts,' Yankees captain Aaron Judge said. '11:30 game to a guy losing both his shoes. I've seen one cleat kind of running but not both like that. That was awesome.' Chisholm is hitting .350 (21 for 60) with 11 RBIs since returning from a strained right oblique that caused him to miss 28 games. He raised his average to .242. 'That's what I live for. That's how I grew up playing baseball in high school, Little League,' he said. 'I don't feel like it's no need to change.' Advertisement New York trailed 2-0 when Chisholm hit a two-out double off Dean Kremer and headed for home on DJ LeMahieu's single to left. Chisholm's left shoe popped off between third and home. Seeing rookie catcher Maverick Handley move to his left for Colton Cowser's throw up the third-base line, Chisholm tried to veer to avoid contact. He caught the catcher with his right arm as Cowser was spun to the ground and the ball popped out of his mitt. Chisholm fell past the plate as the right shoe was jarred off and from his knees slapped a hand across the plate. 'He had dirt all over his face when I walked out there to get him. Looked like glitter on his face,' Yankees manager Aaron Boone said. 'We were all kind of screaming.' After he reached the dugout, Chisholm stretched out with his stockinged feet on the bench. He put on a fresh pair of socks and then his spikes, and Chisholm asked rookie Jasson Domínguez to tie the laces. Advertisement 'They say he's the best shoe tier,' Chisholm recalled in the postgame clubhouse. 'I didn't understand it until he actually did. It took me like a minute to take off my shoes just now.' Baltimore led 2-1 in the eighth when Ben Rice singled leading off against Bryan Baker for his third hit. Giancarlo Stanton singled to put runners at the corners, and Paul Goldschmidt pinch ran for his fellow former MVP — the first pinch-running appearance of Goldschmidt's big league career, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. Baker fell behind 3-0 in the count and left a belt-high fastball over the plate. He drove it 384 feet off the middle of the wall. 'I wasn't going to swing if it wasn't a fastball,' Chisholm said, Advertisement Goldschmidt, 37, slid in just ahead of Sánchez's tag. Chisholm was a minor leaguer in Arizona's system when Goldschmidt starred for the Diamondbacks. 'He was the guy that everybody really watched doing baserunning,' Chisholm said. 'Even when I got to Miami, he was still the blueprint of how to run the bases.' Goldschmidt took pride in his baserunning. 'It's something that wasn't secondary behind hitting and defense,' he said. Chisholm took third on the throw and LeMahieu followed with a chopper to shortstop Gunnar Henderson, who threw home. Chisholm slid headfirst and was at first called out by umpire Jansen Visconti, who didn't realize Sánchez dropped the ball as he applied the tag. Advertisement His first run, however, was the one that will live on in replays for the flying footwear. 'Go out there. Keep playing like that,' Stanton had told him. 'You don't need them.' ___ AP baseball:
