Lady Zebras prepare for state championship game
The path to Grandview softball's first state championship comes down to one game. A meeting with Whitesboro Thursday night at Red & Charline McCombs Field in Austin determines the 3A Div. I champion, the final hurdle that has evaded the Lady Zebras the past two seasons. Jaley James experienced the state semifinal loss to Santa Gertrudis Academy in 2023 and a heartbreaking state title loss in extra innings to Coahoma in 2024. Advertisement Now, after walking the stage Friday, James plays in her last game in a Grandview uniform with one more opportunity to call herself a state champion. 'This is my one last chance to make history, leave my mark on Grandview and do this with my teammates,' said James. The sisterhood of the Lady Zebras has only grown stronger over the past three years, James noted. Through the defeats and Grandview's undefeated 2025 postseason, the shortstop is seeking revenge entering Thursday's contest and lives by the program's motto — stay the course. 'If we jump off ship or go in the wrong direction, our mind gets away from the state title,' said James. 'We have to stay focused, locked in and if we can do that, we'll be state champions.' Advertisement In Tuesday morning practice, the team kept it simple with catching and batting off a pitching machine. Despite the heat bearing down, Grandview didn't take the practice lightly. KJ Hubbard and Kylie Grafa pummelled balls passed the wall and Sydney Mann made diving catches in centerfield, reassuring James that her squad is ready. 'I believe in every single player on this team that they can hit that game-winning run or diving catch to win the game.' Along with the many seniors hoping to covet a title, much of the Lady Zebras success and potential to make this the year is the work of underclassmen such as Madi Doty and freshman catcher Kenna Collins. Advertisement Although being a newcomer to the roster, Collins' relationship with much of the team was already established because of Codi, Kenna's sister. Kenna attended Codi's basketball games and grew a bond with the Lady Zebras. 'When they didn't get that trophy, you could see the defeat,' said Kenna about watching Grandview's past two seasons. 'You could see the passion that they wanted it.' Once she joined the team, Kenna easily fit into a squad on a mission. 'I know my teammates want it, so I'm gonna want it as well,' said Kenna. 'It makes me want to work and do my best to help them. Even if I'm down and it's not my day at the plate, they're always like 'Kenna, you got it.' They're always positive even when I'm not positive to myself.' With a win on Thursday night, Kenna would consider that a perfect freshman year season. For James, she's ready to leave it all out on the field. If the Lady Zebras win, James believes the first thing she'll do is run straight for her teammates, who have supported her no matter what.

Happ homers twice as the Cubs hold off Raleigh and the Mariners for a 10-7 win
Associated Press CHICAGO (AP) — Ian Happ homered twice and drove in four runs, and the Chicago Cubs held off Cal Raleigh and the Seattle Mariners for a 10-7 victory on Saturday. Raleigh opened the ninth inning with his major league-leading 30th homer after he also went deep twice on Friday. Luke Raley hit a two-out single for Seattle, but Daniel Palencia closed it out when he retired Donovan Solano on a foul popup. Michael Busch, Kyle Tucker and Pete Crow-Armstrong also homered for Chicago on a 94-degree day at Wrigley Field with a 20-mph wind blowing toward center field. Brad Keller (3-0) got five outs for the win for the NL Central leaders. Solano and Raley each had three hits and two RBIs for Seattle, which won 9-4 in the series opener on Friday. Happ drove Emerson Hancock's first pitch of the game over the wall in left-center for his 10th homer. Tucker went deep on Hancock's third pitch for his first homer since June 9 and No. 14 on the year. Happ became the first player to hit a leadoff homer for the Cubs in consecutive games since Anthony Rizzo in June 2017. Happ added a three-run shot in the second, lifting Chicago to a 6-1 lead. He has four homers in his last three games. Busch hit a three-run homer in the third, and Crow-Armstrong connected for a solo shot in the fifth against Zach Pop. It was Crow-Armstrong's team-high 21st homer. Hancock (3-3) was tagged for nine runs in four innings. The Mariners cut it to 9-6 in the fifth, scoring three unearned runs following Vidal Brujan's throwing error on Randy Arozarena's grounder. Home plate umpire Chad Whitson left after five innings. The game continued with Dexter Kelley behind the plate. Seattle reliever Trent Thornton wobbled on the mound with one out in the eighth. He was helped off by training staff. Key moment Keller entered two runners on and none out in the sixth, then struck out the side. Key stat Happ has two multihomer games this season and 17 for his career. Up next Mariners right-hander Logan Gilbert (1-2, 2.55 ERA) faces Cubs right-hander Colin Rea (4-2, 3.84 ERA) on Sunday. ___ AP MLB: recommended
