Brandi Krause tells Laura Ingraham about being forced out of Portland soccer game: 'We did nothing wrong'
There's nothing that the kind and tolerant left loves more than being unkind and intolerant towards people who have a different political perspective. Particularly when that political perspective involves acknowledging the biological reality of physical advantages males have over females in sports.
This consistent intolerance and hatred was on full display recently at a women's soccer match in Portland. A group of around 20 women wearing XX-XY shirts to a Portland Thorns game at Providence Park were allegedly harassed by a number of anti-reality fans nearby, including verbal and physical aggression. The "kind and tolerant" left, as always.
You'd assume that, in a sane world, those who engaged in unacceptable abuse towards fans for wearing shirts and having a "Save Women's Sports" would be removed from the stadium and permanently banned for misconduct. But a women's soccer organization in Portland, Oregon, is predictably about as far from sanity as it's possible to be. Instead, the women who dared stand up for science and competitive fairness were forcibly removed, while the Thorns' official X account celebrated their amazing fans in a post after the match.
The least surprising outcome imaginable, even if it is absurd and offensive.
One of the women involved, Brandi Kruse, joined Laura Ingraham on Fox News to tell her side of the story. Kruse explained that she never received an explanation from security or from the organization as to why she and the group were forced to leave. Typical.
Ingrahm asked if stadium officials or security told her why she was removed, to which she answered, "None. It's been three days ... you hear me in the video demand that security tell me, when they say 'you need to leave,' and I say, 'we didn't do anything wrong.' And she says, 'you know what you did?' And I said, 'I have no idea what I did.'"
Kruse continued, detailing that she wasn't going to leave quietly, "And that's when I just made the decision, look, if they're going to ask me to leave, I'm going to make them own that decision and they're going to have to put their hands on me and drag me out of this stadium, because I'm not leaving of my own free will. But we have not gotten an explanation so far."

Ingraham brought up that the Thorns' statement on the incident was to say that they are "committed to providing a safe and inclusive environment for everyone," which is obviously the opposite of how that situation was handled. The Thorns also claimed that "security and enforcement decisions are managed locally," and that they are reviewing those actions to ensure that their policies were "applied appropriately and consistently."

Kruse said "It's a complicated matter to determine kind of fault because the stadium itself, Providence Park is owned by the city of Portland, but it's operated by Peregrine Sports. And then, of course, you have the Thorns. And so we don't know who ultimately made the call to say, 'remove the people with the XX-XY shirts and leave all the individuals around them who were assaulting them, hitting them with flags, dumping beer on them.'"
Importantly, she added, it wasn't just the attendees wearing XX-XY shirts who were confronted. OutKick's Matt Calkins, who was covering the game, was "assaulted by the mob," Kruse explained. "His press pass was ripped from his chest by a security guard."
Ingraham then followed up about how security mishandled the situation, acting as police officers though they didn't have the authority to do so. Kruse said the guard confirmed she was not a police officer, then added that regardless of how it was handled, the treatment from the "pro-trans" crowd was unacceptable.

"You know, all they had to do is not react to our t-shirts, be functioning adults in the United States of America. And understand that sometimes you'll be confronted by ideas you don't agree with. And the answer to that is not violence."
Brilliant, and entirely accurate. The XX-XY group had a simple banner, the kind that are frequently displayed at soccer stadiums across the country. They wore t-shirts that simply had scientific, biological chromosomes on it. For this entirely reasonable behavior, they were assaulted and abused, then forcibly removed by security. Simply because the left, which has taken over in these spaces, does not tolerate dissent that challenges their worldview. No matter how delusional and disconnected from sanity that worldview might be. We've seen it in the WNBA, we've seen it here ... and it's going to continue because the people who run these organizations and institutions support it.
Good for Kruse for not letting them get away with it, and good for the Department of Justice for stepping in to investigate too.
Middle school teacher arrested in alleged prostitution scheme at casino hotel
A New Jersey teacher was arrested two weeks ago in connection with an alleged prostitution scheme in which a man was restrained, forced to endure sexual acts and robbed in a casino hotel room.
The suspect was identified as Amanda Crafts, 35, of Wildwood Crest, according to the New Jersey Department of Corrections. She was a computer teacher at Middle Township Middle School, according to her LinkedIn.
Her friend, Veda Engel, 23, of Cape May, was also charged in the Oct. 9 incident. Engel has a history of prostitution-related charges, including one dating back to December, Breaking AC reported.
FLORIDA WOMAN ALLEGEDLY DRUGS MAN SHE MET AT CLUB, STEALS HIS NEARLY $100K ROLEX: POLICE
According to police, the victim met the women at a bar at a hotel resort in Atlantic City, the outlet said.
After exchanging numbers with Engel, he reportedly met the two women in their room.

Once inside, the victim said the two women stripped him down and physically restrained him to the bed, the outlet reported.
Engel then forced sexual acts on him before stopping and saying, "That’s what you get for $1,250," according to the complaint, Breaking AC reported.
As Crafts held the victim down, Engel reportedly used his facial recognition to unlock his phone and made four separate Apple Pay transactions totaling $1,250 to her account.
The victim said the transactions were "made without his consent in exchange for sexual acts," a detective wrote in the affidavits, according to reports.
During her first appearance in court, Crafts told the judge that she was a teacher and has never been arrested before.
"I was in the wrong place at the wrong time," she told Judge Timothy Maguire during a video appearance from the Atlantic County Justice Facility, according to reports.
Crafts, who said she has four children, works in the school’s special area department teaching computers, the outlet said, citing the school’s website.
The school district released a statement on Oct. 19 acknowledging the arrest of a Middle Township teacher and confirming that the employee had been fired.
"Our responsibility is to protect our students, follow appropriate procedures, and ensure that those entrusted with caring for and educating our children meet the standards expected of them. The safety and well-being of our students remain our highest priority," Superintendent Stephanie DeRose said.
Separately, Engel works at SoFresh SoClean Commercial Cleaning in Ocean City, her attorney said, according to Breaking AC.
The incident was not Engel’s first prostitution-related encounter with law enforcement. Last year, she allegedly offered an undercover New Jersey State Police detective sex in exchange for $1,000 at the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa.
She was reportedly released on a summons at the time.
Engel and Crafts were both released Oct. 15 after being held for nearly a week, according to reports. The state consented to their pretrial release, which requires them to check in with the court every other week.
Deported migrant who '60 Minutes' painted as sympathetic family man claimed he was gay on asylum application
Sunday's "60 Minutes" featured the story of a deported Malian national who was painted as a loving husband and father despite insisting he was homosexual on his asylum application.
The CBS News segment focused on Moussa Diawara and his family, speaking to his wife, 16-year-old son and 12-year-old daughter. But the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) says Diawara, who arrived in the United States in 2001, is actually an example of widespread fraud throughout the immigration system.
"The ‘60 Minutes’ sob story tonight highlighted an illegal alien and his wife and two children. One problem. The illegal alien claimed he was a HOMOSEXUAL in order to try and dodge deportation to Mali," ICE posted on X.
Fox News exclusively obtained Diawara’s 2009 asylum application in which he declared that he needed to remain in America because he was a gay man who could be killed if sent back to his native country.
"My asylum application is based upon ground of well founded past persecution and an undisputable fear of life threatening to my person if I were to return to my country Mali. In fact I had experienced extreme punishment and persecution based on the ground of my sexual orientation," Diawara wrote in his asylum application.
"Since I came to the USA I had the possibilities to express my feelings to men without any embarrassment no reserve. Indeed, my tribal group and community as a whole had reported my sexual orientation to my family back home because such behavior is unwelcome in my society," he continued. "My life is hence worth threatened if I have to go back to my country because I could be executed either by the Islamic group or the community."
Diawara also wrote in the application that he was "banished" from attending Malian activities because he’s "a homosexual," who has received threats.
"These are the reasons why I applied for asylum in the USA to seek protection from the US government," Diawara wrote.
DHS General Counsel James Percival, who was interviewed in the "60 Minutes" segment, took to social media after it aired, saying the newsmagazine made Diawara the "poster child for what it claims are wrongful deportations."
"His claimed reason for fearing Mali was that he is ‘gay,’ just in case you’re wondering how bad the immigration fraud problem is," Percival wrote.
The segment put a spotlight on Diawara, who was living in the U.S. for 25 years without a criminal record, overstaying his tourist visa and getting nabbed by ICE and sent to Ghana, which ultimately sent him to his home country of Mali. According to the report, Diawara has since fled Mali to an undisclosed African country.
SCOTT PELLEY FIRED AT CBS NEWS AFTER BLOWUPS WITH BARI WEISS, NEW '60 MINUTES' PRODUCER
"60 Minutes" noted that a U.S. judge said Diawara could be persecuted in Mali, pointing to fears over converting to Christianity. However, the show did not mention that Diawara’s application contradicted his family man narrative and the reason why he claimed he couldn’t return to his native country was because of his sexual orientation.
During the segment, Percival noted that there is "a lot of fraud" in the immigration system and many "fear claims" are untrue.
A "60 Minutes" insider defended the integrity of the report, pointing to how Diawara's claim that "part of the reason he didn't feel safe" was for religious reasons made the broadcast. According to the report, he had converted to Christianity and Mali is a Muslim-majority nation.
"We also acknowledge that the DHS questioned the credibility of Moussa Diawara's fear of persecution, which they're claiming now on social media," the insider told Fox News Digital.
The Department of Homeland Security told CBS News that Ghana had provided the U.S. with "diplomatic assurances for his safety."
It is unclear whether CBS News was aware of Diawara’s apparent application discrepancy when the "60 Minutes" segment aired. A spokesperson for the network declined to comment.
BARI WEISS POACHES CONSERVATIVE NY TIMES COLUMNIST, OTHERS JOIN '60 MINUTES' IN CBS PROGRAM SHAKEUP
Percival posted about his experience with "60 Minutes," saying he spoke for nearly an hour.
"In our conversation, we talked about the vicious killers and rapists we are removing to third countries and the fact that no President before President Trump removed these public safety threats from our community. Unfortunately, as they always do, they selectively edited the video and included none of that. They did promise they would publish the entire interview, so I look forward to my comments being posted in full this week," Percival wrote.
Percival did not immediately respond to a request for additional comment.
The official ICE account on X ALSO wrote, "Fake & Gay! Moussa Diawara, the Malian national featured in this shockingly poorly researched @60Minutes report, now faces allegations of immigration FRAUD after his asylum application surfaced, revealing that he claimed to be a HOMOSEXUAL man who feared persecution in Mali."
Stranded hikers cling to steep California mountain ridge as helicopter crew swoops in
Three people stranded high on a steep Northern California mountainside were rescued by helicopter Sunday after a distress call brought crews racing to their aid.
The Sierra County Sheriff’s Office said the group was found on the Sierra Buttes, just south of a lookout tower near the mountain’s summit.
Images and video released by officials show the helicopter near the rugged mountainside as rescuers worked to reach the trio.
The sheriff’s office was alerted around 2:30 p.m. after a Garmin inReach satellite communication device sent an SOS signal to the California Governor’s Office of Emergency Services.
Deputies launched a search and rescue response and called in the Nevada County Sheriff’s Search and Rescue Mountain Rescue Team and the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office’s RAVEN helicopter crew.

Once the crew spotted the stranded group, a rescue team member was lowered from the helicopter to reach them. All three were then hoisted off the mountainside and flown to a landing zone, where Sierra County deputies were waiting.
"Due to the difficult terrain and hazardous location, a helicopter hoist rescue was necessary," the sheriff’s office said.
NORTH CAROLINA CLIMBER AIRLIFTED AFTER PLUNGING 20 FEET DOWN GORGE, SUSTAINING SERIOUS INJURIES
The agency thanked the teams involved for their "professionalism, coordination, and assistance" in bringing the rescue to a successful conclusion.
The Sierra Buttes rise above the North Yuba River canyon, with a fire lookout near the top of the approximately 8,600-foot mountain, according to the Pacific Crest Trail Association.
Authorities did not say how the three people became stranded or whether anyone was injured.
The rescue drew praise on social media, where commenters thanked the emergency crews and pointed to the RAVEN helicopter team’s role in helping communities across the region.
"To see that Sheriff Balaam uses the RAVEN team to assist anywhere they are needed is outstanding and certainly shows just how valuable the unit has become to the region," one person wrote.
Another thanked the rescue teams, writing, "Really awesome work, coordination and knowledge by all involved. Impressive and grateful to have this in our community."
"Hats off to our emergency special teams!!" another commenter wrote. "We are all very fortunate that you all do what you do."
The dramatic rescue came after two other high-profile rescues on Northern California mountains earlier this month.
MISSING 72-YEAR-OLD HIKER FOUND ALIVE DAYS AFTER FRIGHTENING 100-FOOT FALL LEFT HER BADLY INJURED
Last week, a 39-year-old Florida man was flown to a hospital after he fell through a snow bridge and severely injured his leg on the Whitney Glacier. Rescuers reached the injured climber the following morning, but bad weather prevented an aerial extraction. Crews ultimately carried him to a viable helicopter landing zone the next day, the Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office said.
Earlier this month, a 19-year-old man and a 20-year-old woman from Salt Lake City were rescued after becoming trapped between cliffs during a 36-hour ordeal on Mount Shasta. Both were uninjured, authorities said.
Angel Reese's 'Protect Black women' shirt adds to overall strangeness of WNBA Finals
Atlanta Dream star Angel Reese had a not-so-subtle message emblazoned across her T-shirt as she walked into the Chase Center for Game 5 of the WNBA Finals against the Golden State Valkyries.
"Protect Black women," the shirt read.
THE CRAIG CARTON SHOW–UNFILTERED, UNAPOLOGETIC AND UNMISSABLE. DOWNLOAD HIS DAILY PODCAST NOW!
It’s unclear what the shirt was referencing or if it was a general statement. Reese has been unafraid at times to speak or write her opinions on societal topics that resonate with at least one corner of the universe.
Reese, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, has been having a pretty solid series, but needed to be locked in for the pivotal matchup against the Valkyries.
WNBA fans caught wind of the shirt. Some wondered what the reaction would be if a White WNBA player would have worn a "protect White women" shirt. Obviously, nobody really has to wonder about the outrage. Sophie Cunningham drummed up enough outrage earlier this season with the simplest of messages, "Protect women’s sports."
It’s that theme that’s been a point of contention even in the WNBA Finals – what kind of message are you trying to send fans? "Protect women" may have been more appropriate but we don’t even have to go that far.
The WNBA pushed itself back into the spotlight as the two teams who are representing the league on the highest of level refused to even stay on the court for the national anthem.

Dream star Rhyne Howard explained to OutKick last week she didn’t believe she was on the floor for the national anthem during her entire tenure in Atlanta.
"I don’t think I’ve been on the floor for the national anthem for any of my tenure in Atlanta, so if that’s what people are gonna look to nitpick for then so be it," Howard said. "But as far as competing for your team, when I go put on a USA jersey I’m out for the national anthem every time, there’s no doubt about it."
"Yes, I love the country that I play for and I love what we have here," she added.
Golden State head coach Natalie Nakase said leaving the floor for the anthem has been part of the franchise’s pregame routine since the team first entered the WNBA.
But even if you put all of that to the side, the confusion about where Game 6 will be played as another addition to the strangeness of the series. Before Monday, the league had a huge scheduling conflict with trying to play Game 6 back at State Farm Arena.
Instead of moving the game to another venue, the league moved the tip-off time for a potential series clincher to 12:30 p.m. ET. It means Valkyries fans will have to get up early, put their meetings on hold and tune into a huge game.
A strangeness certainly lingers over the WNBA Finals in what would be the biggest Finals yet for the league.
Gretchen Whitmer asked whether 'hidden xenophobia' will affect midterm elections
MS NOW anchor Peter Alexander asked Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, D-Mich., on Sunday whether Republican politicians were tapping into "xenophobia" ahead of the midterm elections.
Alexander began his show "State of Play" on Monday remarking on the national attention given to the Michigan U.S. Senate race between Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed and GOP candidate Mike Rogers, which prompted campaign rally appearances by former President Barack Obama and President Donald Trump.
The MS NOW host showed a clip of himself asking Whitmer over the weekend about what she thought about the "ugly recent rhetoric" levied against El-Sayed by Rogers and Trump, suggesting the attacks could be motivated by "xenophobia."
"Do you worry that there is some hidden xenophobia in Michigan right now that Donald Trump and Mike Rogers are trying to tap into?" Alexander asked.
"I think that Mike Rogers and Donald Trump hope that there is, and that they're trying to cultivate that," Whitmer responded.
Later in the show, Alexander aired more of the interview, including a question about whether Whitmer believed the language Trump used to attack El-Sayed was "dangerous."
Whitmer agreed that Trump's language was dangerous but added that the bigger issue was Republicans ignoring the state of the economy.
FOX NEWS POLL: MICHIGAN VOTERS SPLIT BETWEEN EL-SAYED AND ROGERS
"The point is that they're talking about anything other than the cost of living, which has gone up because of the decisions that this administration has made. You ask yourself, are you better off two years ago than you are today? I doubt very many Americans could say that they are," Whitmer said.
Fox News Digital reached out to Whitmer's office and the El-Sayed and Rogers campaigns for comment but did not immediately receive responses.
In a comment to Fox News Digital, White House Assistant Press Secretary Olivia Wales said, "President Trump is calling out the radical extremists stoking division, defrauding their communities, and perpetuating violence. The President will continue to unapologetically fight for American greatness and call out the extremists who want only to divide and destroy."
Both Trump and Rogers have heavily criticized El-Sayed over allegations involving his family's ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.
Brooke Hogan blasts ‘fake, greedy people’ after Hulk’s Florida home sale: ‘Enjoy your dirty money’
Brooke Hogan is lashing out at the "fake, greedy people" she claims profited from her late father Hulk Hogan as she mourns the sale of the wrestling legend's Florida home.
Last week, Hulk's 5,400-square-foot, beachfront mansion in Clearwater Beach sold for $5.9 million after it was originally listed for nearly $11 million in January, according to TMZ. The outlet also reported that the neighboring guest cottage sold separately for $2.8 million.
Hulk, who was born Terry Bollea, died at age 71 in July 2025 after suffering cardiac arrest at his home in Clearwater Beach. The WWE icon's cause of death was later determined to be a heart attack.
In a series of emotional posts shared to her Instagram Stories Monday, Brooke reflected on losing the home where she shared memories with her father while accusing unnamed friends and family members of exploiting him for their own gain.
The 38-year-old TV personality also took aim at what she described as "dirty money," claiming some people only appeared "at the end" of her father's life "to collect."
"The sick feeling is indescribable," Brooke wrote in one post alongside a photo of the house with a red and white SOLD sticker at the top.
"This house was where dad and Jen envisioned growing old together," she added, referring to Hulk's ex-wife Jennifer McDaniel, to whom he was married from 2010 to 2021.
"Where we brought him back to…surgery after surgery," Brooke continued. "Pool days. The smell of gasoline in his garage. His workouts downstairs."
"We cooked, we watched Jerry springer, we played music, we cried," she recalled. "I walked in that garage every visit and hugged him right when he’d open the garage door. I’d sit next to him for hours in the chair he died in."
KRISTIN CAVALLARI SAYS SHE LEARNED A PAINFUL $250K LESSON INVOLVING HER FATHER AT 22
"His whole environment, his energy, his work, his relationships: First Jen — who no one but me treated with respect. Then I was gone…the truth teller… I’m sure to everyone’s delight."
"And now it’s all gone. Sold for profit. Just like him…used for f-----g everyone else’s gain. Saddest ending I’ve ever seen. You know who TF you are," Brooke concluded.
KRISTIN CAVALLARI CUT FATHER OUT OF HER LIFE AFTER HE CROSSED ‘MAJOR LINE’ INVOLVING HER KIDS
In another post, Brooke uploaded an image in which she was seen posing with Hulk a dock outside the house, writing, "Let’s not forget who was there for the 15 years before the vultures swooped in conveniently."
Brooke went on to share a series of photos documenting the years that she spent by her father's side, writing that she "adored," loved and "cherished" him. She also posted images of pill bottles that were labeled with Hulk's name, noting that she "tracked every med."
The "Brooke Knows Best" star also recalled how she and McDaniel helped care for Hulk during his health struggles.
"Jen and I were the nurse crew. Notebooks, records, prescription pickups, overnights, switching shifts," Brooke wrote.
"This woman spent more time in the trenches than ANY of us did," she continued. "He LOVED her dearly. And she loved him."
"She wanted to be there till his last breath despite the trauma she endured that I witnessed..," Brooke added.

Brooke claimed that McDaniel "asked for nothing" following her split from Hulk. She wrote that McDaniel could have "fought for money" but instead "vanished" without launching a "smear campaign."
Describing McDaniel as "hilarious," Brooke recalled the two having "girl days" together. She praised her former stepmother as "pure love and grace."
"Their breakup was devastating for me," Brooke wrote. "I loved her, but I knew my dad was in the best care with her too."
"DEVOTION was an UNDERSTATEMENT," she added.
Alongside photos of Hogan recovering from surgeries, Brooke recalled how she and McDaniel repeatedly accompanied him to the hospital.
"We did surgery… after surgery… after surgery," she wrote.
In one photo, Brooke pointed out blood on McDaniel's shirt and missing fingernails. She posted images of Hulk standing in the hospital room, writing, "I'm taking the photo. You see anyone else there? Whole room… no one else?"
Brooke then shared a photo that was taken during a July 2025 episode of "WWE SmackDown!" following Hulk's death. In the photo, WWE stars, several wrestling legends and production crew were seen gathered onstage for the traditional 10-bell salute in memory of Hulk.
"Not ONE of these people stayed longer than an hour in the hospital… if they even showed," Brooke wrote.
"And I’ve had to hear everyone say I’m the jerk for stepping away from the toxic behavior and brainwashing, fake, greedy people… ‘I should have been there.’ ‘Everyone else’ was there till the end. NO. They were there AT the end. To collect," she wrote on a photo of herself with Hulk.
Brooke shared another image of the Hulk's home, writing, "Enjoy your dirty money. You took my dad."
However, Brooke later pushed back against reports that interpreted her posts as an attack on WWE stars, insisting that was not her intention.
"Hey reporters: I don't have beef with the stars of WWE. Nor did I say that. Do your job right or don't do it at all," she wrote in a follow-up post on her Instagram Story.
Brooke explained that she was criticizing people who she said "show up to public tributes" despite not supporting her father privately when she was "in the trenches with him."
"But they'll show up to get their face on camera," she wrote, adding, "That includes so called ‘friends' AND family."
In another post, Brooke elaborated on her accusations as she blasted unnamed people who she claimed "only visited him if he payed [sic] for it" and others who "got a paycheck if they pretended they were his friend."
She also called out "the 'yes men' who were too afraid to protect him with truth" and "the ones who promised me they'd do the right thing when he died."

"Apparently EVERYONE will show up at the end if you're famous enough and they can profit off your demise," Brooke concluded.
Brooke and Hulk were once extremely close and their father-daughter relationship was a major part of their reality series "Hogan Knows Best," which ran from 2005 to 2007. However, their relationship became complicated over the years and Brooke was estranged from Hulk during the final two years of his life.
In July 2023, Hulk amended his will to exclude Brooke and her descendants, leaving her brother Nick as the sole beneficiary of his probate estate. The "Rocky III" star shared Brooke and Nick, 36, with his ex-wife Linda Hogan. Hulk was married to Sky Daily from 2023 until his death.

Brooke has maintained that her estrangement from Hulk was not due to a single falling-out. After Hulk died, Brooke said she ultimately stepped away following a series of "respectful disagreements" with her father that took an emotional toll on her.
PUT YOUR ENTERTAINMENT KNOWLEDGE TO THE TEST AND SEE HOW YOU SCORE
Hulk never publicly addressed his estrangement from Brooke or his decision to formally remove her from his will. However, a source told Us Weekly in March 2025 that the wrestling icon had told people he did not know why his daughter had stopped speaking to him. Brooke later said she had asked to be removed from his will because she wanted no part of an anticipated battle over his fortune.
"I just know how my family is," Brooke told TMZ in August 2025. "I've seen how certain members of my family go after money. And I see how they fight over money. And how they turn on each other over money."
Rays' Chandler Simpson crashes face first into wall while making incredible catch in World Series vs Brewers
When it’s the World Series, you gotta give your all. Tampa Bay Rays left fielder Chandler Simpson did that on Monday night in Game 3 against the Milwaukee Brewers.
Brewers batter Sal Frelick hit a sharp liner to left field at Tropicana Field. Frelick thought the ball might have either been over Simpson’s head or, even better, a home run. If Simpson doesn’t make the play, the ball may have caromed off the wall and back to center field.

Instead, Simpson turned the jets on. He made a leaping grab and crashed face first into the wall. He hung onto the ball and was able to get it back to the infield before Garrett Mitchell could advance to second base.
Tampa Bay saved a run and the possibility of giving momentum to Milwaukee early in the game.

The second-year outfielder may need to step up a little bit more for the Rays as they came into the game facing a 2-0 deficit. Simpson has been 3-for-8 in the series with an RBI and two strikeouts. But if the team is going to be inspired by defensive magic, Simpson may have brought it.
Milwaukee and Tampa Bay were two of the best teams in baseball all year. They each came into the series as the No. 1 seed in the postseason, having earned byes into their respective Division Series.
The Brewers defeated the Rays 3-2 in Game 1 and 5-4 in Game 2. The intensity of the games have been almost too close for comfort. But that’s baseball, Suzyn.
White House defends Trump after archbishop calls prayer moment 'manipulated' ahead of midterms
The White House on Monday defended President Donald Trump after Milwaukee Archbishop Jeffrey Grob publicly apologized for participating in an Oval Office prayer with the president, accusing the administration of using the religious gathering for political purposes less than two weeks before the midterm elections.
Grob issued a statement Sunday titled "A Public Apology," alleging that the White House distributed photographs and video of the Thursday prayer without the consent of the 12 participating bishops. He accused the administration of manipulating a sacred moment. The archbishop said he had received messages from Catholics concerned that the prayer appeared to constitute a political endorsement. Grob acknowledged having reservations before attending and apologized for the distress his participation caused.
"I feel a heavy sadness, not only over the pain I caused, but also for the fact that something so sacred to a group of religious leaders, prayer to our Heavenly Father, would be manipulated in that way," he said. "We came in good faith to try to work for the betterment of our fellow human beings, to ease their suffering, to build up the common good, and to pray with a president, not to pose for a political photo opportunity to benefit the few."
White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers defended Trump's record on religious liberty and Catholic priorities in a statement to Fox News Digital following the archbishop's public apology.
BISHOP ROBERT BARRON: MY YEAR WITH DOJ'S RELIGIOUS LIBERTY COMMISSION: WHY I SAID YES
"There has never been a greater president for Catholic Americans than President Trump, and his strong record proves it: he stopped the weaponization of the federal government against Christians, proudly defended and expanded our religious rights, pardoned pro-life activists, stopped the chemical mutilation of our nation’s children, and protected parents’ rights," she said.
The meeting, which Grob said was arranged by the Heritage Foundation, was intended to address immigration enforcement, religious worker visas and other Catholic priorities. Following a 90-minute discussion with White House domestic policy staff and advisors, the bishops entered the Oval Office, where Trump presented commemorative tokens before they prayed together. Grob said the group was unaware that video was being recorded.
Des Moines Bishop William Joensen also criticized the gathering's subsequent publicity in a statement published Saturday, saying the bishops never intended to endorse a political candidate or party.
"None of us bishops were unaware that our meeting was on the cusp of a national election. Yet in no way did any of us intend by our involvement to endorse any political party or any individual candidate," he said. "That said, in retrospect, I would have done well to be more mindful of Jesus’ admonition: ‘Behold, I am sending you like sheep in the midst of wolves; so be shrewd as serpents and simple as doves’ (Matthew 10:16). I wish I had been more shrewd and less simple, like those who exploited our meeting for partisan political purposes."
POPE LEO SLAMS THOSE WHO 'MANIPULATE RELIGION' FOR MILITARY OR POLITICAL GAIN, TRUMP RESPONDS
Denver Archbishop James Golka, who led the prayer, discussed his participation in an interview with the Denver Catholic. Golka acknowledged concerns about the video's political implications but emphasized that praying for elected officials remains a longstanding Catholic practice.
"I wasn’t sure what to do. On one hand, it was a great opportunity to raise important issues for the Church’s benefit," he said. "On the other hand, I knew people might be upset. Though I originally thought it would be a private meeting, I knew that it could be shared and that some might use it for political purposes.
"But as I prayed about it, I thought that this is what Catholics do," he continued. "We pray for people. No matter whether we agree or disagree on anything, we always pray for our country and leaders."
The controversy comes as Catholic leaders continue to disagree with the Trump administration over some of its policies, particularly immigration. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops sued the administration in February 2025 over the suspension of refugee resettlement funding.
Other prominent Catholic leaders have encouraged continued engagement with the administration. In a May interview with Fox News Digital, Bishop Robert Barron, a member of Trump's Religious Liberty Commission, cautioned against demonizing the president despite disagreements over immigration and other policies.
"What I don't want from the church is a kind of demonization of the Trump administration," he said.
