She's not terribly interested in being the first non-American to try it, either. Just hours after her NASCAR team, BRANDed Management, announced that the 45-year-old British driver had added the Coca-Cola 600 to a May 24 schedule that already included the Indianapolis 500, Legge told reporters she welcomed the opportunity more than the milestone. "I don't want to be like the first woman because at the end of the day, I always say I ...

Cincinnati seemed on the way to an easy victory when McLain hit a two-run homer in the eighth to make it 6-1.

Brock Burke came on and got a strikeout, but forced in two runs ...

The loss – just the second time the ninth-ranked Mountaineers (36-13, 20-9 Big 12) have been held scoreless this season – put a severe clamp on WVU’s chances ...
