Astros’ Jose Siri body language sums it up

MLB

ALCS

G5 Houston (3-2) 9 – Boston 1

Yordan Alvarez had three hits and three RBI for Houston, which could clinch a second trip to the World Series in three years with a victory at home on Friday night. The Red Sox need a win to force a deciding seventh game on Saturday.

NLCS

G4 Atlanta (3-1) 9 – Los Angeles 2

Thanks to Eddie Rosario’s hot batting, the Atlanta Braves are one win away from their first World Series appearance since 1999. Rosario homered twice in his second four-hit game of the NL Championship Series. Game 5 is Thursday in Los Angeles.

LSC

A first-half goal by the Midwestern State Mustangs on a fantastic Wednesday night at the Lion Soccer Field was the difference in the 1-0 loss for the Texas A&M University-Commerce soccer team.

After three weeks at home, the Texas A&M University-Commerce football team hits the road to face West Texas A&M in the newly built Buffaloes Stadium on Saturday. Both teams are in the top-three in the Lone Star Conference standings with four weeks to go. The game time Saturday is 6:00 pm.
