The Toronto Blue Jays defeated the Seattle Mariners 6-2 in Game 6 of the ALCS Finals on Sunday, deadlocking the series 3-3 and forcing Game 7. In the Blue Jays’ tiebreaker, Springer underperformed.

The UConn softball team will wrap up their 2026 fall ball schedule on Sunday, Oct. 12, with a doubleheader against Quinnipiac. Game one is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. with game two following.

For the Huskies, the matchup will be head coach Laura Valentino’s last chance to evaluate the pitching staff in in-game action before spring.
