It was a quiet Sunday across most of the Finger Lakes sports calendar, with just one tracked team in action — but Aaron Judge made sure it was worth watching.
Judge snapped an 11-game homerless stretch in the most dramatic fashion possible, launching a two-run walk-off homer in the bottom of the ninth to give the New York Yankees a 2-0 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. The blast accounted for both New York runs and handed the Rays just their 16th loss of the season — Tampa Bay still owns the better record at 34-16, while the Yankees improved to 31-22. It was the kind of moment that quiets any concerns about a slugger’s slump: Judge didn’t just end the drought, he ended it with the game on the line.
The rest of the region’s teams were off, including the Red Wings, Knighthawks, Bills, Sabres, Giants, Rangers, Knicks, and the Cornell and Hobart programs. The schedule picks back up from here.
