CLEVELAND, Ohio – Andrew Sharp ran for 190 yards and four touchdowns, leading Washington & Jefferson to a 35-7 win at Case-Western Reserve Saturday night. Freshman quarterback Braylon Wagner added 120 yards on the ground, including a 77-yard touchdown scamper. The win is the 800th all-time for the program, just the third Division III school to pass that mark, the 22nd in all divisions of the NCAA. Nathaniel Kadosh-Harris recovered a CWR fumble, setting up Sharp’s first touchdown of the night, a four-yard power run over the left side. Two Case possessions later, the Spartans drove to a third-and-goal at the W&J six-yard line, working toward a tying touchdown. Dante DeRubbo intercepted Sam DeTillio in the endzone, ending the threat. Four plays later, Sharp doubled the W&J lead with a 43-yard scoring run. The junior running back from Baldwin added 21 & 52 yard scoring runs, part of the Presidents’ 345-yard rushing night. Listen Here!

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Colton Joseph hit Jacob Harris on a 72-yard touchdown pass with 1:13 to play and Wisconsin scored twice in last four minutes to beat No. 13 Penn State 24-20. Joseph, who threw a pair of costly interceptions earlier in the game, rebounded to lead two long scoring drives for the Badgers (3-1, 1-0 Big Ten), who snapped their six-game losing streak to Penn State. Wisconsin earned its first road win against a ranked opponent since beating No. 25 Purdue on Oct. 23, 2021. Penn State quarterback Rocco Becht, who was 12-for-29 passing for 129 yards and an interception, tossed a final deep ball out of the back of the end zone as time expired, setting off a celebration for Wisconsin defenders.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Mason Heintschel passed for 403 yards and six touchdowns as Pittsburgh rolled past Bucknell 59-0. The Panthers reached the end zone on their first five drives, with Heintschel spreading the ball around. The sophomore completed 29 of 37 passes to nine different receivers in just over two quarters.

The FCS-level Bison didn’t cross 100 total yards until the fourth quarter. Pitt won despite XX penalties while improving to 4-0 for the second time in three years.

DETROIT (AP) — Justin Verlander made a teary farewell, accompanied by his 7-year-old daughter as he left a major league mound for the final time in the Detroit Tigers’ 4-3 come-from-behind win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Eduardo Valencia hit a game-ending, two-run homer off Mason Montgomery in a three-run ninth that included Kevin McGonigle’s RBI groundout. Verlander allowed two runs and five hits in 5 1/3 innings with one walk and six strikeouts. The 43-year-old right-hander was making his second start of the year and first since March 30 in a season derailed by a sore hip and hamstring injury.

DETROIT (AP) — Spencer Torkelson finished a single short of the cycle, Jackson Jobe pitched 5 1/3 innings and the Detroit Tigers beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 8-7 after nearly wasting a six-run lead. Detroit led 8-2 after seven innings, but RBI singles by Nick Gonzales and Ryan O’Hearn and a three-run homer by Rafael Flores Jr. pulled the Pirates within one run in the eighth. Torkelson got some help from the Pirates defense – his second-inning triple was a sinking liner to right that evaded a diving Jake Mangum, and his double was a routine fly ball to shallow right-center that fell untouched among three fielders.

MEDINAH, Ill. (AP) — The Internationals delivered another sweep in foursomes and have the Americans on their heels in the Presidents Cup. Nick Taylor hit a 9-iron to a foot to save par on the 18th hole as he and fellow Canadian Corey Conners took down Scottie Scheffler and Sam Burns. British Open champion Ryan Fox holed two key birdie putts and closed out a par as he and Min Woo Lee toppled Collin Morikawa and Wyndham Clark. The sweep means the Internationals have a 7-3 lead. It’s their largest after two sessions since 1998. That’s the only year they won the Presidents Cup.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — San Francisco 49ers star pass rusher Nick Bosa injured his calf warming up for practice earlier this week and will miss a few games. Coach Kyle Shanahan said that Bosa got hurt before practice on Thursday doing “high knees.” Shanahan said Friday that the injury wasn’t believed to be long term but he would likely miss a few weeks starting with Sunday’s game against Arizona. The injury to Bosa is the latest to hit the defensive line for the 49ers.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Stephen Curry has agreed to a two-year contract extension worth $116 million that would take him through the 2028-29 season. That’s according to a person with direct knowledge of the deal who spoke to The Associated Press on Friday night. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the Warriors had not announced the terms of Curry’s contract. Curry was eligible to command up to $136 million, so he is giving his team a discount as he backs up his longstanding commitment to finish his career with the Warriors. He is a two-time MVP and the NBA career leader in 3-pointers.
