Last year, the Minnesota Lynx lost to the Los Angeles Sparks in the final seconds of Game 5 of the WNBA Finals. This year was a different story.

Minnesota Lynx vs. LA Sparks WNBA Championship Game Score

The Lynx secured their fourth national championship on Wednesday night following an 85-76 victory over the Sparks at Williams Arena in Minneapolis.

All five of the home team’s starters scored in double figures. Sylvia Fowles finished with 17 points and 20 rebounds, Maya Moore added 18 points and ten rebounds, and Lindsay Whalen had 17 points and eight assists.

Fowles became the first player since Seattle’s Lauren Jackson in 2010 to win both the regular-season MVP and WNBA Finals MVP. Minnesota previously won championships in 2011, 2013 and 2015.

The win came on the home court of Whalen’s alma mater, the University of Minnesota. The Lynx generally play at the Target Center, although the arena is being renovated.

Whalen — a point guard who hails from Hutchinson, Minnesota — led the Golden Gophers to the Women’s Final Four her senior year in 2004, and was then selected by the Connecticut Sun as the fourth overall draft pick. She played in the WNBA Finals twice with the Sun (2004, ’05) and then was traded back home in 2010.

“That’s something to really be proud of — that our team has had this big of an impact on our community, our league, and the sport,” Whalen said. “To have it be here in Minnesota where I grew up and played in college — it’s really cool.

The Lynx won only one playoff game in their first 12 seasons. This year, they finished the regular season (27-7) and beat the Sparks in the series 3-2 after defeating the Washington Mystics in three contests in the first round of the playoffs.

“When you go through a period of time when you’re successful, some of it is luck, and some is timing,” Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve said. “As they say, you have to go through some failure before you go through success.”

Fowles is a two-time MVP, while Moore has four WNBA championships in addition to two NCAA titles at UConn and two Olympic gold medals.

MINNEAPOLIS, MN – OCTOBER 04: Odyssey Sims #1 of the Los Angeles Sparks and Lindsay Whalen #13 of the Minnesota Lynx go after a loose ball during the fourth quarter of Game Five of the WNBA Finals on October 4, 2017 at Williams in Minneapolis, Minnesota. The Lynx defeated the Sparks 85-76 to win the championship.

The United States had a rough start to the 2017 World Baseball Classic tournament. Team USA needed extra innings to defeat Colombia, blew a 5-0 lead against the Dominican Republic, and lost to Puerto Rico 6-5 in the second round.

U.S. Thrashes Puerto Rico 8-0 in WBC 2017 Final

However, the Americans turned their luck around Wednesday night in Los Angeles, obtaining their vengeance on Puerto Rico with an 8-0 thrashing in the finals to secure their first-ever WBC title before an excited crowd of 51,565 at Dodger Stadium.

The U.S. got six no-hit innings from pitcher Marcus Stroman, while Ian Kinsler ignited the offense with a two-run homer, a single and two runs scored in routing a Puerto Rico team that had entered the championship game undefeated.

“We had a goal — to put the U.S.A. on top of the baseball world where it belongs, and we did exactly that,” said first baseman Eric Hosmer, who played on the 2013 team that got eliminated by Puerto Rico. “So we’re proud of the guys. It’s an awesome experience.”

The Americans had only made it to the semifinals once in the previous three WBCs. Now, they have won three straight elimination games against the Dominican Republic, Japan and Puerto Rico to claim their first WBC trophy.

“I don’t want to bore you, but my theme all along has been, ‘Make a memory, fellas,’” manager Jim Leyland said.

Team USA has made several memories recently. The pitchers allowed just two runs in the final 26 innings of the tournament, and Stroman— a Toronto Blue Jays ace— was the latest starter to deliver a great performance. Center fielder Adam Jones gave great hits and catches, Brandon Crawford was a defensive powerhouse, and Kinsler led on the offensive front.

Kinsler made social media go abuzz earlier in the day when he commented on the different styles of play in the WBC, remarks that some perceived to be a veiled criticism of Latino players. On Wednesday night, he hit a two-run homer off Seth Lugo in the third inning. Kinsler also singled and scored on Christian Yelich’s single in the fifth, thus giving the Americans a 3-0 lead and chasing off Lugo, a New York Mets right-hander, in the process.

Andrew McCutchen then put the U.S. up 4-0 with an infield single later that same inning. Crawford then smacked a bases-loaded, two-out, full-count single in the seventh. By that point, it was clear which team would win the game.

Stroman, who surrendered hits to the first six batters he faced in last week’s loss to Puerto Rico, greatly improved on Wednesday, and was named the WBC’s Most Valuable Player after the final.

The 25-year-old right hander, who has a fiery personality, was eligible to play for Puerto Rico, where his mother was born. Stroman and his mother had been mocked on social media after he announced in December that he would pitch for the U.S. in this year’s WBC, though following the 2013 tournament he said he hoped to represent Puerto Rico in 2017.

Stroman’s no-hitter ended when Angel Pagan smacked a double into the left-field corner to kick off the seventh. The pitcher then walked off the field to a standing ovation, pounding his chest emphatically before entering the dugout.

“I love pitching in these moments. I love the atmosphere,” Stroman said. “I feel like the bigger the game, the more I’m able to get up, the more effective I am. I truly try to pride myself on being a big-game pitcher. This was probably one of the biggest — if not the biggest — game I’ve ever pitched in, and that was just a nod to coming off with the lead and giving us an opportunity to win that game.”

Stroman allowed only one other base runner, walking Carlos Beltran to start the second. However, he was rapidly erased when Yadier Molina grounded into a double play. Stroman also struck out Carlos Correa to end the fourth.

The U.S. players seemed to be more effusive in the final than they were in other games in the tournament. Players from other countries, mainly those from the Caribbean and Asia, seemed to have been having more fun in the WBC than the Americans, according to some. However, some of the Team USA coaches unsurprisingly disputed this notion.

“We’re having fun,” said Willie Randolph, the third-base coach for the U.S. “We’re having a blast. Just because we’re not trying to keep up with somebody else on the enthusiasm gauge, that’s not really important. Our team is as excited as any team in this.”

Clearly, this is a game that U.S. baseball players and fans alike would never forget.
