And as she noted:

Boston Celtics 102 - Cleveland Cavaliers 111
Tampa Bay Lightning 0 - Washington Capitals 3

So the winning combination for this CROSS OVER DAILY DOUBLE was CLEVELAND and WASHINGTON

Out of the 25 players, 13 people did indeed have the right combination:

250 Commonwealth Games Athletes and Officials Missing in Australia

Now the BBC has picked up the developing story . . . .

Around 50 competitors have remained in Australia illegally after going missing during this year's Commonwealth Games, a government official has said. Nearly 200 others now hold bridging visas and are applying for refugee status.

Australia has warned it will deport those who stay in the country illegally, after dozens of competitors - including many from Africa - disappeared from the competition.

The numbers are a dramatic increase on other international sporting events. 190 of the 205 athletes and officials in the country legally are seeking protection visas. The remaining number are applying for business or other visas.

Total numbers are still unclear . . .

Pj... congrats to the Yankees. Tonight's easy win over (the miserable) Texas Rangers helped to maintain their best overall record in the League.
At 31 and 13, they are looking really good. But still, Boston is only a half a game back with their 32 and 15 record. It will be fun watching these two teams all summer.

John, I was just commenting to my brother that even the very worst MLB team wins at least three out of ten games, so that keeps things interesting. The Royals beat the Yankees 5-2 on the 18th, for example. One factoid I missed is the following:

"The most potent lineup in the big leagues continued to slug at a historic pace on Monday. Led by the first multi-homer game of Gleyber Torres' young career, the Yankees cracked another five homers in a 10-5 slugfest victory over the Rangers at Globe Life Park. Torres went deep in the second and sixth innings, Neil Walker hit his first homer of the season and Aaron Judge launched his 12th long ball as the Yankees tallied at least four homers for the third consecutive game, marking the first time in franchise history that the feat has been accomplished. Aaron Hicks added a two-run shot in the ninth."

Yeah Pj... the standard rule of thumb is
ANY TEAM can
lose 54 games
win 54 games
And the difference between a champion and a dog is how they do in the other 54 games

And that's interesting on the 4 home runs or more in three consecutive games... I would have thought that it had been done before by the Yankees
