During a bail hearing broadcast Sunday on YouTube, authorities said Keon Rodgers, who faces a first-degree murder charge, set up an online profile using the photos of the mother of his 9-month-old child and used the profile to bait the victim to come to the 6900 block of South Michigan Avenue for a sexual encounter.
A witness told police the attacker, a man about 30, who had dreadlocks, was wearing a red bandanna, a dark shirt and light-colored pants, emerged from the nearby D’Angelo Park and stabbed the woman before fleeing to Lower Wacker Drive and discarding the shirt, which police found.
The defense let the team down, as illustrated Sunday even when the game was out of reach. There was a miscommunication in the fifth inning between Lamb in right, Goodwin in center field and second baseman Danny Mendick on a ball to shallow right-center hit by Chas McCormick; it fell in for a two-out single.
In the fifth inning, Patrick Wisdom worked a 3-2 count and 15-pitch at bat before singling on a hard-hit one-hopper that gave shortstop Miguel Rojas trouble. It tied Jon Jay’s single off Milwaukee’s Brandon Woodruff on Sept. 22, 2017, for the longest Cubs at-bat to end with a hit since at least 1988.
Schwarber’s third homer followed a pinch-hit double by Gerardo Parra, a 34-year-old fan favorite who returned to the Nationals on Sunday when his contract was selected from Triple-A Rochester. Parra’s walkup music of the children’s song “Baby Shark” became a theme of the Nationals’ run to the 2019 World Series title, and it sounded before his at-bat to the crowd’s delight.
“We certainly believe we’ll bounce out of it, but it’s a time where we need to do those smaller things, work at bats, work walks, get guys over,” Sogard said after Saturday’s game. “Do a little small ball compared to relying on the home run all the time. We’ve got to find other ways to win than just by the long ball.”
Under the new policy, vaccinated players will also no longer be required to wear masks at the team’s facility or during team travel. They will have no travel restrictions, can use the sauna/steam room and weight room without capacity limits, and can interact with vaccinated friends and family during team travel.
But slowly, his company began requiring employees to come back into the office — first for two days a week, then three, then four. With so many people commuting to work in their cars, his trip from his home in Mamaroneck, New York, to the middle of Long Island could stretch to two hours each way, leaving him little time for his pastimes.
“We were greeted by dogs and whips, by shouting and screaming, orders to try to empty the train, by confusion, and by men in striped uniform. We didn’t know it at the time, but the men in uniform were the Jews who were brought there before us. They were called ‘Kanada,’ which I found out later. Their job was to empty the train. One of those men saved my life,” she said in 1990.
Temperatures on Sunday, Father’s Day, will stay in the high 80s and low 90s, but will cool down early next week with lingering rain and thunderstorms southeast of the city, Ogorek said. Monday has the greatest chance of rain, with high temperatures in the 70s and lows in the 50s, according to the weather service.
