Her floor exercise, the one that includes two elements already named after her in the sport’s Code of Points, was far more precise than it was on Friday. She was well in bounds on all but one of her tumbling passes and her 14.950 included a 6.8 D-score, which ranks the difficulty of the routine, tied for the highest by any athlete on any event at the meet.
“Incredible,” center fielder Ian Happ said. “He hits a homer every time. I was on base for that second one, and as soon as he hit it, I was like, ‘Yep, there’s another one.’ He’s got seven pumps already, and he hasn’t been here that long.
“It’s beyond sacred,” La Russa said of Mack’s mark. “Unattainable. I didn’t even think this was attainable, actually. I’m talking about the last four, five years of my career. I didn’t think this was ever going to happen. Even the year I retired, my family was very upset because they wanted this to happen. But you go out when you think you’re done.
“Anytime you get to make a play for your pitcher, it’s a special play,” Engel said. “As a defender, that’s our job to go out there and make your pitcher feel comfortable. Let him know if he does his job and throws strikes, we are going to do our job and play good defense behind him.”
On Saturday night, a 34-year-old man was driving his Audi in the 200 block of North LaSalle Street when a white sedan bumped him from behind shortly before 9 p.m., police said. The 34-year-old pulled over and got out of his car to exchange information, and then a man left the passenger seat of the sedan and pointed a gun at him, according to police. The gunman demanded the driver’s keys, which he handed over, and told the others in the Audi to get out. He then fled in the Audi, along with the driver of the sedan, police said.

“I think sometimes people forget what really makes an organization,” Rodgers said at the time. “History is important, the legacy of so many people who’ve come before you. But the people, that’s the most important thing. People make an organization. People make a business, and sometimes that gets forgotten. Culture is built brick by brick, the foundation of it by the people, not by the organization, not by the building, not by the corporation. It’s built by the people.”
Against Williams, whose right thigh carried a heavy tape job, Rybakina hit big, flat serves. She dealt with, but managed to steady, her nerves. She even produced the occasional return winner off Williams’ speedy and spectacularly gifted serve, breaking her five times, including in the next-to-last game.
