OKC DODGERS: Oklahoma City scored two runs in the bottom of the ninth inning, but were unable to come back from an early deficit in a 6-3 loss against the Salt Lake Bees Wednesday afternoon at Chickasaw Bricktown Ballpark. Salt Lake (31-34) built a 3-0 lead through two innings. Michael Stefanic hit a RBI single in the first inning before RBI singles from Jo Adell and Stefanic in the second inning. The Dodgers were held without a hit until the fourth inning when Jahmai Jones hit a double. Patrick Mazeika connected on a RBI double in the fifth inning to get the Dodgers on the scoreboard. The Bees added two runs in the sixth inning, including a RBI triple by Jordyn Adams, and another in the seventh inning via a RBI single by Adams, for a 6-1 advantage. Jones hit a RBI triple out to the right field wall with one out in ninth and David Freitas followed up with a RBI double to cut the Bees' lead to three runs, but the next two OKC batters were retired to end the game. NHL: Henri Richard's family says the late Hockey Hall of Famer has been diagnosed with chronic traumatic encephalop­athy. CTE is a degenerati­ve brain disease linked to concussion­s. Henri's son, Denis, says he wants people to understand that the disease doesn't just affect football players. Richard retired in 1975 after a 20-year career with the Montreal Canadiens in which he won the Stanley Cup 11 times, the most in NHL history. He died in 2020 at the age of 84. CTE can only be diagnosed posthumous­ly. It can cause memory loss, depression and violent mood swings in athletes, combat veterans and others who sustain repeated head trauma. PGA: PGA Tour Commission­er Jay Monahan is recovering from a medical situation. The tour did not offer details of the situation or how serious it was. The tour says two of Monahan's top executives will be leading the day-to-day operations while he recovers. It caps a tumultuous week for the 53-year-old Monahan. It was last Tuesday when he stunned the golf world and his players by announcing a deal with Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund for a business partnershi­p. The wealth fund is what pays for LIV Golf, the rival the PGA Tour had been battling in court. — Staff and wire reports
