UNITED WAY OF SOUTHWEST MICHIGAN NEEDS VOLUNTEERS FOR ITS 12TH ANNUAL “RAKE A DIFFERENCE” TO HELP SENIORS WITH FALL YARD WORK! Sign up before Oct 14 at volunteer.uwsm.org! Volunteer teams are called to serve seniors in Berrien, Cass, and Van Buren counties. On Thursday, November 10, 2022, hundreds of area volunteers, working as teams, will help seniors in Southwest Michigan rake and bag leaves and clean gutters as part of United Way’s 12th annual “Rake A Difference.” The service is FREE of charge and serves seniors, age 60 and older, who can’t physically perform yard work and can’t afford to pay for services. Seniors are helped on a first-come, first-served basis, dependent on the number of volunteers available. Before winter hits, raking leaves and cleaning out gutters is a vital step to ensuring spring snow melt does not cause water damage to home or lawn. Many area seniors try to accomplish this work on their own, putting them at risk for falls and serious injury. United Way of Southwest Michigan mobilizes the community to give them a helping hand in prepping for winter. Volunteers can sign up at volunteer.uwsm.org. The deadline for volunteers to sign up is Oct. 14. “There is great need for this volunteer service in our communities. Raking leaves and cleaning gutters can be difficult, if not impossible, for many seniors, but with your help, seniors can be ready for winter,” said Debbie Ramirez, Volunteer Engagement Director at United Way of Southwest Michigan. “Rake A Difference is fun team-building experience for many businesses, organizations, and other groups—sign up a team today!” For more information and to sign up, visit //uwsm.org/rake-a-difference. ABOUT UNITED WAY United Way of Southwest Michigan fights for the Health, Education, and Financial Stability of every person in every community. We have the influence and relationships to make sustainable change a reality. By harnessing resources from corporate, nonprofit, and public partners, we provide immediate assistance to our most vulnerable populations while addressing the root causes of our community’s longstanding challenges and changing lives for the better.

MLB – Major League Baseball Last Night Houston Astros 2, Detroit Tigers 1 Colorado Rockies 3, Chicago White Sox 0 Chicago Cubs 6, New York Mets 3 Astros 2, Tigers 1 – Javier leads Astros over Tigers 2-1 for 7-game season sweep Cristian Javier allowed two hits in six shutout innings, and the Houston Astros beat Detroit 2-1 for a seven-game season sweep of the Tigers. Javier struck out eight and walked none, winning for the third time in four decisions. Ryan Pressly pitched a one-hit ninth for his 28th save in 32 chances, finishing a four-hitter. The AL-best Astros are losing in on their sixth straight postseason appearance. Last-place Detroit is on the verge of its first 90-loss season since 2019. Rockies 3, White Sox 0 – Freeland outduels Cease, Rockies blank White Sox 3-0 Kyle Freeland outdueled Dylan Cease and put a dent in a push by the Chicago White Sox for a playoff spot, pitching 6 2/3 shutout innings as the Colorado Rockies earned a 3-0 victory. The White Sox fell four games behind AL Central-leading Cleveland with 19 games remaining. Chicago travels to Cleveland for a makeup game Thursday, and the teams return to Chicago for a three-game series starting Sept. 20. Freeland frustrated a Chicago lineup that was 0-for-11 with runners in scoring position. He worked around seven hits and three walks, striking out five. Freeland has posted a 2.17 ERA over his last four starts. Chicago fell to 20-9 in games started by Cease. Cubs 6, Mets 3 – Peterson tagged early, Mets fall to Cubs 6-3 and get swept David Peterson got only one out and the slumping New York Mets fell behind early in a 6-3 loss that completed a three-game sweep by the Chicago Cubs. The NL East leaders lost their fifth consecutive home game and dropped to 5-7 in a 16-game stretch against Washington, Pittsburgh, Miami and Chicago — all more than 20 games under .500 this season. New York remained a half-game ahead of the Braves in the division race after they lost in San Francisco earlier. Pete Alonso and Tomás Nido homered for the Mets, who scored six runs in the series and got swept for the fourth time this year. Today Chicago White Sox (Lynn 6-5) at Cleveland (Gaddis 0-1), 1:10 p.m. Tigers and Cubs are off NFL – National Football League – Week 2 Tonight Los Angeles Chargers at Kansas City Chiefs, 8:15 p.m. NFL – Bears hope improvement on offense continues in Green Bay The Chicago Bears hope the improvement their offense showed in the second half of their season-opening win carries over to their game at rival Green Bay this week. Chicago started to click in the second half against San Francisco and pulled out a surprising 19-10 win in coach Matt Eberflus’ debut. The Bears finished with 204 yards after managing just 68 in the first two quarters. But there were sparks in the second half that they hope can propel them forward. NFL – NFL on Prime Video latest foray by leagues into streaming The NFL is set to make its debut with a streaming service on Thursday night. Amazon Prime Video will show the Los Angeles Chargers’ game against the Kansas City Chiefs. It’s the highest-profile of a series of deals between sports leagues and streaming services. NHL games will be shown on both ESPN+ and Hulu. Major League Baseball has deals with Apple TV+ and Peacock. Industry experts say viewers are becoming more comfortable with streaming games and advances in technology have made it seamless. NFL – More than 121 million watched NFL games on opening weekend More than 121 million fans watched a telecast of an NFL game during the league’s opening week, a 5% increase over last season. The league and Nielsen say the average viewership for all games was 18.5 million. That’s the NFL’s best opening weekend in six years and up 3% from last year. NBC had the two highest-viewed games. Tampa Bay’s 19-3 win over Dallas Sunday night averaged 24.5 million and last Thursday’s opening game, in which Buffalo routed the defending Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams 31-10, attracted 21.3 million. WNBA – WNBA Playoffs – WNBA Finals (best of 5) Tonight Las Vegas Aces at Connecticut Sun, 9:00 p.m. (LV leads 2-0) WNBA – A’ja Wilson has Aces on brink of first WNBA championship A’ja Wilson has the Las Vegas Aces one victory away from the franchise’s first WNBA championship. She has been dominant on both ends of the court for the Aces, becoming the first player in WNBA history to have over 20 points and 10 rebounds in five consecutive playoff games. Las Vegas leads the best-of-five series 2-0, and Game 3 against the Sun is Thursday night in Connecticut. NCAAFB – FBS ADs urge college football reform, but not NCAA breakaway The athletic directors who lead the schools that play major college football want the sport to continue be governed by the NCAA. But only if that governance can be streamlined. LEAD1, an association of Bowl Subdivision ADs, convened 105 of its 131 members for a meeting in Washington that focused mostly
