The Bronx Bombers more than lived up to the moniker, hitting six solo home runs in an 8-0 victory at Yankee Stadium. Judge left the park twice and had three RBI in the win. Also going deep were Giancarlo Stanton, Gleyber Torres, Jose Trevino and Anthony Rizzo. Photo by USA Today

Stamkos scored both of the Lightning's goals on Saturday, including the series-winner with 6:32 left in the 3rd period, to defeat the New York Rangers 2-1 and book their third consecutive appearance in the Stanley Cup Finals. The Colorado Avalanche await, with Game 1 in Denver on Wednesday. Photo by USA Today

Bottom right: The Jamestown Tarp Skunks are off to a 4-3 start in the early stages of this season's Perfect Game Collegiate Baseball League. The Skunks needed some late dramatics on Saturday to get above the .500 mark; they trailed Utica 8-4 before scoring five runs in the bottom of the 8th inning for a 9-8 victory. Jamestown's next game is this afternoon against Elmira at Diethrick Park. Photo by the Jamestown Tarp Skunks
