Kody Clemens Hits Ultimate Grand Slam as Women's Pro Baseball League Opens

Kody Clemens of the Minnesota Twins hit an ultimate grand slam during a game against the Kansas City Royals, marking a rare achievement in baseball. This event occurred just days before the MLB trade deadline, which is set for Monday.

The ultimate grand slam is defined as a walk-off grand slam with the team trailing by three runs. Clemens' dramatic hit came after the Royals' pitcher Noah Cameron had a strong performance, taking a no-hitter into the seventh inning. The Twins are currently in the playoff race, sitting at 55-55, just behind the Guardians for the last AL wild-card spot.

Additionally, the Women's Pro Baseball League is set to kick off its Opening Day, the first professional women's baseball league in 72 years. The league will feature teams from major cities, including the Los Angeles Queens and San Francisco Firebells, all playing in Springfield, Illinois. This location holds historical significance as it hosted the first known women's baseball game with ticket-buying fans in 1875.
