THE WEEKEND REPORT SEPTEMBER 16, 2019

It was an exciting weekend for Arizona sports.  With football season in full swing and baseball season nearing its end there was plenty to watch in Arizona.  Here's the weekend recap.

We'll start in the college ranks.  The Arizona Wildcats host Texas A&M in a non conference game.  QB Khalil Tate lead the Wildcats to a 28-14 victory.  He threw for 185 yards and 1 TD, ran for 129 yards and another score.  The Wildcats are now 2-1 and next play UCLA.

ASU went in to East Lancing Michigan to face #18 Michigan State.  They only scored 10 points, which was not surprising.  The surprise was the Spartan's on scored 7 and the Sun Devils came away with a big upset.  Michigan State tied the score with a field goal, but after further review they had 12 players on the field and were forced to retry the kick.  The kicked was no good and ASU was victorious.  ASU is 3-0 and plays Colorado next.

In baseball the Arizona Diamondbacks played host to the Cincinnati Reds this weekend.  The Dbacks are trying to claim a wild card spot in the National League but lost 2 of 3 to the Reds.  They have lost 7 of 10 games and at 76-74 have a very slim chance to make the playoffs.  They start a 3 game series with the Miami Marlins tonight.

In the NFL the Cardinals traveled to Baltimore to face the Ravens.  The Ravens were coming off of a blowout win against the Dolphins last week and many though we would have a repeat this week.  That was not the case as the defense proved to be the strength of this young Cardinals team.  The Ravens jumped out to a 17-6 halftime lead and the Cardinals could not get their offense going.  They showed some signs of life in the fourth quarter but fell short 23-17.  QB Kyler Murray was 25-40 for 349 yards but did not throw a TD.
