Stallion Uranium Corp. (the ‘ Company ‘ or ‘ Stallion ‘) ( TSX-V: STUD; OTCQB: STLNF; FSE: FE0 ) is pleased to announce that it has arranged a non-brokered private placement (the ‘ Offering ‘) of up to a combined aggregate of 60,000,000 flow-through (‘ FT Units ‘) and non-flow through (‘ NFT Units ‘) units at a price of $0.20 per NFT Unit and FT Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $12,000,000. The Offering is expected to close in multiple tranches, the first of which is anticipated to close on or before August 15, 2025. The Company anticipates that, upon completion of the Offering, a new Control Person (as defined below), Mr. Matthew Mason (‘ Mr. Mason ‘), will be created though Mr. Mason’s anticipated purchase of 15,000,000 FT Units. Mr. Mason’s subscription is subject to obtaining requisite approval from the disinterested shareholders of the Company (as further described below) and the TSX Venture Exchange (the ‘ TSXV ‘).

 

Each FT Unit will consist of one flow-through common share of the Company as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada) (a ‘ FT Share ‘) and one FT Share purchase warrant (each a ‘ FT Warrant ‘). Each FT Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional FT Share in the capital of the Company (a ‘ FT Warrant Share ‘) at a price of $0.26 per FT Warrant Share for a period of 60 months from the closing of the Offering.

 

Each NFT Unit will consist of one non-flow-through common share in the capital of the Company (a ‘ NFT Share ‘) and one share purchase warrant (a ‘ NFT Warrant ‘). Each NFT Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional non-flow-through common share in the capital of the Company (a ‘ NFT Warrant Share ‘) at a price of $0.26 per NFT Warrant Share for a period of 60 months from the closing of the Offering.

 

Finder’s fees may be payable in connection with the completion of the Offering in accordance with TSXV policies. In connection with the Offering, the Company has entered into an Advisory Agreement with Canaccord Genuity Corp. (the ‘ Advisor ‘), pursuant to which the Advisor shall provide financial advisory, consulting, and support services in connection with the Offering (the ‘ Advisory Services ‘). In consideration for the Advisory Services, subject to the approval of the TSXV, the Company will pay the Advisor a work fee equal to $150,000 (the ‘ Fee ‘). The Fee shall be payable in units at the terms matching those of the NFT Units in the Offering. The Fee Units and the underlying securities issued to the Advisor will be subject to a four month and one day hold period in accordance with Canadian securities laws.

 

The gross proceeds raised from the issuance of the FT Units will be used by the Company to incur exploration expenditures on the Company’s resource claims in the province of Saskatchewan and will constitute ‘Canadian exploration expenses’ as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada). The net proceeds raised from the issuance of the NFT Units will be used by the Company for exploration and development activities of its Athabasca Basin properties and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

Closing of the Offering is subject to a number of conditions, including receipt of all necessary corporate and regulatory approvals, including the TSXV. Policy 4.1 of the TSXV Corporate Finance Manual requires disinterested shareholder approval where a transaction creates a shareholder that holds or controls 20% or more of an issuer’s shares (a ‘ Control Person ‘). The Company anticipates that Mr. Mason’s purchase of FT Units under the Offering will create a new Control Person pursuant to Policy 4.1. To fulfil the requirements of Policy 4.1, the Company intends to seek approval of disinterested shareholders holding or controlling more than 50% of its common shares of the Company to approve the creation of the new Control Person by written consent resolution. All securities issued in connection with the Offering will be subject to a statutory hold period of four months plus a day from the date of issuance in accordance with applicable securities legislation.

 

Insiders of the Company will participate in the Offering.

5 Best-performing Canadian Uranium Stocks of 2025

Investing 11 Mins Read

The uranium market stumbled into Q2 2025, after spot prices dipped to an 18 month low of US$63.50 per pound in March amid abundant secondary supply and cautious utility contracting.

By June, however, prices had rebounded into the US$70 range on renewed US policy support and heightened geopolitical tensions. While the spot market remains volatile, long-term prices have held steady at US$80 level.

Yet utility demand still lags. Just 25 million pounds were contracted by mid-year, putting 2025 on track to fall well short of the 160 million pounds booked in 2023.

“It’s a pressure cooker,” said Oceanwall’s Ben Finegold, pointing to a widening disconnect between term prices and utility participation. With global supply still covering only 80 to 90 percent of annual reactor needs and inventories thinning, market watchers warn a sharp contracting surge is inevitable.

Compounding the urgency are ambitious global buildout plans, including 69 reactors under construction and a US proposal to quadruple nuclear capacity by 2050.

As the supply-demand gap grows, uranium investors are watching closely for a return of utility buying and a possible inflection point for the sector.

Amid this opaque landscape, several Canadian uranium companies registered significant gains so far in 2025. Below are the best-performing Canadian uranium stocks by share price performance. All data was obtained on July 30, 2025, using TradingView’s stock screener. Companies on the TSX, TSXV and CSE with market caps above C$10 million at the time were considered.

Read on to learn about the top Canadian uranium stocks in 2025, including what factors have been moving their share prices.

1. Purepoint Uranium (TSXV:PTU)

Year-to-date gain: 109 percent
Market cap: C$31.69 million
Share price: C$0.46

Exploration company Purepoint Uranium has an extensive uranium portfolio including six joint ventures and five wholly owned projects, all located in Canada’s Athabasca Basin.

In a January statement, Purepoint announced it had strengthened its relationship with IsoEnergy (TSX:ISO) when the latter exercised its put option under the framework of a previously announced joint-venture agreement, transferring 10 percent of its stake to Purepoint in exchange for 4 million shares.

The now 50/50 joint venture will explore 10 uranium projects across 98,000 hectares in Saskatchewan’s Eastern Athabasca Basin, including the Dorado project.

Purepoint shares jumped from C$0.265 on July 7 to C$0.465 on July 9 after the release of initial drill results from Dorado. According to the July 8 statement, drilling at the Q48 target “confirm(ed) the zone as a significant uranium-bearing structure.”

Continuing to trend higher, shares reached a year-to-date high of C$0.52 on July 23. The move coincided with an additional drill result release from the discovery, now dubbed the Nova Discovery target area.

“PG25-07A has successfully extended the Nova Discovery zone by 70 metres and delivered our strongest intercept to date, both in intensity and thickness based on radioactivity,’ Purepoint President and CEO Chris Frostad said.

2. District Metals (TSXV:DMX)

Year-to-date gains: 104.9 percent
Market cap: C$139.38 million
Share price: C$0.83

District Metals is an energy metals and polymetallic exploration and development company with a portfolio of seven assets in Sweden, including four uranium projects: Viken, Ardnasvarre, Sågtjärn and Nianfors. Currently, District is focused on its Viken uranium-vanadium project, which the company says hosts the world’s largest undeveloped uranium deposit.

The company’s share price began trending upwards in mid-May following news of a fully subscribed C$6 million private placement.

Some noteworthy announcements since then include the completion of a helicopter-borne mobile magnetotellurics survey at the Viken property in late June, with results expected later in Q3.

Also in June, the company commended Sweden’s Ministry of Climate and Enterprise for submitting a proposal to lift the country’s longstanding ban on uranium mining. The referral recommends allowing uranium extraction under the Minerals Act and permitting exploration and processing applications under set conditions.

Shares of District Metals rose to a year-to-date high of C$1.01 on July 24, two days after the announcement of a high-resolution drone-based radiometric and magnetic survey across its Ardnasvarre, Sågtjärn and Nianfors projects, which are largely covered by thin glacial overburden and have never been subject to detailed geophysical surveying.

According to the company, the drone will fly low and with tight line spacing, allowing detection of subtle anomalies that traditional surveys may have missed.

3. Energy Fuels (TSX:EFR)

Year-to-date gain: 70.21 percent
Market cap: C$2.83 billion
Share price: C$12.80

US-based uranium producer Energy Fuels has a large portfolio of conventional and in-situ recovery (ISR) projects across the Western United States, including Pinyon Plain in Arizona, a top national producer.

Additionally, Energy Fuels owns and operates the White Mesa mill, the only fully licensed and operating conventional uranium mill in the US. The company is progressing heavy rare earth oxide processing at the plant as well.

In line with US efforts to bolster domestic uranium output, Energy Fuels has been ramping up Pinyon Plain. In May, a record of approximately 260,000 pounds of U3O8 was mined at the site, up 71 percent over the prior month.

A subsequent press release tallied Q2 2025 output from Pinyon Plain at 638,700 pounds of uranium, which it said exceeded estimates due to the high uranium grades, which averaged 2.23 percent in Q2 and 3.51 percent in June.

Company shares reached a year-to-date high of C$13.80 on July 27. The stock bump followed the successful commencement of pilot scale heavy rare earth production at its White Mesa mill on July 17.

4. Stallion Uranium (TSXV:STUD)

Year-to-date gain: 56.67 percent
Market cap: C$10.72 million
Share price: C$0.23

Uranium junior Stallion Uranium holds a 2,870 square kilometer land package on the western side of Saskatchewan’s Athabasca Basin, including a joint venture with Atha Energy (TSXV:SASK,OTCQB:SASKF) for the largest contiguous project in the region. The company’s primary focus is the Coyote target at the project.

Stallion’s share price shot upwards on July 8 after it announced a technology data acquisition agreement for Matchstick TI, an intelligent geological target identification platform with 77 percent accuracy. Stallion plans to use the technology to enhance its exploration efforts.

On July 14, the company reported the results of a 3D inversion of ground gravity data over the Coyote target, part of its joint venture with Atha Energy.

‘The inversion modelling at Coyote has delineated a laterally extensive and coherent gravity low, spatially coincident with a structurally complex corridor exhibiting attributes characteristic of fertile uranium-bearing systems within the Athabasca Basin,” Stallion Uranium CEO Matthew Schwab said.

Three days later, the company announced it settled its outstanding debt with Atha Energy, issuing 802,809 common shares at a deemed price of C$0.135 per share.

Stallion’s shares registered a year-to-date high of C$0.25 on July 18.

Stallion released results from an electromagnetic survey on July 21 that further refined the Coyote target area.

5. Cameco (TSX:CCO)

Year-to-date gain: 45.96 percent
Market cap: C$47.21 billion
Share price: C$108.10

Sector major Cameco is a leading global uranium producer headquartered in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. The company supplies uranium fuel for nuclear energy generation and holds significant assets across the nuclear fuel cycle, including 49 percent interests in Westinghouse Electric Company (NYSE:BBU) and Global Laser Enrichment.

In the Athabasca Basin, Cameco’s portfolio includes a majority interest in the Cigar Lake mine, the world’s top-producing uranium mine. The company also fully owns the McArthur River mine, another major high-grade deposit in the same region. Additionally, Cameco operates the Key Lake mill, which processes ore from both Cigar Lake and McArthur River.

Globally, Cameco owns the Crow Butte ISR operation in Nebraska and the Smith Ranch-Highland ISR operation in Wyoming. Both are currently in care and maintenance. In Kazakhstan, Cameco holds a 40 percent interest in the Inkai joint venture, a producing ISR uranium operation developed in partnership with state-owned Kazatomprom.

On June 6, Cameco announced an expected US$170 million increase in its 49 percent equity share of Westinghouse Electric Company’s adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) for Q2 and full year 2025. The projected gain is linked to Westinghouse’s involvement in building two nuclear reactors at the Dukovany power plant in the Czech Republic.

In its Q2 2025 results, released July 31, the company reported net earnings of C$321 million, adjusted net earnings of C$308 million and adjusted EBITDA of C$673 million — all significantly higher year-over-year in part because of the aforementioned share of Westinghouse’s EBITDA.

In its uranium segment, Cameco’s production totaled 4.6 million pounds, down from 7.1 million pounds in Q2 2024, due to planned maintenance at the Key Lake mill. However, its adjusted EBITDA for the segment increased by 43 percent year-over-year to C$352 million.

Cameco’s share price reached a year-to-date high of C$109.10 on July 25.

FAQs for investing in uranium

What is uranium used for?

Uranium is primarily used for the production of nuclear energy, a form of clean energy created in nuclear power plants. In fact, 99 percent of uranium is used for this purpose. As of 2022, there were 439 active nuclear reactors, as per the International Atomic Energy Agency. Last year, 8 percent of US power came from nuclear energy.

The commodity is also used in the defense industry as a component of nuclear weaponry, among other uses. However, there are safeguards in effect to keep this to a minimum. To create weapons-grade uranium, the material has to be enriched significantly — above 90 percent — to the point that to achieve just 5.6 kilograms of weapons-grade uranium, it would require 1 metric ton of uranium pre-enrichment.

Because of this necessity, uranium enrichment facilities are closely monitored under international agreements. Uranium used for nuclear power production only needs to be enriched to 5 percent; nuclear enrichment facilities need special licenses to enrich above that point for uses such as research at 20 percent enrichment.

The metal is also used in the medical field for applications such as transmission electron microscopy. Before uranium was discovered to be radioactive, it was used to impart a yellow color to ceramic glazes and glass.

Where is uranium found?

The country with the greatest uranium reserves by far is Australia — the island nation holds 28 percent of the world’s uranium reserves. Rounding out the top three are Kazakhstan with 15 percent and Canada with 9 percent.

Although Australia has the highest reserves, it holds uranium as a low priority and is only fourth overall for production. All its uranium output is exported, with none used for domestic nuclear energy production.

Kazakhstan is the world’s largest producer of the metal, with production of 21,227 metric tons in 2022. The country’s national uranium company, Kazatomprom, is the world’s largest producer.

Canada’s uranium reserves are found primarily in its Athabasca Basin, and the region is a top producer of the metal as well.

Why should I buy uranium stocks?

Investors should always do their own due diligence when looking at any commodity so that they can decide whether it fits into their investment plans. With that being said, many experts are convinced that uranium has entered into a significant bull market, meaning that uranium stocks could be a good buy.

A slew of factors have led to this bull market. While the uranium industry spent the last decade or so in a downturn following the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster, discourse has been building around the metal’s use as a source of clean energy, which is important for countries looking to reach climate goals. Nations are now prioritizing a mix of clean energies such as solar and wind energy alongside nuclear. Significantly, in August 2022, Japan announced it is looking into restarting its idled nuclear power plants and commissioning new ones.

Uranium prices are very important to uranium miners, as in recent years levels have not been high enough for production to be economic. However, in 2024, prices spiked from the US$58 in August 2023 to a high of US$106 per pound U3O8 in February 2024. They have since consolidated at around US$70, meaning this could be a buying point for those looking to get into the sector.

Questcorp Mining and Riverside Resources Announce Commencement of Maiden Drilling Program at the La Union Gold & Silver Project in Mexico

Investing 9 Mins Read

Questcorp Mining Inc. (CSE: QQQ,OTC:QQCMF) (OTCQB: QQCMF) (FSE: D910) (the ‘Company’ or ‘Questcorp’) is pleased to announce that drilling has commenced on its La Union Project in northwest Sonora, Mexico. This work is being carried out by property vendor and operator Riverside Resources Inc. (TSXV: RRI).

Highlights

  • Initial drill program is designed to expand known zones of mineralization, test new targets, and explore areas surrounding multiple historical mine workings within the 25 km² project area.
  • Drill program will consist of + 1,500m of diamond core drilling across six holes, each averaging 250m in depth.
  • Drilling to test the carbonate-hosted replacement deposit (CRD) style of mineralization, with gold associated with mantos, chimneys, and along structural zones.
  • Angled drill holes are aimed at cutting perpendicular to stratigraphic targets and some structural targets which is typical in CRD systems
  • Structural features may have served as mineralizing conduits and are key targets in the current drill program.

The recent exploration work over the past three months by Riverside has improved the understanding of the structural geology and stratigraphy in the Sierra El Viejo, the mountain range immediately to the west of La Union Project. The La Union district lies along the flanks of this range, where these updated interpretations help guide current exploration efforts. The exploration target focus is for a large potential gold discovery that expands from previous smaller scale mine operations on the property. The drill program will begin to test the new concepts and expand past previous mining.

Saf Dhillon, President & CEO states, ‘Questcorp is proud to be working with John-Mark and his whole team at Riverside in what is a historic moment in the development of this property. The La Union Project has had work conducted on it for decades, including the production of 50,000 ounces of gold itself but, it has never had a drill bit pierce the ground until now!’

Earlier this year, Questcorp entered into a definitive option agreement with Riverside’s wholly owned subsidiary, RRM Exploracion, S.A.P.I. DE C.V. to acquire a 100% interest in the La Union Project. As part of the agreement, Questcorp issued shares to Riverside, making Riverside a shareholder and aligning both parties’ interests in the Project’s success. With funding provided by Questcorp, an initial C$1,000,000 exploration program is now underway. This marks the first phase of a larger, C$5,500,000 work commitment, contingent on exploration results and Questcorp’s continued participation.

The Drill Program Targets include more than four different areas, beginning with this early-stage stratigraphic and orientation phase of drilling exploration aimed at evaluating the scale of alteration and indications of a mineralized system. This will be the first drilling ever conducted on most of the targets, despite past mining having occurred in the majority of these areas. The initial program will consist of one to three holes per area, primarily for orientation purposes. Follow-up drilling is planned and can be expanded based on initial results, which will help verify the stratigraphy, lithologies, and structural features allowing for improved modeling and next-stage discovery targeting. The four areas are listed below:

  • Union Main Mine Area – The program will use angled drill holes to test limestone and other carbonate stratigraphic hosts within the Clemente Formation, with the potential to reach the underlying Caborca Formation. These units are considered the primary hosts for replacement-style mineralization.
  • North Union Mine Area – The initial focus of the program will be on testing structural interpretations. Additional drilling is anticipated following this first phase, as results will help guide future drill testing of areas with past mining activity and various structural orientations.
  • Cobre Mine Area – The Clemente Formation is the primary host unit, and structural features combined with areas of past mining provide multiple target zones. Drilling will begin with an initial stratigraphic test hole to help orient around the thickness of the host unit and extend into the lower Caborca Formation, which is also a favorable host for CRD-style mineralization.
  • Central Union Area – Structural targets, as possible mineralization feeder zones, are a key focus in this past mining manto area. There are extensive additional target zones in the area, and this initial orientation drilling will provide vectoring for the next stage of drilling and further study of the Clemente Formation, and possibly into the Caborca Formation as currently interpreted.

General Overview of La Union Project

The Project is summarized in a recently published NI 43-101 Technical Report available under Questcorp’s SEDAR+ profile (www.sedarplus.ca). Riverside initially acquired the Project and subsequently consolidated additional inlier mineral claims, building a strong land position. Riverside then advanced the Project through surface access agreements and drill permitting, making it a turn-key exploration opportunity for Questcorp.

The Project was originally identified through Riverside’s exploration work in the western Sonora Gold Belt, conducted in collaboration with AngloGold Ashanti Limited, Centerra Gold Inc., and Hochschild Mining Plc. Earlier research by Riverside Founder John-Mark Staude also contributed to recognizing the district’s potential. Initial work by members of the Riverside team, drawing on more than two decades of geological compilation and analysis, further confirmed the region as highly prospective.

At the Project, historical mining by the Penoles Mining Company targeted chimney and manto-style replacement bodies within the upper oxide zones. As a result, the underlying sulfide zones represent immediate and compelling drill targets for further exploration.

The Project features favorable limestone host rocks, an extensive alteration footprint, and multiple small-scale historical workings, with mineralization styles similar to those at the Hermosa Project in southern Arizona. At Hermosa, South32 is advancing mine development following its acquisition of the project from Arizona Mining. On 15 February 2024, South32’s board approved a US $2.16 billion capital investment to develop the Taylor zinc-lead-silver deposit, representing the largest private mining investment in Southern Arizona’s history. The project is now considered one of the most significant undeveloped base-metal assets in the United States.

At the La Union Project, immediate drill targets offer the potential for significant-scale discoveries. La Union is well positioned for near-term exploration success, with targets that include both oxide and deeper sulfide mineralization.

The La Union Project

The La Union Project is a carbonate replacement deposit (‘CRD’) project hosted by Neoproterozoic sedimentary rocks (limestones, dolomites, and siliciclastic sediments) overlying crystalline Paleoproterozoic rocks of the Caborca Terrane. The structural setting features high-angle normal faults and low-to-medium-angle thrust faults that sometimes served as mineralization conduits. Mineralization occurs as polymetallic veins, replacement zones (mantos, chimneys), and shear zones with high-grade metal content, as shown in highlight grades of 59.4 grams per metric tonne (g/t) gold, 833 g/t silver, 11% zinc, 5.5% lead, 2.2% copper, along with significant hematite and manganese oxides, consistent with a CRD model (see the technical report entitled ‘NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Union Project, State of Sonora, Mexico’ dated effective May 6, 2025 available under Questcorp’s SEDAR+ profile). These targets also demonstrate intriguing potential for large gold discoveries potentially above an even larger porphyry Cu district potential as the Company’s target concept at this time.

Questcorp cautions investors that grab samples are selective by nature and not necessarily indicative of similar mineralization on the property.

Angel Reese injury: No ‘concrete timetable’ for Sky star’s return

Sport 2 Mins Read

CHICAGO — The Chicago Sky have lost eight games in a row, and has no ‘concrete timetable’ for a return of star Angel Reese.

Reese is set to miss her third straight game on Tuesday, Aug. 5, when the Sky take on the Washington Mystics at Wintrust Arena in Chicago. It will be the third straight game Reese has missed with a back issue, though she missed shootaround on Aug. 5 ahead of the game due to an illness, per Chicago coach Tyler Marsh.

The second-year player has played in 23 games for the Sky in 2025, but has now missed five of the last six, all of which resulted in losses for Chicago. The Sky entered play on Tuesday with a 7-21 record, with the trade deadline looming on Thursday, Aug. 7.

Here’s the latest on Reese’s injury and when Marsh said Sky fans can expect the star forward back in action:

Angel Reese injury update

Reese’s last action came in a 103-86 loss to the Mystics on Tuesday, July 29. She had 22 points and 13 rebounds in 32 minutes played.

Aug. 5 marked her third straight missed game and the fifth in six games. A return to the lineup does not seem imminent for Reese, according to her coach.

‘There isn’t a concrete timetable. To the extent that I know, it’s a back injury and she continues to be day to day,’ Marsh told media ahead of the Aug. 5 game against the Mystics. ‘I mentioned earlier that she wasn’t here for shootaround due to an illness. I think she’s progressing, but it’s still kind of wait and see.’

Here’s a look at Reese’s stats this season. She has missed six games this year.

Little League Softball World Series: Highlights, scores from Tuesday

Sport 13 Mins Read

The 2025 Little League Softball World Series continued with elimination games Tuesday, with the losing teams from the previous two days playing with a chance to compete in Wednesday’s slate.

The Southwest regionteam from Tulsa, Oklahoma, edged the Southeast squad from Lake Mary, Florida, on Monday, Aug. 4, while the Mid-Atlantic girls from Pennsylvania proved to be a juggernaut in their game against the West region team from Los Angeles. Meanwhile, Pitt County, North Carolina, continues to represent for the tournament’s host state, collecting a second consecutive win, while the team from Iwate, Japan, showed why its country is a powerhouse in all levels of softball with a victory over the squad from Canada.

The Day 3 schedule featured four win-or-go-home games, beginning at 10 a.m. ET.

In the first game on Tuesday, Washington won the tournament’s first elimination game with a resounding win over California. Brazil was the next team to advance after its triumph over Canada. Indiana defeated Czechia then Florida defeated Connecticut to round out the day’s action.

Here’s what went down at the Little League Softball World Series on Tuesday:

Little League Softball World Series scores today

  • Purple Bracket: Washington 10, California 0
  • Orange Bracket: Brazil 10, Canada 1
  • Orange Bracket: Indiana 4, Czechia 0
  • Purple Bracket: Florida 9, Connecticut 0

FINAL: Florida 9, Connecticut 0

Pitching. Offense. Defense.

Florida showed the ability to do it all in a 9-0 victory over Connecticut in elimination play and it will face Washington at 1 p.m. ET Wednesday on ESPN2.

Florida reliever Cayden Hugh had eight strikeouts in three innings and starter Sam Bradley had four strikeouts in three innings while they limited Connecticut to two hits. Florida, by contrast, banged out eight hits and Rachel Lester and Brynn Fieser had two RBIs apiece.

Florida pitching, offense sizzling

Florida starter Sam Bradley allowed just one hit and struck out four in three innings before she gave way to reliever Cayden Hugh. A gamble? Apparently not. Hugh promptly struck out three of four Connecticut hitters she faced in retiring the side. Then, in the top of the fifth, Florida scored three more runs and extended its lead to 7-0.

Florida extends lead over Connecticut

In the top of the fourth, Connecticut pitcher Maeve Eagleson recorded her fifth strikeout of the game. But Florida extended its lead to 4-0 when it scored on a fielding error.

Sterling defense aids Florida

Florida still leads 3-0 headed into the bottom of the third and that’s thanks in part to its defense. In the bottom of the second, third baseman Alana Luu backhanded a smash and threw out Connecticut’s Kali Ann Reinhold at first. Connecticut’s Reagan Klein then was thrown out trying to stretch a double into a triple. And in the first inning, catcher Addison Bono threw out Connecticut’s Maeve Eagleson at second

Florida jumps on top, 3-0

Florida broke open a scoreless tie in the top of the second when left fielder Rachel Lester blasted a two-run triple that sailed over the right fielder’s head. Lester then scored on a safety squeeze to put Florida ahead of Connecticut, 3-0.

FINAL: Indiana 4, Czechia 0

Indiana leaned on their strong pitching all game long. Grace Fiore was relentless in the final three innings, allowing only two baserunners. She nearly got out of the final frame with no runners left on base after a long review to see whether or not a stolen base attempt was successful.

Regardless, Indiana’s shutout was a testament to their strong pitching. Their three-run fourth inning only added to what was a dominant performance already.

Indiana will face Brazil in the next round, who defeated Canada 10-1 earlier today.

Nickels, Fiore continue working together

After Fiore pitched a scoreless fourth inning thanks to solid defense from Nickels, the two continued showing out for Indiana, recording a pair of hits to lead off the bottom of the fourth. Nickels’ hit would drive in Fiore and Nickels would come home just moments later via a single from Scarlett Renn coupled with an errant throw from the Czechia defense.

Indiana has extended their lead, up four runs going into the fifth.

Indiana swaps pitchers for the 4th

Despite an outstanding outing from their starter, Indiana has moved to Grace Fiore for the final three frames, hoping to stay alive. Through three innings, Czechia had been limited on the basepaths, getting barely an opportunity to score at all. With that in mind, this is a bold move from the Indiana coaching staff.

Fiore had good defense behind her for her first frame, with third baseman Kennedy Nickels recording all three outs (one grounder, two pop-ups) despite hurting her ankle on the first play. It remains 1-0 Indiana.

Indiana holds 1-0 lead over Czechia after 2 innings

Indiana has five hits through two at bats but still just a 1-0 lead to show for it. Czechia has been held without a hit thus far. Indiana pitcher Briley Mercer now has four strikeouts.

Indiana takes early 1-0 lead on Czechia

Indiana has jumped out to a 1-0 lead after the first inning in the third elimination game of Day 3 at the Little League Softball World Series. Indiana strung together three hits and a walk to get on the scoreboard in the bottom-half of the inning.

FINAL: Brazil 10, Canada 1

Brazil closes out its 10-1 win over Canada to advance to another elimination game on Wednesday, August 6. Brazil will play the winner of today’s elimination game between Czechia and the Central region representative from Floyds Knobs, Indiana. That matchup is coming up next in Greenville, North Carolina. Canada’s Little League Softball World Series run comes to an end with today’s loss.

Brazil adds to lead in sixth inning

Brazil loaded the bases again in the top of the sixth inning and Dani Fugisaki, Brazil’s pitcher, cleared them with a three-run triple that has turned this competitive elimination game into a blowout. Three-straight hits ignited a five-run inning and Brazil’s lead is 10-1 as Canada gets set for its final at-bat.

Brazil gets a 1-2-3 inning vs. Canada

Brazil is three outs away from its elimination game over Canada after recording a 1-2-3 bottom of the fifth inning. The two teams head to the sixth inning with Brazil still leading 5-1 thanks to three hits, four Canada errors and a few too many walks.

Brazil blows open game vs. Canada

Brazil loaded the bases without the ball ever leaving the infield in the top of the fifth inning and then plated two runs on one play in which a Canada wild pitch turned into an errant throw to third base. Brazil tacked on two more runs during the rally on two infield singles.

Brazil’s lead is now 5-1 with Canada due up in the bottom of the fifth inning. Brazil had been 1 for 10 with runners in scoring position after loading the bases twice before in the game and leaving seven runners on base.

Brazil, Canada go to fifth inning in tight game

Brazil and Canada couldn’t do any damage to one another in the fourth inning. Canada heads to the fifth inning with the 2-1 lead it built in the first inning. Canada is switching pitchers for the second-to-last at bat of the game.

Brazil strikes out the side to close out third inning

Brazil will take a 2-1 lead on Canada into the fourth inning at the Little League Softball World Series after Brazil pitcher Dani Fugisaki struck out all three batters she faced in the bottom of the third inning. There are currently more runs than hits in the game. Canada is sticking with pitcher Arielle Prescott after she found a groove to close the top of the third inning.

Canada pitcher Arielle Prescott escapes trouble

Canada pitcher Arielle Prescott has been dealing with control issues that have also included several illegal pitches called by the home plate umpire. After loading the bases in the top of the first inning, she loaded them again in the top of the third inning. But this time, she successfully escaped the inning without giving up any more runs, dealing out a couple key strikeouts along the way.

It’s 2-1 Brazil as Canada bats in the bottom of the third inning.

Brazil jumps out to early lead on Canada

Canada walked the first three batters in the top of the first inning and Brazil took advantage of a couple miscues in the field to take a 2-0 lead on just one hit. Canada then came back by manufacturing a run in the bottom-half of the inning. It’s 2-1 Brazil as Canada comes to bat in the bottom of the second inning.

Brazil vs. Canada in elimination game underway

Brazil and Canada will attempt to stave off elimination in the second game of Day 3 at the Little League Softball World Series. Canada is represented by a team from Quebec and got the country’s first win at the LLWS in its opening game against Czechia before losing to Japan. Brazil, representing Latin America from Sao Paolo, is 0-1 in Greenville, North Carolina thus far and will bat first.

FINAL: Washington 10, California 0

Washington gets its first win in the Little League Softball World Series since 2018, according to ESPN. Overall, Washington had 10 hits to go along with those 10 runs while California was kept scoreless for the second straight LLSWS game and finished with only one hit and committed four errors. Washington’s Penelope Gahan (4 2/3 innings, one hit, three strikeouts) kept California off the scoreboard along with Camryn Brown (1 1/3 innings, one walk).

Washington tacks on another run

Phoebe Banks’ RBI-ground out, scoring Anna Yoo, increases Washington’s lead to 10-0 after the top of the sixth inning. Last chance for California coming up.

Penelope Gahan’s day in the circle is done

Gahan, who only gave up one hit, to the last batter she faced, California’s Mila McKay, leaves with two outs in the bottom of the fifth inning. Gahan was perfect through four innings. Camryn Brown is the new pitcher for Washington and she gets her first batter to ground out to end the inning. 9-0 Washington after five innings.

Washington squanders a one-out single

Penelope Gahan, who is pitching a gem for Washington, got a one-out single but the Northwest Region champions can’t capitalize on that any more. After the top of the fifth inning it is still a 9-0 Washington lead.

California goes quietly in the fourth inning

A fly out, a strikeout and a ground out made this a short inning for California. Washington leads 9-0 after four innings.

Washington increases lead over California as the Little League run-rule approaches

Washington loaded the bases with no outs and the proceed to inch closer to the 10-run rule, which would end the game early. However, Washington’s Anya Miller got a sacrifice fly to push Washington’s lead to 9-0 and that’s all for the Northwest Region champions. The game will go at least five innings now as Washington leads by a hefty margin after the top of the fourth inning.

A flawless inning, yet again for Washington’s Penelope Gahan

California goes three-up, three-down with a pop up, a fly out and a ground out to end the bottom of the third inning.

Washington playing station-to-station softball

Washington loaded the bases with consecutive walks and then Daphnee Calsyn’s RBI-single pushed the lead to 4-0 and Liliana Delgado gets her second hit of the day, an RBI-single for a 5-0 lead. A fielding error, allowing another run to score, and Camryn Brown’s two-run single turned this into a big inning. 8-0 Washington after top of third inning.

California kept off the scoreboard again

Washington’s Penelope Gahan is cruising. She struck out the first batter for California in the bottom of the second inning and then got back to back ground outs. Still, 3-0, Washington after two innings.

Washington makes some miscues on the bases

Washington’s second inning started off promising with a walk and a single. But some baserunning errors, a 1-5-3-6 double play, and making the last out of the inning at third base doomed this potential rally.

California goes down 1-2-3 in the first inning

Washington’s Penelope Gahan induced three straight ground outs to make it a very quick inning.

Washington takes the early lead on California

Liliana Delgado got the offense started with an RBI-double over the left fielder’s head and then Camryn Brown added a two-run single. After the top of the first inning, Washington leads 3-0.

It’s elimination day at the Little League Softball World Series

First up, it is Washington versus California, with each team trying to extend its stay at the LLSWS in Greenville, North Carolina.

Why Giannis Antetokounmpo trade rumors are just smoke

Sport 2 Mins Read

  • Giannis Antetokounmpo’s future with the Milwaukee Bucks is uncertain, but he has not requested a trade.
  • Recent reports suggest Antetokounmpo is evaluating his options, but this aligns with previous statements.

Maybe the Milwaukee Bucks trade Giannis Antetokounmpo before the 2025-26 season opens.

Maybe they don’t.

The NBA has seen too much – it hasn’t even been six months since the Dallas Mavericks traded Luka Doncic – to predict Antetokounmpo’s future with 100% certainty.

But until Antetokounmpo asks for a trade, the Bucks aren’t exploring a trade. And as now, Antetokounmpo hasn’t asked for a trade.

Otherwise, it’s just static – background noise in the NBA ecosystem’s insatiable need for rumors.

Why is this a topic in doldrums of the NBA’s offseason? ESPN NBA Insider Shams Charania appeared on one of the network’s TV shows Monday, Aug. 4 and said, ‘There is nothing set in stone about whether Giannis Antetokounmpo wants to stay in Milwaukee or whether he wants to leave elsewhere. He’s been evaluating his future his entire offseason. … he’s open-minded about whether his best fit is in Milwaukee or is it a trade elsewhere.’

When the NBA’s preeminent newsbreaker teases a nugget like that – ‘ohhh, maybe there’s another blockbuster trade coming the NBA’ – it gets attention.

But as Charania noted, what he said Monday was almost identical to what he said about Antetokounmpo’s future in May.

Don’t get me wrong, Antetokounmpo’s future is a big deal. He has spent his 12-year career with Milwaukee and has won an NBA championship and two MVPs with the Bucks. Last season, he finished third in MVP voting and was named to the All-NBA first team for the seventh consecutive season.

At 30 years old, Antetokounmpo remains one of the best players in the league with prime years ahead. Naturally, he wants to win another title. He knows that isn’t easy especially in today’s NBA. More and more teams are getting better and improving their title chances. Heck, winning the Eastern Conference’s Central Division is difficult with Indiana, Cleveland, Milwaukee, Detroit and Chicago.

Antetokounmpo should be evaluating his future. In fact, if he weren’t evaluating his future, I’d be concerned. But until he asks for a trade, Milwaukee isn’t trading him. And there’s a real good chance he doesn’t ask for a trade – at least not before the season starts.

WNBA says expansion applicants get first dibs on Sun over Boston

Sport 4 Mins Read

The Connecticut Sun’s reported move to Boston has hit a snag.

News broke Aug. 2 an investment group led by Celtics minority owner Steve Pagliuca reached a deal with the Mohegan Tribe to purchase the Sun for a record $325 million, with plans to relocate the franchise to Boston as soon as 2027. But USA TODAY Sports confirmed Tuesday that Pagliuca’s bid wasn’t presented to the WNBA Board of Governors, who ultimately approves the sale. Front Office Sports first to reported the news.

The WNBA does not distinguish between teams relocating and expansion, according to a person with knowledge of the situation. The league’s Board of Governors, not existing team owners, select the cities the WNBA will operate in. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because they aren’t authorized to speak publicly.

In a statement, the WNBA said ‘no groups from Boston applied for a team’ during the expansion bidding process that took place in Jan. 2025. Teams that weren’t awarded a franchise ‘have priority over Boston.’

In addition to paying $325 million to purchase the Sun, Pagliuca and his group pledged to contribute $100 million for a new practice facility in Boston with plans to have the team play home games at TD Garden, home of the NBA’s Celtics and the NHL’s Boston Bruins, according to the Boston Globe. But Pagliuca released a statement that said ‘approval has not been obtained thus far, and we cannot proceed without it.’

‘Central to our proposal is enabling the Sun to play in larger capacity arenas in New England,’ Pagliuca wrote in his statement shared to social media on Sunday. ‘We believe our record-setting offer and deep commitment to growing the WNBA in the region that is home to the most passionate basketball fans in the nation will significantly benefit the league, the team, and all its fans.’

The Sun have sold out two a regular-season game at TD Garden in consecutive seasons, most recently when the Sun hosted Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever on July 15, highlighting an active fan base in the area. TD Garden has a capacity of 19,000 for basketball games, compared to 10,000 at the Sun’s current home at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Connecticut.

Pagliuca’s group isn’t the only party interested in purchasing the Sun. An investment group led by former Milwaukee Bucks co-owner Marc Lasry reportedly made a bid for the team with plans to keep the Sun in Connecticut with home games to be played at PeoplesBank Arena in Hartford, the Hartford Courtant reported.

Similarly to Boston, the Hartford group didn’t apply for an expansion franchise in the recently completed bidding process and doesn’t have priority, a person with knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports.

The WNBA awarded Cleveland (2028), Detroit (2029) and Philadelphia (2030) expansion teams, bringing the league to 18 teams by 2030, following the additions of the Golden State Valkyries (2025), Toronto Tempo (2026) and Portland Fire (2026).

‘Each location was selected based on an analysis of market viability, committed long-term ownership groups, potential for significant local fan, corporate, media, and city and state support, arena and practice facilities, and community commitment to advancing the sport, among other factors,’ the WNBA said in June.

St Louis, Kansas City, Austin, Jacksonville, Nashville, Houston, Miami, Denver, Charlotte and Milwaukee also submitted bids for an expansion team, according to the Sports Business Journal, and would have priority. The league remains in ‘active conversations’ with cities that applied for a franchise, a person with knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports.

WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert hinted Houston could be the next city to have a WNBA team. Following the league’s expansion announcement in June, Engelbert said the WNBA has ‘our eye on’ Houston because it has ‘such a strong history in this league,’ referencing the Houston Comets franchise (1997–2008).

‘We’ll stay tuned on that,’ Engelbert added.

The Mohegan Tribe purchased the Orlando Miracle for $10 million in 2003 and relocated the team to Connecticut.

The Sun have never won an WNBA championship, but have made four Finals appearances (2004, 2005, 2019, 2022) in franchise history. Connecticut has made the playoffs in eight consecutive seasons, representing the longest active postseason appearance streak in the league, but the Sun will likely miss the playoffs after starting the season 5-22.

How Keenan Allen signing impacts Chargers’ WR depth chart

Sport 3 Mins Read

The Los Angeles Chargers are adding a familiar face to the fold ahead of the 2025 NFL season.

Veteran wide receiver Keenan Allen agreed to a one-year deal with the Chargers on Tuesday, Aug. 5, according to multiple reports.

Allen, 33, spent the first 11 seasons of his career playing for the Chargers and recorded 10,530 receiving yards with them, second-most in franchise history behind Antonio Gates’ 11,841. He was traded to the Chicago Bears ahead of the 2024 campaign before returning to Los Angeles for the upcoming season.

Allen recorded 70 catches for 744 yards and seven touchdowns last season in Chicago, and finished second on the team in targets (121) behind only DJ Moore (140). What can be expected of him in 2025? Here’s a look at how the veteran might fit in on Los Angeles’ wide receiver depth chart.

Chargers WR depth chart

The Chargers released their first unofficial depth chart before news broke that they were signing Allen. It isn’t clear exactly where the veteran fits into the pecking order, but he might battle with second-round rookie Tre’ Harris for a top-three receiver job behind Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston.

Below is a look at where Allen could land within the top-listed receivers on Los Angeles’ depth chart.

  • Ladd McConkey*
  • Quentin Johnston*
  • Keenan Allen
  • Jalen Reagor
  • Derius Davis
  • Tre’ Harris
  • KeAndre Lambert-Smith

The Chargers have a relatively young receiver room to which Allen adds much-needed experience. The only question is whether he will win a top-three receiver job – which would make him likely to play a plurality of the team’s offensive snaps – or whether he will serve as an experienced super-sub off the bench.

Allen’s status may depend on the type of shape he is and how ready some of the Chargers’ young receivers, like Harris and fellow rookie Lambert-Smith, are to make an impact. The second- and fifth-round rookies figure to climb the depth chart as the preseason continues.

Allen’s presence shouldn’t have a major impact on McConkey, who will remain Los Angeles’ No. 1 receiver after generating 82 catches, 1,149 yards and seven touchdowns as a rookie. That said, it will be worth monitoring which of them plays primarily in the slot, as both played a majority of their snaps inside last season (Allen 52.8%, McConkey 63.8%).

It’s also worth noting the Chargers kept seven receivers on its 53-man roster entering the 2025 NFL season, so Los Angeles could keep all seven of the receivers listed above. Brenden Rice might end up being the player most impacted by Allen’s signing, as the 2024 seventh-round pick now faces increased competition for a roster spot.

Other receivers battling for spots within the Chargers organization include Dez Fitzpatrick, Jaylen Johnson, JaQuae Jackson, Luke Grimm and Dalevon Campbell.
