186 MPH! Factory Billet Raises The Shootout Bar; Likely To Try Again Next Year
After blowing away their goal of 170 mph last year at the Lake of the Ozarks Shootout in Sunrise Beach, Mo., with a 184-mph pass, owner Jim Schultz and the Factory Billet team didn’t have a whole lot to prove coming into the 36th annual event on the popular Midwest waterway, just a state away from the team’s Lake Zurich, Ill., facility. But that didn’t stop them from running two mph faster than they did in 2023 right off the bat this morning on the event’s three-quarter-mile course.

Cardinals' Victor Scott: Adds another steal
Scott went 0-for-3 with a walk, one RBI, a stolen base and one run scored in Friday's 6-1 win over the Twins. Scott wasn't able to build on his three-hit effort from Thursday, but he stole a base for the second game in a row. Speed is his biggest positive, though he's posted a .183 on-base percentage through 115 plate appearances in the majors this year, which is a big reason why he's been limited to four steals. He's been a bit better since his Aug. 4 call-up, slashing .208/.240/.333 over 15 games since he returned to the majors.
