Detroit City FC got an early break Saturday night, capitalized on it and made it stand up for a crucial 1-0 victory over New Mexico United in a United Soccer League Championship match at Hamtramck.

Maxi Rodriguez scored on a penalty kick in the 20th minute and DCFC kept its hold on fourth place in the Eastern Conference, which was threatened by a 3-1 victory for Indy Eleven over El Paso Locomotive FC.

The pivotal moment in the match came in the 19th minute, when Laurent Kissiedou broke down the left side and attempted a crossing pass, which struck the right hand of Anthony Herbert.

Rodriguez converted the penalty with a boot to the lower left corner, and the lead held for the rest of the match.

Detroit keeper Carlos Saldaña parried away New Mexico’s best chance of the first half with a diving stop of a shot by Zico Bailey in injury time.

Ben Morris nearly doubled the DCFC lead in the 64th minute when a took a breakout pass and broke in on keeper Alex Tambakis, who made an impressive save to keep the lead a goal.

Saldaña came up big again in the 68th, when he stopped a point-blank shot off the toe of Marlon Vargas.

The best chance the rest of the way came when Stephen Carroll’s shot was toe-saved by Tambakis in the 6th minute of injury time. New Mexico had one last chance to level it three minutes later with a corner kick but with DCFC players packed into the goal crease it could not get a dangerous shot off.

DCFC’s lead over Indy is two points for fourth place and the final home playoff game in the first round, with Indy holding one game in hand. The Tampa Bay Rowdies are four points ahead of Detroit (11-8-9) in third place.

New Mexico is 16-8-3, in first place in the Western Conference.

DCFC will remain at home for next weekend’s match, this one a Sunday afternoon fixture against Louisville City FC. Kickoff is at 3 p.m.

Game one of the series between the Brewers and Diamondbacks went about the opposite way it was expected to go. The Brewers’ pitchers held the Diamondbacks to just one run, while their pitchers mostly kept the Brewers in check. The Brewers got two runs across and that was enough for the win.

Tonight, the Brewers have Tobias Myers on the mound. He’s coming off of an 11-strikeout performance against the Rockies, where he allowed just one run. He’ll face Brandon Pfaadt of the Diamondbacks, who has allowed at least three runs and eight hits in each of his last five starts. Pfaadt is also a high-strikeout and low-walk pitcher.

Brice Turang is back in the leadoff spot for tonight’s game, with Jackson Chourio moving to second in the lineup and Garrett Mitchell moving to fourth and playing DH. Jake Bauers is in the lineup and playing first base tonight, and Blake Perkins will patrol center field.

For the scoreboard watchers tonight, here are the matchups of importance. The Phillies already won over the Mets today. The Dodgers and Braves have just started in Atlanta, and the Cubs are playing the Rockies at the same time as the Brewers tonight.

Here are the full lineups. First pitch is set for 7:10 p.m. on Bally Sports Wisconsin and the Brewers Radio Network.

MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) – A 22-year-old woman has been arrested following a deadly hit-and-run crash early Saturday morning in downtown Minneapolis. The incident, which occurred near 5th Street North and Hennepin Avenue, left one teenager dead and several others injured.

Neighbors near 5th Street North and Hennepin Avenue have a variety of reactions after waking up to the tragic news Saturday morning. 

“There’s the saying that nothing good happens after midnight in the core of most downtowns, and it’s just good common sense,” said Daniel Stensgeanrd of Daniel’s Custom Clothing, a tailor at the intersection of the incident. 

According to police, the suspect was involved in a fight before getting into a vehicle, reversing and driving the wrong way down 5th Street, striking a crowd of people near the sidewalk. 

“It’s shocking that something like that could happen overnight when we live in this neighborhood, we work in the neighborhood, and it’s a tragedy to know that someone lost their life right here just last night,” said Alysha Haugen. 

After fleeing the scene, the suspect was later arrested on Bryant Avenue North and was booked into the Hennepin County Jail. 

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara says the situation could have been deadlier, noting that multiple videos from the scene showed at least a dozen people in the path of the car. He also mentioned that one woman had already been seriously injured before the hit-and-run occurred.

“The video of the incident is absolutely horrific,” O’Hara said in a press conference. “There aren’t words to describe how tragic and senseless it is to lose a 16-year-old female over something like this.”
