In the first leg of its Champions' League Semi-Final, Manchester City went to Paris and beat Paris-Saint Germain 2-1. City are now trying to defend that lead in the second leg at home. In the first half of the second leg, City took a 1-0 lead -- giving them a 3-1 lead on aggregate. PSG needs at least two goals in the second half to stay afloat.
Manchester City has never reached the Champions' League Final.
Rough weekend for the Vanderbilt Commodores in Gainesville. The Dores had their third weekend series in a row against ranked competition. They pulled out series wins over Tennessee and Mississippi State with gutty Sunday wins. But their bats did not come through this weekend. Vandy beat Florida 11-7 on Friday night, but lost 11-8 and 5-3 over the weekend. Nevertheless, they held onto their number-2 spot in the rankings. Life doesn't get easier for the Dores, as they travel to Louisville on Tuesday for a very difficult matchup with the Cardinals.
Here are the latest SEC standings (conference games only):

Huge series last weekend, with number-2 Vandy hosting number-4 Mississippi State. Behind their ace, Kumar Rocker, Vandy won Friday night 6 to 2. But on Saturday, Mississippi State bounced back with a 7-4 win, setting up the rubber match on Sunday afternoon. Wearing their special Sunday all-American uniforms -- nobody has more uniforms than Vandy -- the Dores pulled out a huge, come-from-behind, 7-4 victory.
