Summary
In 2002, Senegal upset France 1-0 in the opening game of the 2002 World Cup. In 1999, San Antonio's Sean Elliott hit his 6th 3-pointer to give the Spurs the win over Portland in game 2 of the WCF. In 1927, Detroit's first baseman Johnny Neun recorded an unassisted triple play against Cleveland. It was the second day that an unassisted triple play had been recorded in MLB. There wasn't another one for 40 years. In 2013, Australian golfer Andrew Dodt became the first player on the European golf tour to drop two aces during the same competitive round.
