Good morning. Here’s the latest from around the lacrosse world:
1. Three delays for weather marred the Denver Outlaws traditional Fourth of July game, but the Outlaws provided the fireworks on the field, scoring the final five goals of the game to rally past Chesapeake 14-13 in a game that ended after 11 p.m. local time. Zach Currier scored four goals for Denver and Max Adler won 23 of 31 faceoffs. Lyle Thompson scored five for the Bayhawks, but Dillon Ward stopped him with this sensational save.
