SALT LAKE CITY — Three more highlights from around the world of sports in today's From Left Field.

A full court lacrosse goalie goal

When one goalie switches off, another can take advantage. Or at least, that's what happened when Denver's Jack Kelly fired a buzzer-beating shot against Atlanta's Adam Ghitelman.

It's also a 2-point goal, thanks to the distance. Let this be a lesson to lacrosse goalies everywhere: pay attention!

Simone Biles learns Harlem Globetrotter tricks

OK, so it's probably a bridge too far to say that Biles masters the tricks Hammer Harrison of the Harlem Globetrotters tries to teach her in this video. But it's fun; plus, look at that size difference!

Pitcher dinger

Pitchers aren't typically known for their hitting prowess. But Rockies pitcher Jon Gray hit a baseball 467 feet on Wednesday for an easy home run.

And yeah, I get it, the altitude is high at Coors Field in Denver, so balls fly further. But believe it or not, Gray's home run is the longest by any Colorado Rockie in the 2017 season. It's also the first of his career.
