K-State blows 18-point halftime lead, loses to No. 2 TCU

Posted on October 10, 2015October 10, 2015

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Trevone Boykin threw for 301 yards and two touchdowns, the second a 55-yard strike to Josh Doctson with 1:10 left in the game, and second-ranked TCU rallied from a big halftime deficit to beat Kansas State 52-45 on Saturday night.

Boykin also ran for 124 yards and two scores for the Horned Frogs (6-0, 3-0 Big 12), who trailed 35-17 at the break. Aaron Green added 124 yards and two touchdowns rushing, while Doctson caught eight passes for 155 yards and two touchdowns.

None was bigger than his catch-and-run just 30 seconds after Jack Cantele had connected on a 37-yard field goal for Kansas State (3-2, 0-2) to knot the game 45-all.

The Wildcats had won 49 straight games when leading at halftime before last week’s loss at Oklahoma State. Now, coach Bill Snyder’s crew has lost two in a row.

Cardinals give up five-run second to Cubs, lose game two of NLDS

Posted on October 10, 2015October 10, 2015

ST. LOUIS (AP) — For one inning, Jorge Soler and all those Chicago Cubs rookies looked like playoff-tested veterans, and the St. Louis Cardinals appeared shaken.

That’s all it took.

Kyle Hendricks and Addison Russell had successful squeeze bunts, and Soler capped a five-run second with a two-run homer off Jaime Garcia, and the Cubs held off the Cardinals 6-3 on Saturday night to even their NL Division Series at a game apiece.

“Listen, I can’t be more proud of our guys,” manager Joe Maddon said. “When you win a wild-card game like we did, I promise you, you settle in. We didn’t win yesterday but we were not overwhelmed by anything.”

Maddon made all the right moves a night after the Cubs lost the opener 4-0. Now the teams shift to Wrigley Field for Game 3 Monday, the first playoff game at the friendly confines since 2008, where Chicago’s 22-game winner, Jake Arrieta, faces St. Louis’ Michael Wacha in the best-of-five series.

“Getting back there 1-1 with our big dog on the mound, the atmosphere is going to be good,” Anthony Rizzo said.

The usually steady NL Central champion Cardinals made two errors, and the Cubs didn’t hit the ball out of the infield in scoring their first three runs in the second.

“It is hard to watch a club that’s played so well defensively, see a couple things happen that are kind of uncharacteristic for us,” manager Mike Matheny said.

Making his first postseason start, Soler homered off Garcia (0-1), who was lifted because of a stomach ailment after the second. The Cubs have been working Soler back into the mix after he returned from a left oblique strain in mid-September.

“All I was trying to do was help the team win,” Soler said through a translator. “He got a ball up where I could hit it hard.”

Garcia told the team he felt a bit ill about an hour before the game but thought he’d be fine.

“I was going to pitch, it was my game,” Garcia said. “I worked so hard all year for this situation, and unfortunately, it didn’t go my way, but no excuse.”

Dexter Fowler, Soler and Starlin Castro each had two of Chicago’s six hits in a game played in front of a lively crowd of 47,859, a postseason record at 10-year-old Busch Stadium, that included thousands of Cubs fans.

Soler also doubled and walked twice in the Cubs’ first non-wild card postseason victory since 2003. Chicago had lost seven straight Division Series games.

The Cardinals homered three times, including a leadoff homer by Matt Carpenter. Consecutive shots by Kolten Wong and pinch hitter Randal Grichuk with two outs in the fifth chased Hendricks one out shy of qualifying for the victory in his postseason debut.

Travis Wood (1-0) allowed one hit with two strikeouts in 2⅓ scoreless innings for the victory. Hector Rondon, briefly stuck in the bullpen bathroom during Game 1, earned his first career postseason save.

“That’s really funny for me right now,” Rondon said with a laugh.

Though none of the runs were earned in the second, Garcia’s first postseason start since 2012 was a disaster.

The Cubs capitalized when Garcia blew a play on a safety squeeze by Hendricks. Garcia hesitated instead of throwing home with a very good chance of cutting down the run, then made a wild, flat-footed throw to first for an error.

“I didn’t even see it,” Hendricks said. “I put my head down and started running.”

Russell, the next batter, squeezed in another run, and Fowler had an RBI infield hit before Soler drove a high 2-2 pitch over the center-field wall.

“Everything has to be set up properly for that,” Maddon said. “It just was.”

The inning was also aided by an ill-advised, off-target relay to first for a throwing error by second baseman Wong trying for a double play.

Lance Lynn, the presumptive Game 4 starter, replaced Garcia in the third as the first in a parade of relievers. Matheny said there are “options” for Game 4, with Lynn or lefty Tyler Lyons as possibilities.

Two-time 20-game winner Adam Wainwright, coming off a torn left Achilles in late April, fanned three in 1⅔ scoreless innings, his fourth appearance since being injured and first of more than an inning.

Hendricks allowed three homers in 4⅔ innings. He had 17 no-decisions in the regular season, most in the majors.

SERIOUS SLUMP

Kris Bryant went 0-for-4, with three groundouts and a strikeout. He is 3-for-34 with no RBIs in his past nine games.

BIG PITCH

Ted Simmons, inducted into the Cardinals Hall of Fame earlier this year, threw out the ceremonial first pitch. Simmons had been a senior adviser to the Mariners’ general manager but said he’d been let go.

TRAINER’S ROOM

Cardinals: The outing was Garcia’s shortest of the year. He had a pair of four-inning starts the final month, one of them against the Cubs.

NOTABLE

Wong’s past nine postseason hits have gone for extra bases, matching the major-league-record shared by Miguel Cabrera and Jayson Werth. … Grichuk’s homer gave the Cardinals two homers in three pinch-hit at-bats this series.

UP NEXT

Wacha (17-7, 3.38) was St. Louis’ top winner with 17, but he struggled the final month, going 2-3 with a 7.88 ERA. “I think his highs far outweigh his lows,” Wainwright said. Arrieta (22-6, 1.77) is the Cubs’ biggest winner since Hall of Famer Ferguson Jenkins was 24-13 in 1971. He tossed a shutout in the wild-card game.

Kansas gets drilled by No. 3 Baylor 66-7

Posted on October 10, 2015October 10, 2015

LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Seth Russell wanted to keep playing. So did Corey Coleman and Shock Linwood.

Baylor coach Art Briles is certain they’ll see more of the field in the coming weeks.

Russell tossed three touchdown passes, two of them to Coleman, and Linwood ran for 135 yards and a score as third-ranked Baylor romped to 66-7 victory over Kansas on Saturday.

All three stars sat the entire second half, resting for what Baylor (5-0, 2-0 Big 12) hopes is a national title push. They’ve blown out every opponent so far, but still have a tough road ahead, including Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and TCU in consecutive weeks to finish the regular season.

“I feel like we have one of the freshest football teams in America at this point,” Briles said. “They’re going to like playing full games here in a few weeks.”

Russell threw for 246 yards in his two quarters. Two of his TD strikes went to Coleman, pushing his nation-leading total to 13, and the other went to 6-foot-7, 410-pound tight end LaQuan McGowan as the Bears roared to a 52-7 halftime lead.

It was the seventh straight Big 12 win for Baylor, and one that was hardly unexpected: The Jayhawks (0-5, 0-2) were 46-point underdogs, a record for a visiting team in Big 12 play.

Turns out the odds-makers were being kind.

“You definitely want to play the whole game, but it’s great for our young guys. They got a lot of experience,” Russell said. “Experience is valuable, especially at this stage, this level.”

Kansas freshman Ryan Willis got a bit of it. He threw for 158 yards and a score in his first start, but he also tossed a pick and lost a fumble that was returned for a touchdown.

The Jayhawks’ top two quarterbacks, Montell Cozart and Deondre Ford, are both hurt. So were their top two wide receivers, Bobby Hartzog Jr. and Tre Parmalee. Brandon Stewart, their best cover cornerback, left with a groin injury early in the game.

Not exactly the way to face one of the nation’s most dynamic teams.

The Bears piled up 644 yards, a total that could have been even larger had the backups not played the second half. Second-string quarterback Jarrett Stidham was 9 of 10 for 217 yards and two touchdowns, while Johnny Jefferson ran for 79 yards and another score.

Baylor didn’t have to punt until there was 5 minutes left in the game.

“You’ve got to stop those guys when you get the chance,” Kansas coach David Beaty said.

With fall break going on at Kansas, and Late Night at the Phog having kept Jayhawks basketball fans up Friday night, there were more empty seats than full ones Saturday.

That might have been a good thing.

There weren’t many people around to see the rout.

The quick-strike Bears scored on every possession of the first half except their last, and that was only because they ran out of time. Their first three touchdown drives all went more than 70 yards, yet none of their scoring drives required more than 3 minutes, 14 seconds.

Russell was 18-of-27 passing and ran for a score. Linwood, the nation’s fifth-leading rusher, averaged more than 10 yards per carry. Coleman had seven receptions for 108 yards.

Even the Baylor defense got into the act, stripping Willis late in the first half. Xavien Howard picked up the fumble and scampered down the Kansas sideline 30 yards for a touchdown.

“When you have guys that are old, which we have a lot of those guys — fourth- and fifth-year guys at critical positions — when those guys are sharp and mentally right and focused and are ready to compete at a high level, you’re going to be all right,” Briles said.

The only bright spot for Kansas came on its opening series. Willis converted a long third down with a pretty pass to Jeremiah Booker then hit Steven Sims with a 36-yard touchdown pass.

“You don’t like to lose,” Jayhawks tight end Kent Taylor said. “I don’t know if it’s possible to completely block (the score) out in your head. You have to keep making strides, no matter what the score is.”

Northwest volleyball gets swept by No. 11 Central Missouri

Posted on October 10, 2015October 10, 2015

MARYVILLE, Mo. – October 16 at Washburn will be the most important match so far this season for the Northwest Missouri State volleyball team.

After seven straight home matches, the Bearcats head on the road for four matches with their confidence shaken just a little. Northwest lost for the third time in four matches Saturday evening when it fell 25-16, 25-19, 25-19 to No. 11 ranked Central Missouri at Bearcat Arena.

It doesn’t get any easier for the Bearcats. Northwest, 11-6 overall and 4-3 in the MIAA, will take on a Washburn team that is 17-2, 5-2 and ranked No. 12 in NCAA Division II.

“It is very important because we have had a lot of home games in a row and now we are basically going to be road warriors and we will have to hold our own,” said sophomore Alexis Williams who led Northwest with 10 kills. We will try to take someone else’s home away from them.”

Another way to look at the upcoming match is it is a great opportunity for Northwest to prove to Washburn and the rest of the MIAA that it belongs in the conversation of being one of the better teams in conference.

“We need it,” Woerth said. “We are going to find out what we are made of and that’s when you grow the most. I don’t coach to play teams we know we can beat 25-8. I coach to play teams like this because that is going to make us better.

“It is all part of the process. You gain most of your lessons when you lose, not when you win. Responding next week is going to be really important.”

With their backs against the wall in the third set against Central, the Bearcats demonstrated enough ability and fire to stay with the Jennies most of the set. It was tied 12-12 before Central slowly stretched its lead to 18-14 and then 21-15.

“When we are down, we have to know we can push forward and to keep the ball alive and try to win,” Williams said.

Northwest started the match pumped up. Junior Jackie Becker got it started with a kill for the first point. The Bearcats scored the first two points and appeared ready to take down Central.

Five straight points by the Jennies turned a 3-2 deficit into a 7-3 lead. Northwest got back on track and pulled to within one at 9-8 and 10-9. Central, though, took control by scoring 10 of the next 11 points for a 20-10. The Bearcats never threatened again in the opening set.

Once again, Northwest scored the first point to start a set on a kill by sophomore Alexis Williams. Central scored the next four, forcing Northwest to play from behind the rest of the set.

“I don’t want to take anything away from them because they continue to put pressure on you,” Woerth said. “What can we take away from it? We have to step up to pressure.

“They are always known to have great serve to receive. The side out at a high percentage and they don’t make a lot hitting errors. Our players needed to step up and rise to the occasion.”

Nebraska blows another 4th quarter lead in loss to Wisconsin

Posted on October 10, 2015October 10, 2015

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A little over a minute after he thought he had blown the game for Wisconsin, Rafael Gaglianone won it.

Gaglianone made a 46-yard field goal with four seconds left after he missed from 39, giving Wisconsin a 23-21 victory over Nebraska on Saturday and sending the Cornhuskers to another crushing defeat.

“Biting your nails, that was crazy,” Gaglianone said of the game’s last few minutes. “So unbelievable. I’m thankful for my teammates giving me that second chance.”

The Huskers had taken the lead with 3:38 to play, but for the second straight week they failed to put away their opponent and now have lost four games by a total of 11 points. All four losses have come on the opponent’s final offensive play.

“I’d have to look back a ways, but I don’t think I’ve really seen this before,” first-year Nebraska coach Mike Riley said. “But we are in it. When you have games like we’ve had, you’ll look at many different circumstances on how, playing or coaching, you could make a difference.”

Fullback Andy Janovich broke a 55-yard touchdown run to put Nebraska (2-4, 0-2 Big Ten) up 21-20. After the Badgers drove from their 9 to the Nebraska 21, Gaglianone’s field-goal try hit the right upright and bounced away.

“That was devastating, not just for me missing that opportunity but just knowing how hard my teammates have worked putting that drive together,” Gaglianone said. “Me missing just felt like I really let my teammates down. It was just crazy. They were just like, `We’ve still got a chance, don’t give up.’ ”

The Huskers got the ball with 1:26 left, and they ran three straight times. Riley said he never considered passing, wanting to force the Badgers to use all three of their timeouts. Wisconsin (4-2, 1-1) started its last drive at its 30 with 1:03 left, and Joel Stave completed three passes for 42 yards to set up Gaglianone for another attempt.

“Going to back to that same spot, I thought I’m going to swing a little different, a little more to the left. It worked out great,” Gaglianone said.

Stave said he had a feeling Gaglianone, who was 3 for 5 on field goals against the Huskers, would come through.

“It’s like a golfer; they hit their putt once and if they miss it, they’re going to make it the second time,” Stave said. “They’ve got the line, they’ve got the read.”

It was the first time Wisconsin made a game-winning kick in the final minute of regulation since Matt Davenport’s 48-yarder with six seconds left beat Northwestern 26-25 in 1997.

Dare Ogunbowale rushed for 117 yards for Wisconsin, most coming after starting running back Taiwan Deal went out with an injury to his left ankle in the first quarter. Stave was 25 of 50 for 322 yards and a touchdown in only the fourth game in program history that the Badgers attempted 50 or more passes.

The Badgers played a turnover-free game a week after Stave committed four in a 10-6 loss to Iowa. The Huskers were coming off a 14-13 loss at Illinois.

Tommy Armstrong Jr. completed 11 of 28 passes for 129 yards and a TD and ran eight times for 50 for the Huskers, who are off to their worst start since 1959. Janovich and Terrell Newby each rushed for 59 yards.

“We’ve got to stick in this together,” Armstrong said. “We said from day one that you’ve got to expect the unexpected, and we really didn’t think that we would have a season like this. It’s heartbreaking to look at it this way. We have to stick together and drive on to next week.”

Missouri Western volleyball upsets No. 11 Central Missouri

Posted on October 10, 2015

WARRENSBURG, Mo. – The Missouri Western volleyball team snapped a 19-game losing streak to Central Missouri Friday night with a 3-2 over the 11th ranked Jennies. It was the first time since 2005 that Missouri Western has defeated UCM.

MWSU jumped out to an early 2-0 lead in Warrensburg, winning set one 25-22 and set two 25-19. UCM responded in impressive fashion, taking set three 25-14 then claiming set four 25-23. Missouri Western was never really challenged in the fifth, leading from the start and winning 15-8 to hand Central Missouri its second MIAA loss of the season and third loss overall.

The Griffons were led by Jessie Thorup’s 21 kills and 21.5 points. Thorup hit .213 for the match, outdueling UCM’s top-hitter, Carly Sojka (20, .194). Thorup added 17 digs and a block assist. Lindsey Partridge matched her career high for kills in a second straight match with 11. Partridge hit .318 for the match. Blair Russell continued the trend with her career-high 11 kills and .367 hitting percentage. Not to be outdone, Kayla Ruff finished with a new career high, 29 digs. Jordan Chohon had 50 assists and 16 digs, tying a career-high digs in match number.

Missouri Western held Central Missouri well below its season average as the Jennies hit .195 while Missouri Western hit .216. The Jennies had 25 attack errors to the Griffons’ 22. The win improved MWSU to 13-4 overall and 5-1 in MIAA play. The win also gave Missouri Western sole possession of second place in the MIAA, one game behind Central Oklahoma. MWSU hosts Lindenwood Saturday night in the MWSU Fieldhouse at 6 p.m. Lindenwood lost 3-0 at Northwest Missouri State, Friday night.

Royals rally to beat Astros and even ALDS

Posted on October 10, 2015

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Royals whipped out the same formula that carried them to last year’s World Series to turn back the Houston Astros and tie their American League Division Series at a game apiece.

Some clutch hitting. Stingy defense. An unflappable bullpen.

Even a little help from replay.

“Just battling,” first baseman Eric Hosmer said. “That’s what this team does so well.”

Kansas City rallied from a three-run deficit Friday, getting a go-ahead single from Ben Zobrist in the seventh inning, and then watched Wade Davis and the bullpen make it stand in a 5-4 victory that brought back memories of the team’s nip-and-tuck postseason of a year ago.

The Royals knotted the game at four off Scott Kazmir and relievers Oliver Perez and Josh Fields in the sixth. They took the lead in the seventh when Alcides Escobar led off with a triple against Will Harris (0-1) and Zobrist followed with his single through the left side.

Kelvin Herrera (1-0) and Ryan Madson each tossed a scoreless inning for the Royals, and Davis came on to close it — though the real drama was only beginning.

Davis walked Preston Tucker with one out, and speedy Carlos Gomez came in as a pinch runner. Davis snapped a throw to Hosmer at first, and he neatly snagged it on one hop as Gomez made a dive back to the bag. Gomez was initially ruled safe, but the call was overturned upon review.

“That play that Hos made on the pickoff, I don’t know if there’s a lot of first basemen that can make that play,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “It was tremendous.”

Jose Altuve grounded out to end the contest.

It was a crucial victory considering what awaits Kansas City in Game 3 on Sunday: Astros ace Dallas Keuchel, who was 15-0 at home this season. Edinson Volquez will start for the Royals.

“We were in position to win that game. Their bullpen did a very good job of shutting us down,” Astros manager A.J. Hinch said. “We’ve got some work to do to win this series. It’s going to be a good series. These are two really good teams.”

Two starters acquired with October in mind, Kazmir and Royals counterpart Johnny Cueto, pitched mostly to a stalemate Friday. Kansas City’s relief corps was simply better, preserving the first win by a home team this postseason.

“They compete,” said Salvador Perez, who homered for the Royals. “Pretty good stuff.”

Colby Rasmus homered, doubled and drove in two runs for Houston, becoming the first player in major league history with an extra-base hit in his first six postseason games. George Springer had a pair of RBIs after hitting a solo shot in the series opener.

“Just to let it slip away late is kind of a downer,” Astros reliever Tony Sipp said. “We had a lead late and let it slip away. We had the momentum going.”

The Astros jumped on Cueto right from the start, just as they did Yordano Ventura in Game 1 on Thursday night. Rasmus doubled in a run in the first inning, and Springer added a two-run knock in the second as restless Royals fans began to shower their ace with boos.

Perez got one back for Kansas City with his homer to left in the bottom half, but Rasmus matched him with his third home run in three games this postseason.

Cueto finally settled in, but it looked as if it would be too late. Kazmir allowed a run in the third but otherwise had Kansas City off balance until the sixth inning.

Trailing 4-2, Lorenzo Cain got the Royals’ tying rally started with a double, and Hinch called for Oliver Perez. He allowed back-to-back singles and a walk to leave the bases loaded for Fields, who walked Salvador Perez on four pitches to tie the game.

When the Royals took the lead the following inning, their shutdown bullpen made it stick.

“I’m happy we’re going home,” Hinch said. “We’ve got home-field advantage for the rest of this series. We have to take care of business in our own yard.”

CORREA HOBBLED

Astros rookie Carlos Correa fouled a pitched off the inside of the back of his knee in the fifth inning, and for a while it appeared as if he might leave the game. He remained in and struck out but came back with a single off Herrera in the seventh.

UP NEXT

Keuchel threw six shutout innings in the Astros’ wild-card win over the Yankees and tossed eight shutout frames against the Royals in June. Volquez tossed two scoreless innings of relief in Kansas City’s regular-season finale in Minnesota to tune up for the playoffs.
