Trout hit his 24th h Antworten

SAN DIEGO -- The NCAA tournament has a new darling after one of the most improbable finishes in the NCAA tournaments long bracket-busting history. Pittsburgh Steelers Jerseys . Got Jacks? Pulling off a comeback for the ages, feisty Stephen F. Austin became the latest No. 12 seed to pull off an upset, tying the game on Desmond Haymons did-that-just-happen four-point play with 3.6 seconds left, and then holding on in overtime for a 77-75 win over Virginia Commonwealth on Friday night. "Well, miracles truly do happen," SFA coach Brad Underwood said. Pretty regularly these days. Its been a wild ride in the NCAA tournament already, a two-day run filled with upsets, buzzer-beaters and millions of crumpled brackets across the country. SFAs victory marked the fifth overtime game during the round of 64, a tournament record. SFA didnt have the biggest upset of the opening two rounds -- Mercer probably gets the nod there with its win over Duke -- but the Lumberjacks certainly had the most jaw-dropping finish. Heres how it went down: The South Regions No. 5 seed, VCU (23-10) was firmly in control after its swarming defence flustered SFA during a big second-half run. The scrappy Lumberjacks (32-2) kept hanging around and clawed their way back in the closing seconds. Two missed free throws by VCUs Jordan Burgess with 10 seconds left gave SFA a chance. The Lumberjacks worked the ball around to the wing, where Haymon launched a 3-pointer and was fouled by JeQuan Lewis just before the ball fell through the basket. "I just tried to get out and contest it," Lewis said. "(I) jumped to the side a little bit and kind of fell into him. The ref called a foul." Haymon still had some work to do, though. The crowd still buzzing, VCU coach Shaka Smart called a timeout, trying to ice Haymon. The senior didnt seem to mind, returning to the court to calmly knock the free throw down. "I was struggling shooting the ball and I knew to get it going, I was going to have to continue to try to find it (his touch)," Haymon said. "I guess I found that groove with the last shot." The tension still wasnt over. Following a missed desperation heave at the end of regulation, Haymon put the Jacks ahead in overtime on a 3-pointer with 2 minutes left. VCUs turn at glory came after SFAs Thomas Walkup made 1 of 2 free throws put the Lumberjacks up 2 with 14 seconds left. The Rams got a good look on the final possession, working the ball around to Lewis for an open 3-pointer on the wing. His shot went long, the Lumberjacks grabbed the rebound, then stormed the floor after improbably extending the nations second-longest winning streak to 29 games. Jacob Parker scored 22 points and Haymon had 17 for SFA, which moves into Sundays third-round game against the Tulsa-UCLA winner. Treveon Graham had 19 points, Burgess 14 and Lewis finished with 13 for the disappointed Rams, the third No. 5 seed to lose this tournament. "Honestly, I thought we had it," Burgess said. "We had them on the ropes, but they came back and made some tough shots and important shots to win the game." Every year, the NCAA tournament has a feel-good team fans lock onto, like Florida Gulf Coast and Dunk City last year. SFA certainly had qualifications to be this years darling: A fun-loving group of players led by a long-haired shooter they call Sunshine, a frenetic style -- at least when it comes to half-court defence -- and the nations second-longest winning streak at 29. But for Lumberjacks to become the latest lovable lower seed, they had to get past VCU, a team that had been-there, done-that with the whole underdog thing. The Rams had a magical run of their own, reaching the 2011 Final Four, and have been consistent winners since, reaching the NCAA tournament four straight years. Oh, yeah, VCU has that defence, too. Its called Havoc and it has created more turnovers and steals than any other team in the country the past two seasons. SFA plays a little D of its own -- more of the half-court variety than the Rams -- so naturally tipped passes, floor burns and scraps for loose balls filled the arena when they met on the court for the first time. The Lumberjacks picked their way through the havoc with pinpoint passing on backdoor cuts and the interior, taking a six-point lead into halftime on Parkers last-second 3-pointer. VCU made the game more chaotic -- Havotic? -- with its pressure to start the second half and started working the ball inside, racing through an 11-0 run to go up 52-43. The Rams stayed in control most of the half, but missed four free throws in the final 32 seconds to give the Lumberjacks a shot at victory. "I like the way we battled the majority of the second half, but we just didnt finish the game," Smart said. "We kind of gave them a glimmer of hope." The Jacks ran with it, earning their spot in NCAA tournament history with one improbable shot. Chukwuma Okorafor Jersey . - Andre Drummond had his best night on the boards. Chukwuma Okorafor Steelers Jersey .com) - James Harden put the Houston Rockets on his back and willed them to an overtime victory on Thursday. http://www.steelersrookiestore.com/Steelers-Morgan-Burnett-Jersey/ . Behind the talents of rookie Johnny Gaudreau, the Flames will look to keep pace Thursday night when they face the Minnesota Wild in the second of a six-game homestand.OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Los Angeles Angels are playing their best baseball of the season, setting career highs and beating first-place opponents. This is one September surge that just came too late. C.J. Wilson pitched seven innings of four-hit ball for his career-best 17th win, and the Angels became the first team in nearly four months to beat Jarrod Parker in a 12-1 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Monday night. "Were just going to try to throw a wrench in the works to keep everybody on the edge of their toes," Wilson said. "Its good television when the season comes down to the last weekend." Kole Calhoun had two of his three RBIs during a five-run fifth inning that chased Parker (11-7), who was 9-0 in 19 starts since a loss at Texas on May 22. It was the longest unbeaten streak by an As starting pitcher since Hall of Famer Lefty Grove went 21 in a row in 1931. Mike Trout and Mark Trumbo each hit a towering, two-run homer in the eighth. Wilson (17-6) struck out six and walked three. He extended his career-best winning streak to nine and is unbeaten in his last 13 starts. Los Angeles has won nine of 12 and 18 of 24. But with two weeks left in the regular season, the Angels are 15 games behind the first-place As in the AL West. "Theres no doubt this year has filled us with a lot of frustration," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "This last month gives us a lot of hope looking forward to some of our kids that are playing well, some of the things weve been looking to take place and be in place during the season." Oakland, coming off a three-game sweep at Texas that stretched its division lead to 6 1/2 games, is still in a strong position to win the AL West for the second consecutive year. The Rangers lost 6-2 at Tampa Bay earlier Monday, keeping the As lead intact. Parker had been a strong and steady force at the top of the rotation since starting 0-4 this season. He was scratched from his start at Texas on Sunday because of an illness that had him vomiting and trying to rehydrate, he said, and he never looked comfortable on the mound back in Oakland. Parker gave up eight hits and eight runs -- seven earned -- in 4 1-3 innings. He struck out three and walked two. The winning streak was the longest by an Oakland pitcher since Dan Haren rolled off 10 inn a row in 2007. Terrell Edmunds Jersey. Grove also made 10 relief appearances -- losing once -- for the Philadelphia Athletics during his 21-start unbeaten streak in 1931. "I can either dwell on it or move on," Parker said. "Early in the game it felt like forever since Ive been out there. It wasnt very good execution. Not very many of my pitches were down in the zone, not even my off-speed stuff." Calhoun and Josh Hamilton hit RBI singles in the first inning off Parker. In the third, second baseman Alberto Callaspo -- traded by the Angels in July -- had Hamiltons liner bounce off his glove and into centre for an error. Fill-in shortstop Andy Parrino bobbled a grounder on a potential double play, getting only the out at second as Howie Kendrick scored and the Angels took a 3-0 lead. Los Angeles sent 10 batters to the plate and scored five runs in the fifth to put the game out of reach. Trout hit his 24th home run and Trumbo his 34th this season off Pedro Figueroa in the eighth. Trouts homer glanced off a luxury box window in centre field. Initial estimates ranged from 420-460 feet by various trackers, though many Angels thought the ball cleared 500 feet. "What is that, yards, meters?" Wilson joked. "It bounced back 420 feet maybe," Scioscia said. Trout said it was the farthest ball hed hit all season. "I really didnt even feel that one off the bat," he said. Derek Norris RBI single in the sixth accounted for Oaklands lone run against Wilson. The lefty hasnt lost since July 5 at Boston. Yoenis Cespedes returned to the As lineup after he was scratched Sunday because of a sore right shoulder. He was 2 for 3 as the designated hitter. Oakland shortstop Jed Lowrie sat out with tightness in his right hamstring. Manager Bob Melvin said Lowrie likely would be back in the lineup Tuesday. NOTES: Calhoun has 23 RBIs in his last 22 games. ... As reliever Dan Otero missed the game after his wife, Tiffany, gave birth to daughter Kinsley Lynn Otero at 2:54 a.m. on Monday. ... Sonny Gray was set to start if Parker needed another day to rest. Instead, Gray (3-3, 2.63 ERA) will start Tuesday and A.J. Griffin (14-9, 3.81) will go Wednesday. RHP Garrett Richards (7-6, 3.91) will start for the Angels on Tuesday and lefty Jason Vargas (8-7, 4.20) on Wednesday.
