Manager Manny Acta said third baseman Jack Hannahan, recovering from a strained left calf, would probably need four or five games in the minors before returning to the Indians.

ST. LOUIS, Mo. -- Manager Manny Acta said Sunday that third baseman Jack Hannahan could start a rehabilitation assignment sometime this week.

Hannahan went on the disabled list on May 28 with a strained left calf. The injury happened while Hannahan was trying to come back from a sore lower back that sidelined him longer than anticipated.

Acta said Hannahan was scheduled to go through a series of physical tests on Sunday at Progressive Field. If he came through those drills, the next step will be playing games in the minors.

"He'll probably have to play four or five games," said Acta.

Hannahan, the Indians opening day third baseman, is hitting .276 (29-for-105) with six doubles, three homers and 18 RBI. In his absence, Jose Lopez and Lonnie Chisenhall have been sharing time at third.

It has been a while since Hannahan has played. He injured his back on May 13 against Boston and has played one game since.

Lopez made his 18th start at third base Sunday. Chisenhall has started seven games since his recall from Class AAA Columbus on May 28.

Chisenhall is hitting .212 (7-for-33) with two homers and three RBI. Lopez, who started the year with the Tribe, but was designated for assignment on Ma 1, is hitting

Acta wasn't sure what minor league team Hannahan would do his rehab with.

Today's lineup:

Indians (31-27): RF Shin-Soo Choo (L), SS Asdrubal Cabrera (S), 2B Jason Kipnis (L),   1B Carlos Santana (S), CF Michael Brantley (L), 3B Jose Lopez (R), LF Shelley Duncan, C Lou Marson (R), RHP Ubaldo Jimenez (6-4, 5.31)

Indians vs. Kelly: This is the Tribe's first look at Kelly. Former Tribe pitcher Scott Bailes, filling in for Tom Hamilton on the WKNR broadcasts this weekend, broadcasts games for the St. Louis' Class AA team in Springfield, Mo.

"Kelly pitched there last year," said Bailes. "He's got a good fastball. He's very competitive."

Cardinals vs. Jimenez: Craig is hitting .500 (3-for-6) and Furcal is hitting .250 (6-for-24).

A gunman opened fire during a fight at a party at an apartment complex near Auburn University, killing three people, including two former school football players, authorities said Sunday. Three other people were injured, with one in critical condition with a gunshot wound to the head.

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — A gunman opened fire during a fight at a party at an apartment complex near Auburn University, killing three people, including two former school football players, authorities said Sunday. Three other people were injured, with one in critical condition with a gunshot wound to the head.

Auburn Police Chief Tommy Dawson said during a news conference that current football player Eric Mack was among those wounded and was being treated at a hospital. Authorities were searching for the accused shooter, who had been charged with capital murder.

Slain were Edward Christian, who had not been playing because of a back injury, and Ladarious Phillips, who had previously quit playing football. The other person killed was 20-year-old Demario Pitts.

Officials also said Xavier Moss and John Robertson were wounded. Robertson had been shot in the head and was in critical condition; Moss was released from the hospital.

"The only connection that the Auburn football team has to this is they are victims of a brutal shooting. Sometimes the young men get a bad rap, I feel like, but they are the victims today," Dawson said.

Police say Desmonte Leonard has been charged with capital murder and has not yet been captured. Dawson urged Leonard to turn himself in and also said authorities were searching for two other persons of interest.

Dawson stressed that the football team was connected to the shooting only because current and former players were victims.

"Them being football players really has nothing to do with this. They're victims of a shooting," Dawson said.

Turquorius Vines, 23, said he was at the pool party Saturday evening at the University Heights apartments with one of his friend, Pitts. He said he and his friend were approached by two other men who started arguing with them over a woman.

Vines said he punched one of the men, while Pitts hit both of the men over the head with a bottle. Either one or both of the two men then started shooting, he said. He said his friend was shot and killed, while two others also were hit by gunfire. Vines said he had never before seen the men who he had been arguing with.

"It's like I lost a lung," Vines said of his friend. "I don't know how I'm going to survive this."

Several emergency vehicles had converged overnight around the University Heights apartment complex where reports indicated a number of students who attend Auburn University typically reside. The building was swathed in yellow police tape.

It appeared that the shooting happened in an archway near the apartment complex information center, near the edge of the parking lot. Five uniformed officers guarded the area, which was sealed off with crime scene tape, and a handful of crime scene investigators were at work.

Mack, the wounded player, is a junior offensive lineman from St. Matthews, S.C. He played in five games last season. Coach Gene Chizik said Mack was expected to make a full recovery.

Christian is an offensive lineman who was out last season while dealing with a back injury. Phillips was a backup fullback. Chizik said in April that Phillips had decided to give up football.

Ubaldo Jimenez pitches seven strong innings, Vinnie Pestano pitches out of a bases-loaded jam in the eighth and Jason Kipnis delivers the dagger as the Indians beat St. Louis in the ninth inning.

Ubaldo Jimenez turned in his best start of the season. Vinnie Pestano pitched out of a bases-loaded jam in the eighth inning. Jason Kipnis hit a game-winning homer off a 97-mph fastball in the ninth inning and closer Chris Perez anointed the Indians' 4-1 victory over the Cardinals as only he can.

First Perez earned his MLB-leading 20th straight save. Then he knelt down and vomited, just as he did two springs ago in Goodyear, Ariz. In fact, Sunday's save may have been one long regurgitation.

Perez threw up before he entered the game, during the save and afterward. How's that for entertainment?

"I drank some warm water before I came into the game and it didn't sit well," said Perez.

Added manager Manny Acta, "That's all right as long as he gets the save."

No wonder these guys are 16-11 on the road. There hasn't been a road act like this since Atilla the Hun led the Mongol hordes out of Asia.

Jimenez allowed one run on five hits in seven innings. He struck out a season-high seven and didn't issue a walk for the first time in 12 starts this year. That's saying something for a guy who started the game ranked third in the American League with 43 walks.

"No bleeping walks. Write it," said pitching coach Scott Radinksy, who has worked hard with Jimenez to solve his mechanical flaws.

Jimenez threw 102 pitches, 67 for strikes.

"I think this is my best start as an Indian since the trade," said Jimenez.

Jimenez was on the bench when Kipnis hit Jason Motte's 2-2 fastball into the right-field seats to break a 1-1 tie.

"It was just a great team win," said Jimenez.

Johnny Damon started the ninth with a pinch-hit single off Motte (3-3). After Shin-Soo Choo struck out, Asdrubal Cabrera walked to bring Kipnis to the plate.

"When a guy throws as hard as he does, you just shorten your swing and let him supply the power," said Kipnis.

Kipnis wasn't trying to dink a single into short left field.

"When he comes inside like he did, you just react with your hands and hope the barrel of the bat finds the ball," said Kipnis.

Kipnis, who went 3-for-4, is hitting .285 (68-for-239) with 43 runs, six doubles, three triples and a team-high 10 homers and 39 RBI.

"This kid is not afraid of anything," said Acta. "He's not intimidated."

The Indians faced right-hander Joe Kelly, making his big-league debut, and could manage just one run against him. Kelly struck out four and walked one in five innings.

But it didn't matter because Jimenez neutralized the Cardinals. He gave up a 428-foot homer to Carlos Beltran in the first inning and that was it.

The Indians tied the game on Carlos Santana's sacrifice fly in the third. Choo opened the inning with a ground-rule double to left and went to third on Cabrera's grounder to first. After Kipnis worked Kelly for a walk, Santana delivered Choo on a fly ball to left.

Michael Brantley's leadoff single in the sixth ended Kelly's fine debut. The hit extended Brantley's hitting streak to a big-league high 18 games. Brantley lined out to third and left field in his first two at-bats before bouncing a single through the right side.

The Cardinals missed a great chance to win it when Pestano (3-0) relieved Jimenez and walked the bases loaded in the eighth. Pestano, with one out, walked Tyler Greene, Rafael Furcal and Beltran in succession. The only Cardinal he was trying to pitch around was Beltran.

Pestano came back to end the inning with strikeouts of Yadier Molina and Allen Craig, both right-handed hitters. It's the second time in Pestano's career he's walked three batters in an inning and each time he escaped without a run scoring. He walked the tightrope for the first time on May 10 against Boston.

"I felt comfortable with the two right-handers coming up after pitching around Beltran," said Pestano. "I don't get scared pitching with the bases loaded."

The Indians' interleague visit to St. Louis has done wonders for their rotation. Josh Tomlin, Justin Masterson and Jimenez each pitched seven innings, allowing two or fewer runs. They combined for a 1.71 ERA (four earned runs in 21 innings).

They walked one, struck out 14 and allowed 18 hits. Unfortunately, they only went 1-1 in the won-loss column.

No other "sport'' welcomes the publicity that comes with accusations that the results of a major event are not on the up-and-up.

View full sizeJulie Jacobson, Associated PressAs the bout between Manny Pacquiao, left, and Timothy Bradley, right, showed, what happens in the ring sometimes appears to have no bearing on the outcome of the fight.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Whoa, hold on just a minute. What's this?

Get out the vapors and a soft chair to fall into in case of a fainting spell.

They're saying boxing is corrupt?

The sport of Bob Arum and Don King?

Sunday's Yahoo! Sports headline put it this way: "Timothy Bradley's win over Manny Pacquiao was a joke, but it wasn't bad for boxing."

That's a view you don't get in any other sport except professional wrestling.

The people who run other sports fight against any hint that the fix is in. Many believe there's nothing more important than credibility with ticket buyers and the TV audience.

Not boxing. A hundred different factors conspire to marginalize boxing to the point where any publicity must be good publicity.

If the strong odor of scandal isn't bad for boxing, is anything bad for boxing?

Man versus Rooster? Would that qualify as bad for boxing?

Probably not. Not if Arum got them both to scratch an "X" on a rematch clause.

Actually the side beneficiary of Saturday's split decision, panned by pretty much everyone who saw the fight, is the NBA Lottery.

Seriously, David Stern can reasonably say, we're the ones you have suspicions about? Hilarious.

Except that when one sports event looks crooked, it makes people wonder how many others are controlled or directed by outside forces.

In rounding up the usual suspects on sports corruption charges, boxing is always first in the police lineup.

Curious developments (that's putting it kindly) occur as a matter of course in boxing. Have forever.

To that Manhattan telephone book-sized list, add the judges' cards and Manny Pacquiao's post-fight reaction. In the news conference after the "fight" he smiled even though he said he had no doubt he'd won.

"Don't be discouraged about boxing," Pacquiao told reporters. "There's always next time."

Discouragement isn't an issue for Pacquiao since he gets paid.

The rubber match is probably already set. But all anyone admits to at present is the Nov. 10 rematch which Pacquiao will no doubt win, possibly via a controversial referee decision.

Just a decade ago, the Miami Herald cited approximately 30 fights fixed or tainted by fraud over a 12-year period. Boxers admitted to throwing fights -- losing on purpose -- in many of the instances the newspaper chronicled. Some involved fights against George Foreman and Eric "Butterbean" Esch in the late 1990s.

That happens more regularly in building up a fighter's record in anticipation of a big money bout. Nobody is saying that was the case Saturday. Bradley-Pacquiao was the marquee attraction, just not as big as it'll be next time.

They're saying Pacquiao clearly won on all except two of three judges' cards. That even the third card giving Pacquiao a 115-113 edge did not reflect his dominance.

Pacquiao could protest to boxing's national commission, if boxing had a national commission.

Boxing's Roger Goodell would cure the incompetency of judges (at best) or find the source of the corruption (at worst) except there is no Roger Goodell.

There was only an outraged Arum calling the judges the "Three Blind Mice" and the decision "crazy" even as he estimated the money he'd make come November.

I gave up on boxing years ago after interviewing too many retired punch-drunk fighters and too many sleazy promoters. It's bad enough boxers take debilitating beatings with so little oversight and so few people really in their corners.

The plea for a national governing body is an old one. People outside the sport -- politicians, doctors, sports writers -- demand reform. So do some trainers such as Teddy Atlas. Too many inside the sport, though, benefit from boxing's seediness.

Fans of ultimate fighting usually chime in at times such as Saturday's controversial decision to point out why their favorite sport is growing while boxing is fading.

I don't follow it enough to know if it's any less contrived. But I don't think MMA's "clean and honest" reputation vs. boxing's "scandal-ridden" track record is the determining factor for fans.

All I know is if we've reached the point where Bradley-Pacquiao can't be considered bad for boxing, why does anyone bother watching?

Carlos Santana has a new catcher's mask, but he’s still trying to refine his swing from both sides of the plate.

View full sizeChuck Crow, The Plain DealerCarlos Santana is still trying to get his timing down at the plate.

St. Louis -- Catcher Carlos Santana could use a stronger neck and a quicker bat.

Santana says the heavier catcher's mask he's been using since he came off the disabled list has worked out fine.

"I just need to get my neck a little stronger," said Santana with a laugh.

Santana suffered a concussion on May 25 when he was hit in the mask by a foul tip. The Indians placed him on the seven-day disabled list for players who suffer concussions. He was activated Tuesday in Detroit and has switched from the lighter Titanium mask to one made of a heavier grade of steel.

"Our training staff have done a good job with this," said Santana. "I've worn it before. They also added some more padding to the mask."

Now Santana has to work on his swing. He's hitting .086 (2-for-23) with three RBI since coming off the disabled list. The switch-hitter batted only .233 (21-for-90) in May with two homers and 14 RBI.

"I've been struggling a little since I came off the DL, but I think I'll be all right," said Santana, who started at first base Sunday.

Manager Manny Acta says Santana's problems at the plate are tied to the same thing that bothered him at times last year.

"The stay on the DL affected him a little bit, but that's not the reason he is where he's at," said Acta. "It's a battle he's continuing to work through . . . his body movement at the plate."

Acta says Santana needs to cut down or eliminate his leg kick at the plate.

"Every hitter who has the high leg kick, and does those type of things, goes on rhythm," said Acta. "Those guys have a tendency to be up and down because that's what pitchers do (upset that rhythm)."

Santana is hitting .217 (13-for-60) right-handed and .235 (27-for-115) left-handed. All five of his homers and 17 of his 27 RBI have come from the left side.

"Less is more," said Acta. "The less body movement you have at the plate, the better chance you have of keeping those eyes quiet."

Rehab update: Jack Hannahan is expected to begin a rehab assignment in the minors this week. Hannahan has been on the disabled list with a strained left calf.

Hannahan went on the disabled list on May 28. The injury happened while Hannahan was trying to come back from a sore lower back that sidelined him longer than anticipated.

Acta said Hannahan was going to go through a series of tests Sunday at Progressive Field. If he passed those test, the next step would be playing games in the minors.

"He'll probably have to play four or five games," said Acta.

Hannahan, the Indians opening day third baseman, is hitting .276 (29-for-105) with six doubles, three homers and 18 RBI. In his absence, Jose Lopez and Lonnie Chisenhall have been sharing time at third.

It has been a while since Hannahan has played. He injured his back on May 13 against Boston and has played one game since.

Good D: The Indians entered Sunday's game tied for third place in the AL with a .987 fielding percentage.

"The key for us to play the kind of baseball we've played so far is to play good defense," said Acta. "If you're not going to out-slug people, you have to play good defense. It's been a huge help for us."

Mix it up: After going with eight left-handed-hitting position players Friday and Saturday, Acta started right-handers Lopez, Shelley Duncan and Lou Marson. Lefties Johnny Damon and Casey Kotchman got the day off.

An MMA fighter put Little through grueling workouts while the receiver was suspended from the North Carolina football team.

View full sizeJohn Kuntz, The Plain DealerGreg Little is looking to build on a solid rookie season with the Browns.

BEREA, Ohio -- Browns receiver Greg Little will always be grateful to MMA fighter Wayne Hunter for helping him through the darkest days of his life.

It was the height of the 2010 college football season, and Little was serving his one-year suspension from the NCAA for accepting improper agent benefits. He was banished not only from the North Carolina football team but also from the school's athletic facilities.

"I was frustrated, and I was still kind of confused," said Little. "I was just, like, sad. It was a really difficult time."

He continued going to classes, but running into his teammates on campus was painful.

"I was still friends with everybody, but it was different," he said. "They'd stop to talk to me, but all of the conversations pertained to something that happened in practice or in the locker room, and I wasn't part of it anymore."

Little was permitted to attend games but had to buy his own ticket and sit in the stands.

"The players weren't even allowed to give me tickets," he said.

He went to two games but quickly realized he couldn't sit and watch anymore.

"Fans would ask what happened and why I got suspended," he said. "I felt like I should be out there helping us win and celebrating. It was too hard."

What's more, his teammates were on the field improving, some of them catching the eyes of NFL scouts.

"They were upping their draft stock, and I was just kind of falling by the wayside," he said.

Then along came Hunter, who had met Little through some mutual friends at North Carolina. Little discovered Hunter, an amateur MMA fighter and former reserve quarterback at East Carolina, did personal training, and he asked him to help.

"He took time away from his job and moved to Chapel Hill [N.C.] to train with me," said Little. "He charged me, but it wasn't about the money for him. He wanted the time to work with me, and he wanted to train as well for his career. It was a great situation for both of us."

The first thing they did was buy a football.

"For him to be able to throw the ball to me was key, because I was still able to catch the ball, run routes and work on my craft," said Little.

Hunter quickly realized he would have to get creative in his quest to get Little in shape for the predraft process and NFL Scouting Combine.

"We once tried to work out at one of the indoor facilities at North Carolina, and they kicked us out," recalled Hunter. "Some of the local gyms didn't want to be associated with him because of the bad publicity. People were blackballing him."

Hunter ran Little through the streets of Chapel Hill and worked him out at his high school track in nearby Durham. They hit local apartment gyms and intramural fields. "Anything we could find," said Hunter.

Their workouts -- three times per day and at least 15 per week -- were as unconventional as the places they did them.

"We boxed, ran five rounds of 400-meter laps, did weight-training, and I put him through some military boot camp stuff, too," said Hunter, who attended Fork Union (Va.) Military Academy prep school and spent a year at the Air Force Academy before transferring to East Carolina, where his career was derailed by injuries. "Sometimes we'd go for three hours at a time."

The most punishing workout, but also one of Little's favorites, was The 12 Days of Christmas.

"It was 12 different workouts in a pyramid format," said Little. "It would be something like 12 kettle-bell swings and then 12 of those plus 11 sit-ups. Then it would be the 12, plus the 11 and then 10 jump ropes and so on. It took about an hour and 20 minutes, and we'd be exhausted."

The workouts were so grueling, Little could barely walk right afterward.

"Sometimes I couldn't even lift stuff up to my mouth because my arms were so tight," he said. "It was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life."

On days his legs were spent, the nighttime session consisted of cross-H.I.T. (high intensity training) workouts with boxing gloves.

"I always did all of the workouts with him so I knew exactly which body parts were the most sore," said Hunter. "There were mornings I didn't want to get out of bed, but I knew I had to push him. The goal was to make it so hard that nothing he ever had to do in training camp would compare. He's a freak athlete in general, so it wasn't hard."

Despite the intensity, Little never complained.

"Greg was pursuing his dream of becoming a great NFL receiver, and he never slacked off," said Hunter. "He gave it 100 percent all the time. He wanted to be pushed to be the best he could possibly be."

The workouts were as beneficial to his psyche as they were to his body.

"They helped take my mind off not being with the team," Little said. "I was so busy and exhausted, I didn't have time to be down."

It wasn't until after Little was finished training with Hunter that he went out to Athletes' Performance Institute in Arizona, where he put on about 11 pounds of muscle heading into the NFL Combine -- extra bulk that he shed this off-season to get down to his current 219.

"I was very lean and cut when I worked out with Wayne," said Little. "I lost about four or five pounds, but I still had a big body for a receiver."

Hunter told Little he hadn't seen anyone work out this hard since Titans running back Chris Johnson, who was on the team with him at East Carolina. Johnson went on to rush for 2,006 yards in 2009 to earn NFL Offensive Player of the Year honors.

"Greg has the same work ethic that it takes to be great," said Hunter. "I knew he was going to have a great year last year despite sitting out a season."

Little, who caught 61 passes for 709 yards and two TDs last season, is working to improve this season after trimming down and working on his route-running and conditioning all off-season at Bommarito Performance Systems in South Florida. There, he caught passes from NFL quarterbacks such as Brady Quinn, Christian Ponder and Byron Leftwich.

But he will never forget the time he spent with Hunter during the 2010 season.

"It was my saving grace," said Little.

Investigators were searching for a gunman who killed three people -- including two former Auburn University football players -- and wounded three others at a pool party near campus, witnesses said Sunday.

Auburn, Ala.  -- Investigators were searching for a gunman who killed three people -- including two former Auburn University football players -- and wounded three others at a pool party near campus after several men began punching each other in a fight over a woman, authorities and witnesses said Sunday.

One of the wounded was shot in the head and critically hurt. Another was a current player, Eric Mack.

Desmonte Leonard opened fire at the party at an apartment complex near the university, Auburn Police Chief Tommy Dawson said. Federal marshals and police were searching for Leonard, who faces three counts of capital murder.

Slain were Edward Christian, who had not been playing because of a back injury, and Ladarious Phillips, who had previously quit playing football. The other person killed was 20-year-old Demario Pitts.

Officials also said Xavier Moss and John Robertson were wounded. Robertson had been shot in the head and was in critical condition; Moss was released from the hospital.

KSU's success bring to mind Northeast Ohio native's time in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League.

View full sizePhil Masturzo, Akron Beacon Journal The exploits of coach Scott Stricklin and the Kent State baseball team warm the heart of Golden Flashes alum Lois Youngen, 78, who lives in Oregon after teaching at the University of Oregon for 36 years.

EUGENE, Ore. -- As Kent State moved one step closer to being in a league of its own among both midmajor and Mid-American Conference baseball programs this weekend, KSU alum Lois Youngen watched from the stands with pride.

Now 78, Youngen was a LeBron-ette of her time. At 17 years old, this product of then-Leroy, Ohio -- now called Westfield Center, Ohio -- signed to play professional baseball in Fort Wayne, Ind., out of high school.

"It wasn't that unusual, and I wasn't the only one," the Eugene, Ore., resident said. "That was how I earned the money for tuition to Kent State."

And that love of baseball was nurtured by her father, Elden "Ty" Youngen, who pitched for the Golden Flashes in 1924, '25 and '26. "I have no idea what his record was. But I know he was captain his senior year."

The evidence is a pin she wore to the second game of Kent State's NCAA super regional Sunday night at PK Park against the Oregon Ducks. A 7-6 win Saturday put KSU one game up in the best-of-three series for the right to advance to this week's College World Series in Omaha, Neb. That would be a first for Kent State, and the MAC, since NCAA baseball went to a 64-team tournament in 1999.

Youngen sat through the latest in a 21-game win streak for KSU -- the longest current streak in the nation -- with dual allegiances after teaching at the University of Oregon for 36 years.

"I'm camouflaged now, but the truth will come out this week with the grief," she said, clearly hoping for KSU to extend its winning ways. "I can put up with it."

Her competitive fires showed as she talked about how Kent State held on for its win Saturday despite allowing a staggering 11 walks, and six leadoff batters to get on base.

"Walks will beat you," she said. "My manager, [former Hall of Fame player] Jimmie Foxx, always said, 'Walks will beat you.' He was adamant about that."

Youngen talks of walking to Seville and Lodi with the boys in the neighborhood with "one ball and one bat" to play against other teams when she was young. At one point, they booted her off the team for no clear reason. "A week or so later, they asked me back," she said. "They hadn't won a game."

While 16, she visited cousins in Fort Wayne during the summer and attended a Fort Wayne Daisies game. She told them, "I can do that." Youngen had a tryout the next morning and that January got an invitation letter to go to spring training.

"I had to get special dispensation from the county to get out of school for three weeks," she said. "I had one teacher that made me send back my homework. Long story short, I went to Alexandria, Va., for spring training. Made the team. Returned home, went to my senior prom, graduated from high school and joined the Fort Wayne Daisies in one week."

Youngen played four seasons on three teams in the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League, which began during World War II and lasted until 1954. Youngen played during the springs and summers while in school at KSU, "seven nights a week, doubleheaders on Sunday," taking extra classes in fall and winter to make up for missed time.

Youngen graduated from Kent State with a degree in teaching and later earned another degree from Michigan State in physical education and then a doctorate from Ohio State.

She now has endowed a scholarship to the baseball team in her father's name, of whom she proudly spoke as she prepared to watch the Golden Flashes play once again Sunday night.

"I wish my dad was here to see what his team has done," she said. "This is one fantastic experience."

Golden Flashes lose early lead, waste leadoff double in ninth.

View full sizeRoss William Hamilton, The OregonianKent State's George Roberts is congratulated after his home run gave the Flashes a 1-0 lead in the second inning.

EUGENE, Ore. -- The winning streak is over for Kent State. Now they either start another or their season is over. The Oregon Ducks overcame an early deficit to force a deciding game in the NCAA Tournament super regional, beating the Golden Flashes, 3-2, on their home field of PK Park.

Kent missed an opportunity for a big inning in the fourth, then saw a 2-0 lead turn into a 3-2 deficit in the seventh inning that the Flashes could not overcome. The third game in the best of three series is Monday at 7 p.m. with the winner advancing to the College World Series.

T.J. Sutton doubled to lead off the ninth for the Golden Flashes, but Oregon relievers struck out the next three batters.

Oregon coach George Howard practically guaranteed victory for the Ducks shortly after Kent won the opening game, 7-6.

That KSU victory not only snapped a 14-game home winning streak for Oregon, but signaled a trend Howard now expected to end. He said the Ducks had not won a series this season, since the opener vs. Hawaii, when they lost the opening game. And that was to be the pre-game motivation for his team.

"If I know my guys," he said, "they're going to look at me and go, 'Watch this.' "

Kent came in to Sunday's game riding a 21-game winning streak, the longest in the nation, but now the Flashes are faced with a one-and-done scenario.

Junior Ryan Bores started smoothly for Kent, which was the home team, with a 1-2-3 first inning. After going 1-2-3 in the first, the Flashes got on the board on a home run to left from George Roberts. He hit it 375 feet for a 1-0 Kent lead.

Bores did not give up a hit until the fourth inning, when the Ducks got two hits. But that just allowed catcher David Lyon to show off his arm. He easily gunned down a runner attempting to steal second, then ended the inning by nailing a runner at first who strayed too far from the bag.

Lyon then opened Kent's half of the fourth with a single to left. Roberts followed with a booming double to the warning track in center that scored Lyon standing up. Sutton singled to put runners on first and third with none out. After two strikeouts, Alex Miklos walked to load the bases before Derek Toadvine grounded out to first to end the inning.

Bores sailed through the sixth, but Kent was unable to put any more runs on the board.

Oregon won it in the seventh. Ryon Healy singled with one out, then came around to score when Kent outfielder Alex Miklos misplayed Brett Thomas' single. A walk and a single tied it, 2-2, and ended Bores' night.

Mike Clark came in for Kent with runners on first and third. Oregon's Brett Hambright bunted to give Oregon its first lead of the series, 3-2. Clark made a bad throw to first, failing to get the out leaving two runners on and still one out. But he got out of the inning with no more damage.

Kent, hitless since the fourth inning, now had to go back to work.

The Flashes got a two-out single from Toadvine to end Reed's game and bring in lefty relief pitcher Thomas Thorpe to face KSU's lefty hitter, Evan Campbell. But the first-game hero whiffed on three straight pitches to end the inning for Kent. Clark then started the eighth throwing six straight balls, forcing KSU coach Scott Stricklin to make another pitching change to Tallmadge senior Ryan Mace.

Oregon sacrificed to advance the runner for 1B Ryon Healy. But Mace showed his veteran moxie getting Healy on strikes then a long fly out to end the inning. Kent, now down to its final six outs, started the eighth with Jimmy Rider hitting a blast to left. But Oregon's Thomas caught the ball at the wall. Lyon and Roberts then went down on strikes.

Once again Mace did his job in the top of the ninth, leaving KSU one last chance to pull out the win.

But Kent could not do it.

Kent State is one win away from the College World Series.

Rafael Nadal defeats Novak Djokovic for the French Open title.

Mark Baker / APRafael Nadal

 
 Rain or shine, clay or mud, Sunday or Monday, Rafael Nadal rules Roland Garros.

The man they call "Rafa" won his record seventh French Open title Monday, returning a day after getting rained out to put the finishing touches on a 6-4, 6-3, 2-6, 7-5 victory over Novak Djokovic. He denied Djokovic in his own run at history — the quest for the "Novak Slam."

The match ended on Djokovic's double-fault, a fittingly awkward conclusion to a final that had plenty of stops and starts, including a brief delay during the fourth set Monday while — what else? — a rain shower passed over the stadium.

They waited it out and Nadal wound up as he has for seven of the past eight years: down on the ground, celebrating a title at a place that feels like a home away from home for the second-seeded Spaniard. He broke the record he shared with Bjorn Borg, improved to 52-1 at the French Open and beat the man who had defeated him in the last three Grand Slam finals.

"This tournament is, for me, the most special tournament of the world," Nadal said.

After serving his fourth double-fault of the match, the top-seeded Djokovic dropped his head, slumped his shoulders and walked slowly toward the net — an emotional two-day adventure complete, and not with the result he wanted.

He was trying to become the first man since Rod Laver, 43 years ago, to win four straight major titles. He came up short just as Roger Federer twice did in seeking four in a row — his pursuit also halted by Nadal at Roland Garros in 2006 and 2007.

"It was a very difficult match against the best player in the world," Nadal said. "I lost three Grand Slam finals — Wimbledon, the U.S. Open last year, and the Australian Open this year. I'm very happy, very emotional."

Nadal won his 11th overall Grand Slam title, tying him with Borg and Laver for fourth among the all-time leaders.

Next up on Nadal's list: Chris Evert? Yes. Before Monday, Evert was the only player, man or woman, to win seven titles at Roland Garros, and Nadal would break that record next if he wins No. 8.

"He's definitely the best player in history on this surface and the results are showing that he's one of the best-ever players to play this game," Djokovic said.

A match with so much of tennis history riding on it proved awkward and frustrating for both players.

Unable to solve Nadal's mastery of the clay, Djokovic was throwing rackets around early in the final. A bit later on Sunday, Nadal was complaining bitterly as the rain picked up, the tennis balls got heavy and officials refused to stop the match.

Djokovic rolled through the third set as the rain turned the heavy red clay into more of a muddy paste. He had all the momentum when play was halted, up a break early in the fourth. The weather cleared well before dusk Sunday and Djokovic said he was sitting around the locker room, ready to play. But officials decided to call it a washout, setting up the first non-Sunday finish at the French Open since 1973, when Ilie Nastase wrapped up his title on a Tuesday.

"I said, 'Good, we've had some luck. If we hadn't stopped, we were going home,'" said Nadal's uncle and coach, Toni Nadal. "Because Rafael was a bit blocked and Djokovic wasn't missing any balls. He was hitting them all well. So we had some luck."

When Nadal and Djokovic came back to Roland Garros on Monday under cloudy skies, they shook hands as they passed each other on the practice court. A bit later, the match resumed. Both the surface on Court Phillippe-Chartier and the tennis balls had dried out, and Nadal looked more like he usually does — sliding into his stops, spinning his powerful, looping shots, moving Djokovic around, always getting one more ball back.

"I'm not going back, saying it's your fault and your fault because I lost," Djokovic said. "It's unfortunate because I was playing better, feeling better on the court in the third set yesterday. Today, he started strong. I started slower. I was a little bit unfortunate in that first game and things turned around."

On the restart, Nadal broke serve right away to tie the set at 2-2 and the frustrated Djokovic was back — slamming himself in the head with his racket after missing an easy forehand that gave Nadal the break point.

It was one of 15 unforced errors in the set for Djokovic, who went back to trying to end points early and blunt the huge advantage Nadal has sliding around on clay. When the surface was muddy, the evening before in the third set, Djokovic only made eight unforced errors.

"But I don't find an excuse in that," Djokovic said, speaking of the decision to halt play Sunday night. "The better player won today, so congratulations on that."

Play was nearly stopped with Nadal ahead 5-4 in the fourth, but the players sat under umbrellas for a few minutes while a rain shower passed, then they went back out. Both men held serve and Djokovic needed to hold once more trailing 6-5 to force a tiebreaker.

Nadal hit a big forehand winner to set up match point, and Djokovic, who had saved four of those in a quarterfinal win over Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, had no more magic. He double-faulted and dropped to 0-4 against Nadal at the French Open.

Nadal fell to his knees and buried his head in his hands, then clambered into the stands to hug his family.

Emanuel Davis plans to challenge for a position in the secondary. Watch video

Berea, Ohio - Undrafted cornerback Emanuel Davis knows he must take advantage of every opportunity to get the attention of the Cleveland Browns' coaching staff.

Unlike players selected in the draft, free-agent rookies like Davis have to get style points during camp. Big plays, good reads and limiting mistakes is a formula that could help make the difference between a deal or a ticket back home.

Davis, second team all-conference at East Carolina, gained some attention last Thursday when he intercepted a pass from Seneca Wallace. In a 7-on-7 drill, Davis broke up a pass from Brandon Weeden intended for Mohamed Massaquoi.

In an interview with Branson Wright, Davis talks about taking advantage of this opportunity.

Mayfield Heights native Matt Shannon donated bone marrow through the Be The Match Registry he signed up for with his Brown University football team.

Photo courtesy of Brown UniversityMatt Shannon, a Mayfield Heights native who is a football player at Brown University, is shown in the hospital, where he went to donate bone marrow. He was selected as part of a national bone-marrow registry and was found to be a match for an anonymous person needing marrow, a 1-in-80,000 shot.

Cleveland, Ohio - When Matt Shannon clicked on the Be The Match email last month, he figured it would be another form letter. One of the emails telling him about another bone marrow registration drive, or something complimenting him, again, on becoming a part of the registry with his entire Brown University football team.

But when the Mayfield Heights native read the email, his world stopped for a second.

"You're a match," it said.

Of the 650,000 who register for the Be The Match Registry each year, only about 1 in 40 find a match, someone who is in need of a bone marrow donation and who shares a compatible biological makeup. Of those who are a tentative match, only about 1 in 540 actually donate bone marrow.

On May 31, Shannon became one who not only was found to be a match but one who also donated his bone marrow for a patient in need. The rising junior who is a safety on the Brown football team underwent a two-hour surgical procedure at Georgetown Medical Center in Washington that extracted marrow from his hip bones. He's required to rest for about two weeks post-surgery as his body regenerates the matter removed.

"I'm not going to say it wasn't [painful], but any pain or sacrifice I had to make is nothing compared to what [the match] has to go through," Shannon said.

Shannon registered with Be The Match as a freshman when the football team helped with the registration drive in the spring.

The Brown Bears are part of the "Get in the Game, Save a Life" campaign begun by Villanova football coach Andy Talley 10 years ago to involve student-athletes in the program, and while players aren't required to register, most do.

Shannon's parents, Michelle and Hugh, registered for the Be The Match program years ago, when Michelle was studying to become a nurse. So when Matt told his mom that he was signing up when he was a freshman at Brown, she was happy he was taking a small step to help others in need.

But when Matt received the final call just before finals week at Brown confirming he was a perfect match, and then told his mother he wanted to donate, she was proud of the boy she and her husband have raised.

"I told him if this ends up panning out where you're able to help somebody, that's a decision you need to make on your own, and we'll support you 100 percent," Michelle Shannon said. "But he was on board 100 percent, the whole time. He didn't even hesitate."

That's the kind of boy Matt Shannon always has been, she said. He and a handful of Brown teammates volunteered in the past year to work at a school for special needs children. Just because. And he happened to be taking a biology class this spring that taught about stem cells like the ones that would be extracted from his bone marrow and donated to a leukemia patient, so he knew how rare it was to find someone who shared a similar biological makeup.

The only drawback? When Shannon emerged from surgery, in the groggy haze of anesthesia, he told his mom to remind his Brown football coach he couldn't complete the off-season workout for that day.

"I think he'll give you the day off," she teased.

Because of medical privacy laws, Shannon does not know who will receive his bone marrow, though he will receive three updates on the health of the leukemia patient over the course of a year. The first comes six weeks after the initial surgery. If both the donor and recipient want to meet, they can do so a year after the donation.

Shannon said he's eager to hear the health updates. He's also hopeful his donation can help spread word of the need for the general public to become a part of the Be The Match Registry. To be entered into the system, registrants merely must have the inside of their cheek swabbed. About 8 million people currently are in the registry.

"The more people that get involved with it, the more people who can get saved in the long run," Shannon said. "Only about 50 percent of the patients who need transplants actually get the transplants. [The matches are] probably out there, they just don't know about the program."

"As for the Cavs, do you really think that both Varejao and Thompson can play the floor at the same time? Is this maybe the time to see if there is a team out there that wants Varejao and has somewhere between a 6 to 9 pick they would part with?" - MyTribe

View full sizeGus Chan / The Plain DealerCan Tristan Thompson, above, and Anderson Varejao be on the court at the same time and not be offensive liabilities?

"As for the Cavs, do you really think that both Varejao and Thompson can play the floor at the same time? Is this maybe the time to see if there is a team out there that wants Varejao and has somewhere between a 6 to 9 pick they would part with?

Right now, I'd rather have Robinson than last year's pick Thompson, and frankly, if I could trade Varejao and get another high pick, that could be a real coup if the pick was high enough. Varejao is the perfect counterpart to a player like Lebron James, but not necessarily to a big man that is not as mobile or cannot score well."

"Great to see the Masterson and Jimenez look like the top of the rotation guys we need them to be. I'm hoping they can stay consistent.

I also hoping the Dolan's go out and get a real hitter instead of more pitching if they do anything. Tribe is about third from last in AL home run and HALF of the leading Yankees total. And they are third in slugging...but 7th in runs."

Plain Dealer columnist also talks about what an NBA Finals win - or loss - would mean for LeBron James. Watch video

Cleveland, Ohio - Welcome to today's edition of Starting Blocks TV, hosted by Chuck Yarborough and Branson Wright.

The NBA Finals are nearly upon us. So, which team do you think will emerge with the crown, LeBron James' Miami Heat, or Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder.That's the question in today's Starting Blocks poll.

Today's guest on SBTV is Plain Dealer columnist Bill Livingston, who is predicting OKC to win the series in six games.

Livy also talks about what a Finals triumph - or a loss - would mean for James' legacy; and which player he would choose, James or Durant, if he were starting a team.

SBTV will return Tuesday with Plain Dealer reporter Dennis Manoloff talking Indians baseball.

Here are what blogs from Cleveland and around the country are saying about the Browns, Cavaliers and Indians. Featured today are Dawg Pound Daily, Did The Tribe Win Last Night and The Nation.

Here are what blogs from Cleveland and around the country are saying about the Browns, Cavaliers and Indians.

Dawg Pound DailyWeeden has embraced Cleveland.

"At first glance, who cares that he’s wearing an Indians T-shirt? Why should what shirt he’s wearing make any difference to anyone? It shouldn’t. But it does. The simplest way to become a fan favorite in Cleveland is to drink the Kool-Aid. All you have to do is make it seem like you love what’s going on in the city and that you’re a fan yourself and suddenly you’re the most lovable thing in town – puppies notwithstanding, of course.

If there was any doubt about this, take a look at Joe Haden. The Browns have had good players periodically over the last 15 years (not quite true, but work with me here) who have not necessarily been welcomed in the community. Similarly, it’s gone on in other sports – the Tribe and Cavs have had players who were tremendously talented but not personally adored."

Thomas Ondrey/The Plain DealerLindor is looking forward to his future.

"Not even a week after the 2012 MLB First Year Draft, Indians fans should be excited about the 2011 draft. With the eighth overall pick, the Indians took a 17-year old shortstop out of Montverde Academy in Florida. His name is Francisco Lindor, and in just his first full professional season, the now 18-year old is not disappointing.

Entering Sunday, Lindor is hitting .271 with four home runs and 22 RBI through 53 games at Lake County. He has also swiped 14 bases. His performance has even landed him a spot in the Midwest League All-Star Game. However, despite the early accolade, Lindor still has his sights set higher."

"If the Thunder win the 2012 title, the Clay Bennett/David Stern approach will be lionized throughout pro sports. The theft of the Sonics will be justified and cities involved in stadium negotiations will be threatened with being “the next Seattle” if they don’t acquiesce to the whims of the sporting 1 percent. A championship for the Thunder would be a victory for holding up cities for public money. It would be a victory for ripping out the hearts of loyal sports towns. It would be a victory for greed, collusion and a corporate crime that remains unprosecuted."

Thome and Vizquel helped the Indians reach the postseason six times; Ramirez, five. They are the three players from the nucleus of those Cleveland teams who remain active, and each could be in the final season of their playing careers.

Associated PressManny Ramirez, Omar Vizquel and Jim Thome greet David Segui at home plate after they scored on Segui's grand slam home run during the Indians' 11-1 win over the Yankees in New York on Sept. 15, 2000.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- The Cleveland Indians enjoyed one of the greatest eras in franchise history from 1994 to 2001.

The Tribe made the postseason six times in the eight-year span, each time by winning the American League Central Division. They might have also made it in 1994, as they trailed the division-leading Chicago White Sox by one game and had a 2 1/2 game lead in the wild card race when the players' strike, which eventually ended the season, hit that Aug. 12.

The Indians' other swing-and-a-miss for the playoffs was in 2000, when they finished second to Chicago in the division race and one game behind the Seattle Mariners in the playoff chase.

It was a great time and a welcome departure from the usual futility for Indians fans. Remarkably, from 1960 to 1993, the Indians finished at least 11 games out of first place every year, except for the strike-shortened 1981 season.

Three players remain active from the nucleus that helped the Indians to the 1995 and 1997 World Series -- which ended in, respectively, a four-games-to-two loss to the Atlanta Braves and a 4-3 loss to the Florida Marlins.

Manny Ramirez, 40, is with the Sacramento River Cats, the Class AAA team of the Oakland Athletics. Ramirez is trying to work his way back to the big leagues after retiring from the Tampa Bay Rays last April 8, choosing to leave the game instead of serving a 100-game suspension for a second violation of baseball's drug policy. When Ramirez decided over the winter that he'd like another chance, baseball re-instated him, with the stipulation that if he signed with a team, he'd serve a 50-game suspension to begin the campaign.

Jim Thome, 41, is a pinch-hitter and part-time first baseman for the Philadelphia Phillies. Omar Vizquel, 45, plays the infield part-time for the Toronto Blue Jays.

As Ramirez, Thome and Vizquel all near the end of their careers, it's a good time to consider the significant contributions each made to the Indians.

Ramirez came up to the Indians during the 1993 season and stuck with them beginning in 1994. He left the Indians as a free agent following the 2000 season, signing with the Boston Red Sox.

A right-handed hitting right fielder, Ramirez hit .313 during his stay in Cleveland, slugging 236 home runs and driving in 804 runs. Ramirez is Cleveland's all-time leader with a .592 slugging percentage, and his on-base percentage was .407.

In 10 postseason series, including 52 games, with the Indians, Ramirez batted .223 (42-of-188) with eight doubles, 13 home runs, 26 RBI, 26 runs and 28 walks. He hit .182 (8-of-44) in 13 World Series games, with three homers, eight RBI, five runs and 10 walks.

Thome spent parts of three seasons (1991-93) in Cleveland, before becoming a big leaguer for good in 1994. The left-handed hitter played third base until he was switched to first base when the Indians traded for third baseman Matt Williams prior to the 1997 season. He left Cleveland as a free agent after the 2002 season, signing with the Phillies.

Counting the 22 games he played with the Indians following their acquisition of him from the Minnesota Twins late last season, Thome slugged a team-record 337 homers for Cleveland, and drew a record 1,008 walks. His Indians' numbers included 937 RBI, a .287 batting average, .566 slugging percentage and .414 on-base percentage.

Thome hit .229 (43-of-188) in 11 postseason series with Cleveland. In 55 games, he totaled one double, one triple, 17 homers, 36 RBI, 32 runs and 25 walks. In 13 World Series games, Thome hit .255 (12-of-47) with one double, one triple, three homers, six RBI, nine runs and seven walks.

Ramirez had some talent as an outfielder and base-runner, but often seemed distracted and could be considered mistake-prone. Thome was an acceptable fielder, with somewhat limited range, and a slow but fundamentally sound base-runner.

The Indians traded shortstop Felix Fermin and first baseman-outfielder Reggie Jefferson to the Seattle Mariners for Vizquel prior to the 1994 season. The Indians didn't show much interest in bringing back Vizquel, then 37, when his contract was up in 2004, and he signed with the San Francisco Giants.

A switch-hitter, Vizquel won Gold Gloves in each of the first eight of 11 seasons he played with the Indians. He stole 279 bases and scored at least 84 runs eight times. Vizquel had a .283 batting average as an Indian, with 60 homers and 584 RBI.

Vizquel played 57 games in the Indians' 11 postseason series. He hit .250 (57-of-228) with seven doubles, four triples, 20 RBI, 28 runs, 25 walks and 23 stolen bases in 26 attempts. In 13 World Series games, Vizquel hit .208 (11-of-53) with two doubles, one triple, two RBI, eight runs, six walks and six steals in six tries.
