Gene Upshaw
Morry Gash/Associated Press
Gene Upshaw, the longtime head of the N.F.L. players association and a member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, died of pancreatic cancer on Aug. 21, 2008.
Born in 1945 in Robstown, Tex., Upshaw was a first-round selection by the Oakland Raiders in 1967, the first draft by the N.F.L. and the American Football League. Upshaw was a guard for the Raiders for 15 years, and he played in three Super Bowls. He played in 307 games, including three A.F.L. and seven A.F.C. championship games. He was the first person to play guard exclusively who was voted into the Hall of Fame.
Upshaw, who headed the union for 25 years, was frequently criticized for what was perceived as a cozy relationship with the former N.F.L. Commissioner Paul Tagliabue.
But in the last contract that was approved in March 2006, Upshaw won 60 percent of revenue for players — such a significant amount that owners found the deal untenable only two years later. Upshaw was the union leader who won free agency for players in exchange for a salary cap in 1993.
Can This Union Maintain a Lasting Unity?
In 1987, during the last major labor dispute, the players were routed by the owners. Will this generation hold the line any better?

Vendors are businesses of selling prepared food and drinks, usually seen on mobile carts, which allow the player to replenish their health to varying degrees. They appeared in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto IV, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars and Grand Theft Auto V.
GTA San Andreas
Vendors in GTA San Andreas are generally grouped into four forms, three of which are depicted in the form of stalls (including a chilli dogs stand, a Cherry Poppers ice cream stand, and a Noodle Exchange noodle stand), while one (a hot dog business) is based in a drivable van. Most are situated in tourist sites in the State of San Andreas, such as landmarks, special events (i.e. stadiums), or in the countryside/desert regions. Vendors may also be spotted by a red halo where the player must stand on to purchase food.
Like vending machines, vendors are not marked on the map as restaurants do; they refill roughly 50% of the player's base health when used, keeps the player full for three days before they go hungry again, and costs $1 per use. In addition, the player is not able to repurchase another item from the same vendor unless the player moves away from the vendor at a minimal distance and return or until after a period of 30 seconds. Vendors are never seen preparing food and beverages for the player but standing behind the stand doing nothing. There is a glitch in the game where they randomly attack the first person they see, whether that is CJ or a pedestrian, but they only do this if you use cheat codes through out the game and even then they still might not do it. It is unknown if they do this on any other system besides the Playstation 2.
If player destroys vendor's stall with the car, the owner will attack the player briefly before he stops.
Vendors are located throughout the city, selling hamburgers, hot dogs (Chihuahua Hotdogs), and nuts (The Nut House) which can be purchased to replenish the player's health. There are also newspaper stands which sell Sprunk soda. Each food item purchased from a street vendor is $5 for hotdogs and nuts, while beverages and hamburgers purchased at news stands are $1. Hamburger stands have a small gas tank on the side of the cart that will explode if shot or rammed with a vehicle. Hotdog vendors with the green and yellow umbrellas have these too, but are inside a small opening in the cart and are best exploited using a vehicle. The hotdog carts with red and yellow umbrellas, as well as nut vendors, have no gas tank.
The vendors themselves are typically random in appearance, but are categorized into three groups. The first group, usually found in Broker, Dukes, somewhat in Algonquin and Happiness Island, consists of jolly old and slightly beefy Caucasians who are kind and thank you for your business. The second group, common in Algonquin and Alderney, are slim individuals with Middle Eastern accents who are similarly well-mannered. The third group, also in Algonquin and Alderney consist of people of oriental heritage that utter both English and Cantonese, and are usually rude, mean and always demand money. These differences have no effect on the sale of the product. All vendors are willing to fight any customer who is unruly. The food and beverages sold by the vendors are unlimited.To attract customers, the hotdog vendors may shout things like:"My sausage is the best", "Eat my hotdog" or "Taste my meat" which are all part of the regular sexual humour of Rockstar.The nuts vendors usually have something like "If you're nuts" written in their carts, possibly refering to the bad quality of the nuts, therefore calling anyone who buys them crazy.Niko was originally able to purchase ice cream from the vendors, judging by their audio files.
GTA Chinatown Wars
In Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, hotdog vendors and nut vendors appear throughout Liberty City. The player can pay $5 for a hotdog or $3 for a bag of nuts to have half of their health replenished. If the player rams a vendor stand with a car or shoots it then it will create a very weak explosion that is nearly incapable of destroying anything. However, if a police car rams into it during a police chase, then they will be imminently knocked out.
Grand Theft Auto V
First seen in a screenshot from a preview in Nov. 2012, the food vendors return once again to GTA V selling refreshing Sprunk's to greasy hotdogs.
Hot dog and newspaper vendors are most prominent in Star Junction, being on nearly every corner. Nut vendors can be found most frequently in Middle Park, while hamburger vendors are few and far between and are most commonly found in Broker and Dukes. A street vendor will make their presence known by shouting various sales pitches.

Melo the Roll Man
"On that note, only one trend from the last few days of scrimmages really stands out to me, and it's the number of times Melo has been the roll man in the pick-and-roll. He hardly did that last year (22 total times, according to Synergy), but I feel like I've seen him set quite a few picks for Felton during practice."
Tommy DeeA critical part to the season is clearly getting Melo comfortable in his role, and what we watched during the summer was a player who was certainly comfortable as the screener in the pick and roll/pop. That should make fans who are leery of being a "ball stopper" feel a little better seeing that he will be getting the ball of action and not off dump down and holds. This, of course, brings in the question of how the team will implement Amar'e in the offense. To me, you can have multiple pick and role/pop players, but I think this would allow for Amar'e to utilize his quickness and new moves in the post for some dump downs as well forcing teams to double team him and kicking out to the perimeter. Essentially, they are flip flopping spots while adding depth and flexibility to their own games and the offense as a whole.

'Around 90 percent of people who smoke started before age 18'
EUGENE, Ore. -- A new study found that if tobacco use continues at its current rate over 5 million American children will die early from smoking-related illnesses.
More than 20 million Americans have died from smoking over the last 50 years, and health officials say teens today are even more vulnerable than ever before.
"Around 90 percent of people who smoke started before the age of 18," said Jason Davis of Lane County Public Health.
A Eugene teen smoking during his lunch break at school says he started when he was 10 years old.
"All my buddies smoke. I just smoke with them," the high school student said. "I smoke about a pack and a half a day. Usually you just get a friend who is 18 to buy you a pack."
Davis says about 20 percent of county residents smoke, and an average of two Lane residents die each day from a tobacco related illness.
According to the Surgeon General, over 5 million American kids born in 2014 will die prematurely from second hand-smoke if smoking rates stay the same.
"Cigarettes that are produced these days have so many more additives than even 10, 20 years ago," said Davis.
Cigarettes generate about $20 million in revenue for Lane County each year. $250 million is spent on treatment for tobacco related illness in the county.
The government also funds programs designed to help those who would like to quit smoking.
"I mean, I'm not worried about it. I'm 15," the high school student told our news staff. "There are people who have been smoking for thirty years that aren't dying yet."

SEGA has been teasing us for weeks and months on end of what exactly we can expect from Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 1, formerly known as Project Needlemouse. And now, things are beginning to come together. The previous trailer revealed by the company offered only a few brief seconds of gameplay video, video that seemed to create as many questions as it answered. But today, an "anonymous source" has given 1UP some offscreen shakey-cam footage of the game from Microsoft's recent X10 event: 1UP also has some screens with their report, and TSSZ News has uploaded all of it to their own site, just in case it gets pulled.

All-Star tipster John Marbury clued us in to the trailer below late yesterday, but today, SEGA and Rare have gone all-out in spilling the beans about the presence of bear-bird duo Banjo and Kazooie in Sonic & SEGA All-Stars Racing.

Check out the trailer to see: That's right; not only do you get Banjo in a Nuts 'n Bolts truck in the Xbox 360 version, but you can play as your Avatar in an Avacar (seriously, that's what they call it) as well!

According to multiple beat reports, forward Vinny Prospal will be out 2 - 3 weeks after undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery. in 38 games this season, Prospal is +2 with eight goals and 24 assists for 32 points.
Playing on the first line, Prospal has had terrific chemistry with right winger Marian Gaborik despite shifting often between center and left wing. Recently, the return of Brandon Dubinsky has given the line a renewed energy and also began settling the other line combinations.
It's possible that the Rangers could summon some help from Hartford, possibly in the form of P.A. Parenteau. Sean Avery or Chris Higgins may jump up to the first line spot in place of Prospal.

OGDENSBURG Barbara Briggs Ward left Wednesdays state Office of Mental Health listening tour session on the future of state mental health services feeling just as uneasy as she did before the meeting.
Having dealt with OMH in the past because of my son, what you see is not always what you get, she said Thursday. In the end, the bottom line is the almighty dollar. Its not patient care.
OMH acting Commissioner Kristin M. Woodlock was at the psychiatric center Wednesday to spread the word about upcoming sweeping changes to the states mental health service delivery system that will downsize inpatient treatment and expand community outpatient support.
The proposed changes have community members worried that the St. Lawrence Psychiatric Center will close, putting 520 people out of work and leaving more mentally ill people to fend for themselves in communities without adequate outpatient support.
Mrs. Woodlock said she hopes to have a plan in place by Monday for which facilities will be designated regional centers of excellence, which in concept bring in universities and hospitals as partners to support care and research and bring more equality between how behavioral health care and primary health care are managed. A majority of officials and community members attending Wednesdays meeting urged her to consider Ogdensburgs facility for the designation, touting as advantages its emphasis on community-based care, proximity to colleges and hospitals and reputation for good patient outcomes.
Ms. Ward, a member of the psychiatric centers board of visitors who has a mentally ill son, said more community-based services and the phrase center of excellence sound nice. But, she said, the state has failed to provide adequate community-based care since it first downsized the psychiatric center in the 1980s.
She said a vast majority of those who remain under inpatient care are in the hospital for a reason.
So many of the mentally ill are incapable of holding down even a simple job, she said. A lot of them cant function in the community. They have to keep the hospital open for the patients. Do I want a better future for them? Of course. But realistically, youre dealing with mental illness.
Ms. Ward, who is also an employee of Northern New York Newspapers, said since a plan is expected as soon as Monday, it is clear OMH already has decided the psychiatric centers fate.
They can say they came up here and listened and allowed everybody to speak, but four hospitals out of 24 have to be closed, she said. Weve heard for a long time that its going to close because its census is so low. When the bottom line is money, people let the mentally ill suffer.
Glenn D. Liebman, CEO of the Mental Health Association of New York State, said community-based care is a winning strategy for the state and patients, but the state needs to ensure funding for that care can meet the demand for it.
Mr. Liebman said the money saved from downsizing inpatient hospitals in the 1980s went to the states general fund rather than to community outpatient support.
If you look even over the last 10 years, rarely do we get any more enhanced funding for community services, he said. Its now been five years since we have even had a basic cost-of-living adjustment for community services.
He stopped short of saying he is optimistic about the states plans to revamp mental health.
What I would love to see happen is to have 100 percent reinvestment in community programs, to have language in legislation that says if you close a bed, a ward, a facility, 100 percent of that money gets directed right into community-based mental health services, he said.
David A. Bayne is the executive director of Step-by-Step, Ogdensburg, a peer-run organization that provides support programs for those with mental health and addiction issues. He also attended Wednesdays meeting, and left unsure of how to feel about the future.
They cant have a vision if theyre not going to provide the community with the support to provide the services each community needs, he said.
Mr. Bayne said he likes the states vision for the future, and said the state cant realistically close the hospital because there always will be a need for inpatient services. Even if those services are downsized, he said, those providing inpatient care could find work in an outpatient program.
I think were in a time of change and, as scary as it is, it can also be a time for new growth and new possibilities, he said. I hope we can count on them to do what they say theyre going to do. If not, we think we have a lot of people on the streets now? It will only get worse.
Whatever the future may bring, Patrick J. Kelly, St. Lawrence County Industrial Development Agency CEO and psychiatric center task force member, said the community put its best foot forward Wednesday in trying to convince the state of the centers value.
We have a very positive story to tell, and I think the community conveyed that message clearly and passionately and comprehensively, he said. I think anyone who was there yesterday hearing all of the comments would have to be optimistic.
About 300 people attended Wednesdays session in Ogdensburg, which OMH spokesman Benjamin Rosen said was the highest attendance among the states 12 listening tour stops. In total, 1,626 people registered to attend listening tour sessions across the state.

Federal authorities serving search warrant at Longwood pain clinic
2-year investigation leads to search of clinics in Longwood, Brevard County
Federal authorities are serving a search warrant at a pain clinic in Longwood after a two-year investigation.
Authorities said they are searching the business at 860 East State Road 434 on Friday morning as part of an investigation with Longwood Police Department, Drug Enforcement Administration and the Seminole County Multi-Agency City/County Investigations Bureau.
It's not clear what the search is for, as police say the content of the search warrants are sealed.
Other locations in Brevard County are also being targeted with the assistance of the Brevard County Sheriff's Office, police said.
"We are confident resolution of this investigation will reduce residual crime associated with prescription drug abuse in the City of Longwood and beyond," Longwood police said in a release.

DDoS Attacks Hammering Targets Harder
It's the last thing organizations want to hear: Hackers are putting more punch in their distributed denial of service attacks, and they're using more of them to try and shut down their targets. The report from Prolexic shows hackers are using three times the bandwidth of previous DDoS attacks, which hammer digital targets with so many requests for information that they shut down. It's an uphill struggle for security experts to deal with these attacks because the tools are easy to get on the Web.
Apr 17, 2013 3:13 PM PT
The number, size and impact of distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks increased sharply in the first quarter of this year, according to a new report from Prolexic.
The average attack bandwidth in this period was 48.25 Gbps, 718 percent more than the 5.9 Gbps chalked up by attacks in the previous quarter. The average packet-per-second rate hit 32.4 million, and the average duration of an attack increased 7.14 percent, from 32.2 hours to 34.5 hours.
Hackers "are constantly changing up the signature and they're altering the rate at which they attack, which makes it difficult to defend against them," Prolexic CEO Scott Hammack told TechNewsWorld. "They start with a low rate when you're looking for a certain overage on a rate of attack and, when you move on, they slowly increase it."
The attacks have been launched by rogue states, criminal gangs, ad hoc groups of hackers and by hacker communities, said Marty Meyer, president of Corero Network Security. Their motives are "split fairly evenly among financial extortion, distraction and hacktivism."
What Prolexic Found
The total number of DDoS attacks increased by 1.75 percent in this past quarter, Prolexic said. Attacks against infrastructure went up 3.65 percent, but attacks against applications fell 3.85 percent.
More than 10 percent of the DDoS attacks against Prolexic's clients worldwide in Q1 averaged in excess of 60 Gbps. The largest attack the company mitigated peaked at 130 Gbps. It was launched in March against an enterprise customer.
Infrastructure attacks against Layers 3 and 4 of the OSI model -- the network and transport layers -- accounted for nearly 77 percent of the attacks during Q1. Layer 7 application attacks accounted for the remaining 23 percent.
The Nature of the Attacks
DDoS attacks consume computational resources such as bandwidth, disk space or processor time. They disrupt configuration information such as routing data, wreak havoc with state information (resetting TCP sessions, for example), disrupt physical network components, or shut down communications between users and victims.
Four attack types -- SYN, GET, UDP and ICMP floods -- were the ones attackers favored most, Prolexic said.
The average packet-per-second rate and the average bit rate spiked in the first quarter, and both are growing fast.
High packet rates are more damaging than high bandwidth rates, as well as the number of gigabits per second being transmitted during attacks, Hammack said. That's because a large number of small packets per second that consume 100 Gbps of bandwidth, for example, are harder to deal with than a smaller number of large packets consuming 100 Gbps.
The most DDoS attacks came from China, but the U.S., Germany and Iran were also sources.
Fighting the DDoS Attackers
"Law enforcement is very active in trying to shut down bots and find the perpetrators, but if you're halfway intelligent, it's easy to avoid law enforcement, and that's what's happening," Hammack said. "Plus, it's very difficult to go and track down the perpetrators if they're in rogue nations."
Further, the tools required to launch attacks "are easily obtained on the Internet and not very difficult to operate," Meyer told TechNewsWorld. Also "there are many methods that can be used to cloak one's actual origin point such as IP spoofing."
Although there have been several arrests and convictions of hackers, "that is only a small fraction of the perpetrators and is not a true deterrent," he added. "Going after a global base of malicious users is not feasible."
Enterprises can turn to DDOS attack service providers or they can invest in their own solutions. However, Meyer said organizations "have been slow to invest in hybrid solutions [which are installed both on premise and in the cloud] because they don't feel DDOS attacks create serious risk management issues."

In the second half of 2011, top tier mobile device vendors unleashed marketing promotions targeting the upward mobile market audience in emerging smartphone and table markets. Samsung, used clever ads downgrading Apple users while extolling the benefits of the Galaxy S II X phones and Galaxy Tablet lines of business to make substantial inroads into these market spaces. Apple is expanding sales channels in emerging markets, with greater success in China than it's having in India, but is also targeting South American markets such as Brazil. HTC is gaining traction in China, but developed markets such as North America and Europe continue to be the mainstay of its "ship into" markets. RIM, despite its weakness in apps-capable smartphone markets, continues to do well in messaging-centric emerging markets such as Indonesia. Nokia hopes to benefit from Windows Phone 7 Lumia series launches in India (Dec-2011) and China (in 1Q-2012).

HAMMOND After an unlawful vote to terminate Superintendent Douglas H. McQueer, the Hammond Central School Board of Education has approved a separation agreement with Mr. McQueer allowing him to retire rather than be fired.
Mr. McQueer will receive lifetime health, dental and optical insurance as part of his early retirement agreement approved by the school board Wednesday, so long as he does not seek legal action against the district. The board of education unanimously voted to accept the resignation of Mr. McQueer at Wednesdays meeting after weeks of negotiating the terms of his contract.
School board President Timothy W. Pitcher said Thursday that the boards initial decision last month to fire Mr. McQueer was reached improperly. Board members voted in executive session to terminate him and learned afterward that the vote was illegal because it was not done in public and no minutes were recorded.
Uncertainty over whether to renew Mr. McQueers contract, which was up for negotiation this year, began earlier in the summer, Mr. Pitcher said.
Mr. Pitcher previously said the board had voted to fire Mr. McQueer based on ongoing poor job performance and evaluation scores, in addition to differing opinions about the districts direction for the future.
By the time Mr. McQueers contract was up at the end of June, the board had not yet reached consensus about whether to renew his contract.
We had not finished up any of our deliberations, Mr. Pitcher said.
On July 8, Mr. Pitcher and board member Marjorie McCullough met with St. Lawrence-Lewis BOCES Superintendent Thomas R. Burns to discuss the procedure for terminating Mr. McQueer.
I advised them on the process, the possible ramifications and told them to retain counsel, Mr. Burns said. Im an advisor. Thats not to say that Im helping them form opinions or make decisions.
Mr. Pitcher said the board did not have an opportunity to consult with an attorney before its July 9 reorganizational meeting, where members reappointed Mr. McQueer to continue his functions with the board of education but did not vote to extend his contract as superintendent.
In executive session following the reorganizational meeting, Mr. Pitcher said the board voted not to renew Mr. McQueers contract. The next day, the board informed Mr. McQueer that he was being terminated.
It didnt look right; it probably wasnt laid out well, Mr. Pitcher said of the process. We didnt have our lawyer there.
The action was null and void. As a result, Mr. McQueers contract was still in effect until Wednesdays meeting, when board members accepted his early retirement.
The separation agreement also states that the board of education will not seek legal action against Mr. McQueer, and both the board and Mr. McQueer are barred form making disparaging comments about the other party or this agreement.
Mr. McQueer will continue serving until Oct. 1. Mr. Pitcher said he hopes the board will find a permanent replacement by February. An interim superintendent will be appointed until a permanent replacement is found.
We want to see someone thats honest, with a lot of integrity, whos good with the kids and wants to listen to people. I think thats what everyone wants in a superintendent, Mr. Pitcher said. Youve got to be a good communicator.
Mr. McQueer will also have $7,500 from earned and unused sick days applied to his 10 percent share of health insurance costs as part of his separation agreement. The agreement states that he is entitled to retiree benefits regardless of whether he is employed.

PROVIDENCE --- They split their regular-season series by winning lopsided games on their home fields. They battled to a 1-0 duel in the winnersŌĆÖ bracket semifinals, and they shared some Division I championship history by playing a one-sided game that was decided by a dozen runs.
On Tuesday night, Cumberland High and Mount St. Charles Academy battled each other in a winner-take-all showdown for the ages, a nine-inning duel that saw the Clippers emerge with their programŌĆÖs first state title.
Becky GeddesŌĆÖ sacrifice fly to center field in the top of the ninth inning turned out to be the difference in the ClippersŌĆÖ 3-2 triumph over the Mounties before a large gathering at Rhode Island College.
The Clippers, who were the fourth seed in the tournament, cap a magical 19-5 season that saw them become the first team since Bay View Academy in 2007 to fight its way out of the losersŌĆÖ bracket and claim the championship.
The crown was also their first after failing in its previous four appearances in the championship round (1998, 2000, ŌĆÖ01, and ŌĆÖ09).
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs a great win for the Cumberland program and for all the players who had been here before us, but never won (a championship),ŌĆØ said Cumberland coach Marty Crowley. ŌĆ£And I canŌĆÖt say enough about my team coming out of the losersŌĆÖ bracket. The kids definitely deserve this. IŌĆÖm very proud of them, and I canŌĆÖt say enough about them.ŌĆØ
Crowley offered praise in his post-game remarks to his talented senior class of tri-captains Bethany Paul, Christina Speroni, and Krissy Peffer and fellow veteran 12th-graders Kayleigh Martins, Kaitlyn Pluta, and Kelsey Cahill.
This group, which won a middle school and JV state championship earlier in their careers, turned in some of their best performances during the playoffs to end their run together as varsity champions.
ŌĆ£Our seniors really stepped up this year,ŌĆØ noted Crowley. ŌĆ£We talked a long time ago about our senior leadership. We met all winter long and they really stepped up. Our seniors have done everything I have asked them to do, and weŌĆÖre here because of them.ŌĆØ
While Crowley and the Clippers were obviously ecstatic with their state title, the ninth-seeded Mounties (13-10) were obviously a downcast bunch in their failed bid to win their first championship in four tries and become the lowest-seeded team in RIIL history to capture the crown.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs a tough way to end the year, but there are 13 other teams who would do anything to stand where I am right now,ŌĆØ added MSC coach Cliff Matthews, whose crew also lost in last seasonŌĆÖs finals to Coventry High. ŌĆ£We came from three games under .500 to make it here, and I just couldnŌĆÖt be any prouder of my team.ŌĆØ
MatthewsŌĆÖ team was a night removed from playing its worst game of the year in an very ugly 15-3 loss by the Clippers, who pounded out 20 hits and took advantage of six errors by the Mounties. But in Tuesday nightŌĆÖs rematch, the Mounties did a complete turn for the better and played superbly.
ŌĆ£We came back out here tonight and it was like, ŌĆśOK, we remember how to play now. WeŌĆśre focused,ŌĆÖ ŌĆØ said Matthews. ŌĆ£In my heart, I think that (MSC pitcher) Olivia (Hendricks) outpitched (Cumberland pitcher) Beth (Paul). I know we outhit them, and defensively, we were rock-solid.
ŌĆ£But when we were in position a few times to win the game, we couldnŌĆÖt get that one key hit, and that was the difference in the game.ŌĆØ
Before the contest, Crowley had the option of being the home team, but to the surprise of a lot of people, he decided to be the visiting team for the second night in a row. Why did he do this?
ŌĆ£People questioned why we wanted to be the visitors, and this is why,ŌĆØ said Crowley. ŌĆ£If we got to extra innings, we would have the opportunity to score first and put pressure on the other team. We got some funny looks for doing it, but it paid off in the long run.ŌĆØ
It paid off in the ninth. Juliet Nelson began the inning as a courtesy runner for Speroni. She dashed to third two pitches later on a sacrifice bunt by Pluta and sped home on GeddesŌĆÖ long sacrifice fly to the gap in right-center that center fielder Taylor Messier reeled in with a nice running grab.
In the bottom of the frame, Olivia Hendricks, who was the runner on second, found herself quickly on third with no outs on a passed ball. But Paul left her on third and ended the game by getting the next three outs on a soft pop fly to shortstop, a strikeout, and a tapper back to the mound.
In the top of the eighth, the Clippers began the inning with the last out from the seventh, Bridget Connors, on second base.
Peffer laced a grounder to shortstop that Emily Hendricks fielded and fired to first baseman Nicole Grinsell, but Grinsell, seeing Connors break late for third, stepped off the base prematurely and delivered a late throw to third that had no chance of nabbing the speedy Connors.
But Peffer, who tried to advance to second base, was throw out, and Olivia Hendricks, who limited the Clippers to six hits, came back to retire the next two batters on a popout to shallow center and a groundout to shortstop.
Then came the MountiesŌĆÖ half of the inning. Emily DiCecco was inserted at second base as a courtesy runner for the last out of the seventh, Aria DiMeo.
With one out, Nicole Silva blooped a single to shallow center, but DiCecco, who got a late break away from second, tried to advance to third, but she was thrown out by 10 feet by Connors in center field.
The Mounties struck first in their opening swings, when with two outs, Briana Castro, who went 3-for-4, blooped a single into center and scored all the way from first on a long double to right by DiMeo.
But the Clippers, after being handcuffed to two hits through the five innings by Hendricks, came alive in their half of the sixth.
Peffer led off with a sharp base hit to right, and after Paul flew out to shallow center, Speroni tied the score with a ringing double into the left-field corner.
While the Clippers and their fans were still celebrating SperoniŌĆÖs hit, Pluta gave them the lead with a single up the middle. Messier scooped up the ball and made a strong throw to the plate, but Speroni was able to slide home safely.
After the Clippers struck for their two runs in the sixth, the Mounties made a final effort to get back on the board in the seventh. Gardella led off by getting on base on an infield error, and with two outs, dashed to second on a passed ball.
Emily Hendricks then smashed a sharp single to left, but seeing how the ball was hit hard to Martins in left field, Matthews gave Gardella the stop sign at third.
After Hendricks alertly took second on the throw back into the infield, Castro stepped to the plate and ripped a grounder to second that Speroni gloved with a dive to her right, but couldnŌĆÖt throw out Castro at first. Gardella scored and Hendricks, who would have scored if the hit went into the outfield, only went to third.
ŌĆ£That was the play of the game,ŌĆØ said Crowley. ŌĆ£Christina dove to keep that ball in the infield, and if she doesnŌĆÖt do that, Mount wins the game. We knew they would battle back, but that play didnŌĆśt allow the winning run to score.ŌĆØ
Paul then silenced the threat and sent the contest into extra innings by striking out DiMeo with a high fastball.
