Similar Stories to Giants Score Three In The 9th To Tie, Lose In 11 on Bing News

AT&T Park was mostly empty in the top of the ninth inning Friday night when the hardy few fans who stayed through a stinker of game for the Giants started a "Let's Go Giants" chant. The players in the orange tops showed their appreciation another way, tying the game with a three-run rally that began with two outs in the ninth and sent the game into extra innings. The crowning blow was Conor Gillaspie's pinch two-run homer, his first of the year. A smaller but just as enthusiastic group saw the Giants lose anyway, 12-9, when three straight Padres (Matt Szczur, Jose Pierla and Carlos Asuaje) drove in runs with their fourth hits of the game. Manager Bruce Bochy does not enjoy walking into the interview room after the Giants score nine runs, which sometimes amounts to two series worth of production, and talk about a loss. Wil Myers broke a 6-6 tie in the seventh with a homer off Hunter Strickland, who allowed two more in the eighth after allowing consecutive triples to start the inning. Brandon Crawford's second RBI single scored Posey, and Gillaspie sent a slider high and deep into the night to tie it 9-9. Bochy said before the game he wanted to stay away from Kontos, but he tried to squeeze an inning from the right-hander before going to his long man, Kyle Crick, the last reliever left. Play momentarily was stopped in extra innings when an aggressive flock of seagulls commandeered the air space over the outfield and had Denard Span, who has a fear of birds, running several steps to safety. Sanchez hit his fourth homer of the year against the Giants, an RBI double and a single. Since 2015, his final year in San Francisco, he is hitting 11-for-22 with five homers and 13 RBIs against the Giants. Brandon Belt flipped a single to right-center, his first hit in 10 at-bats, to score Span. Crawford's single became a de facto triple when right fielder Hunter Renfroe bounced a throw past third base, and he scored for a 4-0 lead when Hunter Pence pulled a double to left. Cahill's bases-loaded wild pitch in the fourth gave the Giants their third four-run lead, at 6-2,. Sanchez hit a hanging breaking pitch just over third base and near the chalk to score Asuaje and trim the Giants' lead to 6-4. In this his case, Cory Gearrin walked reliever Craig Stammen with one out in the sixth inning and Asuaje made it 6-6 with a two-out single to right.

    Colorado head football coach Deion Sanders during the CU Spring football game on April 27, 2024.(Cliff Grassmick/Staff Photographer) Rain made for a soggy Colorado spring football game on Saturday, but it certainly didn’t dampen the mood among the recruits who were visiting. On Sunday, three recruits who visited the Boulder campus this weekend announced their verbal commitments to the Buffs, including brothers Brandon and Colton Hood and offensive line transfer Zack Owens from Clemson. All three were once teammates at Eagles Landing Christian Academy in McDonough, Ga., and now will be teammates at CU, where they’ll play for head coach Deion Sanders.

    The Broncos may or may not have a shot at drafting CU’s Shedeur Sanders in 2025. But they are bringing one of the most celebrated college quarterbacks in the state over to Dove Valley for a closer look. Mines QB John Matocha, the NCAA’s all-time leader in total touchdowns, received an invite to the Broncos’ rookie mini-camp next month, his former school announced in a news release Sunday morning. The 5-foot-11, 180-pound Matocha, winner of the Harlon Hill Award — Division II football’s Heisman — in 2022, led the Orediggers to the NCAA Division II national championship game each of the last two seasons, throwing for 162 touchdowns and running for 28 more as a four-year starter.
