A late Arizona State Sun Devils’ rally fell short on Thursday, as the Stanford Cardinal held on for a 20-13 Pac-12 football victory at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe, Ariz.

Sun Devils quarterback Manny Wilkins drove the ASU offense into the red zone in the last two minutes and 20 seconds of the fourth quarter. But with no time outs available, ASU could not stop the clock. All of ASU’s losses this season have been by a touchdown.

After the Cardinal (5-2 overall, 3-1 Pac-12) built a 20-6 lead with a big third quarter, ASU (3-4, 1-3) bounced back with seven minutes to play in the fourth quarter when Wilkins capped a 64-yard drive with a 10-yard touchdown run, cutting the Stanford lead to 20-13.

Stanford snapped a 6-6 deadlock with 7:55 left in the third quarter when quarterback K.J. Costello connected with JJ Arcega-Whiteside for a 28-yard score. Five minutes later, Cameron Scarlett’s one-yard plunge put the Cardinal up 20-6.

Costello completed 22 of 29 passes for 231 yards and a touchdown with no interceptions. Scarlett ran nine times for 54 yards and a touchdown. Bryce Love ran 11 times for 21 yards.

Arcega-Whiteside and Trenton Irwin each snared seven passes for the Cardinal. Arcega-Whiteside gained 91 reception yards and a touchdown; Irwin gained 79 reception yards. Jet Toner booted field goals of 21 and 31 yards in the first half.

Wilkins threw for 353 yards and a TD while completing 26 of 43 passes. Wilkins also led ASU in rushing with 41 yards on 11 carries. Eno Benjamin gained 38 yards on 11 attempts for the Devils.

Arizona State’s top pass catcher was K’Neal Harry with eight receptions for 91 yards.

The Cardinal return home on Saturday, October 27 for a 3:00 p.m. Pac-12 game against Washington State (5-1).

Jazz ruin Kings’ Opening Night with 123-117 road win at Golden 1 Center

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — NBA opening night is a special night for every team.  It’s a time when every team believes in themselves, despite what the rosters may indicate, possible predictions and off-season hype that they have a chance to create some magic. For the Sacramento Kings, it’s the opportunity for ultimate redemption, like, say, Wednesday night versus the Utah Jazz at Golden 1 Center. Also, a chance to pave a path back to the playoffs after 12 years of being bottom-feeders in the West. With a significant amount of young talent like De’Aaron Fox and Marvin Bagley, Sacramento is looking to progress into the future and it all starts tonight…or not.

The Kings looked like they were hoping to keep the hope alive. With less than eight minutes to go in the first quarter Sacramento held a 9-0 lead over Utah. Sacramento would hold a 10-plus lead for the majority of the quarter, thanks to early contributions from Buddy Hield. Utah rallied early and closed the gap behind seven points, thanks to Joe Ingles. The first quarter ended with a four-point advantage for Sacramento, 34-30.

The Jazz were in control during second and third quarters, while the Kings seemingly couldn’t catch a break with the referees and found themselves in foul trouble in the first three quarters. Rudy Gobert showcased his tremendous length and proved why he is one of the best big men in the NBA. Going into into the fourth quarter, Gobert had a double-double with 17 points and 10 rebounds. The Kings got contributions from many different places with five players with double-digits, but trailed by six at the start of the fourth quarter, 93-87.

The Kings never lost the fire they had going in the game, starting the fourth quarter with energy and refusing to let the Jazz walk away with an easy win. Willie Cauley-Stein went on to be Sacramento’s leading scorer with 23 points. Hield and Fox scored 21 and 19 points, respectively; but the Kings’ real standouts were Nemanja Bjelica and Yogi Ferrell, whose clutch effort plays kept the Kings competitive. Ferrell caused two jump balls through four quarters, the second coming at a crucial late stage in the game as the Kings were trying to close the gap in the fourth quarter.  Bjelica was one of the Kings’ most potent scorers, pouring in 18, including a fourth quarter three-pointer.

In the end, both teams scored 30 points apiece, and the Kings fell by the same third quarter deficit of six points. Even still, Sacramento played with great effort and well enough to be competitive, keeping up with a Utah team that’s considered to be one of the better teams in the West. The Kings can look back at this game for growth, and keep the hope for a better season.

Final: The Jazz defeated the Kings 123-117.

Up Next: The Kings travel to Smoothie King Center to take on the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday, October 19 at 5:00 pm PT on NSCA and FSNO.

SAN JOSE–The San José Sharks will celebrate Hispanic Heritage Night for the second consecutive year when they host the New York Islanders at the SAP Center this Saturday, October 20 at 7:30 PM.

Los Tiburones got their start in 1991-1992 as they played at the Cow Palace in Daly City, Calif. In 1993 they moved to the SAP Center in San José, where they have been playing exciting hockey for their very loyal steady fan base in the South Bay. I remember covering them since their very first game at the Cow Palace in 1991 as they lost to the Vancouver Canucks, 5-2, later with Telemundo Channel 48, we filmed the new and current location in San José when the arena was under construction, interviewed the surrounding businesses, and all the excitement that has brought to San José, their fans and to the overall economy of the Bay Area’s largest city. Was there in their greatest achievement,when they made it to the Stanley Cup Finals in 2016 against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Once the “pequeños” Tiburones, now they have “grown up.” They are 27 years old and they have joined the ranks of the following Bay Area professional teams that also broadcast in Spanish: Athletics, Giants, Raiders, 49ers and Earthquakes.

The Spanish Broadcast this Sunday will air on KIQI 1010AM/990AM Bay Area/San Francisco/Oakland/Sacramento, 98.5 HD-2 for South Bay and NBC California SAP (Secondary Audio Channel).

Carlos Orellana, Producer/Engineer, Jesús Zárate, play-by-play, yours truly commentary.

Follow the Sharks and their quest for their second trip to a Stanley Cup Final on 98.5 KFOX Flagship station for the Sharks Radio Network in the voice of veteran play-by-play announcer Dan Rusanowsky, as well as all game telecasts on NBC California.

¡Buena suerte Tiburones!

Headline Sports podcast with London Marq: Kings open season hosting Jazz tonight; 49ers’ loss simply was a heartbreaker; Expect Astros-Sox to go the distance

On the Headline Sports podcast with London:

#1 London will be covering the Sacramento Kings opener at Golden 1 Center as the Kings host the Utah Jazz. London talks about all the excitement surrounding opening night.

#2 The San Francisco 49ers lost a crucial close game to the Green Bay Packers 33-30 in a game that went right down to the wire. Is this game viewed as an improvement game for San Francisco?

#3 It’s a series that has gone back and forth that saw the Red Sox win game one and the Astros in game two and now the Sox in game three. There’s no doubt the two best teams in the American League battling in the ALCS.

#4 With the Golden State Warriors losing four of their five preseason games, any indication that this Warriors team is getting older slowing down and show signs of fatigue or they just didn’t show all their cards in the preseason? Looks like they answered that question with a big win over the OKC Thunder on Tuesday night.

#5 The Oakland Raiders’ loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday in London was one of the low points of this season. With the team at 1-5, is this team getting away from head coach Jon Gruden?

#1 Not too many people knew about the schedule change when the Barrcuda added a home game on Monday, October 15th vs. the Tuscon Roadrunners just a little over 2,000 fans turned out for the Monday night game at SAP Center. How was the turn out, despite the schedule change?

Por Amaury Pi-González

Los Atléticos de Oakland celebraron su Aniversario 50ta en Oakland con una marca de 97-65 (segundo lugar en la División Oeste) y clasificaron a la postemporada como equipo comodín detrás de los Yanquis de Nueva York que terminaron 100-62. Los Atléticos viajaron a Nueva York el día 3 de Octubre para juego eliminatorio y perdían 7 a 2 frente a los Yanquis.

Esta fue la mejor temporada para los Atléticos desde 2002 cuando terminaron con marca de 103-59. Terminaron en primer lugar en la División Oeste. Esa temporada 2002 el equipo ganaba 20 juegos en forma consecutiva, del 13 de Agosto al 4 de Septiembre(un record entonces)y esa fue la temporada que sirvió de inspiración para el libro ‘Moneyball’ del escritor Michael Lewis, que años despues era adaptado a la pantalla en película de nombre “Moneyball” 8en 2011. El actor Brad Pitt protagonizó a Billy Beane,Gerente General de los A’s.

El 21 de Abril Sean Manaea lanzó un juego sin permitir Hit ó Carrera, al vencer a Boston 3-0 en el Coliseo de Oakland. Manaea era el primer lanzador de los Atléticos en lanzar juego sin permitir Hit ó Carrera desde Dallas Braden quien lanzaba Juego Perfecto el 9 de Mayo (Día de la Madre) en el Coliseo de Oakland contra Tampa Bay. La joya de encuentro vino contra un equipo de Boston que había ganando 8 juegos de forma consecutiva.

En Junio, el equipo establecía un record de Grandes Ligas conectando de cuadrangular en 25 partidos consecutivos. La previa marca pertenecía a los Orioles de Baltimore en 1996, de 24 juegos consecutivos pegando jonrón.

Los A’s conectaron 227 jonrones,tercero mejor entre todos los 30 equipos de Grandes Ligas. Los Yanquis 267(nueva marca) y los Dodgers 235. Los A’s terminaron número cuatro en total de carreras anotadas con 813,detrás de Boston 876, Yanquis 851 y Cleveland 818. También eran segundo en dobles conectados con 322, solo Boston pegaba más con 322.

El Baterador Designado Khris Davis se convirtió en solo el segundo en la historia de los A’s y el primero desde Jimmy Foxx en 1934, con temporadas de 40 ó más jonrones en tres-temporadas-consecutivas (2016-18)

y también estableció nueva marca en toda la historia al convertirse en el primer jugador en terminar las últimas tres temporadas consecutivas con el mismo exacto promedio al bate, de .247.

El primera base Matt Olson encabezó el equipo en total de juegos participados con 162 (todos) y también pegaba 29 jonrones con 84 carreras impulsadas, todos records personales. Los demás jugadores también disfrutaron de su mejor temporada en cuadrangulares y carreras impulsadas: Khris Davis 48 jonrones 123 impulsadas,Stephen Piscotty 27 jonrones 88 impulsadas,Matt Chapman 24 jonrones 68 impulsadas,Jed Lowire 23 jonrones 99 impulsadas y fue a su primer Juego de las Estrellas, Mark Canha, 17 jonrones 52 impulsadas y el versátil Chad Pinder jugó en 110 partidos y bateó .259 de promedio, todos mejores en su carrera.

Blake Treinen terminaba con el mejor promedio de efectividad para un relevo-cerrador en las Grandes Ligas, con 0.78, ganando 9 perdiendo 2, salvando 38 juegos en 80 1/3 entradas de labores y fue a su primer Juego de Estrellas. Yusmeiro Petit encabezaba a todos los lanzadores del equipo con 74 apariciones en relevo,máximo para el en su carrera de 11 años.

En Agosto, el tercera base Matt Chapman le suplicaba a los aficionados de Oakland que fueran a ver al equipo jugar, luego de un encuentro contra Seattle donde la asistencia era solo de 10,000 fanáticos. La asistencia esta temporada fue 1,573,616 (#27) entre los 30 equipos de Grandes Ligas, un aumento sobre el 2017 cuando la asistencia fue de 1,475,721,(#29)que pagaban para ver a los A’s en el Coliseo de Oakland.

Historia de la Serie Mundial. Las tres franquicias más exitosas son: Yanquis de Nueva York 27 títulos,Cardenales de San Luis 11 títulos y los Atléticos 9 titulos (5 en Filadelfia y 4 en Oakland)
