Jet Toner kicked a 39-yard field goal with one second remaining in regulation, giving Stanford a 31-28 Pac-12 football victory over Oregon State Saturday at Reser Stadium in Corvallis, Ore.

The win extended Stanford’s winning streak over the Beavers to 10 games.

The Beavers came from behind to tie the game at 28-28 on a 1-yard touchdown run by Artavis Pierce with 1:55 remaining in the fourth quarter.

The Cardinal’s Connor Wedington returned the ensuing kickoff 43 yards. Stanford quarterback Davis Mills — starting in place of the injured K.J. Costello — threw for a first down and ran for another on the Cardinal’s final drive, setting up Toner’s game-winning kick.

Mills threw for 245 yards and three touchdowns for Stanford (2-3 overall, 1-2 Pac-12). Costello injured his thumb in the Cardinal’s loss last Saturday to Oregon.

The game was delayed for 15 minutes due to lightning in the Corvallis area. It was the home open for Oregon State (1-3, 0-1). The Beavers had a bye last week, and defeated Cal Poly two weeks ago.

Cameron Scarlett rushed for 92 yards on 24 carries for Stanford, while Wedington caught five passes for 31 yards. Wills threw touchdown passes to Michael Wilson, Colby Parkinson and Brycen Tremayne in the first quarter, and later caught an 8-yard scoring pass from Parkinson at 9:31 of the fourth period.

Pierce ran for 141 yards on 16 attempts and touchdowns of 43 and 1 yards for the Beavers.

Oregon State quarterback Jake Luton completed 27 of 39 passes for 337 yards and a touchdown, and was sacked four times.

Next Saturday, the Cardinal host Washington (4-1). Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m.

DeChambeau, Watney come crashing down while another NorCal soars to the top

Saturday was not a very good day for Bryson DeChambeau or Nick Watney, and as a result, they fell from the top of the leaderboard while some new folks took over the top spots as the final day of the Safeway Open approaches.

DeChambeau’s four-over round of 76 dropped him toward the middle of the pack, while Watney’s round of 72 was a little more modest, and he is now tied for the fifth spot in the field and four shots shy of the lead.

Meanwhile, another native of Northern California grabbed the lead on Saturday with stellar play. Sacramento native Cameron Champ, who considered to be the longest hitter on the PGA Tour, used that distance to get good looks at birdies and ended up shooting a five-under bogey-free round of 67.

Besides averaging 335 yards off the tee this week that ranks him at the top of the field, including a 372-yard bomb on Saturday, Champ also leads the field this week with a 91.67 scrambling percentage. He is also tied for the fewest bogeys this week.

“I’m extremely pleased,” Champ said. “Not to make a bogey on the scorecard, mission is accomplished. I’m hitting it well, I’m giving myself so many chances. I’m just executing everything. I’m hitting my shots, I’m not making the little mistakes I was, then I’m getting it up and down when I need to.

“Today was like a faultless day.”

Champ currently leads the tournament by three shots, while Sebastian Munoz also shot a 67 on Saturday to get into the second spot. Munoz has had some recent winning experience, as he won the Sanderson Farms Championship earlier in the 2019-20 season.

He then followed that up with a tie for seventh place at A Military Tribute at the Greenbrier.

“I’m hitting the ball pretty solid, I’m making the putts, so I’m feeling great,” Munoz said.

Joining Munoz in the No. 2 slot are Canadians Adam Hadwin and Nick Taylor. Hadwin first a five-under 67 while Taylor shot 70 to give themselves a chance to win on Sunday.

San Jose Sharks podcast with Mary Lisa Walsh: Gambrell to make team; Hertl and Kane a great duel on the third line; plus more

On the SJ Sharks podcast with Mary Lisa:

#1 The San Jose Sharks finally picked up a win this time past the Vegas Golden Knights at SAP Center on Thursday night a 4-1 win. Was the difference in this game as opposed to previous games the Sharks wanted to shake off those first three loses and just wanted to come out and play hard for a win?

#2 Evander Kane and Tomas Hertl both scored a goal each that helped the Sharks. There is no doubt that Kane and Hertl will be valuable this season.

#3 One thing about Thursday’s game, both teams were scoreless going into the third period and the Sharks took turns trying to light the lamp. Dylan Gambrell made the team after scoring two goals.

#4 The Tomas Hertl and Evander Kane line should be potent and ready for opening night. The Sharks will play the Knights in Vegas on Sunday (preseason) and on Wednesday night and T-Mobile Center is a tough place for hockey.

#5 In closing talk about Marty Jones in net and how’s his defense has been looking, he’s certainly working to keep the puck out of the net this season.

On the MLB The Show podcast with Matt:

#1 The Oakland A’s and Tampa Bay Rays both qualify for at least one game of wild card baseball the site is yet to be determined as it’s too close to call but either way there’s no doubt it should be a nail biter.

#2  The Rays Tommy Pham led the way with a two run homer and they got quality pitching from Tyler Glasnow who pitched 4 1/3 innings of no hit ball against the Toronto Blue Jays as the Rays beat the Jays 6-2 to clinch for a wild card birth.

#3 In the National League the Los Angeles Dodgers are in a four game win streak they took the first game game of their series against the San Francisco Giants on Friday night 9-2 and ran away with the NL West this season by over 20 games on top.

#4 The Oakland A’s announced they will start Sean Manaea who came in the season after recovery from Tommy John surgery and in his first two games he threw shutout ball. Manaea has won his last four starts with 1.21 ERA.

#5 The timing is good for the return of A’s outfielder Stephen Piscotty who just came off the IL manager Bob Melvin said it will be an adjustment period over the weekend in Seattle in preparation for Wednesday’s wild card game vs. the Rays.

On Headline Sports podcast with Tony Renteria:

#1 Oakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden says he hopes the offense could provide more vertical shots and that the receivers can be more aggressive.

#2 Gruden did say that the offense needed to be more aggressive and that was before the release of Antonio Brown during the first three weeks of the season.

#3 In the first three games of the season, Raider quarterback Derek Carr has thrown 23 passes for 10 yards past the line of scrimmage and has completed 13 pass for 257 yards.

#4 Turning to baseball, at one time, the Oakland A’s had a two-game lead before Wednesday night. The A’s had just a 1/2 game lead and the Tampa Bay Rays keep winning, beating the New York Yankees on Wednesday and the A’s dropped two straight games and almost lost a third in Anaheim on Wednesday night, but thanks to a Matt Chapman home run, they came back with two runs in the ninth to win it 3-2 and hold a 1/2 game lead in the AL wild card.

#5 The PGA Tour Safeway Open starts today at Silverado Resort in Napa. Some of the big names at the event include the Golden State Warriors’ Stephen Curry, Phil Mickelson and Hideki Maysuyama, a five-time winner.

Oakland A’s podcast with Jerry Feitelberg: Chapman saves the A’s bacon with 2-run bomb; A’s stay 1/2 game up in wild card

On the A’s podcast with Jerry Feitelberg:

#1 The A’s dropped two crucial games — one against Texas last Sunday at the Coliseum and another on Tuesday night in Anaheim. The A’s in never give up style, down 2-1 on Wednesday night in the top of the ninth, got a two-run jack from Matt Chapman his 34th to get the A’s a 3-2 one-run win.

#2 You look at that score last night in Anaheim 2-1 going to the ninth, manager Bob Melvin just had to have that bad feel in his stomach that the club was going to go down three in a row, but these never give up A’s have a hero every night when they win a game.

#3 Talk about A’s starter Frankie Montas’ return back in the rotation. He misses 60 games and he comes back pitches six innings and gives up four hits and an earned run, two walks and six strikeouts.

#4 Jerry talk about the relievers the A’s used four relief pitchers and they held it together to beat the Angels in the Big A. Everybody is up to beat the A’s in the wild card drive and the A’s are doing everything to stay at the top.

#5 A’s are headed for Seattle to open up a four-game series with the Mariners on Thursday, who can be tough customers in their own right. The Mariners, who got two hits and shutout 3-0 on Wednesday night by the Houston Astros, are not too happy and are looking to take things out on the A’s, but the A’s will scratch and claw to try to keep their heads above water in the AL wild card race.
