He drilled a 1-0 pitch over the left-center field fence for a grand slam home run, the first of the year hit by the Dragons.
In the top of the fourth,Nike Giants 26 ROLLE Blue Women Game Jerseys, the score was tied 4-4 when Dayton s Humberto Valor doubled over the head of the center fielder with the bases loaded to drive in two runs in what became a three-run inning as the Dragons took a 7-4 lead.

Tyler Goeddel, representing the potential winning run, hit a deep drive to right field that was caught by Matthews on the warning track to end the game.
Alejandro Chacin (2-2) pitched two scoreless innings of relief to earn the win. Dragons starting pitcher Sal Romano battled after allowing a three-run first inning to give the club four innings of work, allowing four runs on four hits with five walks and four strikeouts.

7/5/2013 8:15:00 AMNot filling each waking moment "enriching' the kids? Relax, it's OK
By Jeff EdelsteinColumnistSee, the way it used to be, didn t matter much what you did with your kids. Keep em upright and don t let them swallow nickels, and you were GTG. Good to go.From my life files: I grew up comfortably upper middle class, but outside of a few months of Little League baseball, I was on my own as far as fun went. My parents weren t dragging me left, right and center. In fact, my strongest memory revolves around Sunday mornings,NBA Caps-212, being allowed to sit in the front seat for the drive over to Pete s Stationary Store where my dad would buy the Sunday paper. As far as the rest of the big jumble of memories of my parents? Pretty straightforward: They were around.But you know what wasn t around? The feeling of having to fill each and every waking moment of your child s life with enriching activities. For real, and I know current parents are nodding their heads: If you don t take your six-month old to the Six Month Old Chinese Language/Music with Apple Baked Goodness and No Peanuts Were Used In Making This Announcement class you are a bad, bad, terrible, horrible parent who should be sent to a remedial parents class taught by the overly fertile insane mother on 19 Kids and Counting. Can t just let the kids veg in front the TV for fear you ll be found out by the local Mom s Club, who will then tell the non-local mom s clubs about your aberrant behavior, and next thing you know, while their little Jocelyn learned to crochet in the original French style, your kid is still eating yarn and you re shunned from the parents gabfest at the park.If I m sounding a little crazed, I ll tell you why: It s because I tried to do the right thing, tried to coddle my little darlings and all it got me was a stern talking-to from the missus after I damn near popped a gasket explaining what, exactly, happened.And what happened? Ugh. I was playing Mr. Mom during a time I don t usually play Mr. Mom, my daughter pitched a fit at a music class, my son pitched a fit during a healthy attempt at lunch, and then I pitched a fit when I dropped them off with my wife. Details? Would fill a book. But they don t really matter. It was just one disaster after another.But the point is this: If I had gone with my gut instinct - namely, turn on Nick Jr. or Sprout and let them watch a little TV and play while I sat on the couch and surfed the web - everyone wouldn t been perfectly happy.But I couldn t do that. I felt compelled to enrich the little buggers, if for no other reason I knew other parents were out there enriching their little buggers, even though I knew deep down the only reason they re running around and enriching is because they think everyone else is willingly and happily running around and enriching, when in fact the only reason this frenzied enriching is going on is because we re all fearful we, as parents, will be ostracized for not trying super-duper hard to enrich our children. Two things: 1) I ve come to hate the word enrich and 2) see what s going on up there? It s a vicious circle. A vicious enrichment circle. We all think we re lousy parents if we re not doing every last activity with our kids,City gives property owners time to repair sewage leaks Hawaii News, Honolulu, Ho, and all these activities drive us and our kids nutso.Again, think back to your childhood: It was not like this,49ers 21 Gore black united sideline Jerseys, and we turned out just fine. In fact, if you really think about your youth,Microsoft puts an end to MSN TV (formerly WebTV), it s not the things your parents did with you that stick out; it s almost the opposite. Just being there, just being around - or, conversely, not being around - are the things that stand out.And with that 20/20 hindsight, my kids and I would ve had a much happier and less hectic time the other day if we just hung out with each other, watched some TV, played some Darth Vader and stuffed animals, and forgot about what every other overextended parent and child was up to.Or maybe I m just a lousy parent. Who knows. All I know is I can t crochet, and I don t care.Jeff Edelstein is a columnist for The Trentonian.

Lisicki and Bartoli reach Wimbledon final

7/4/2013 7:02:00 PMLisicki and Bartoli reach Wimbledon finalCHRIS LEHOURITESAP Sports Writer
LONDON (AP) Sabine Lisicki advanced to her first Wimbledon final a couple of hours after Marion Bartoli reached her second.
Lisicki, a 2011 semifinalist at the All England Club,Is car culture coming to an end in Seattle- 0, beat fourth-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska 6-4, 2-6, 9-7 Thursday on Centre Court, overpowering her opponent at the start and then hanging on despite trailing 3-0 at the end.
I go out there to win, said Lisicki, the first German to reach the Wimbledon final since Steffi Graf in 1999. I fight for every single point and I still enjoy the game, so I think those are the main parts why I won today.
Bartoli took control early and never let up in a quick 6-1, 6-2 victory over Kirsten Flipkens. She also reached the Wimbledon final in 2007, losing to Venus Williams in straight sets.
Saturday s final will be the second at Wimbledon in the 45-year Open era between two women who have never won a Grand Slam title. Lisicki has a 3-1 record against Bartoli, including a quarterfinal win at Wimbledon in 2011 in their last meeting.
Lisicki, who beat defending champion Serena Williams in the fourth round, dictated play in the first set by winning 22 of her 30 points on serve and breaking once. But her serve deserted her after that.
Once the second set started,Minnesota Vikings 4 Favre camo Jerseys, Radwanska came alive and Lisicki crumpled.
Lisicki lost all four of her service games, with the lowlight coming in the final game of the second set. Leading 30-0, Lisicki lost four straight points, including two double-faults.
She made some really good points. I made a few errors too many, Lisicki said. But I regained my focus and game in the third set, and that s the main part.
In the third, Lisicki was again broken early but finally held to make it 3-1 and then broke to get back on serve. Both players held serve until Lisicki got the deciding break in the 15th game when Radwanska hit a volley long.
It s just one break, Radwanska said. She was serving very well. So the one break on one side was a lot, and on other hand was not really.
A few minutes earlier, Radwanska had been two points from victory. The two were at 30-30 and later at deuce in the 12th game with Radwanska leading 6-5.
I had a lot of chances. Just two points from the match, Radwanska said. Then she serve second serve like 100 miles per hour. Then, you know, it just turned the other way.
Lisicki said her big win over Serena Williams helped her Thursday.
I thought, I ve done it against Serena so you can do it today as well, just hang in there, Lisicki said. It gave me so much confidence and I m just so, so happy I was able to finish it.
Lisicki finished the match, but one of the two scoreboards on either side of the court didn t, going blank late in the third set.
Bartoli wasted little time in her match, dancing and grunting her way to victory over the 20th-seeded Belgian who was playing in her first major semifinal.
I played great. I executed very well. I hit lobs, passing shots, winners, returns,Osvaldo Alonso a hero for Cuban players (Monday links), everything worked out perfectly, said Bartoli, who won in 62 minutes. When I fell on the grass after match point, it was just so emotional. I dreamed about that moment, about returning to the Wimbledon final.
Amelie Mauresmo,Not filling each waking moment -enriching' the kids- Relax,, the 2006 Wimbledon champion who now coaches France s Fed Cup team, was in the stands for the early match and had plenty of praise for Bartoli.
She just played a great match, definitely the best match of the tournament for her, Mauresmo said. Marion put huge pressure on her right from the beginning, first of all returning very well, serving better, which she had to do today.
Bartoli was pumped from the start on Centre Court, mixing two-handed backhands and forehands with little hops between points, as she usually does.
In the first set, she faced only one break point, nearly putting Flipkens back on serve in the third game. But despite a double-fault and a backhand into the net to eventually get behind 30-40, Bartoli dug herself out of the hole and finished the game with the first of her five aces.
I tried my slices. She didn t have any problem with that, Flipkens said. I tried the drop shot. She got it. I played a passing, she came to the net. I tried a lob. I tried everything, actually.
Flipkens, who again took the court with her right knee taped, called for a trainer after being broken for the second straight time at the start of the second set. The trainer added tape to the knee while Bartoli sat in her chair sipping water.
Whatever she needed, it briefly worked. Flipkens, after the medical timeout, broke for the first and only time,NIKE Ravens 5 Flacco Purple Signature Edition Jerseys, making it 3-1. But a few minutes later Bartoli broke again and held to make it 5-1.
First of all, I m not going to use it as an excuse, that s for sure. I mean, Marion played an amazing, good match, Flipkens said. But I fell in the first set. Straightaway I didn t feel anything, but I fell on my bad knee. At that moment I didn t feel it, but a couple of games later I started to feel a really sharp pain like I had four weeks ago.
Bartoli is now 2-1 in Grand Slam semifinals with both wins at Wimbledon. Six years ago, she beat another Belgian, top-seeded Justine Henin, in the semifinals. But then she ran into Venus Williams, who that year won the fourth of her five Wimbledon titles.
On Saturday, Bartoli will be on relatively equal footing against Lisicki.
It s a good opportunity. She has experience at least, Mauresmo said of Bartoli. Maybe it s going to help her for the final.</body></html>
