OAKLAND, Calif. -- Josh Reddick has never hit a hole-in-one while golfing, so hes counting this one.He had an RBI single in the third for Oakland in a 4-2, 10-inning loss Saturday night for one of his career-high matching four hits. But his double in the fifth that got stuck in the outfield wall and wasnt ruled a ground-rule double but rather a dead ball, preventing a run from scoring.It was very frustrating. Could have won the game, Reddick said. Over the years Ive obviously seen (the hole) but never really paid attention to it. After it happened I went out there and it was literally a three-inch gap to put a baseball in. Never hit a hole-in-one before even in golf so I guess this is going to have to count.David Freese hit a go-ahead single in the top of the 10th inning and Gregory Polanco added an insurance RBI single.Erik Kratz led off the inning with a single against Daniel Coulombe (1-1), Jordy Mercer sacrificed him over and Freese singled to left. As left fielder Coco Crisp threw out Freese at home on Adam Fraziers single moments later, and the play was upheld on an umpire review.Juan Nicasio (6-6) struck out two in the ninth for the victory, then Mark Melancon allowed a pair of singles before finishing for his 23rd save as the Pirates won for the sixth time in eight games after dropping eight of nine.Pittsburgh also has won the last three meetings against the As after losing the initial 11.The As wished they hadnt had the bad luck on Reddicks double.Ive never seen that happen here before, manager Bob Melvin said. I dont know what to say. Its very unfortunate because its definitely a run.As reliever Ryan Madson had runners on second and third in the ninth following a double steal but retired Sean Rodriguez on a popup and induced Josh Harrisons groundout. The Pirates challenged whether Danny Valencias throw from third to first was in time, but the call was confirmed in 1 minute, 55 seconds.Harrison hit an RBI double and Starling Marte a run-scoring single in the fourth as Pittsburgh tied the game at 2.The fourth inning I didnt make pitches, I didnt execute. That falls completely on my shoulders, As starter Rich Hill said. I just have to make better pitches in that inning. Other than that I felt good.Mercer led off the game with a double on a ball that got lost in the sun and dropped in shallow right field between three As players.Hill came off the disabled list to strike out six while pitching four-hit ball over six innings in his first outing since May 29 after being sidelined with a strained left groin. He had a five-start winning streak since losing May 1 to Houston.Hill allowed two runs on four hits and walked two, limited to 83 pitches based on how much time he missed.Pirates right-hander Chad Kuhl gave up seven hits and two runs, struck out two and didnt walk a batter in six innings. It was his second major league start after beating Clayton Kershaw and the Dodgers in his debut -- and he got the nerves and any awe factor out then.Crisp hit his 300th career double in the third and extended his hitting streak to nine games.The As ended a stretch of hitting a home run in a season-best 10 straight games, playing their first extra-inning game at home after 60 without one since Aug. 18 last year against the Dodgers.TRAINERS ROOMPirates: RHP Gerrit Cole (triceps strain) shadow threw in the bullpen a day after a simulated game. ... The Pirates have gone a week without a roster move. Shhh, shhh, manager Clint Hurdle said. Its been welcome.Athletics: Oakland agreed to terms with versatile, 17-year-old Cuban OF Lazaro Armenteros on Saturday. He receives a $3 million signing bonus. The As also agreed to terms with Dominican players 3B George Bell, SS Marcos Brito, SS Yerdel Vargas, and CF Kevin Richards. All of the new acquisitions will report to the clubs Dominican training facility and later to Arizona for instructional league this fall. Organizationally, its a big day, Melvin said.UP NEXTPirates: In his last start against the As, Sunday starter LHP Francisco Liriano (4-8, 5.33 ERA) pitched seven scoreless innings in a 5-0 win on July 10, 2013.Athletics: RHP Daniel Mengden (1-3, 2.81) makes his fifth big league start and is coming off his first major league win last Monday at San Francisco. He is the eighth pitcher in Oakland history to allow three or fewer runs in each of his initial four starts. Luke Kuechly Womens Jersey .

Brian Burns Panthers Jersey . How great will be revealed in the next couple of days at the board of governors meeting in Pebble Beach, Calif. After the culmination of some extraordinary efforts from teams all around Europe, we now have our final four assembled for Fridays matches.Despite a particularly weak first game where Misfits was gifted a win in the opening series against GoogleIshetZont, the team crawled out of Group B on top and will face the loser of Group A, Fnatic, in the playoffs. While Misfits may have the higher seeding, this matchup could easily go to Fnatic. Misfits was anything but unbeatable Thursday; constantly failing to read situations properly, and even letting an early game boss sneak up to their keep just eight minutes into the first match of the day. Misfits will have to continue to capitalize on its enemies mistakes if the team expects to push into the finals.Even though GoogleIshetZont was the first team knocked out of the tournament, it can head home knowing full well what needs to be worked on. While the team was able to jump out to early leads in multiple games thanks to some impressive shotcalling, GoogleIshetZont torpedoed any shot at an upset thanks to some odd in-game decisions. While plays like the one that Vlad Sphyxi Trofimov made, in which he chose to engage a level down against Misfits during the tribute, was impressive, the team didnt put together a consistent tournament performance.ExcelenteEleccion, a rag-tag band of former Heroes of the Storm pros from multiple disbanded teams, have shown that even a scattered roster can still put up an incredible ffight.dddddddddddd While it may have been eliminated from the tournament during group play, the team had a dominant series against The Jabronis, winning 2-1 in a nail-biting set that had momentum swinging moments at nearly every turn. Despite the epic opening matches, ExcelenteEleccion still struggled when squaring off against the upper echelon of the competition, finding themselves quickly 2-0d by Misfits. That forced ExcelenteEleccion into a losers rematch against The Jabronis, with the end result not nearly as favorable as their first matchup, losing 1-2 and getting eliminated in another neck-and-neck series by the upstart organization.Speaking of The Jabronis, the team performed admirably considering it had been together for less than a month. While the first best-of-three series against ExcelenteEleccion went awry, two of the three matches in the series could have gone either way, as ExcelenteEleccion narrowly pulled out the victory. Despite the early loss, the Jabronis pulled it together and had the mental fortitude to rebound from the poor performance, securing victories over GoogleIshetZont and ExcelenteEleccion in succession, thus claiming the final playoff spot.The final day of the competition begins Friday, as Misfits, Team Dignitas, Fnatic and The Jabronis will square off for the European Fall Regional #2 crown.
