BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota Sen. Heidi Heitkamp says she’ll vote against Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination. Heitkamp cited temperament while also saying she believes a woman who accused him of sexual harassment. The vote may reshape Heitkamp’s tight race with Republican Kevin Cramer in a key Senate race.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Republican Kevin Cramer’s hopes for helping his party pick up a critical Senate seat in North Dakota are tied tight to President Donald Trump. Cramer says he’s “100 percent” with Trump on policy _ a savvy bet in a state Trump carried by 36 points two years ago and where he remains popular. Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp is arguing the state needs someone who isn’t “going to just follow the herd.”
BISMARCK, N.D.

The Environmental Law and Policy Center and Dakota Resource Council question the true size of the project. But the judge says plans that the company has sworn to are for a project small enough that it doesn’t need a state site permit.

Jamestown 3 Minot State 2
Jamestown (uj.edu) The 13th-ranked University of Jamestown men’s hockey team earned its first win of the season Thursday evening at Wilson Arena, defeating No. 2 Minot State University 3-2.
Cole McKechney (JR/Calgary, Alberta)’s power play goal at 5:51 of the third period broke a 2-all tie and proved to be the game-winner for Jamestown (1-2-0-0).
The Jimmies and Beavers (1-2-0-1) traded goals in the first period, with the visitors getting on the board for a 1-0 lead at 8:46 of the period. Davis Sheldon tallied his second of the season as Minot State took the early momentum.
Jamestown took advantage of a Minot State penalty for the equalizer as Phoenix McElroy-Scott (SR/Morden, Manitoba) scored on the power play from Michael Pruss (JR/Red Deer, Alberta) at 18:07.
Dylan Johnson’s power play goal 2:28 into the second period put Minot State back in front 2-1. Just over seven minutes later, Trevor Okino (JR/Richmond, British Columbia) and Dylan Haney (SO/Brandon, Manitoba) assisted on Cameron Todd (JR/Burraneer, Australia)’s first of the year to make it 2-2.
Allan Pruss (JR/Red Deer, Alberta) and Okino helped create McKechney’s scoring chance as he came on the ice during a line change. The puck found McKechney’s stick and he wasted no time in putting it past the Beavers’ goaltender.
Tyson Brouwer (JR/Lethbridge, Alberta) stopped 27 of the 29 shots he faced. The Jimmie goaltender made 12 saves in a busy second period to keep the game from getting out of reach.

MLB PLAYOFFS-BREWERS-ROCKIES
Brewers blow lead in 9th, win anyway
MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Milwaukee Brewers were within three outs of a 2-0 victory in Game 1 of the National League Division Series. Instead, they had to wait an inning before pulling out a 3-2 win over the Colorado Rockies.
Mike Moustakas (moos-TAH’-kahs) bailed out Jeremy Jeffress and the Brewers with a walk-off single in the bottom of the 10th. MVP candidate Christian Yelich (YEH’-lihch) opened the rally with a walk and moved to second on a wild pitch, but the losing pitcher Adam Ottavino was one out from getting out of the jam until Moustakas delivered.
Yelich was 2-for-3 with a two-run homer and two walks. He went deep in the third inning to put Milwaukee ahead, 2-0.
Colorado managed just one hit through the first eight innings off four members of Milwaukee’s bullpen before Gerardo Parra, Matt Holliday and Charlie Blackmon hit consecutive singles against Jeffress to make it a 2-1 game. Nolan Arenado (ar-eh-NAH’-doh) knotted the score with a sacrifice fly.
Manager Craig Counsell sent nothing but relievers to the mound. Brandon Woodruff didn’t allow a hit over the first three innings before he was replaced by Corbin Burnes. The no-hitter continued until Carlos Gonzalez laced a two-out triple off Burnes in the fifth.
Joakim Soria worked the 10th to pick up the win.
Game 2 is Friday at Milwaukee’s Miller Park. Jhoulys Chacin (zhoo-LEES’ shah-SEEN’) is the Brewers’ scheduled starter against Tyler Anderson.

NFL-PATRIOTS/COLTS
Brady hits milestone with 3 more TD tosses
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Tom Brady reached yet another NFL milestone while leading the New England Patriots to their second straight win since a 1-2 start.
Brady’s third and final touchdown pass of the night was also the 500th of his career as the Patriots downed the Colts’ 38-24. The 41-year-old quarterback reached the milestone by hitting Josh Gordon for a 34-yard score with 9:19 remaining, giving New England a 31-17 lead. It came 3 ½ minutes after Andrew Luck found Eric Swoope for a 13-yard score to get Indianapolis within seven points.
Brady also ran for a TD and was 34 of 44 passing for 341 yards and two interceptions. He tied former teammate and Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri for most NFL victories with 226.
Sony Michel carried 18 times for 98 yards and James White had 10 receptions for 77 yards. Michel put the game out of reach with a 34-yard TD burst with just over seven minutes to play.
Luck was 38 of 59 for 365 yards, two touchdowns and a pair of interceptions for the 1-4 Colts.

UNDATED (AP) — The Pittsburgh Penguins have opened their NHL schedule by knocking off the team that bounced them from the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs last May.
The Penguins coughed up a 6-4 lead late in the third period before Kris Letang (leh-TANG’) notched a power-play goal at 1:20 of overtime to lift Pittsburgh past the Stanley Cup-champion Washington Capitals.
Evgeni Malkin scored 2:45 into the third period to give the Pens a two-goal lead, but T.J. Oshie (OH’-shee) tied it by scoring twice in a :21 span.

Connor Hellebuyck (HEH’-leh-BUHK’) made 41 saves and Adam Lowry scored while short-handed to spark Winnipeg’s three-goal flurry in a 1:44 span early in the third period.
— Third-period goals by P.K. Subban (SOO’-ban) and Colton Sissons pushed the Predators past the Rangers, 3-2. Filip Forsberg also tallied and Sissons set up Subban’s tiebreaking goal with 16 ½ minutes remaining.
— Patrick Kane delivered an overtime goal to send the Blackhawks past the Senators, 4-3. Alex DeBrincat (deh-BRIHN’-kat), Jonathan Toews (tayvz) and Brent Seabrook also scored for Chicago.
— The Blue Jackets also won it OT as Artemi Panarin (ahr-THE’-mee pah-NAH’-rihn) provided the game-winner midway through the extra session to complete a 3-2 triumph over the Red Wings. Detroit had five players make their NHL debuts, the most in a league game since the 1985 Wings.
— The Islanders beat the Hurricanes, 2-1 on Josh Bailey’s power-play goal 43 seconds into overtime. Thomas Greiss (grys) handled 45 shots and was perfect until Jordan Staal beat him with 1:35 left in regulation.
— Carl Soderberg and Mikko Rantanen each had a goal and an assist in Colorado’s 4-1 verdict over the Wild. Rantanen also made a nifty pass for Nathan MacKinnon’s game-winner, snapping a 1-1 tie midway through the second period.
— Jim Montgomery was a winner in his NHL coaching debut as Ben Bishop handled 30 shots in the Stars’ 3-0 shutout of the Coyotes. Devin Shore, Alexander Radulov (RAD’-yoo-lahv) and John Klingberg scored less than two minutes apart in the second period to support Bishop’s 25th career whitewash.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Senate is poised to take a crucial vote Friday on whether to advance Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination to the Supreme Court as key Republican senators remain undecided amid allegations of sexual misconduct and intense protests that have divided the nation.
The 53-year-old judge made what were in effect closing arguments by acknowledging that he became “very emotional” when forcefully denying the allegations at a Judiciary Committee hearing last week.
WASHINGTON (AP)Democratic Sen. Chris Coons, who helped broker a deal with Republican Sen. Jeff Flake that led to an expanded FBI background investigation of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, says he doesn’t know how Flake or the other undecided senators will vote.
Coons, of Delaware, told ABC’s “Good Morning America” Friday that his undecided friends are not returning his phone calls, “and that typically is a way a senator tells you they’re busy deciding.”

He said Germany believes, based on its own sources, that “with almost absolute certainty that the Russian military intelligence agency is behind the APT28 campaign.”
Advanced Persistent Threat 28 is another term used to describe the Sofacy or Fancy Bear hacking group.
Seibert said Germany believes successful attacks “could directly threaten free society, public safety and in principle our democracy” and urged Russia “to meet its responsibilities and cease such actions.
