\n

Diego Valle<\/a> (SR\/Yucaipa, Calif.) and Alex Hamer<\/a> (SR\/Solihull, England) provided the heroics for the University of Jamestown men\u2019s soccer team Tuesday night as the Jimmies defeated Waldorf (Iowa) University 4-3 in non-conference action at the Jimmie Turf Field.<\/p>\n

Valle\u2019s goal with 51 seconds remaining gave the Jimmies a 4-3 lead, then Hamer stopped a penalty kick with 1.9 seconds left to seal the victory.<\/p>\n

Jamestown, now 4-4-2 this season, returns to conference play on Wednesday at Presentation (S.D.) College.<\/p>\n

Hendrik Romahn<\/a> (JR\/Osterburg, Germany) scored off a rebound in the third minute for the first goal of the match, and UJ held a 1-0 lead until Daniel Pinkney leveled for the Warriors in the 44th minute.<\/p>\n

Aaron Pike<\/a> (SR\/Milton Keynes, England) (57th minute) and Taylor Lubungo<\/a> (FR\/Goma, D.R. Congo) (66th) helped the Jimmies to a two-goal lead, but Lucas Berte brought Waldorf within a goal in the 70th minute, and Daniel Burko got the match-tying goal in the 82nd.<\/p>\n

Romahn played the ball from 10 yards beyond midfield to Valle, and Valle got past his defender. The Waldorf keeper came straight at Valle for a challenge, but the Jimmie striker got around the keeper\u2019s left side and put the ball in the net.<\/p>\n

The Warriors turned on the offensive pressure on the next possession, and the Jimmies were whistled for a handball in the 18-yard box with 1.9 seconds on the clock. Hanibal Abraha took the spot kick and tried to go to Hamer\u2019s right side, but Hamer was able to stretch out and knock the shot away. Abraha got the rebound and appeared to score the tying goal, but the officials ruled time had expired and the goal was no good.<\/p>\n

Shots were 18-15 in favor of Waldorf, as were shots on goal (13-10). Keanan Ainge<\/a> (FR\/Cambridge, England) made five saves in the first half for UJ, and Hamer had five saves after coming on after halftime.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

MLB-AL WILD CARD<\/p>\n

Bosox whip Yanks, advance to face Rays<\/p>\n

BOSTON (AP) \u2014 The Boston Red Sox have earned themselves a few days in Florida.<\/p>\n

The Bosox have moved into the AL Division Series by thumping the Yankees, 6-2 in the wild-card game. Xander Bogaerts (BOH’-gahrts) and Kyle Schwarber belted early homers and Alex Verdugo drove in three runs to back a sterling performance by Nathan Eovaldi (eh-VAHL’-dee).<\/p>\n

Bogaerts set the tone with a two-run homer in the bottom of the first, two innings before Schwarber’s solo blast. Verdugo padded Boston’s lead with an RBI double and a two-run single.<\/p>\n

Eovaldi allowed a run and four hits while striking out eight over 5 1\/3 innings, blanking New York until Anthony Rizzo homered in the sixth.<\/p>\n

Gerrit Cole was pulled with two on and no out in the third, charged with three runs and four hits.<\/p>\n

Giancarlo Stanton had three of New York’s six hits, including a ninth-inning homer.<\/p>\n

The ALDS begins Thursday in St. Petersburg as the Bosox take on the league-leading Tampa Bay Rays.<\/p>\n

Rookie Shane Baz (bahz) will take the mound for Game 2 on Friday night. Depending on bullpen use in the opening two games, manager Kevin Cash said Drew Rasmussen is the \u201chighly likely\u201d Game 3 starter.<\/p>\n

In other playoff news:<\/p>\n

\u2014 Astros left-hander Framber Valdez will start Game 2 of the ALDS against the White Sox, following Game 1 starter Lance McCullers Jr. Valdez won a career-high 11 games this season with 125 strikeouts and a 3.14 ERA in 22 starts.

The defending champion Dodgers currently have more than three times the payroll of the Rays, the team they beat in last year\u2019s World Series. The Dodgers had a major league-high $260.9 million payroll on Aug. 31.<\/p>\n

Rockies work out deals with Senzatela, Cron<\/p>\n

UNDATED (AP) \u2014 The Colorado Rockies have agreed to deals with right-hander Antonio Senzatela and first-baseman C.J. Cron.<\/p>\n

NBA-NEWS<\/p>\n

Irving misses 1st practice after Nets return to New York<\/p>\n

UNDATED (AP) \u2014 Kyrie Irving didn\u2019t practice with the Brooklyn Nets on Tuesday, again remaining away from the team amid questions about his availability to play in New York because of the city\u2019s vaccine mandate.<\/p>\n

Coach Steve Nash had no further update about the status of his All-Star guard but said the team supports him.<\/p>\n

Irving hasn\u2019t said if he has been vaccinated against COVID-19, asking for privacy when pressed about his status during the team\u2019s media day on Sept. 27. He wasn\u2019t with his teammates that day at Barclays Center, instead appearing via Zoom.<\/p>\n

New York has a mandate requiring COVID-19 vaccinations for athletes who play in or practice in the city.<\/p>\n

Also in the NBA:<\/p>\n

\u2014 Pau Gasol (pow gah-SAWL\u2019) has announced his retirement from basketball, ending a career of more than two decades that earned him two NBA titles and a world championship gold with Spain\u2019s national team. The 41-year-old Gasol had already announced his farewell from international basketball in August after Spain lost to the United States in the quarterfinals of the Tokyo Olympics. Gasol won his two NBA titles with the Lakers.<\/p>\n

\u2014 Tuesday’s exhibition game between the Bucks and Grizzlies in Memphis was suspended after three quarters when a fire alarm went off, leading to evacuation of FedExForum. The Grizzlies were leading 87-77 in the preseason opener for both teams. Officials said the problem was a false alarm caused by a sprinkler in a non-public area.<\/p>\n

NFL-NEWS<\/p>\n

Chiefs adding wide receiver Josh Gordon to 53-man roster<\/p>\n

UNDATED (AP) \u2014 The Kansas City Chiefs are adding Josh Gordon to their 53-man roster and the wide receiver is expected to play in Sunday night\u2019s AFC title game rematch against the Buffalo Bills.<\/p>\n

The Chiefs signed Gordon to the practice squad last week with the assumption that he would join the active roster when he learned enough of the playbook. He had just been reinstated by the NFL following his sixth suspension for violations of league policies. The Chiefs hope his size and athleticism provide another option alongside Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelce in their passing offense.<\/p>\n

In other NFL news:<\/p>\n

\u2014 The Cowboys are releasing linebacker Jaylon Smith in what could be considered a cost-cutting move because of a guaranteed salary next season in the case of an injury.

\u2014 Jaguars owner Shad Khan has publicly reprimanded head coach Urban Meyer for what he called \u201cinexcusable\u201d behavior at an Ohio bar over the weekend. Meyer\u2019s actions were captured on video and released on social media, one showing a young woman dancing close to Meyer\u2019s lap as he sits on a bar stool. A second, more damning video appears to show Meyer touching the woman\u2019s behind.<\/p>\n

\u2014 A person with knowledge of the deal says the Dolphins have traded wide receiver and returner Jakeem Grant to the Bears. Grant for a sixth-round pick in the 2023 draft.<\/p>\n

NCAA waiver will help football teams replace transfers<\/p>\n

UNDATED (AP) \u2014 The NCAA Division I Council has approved a one-year waiver that will allow football teams to sign up to seven players to replace those that leave the program. The move is intended to address a growing number of transfers.<\/p>\n

Current NCAA rules state a team can sign no more than 25 players to a scholarship in any year. But more players are switching teams and a bonus year of eligibility was granted to athletes who competed during the pandemic last year. That has coaches worried they will not be able to replenish their rosters.<\/p>\n

LONG BEACH, Calif. (AP) \u2014 Federal investigators say a ship\u2019s anchor may have hooked, dragged and torn a massive underwater pipeline that spilled tens of thousands of gallons of crude oil into the water off Southern California. They also say the pipeline owner didn’t quickly shut down operations after a safety system alerted to a possible spill. The weekend spill sent up to 126,000 gallons of heavy crude into the ocean off Huntington Beach and will close beaches and stop local fishing for weeks. Questions remain about the timeline of the spill. The Coast Guard says a commercial ship reported a possible spill Friday night and later reports followed but the agency waited until sunrise Saturday to investigate.<\/p>\n

WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 President Joe Biden\u2019s and congressional Democrats\u2019 push for a 10-year, $3.5 trillion package of social and environmental initiatives has reached a turning point. Biden has been repeatedly conceding that the measure will be much smaller. Democrats say he’s recently discussed a $1.9 trillion to $2.3 trillion price tag. That represents an effort by Biden to push his party beyond months of stalemate and refocus bargainers on nailing down the policy and fiscal decisions that will be needed to succeed. There’s been no agreement on a final figure and plenty of other unanswered questions remain, along with the possibility of failure.<\/p>\n

(AP)\u00a0 The Biden administration is moving to relax the rules for a student loan forgiveness program that has been criticized for its notoriously complex requirements. The change could offer debt relief to thousands of teachers, social workers, military members and other public servants. The Education Department said Wednesday it will temporarily drop some of the toughest requirements around the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, which was launched in 2007 to steer more college graduates into public service. Through October 2022, public servants with any type of federal student loan or repayment plan will be eligible for loan forgiveness if they have made 10 years of payments.<\/p>\n

VATICAN CITY (AP) \u2014 Pope Francis has expressed \u201cshame\u201d for himself and the Roman Catholic Church for the scale of child sexual abuse within the church in France. The pope spoke during his Wednesday regular audience at the Vatican about a report released a day earlier that estimated some 330,000 French children were abused by clergy and other church authority figures dating back to 1950. He expressed \u201csadness and pain for the trauma that they suffered\u2019\u2019 and shame over \u201dthe incapacity of the church for too long to put them at the center of its concerns.\u201d The pope also expressed his \u201ccloseness and paternal support\u201d to French priests in the face of a \u201cdifficult test.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

STOCKHOLM (AP) \u2014 Two scientists have won the Nobel Prize for chemistry for finding an \u201cingenious\u201d new way to build molecules that can be used to make everything from medicines to food flavorings. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said Wednesday that the work of Benjamin List of Germany and Scotland-born David W.C. MacMillan has already had a significant impact on pharmaceutical research and made chemistry \u201cgreener.\u201d Making molecules requires linking individual atoms together in specific arrangement. It is a difficult and slow task. Until beginning of the millennium, chemists had only two methods to speed up the process. That all changed in 2000, when List and MacMillan independently reported that small organic molecules can be used to do the same job as big enzymes and metal catalysts.<\/p>\n
