6B / SPORTS / MONDAY, AUGUST 23, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM BASEBALL MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE Chicago Cubs manager Lou Piniella thanks the cheering crowd for their acknowledgement during an emotional moment at Wrigley Field in Chicago, on Sunday. The Cubs lost to the Atlanta Braves, 16-5. Lou Piniella announces retirement after 48 years ASSOCIATED PRESS CHICAGO — Lou Piniella waved goodbye Sunday, bowing as out the Cubs' manager and ending a career that spanned five decades after the Atlanta Braves routed Chicago 16-5. The 66-year-old Pinielia announced before the game that he leaving to be with his ailing mother. Third base coach Mike Quade was promoted to interim manager. The disappointing Cubs weren't able to send Piniella out as a winner. Omar Infante and Jason Heyward each hit a pair of home runs, and the Braves scored 11 times in the last three innings to break away. Piniella was in the dugout when the game was over, and he waved his hat to longtime Braves manager Bobby Cox across the field. Cox plans to retire after the season. Piniella hugged Cubs third baseman Aramis Ramirez before heading down the dugout tunnel to the clubhouse. After contemplating the decision for several days and discussing it with Cubs general manager Jim Hendry, Piniella decided to walk away from baseball after 48 years as a player, manager and executive. The surprising announcement came in a team handout in the morning, and after Piniella had repeatedly insisted he would finish the season. "My mom needs me home and that's where I'm going," Piniella said. The loss left the Cubs at 51-74. Atlanta held its lead in the NL East. Piniella and Cox were honored before the game as they exchanged lineup cards at home plate. Piniella and theumping crew posed for a picture. He shook hands with Cox, and they hugged each other and exchanged back staps as Piniella's No. 41 was posted on the center-field scoreboard. Cox made his last trip as a manager to Wrigley Field. He was announced to the crowd and took his cap off and waved it to the fans. Braves starter Mike Minor (2-0) set a team rookie record by striking 12 in six innings. The lefth allowed three runs and six hits. Heyward and Infante each finished with four hits, drove in four runs and scored four times. It was 5-3 before the Braves scored four runs in the seventh, five more in the eighth and twice in the ninth. The Cubs have lost six of their last seven. Randy Wells (5-12) took the loss. Rookie Cubs shortstop Starlin Castro finished 4 for 5 with two doubles. Buchholz continues his hot streak and leads Sox past Blue Jays 5-0 BASEBALL ASSOCIATED PRESS BOSTON — Clay Buchholz pitched six innings of five-hit ball to lower his AL-best ERA to 2.26 and Bill Hall hit a two-run homer as the Boston Red Sox beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-0 in a rain-delayed game Sunday. The game began 1 hour, 44 minutes late and was stopped for 59 minutes by more rain with two outes in the top of the third of a scoreless tie. That delay didn't bother Buchholz, who needed just two pitches after play resumed to end the inning by retiring Adam Lind on a fly ball to left field. It was typical of the way Bucholz (15-5) has been pitching lately. He began the day with a 2.36 ERA and extended his streak to 23-2-3 innings without allowing an earned run. He won his fifth consecutive decision and gave up three runs or less for the 15th time in his last 16 starts. He allowed just five hits for the third straight game, struck out seven and walked three. Shaun Marcum (11-7) retired Boston's first 12 batters after pitching a one-hitter in his previous game, a 3-1 win at Oakland last Monday night. That hit was a homer by Conor Jackson leading off the seventh. On Sunday, the Red Sox unleashed their power in the fifth. David Ortiz led off with a triple to left-center that center fielder Vernon Wells, shaded toward right field, couldn't reach despite a hustling attempt. On the next pitch, Adrian Beltre lined a double to left, scoring Ortiz. Marcum set down the next two batters before Hall hit a towering shot over the left field wall on a 2-1 pitch for his 17th homer of the year. The righty then retired seven of his remaining eight hitters and left after the seventh. He gave up four hits with six strikeouts and no walks. Jason Frasor took over in the eighth and allowed two runs on a run-scoring double by Ryan Kalish and an RBI single by Ortiz. The Blue Jays couldn't get going offensively even after Buchholz left. Daniel Bard worked the seventh and Felix Doubront, who entered with a 3-0 lead, worked the last two innings for his second save in three opportunities. Toronto managed six hits, all singles, and had its best chance in the first. Fred Lewis led off with a walk and took third on Jose Bautista's one-out single. But Buchholz ended the threat with an infield popup and a groundout. He struck out the side in the second, when he allowed a walk and a single, and fanned two more batters in the third. He struck out Lyle Overbay leading off the fourth and allowed his next runner on a single by Jose Molina to start the fifth. But a flyout and a double play ended that inning. COLLEGE FOOTBALL Questions arise for UFC right before season begins MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE LOS ANGELES — USC Coach Lane Kiffin hoped to have some answers Saturday after the Trojans scrimmaged for the final time before their Sept. 2 opener at Hawaii. But questions abounded. For example: What's going on with the offense? On a day when USC did not tackle to avoid injuries, Matt Barkley had a pass intercepted and returned for a touchdown. Mitch Mustain had two passes intercepted, one in his debut against the first-team defense. The offense also fumbled twice but recovered the ball. "Ugly," said Mustain, who also passed for two touchdowns. Kiffin, who doubles as the Trojans' play-caller, praised the defense but was most happy that no player emerged injured. With less than two weeks before the Trojans depart for Honolulu, Kiffin is still in search of a starting tailback, a No. 2 receiver and healthy guards for the offensive line. He might push it based on Kiffin's assessment of the position group. "Nobody's the starting tailback" he said. Sophomore receivers Brice Butler and DeVon Flourny both made impressive one-handed touchdown catches in their bids to start opposite senior Ronald Johnson. Kiffin noted both plays, but wants more consistency from a group that also includes freshmen Robert Woods and Markeith Ambles. "Too many mistakes," Kiffin said. "We play too slow." Meanwhile, the defense looked fast and dominating behind a front seven that included junior Chris Galippo working as the first-unit middle linebacker. Cornerbacks Sharecee Wright and Torin Harris, freshman safety Dion Bailey and defensive lineman Hebron Fangupo intercepted passes. Wright, who returned his 35 yards for a touchdown, said the Trojans' defense was coming together but was eager to play a real opponent.
