playoff game, Sunday in Phoenix.
Griner, Mercury rally
to beat Storm, force
deciding Game 5
By BOB BAUM
AP Sports Writer
PHOENIX — Four
times this postseason, the
Phoenix Mercury have
faced elimination.
They’ve won all four
and now it’s on to Seattle
for another one.
Brittney Griner pro-
vided the deciding offense
and necessary defense in
the final seconds as the
Mercury beat the Seattle
Storm 86-84 on Sunday to
force a deciding Game 5
in their WNBA semifinal
series.
The 6-foot-9 center
scored on a short hook shot
with 14.1 seconds to play
then prevented Breanna
Stewart from getting a shot
off before the buzzer as
the Mercury rallied from a
17-point deficit to beat the
Storm in Phoenix for the
second straight time.
The Mercury had to sur-
vive
single-elimination
games against Dallas and
Connecticut just to get to
the Storm, then fell down
0-2 with a pair of losses in
Seattle.
“It’s the team that shows
a lot of heart in every single
one of these games,” Gri-
ner said. “Doing whatever
it is, whoever it is at the
time. At different points of
time different people step
up and make big plays,
hustle plays. I think that’s
what’s giving us that edge
right now.”
Griner had 29 points and
12 rebounds and DeWanna
Bonner scored 21 of her 27
in the second half.
Game 5 will be Tues-
day night in Seattle. Diana
Taurasi, who had 16 points,
is 13-0 in her WNBA play-
off career in winner-take-
all games.
The other semifinal
series, between Atlanta and
Washington, also has gone
to a Game 5.
The Storm lost Sue Bird
with a broken nose with
4:23 left in the third quar-
ter when she took an acci-
dental elbow to the face
from Stewart. Bird, who
has broken her nose five
times, said she will play in
Game 5 with a facemask.
“I think they lost their
leader,” Bonner said.
“However, for her going
out, they still played great
basketball. They were still
making shots. ... They lost
a big part of their puzzle
but they still played great
basketball. They only lost
by two points.’”
Stewart, the WNBA’s
MVP, led Seattle with 22
points.

DUCKS: Defense
showed flashes of quality
Continued from 1B
yards of offense. The Ducks
had 292 yards passing and
212 yards on the ground.
The Ducks utilized a
running attack by commit-
tee. CJ Verdell led Oregon
with 13 carries for 55 yards.
Darrian Felix had eight car-
ries for 38 yards. Travis
Dye had seven carries for
37 yards. Tony Brooks-
James rushed five times
for 27 yards. Cyrus Habi-
bi-Likio had one carry for
five yards and a touchdown.
Oregon’s
defense
showed flashes of quality
throughout the game. The
Ducks forced three turn-
overs, had three sacks and
made seven tackles for a
loss.
Bowling Green did
move the ball on Oregon,
though. The Falcons had
389 yards of total offense,
253 in the air and 136 on
the ground.
“We started off way
too slow,” said linebacker
Troy Dye. “We need to
work on that coming out
of the locker room. But,
we stepped up and handled
adversity well. That’s a big
thing we’re going to focus
on this year.”
Bowling Green caught
Oregon flatfooted out of
the locker room. The Ducks
punted on their first posses-
sion. The Falcons then put
together a 10-play, 42-yard
drive that culminated in a
36-yard field goal by Nate
Needham, giving Bowling
Green a 3-0 lead.
The Falcons continued
to shock the Ducks and the
entire stadium.
After a second consec-
utive Oregon punt, Bowl-
ing Green went up 10-0 on
a 73-yard drive, taking 10
plays. The Falcons pushed
the ball into the end zone
when Jarret Doege con-
nected with Scott Miller
on a 6-yard slant across the
middle.

Ramirez, M’s bullpen shut down Orioles
SEATTLE
(AP)
—
Erasmo Ramirez allowed one
run in 5 1/3 innings, and the
Mariners’ bullpen shut down
the Orioles the rest of the way
in a 2-1 victory Monday.
Ramirez (2-3) allowed
two hits, struck out five and
walked none. The right-
hander is 2-1 in five starts
since coming off the disabled
list on Aug. 12.
Edwin Diaz struck out the
side in the ninth inning for
his 52nd save and 26th one-
run save, both of which lead
the majors. Zach Duke, Nick
Vincent and Alex Colome
combined to pitch 2 2/3
scoreless innings before Diaz
finished off the three-hitter.
Ryon Healy had an RBI
single and Dee Gordon added
a sacrifice fly, both off Josh
Rogers (1-1), who made his
second major league start
and allowed four hits and two
walks in 5 1/3 innings.
The Mariners were com-
ing off a four-game split at
Oakland that dealt a setback
to their playoff hopes. The
Orioles, who have the majors’
worst record, have lost four
straight and 12 of 15.
Jonathan Villar homered
off the right-field foul pole
in the fourth for Baltimore.
Healy tied it in the bottom
of the inning with a single to
center after Rogers walked
Robinson Cano and Nelson
Cruz.

fifth.
ROSTER MOVES
The Orioles recalled
C Chance Sisco and RHP
Jimmy Yacabonis from Tri-
ple-A Norfolk. Sisco was the
DH Monday, going 0-for-
3. Yacabonis entered in the
sixth and did not allow a hit
in 1 2/3 innings.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Orioles: 1B Chris Davis
was a late scratch because of
an illness.
Mariners: LHP Marco
Gonzales (strained neck)
pitched a bullpen session
Monday. Gonzales was
placed on the 10-day DL on
Aug. 27, retroactive to Aug.
24. “Marco may have one
more bullpen outing before
we try to bring him back into
the rotation,” manager Scott
Servais said. DH Nelson
Cruz was in the lineup after
fouling a pitch off his right
ankle on Sunday. “It’s really
sore today, but you can’t keep
that guy out of the starting
lineup,” Servais said.
UP NEXT
RHP Alex Cobb (4-15,
5.11 ERA) will make his 26th
start of the season Tuesday
for the Orioles. Since Aug.
1, Cobb is 2-1 with a 2.66
ERA in six starts, including
a complete-game victory on
Aug. 18. LHP Wade LeB-
lanc (8-3, 3.71) will make his
23rd start of the season for
the Mariners.
BEAVERS: Without Meyer, Buckeyes still rolled
Continued from 1B
on them their last time out, a
69-10 Civil War thumping in
Eugene last November.
The fifth-ranked Buck-
eyes didn’t skip a beat with-
out suspended coach Urban
Meyer. Under acting head
coach Ryan Day, they scored
11 touchdowns — one by
the defense — and punted
only once all afternoon.
“A lot of things the last
month have been out of our
control as players,” said
receiver Terry McLaurin,
who had four receptions for
121 yards and two touch-
downs. “We just wanted to
come out here and do what
we love. We’ve been work-
ing so hard since the spring
to get off on the right foot
and have just been focused
on being 1-0. It wasn’t all
pretty today, but we got our
goal.”
Ohio State accounted for
35 first downs along with
721 yards total offense, and
the latter were evenly spread
— 375 yards rushing, 346
yards passing.
“We played with tempo
today, and we were aggres-
sive,” said Day, nor-
mally Ohio State’s offen-
sive
coordinator.
“We
stretched the field horizon-
tally and stretched the field
vertically.”
In his first start, sopho-
more quarterback Dwayne
Haskins completed 22 of 30
passes for 313 yards and five
touchdowns. Backup run-
ning back Mike Weber, who
gained for more than 1,000
yards two years ago, rushed
for a career-high 186 yards
and three TDs.
“They’re top five in the
country for a reason,” Ore-
gon State linebacker Andrzej
Hughes-Murray
said.
“They’re a big-time team.
They just kept pounding at
us. We had some good plays,
but not enough in the end.”
Oregon State will choose
to focus on the positive,
which mostly happened on
offense.
“To put up 31 points
against a defense like that
says something about what
we can accomplish the rest
of the year,” said sophomore
Conor Blount, who went
most of the way in the first
half at quarterback after an
injury to starter Jake Luton.
The Beavers managed 15
first downs and 392 yards —
196 rushing, 196 passing.
