C... Montreal Canadiens Jerseys . Pittsburgh has taken the last two tests with New York after losing Mondays series opener and is coming off Wednesdays 9-3 pounding behind starter Kevin Correia, who became the majors first eight-game winner with six innings of two-run ball and four strikeouts. In all my starts weve done well, said Correia, who posted his seventh win on the road. Ive never felt that urgency to throw a shutout every time. I knew we were hitting the ball hard and I knew if I could hang in there long enough we would get the win. Lyle Overbay and Xavier Paul both had two hits and an RBI, while Andrew McCutchen recorded three hits and a run scored for the Pirates, who have won two straight and four of six games since a three-game slide. The Bucs won a season-best four in a row before losing three straight. After todays game the Pirates will return to the Steel City for a 10-game homestand versus the Phillies, Diamondbacks and Mets. They have won six of their last eight road games and have gone 17-14 as the guest this season. Pittsburgh was 17-64 on the road a year ago and learned that catcher Ryan Doumit will miss at least a month with a non-displaced fracture in his left ankle. He was placed on the disabled list Monday. Pittsburghs starting pitchers have gone 13 games in a row without allowing more than two earned runs, posting a 7-3 mark and a 1.67 ERA over that stretch. Paul Maholm will try to add to that solid showing when he gets the nod Thursday in the finale of a seven-game road trip (4-2). Maholm ended a five-start (0-4) winless drought his last time out in a 10-0 drubbing of the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field on Saturday, tossing his first shutout of the season and third in his career. He scattered three hits, struck out four batters and did not allow a walk to improve to 2-7 in 11 starts with a solid 3.18 ERA. The lefty, who is just 1-3 in five road starts this season, is 3-3 with a 4.60 ERA in eight career starts against the Mets. New York has lost eight of its last 11 games and fell to 2-4 on a 10-game homestand following Wednesdays 9-3 loss. Justin Turner homered and both Carlos Beltran and Daniel Murphy provided two hits apiece for the Mets, who received another rough outing from starter Chris Capuano. Capuano was tagged for five runs and eight hits in six innings to fall to 3-6 on the season. Pedro Beato gave up three in the seventh inning. Im running out of ideas, here. Do we play hard? Absolutely. Thats not the issue, Mets manager Terry Collins said. Its about execution. The Mets are 11-8 in their last 19 home games and 12-16 as the host overall. They ended a 10-game drought without a home run on Turners blast, ending the clubs longest stretch without a homer since going 17 games in 1980. Beltran is still 10 RBI shy of 1,100 in his career. New York will also host Atlanta for three games over the weekend and is expected to have shortstop Jose Reyes back in the lineup after he went on the bereavement list following the death of his grandmother in the Dominican Republic. Reyes leads the Mets with a .335 average. Mike Pelfrey will take the mound for the Mets tonight and is 0-1 with a 3.48 ERA in his last three starts -- all New York losses. Pelfrey pitched well for a no-decision in Saturdays 5-2 loss versus Philadelphia and limited the rival Phillies to a pair of runs in 7 2/3 innings with six Ks on a season-high 116 pitches. Pelfrey is 3-4 with an even 5.00 ERA in 11 starts this season and has enjoyed success against the Pirates, going 3-1 in four career starts. The right-hander is also 2-0 in five starts at Citi Field this season. New York won six of seven meetings with the Pirates a year ago, with Pelfrey on the winning end of two of those contests. . France also turned in a strong performance in the other Group A match, scoring two second-half goals within four minutes to win 3-1 against Ghana. Spain opened the scoring when Deulofeu fires a shot across the goal mouth and Jese volleyed the ball into the net in the fifth minute.

Marcus Denmon netted 17 points and Matt Pressey chipped in 15 points for the Tigers (10-0), who last won their first 10 games of the season during the 1991-92 campaign. Delbert Love led all scorers with 27 points for Kennesaw State (2-6).

Though Mizzou snapped back to attention to go ahead 26-21 on a Dixon bucket, Love hit a three-pointer to give the Owls a 29-28 lead with 7:25 to go in the half. Missouri responded, though, and outscored Kennesaw State 19-4 -- which included a Pressey layup at the first-half buzzer -- the rest of the way to take a 47-33 advantage into the locker room. "We were sluggish at first, and Coach Haith always tells us were going to get a teams best shot. [url=http://www.shopnflonline.net/Black-Friday-Kansas-City-Chiefs-Alex-Smith-Jer... Smith Black Friday Jersey[/url]. They came out on their toes more than we did. We got a few defensive stops that ignited our offense, and that helped us to finish strong," Dixon said. The Tigers jumped on Kennesaw State in the second half and led by as many as 39 before cruising to an easy win. A Dixon jumper made it a 21-point bulge with 12:51 to go, and the 30-point barrier was breached on a Pressey free throw for an 87-57 game inside of six minutes to play. The Tigers defense forced 19 total turnovers including 14 steals. They shot 60 percent from the field and held a 62-26 advantage in the paint.
