MIAMI -- Brandon Crawford was a big hit Monday night. Seven of them, to be exact.Crawford became the first major leaguer in 41 years to get seven hits in a game, finally putting the San Francisco Giants ahead to stay with an RBI single in the 14th inning of an 8-7 victory over the Miami Marlins.A great performance, said Giants bench coach Ron Wotus, who filled in as manager after Bruce Bochy was hospitalized with an illness.Bochy picked a heck of a day to take off.The previous player to get seven hits in a game was Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Rennie Stennett on Sept. 16, 1975, at the Chicago Cubs. He did it in nine innings, the only big leaguer to accomplish that feat since before 1900.It doesnt happen very often that you get eight at-bats in a game so I figured it didnt happen a whole lot, but you dont think about stuff like that when youre playing, Crawford said.The San Francisco shortstop, who entered in a 6-for-36 slide, raised his batting average 13 points to .278. He tripled, doubled and had five singles in eight at-bats, tying the NL record for hits in a game.I got a couple to drop in and squeak past and then I hit a few balls hard, too, that found holes, Crawford said. I felt good.The seven hits set a franchise mark.Its crazy to me, Crawford said. The history of the Giants with all of the great players that have come through, you would think that somebody pushed across seven hits in one day, but its pretty crazy to be in pretty small company.Crawfords hits came off six different pitchers.What do you have to do to get that guy out? I dont know, Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. We didnt figure it out today. Hes a tough out right now and obviously, when youre getting seven hits, youre feeling pretty good about yourself. So Im sure this whole series, its not going to be fun trying to get him out.The only major league player besides Stennett to get seven hits in a nine-inning game was Wilbert Robinson for the old Baltimore Orioles of the National League in 1892.Johnny Burnett holds the major league mark for an extra-inning game with nine hits for Cleveland in a 1932 contest that lasted 18 innings.George Kontos (3-2) pitched two scoreless innings to earn the victory.Relievers dont get measured on wins and losses for the most part, but to be out there in a game like that and be able to throw the final pitch and stamp my name on a win like that -- it was just a gutsy, gritty game, Kontos said.The Giants were without Bochy, admitted to a Miami hospital in the morning after feeling ill. He was to be monitored overnight and is expected back on the bench Tuesday night.San Francisco went 6 for 21 with runners in scoring position and left 18 on base in a game that took 5 hours, 34 minutes -- the longest of the season for both teams.Exhausting, Crawford said. Im tired right now.Andrew Cashner, Miamis scheduled starter for Friday, entered in the top of the 14th to face Crawford with two on and he lined a single to center field that scored Brandon Belt for an 8-7 lead.I try to take every at-bat separate whether Im 0 for 4 with four strikeouts or 6 for 7, Crawford said. I was just trying to get the runner in any way I could.Christian Yelich homered and tied a career high with four RBI for the Marlins. Martin Prado also went deep and drove in two runs. They hit back-to-back homers in the fifth.San Francisco threatened in the 13th when Crawford hit a one-out triple off Dustin McGowan (1-3). After the second out, Mattingly intentionally walked two batters to get to the pitchers spot in the order.The Giants were out of position players, leaving ace pitcher Madison Bumgarner, a .183 hitter with legitimate power, to pinch-hit with the bases loaded. He struck out to end the inning.The Marlins took a 5-1 lead into the seventh behind a solid outing from Jose Fernandez, who allowed one run in six innings.The Giants scored five times in the seventh off three relievers and started the inning with six consecutive hits on their way to a 6-5 lead.Miami responded with Yelichs two-run single. Crawfords single in the eighth tied it at 7.We bounced back, Mattingly said. They bounced back and from there it was crazy after that.Giants starter Johnny Cueto allowed five runs in five innings.WAY TO GO, ICHIROMarlins outfielder Ichiro Suzuki received a standing ovation before his pinch-hit appearance in the sixth after getting his 3,000th career hit Sunday in Colorado. Suzuki tipped his helmet in appreciation before grounding out in his only at-bat.TRAINERS ROOMGiants: OF Hunter Pence fouled a ball off his eye on Saturday. He was given a day off Sunday and was back in the lineup Monday. Hes fine, Wotus said.Marlins: 1B Justin Bour (ankle) has taken a break from his rehab stint, citing soreness, but could return to the big league club on this homestand, which ends Sunday. Were hopeful, but its probably a 50-50 thing, Mattingly said.UP NEXTGiants: LHP Matt Moore (7-7, 4.04 ERA overall) makes his second start with the Giants on Tuesday after being acquired in a trade with Tampa Bay.Marlins: RHP Tom Koehler (8-8, 4.05) is 2-0 with a 0.90 ERA in his last three starts. Cheap Mariners Jerseys Authentic . -- In a span of seven Washington Redskins offensive plays, Justin Tuck sacked Robert Griffin III four times. Wholesale Mariners Jerseys .com) - The Edmonton Oilers and Vancouver Canucks both take aim at their first wins of the season on Saturday, as the Canucks open their home slate at Rogers Arena. http://www.cheapmarinersjerseys.com/[/... . -- Ty Montgomery had 290 all-purpose yards and two touchdowns, and fifth-ranked Stanford held on to beat No. [url=http://www.cheapmarinersjerseys.com/]Cheap MLB Jerseys Authentic . I cant pinpoint a date, but I do remember a player from my youth. Brian Downing was with the Chicago White Sox at a time when I listened to every game I possibly could on the radio. That particular season the late great Harry Caray was calling the White Sox games. Cheap Mariners Jerseys China . Jane Virtanen scored two, and Alex Roach and Elliott Peterson rounded out the offence for the Hitmen (40-15-6). Brady Brassart chipped in with three assists. Colton McCarthy scored twice, Brayden Point had a goal and two assists, and Jack Rodewald also scored for the Warriors (15-35-9), who were 2 for 5 on the power play. AUBURN, Ala. -- Before the Auburn Tigers even started fall camp, amid already diminished expectations, they lost their most productive player.Tigers coach Gus Malzahn dismissed tailback Jovon Robinson hours before the first practice, leaving a team already seeking a quarterback with another significant void in the backfield.How well those two jobs get filled will go a long way toward deciding whether Auburn and Malzahns fast-paced offense rebound strongly or continue going in the wrong direction.Malzahn said the leadership is as strong as any team hes had. Theyve got a chip on their shoulder and theyve got something to prove, he said.That starts with the offense, which ranked 110th in passing offense and 94th in total yards thanks largely to the struggles of quarterbacks Jeremy Johnson and Sean White. The result was just a pair of Southeastern Conference wins two seasons after winning a league title and making the national championship game.Robinson emerged as the top runner late in the season though Peyton Barber topped 1,000 yards. Malzahn did not elaborate on the reasons for his dismissal, but it leaves sophomore Kerryon Johnson as the only returning back who logged a carry last season. Fullback Kamryn Pettway has moved to tailback, and Johnson is joined by freshman Kam Martin, a late addition who was released from his scholarship with Baylor.Weve been one of the better rushing teams in our league, I guess, for six years and well continue to be that, Malzahn said.Theyre going to need to be strong on the ground again with no established quarterback and having to replace two of the top three players in an already-thin receiving corps.Defensively, the line is well-stocked with highly rated recruits, including tackle Montravius Adams and end Carl Lawson, who has star potential but has battled injury problems. Guards Alex Kozan and Braden Smith anchor the offfense.ddddddddddddGraduate transfer T.J. Neal, who started 25 games for Illinois the past two seasons, joins Tre Williams at linebacker. Safety Rudy Ford has led the Tigers in tackles two straight years and cornerback Carlton Davis had a promising freshman season.SEASON OPENEROpening with national runner-up Clemson and quarterback Deshaun Watson, a Heisman Trophy finalist, is a huge challenge for a team trying to rebuild in a number of areas. The good news is its the first of five straight home games.WHOS THE QB? Junior college transfer John Franklin III is trying to challenge Johnson and White, who both had uninspiring stints as the starter last season. Franklin is the biggest running threat, but never won the starting job at either Florida State or junior college and has little experience. Multiple receivers from a strong signing class at the position will also have to step up in the passing game.STEELES DEFENSEKevin Steele is the teams third defensive coordinator in as many years and fourth in five seasons. The veteran former LSU, Clemson and Alabama coordinator is one of five new assistants on Malzahns staff.PREDICTIONThe Tigers have been at their best when outsiders arent expecting much from them -- and at their worst when theyre drawing loads of preseason buzz. After two straight disappointing seasons, they fall in the former category now while picked toward the bottom of the SEC West. There are a few games that seem like toss-ups, but 7-5 seems like a reasonable outcome. To blow past that win total would require improved quarterback play from last season and strides from the defense, plus the emergence of Kerryon Johnson or another tailback as a reliable go-to runner.---AP college football website: collegefootball.ap.org Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale NFL Jerseys Jerseys From China Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
