NSW Swifts have set up a rematch of last years trans-Tasman netball league final with a 64-45 semi-final win over the Magic in Hamilton on Monday.The comprehensive win showcased the Swifts at their best - gritty defence melding with a driving midcourt and finished off by superbly accurate shooting.Apart from a sluggish start, the Swifts dominated every quarter, earning the chance to avenge last years 57-56 grand final loss to the Firebirds.The Magics zone defence worked well in containing the Swifts pacy attacking line in the first stanza, introducing some uncharacteristic hesitation into the front third.Two quick goals in the last 30 seconds gave the Swifts a 16-14 lead at the first break, and the visitors built on that momentum as the second quarter progressed.Goalkeeper Sharni Layton was outstanding in her 100th ANZ Championship game, relentless in harassing Magic shooter Jo Harten, intimidating on the shot and impressive in hunting the ball outside the circle.Turnovers proved costly for the Magic, the home team unable to score from the few they created while the Swifts proved clinical in converting theirs to lead 33-24 at halftime.The Swifts were ruthless in winning the third quarter 16-7 to take a 49-31 lead into the last 15 minutes, easing back in the final stanza to wrap up a comprehensive win.Shooter Caitlin Thwaites missed only three goals over 60 minutes, sinking 43 from 46, ably supported by Susan Pettitts 15 from 19, while Harten led the way for the Magic with 38 from 42.Swifts skipper Kim Green, playing her first full game since injuring her knee in round five, said the Swifts had worked hard to shut down the Magic defensively.We knew we just had to have that defensive pressure, and I think you could see that all over the court, she said.We know how hard it is to ball off teams like this, and we have to make sure we stick to our game plan when we do get those turnovers.Magic captain Leana de Bruin said it was a disappointing way to end the season.We just didnt play our own game tonight, and credit to them - they pushed us into areas we didnt like to be in.They were fast and furious on attack, and we just couldnt stick to them.

CHICAGO -- Two-time NL Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum has accepted a demotion to the Los Angeles Angels Triple-A team.The Angels announced Tuesday that Lincecum plans to report to Salt Lake City this week, where he will be a starter.Its impossible to practice the things hes working on at the major league level, Angels manager Mike Scioscia said before their game against the Chicago Cubs. This is not a trial and error theater here. You have to be able to do it.The Angels designated Lincecum for assignment Saturday after he went 2-6 with a 9.16 ERA in nine starts since signing on May 20 following left hip surgery. The 32-year-old right-hander, who helped the San Francisco Giants to three World Series titles, had the right to refuse a minor league assignment after no other team claimed him off waivers.Lincecum signed a one-year, $2.5 million deal with the Angels after holding a showcase workout in Arizona for most major league teams.Scioscia said Lincecum has to adjust to a loss in fastball velocity.Theres no doubt that it was easier for Tim to get back in counts when he was throwing 95-96, Scioscia said. It was easier for his off-speed pitch to work better when he had the velocity.dddddddddddd He has enough velocity. This guy has not gone from 96 down to 83 mph. This guy is still touching 90, which is plenty and he has deception in his delivery.Hes more command-sensitive now than he was five years ago and thats something that he has to wrap his arms around.Scioscia said right-hander Jhoulys Chacin will take Lincecums spot in the rotation and start Thursday at Cleveland.The banged-up Angels also placed reliever Cam Bedrosian on the 15-day disabled list with tendinitis in his right middle finger. Right-hander A.J. Achters contract was selected from Salt Lake City.Bedrosian had been part of the Angels closer-by-committee with Huston Street on the disabled list.He felt it for about a week and it was something he could pitch with, Scioscia said of Bedrosian. But it flared up the other day. . I dont think hes going to throw for at least a week, so its going to take some time.Los Angeles also claimed left-hander Brett Oberholtzer off waivers from Philadelphia, where he had a 4.83 ERA.Hell fit into our pen, Scioscia said.
