WINNIPEG -- The Winnipeg Blue Bombers not only finally won at Investors Group Field, they did it by smothering the leagues leading offence with a 25-13 defensive upset of the Saskatchewan Roughriders Sunday. Stan Mikita Jersey . The Riders couldnt score a touchdown and were held to a single point in the second half. Quarterback Darian Durant was sacked eight times as the Bombers fed off 33,500 screaming fans in what is known as the Banjo Bowl, a follow-up to the Labour Day weekend game the teams play. Saskatchewan won that one 48-25 last Sunday. "I took my headset off a few times just so I could just relish the crowd noise," said a smiling head coach Tim Burke. After the game, the Bombers announced they had traded veteran quarterback Buck Pierce to B.C. for non-import receiver Akeem Foster. They said Pierce, who has been on the injured list for much of this season, wouldnt be available until Monday to discuss the move back to the team he left to join Winnipeg in 2010. "Buck has been a true warrior and a consummate professional during his time Winnipeg and we sincerely thank him for his four years of service to our organization," said acting general manager Kyle Walters in the release. They might not have wanted the news to overshadow what was for the struggling team (2-8) a major accomplishment as it tries to rescue this season. "When youre playing against the No. 1 team in the league and defensively we come out and play like that, it just speaks (volumes) about what we can do as a defence," said cornerback Jovon Johnson. "I said this on week two, this could be one of the best defences in the league if we just stick together and play and we showed that tonight man," said Demond Washington, who recovered a fumble and had one of Winnipegs sacks. Will Ford and quarterback Justin Goltz scored touchdowns for the Bombers, while Sandro DeAngelis added a field goal and picked up a single on a miss. It was a complete reversal of last weeks 48-25 loss in Regina with the Riders (8-2) only points coming from four Chris Milo field goals and a single. Goltz and the offence struggled in the first half but found more life in the second and Burke gave new offensive co-ordinator Marcel Bellefeuille credit for some halftime adjustments. For Goltz, making his second straight start after last weeks 48-25 loss in Regina, it was also sweet. "We needed this so bad, our city needed it and our fans needed it," said the quarterback, who Burke said will likely start the next game as well. For Durant, it was a crushing loss after what has up until now been a tremendous season. "Youve got to give those guys a lot of credit they played at a level that we just didnt match today," said the veteran. "In front of their home crowd, a game they really, really wanted, and they went out and got it." As for how the Winnipeg blitz seemed able to shred the Riders offensive line, he said they will dissect what went wrong by looking at recordings of the game. "Ive got to give a lot of credit to (defensive co-ordinator) Casey (Creehan)," said Burke. "He came up with a really good blitz plan against these guys." Burke also praised his secondary, which has received a lot of criticism lately. He said he knew the defence was tired because of the time they spent on the field in the first half. The Bombers had the ball for only about three minutes in the first quarter. "In the fourth quarter we just asked them to gut it out," Burke said. The Winnipeg offence struggled at first but the stingy defence and special teams kept the Bombers alive, despite a slew of penalties. Goltz threw his first pick at 1:35 and managed only two complete passes out of seven tries and 12 yards in the entire first half. He finished the game with eight completions out of 17 tries and 129 yards. Durant completed 15 of 35 but managed only the same 129 yards. The loss leaves the Riders tied with the Calgary Stampeders for the lead in the West Division and the CFL. Milo scored first for Saskatchewan. The only touchdown of the first half came on a 98-yard kickoff return by Ford, making his debut as a starter at tailback for an injured Chad Simpson, just over six minutes into the first quarter. Milos next two field goals gave the Riders a 9-7 lead until Bombers defensive back Marty Markett recovered a fumbled punt return. Goltz connected with a diving Clarence Denmark in the end zone but the ball hit the ground first and it was ruled incomplete. Winnipeg had to settle for a field goal and a brief 10-9 lead but Milos fourth put the Riders back on top 12-10 as the half ended. In the third quarter, Saskatchewan took a couple of costly penalties that killed an interception and set up Winnipegs second touchdown of the game on a three-yard run by Goltz to make it 17-12. Saskatchewan picked up a single on a punt but then a Durant fumble at the end of the third quarter set up Goltzs second touchdown of the game at the opening of the fourth to make it 24-13. It capped a six-play 62-yard drive that was Winnipegs most solid of the game to that point. DeAngelis missed at 40 yards and settled for a single to finish the scoring. Goltz threw only one interception and Durant added another to make his season total two.

Argentina, who have yet to beat New Zealand in 17 meetings, rocked the All Blacks with an early converted try to backrower Juan Manuel Leguizamon and led 7-0 after five minutes. But Smiths double in the 23rd and 26th minutes - when Argentina was reduced to 14 men by the sin-binning of hooker Eusebio Guinazu - turned the tide of the match and set up New Zealands third straight Championship win. http://www.officialblackhawksfanstore.com/authentic-brendan-perlini-blackhawks-jersey/ .

BALTIMORE -- Nelson Cruz and the Baltimore Orioles had the good fortune of avoiding Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer during the regular season. Or maybe it was the other way around. In his 2014 debut against the hard-hitting Orioles, Scherzer found out quickly that a poor pitch can go a long way -- in the other direction. Cruz and J.J. Hardy homered, and Baltimore hammered out 12 hits in defeating Scherzer and the Detroit Tigers 12-3 Thursday in the opener of their AL Division Series. I just left too many pitches up, Scherzer said. This is a great-hitting ballclub. You give them a chance to extend their arms, they can really hit it. Jonathan Schoop and Alejandro De Aza each had two hits and two RBIs for the Orioles, who turned a close game into a rout with an eight-run eighth inning against Scherzer and three ineffective relievers. The 12 runs set a post-season record for Baltimore, making its second playoff appearance since 1997. Game 2 of the best-of-five series is Friday at Camden Yards. Justin Verlander, the second of three straight Cy Young winners the Orioles will face, is set to go against left-hander Wei-Yin Chen. Verlander must avoid the mistakes made by Scherzer, who allowed five runs and seven hits in 7 1-3 innings. The right-hander was 18-5 during the regular season, but in this one he was burned by the long ball and outpitched by the Orioles. Ive got to find a way to get the ball down, Scherzer said. I wasnt quite able to do that tonight, and I paid for it. Cruz led the majors with 40 homers during the regular season, a good portion of Baltimores big league-best 211 long balls. His first-inning drive off Scherzer put the Orioles up 2-0 before Detroits Victor Martinez and J.D. Martinez connected off Chris Tillman in the second to tie it. But Baltimore had too much firepower for the Tigers. Hardy led off the seventh by driving a poorly thrown changeup from Scherzer over the centre-field wall for a 4-2 lead. The one that stings is that J.J. Hardy home run, Scherzer said. That home run really changed the game in my eyes, gave them that insurance run. Cruz added his third RBI with a single during a wild eighth inning keyed by a Detroit error that kept the boisterous, orange-clad crowd of 47,842 on its feet. Five different Orioles finished with two hits. Clearly, facing Scherzer was not too daunting a task. Its the same game, De Aza said. Yes, this is a good pitcher, but its the same game. You have to throw the ball to home plate for a strike to get us out. Tillman (1-0) allowed two runs in five innings before Andrew Miller got five outs -- three by strikeout. Darren ODay ggave up an eighth-inning homer to Miguel Cabrera, but the drive followed a double play. Keith Magnuson Jersey. Orioles manager Buck Showalter then called upon closer Zach Britton, who had 37 saves during the regular season. Britton got the last out in the eighth, and by the time the ninth inning rolled around, he wasnt needed anymore. Miller had a 1.35 ERA in 23 games with Baltimore, ODay finished at 1.70 and Britton closed at 1.65. Thats one big reason why the AL East-champion Orioles were 80-4 when leading after eight innings. Meanwhile, Detroits revamped bullpen looked shaky -- although it was shortstop Andrew Romines error that got the big eighth inning going. I cant remember the last time he made an error at shortstop, Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. This was an unfortunate one, but it doesnt change my mind on him as a shortstop. Although he had a 5.56 ERA in the first inning during the regular season, Tillman began his initial foray into the playoffs in impressive fashion by striking out the side on 14 pitches. Cruz hit an opposite-field drive to right in the bottom half after Nick Markakis hit a leadoff single. It was his 15th career post-season home run, tied with Babe Ruth for 10th place on the career list. Its just I like to enjoy this moment, you know, Cruz said. I think as a player, you want to be in the situation. And, you know, its no reason. The rollicking, towel-waving fans had barely settled down when Victor Martinez led off the second with a towering shot over the right-field wall. Four pitches later, J.D. Martinez hit a tying homer in his first post-season at-bat. Nick Markakis answered with an RBI single in the Baltimore half. At that point, six of 10 batters reached safely against Scherzer. After yielding the back-to-back homers, Tillman retired the next 11 batters before Romine singled with two outs in the fifth. Another single and a walk loaded the bases for Torii Hunter, who hit into a fielders choice on Tillmans 105th and final pitch. Afterward, Showalter saluted the crowd for their enthusiasm. If you dont get that, youre too cold for his game, he said. I wish I would have had a towel. TRAINERS ROOM Tigers: CF Rajai Davis (pelvic strain) was cleared to play after passing a series of drills early in the day before rosters were finalized. Davis started and batted ninth. UP NEXT Tigers: Verlander (15-12, 4.54 ERA) makes his 16th post-season start following what Ausmus called a down season overall for the 2011 Cy Young Award winner. Orioles: Chen (16-6, 3.54) seeks his first win since Sept. 15 after losing his final two starts in the regular season. ' ' '
