SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The World Series is tied at two games apiece after the San Francisco Giants turned an early 4-1 deficit into an 11-4 pounding of the Kansas City Royals. Pablo Sandoval singled home a pair to snap a 4-4 tie and spark a three-run sixth. Joe Panik added a two-run double while the Giants scored four times in the seventh to go ahead 11-4.
LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Mississippi State was a winner in its first game since climbing to the top of The Associated Press college football poll two weeks ago. Dak Prescott accounted for three touchdowns and Josh Robinson rushed for two TDs to lead the Bulldogs’ offense in a 45-31 win against Kentucky. Prescott ran for TDs of 2 and 11 yards, and hit Brandon Hill for an 8-yard TD.
BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — No. 3 Mississippi has fallen from the unbeaten ranks with a 10-7 loss at LSU. Ole Miss was lining up for a potential tying field goal from 42 yards, but was called for delay of game just before Bo Wallace’s pass was intercepted by Ronald Martin with two seconds left. Anthony Jennings’ short touchdown pass to tight end Logan Stokes gave the Tigers the lead late in the fourth quarter.
CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cavaliers have exercised the fourth-year contract option on guard Dion Waiters. The fourth overall pick in the 2012 draft by Cleveland, Waiters will start in the Cavs backcourt with Kyrie (KY’-ree) Irving. The Cavs were expected to pick up the option worth $5.1 million on Waiters, who averaged 15.3 point last season.
ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. (AP) — There’s a two-way tie for the lead after the third round of the PGA’s McGladrey Classic in South Carolina. Andrew Svoboda and Will MacKenzie each finished play at 12-under-par. MacKenzie earned his share of the lead by shooting a 5-under-65, while Svoboda shot a 4-under-66.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Conley Wilkens scored a fourth quarter touchdown – after a 70-yard drive – to lift Drake over Butler 21-19 on Saturday. Drake (5-3, 4-1 Pioneer Football League) won its 19th straight league home game. Butler (3-5, 1-4) took a 17-14 lead late in the third quarter on Sam Schrader’s 9-yard touchdown run. They recovered an on-sides kick, but Jon Treloar missed a 47-yard field goal. Drake then marched down the field, going 70 yards in 12 plays, culminating with Wilkins’ 2-yard score.
Andy Rice’s 22-yard first quarter touchdown pass to Lee Snell gave Drake a 7-0 lead. Butler responded with Malcolm Weaver’s 4-yard scoring toss to Brando Collins in the second. Treloar hit a 22-yard field goal and Butler led 10-7 at intermission.
Butler was driving midway through the third, but Drew Ormseth picked off Weaver and went 30 yards for the score as Drake went up 14-10.
MACOMB, Ill. (AP) – David Johnson rushed for 160 and two touchdowns to lead Northern Iowa to a 27-13 victory over Western Illinois on Saturday. Brion Carnes added 239 through the air with one score, a 20-yard pass to Chad Owens midway through the second quarter. Kevin Vereen Jr. caught six passes for 84 yards to lead the Panthers in receiving.
Michael Schmadeke kicked two field goals for the Northern Iowa (4-4, 2-2 Missouri Valley) who opened the game on a 20-0 scoring streak before eventually taking a 27-7 lead late in the fourth. Northern Iowa forced three turnovers, including two interceptions by Max Busher and Deiondre’ Hall.
Trenton Norvell led Western Illinois (3-6, 1-4) with 310 yards passing, including scoring strikes to Hi-C Scott and Quadarias Mireles of 32 and 44 yards, respectively.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — University of Iowa football player Reggie Spearman has been arrested on suspicion of drunken driving, leading coach Kirk Ferentz to announce a minimum one-game suspension for the linebacker. Iowa City police records show the 19-year-old was arrested just after midnight Friday on suspicion of operating a vehicle while intoxicated. Spearman was booked into jail around 1:30 a.m. Saturday and later released.
Ferentz said in a statement Saturday that he was disappointed to hear of the charge against Spearman and that team officials will “work with authorities in gathering all the facts.” Ferentz said that Spearman will face consequences other than the suspension, but did not provide details.
The Hawkeyes had a bye week, and host Northwestern next Saturday.
Today (Saturday), marks the start of the pheasant hunting season in Iowa. Mick Klemesrud, a spokesman for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, says weather conditions should be ideal for hunters this weekend, though there will be challenges. “We’ve got a lot of crops still out in the field and that could cause a little bit of tougher hunting if there’s a lot of standing corn for the birds to escape to,” Klemesrud says. “On the flip side of that, it could provide some better late season hunting because the birds haven’t been hunted that much.” He’s hopeful the number of hunters on opening day will be up this year after a drop in 2013.
“We’re hopeful that we can hit 60,000,” Klemesrud says. “Last year was our lowest on record of about 41,000. Traditionally, back in the late ’80s and ’90s, we’ve had opening day numbers around 200,000. We used to call it the largest sporting event in the state. We’re hoping that some of them come back.” Hunters should always get permission from land owners to hunt on their property. Klemesrud has some other safety tips.
“We always want to stress blaze orange, knowing the zone of fire, stay in a straight line, talk to everybody in the hunt so they all know what their role is and where there zones of fire are going to be,” he says. “You always want to be seen in the field. Go beyond the minimum. Wear as much blaze orange as you can.” The DNR says there was one hunting-related injury during the pheasant season last year.

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Cardinals ace Adam Wainwright has undergone what the team describes as minor elbow surgery that should not set him back for next season. The Cardinals say Friday’s operation was an arthroscopic procedure to trim a small piece of cartilage from the right elbow. The 33-year-old Wainwright is expected to begin physical therapy in two weeks and resume his offseason throwing program in eight weeks.
General manager John Mozeliak and manager Mike Matheny made no mention of the injury at a news conference to review the season earlier this week. Wainwright went 20-9 with a career-low 2.38 ERA in 32 starts this season. The team says an initial MRI came back negative, but Wainwright requested additional tests and the findings of a second MRI resulted in the decision to operate.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Jeremy Guthrie pitched shutout ball into the sixth inning, Lorenzo Cain drove in an early run off Tim Hudson and made a pair of nifty catches, and the Kansas City Royals beat the San Francisco Giants 3-2 Friday night to take a 2-1 World Series lead. Cain’s RBI groundout three batters in put the Royals ahead, and Kansas City expanded its lead to 3-0 in the sixth when Alex Gordon hit an RBI double off Cain and scored on Eric Hosmer’s single off left-hander Javier Lopez.
