The Queensland Firebirds are banding together for what could be the last time before cashed-up new Australian franchises begin picking apart their roster ahead of netballs revolution next year.The Firebirds host arch-rivals NSW Swifts on Sunday in the trans-Tasman netball grand final at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre - a rematch of last years decider, when Queensland trailed all match but stole a thrilling victory in the final moments.If the Firebirds can do it again, theyll become the first and only team in history to secure back-to-back trans-Tasman titles.That is enough motivation in itself, but centre Kimberley Ravaillion admits there is another reason to leave it all on the court.In 2017, an eight-team all-Australian league will be launched, with three new franchises backed by AFL and NRL clubs entering the fray - and all are expected to take an aggressive approach to recruitment.Having dominated the competition for the last two years, Queensland will probably be their first port of call - which is what makes Sunday so important.Theres not going to be this competition next year. We want to go out with a bang, Ravaillion told AAP.The team we have is such a special team.(Our success) comes down to our culture, that belief and confidence in each other.We want to finish strong and hopefully with the trophy in our hands.Ravaillion is set to lock horns with NSW veteran Kim Green, who appears back to full fitness after a full 60 minutes in the Swifts semi-final win over the Magic on Monday night.That was her first complete game since partially tearing her ACL back in round five.Despite the seriousness of the injury, Green maintains her knee is stable enough to handle the rigours of a grand final and Ravaillion doesnt expect she will be hindered by it.Im sure she wont feel it. You usually go numb into a match like this with all the adrenaline, she said. Rickey Henderson Jersey .

Johnny Manziel Jersey .ca! Hi Kerry, Heres an interesting one. I know its common knowledge that all players are responsible for their sticks. We witnessed that when Zack Kassian hit Edmontons Sam Gagner in the face after a missed check. ST. LOUIS -- Jedd Gyorko has gotten plenty of big hits during his second-half. He got the biggest hit of his career Saturday.Gyorko connected for a go-ahead home run in the eighth inning, Matt Holliday provided another boost off the bench and the St. Louis Cardinals pushed the playoff race to the final day of the regular season, beating Pittsburgh 4-3.The Cardinals began the day one game behind San Francisco for the second NL wild-card spot. The Giants later hosted the Los Angeles Dodgers.Adam Wainwright is set to start Game No. 162 for St. Louis on Sunday against the Pirates. Either the Cardinals or Giants will play at the New York Mets on Wednesday night in the wild-card game.Gyorkos solo shot came on a 100-mph fastball from Felipe Rivero (1-6). Gyorko became the first Cardinals player to hit 30 homers in a season since Carlos Beltran in 2012.These are exciting games, no doubt about that. To be in a must-win situation, its fun to be out there, Gyorko said.Gyorko has a career high in home runs, with 23 of those coming after the All-Star break.Jedds been so impressive, Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. I mean 30, thats without even being in there every single day.The home run came on the ninth pitch of the at-bat. Three pitches earlier, home plate umpire Alfonso Marquez called ball three on a pitch that the Pirates thought was strike three. Rivero had actually started to walk back to the dugout thinking the inning was over.I think he had strike three and sometimes they dont get called, Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. I think that was the situation that happened.The Cardinals tied it with a three-run sixth, highlighted by Hollidays RBI pinch-hit single. Holliday had a pinch-homer on Friday night after the Cardinals said they wouldnt pick up his $17 million option.Holliday taking that at-bat right there. Im sure he could have hung his hat on that at-bat last night and I think it shows a lot of selflessness thatt he goes right back out there today, Cardinals reliever Trevor Rosenthal said.ddddddddddddKevin Siegrist (6-3) pitched a scoreless eighth. Seung Hwan Oh stranded runners at second and third for his 19th save in 22 opportunities.Rosenthal anchored what became a bullpen game for the Cardinals when starter Michael Wacha was pulled after one inning. Rosenthal, who started the season as the closer, pitched three scoreless innings in relief, striking out four while throwing a career-high 52 pitches.Jung Ho Kangs three-run homer in the first off Wacha was his sixth home run against the Cardinals this season. Kangs eight career homers and 21 RBI against St. Louis are his most against any team in the majors.Pirates starter Chad Kuhl struck out five and gave up two runs in five-plus innings.We had to have extra ordinary effort from our bullpen today and that was just impressive from beginning to end and all the way through, Matheny said. Just overall a great effort from the entire team.JUST MAKING SURECardinals SS Aledmys Diaz hit a ball in the bottom of the first to the same part of the left field wall where Yadier Molinas game-winning double went on Thursday. Originally called a ground-rule double, umpire crew chief Larry Vanover called for a review, which confirmed the call.TRAINERS ROOMPirates: Starling Marte (back) was out of the lineup and isnt expected to play in the season finale on Sunday.UP NEXTPirates: RHP Ryan Vogelsong (3-7, 5.00 ERA) is one strikeout away from No. 900 in his career.
