PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Rhode Island coach Dan Hurley knew the Rams were in for a tough one against Providence, which had won the matchup of cross-state rivals six straight times.He didnt see this coming, though.Kyron Cartwright, who had made four 3-pointers all season, hit four of five from beyond the arc in the first half. The Providence point guard finished with 19 points and eight assists to lead the Friars to a 63-60 victory over No. 21 Rhode Island on Saturday.Thats sports, and thats the type of thing that makes coaches go gray and lose their hair, Hurley said after his team lost for the third time in four games. Four 3-pointers in seven games and he made four today -- all in the first half.Rodney Bullock scored 17 points for the Friars (6-2). Cartwright had 15 in the first half and Jalen Lindsey scored nine of his 13 points in the second, five during a 7-0 run that erased a seven-point deficit.My teammates were telling me, `You need to take those shots to open up the defense, Cartwright said. (And) we dont shoot the ball to not make it.Hassan Martin had 14 points and 17 rebounds for Rhode Island (5-3), which lost at unranked Valparaiso and Providence a week after falling to No. 1 Duke. E.C. Matthews scored nine points and went 1 for 8 from 3-point range, airballing a 3 with 2 seconds left with a chance for the Rams to tie it.Games like this might help us down the stretch, Martin said. `So you just tell everybody to keep their head up.The Rams led 47-40 with 12:15 left when Cartwrights arm appeared to catch Christion Thompson in the left eye. Thompson went to the court, flailing his arms in the air looking for a call, but the teams played on until Lindsey hit a 3-pointer to make it a four-point game at 11:00.Lindseys free throws brought the Friars within two points, and Ryan Fazekas scored on a fast-break goaltending call to tie it. From there, there were three more ties and kept the game within one possession until Lindsey hit a fallaway jumper with 43 seconds left to give Providence a 59-55 lead.We beat a tournament team today, Providence coach Ed Cooley said.POLL IMPLICATONSIt will be difficult for Rhode Island to stay in The Associated Press Top 25 after its stumbles.Hurley said he isnt concerned.The goal at the beginning of the season was to win the Atlantic 10 and play in the NCAA Tournament.Thats all still in play.We expect to have a long and great season. Nothings changed for us, he said. We lost two tough road games in a long season.BULLOCKS BOUNCE-BACKBullock scored a career-high 36 points against New Hampshire on Wednesday, but he missed all three shots from the field in the first half and had only three points on six free throws at the break.Cooley told him not to worry about the shooting and to try to make something happen with rebounding or defense.Somebody coming of a great scoring game like he did theres going to be a lot of attention on him, Cooley said.

NEW YORK -- For most of the season, the offense was under-whelming for the New York Yankees.Recently, the offense has picked up and because it has, the Yankees are in the midst of a race for a wild card spot in the American League.After two extremely productive showings at the plate, the Yankees will attempt to have another and inch closer in the race Sunday in the finale of a three-game series with the Baltimore Orioles.In the two games, the Yankees have put up some big numbers. They have 27 runs, are hitting .429 and are 14-for-27 with runners in scoring position in this series.The productivity continued Saturday with a 13-5 win when rookie Gary Sanchez reached 11 home runs faster than any player. Sanchez did it in his 23rd game when he connected off Dylan Bundy in the fourth inning.Its unbelievable, Yankees shortstop Starlin Castro said. I think that he is impressive. Its fun to watch. Every time he goes to the plate, we feel like something is going to happen in a good way and its really fun to watch.Castro also homered and had four hits, while every starter had a hit and five had multiple hit games.Because of the energized offense featuring Sanchez in the middle of the lineup, the Yankees are 2 1/2 games out of the second wild card spot.They were 5 1/2 games out on Aug. 1 after completing a sell-off that netted 11 prospects and led many to believe the season was over.I told you we were here to win games and I really liked some of the things we did bringing up some of the young kids, Yankees manager Joe Girardi said.I thought they could help us. I know that obviously we traded our leading RBI and home run guy and two really good relievers. But I still felt there was enough talent in that room to win and we need to continue to do it.While the Yankees seem to be gaining momentum with each win, things seem to be slipping away from the Orioles, especially on the mound.After allowing 18 hits in consecutive games for the first time since August 1993 and 13 runs in consecutive games for the first time since May 2011, the Orioles have a 4.52 ERA, which an offense with 202 home runs cant compensate for.Baltimore has lost eight of its last 12 games since Aug. 15, when it last held any share of first place. The Orioles have allowed eight runs in five of their last nine games and have an 8.23 ERA since Aug. 17.Whats going on right now doesnt surprise anybody, Baltimore manager Buck Showalter said. Theyre all challenging times and our guys always respond well.The Orioles had the offense by hitting five home runs.ddddddddddddChris Davis homered twice and Mark Trumbo added his 39th, but it was hardly enough since Baltimore continued struggling on the mound.Its just not going for us, Baltimore third baseman Manny Machado said. Nothing really, really to it. Just not getting any hits, clean hits. Just out-hitting us. Theyre doing what they need to be doing, and were not. Nothings falling for us. No excuses.The Orioles also wont make any excuses if they have to attempt to avoid a sweep without Adam Jones. Jones grounded out to third to start Fridays game and was pulled with a left hamstring strain in the second inning.Jones did not start Saturday and is unlikely to play Sunday.The Yankees began this series by starting two rookies, Luis Cessa and Chad Green. Another young pitcher was originally scheduled to go, but the Yankees announced CC Sabathia would start Sunday and Michael Pineda would go Monday in Kansas City.Sabathias numbers against Baltimore might have something to do with it and the fact that he is coming off a solid seven-inning performance in Seattle when he allowed a run and three hits Monday.He pitched 12 scoreless innings in Baltimore May 4 and June 5, and Sabathia allowed four runs and seven hits in 6 2/3 innings July 21 while opposing Chris Tillman.Sabathia is 19-8 with a 3.33 ERA in 36 career starts against Baltimore. With the Yankees, he is 14-8 with a 3.67 ERA in 27 starts and at Yankee Stadium, he is 6-2 with a 3.58 ERA in nine starts.Sabathia also has done well against Baltimores top hitters. Jones is 19-for-75 (.253), Machado is 11-for-43 (.256), Davis is 8-for-39 (.205), Matt Wieters is 7-for-43 (.163) and Trumbo is 6-for-25 (.240).This season those players are a combined 3-for-33 against Sabathia.After the sub-par results from Yovani Gallardo and Dylan Bundy, Kevin Gausman starts for the Orioles.Gausman is 0-9 with a 5.32 ERA in 13 outings away from Baltimore but one of the right-handers best road starts was a 2-1 loss in New York when he allowed two runs and six hits in 6 2/3 innings.In three starts against the Yankees, the Orioles have scored six runs for him, and Gausman has allowed three runs in 20 2/3 innings.Gausmans numbers against the Yankees reflect his recent performance as he is 3-2 with a 3.03 ERA in his last five starts. Gausman last pitched during Tuesdays 8-1 win against Washington and allowed six hits in six scoreless innings. ' ' '
