There tends to be some points scored when we get together. You have to keep fighting and make good use of all your 27 outs. You have to play nine innings to win in this league. When you dont, you usually get beat.The Rockies have scored fewer than four runs in only one of the first 18 games of the season series, and they produced at least eight runs eight times.Arizona has scored at least six runs in the past 10 meetings, eight of which were at altitude at Coors Field.The Diamondbacks have made some modern history along the way.With 17 hits Tuesday, the Diamondbacks have recorded at least 10 hits in their last 13 games against the Rockies, the first time that has happened in a head-to-head matchup in 86 years.

He has a season-high 14 homers and ranks third in the National League with 177 hits, three behind Washington Nationals MVP candidate Daniel Murphy and one behind Los Angeles Dodgers rookie Corey Seager.Hes been our starter all year. Hes been a phenomenal leadoff hitter for us, Arizona manager Chip Hale said. We want him to finish strong. We want him to have a great year, get his 200 hits and really do some special things. Hes done a really good job all year, and in some tough situations. When you struggle as a team, hes been able to weather it and not let it get to his at-bats. Hes been very consistent.Segura, hitting .312 with 30 stolen bases, did say his bat has been feeling a little heavy these days. He is second in the NL with 568 at-bats, one behind Atlanta outfielder Matt Kemp.Everybody knows September, Segura said. You have to go out there and do the best you can, keep grinding no matter what. Just go out and compete.Colorado center fielder Charlie Blackmon hit his 26th homer Tuesday.

Monday nights game between No. 12 Louisville and William & Mary in the KFC Yum!

Louisvilles stifling defense held Evansville to just 28.1 percent shooting, out-rebounding the Aces 52-29.Louisville (1-0) is a heavy favorite coming into Monday nights 7 p.m. tipoff, but coach Rick Pitino isnt take the Tribe (1-0) lightly.The game Monday is really going to be a difficult game, Pitino said. This team opened up with N.C. State last year and they beat them by (in the) opening game.Pitino said he specifically picked out the Cardinals early-season schedule to provide maximum competition for his talented team. William & Mary seems to fit the bill, going 20-11 last season and returning four of its top five players, including 6-foot-7 forward Omar Prewitt.They are a veteran team with a young man from Lexington whos just an outstanding basketball player (Prewitt) and we are going to really play great defense like we did (Friday), the entire night because they are very difficult to guard, Pitino said Friday night. The young man who is coming back -- Omar Prewitt -- is a hell of a basketball player, so we have two days to prepare and pay attention to it and we think we will be ready.The Cardinals will face a confident Tribe after William & Mary beatt Division III Bridgewater 96-44 on Saturday afternoon.dddddddddddd Prewitt was one of five William & Mary players to score in double figures.Tribe head coach Tony Shaver said, I was encouraged because I thought we played hard. We had a 30-point lead and Daniel Dixon is still diving on the floor. We have got to have that to be a championship caliber team. I was really proud of all the guys effort.In addition to Prewitts 14 points in 19 minutes Saturday, the Tribe also got 17 points from freshman wing Justin Pierce, 11 apiece from senior guard Daniel Dixon and junior guard Connor Burchfield and 10 from sophomore power forward Paul Rowley.The Tribe beat Bridgewater with a school record 22 steals, forcing 25 turnovers. William & Mary converted all those turnovers in 36 points. The Tribe shot 53.6 percent from the field, but they know it wont be as easy at Louisville Monday night.You think Louisville is a little bigger than these guys? Shaver said with a smile after William & Marys win over Bridgewater.William & Mary will face Louisville, Duke and Rhode Island during its nonconference schedule.I dont think its any question, were playing the toughest nonconference schedule weve faced, Shaver said. That schedule, how we handle it is very important. We wont win all those games, but during a stretch like that if you can be successful and have some success it will build confidence and better prepare us for CAA play. But it also can cripple you if youre not playing well. Its a great challenge for our guys. ' ' '
