late point totie the score and earn the first round as the last person to score.
In the second, Johansson went fora double leg takedown, but Dugrenier sprawled
to stop it. However, Johansson wasable to drive her through the passive zone for
a critical first point. Dugrenierworked hard to get her opponent down and got a
quick tying point then grabbedhold of her legs and turned her over for another
one. This time she managed to holdJohansson off to knot the match at a round
apiece. In the third they grappled hardand went down in the first minute but no
point was scored. Dugrenier was ableto get a double leg takedown early in the
second minute and then showed off herstrength and technique, grasping Johanssons

tonight.PHILADELPHIA—A new catcher didnt affect A.J. Burnetts groove. Burnett
threw 6 2-3 sharp innings to win his eighth straight start, Casey McGehee hit a
three-run homer and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Philadelphia Phillies 5-4
Thursday. Pedro Alvarez also went deep for Pittsburgh, which split the four-game
set in Philadelphia by winning the last two. The surprising Pirates, seeking
their first winning season since 1992, are 40-35 and second in the NL central.
Burnett (9-2) allowed three runs and six hits, striking out seven. The winning
streak is his longest, and its the first time a Pirates pitcher has won eight in
a row since Dock Ellis in 1974. Michael McKenry caught Burnett for the first
time because starter Rod Barajas is injured. “I was really impressed with
McKenry,” Burnett said. “He was outstanding. I cant say enough about him. It was
a pleasure to work with him. He picked up where Rod left off.” Joel Hanrahan
tossed a scoreless ninth for his 20th save in 22 tries. He retired Hunter Pence
on a shallow fly with the tying run on third to end it. Eric Kratz and Pence hit
homers for the Phillies. The Pirates jumped on Kyle Kendrick (2-8) for five runs
before he recorded a second out in the first. “Gave us a chance to win, pitched
deep into the game, which they needed me to,” Kendrick said. “We came up short.”
Drew Sutton led off with an infield single and Neil Walker walked. One out
later, Garrett Jones hit an RBI single. McGehee followed with a three-run shot
to left. Alvarez then lined one out to right to make it 5-0. McGehee has five
homers and 15 RBIs in June after driving in just six runs with no homers in the
first two months. “I think at one point I was trying to do too much,” McGehee
said. “I was with a new team trying to make a good impression. Then I went back
to just trying to hit the ball up the middle of the field.” Kratz connected off
Burnett in the second to cut it to 5-2. Burnett retired nine straight bbefore
consecutive singles by Shane Victorino and Pence put runners on first and third
with one out in the sixth. Mike Iupati Womens Jersey. Placido Polancos
fielders choice grounder scored Victorino to cut it to 5-3. Pence led off the
bottom of the eighth with a shot off Jason Grilli for his first homer since June
2 and 14th of the year. Pence snapped a 98 at-bat homerless drought. Grilli
pitched out of a jam with two runners on to preserve the lead. He struck out
pinch-hitter Jim Thome and retired pinch-hitter Carlos Ruiz on a foul pop. First
baseman McGehee made a nice running catch and held onto the ball after stumbling
into the first row down the right-field line. “We got some tough outs from
Grilli and Joel,” Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. Kendrick settled down
nicely after the awful start. He gave up five runs and six hits in seven
innings. This was Burnetts first appearance in Philadelphia since losing to
Cliff Lee and the Phillies in Game 5 of the 2009 World Series. Burnett beat
Pedro Martinez in Game 2 that year and the New York Yankees prevented the
Phillies from repeating as world champions by taking the Series in six games.
The Phillies finished 5-5 on their longest homestand of the season. The
five-time defending NL East champions fell to last place and are 36-42,
including 17-24 at home. NOTES: Phillies designated RHP Chad Qualls for
