ARE, Sweden - Marcel Hirscher was bitterly disappointed to discover he would not be skiing on his favourite French slope but going to the icy-cold Sweden mountains instead.The switch worked out perfectly.The Austrian won Sundays World Cup slalom to add to his crushing victory in Fridays giant slalom, mastering the conditions on the rock-hard Olympia course to perfection and moving top of the overall rankings.He overcame a first-leg deficit of .25 seconds to edge out German skier Felix Neureuther by.10 for his 26th career victory — moving him level with Austrian great Franz Klammer.The two races were initially scheduled to take place in Val dIsere, France — where Hirscher has won two GS races before — but were moved to freezing northern Sweden due to a lack of snow in the French Alps.In the beginning, when I heard the decision about the replacement of the World Cup races to Are, I thought Oh my God, my lovely race hill in Val dIsere is cancelled, Hirscher said. Finally, I have to say it doesnt matter. It is good here in Are. I liked it.So did Russian Alexander Khoroshilov, who finished .15 behind for a career-best third place.In the overall standings, Hirscher has 440 points, with Norways Kjetil Jansrud second with 412 and American Ted Ligety — who crashed out in Sundays second run — third with 246.Hirscher, who beat Ligety by 1.22 seconds to win Fridays giant slalom, is one of only five Austrian men to have won 25 career races and moves level with Franz Klammer.Ligety was third after the first run but lost control of his skis midway down the second after taking a turn too wide and failed to finish.Olympic champion Mario Matt of Austria, fourth quickest in the morning, also failed to finish his second run.Hirscher now has a podium finish in all five races he has competed in so far this season.He won the season-opening giant slalom at Soelden, Austria; finished second in slalom at Levi, Finland, and third in GS at Beaver Creek, Colorado.Im tired at the moment. The past three weeks have been pretty hard for all of us, with a lot of travelling, Hirscher said. It is not easy at the beginning of the season until Christmas.His 26 wins put him three behind another Austrian great, Stephan Eberharter, whom Hirscher will be confident of catching this season. He will then be able to set his sights on veteran Benjamin Raich (36) next season. Hermann Maier remains way ahead, though, with 54 World Cup wins.Neureuther was eyeing a 10th World Cup win, and eighth in slalom, but had to settle for his second podium of the season after again finishing behind Hirscher at Levi.Khoroshilov had never finished higher than eighth and it was only his sixth top-10 finish.Ligety, meanwhile, must wait a little longer before moving up on the all-time list of giant slalom winners. He is level in second place on 23 wins with Switzerlands Michael von Gruenigen. Swedish great Ingemar Stenmark leads with 46.Pushing hard to make up time, Ligetys skis bumped off the rock-hard Olympia course and he could not regain control. He had four metal plates inserted into his left wrist after a training accident nearly three weeks ago.U.S. mens coach Sasha Rearick said Ligety will stay and train a couple of days on the steeps in Are to work on his balance.Ted was charging and having a good run, Rearick said of Sundays performance. Ted was doing what he needed to do to step on the podium today. Tommy Joseph Jersey . Compared to what hes gone through in recent weeks, that seemed like a breeze. Speaking to The Associated Press on Friday at an NBA Cares event, Silver said hes thrilled that the leagues attention can be on the championship series between the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs -- and not, as it was for so much of the post-season, on the off-the-court matters involving the banishment of Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling and now the looming sale of that franchise. Aaron Nola Jersey . Yet heading to New York, the Habs remain positive as it all comes down to the one main ingredient that the organization has built its team on - character. http://www.cheapphilliesjerseys.com/?tag...n-samuel-jersey. Lawrie was hit on the hand by Cincinnati pitcher Johnny Cueto in the second inning of Sundays 4-3 loss to the Reds. Dave Cash Jersey . Felton pleaded guilty to attempted criminal possession of a weapon and criminal possession of a firearm. He admitted he knowingly had a large-capacity ammunition magazine and a semi-automatic pistol without a license. Tim McCarver Jersey . Ozuna hit Reeds 2-2 pitch off the batters eye far above the 407-foot sign in straightaway centre. It was the fifth blown save in 25 tries for Reed (1-5) and the ninth home run the closer has allowed in 38 appearances. Nuno, acquired in the deal that sent Brandon McCarthy to the New York Yankees, gave up three hits, struck out a career-high seven and walked one in seven innings.SEATTLE -- Jake Odorizzi did his job on the mound backing up what David Price did the previous night for Tampa Bay. It got overshadowed by the concern for how long the Rays could be without All-Star second baseman Ben Zobrist. Odorizzi pitched one-hit ball, but the Rays lost Zobrist to a dislocated thumb during a 2-0 win over the Seattle Mariners on Wednesday. Zobrists injury isnt considered serious. But the Rays are not sure whether hell end up on the disabled list or be able to play through the injury. Rays manager Joe Maddon said the club would likely make a decision on Thursday after seeing how the thumb responds. "Were getting different opinions. I think a lot of it has to do with how sore he is tomorrow, how swollen and sore," Maddon said. "That could indicate DL. That could indicate maybe not." Zobrist hurt his left thumb on a headfirst slide while trying to steal second base in the fifth and yelled in pain. The valuable all-purpose player jammed himself into the bag after being tagged out, walked off the field holding his hand and later had his thumb adjusted back into place. Zobrist said having the thumb put back in hurt more than jamming it originally. X-rays to check if there was a fracture were negative. "I guess best case scenario is it heals very quickly and I can get back on the field, maybe within a week," Zobrist said. "Thats unlikely I think and I think theyre trying to decide whether I need to go on the DL or not. Well see what decision is made." Odorizzi (2-3) picked up his first win since the opening week of the season, teaming with three relievers on a combined two-hitter. Odorizzi allowed only two baserunners, both on walks, and then retired 12 straight batters before James Jones broke up the no-hit bid with a two-out single in the sixth. Odorizzi struck out Stefan Romero to end the sixth, his eighth, but his pitch count was at 95. Odorizzi said he knew he had a no-hitter going but realized it was a long time before it could become reality.dddddddddddd "If I would have gotten through that sixth inning there are still nine outs to go. Thats a lot of outs. I dont think you really think about it until its like the eighth inning and you have an out or two," Odorizzi said. "The hit we gave up was on the pitch we wanted too." With the Rays bullpen rested after Prices complete game the night before, Maddon ended Odorizzis day after six innings. Jake McGee walked Robinson Cano to open the seventh, but got Justin Smoak to ground into a double play. Joel Peralta worked around a one-out double by Dustin Ackley in the eighth, helped by a questionable strikeout of John Buck when he was called out by first base umpire Lance Barksdale on a check swing. That set off Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon. His argument led to his second ejection of the season and left a fan with a souvenir after McClendon threw his hat into the stands. "It is what it is," McClendon said. "You write what you saw. If I tell it, I get fined." Grant Balfour worked the ninth for his seventh save in eight chances. Brandon Maurer (1-2) and the Seattle bullpen held the Rays to three hits, but Tampa Bay scored twice in the fourth on a bases-loaded walk to Yunel Escobar and a wild pitch that scored Wil Myers. Maurer failed to make it through that inning after losing command. With a runner already on base, Maurer issued three straight two-out walks to Myers, Brandon Jennings and the last to Escobar that forced in a run. Reliever Dominic Leone almost immediately threw a wild pitch that scored Myers. NOTES: Rays won consecutive games for first time since May 1-2. ... Seattle LHP James Paxton (back) threw a 52-pitch bullpen session on Wednesday. Paxton hopes to throw a simulated game this weekend on the road. ... Seattle SS Brad Miller committed his seventh error. He had seven errors in 68 games at SS last season. ' ' '
