Pirates Lose
CINCINNATI (AP) - Joey Votto hit a solo homer and a tiebreaking, bases-loaded single in the eighth inning Thursday, completing the Cincinnati Reds' rally from a five-run deficit to an 8-6 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates. By scoring three times in the eighth, the Reds avoided a sweep by the Pirates, who have dropped 11 of their last 13 games. Craig Hansen (0-3) couldn't hold a one-run lead in the eighth, when his wild pitch let in the tying run. Hansen has given up runs in six of his nine appearances with the Pirates, who got him from Boston as part of the three-team trade involving outfielder Jason Bay. Votto's run-scoring single off T.J. Beam put the Reds ahead for
the first time, and Edwin Encarnacion followed with a sacrifice fly.

Giants Dump Redskins
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) - The New York Giants kicked off their Super Bowl title defense with a suffocating defensive showing in their 16-7 win over Washington. The Giants defense held the
Washington Redskins to 11 first downs and 209 total yards in a game in which all the scoring came in the first half.

Paterno Sacks Players
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) - Penn State coach Joe Paterno kicked one player off the team and said three players will not face Oregon State this weekend because of undisclosed off-field issues.
Defensive back Willie Harriott has been kicked off the team while defensive linemen Maurice Evans and Abe Koroma and tight end Andrew Quarless will sit out when Oregon State visits 19th-ranked Penn State on Saturday.

Jones Released From Prison
SAN ANTONIO (AP) - Marion Jones was released from federal custody today. The disgraced American sprinter served most of her six-month sentence for lying to federal investigators about her use of performance-enhancing drugs.

Bolt Wins Again
BRUSSELS, Belgium (AP) - Usain Bolt battled the cold and a headwind, and was forced to come from behind to beat Asafa Powell in 9.77 seconds in a season farewell 100 meters at the Van Damme Memorial. Running into 1.3 meter-per-second headwind, the Olympic champion
had a bad start and immediately saw Powell shoot ahead of him. In his last race of the season, however, nothing was going to stop the world record holder from spoiling his farewell party in Europe. Halfway through he pulled even with Powell and then his huge stride took over, finishing just .08 seconds off the world record he set at the Beijing Games. Powell, the only runner to have beaten Bolt this season, finished second in 9.83 and Nesha Carter made it a Jamaican sweep
in 10.07.

Vanderbilt Wins
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Chris Nickson threw for a touchdown and ran for another and Vanderbilt finally beat a ranked opponent on its own field by upsetting 24th-ranked South Carolina 24-17 in the
SEC opener for both teams. The Commodores hadn't upset a ranked team in Vanderbilt Stadium since 1992, when they beat then-Number-25 Mississippi 31-9.

Federer Advances
NEW YORK (AP) - Roger Federer has reached his 18th straight Grand Slam semifinal by defeating Gilles Muller 7-6, 6-4, 7-6 at the U.S. Open. Federer has won the past four U.S. Opens. Third-seed Novak Djokovic beat eighth-seeded American Andy Roddick 6-2, 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 to also reach the semifinal against Federer.
