PHOENIX -- Corey Dickerson hit a pitch that bounced well in front of the plate
for a double, starting a five-run burst in the seventh inning that led the
Colorado Rockies over the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-5 Friday night.
Swingman Mike Bibby Jersey . Wilin Rosario
drove in four runs with a single and double, and Troy Tulowitzki and Dickerson
each had three of the Rockies 16 hits. Dickerson had the oddest hit, by far. It
was 2-all in the seventh when Dickerson swung at a pitch from Will Harris that
skipped about 3 feet in front of the plate, and still managed to wind up with a
double. The Rockies went on the break open the game, helped by Charlie Blackmons
two-run triple. Harris (3-1) allowed four runs while getting just one out.
Arizonas Miguel Montero hit a three-run home run off Manny Corpas with two outs
in the ninth. Rex Brothers came on to get the final out for his 17th save in 19
tries. Montero reached base five times on the home run, two singles and two
walks. Josh Outman (3-0) threw 1 1-3 scoreless innings to get the victory.
Colorados D.J. LeMahieu had two singles and an RBI, extending his career-best
hitting streak to 13 games. After Dickersons strange double to right field,
LeMahieu hit a go-ahead single. Tulowitzki also singled and Rosario had a
two-run double for a 5-2 lead. Blackmon tripled off Chaz Roe. Aaron Hill and
Paul Goldschmidt led off the ninth with singles. Two outs later, Montero
homered. Rosario hit a two-run single in the first off Brandon McCarthy. Adam
Eatons single and walks to Aaron Hill and Paul Goldschmidt loaded the bases for
Arizona with one out in the third against Colorado starter Tyler Chatwood. Eric
Chavezs sacrifice fly made it 2-1. Chatwoods control problems worsened in the
fifth with three walks and a wild pitch. He got the first two batters out, but
walked Chavez. Martin Prado singled, then Montero walked to load the bases and
Chavez scored on a wild pitch to tie it at 2. Gerardo Parra grounded into two
double plays. He also threw out Blackmon when he rounded second a bit too far in
the sixth. NOTES: Parra leads the majors with 16 outfield assists. ...Chatwood
made his 13th consecutive start after opening the season with seven relief
appearances. ... For the first time since the scorching Arizona summer set in,
the roof was open at Chase Field. ... McCarthy had gone hitless in his first
career 39 at-bats before he singled up the middle in the fourth.

Michigan was making a mess of another game against a heavy underdog, when
Desmond Morgan snatched away Connecticuts chance for a huge upset. Morgans
one-handed interception in the fourth quarter swung the game Michigans way and
the 15th-ranked Wolverines dodged another potentially embarrassing loss with a
24-21 victory against Connecticut on Saturday night. A week after Michigan
needed a last-second stand to hold off Akron at the Big House, Brendan Gibbons
kicked a 21-yard field goal with 4:36 left to give the Wolverines (4-0) their
first lead of the second half. "Were Michigan. We dont play to everyone elses
level and for the last two weeks we have. But were going to step it up,"
defensive end Frank Clark said. Chandler Whitmer threw two touchdown passes and
Ty-Meer Brown returned a fumble 34 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter
that put UConn (0-3) up 21-7. Quarterback Devin Gardner turned the ball over
three times for Michigan and the Wolverines also muffed a punt inside their 10
that led to a UConn touchdown. Fitzgerald Toussaint carried the offence with 120
yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries. Toussaint broke a 35-yard touchdown run
in the third quarter, and scored from 12 yards out right after Morgans pick with
9:56 left. Against the Zips, Gardner threw three interceptions and lost a fumble
and the Wolverines came away feeling more relieved than victorious. Gardner
wasnt much better this week, going 11 for 23 for 97 yards. He ran for 64 yards
and a 17-yard touchdown in the first quarter. But his defence had to bail him
out, specifically Morgan. After star Connecticut linebacker Yawin Smallwood
stopped Gardner short on a fourth-and-2 at the Huskies 22 with 11:23 left in the
fourth quarter, the record crowd of 42,704 at Rentschler Field was rocking and
starting to believe an upset was in the making. But Morgan made the play of the
game and one play later Toussaint swept untouched around the left side to make
it 21-21 with 9:49 left. Michigan forced a three-and-out on the next series and
got the ball back around midfield, but its drive stalled at the 4 and Gibbons
made the short kick to give Michigan a three-point lead with 4:36 left. UConns
last drive never had a chance. Michigan pushed the Huskies backward and then
they came up a few yards short on a fourth-and-29. UConn, pllaying without
leading receiver Shakim Phillips, managed only 206 yards, 159 passing from
Whitmer.
Dikembe Mutombo Jersey. The Huskies limped
into the most high-profile nonconference home game they have ever played, trying
to avoid their first 0-3 start since 2001 and take some heat off third-year
coach Paul Pasqualoni. But Michigan had three turnovers in the first half that
helped give UConn a 14-7 lead. Turnover No. 4 came on its first possession of
the second half and put the Wolverines in a deep hole. Gardner tried to sneak on
a third-and-short, but as he slid down the line, he bumped into one of his
linemen and the ball popped loose. Brown picked up the ball and had a couple of
teammates escort him into the end zone for a 21-7 lead less than 2 minutes into
the half. Michigan finally responded with a drive, going 75 yards, the final 35
by Toussaint who made it 21-14 with 5:37 left in the third. The Maize and Blues
visit to Rentschler Field was a major event in these parts. Former UConn
basketball star Ray Allen made the trip and Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter, who
grew up in Michigan and almost played for the Wolverines, also took in the game
from the athletic directors box. On the field, though, the Huskies didnt appear
to be in any condition to challenge Michigan, having already lost at home to
Towson and Maryland -- at least without help, and Michigan gave it to the
Huskies. Gardner threw a first-quarter interception deep in UConn territory. He
redeemed himself later with a 17-yard touchdown run to give Michigan a 7-0 lead
with 1:52 left in the first. UConn ended the quarter with one first down. But
Michigan couldnt take advantage as the Huskies offence sputtered, and the
Huskies tied it at 7 with 3:54 left in the half when Whitmer found Spencer
Parker, a former walk-on, for an 11-yard touchdown pass. The third Michigan
turnover of the half, a bouncing punt that hit off the leg of DaMario Jones
while he was looking the other way, gave UConn the ball at the Wolverines 9 and
two plays later Whitmer floated a 7-yard TD pass to Lyle McCombs that put the
Huskies up 14-7. Gardner didnt complete a pass in the second quarter and for the
second straight week Michigan looked disjointed against a heavy underdog. The
Wolverines will go into their off week undefeated -- if not satisfied with their
play -- and much to work on
