World champion Viswanathan Anand could not fetch a win till the very end as he settled for a draw with Russian Sergey Karjakin in the 10th and final round of fifth Final Chess Masters to finish a lowly fifth here. Having lost to Magnus Carlsen of Norway in the penultimate round after a spate of draws, Anand could not break through the defences of Karjakin and settled for his ninth draw in 10 games apart from the lone defeat. After a full bloodied penultimate round that produced three decisive games, the atmosphere was a lot calmer in the playing hall as all the games ended in draws. While Carlsen held his own against Levon Aronian...

NEW YORK, Oct 13 (Reuters) - The Detroit Tigers survived a stunning four-run New York rally in the bottom of the ninth to beat the Yankees 6-4 in 12 innings on Saturday in the opening game of the American League Championship Series. Delmon Young doubled under the glove of diving Yankee right-fielder Nick Swisher to score Miguel Cabrera in the 12th with the go-ahead run and Detroit added another run in the inning as the Tigers drew first blood in the best-of-seven series. Potentially even more damaging to New York hopes in the series was an injury to Yankee captain and shortstop Derek Jeter, who hurt his left leg diving for a ball in the 12th and was helped off the field. Detroit led 4-0...

By Associated Press Comments Texas Tech's SaDale Foster breaks free for a touchdown ahead of West Virginia's Eric Kinsey during the first half Saturday in Lubbock, Texas. (Stephen Spillman/Associated Press) Lubbock, Texas â€" Put that Heisman talk on hold. A second straight trip to Texas turned out to be too much for Geno Smith and No. 5 West Virginia to handle. Texas Tech's defense and a swirling wind confounded Smith and the Mountaineers' defense couldn't stop the Red Raiders in a 49-14 victory Saturday. Smith, who had thrown for 24 touchdowns coming into the game and established himself as the Heisman Trophy front-runner, had only one TD pass against the nation's top-ranked pass defense....

They're playing high school football in Schoharie and Duanesburg, and for communities that haven't known Friday Night Lights for decades, that's a win. But the 30 teenagers who practice on a windswept field — a swath of grass amid towering wheat — aren't just basking in the chance to break tackles and celebrate touchdowns. They're also showing New York state how even traditionally rival districts can share the same huddle, and how communities can band together to support sports even when budgets can't. Oh, and they're good. This year, as a JV squad that includes juniors and seniors, Schoburg football is 5-0, having mastered a Wing T offense to outscore their opponents by a 4-to-1...

BATON ROUGE, La. - Jeremy Hill capped his breakout game by leaping the fence dividing the field from the stands at Tiger Stadium and embracing a jubilant throng of students as they celebrated LSU's quick ascendance back into the national title discussion. Hill highlighted a 124-yard, two-touchdown performance with a 50-yard scoring run, and the ninth-ranked Tigers handed No. 3 South Carolina its first loss of the season, 23-21, on Saturday night. Hill's clutch runs, showcasing his tackle-breaking power as well as breakaway speed, were precisely what LSU needed a week after stumbling to its lone loss of the season at Florida, where the offense had been stagnant. "We didn't play like we...

AMES, Iowa â€" This was a trap game for Kansas State, coming to Iowa State. Yes sir, everybody in Ames was out early Saturday morning, ready to snare these sixth-ranked Wildcats inside Trice Stadium, where the biggest crowd in the stadium’s history showed up to watch. They expected an upset like the one the Cyclones pulled off last season against Oklahoma State, which came to town as a national championship contender and left with a disheartening defeat. One national pundit after another lined up to say how dangerous this game was for K-State, a week before its showdown with West Virginia in Morgantown. Well, it was dangerous. And the Wildcats, who have been so good about their Ps and Qs...

Delmon Young doubled home the go-ahead run in the 12th inning after New York's Raul Ibanez hit another stunning game-tying home run during a four-run rally in the ninth, and the visiting Detroit Tigers outlasted the Yankees 6-4 Saturday night in an AL championship series opener in which Derek Jeter was helped off the field with what appeared to be a serious leg injury. Jeter rolled over his knee when he dove in an attempt to glove Jhonny Peralta's grounder up the middle in the 12th. Unable to move, he flipped the ball toward the mound. His leg was dangling as he was assisted to the dugout by manager Joe Girardi and trainer Steve Donahue. Detroit was coasting to a 4-0 win before the Yankees...

By Geoff Robinson comments Geoff Robinson Tweet Email Share A A A Well, that was tiring. As mad as fans may be at Jose Valverde and Jim Leyland right now, they have to be equally as happy with Octavio Dotel and Drew Smyly, who shut down the Yankees in extra innings in a tough situation. Oh, and that guy Delmon Young, too. Young appears to always turn it on in the postseason and did so tonight with two huge RBIs, including the game-winner. It says a lot a bout the character of this team that they were able to come back after devastatingly giving up a four-run lead in the ninth inning....

NEW YORK (AP) — Raul Ibanez hit another tying homer in the bottom of the ninth inning, and the New York Yankees and Detroit Tigers were tied 4-4 after 11 innings on Saturday night in the opener of the American League championship series. Three batters after Ichiro Suzuki hit a two-run shot off closer Jose Valverde to cut the Yankees' deficit in half, Ibanez connected for his second tying homer of this postseason, a two-run drive to right-center. Ibanez started his powerful week pinch-hitting for Alex Rodriguez against Baltimore Orioles closer Jim Johnson in the ninth inning on Wednesday to send Game 3 of the division series to extra innings. Then he won it with a homer in the 12th inning....

CONCORD, N.C. — A week after the restrictor-plate tentacles of Talladega got their grip on a bunch of drivers, another nemesis popped up at Charlotte Motor Speedway: The Fuel Mileage Monster. It zapped Chase leader Brad Keselowski and was benevolent to Clint Bowyer. Bowyer won Saturday night's Bank of America 500 and, most important, shaved precious points off Keselowski's lead as the man to beat in the Chase. Keselowski is now just seven points ahead of Jimmie Johnson and 15 points ahead of Denny Hamlin. "This thing is still wide open for everybody," said Johnson, who finished third, right behind Hamlin....
