It appeared they would at least send the game into overtime after Benkert hit Keeon Johnson with a 34-yard fourth-down pass to put the ball inside the UConn 10.The Husky defense stiffened, stopping Benkerts keeper at the 2-yard line on third down. The Cavaliers, who had no timeouts remaining, were able to rush the field-goal unit onto the field. But Furbank pulled the ball left.I know I rushed the kick a little bit and thats 100 percent on me, he said.It was the 17th straight road loss for Virginia, and leaves first-year coach Bronco Mendenhall still looking for his 100th career win.

They fought hard from the beginning and I think they took a step forward again today.Virginia opened the scoring with first quarter drives of 12 and 13 plays.

It was the first pick of the season for Summers, who had eight last season.The Huskies, helped by interference and face mask calls on Virginia, drove 37-yards in nine plays to tie the game. Shirreffs ran the ball in on a sweep from a yard out.Virginia then drove to the UConn 24-yard line, but a run by Albert Reid on fourth-and-1 came up short.It was painful, thats all I can say, Reid said.

ATLANTA -- The bullpens for the Atlanta Braves and Philadelphia Phillies are headed in different directions.The Braves have been getting some stellar work from their relief pitchers, while the Phillies pitchers have struggled in that role.Barring a complete game -- Atlanta has had one, Philadelphia has had four this season -- both teams are likely to go to the bullpen on Thursday, the final meeting between the two teams this year and Philadelphias final trip to Turner Field.Philadelphia sends right-hander Jeremy Hellickson (12-10, 3.78) to the mound against Atlanta right-hander Josh Collmenter (3-0, 4.19).The Philadelphia bullpen has allowed 23 runs since Sunday. The bullpen has a 10.05 ERA since Sept. 15The bullpen just hasnt been doing the job, Philadelphia manager Pete Mackanin said. At some point somebody has to do a job. Somebody has to step up. In two games, every reliever Ive brought in has given up a run. Thats unheard of.The problem begins with closer Jeanmar Gomez, who has blown two saves in his last three opportunities. Edubray Ramos has been dealing with a slight elbow issue.Luis Garcia, Severino Gonzalez and David Hernandez have been battered of late. Only Hector Neris has surpassed expectations lately.The Atlanta bullpen has been a mix-and-match collection that has achieved success, especially in regards to preventing home runs. The relievers have allowed only seven homers since the All-Star Game and only 41 this season, fewest in the league.The Braves have gotten good performances from JJose Ramirez, Ian Krol and Chaz Roe and have uncovered a solid setup man in hard-throwing rookie Mauricio Cabrera.dddddddddddd Veteran Jim Johnson has solidified the closer role since Arodys Vizcaino went on the disabled list.Hellickson will make his 32nd start of the season, his career high. He has started at least 27 games in five of his six full seasons in the major leagues.Hellickson was roughed up in his last start against the Mets, allowing six runs in 4 1/3 innings. He is 1-0 with a 4.08 ERA in three career starts against the Braves. He last worked against Atlanta on Sept. 2 and received no decision after giving up four runs in six innings.Collmenter has been a valued addition to the staff since he was acquired from the Cubs for cash on Sept. 16.In two starts since joining the rotation, Collmenter is 2-0 with a 3.00 ERA. He beat the Marlins on Sept. 22 and allowed two runs in seven innings. Collmenter is 1/3 with a 4.78 ERA in 12 career appearances, five starts, against the Phillies.Atlanta first baseman Freddie Freeman will try to extend his hitting streak (30 games) and on-base streak (46 games). Freemans hitting streak is the third-longest in Atlanta franchise history and his on-base streak is the longest since Gary Sheffield set an Atlanta record with 52 in 2002.You take it for granted with this guy, Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said. Hes a machine. Pretty good. ' ' '
