(Pittsburgh. Pa.) The Backyard Brawl is ‘where the beast lives’ for Pitt, WVU
Tune into Beaver County Radio at tonight as  Pitt will host the West Virginia Mountaineers to renew one of college football’s oldest rivalries “The Backyard Brawl”. The series dates back to 1895 but went on a break in 2012 after both schools left the Big East for other conferences. Alumni on both sides have tried to impart the importance of the rivalry to a current crop of players that have no personal history against each other. Pitt linebacker SirVocea Dennis says getting up for the game shouldn’t be hard. Dennis said once he pulls on his Panther jersey, “whoever they say we don’t like, we don’t like.”

The pre-game starts at 5 PM and the game kicks-off at 7 PM on Beaver County Radio.

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Garrett Mitchell hit a tying home run in the eighth inning and Keston Hiura connected for a game-ending shot in the ninth as the Milwaukee Brewers rallied past the Pittsburgh Pirates 7-5. Hiura, who replaced injured first baseman Rowdy Tellez in the fourth, launched a two-run homer off reliever Wil Crowe that bounced off the top of the left-field wall. Willy Adames singled leading off the ninth for the Brewers. Mitchell, starting his second game in the majors after being called up from Triple-A Nashville late last week, belted his first career homer, a two-run drive off Crowe with two outs in the eighth. That earned Mitchell a curtain call from the crowd, which included several family members. Pittsburgh lost for 14th time in 17 games.

By WILL GRAVES AP Sports Writer
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Mitch Trubisky staked his claim to be the Pittsburgh Steelers starting quarterback, throwing for 160 yards and a touchdown in a 19-9 win over Detroit in the NFL’s preseason finale. Trubisky was at his best late in the first half, leading the Steelers on a 92-yard drive that ended with a 6-yard touchdown pass to Steven Sims. Rookie Kenny Pickett played well in the second half for Ptitsburgh but it appears Trubisky has the inside track to be the starter when the Steelers begin the regular season in Cincinnati on Sept. 11.

Beaver Falls Strolls By Blackhawk 22-7

(Chippewa Twp., Pa.) The Beaver Falls Tigers went to Blackhawk Friday night for their first game of the year and played good defense keeping the Cougars off the score board until very late in the 4th quarter. Beaver Falls jumped out to a quick lead and got out to a fast 22 point lead, but then the cougar defense stiffened up and kept the tigers off the score board the rest of the game. It was a good game for both teams to work the kinks out before the regular season gets started.
