Safe at home: Bednar’s rise rare bright spot for Pirates
By WILL GRAVES AP Sports Writer
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Pittsburgh Pirates reliever David Bednar has revived his career with his hometown team. Bednar arrived in Pittsburgh last January as part of a deal that sent starter Joe Musgrove to the Padres. The 26-year-old from the northern Pittsburgh suburbs has evolved into one of the team’s most dependable relievers. Bednar entered the final week of the season with a 3-1 record and a 2.11 ERA in 60 appearances. He has been named the team’s pitcher of the year. Bednar says he hopes to keep the momentum going into next season.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Willson Contreras drove in all of the Cubs’ run as Chicago beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 3-2 to end a seven-game losing streak. Contreras’ two-run double high off the right-field wall in the seventh inning rallied the Cubs from a 2-1 deficit. He also accounted for the game’s first run with a long sacrifice fly to center field in the fifth. Bryan Reynolds became the first Pirates player to hit two triples in a game since Josh Harrison in 2014. Pittsburgh fell to 59-99, putting the Pirates on the brink of the ninth 100-loss season in franchise history.

PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Pittsburgh Steelers are struggling at 1-2 following a 24-10 loss to Cincinnati. The Steelers were undone by a pair of turnovers from quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and a series of penalties by their retooled offensive line. Coach Mike Tomlin says there is plenty of blame to go around. Roethlisberger says he still has belief in the offensive line and it’s on him to play better. The Steelers travel to Green Bay next week.

Golden Tornadoes stomp Bethany College 42-7!

The Geneva Golden Tornadoes defeated the Bethany College Bison 42-7 tonight. The game was very one sided game, it started when the Golden Tornadoes blocked a punt that resulted in a touchdown. After that it was all down hill for the Bison as they could not string together any good drives. The Golden Tornadoes scored 28 unanswered points in the first quarter, the second quarter the Bison were able to move the ball a little resulting in 7 points. And the Golden Tornadoes took a commanding 35-7 lead going into the half. The second half was a lot less exciting as both traded turnovers during the third and part of the fourth quarter. But, despite the fight the Bison put up it was not enough to overcome the Golden Tornadoes. The Bison move to 0-4 on the year and they will play Carnegie Mellon next week, and as for the Golden Tornadoes they move to 2-2 and will play Washington and Jefferson.
