The Queens Sports Club has witnessed a tie, and a one-run defeat, but still no cigar for West Indies. For the second time in two matches, they went into the final over of a chase with a chance to win. But yet again, they fell just short. Captain Jason Holder put their shortcoming against Sri Lanka on Wednesday down to the relative greenness of this squad.I think its inexperience, Holder said. Theres obviously situations that were not accustomed to being in. Were still a relatively young side. Everybodys trying to make their mark. And I think it boils down to inexperience, and having that know-how at the end to get us across the line. We had set up the game nicely, and Evin Lewis played an exceptional knock to put us in the situation that we were in.Lewis, playing in just his fourth ODI, brought up a maiden fifty in the 12th over, and then reached a 91-ball century, with 12 fours and a six, to leave West Indies well placed at 177 for 3. This was the first time he had opened on the tour, and it seemed to have paid off.Hes one of those guys that likes the ball coming on, so we just felt that with 330 on the board we needed to get off well in the Powerplay and make use of that first up, Holder explained. Him and Johnson Charles did a great job there and put the Sri Lankan bowlers under pressure, capitalising on every bad ball that was bowled.He wasnt done there, opening up to smite three more sixes as wickets fell around him, and he reached 148 (second only to Chris Gayles 153 not out for the highest ODI score by a West Indian in Zimbabwe), battling cramps in the latter stages of his innings. He was there out in the field for 50 overs fielding, and then came back to bat through most of the overs, Holder said. It was a bit of cramp, and I dont think it was anything too serious.Lewis was eventually run-out after a horrible mix-up with his captain. It was the third run-out of the innings, and left West Indies needing 69 off 57. In the company of Carlos Brathwaite, Holder took the game into the last three overs with his side still within touching distance of the asking rate. With 10 needed from the final over, Holder could only manage a single off the first ball to put No. 10 Sulieman Benn on strike. Holder would not see the strike again until the final ball, when three were needed but a pinpoint, 144kph yorker from Nuwan Pradeep secured Sri Lankas win.I was just trying to get on strike, but credit must also be given to the Sri Lankan bowlers, Holder said. I thought they hit their yorkers really well, and the ball was also tailing in to the right-hander. Benn did a tremendous job to hit the six that he did, to bring the game back closer, but unfortunately he got out afterwards. The last ball was a very good ball.The defeat means West Indies face a must-win game against Zimbabwe on Friday if they are to reach the final. They may have to play that game without their opening bowler, after discomfort in his hamstring meant Shannon Gabriel could only bowl five overs today.Were managing some niggles, and Shannon wasnt able to finish his overs today, so were waiting to see if hes good to go for the next game, Holder said. Well see in the next few days. Tim Hardaway Jersey Large . Nathan MacKinnon, Jamie McGinn and Jan Hejda also scored for the Avalanche, who won despite being outshot 38-23.

The Packers play mere blocks away at Lambeau Field, and the Badgers are backed by a statewide following for the only FBS program in the state.Support of the Packers runs deep through these families, but from the cul-de-sac where Carpenters parents reside, the view on college football is different.There are no Badger fans on Sweet Water Court, said Peter Mortell, who was raised next door in the village of Ashwaubenon near the municipal boundary with Green Bay and helped guide Carpenter to become the kicker for rival Minnesota. We still fly the Gopher flag.Mortell, the Big Ten Punter of the Year for 2014, was the teams primary punter for three seasons through last year and finished with a career average of 44 yards per attempt thats the best in program history. He was in training camp with his hometown Packers before being let go prior to the regular season.Following his friends path, Carpenter has put himself on track for even more success as a specialist for the Gophers. In his first year in the role after redshirting in 2014 and being limited to one onside kick in 2015, Carpenter has already picked up two Big Ten Special Teams Player of the Week awards. He leads the conference with 16 field goals made, out of 18 tries, and has converted all 35 extra point attempts.Carpenter made all eight of his kicks last Saturday against Purdue , including field goals from 28, 52 and a career-long 53 yards. He knocked in the game-winner against Rutgers in the closing seconds and at Penn State gave the Gophers the lead with 54 seconds left in regulation and again in overtime of a game they lost. Hes made all seven of his field goal tries from 42 yards or farther.Hes so mentally ahead of the game at his age right now, Mortell said. There are a lot of good kickers out there in the country. There are a lot of kids with big legs who can make big kicks in practice and stuff like that, but it doesnt matter until the moneys on the line in the game, and games are won and lost between the ears with specialists.He added: Get used to start hearing his name, because I think hes just getting started up there.Ryan Santosos desired switch from kicker to punter for his junior season opened the door for Carpenter, who emerged from a four-way competition for the jjob.ddddddddddddI didnt think wed end up going backward on that, from what Id seen in practice, coach Tracy Claeys said.Games arent the same as practice, though, and the 45-yard field goal Carpenter made in the opener against Oregon State was important for both him and the Gophers to see proof he could translate potential to production.I was talking to my parents about the game and all that, and they said, `What did it feel like out there? Carpenter said. And the best way I could describe it to them was that after the first time I stepped on the field for a PAT, I just became addicted to the feeling of being out there. Its a feeling that I never want to go away, and I hope to get to do it as long as I can.Mortell was the one who encouraged Minnesotas coaching staff to look at an under-recruited Carpenter during his senior year at Ashwaubenon. He stood out at a one-day kicking camp hosted by the Gophers and was offered a roster spot as a preferred walk-on.Carpenter brought an all-around athletes ability to the position, with baseball and track in his sporting past, in addition to playing defensive back and wide receiver and earning a first team all-conference honor as a kick returner at Ashwaubenon High School. Carpenter first attended Notre Dame Academy as a freshman when Mortell was a senior there.Since then, the two have continued to practice whenever theyre home at the same time. Mortell, who plans to attend Minnesotas game this Saturday at Nebraska, actually used to babysit Carpenter when they were kids, and Mortell was the one responsible for Carpenters first lost tooth from a front-yard football game. Attending the same grade school, they used to get into trouble for kickball games that turned into distance contests with roofs and windows becoming the targets.Pete, hes the closest thing I have to a big brother, Carpenter said. Hes been an incredible role model for me throughout my entire life, especially getting to watch him throughout football and just how he handles himself on and off the field. There are definitely a lot of lessons I can learn from Pete in all aspects of life.---For more college football coverage: http://www.collegefootball.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
