MOHNTON, Pa. -- Leah Pritchett raced to her first career No. 1 qualifier in Top Fuel on Saturday in the Dodge NHRA Nationals.Pritchett had a 3.705-second pass at 327.35 mph at Maple Grove Raceway. She won in Phoenix this year for her first career victory and is ninth in the NHRA Mello Yello Countdown to the Championship playoffs.It feels pretty phenomenal, Pritchett said. Its right there behind winning a race, but this is do-or-die time. This is the time of digging deep for the Countdown, and to be No. 1 at one of the fastest racetracks says a lot about my team. There were a lot of things going on with that run, and to be No. 1 is really awesome, but we came here to win the race.Matt Hagan topped the Funny Car field, Vincent Nobile was fastest in Pro Stock, and Andrew Hines qualified No. 1 in Pro Stock Motorcycle in the third event in the six-race Countdown.NHRA officials were forced to cancel the second session of qualifying Saturday because of persistent showers and mist. Because the scheduled Friday sessions also were wiped out, racers had only one session to qualify for the final eliminations Sunday.Hagan pushed his Dodge Charger R/T to a 3.873 at 333.99 to set both ends of the track record. The two-time Funny Car season champion claimed his fifth No. 1 of the season and 26th of his career. Hes sixth in the standings with three wins and two runner-up finishes this year.Nobile had a 6.552 at 211.83 in a Chevrolet Camaro, and points leader Hines ran a 6.784 at 196.22 on a Harley-Davidson.Megan Rapinoe USA Jersey .

Louis Blues teammates who would also be participating in the Olympics, Alex Pietrangelo felt right at home, no different in some ways to the travel experience of any old road trip – save for the length of the journey, that is. MIAMI -- Michael McKenry dove to his left, snagging an errant pitch that was sailing behind Miamis Placido Polanco to save what almost certainly would have been a run. And that was just one of many highlights in McKenrys night. McKenry had a career-best four hits and drove in two runs, Neil Walker and Garrett Jones each added two RBIs, and the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Miami Marlins 7-4 on Saturday. McKenry, who came in batting .191, raised his average 26 points with a double and three singles -- but tweaked his left knee during the game, and merely trotted up the first-base line after grounding to short to open the ninth. Walker added three hits for the Pirates, the NL wild-card leaders who set the tone with three first-inning runs against Tom Koehler (2-6). "Its all right," McKenry said of his knee, which could be a big issue for the Pirates since starter Russell Martin was also out of the lineup with what the team thinks is a minor knee injury. "Its just kind of stuck." Charlie Morton (3-2) allowed a season-high nine hits in five innings, but still found a way to win consecutive starts for the first time since May 2011. Mark Melancon worked the ninth for his fourth save. Koehler gave up nine hits and five runs in five innings. Logan Morrison tied a season-high with three hits, Giancarlo Stanton also had three hits, and Christian Yelich added a pair for the Marlins, who are 3-35 when allowing at least five runs. "Offensively, I was happy with the way we bounced back and gave ourselves a chance," Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "We were battling from behind the whole game. ... After the third inning we didnt get much going but pitched well enough to keep it close." The Pirates finished with 14 hits, their most since June 12. McKenry was a most improbable catalyst of that attack. The light-hitting catcher came into the night with four hits in 32 at-bats, and only three hits in July. But his RBI single capped a three-run first inning -- Pittsburghs highest-scoring opening frame since June 18 -- and he added another single in the third to push the Pirates lead to 5-1. He added a double in the fifth and a single in the seventh. McKenry also saved an almost-sure run in the fifth to preserve what was then a 5-4 lead. Morton threw a pitch wildly, but McKenry snagged it and keep it from headding toward the backstop, keeping Stanton at third.dddddddddddd "I take a lot of pride in not letting balls get by me," McKenry said. "Its another way to keep somebody from getting a free 90 (feet), especially when theyre at third base. It was a one-run ballgame at the time, it would have made it 5-5, so that was a big moment. I think it was a funny sequence because Im sure Polanco felt really uncomfortable after that." Polanco wound up striking out. "Thats the second time hes caught a ball thrown behind a hitter this year," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. "I dont know how you do that." Walker and Garrett Jones each drove in two runs for Pittsburgh. By the time Koehler had thrown five pitches, the Pirates were up 1-0. Starling Marte smacked a double just to the inside of the third-base bag on Koehlers second pitch, and three offerings later, Walker hit a ball to nearly the same spot to open the scoring. Jones blooped a double into short left to make it 2-0, and McKenry got one under Polancos glove and into right for the third run. "I thought as a whole group, we swung the bat really well," McKenry said. "The bullpen came in and just shut the door tonight. It was fun." It was the third time Koehler allowed at least three first-inning runs in six starts, but Miami clawed back. Stanton doubled to bring Yelich home and start what became a three-run third for Miami. One batter later, Morrison looped a soft single into left, and Stanton read it correctly, taking off almost on contact and scoring easily. Polanco added a single to bring Morrison home and get the Marlins within a run, but they got no closer. NOTES: The Marlins said right-hander Kevin Slowey (right forearm) is heading to the disabled list, with a corresponding move coming Sunday. ... Pirates SS Jordy Mercers 11-game hitting streak ended. ... Sundays pitching matchup pits a pair of stellar rookies, with All-Star Jose Fernandez (6-5, 2.74) going for Miami against Pittsburghs Gerrit Cole (5-3, 3.51). ...

Marlins closer Steve Cishek has converted 16 straight save chances. "Couldnt get him in the game the first two months and now hes pitching a lot, which is great," Redmond said. ' ' '
