HONOLULU -- Mississippi State is getting used to a new role these days.Just five days after notching their biggest win under fifth-year coach Vic Schaefer, the seventh-ranked Bulldogs held off a pesky Oregon team, 75-63, in the first day of the Rainbow Wahine Showdown on Friday.Victoria Vivians scored 17 points and Morgan William added 14 to pace Mississippi State (5-0).Vivians, a 6-foot-1 junior guard and a first team preseason All-SEC selection, made 7 of 13 shots from the field despite being in foul trouble for much of the second half.Oregon cut the Mississippi State lead from 39-30 at halftime to just two points following Sabrina Ionescus 3-pointer from the right corner with 5:57 left in the third quarter.However, Vivians drained a deep 3-pointer from the left wing on the Bulldogs next possession and added a 10-foot pull-up to stretch their lead back to 49-42.She picked up her fourth foul with 1:55 left in the third quarter and played just 10 minutes after halftime.Mississippi State coach Vic Schaefer praised the play of reserve guards Blair Schaefer and Roshuna Johnson, who combined for 24 minutes of game time while relieving Vivians.I was real proud of Blair and Roshuna coming off the bench and giving us those quality minutes at that spot, said Schaefer, whose team posted a 79-68 win over then-No. 7 Texas Sunday.Were learning that were the hunted now. Weve been the hunters for a long time, (but) we are now the hunted and thats a new role for this team, so were learning how to accept that night in, night out, Schaefer said. I thought tonight we took their best shot in the third quarter and came back and answered it with my best player in foul trouble.Mississippi State (5-0) shot 51.9 percent from the field.Lexi Bando and Sabrina Ionescu each scored 14 points for the Ducks (4-1).In the second half we got back to what we like to do, which is get the ball side, top, side, Oregon coach Kelly Graves said. We had a little bit more motion and flow to our game and that helped, but then we got away from it at the end. They clamped down and theyre a good team.Oregon was called for 27 fouls to 19 for Mississippi State and had three players finish with four fouls.BIG PICTUREMississippi State: has now won 33 of its last 34 regular-season none-conference games going back to the 2014-15 seasons, including 13 straight victories in such games.Oregon: shot just 39.3 percent from the field in the first half, but kept it close by shooting 50 percent (12 of 24) after halftime. The Ducks were playing their first game away from home.HIGHLIGHT REELOregon got within six points of Mississippi State following a free throw by Morgan William that made it 53-47. The Ducks looked to cut the deficit even further when Jayde Woods broke free for a transition lay-up, but Breanna Richardson soared from behind and blocked her shot with just seconds remaining in the period. The big defensive play was a four-point swing for the Bulldogs and helped them regain momentum heading into the final quarter.INFLUX OF YOUTHOf the 14 players that saw court time for Oregon, half of them are freshmen. The Ducks recruiting class, which is ranked third nationally behind Maryland and Baylor, features four players that were Gatorade state players of the year in high school, including Ionescu, last years national player of the year.We grew up a lot tonight, theres no doubt, Graves said. Thats a senior-laden Mississippi State team. Those are veterans and a couple of times we had four freshmen on the floor for long stretches. Theyre just learning how to play the game. Theyre really talented, but physically, were not ready for this yet. That being said, we hung with them for a long time.UP NEXTMississippi State will play San Jose State Saturday, which will mark just the second meeting between the programs and first since Dec. 19, 2004, when the Bulldogs held on for a 66-60 win over the Spartans.Oregon faces tournament-host Hawaii Saturday, which leads the all-time series against the Ducks 3-1.

But when it comes to determining if Raymond will find a place on the Leafs roster when training camp concludes in a week, well, that decision will ultimately fall to the head coach.NEW YORK, N.Y. - Josh Satin and the New York Mets were determined not to lose another long game at Citi Field, especially one that had pushed past 5 hours. No worries. The suddenly smooth-swinging Satin and rookie Andrew Brown took care of it. Brown hit a two-run single with two outs in the 13th inning and the Mets put together a pair of late rallies to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 5-4 on Monday night, handing the NL West leaders their fourth straight loss. "Walking a team off at the end — theres no greater feeling," Satin said after his second three-hit game in a row. Satin tied it with an RBI single in the ninth off Arizona closer J.J. Putz, his first save opportunity since the ex-Met went on the disabled list May 8. Cody Ross led off the 13th with a homer against David Aardsma (1-0), but the Mets fought back again against the Diamondbacks bullpen. Satin doubled with one out off Josh Collmenter (4-1) and John Buck was intentionally walked, putting the potential winning run on base. Mets pitcher Matt Harvey pinch hit for Aardsma and sacrificed the runners over. After Omar Quintanilla was also intentionally walked, Brown lined an 0-2 pitch into left-centre and was mobbed by teammates near first base well after midnight. Collmenter slammed his glove to the ground and then yelled in frustration as he walked off the field. "Give those guys credit for coming back," Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said. "Its a tough loss." Arizona right fielder Gerardo Parra was injured in the eighth when he hit his face hard on the warning track trying to make a diving catch on Quintanillas triple. The Diamondbacks said a Mets team doctor ruled out a concussion for Parra, a 2011 Gold Glove winner. Wearing black armbands on their jerseys to honour the 19 firefighters who died Sunday in a wildfire about 80 miles northwest of Phoenix, the Diamondbacks fell to 2-5 on a 10-game road trip against the NL East. The Mets won for the fourth time in 12 home games, needing 5 hours, 13 minutes to secure it. "If youre going to be out there that long you might as well win the game," manager Terry Collins said. "We were out of pitching, I can tell you that." The Diamondbacks appeared poised to snap a three-game skid and end a long drought of winless starts by their starters at 23 games (0-10), opening an early 3-0 lead behind Paul Goldschmidts two-run homer, his 20th, and Aaron Hills RBI single in the second off Shaun Marcum. "I thought that was going to be the one that sort of got us going as far as getting our starters a win," Ross said. The bullpen spoiled it. New York tied it in the ninth against Putz. Marlonn Byrd hit a double off the very top of the wall — a call upheld by replay review — and Satin drove him in with a single.dddddddddddd New York had an opportunity to win it there but Buck was thrown out trying to advance to second base on a wild pitch that moved Satin to third, ending the inning. Putz said he felt fine, it was just poor execution against Byrd. "I just didnt finish the pitch," Putz said of the split-fingered fastball that he wanted to bounce in the dirt. Satin was called up when buddy Ike Davis was sent to Triple-A Las Vegas in a deep funk, and the 28-year-old first baseman with just 64 major league at-bats has been the teams hottest hitter the past week. Hes batting .444 (12 for 27) in the last seven games, and earning more playing time. "Josh deserves some at-bats. Hes getting some big hits. It doesnt matter if theyre left-handed or right-handed. Hes getting big hits for us," Collins said. "Ill tell you what: Every team has somebody that surprises you and saves you. And right now, hes our saviour cause this guy has come up and filled a big hole for us." The Mets started their comeback after Wade Miley was lifted following 5 2-3 innings of shutout ball. He was the last Diamondbacks starter to win — on June 5. David Wright had an RBI single off Brad Ziegler in the seventh and Eric Young Jr. a run-scoring double off David Hernandez after a 10-minute delay when Parra got hurt. Parra was able to walk off the field without assistance after being examined by a Diamondbacks trainer and two EMTs right in front of the Arizona bullpen. Quintanilla scored on Youngs two-out double to make it 3-2. Goldschmidt, who was 1 for 9 during a three-game weekend sweep in Atlanta, gave Miley a quick cushion. He hit a 2-1 pitch from Marcum after Hill was hit by a pitch with one out in the first. Hill added an RBI single in the second before Marcum settled in for six innings. Then five Mets relievers shut down Arizona, giving up just four hits until Ross homer. NOTES: The Mets and Diamondbacks each hung a jersey in their dugouts bearing the name "Yarnell" — the locale of the fire — and the No. 19. Those jerseys were shown on the scoreboard at Citi Field during a moment of silence before the national anthem. ... Mets SS Ruben Tejada (strained quadriceps) played his third game for the Gulf Coast League Mets and went 2 for 4 with an RBI while playing all nine innings. Tejada will continue his rehab at Triple-A Las Vegas but will have to earn his way back to the big leagues, Collins said. ...
