SAN FRANCISCO -- From the rousing standing ovation he received in the first inning to the one he got after giving up a pair of home runs in the sixth, Pirates right-hander Ryan Vogelsong had a tough time staying focused in his return to AT&T Park.After spending parts of seven seasons in San Francisco and helping the Giants win two World Series titles, the normally stoic Vogelsong couldnt help but get caught up in the emotions of the moment.His Pittsburgh teammates helped make the night even more memorable.Gregory Polanco had a homer and four RBI, and Vogelsong and the Pirates beat the Giants 8-5 on Monday night.Im really tired mentally, Vogelsong said. I wouldnt expect anything less from these fans. Theyre first class and they always have been.Andrew McCutchen added two hits, two RBI and made a spectacular diving , backhanded catch in the eighth to help Pittsburgh move within one game of idle St. Louis for the second NL wild card.That was enough for Vogelsong (2-2) to win despite an up-and-down outing.Vogelsong allowed four runs over 5 2/3 innings, walking three and striking out one before leaving to his second standing ovation of the night.I dont think it was just another day at the park, Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said. I dont think you can prep for things like this. He was so amped up he didnt really want me to come out and take the ball from him.Fans stood and cheered when Vogelsong, an All-Star with San Francisco in 2011, took the mound in the first, and a video montage of his time with the Giants played on the scoreboard while he warmed.When he left after allowing Denard Spans home run in the sixth, Vogelsong paused en route to the dugout and tipped his cap to the crowd.There are moments in these games that you want to hold on to and remember for the rest of your life. Tonight was one of those for me, Vogelsong said. It was amazing.Span had three hits, including a home run, and Eduardo Nunez also homered for the Giants.Polanco hit a two-run double off starter Matt Moore (0-2) in the fourth, then drove in two more runs with his 17th home run of the season in the sixth.Francisco Cervelli singled, walked twice and made a sparkling defensive play to tag out a runner at home to help Vogelsong win for the first time since coming off the 60-day DL after being hit in the face with a pitch on May 23.Tony Watson, the fourth Pirates reliever, retired three batters for his sixth save.Vogelsong walked Joe Panik with the bases loaded in the first inning, then gave up an RBI single to Hunter Pence in the third.San Francisco missed a chance to add on when Pence overran third base on Nunezs double and was thrown out while scrambling back to the bag.We had some chances, Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. We just couldnt finish up with men on base.BIG PLAYLeft fielder Starling Marte saved a run in the second when he threw out Trevor Brown trying to score from second base on Spans single. Martes throw was slightly up the third-base line, but Cervelli made a stellar sweeping tag for the out.DOWN ... AND OUTPence made a spectacular defensive play when he caught Josh Harrisons foul ball while on his back after stumbling on the mound in the visiting teams bullpen.TRAINERS ROOMPirates: Marte was back in the lineup after sitting Sunday with a sore upper back.Giants: Buster Posey sat for the second straight game due to tightness in his lower back.UP NEXTPirates: Jameson Taillon (3-2) faces the Giants for the first time in his career Tuesday night. The right-hander has allowed one earned run over his last 14 innings.Giants: RHP Jeff Samardzija (10-8) makes his second start against Pittsburgh this season. The Pirates knocked Samardzija out of the game after three innings on June 22. Discount Air Jordan 5 Retro .

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Mason Zandi was grateful his South Carolina teammates dug when it wouldve been easy to give in. The result has the Gamecocks back in the postseason after missing out last season.The Gamecocks (6-5) won for the fourth time in the past five games to become bowl eligible with a 44-31 victory over Western Carolina on Saturday night. Zandi always believed, even with his team at 2-4 and facing several big challenges, South Carolina would succeed.We came together as a team. Nobody points fingers at each other. Nobody says, `Oh, woe is me, Zandi, the left tackle, said. Im incredibly proud to play next to these people.And Zandi, a fifth-year senior, will have one additional game to savor.Deebo Samuel scored three touchdowns, including a 100-yard kickoff return, while Rico Dowdle ran for 226 yards and two scores in South Carolinas win.Samuel, the sophomore receiver, made his mark in the running game with a pair of 2-yard TD runs and with his dazzling return on a first-quarter kickoff as the Gamecocks (6-5) doubled their win total from a year ago.This is a huge relief for us, Zandi said. Its even bigger for the program moving forward.The Catamounts (2-9) of the FCS Southern Conference kept denting the Gamecocks defense and were within 41-31 after Detrez Newsomes 93-yard kickoff return touchdown with 9:13 to go.But South Carolina was able to hold on and avoid the embarrassment of a second straight FCS defeat after falling to Citadel 23-22 in their 3-9 season last fall.At the end of the day, we needed to get to a bowl game, first-year South Carolina coach Will Muschamp said . It was really important with where we were after our first games.Freshman tailback Dowdle had a 43-yard touchdown run on South Carolinas opening series, then a 1-yard TD rush on the teams next series. He has rushed for over 100 yards in three of the past four games.Dowdles total yards were the most since Gamecocks great Marcus Lattimore gained 246 in a win over Navy in 2011.A.J. Turner added 97 yards rushing for South Carolina, which ran for 422 yards, its highestt total since gaining 352 yards rushing against Coastal Carolina in 2013.dddddddddddd.Western Carolina fell to 0-52 against Football Bowl Subdivision teams and 0-19 all-time against Southeastern Conference opponents.THE TAKEAWAYDespite an early flourish, Western Carolina was overrun by its quicker, stronger FBS opponent. But the FCS school, which received $400,000 to come to South Carolina, has several FBS teams on upcoming schedules. Next year, the Catamounts play Hawaii and North Carolina. In 2018, its the Tar Heels again before facing North Carolina State in 2019.South Carolina is still getting its feet wet under new coach Will Muschamp. Where more advanced SEC teams mightve run from the Catamounts at the start, the young Gamecocks needed some time to get going before securing the win. Thats a big reason the coach wanted his team to qualify for the bowl -- the extra weeks of prep, planning, film study and practice the postseason gives his building program.FCS BACKERWestern Carolina coach Mark Speir said he hears all the time that SEC teams should not take on FCS teams like the Catamounts. This was a great game, said Speir, whose team scored more points on the Gamecocks than any other this season. I think the fans had a great time. Thirty-three of our players got a scholarship to come to Western Carolina because South Carolina gave us the opportunity to come down here and play.SAMUELS SWEEPReceiver Deebo Samuel has been an effective scorer for South Carolina near the goal line. He had two touchdowns near the goal line, running a patented jet-sweep play. That jet sweep has been money for us, Samuel said, smiling.How long did it take Muschamp and the offensive staff to know Samuel could be effective in the red zone? After about the third day of spring practice, Muschamp said.UP NEXTWestern Carolinas season is finished.South Carolina plays at Clemson on Saturday, trying to end a two-game losing streak to its rival.
