Pens Re-Sign Fedotenko
PITTSBURGH (AP) - The Pittsburgh Penguins have agreed to terms on a one-year contract with forward Ruslan Fedotenko, who joined the team a year ago as a free agent. The 30-year-old winger had 16 goals and 23 assists in 65 regular-season games, before scoring seven goals in 24 playoff games during the Penguins' run to their third Stanley Cup championship.
Federer And Roddick In Wimbledon Final
WIMBLEDON, England (AP) - Five-time champion Roger Federer has
reached his seventh straight Wimbledon final and will face Andy
Roddick for a chance at a record 15th Grand Slam title.
Second-seeded Federer delivered a masterful grass-court
performance to beat 34th-ranked Tommy Haas of Germany, 7-6, 7-5,
6-3. The victory extends the Swiss star's winning run to 18
consecutive matches. He's trying to surpass the mark of 14 major
titles he shares with Pete Sampras.
Federer will meet Andy Roddick in the Wimbledon final for the
third time in six years. The sixth-seeded American defeated
Scotsman Andy Murray 6-4, 4-6, 7-6, 7-6 in the day's second
semifinal. Federer beat Roddick in the 2004 and '05 finals and
leads 18-2 in head-to-head meetings.
The third-seeded Murray had been seeking to become the first
British man to reach the final in 71 years and first to take the
title since Fred Perry in 1936.
Penguins Lose Scuderi
Free agent defenseman Rob Scuderi, whose value certainly increased with steady, and at times, spectacular play for the Pittsburgh Penguins during the Stanley Cup Playoffs, has signed with the Los Angeles Kings. The reported, but not officially confirmed, value of the contract is $13.6 million over four years. Scuderi's signing means the Penguins have lost two reliable defenseman in the first two days of the free agent signing period. Hal Gill signed a 2-year contract with the Montreal Canadiens Wednesday.
Pirates Lose Wild One
PITTSBURGH (AP) - Ryan Church singled in the go-ahead run in the
10th inning, and the New York Mets beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 9-8
Thursday after overcoming a five-run deficit and then wasting a
ninth-inning lead.
Adam LaRoche hit a tying two-run homer in the ninth against
Francisco Rodriguez before the Mets rebounded to win the makeup of
a June 3 rainout.
New York (39-39) headed into a big weekend series at
Philadelphia back at .500 with consecutive wins following a
five-game losing streak. It was the Mets' biggest deficit overcome
for a win this season.
Wild Things Avoid Sweep
Jacob Dempsey's two-run homerun in the eighth inning broke a 4-4 to lift the Wild Things to an 8-4 win over Florence Thursday night. Chris Sidick and Michael Parker each drove in two runs in the victory. Reliever Aaron Fuhrman (1-2) earned the victory in relief tossing 2 1/3 scoreless innings, following starter Craig Snipp's longest outing of the season, six innings. Nick Peterson picked up his sixth save as the Wild Things snapped a three-game skid. Washington visits Kalamazoo to start a three game series tonight. Airtime is at 6:55 on WJPA-FM (95.3).
