MILWAUKEE -- With Ryan Braun suspended and their other sluggers injured, the Milwaukee Brewers need to find creative ways to score runs. Jeff Bianchi did just that on Sunday. Bianchi lofted a single that dropped just behind Washingtons drawn-in infield, breaking a tie and capping a five-run sixth inning in the Milwaukee Brewers 8-5 win over the Nationals. "Sometimes youre supposed to hit it where theyre not, right?" Bianchi asked rhetorically after hitting his clutch single and executing a perfect squeeze bunt to score another run. With the score tied 4-4 and runners at second and third, Bianchis soft bloop off Fernando Abad (0-3) dropped in behind second base as Anthony Rendon raced back to make a play. It allowed Khris Davis to score easily from third and Juan Francisco to just beat the throw home with a perfect slide, giving the Brewers the lead for good. "I was just able to get a pitch that I just barely got the bat on," Bianchi said. With Braun done for the season, Aramis Ramirez on the disabled list and Corey Hart out for the year with knee injuries, the soft hit by Bianchi was good enough for a Brewers team that managed only two runs in the first two games of the series. "One inning, sometimes its just one big at-bat -- you dont know whats going to turn things around," Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke said. "We got some breaks." John Axford (5-4) allowed a home run to Adam LaRoche in the top of the sixth but nothing more to earn the win. Jim Henderson pitched the ninth for his 15th save in 18 chances. Milwaukee snapped a three-game losing streak and Roenicke hopes the comeback helps his team during its coming nine-game road trip. "I really enjoyed this," Roenicke said. "You get down, 3-0, and youre thinking the offence hasnt been scoring so its going to be a little tough. "Then you start seeing some good things happen, then a lot of good things happen and it makes you feel good, especially going on a road trip," he said. "Weve got a tough time ahead of us so hopefully this is good for their confidence. It should be." The Brewers were trailing 4-1 against Washington starter Taylor Jordan until breaking through in the sixth. Logan Schafer hit an infield single, Jean Segura doubled and Jonathan Lucroy walked on five pitches to load the bases with no outs. Carlos Gomez hit a sacrifice fly that scored Schafer to pull the Brewers within 4-2. Abad replaced Jordan, and pinch-hitter Davis greeted him by hitting a high chopper in front of the plate that bounced over third baseman Ryan Zimmerman for a single, scoring Segura and making it 4-3. Juan Francisco, batting .111 (3 for 27) against left-handers, was allowed to hit and doubled down the right-field line, scoring Lucroy to tie the score. Bianchi then lofted the ball over the infield for his tie-breaking single. "There was a lot of tough breaks that inning," Jordan said, acknowledging his arm was tired in the frame. "Its not like they were crushing the ball or anything. Just a couple tough breaks." Anthony Rendon opened the seventh with a homer off Mike Gonzalez, hit fifth of the year, but Washington couldnt score the rest of the way. Schafer scored from a third on a groundout by Lucroy to make it 7-5 in the bottom of the seventh. Bianchi executed a squeeze bunt in the eighth that scored Davis from third to give Milwaukee an 8-5 lead. Milwaukee starter Kyle Lohse gave up three runs, two earned, on five hits and a walk while striking out two in five innings. "It was good to see us get some of those lucky bounces," Lohse said. "The guys are battling. Thats pretty good to see out there. We could have just rolled over. We didnt do that and beat a pretty good team." The Nationals took a 3-0 lead in the second. Jayson Werth and Ian Desmond were hit by pitches, and Steve Lombardozzi singled to load the bases. Kurt Suzuki then singled to right-centre to score Werth and Desmond and make it 2-0. Jordan attempted a sacrifice bunt, but Lucroy misplayed the ball for an error, allowing Lombardozzi to score for a 3-0 lead. Notes: LaRoches homer was his second in two games and 16th this year. ...

Hogg scored 25 points, Admon Gilder added 17 points and seven rebounds, and Texas A&M cruised to a comfortable 95-73 win over Cal State Northridge in the first round of the Wooden Legacy at Cal State Fullerton on Thursday.The Aggies (3-1) used a 27-4 run over the final 7:31 of the first half to separate from the Matadors (2-3), holding CSUN without a field goal for the final 9:12 and off the scoreboard entirely for the final 4:28.We made open shots and the floodgates opened, Aggies coach Billy Kennedy said.Hogg provided the offense early on for Texas A&M, scoring 10 of the teams first 14 points, but things got stagnant after he picked up his second foul with 15:11 remaining and sat for the rest of the half. It wasnt until Gilder and Tyler Davis got going, combining for 18 points and eight assists in the half, that Texas A&M found its footing.Micheal Warren had 19 points and Tavrion Dawson added 14 for CSUN, which has now dropped its three games against Power 5 opposition by an average of 21.3 points.Its been a problem for us, keeping our bigs on the floor, and early foul trouble really got us going in the wrong direction, Matadors coach Reggie Theus said.BIG PICTURETexas A&M: The Aggies found their offensive balance. Texas A&M only had three scorers in double figures and was 6 of 23 from 3-point range in its loss to Southern California last week, but had seven players with at least eight points on Thursday as the shot selection and ball distribution was much improved. With a young lineup starting three sophomore and Williams coming off the bench, spreading out production will be key during the ups and downs of SEC play.Cal State Northridge: The Matadors will be battle-tested for their Big West schedule. There is no shame in losing to a team picked to finish third in the SEC, and that 15-point loss at Pauley Pavilion to No. 14 UCLA should llook pretty good come next spring.dddddddddddd With a roster heavy on upperclassmen, nothing they see in conference play or the Big West tournament should rattle CSUN.SURPRISE SPARKTexas A&M switched to a zone defense in the first half after using it sparingly in its first three games. And it proved to be key in allowing the Aggies to cope with Hoggs absence. The combination of the Aggies length, CSUNs foul trouble down low and the shock factor led to 13 turnovers and a 32.1 shooting percentage in the first half for the Matadors.I dont know how much they prepared for it because we havent played it a whole lot, so I think the surprise element helped us more than anything, Kennedy said. Tomorrow I dont know if it will be as efficient.Texas A&M scored a first-half tournament record 53 points.FRESHMAN WILLIAMS IMPROVINGTexas A&M forward Robert Williams had 11 points and seven rebounds, matching his highs in his brief college career, but Kennedy sees the former top-100 recruit as a major contributor moving forward.We just got to go get him a little more tuned-in sometimes, Kennedy said. Hes young but he is really talented, and hes a big piece for us offensively and defensively.Williams was a force around the rim at both ends of the court, blocking four shots and showing a soft shooting touch.UP NEXTTexas A&M is only assured of one more nonconference game against Power 5 opposition, a December 17th home game against No. 8 Arizona. The Aggies will hope to draw Virginia Tech for Fridays second-round game and get a showcase against the Bruins in the championship game Sunday.Cal State Northridge will face the loser of the Hokies-New Mexico game on Friday, and the Matadors will gladly take a drained, beatable opponent after dropping three of four.
