Jerricho Cotchery Elite Jersey . The defending champions won three and halved one of the four greensomes in the morning to lead 9-5 before taking 2 1/2 points out of four in the afternoons foursomes. The tournament ends Sunday with 10 singles matches. Britain & Ireland need only 2 1/2 more points for victory as the defending champions keep the title in the event of a draw. Spanish golf great Seve Ballesteros created the event, a biennial competition, to help Europeans get more match-play experience outside the Ryder Cup. Britain & Ireland have won the trophy five straight times after Continental Europe captured the inaugural event in 2000. Second-ranked Lee Westwood and World Match Play champion Ian Poulter each won twice on Saturday to help Britain & Ireland open up a five-point gap after Continental Europe pulled within a point on Friday. "Great turnaround, great reaction after what happened yesterday," Britain & Ireland captain Paul McGinley told the European Tour website. "We didnt panic. We kept things in perspective. We went out today with a very good attitude." In the greensomes, Jamie Donaldson and Simon Dyson beat Nicolas Colsaerts and Matteo Manassero 2 and 1 to give Britain & Ireland the first point. Poulter and Ross Fisher then defeated Thomas Bjorn and Raphael Jacquelin 2 and 1, while Westwood and Scott Jamieson outclassed Miguel Angel Jimenez and Pablo Larrazabal 4 and 3. Continental Europes Peter Hanson and Alexander Noren halved their match with Darren Clarke and David Horsey after Hanson birdied the last hole. Britain & Ireland made the difference on the back nine. Westwood and Jamieson won six straight holes and were the only pairing leading at the turn while the other three matches were still all square. "They seemed like they hit the right shot at the right time," Continental Europe captain Jean Van de Velde told the European Tour website. "Its just unfortunate its 3 1/2- 1/2. At one stage, it was looking like it could be 2-2." In the foursomes, Bjorn and Anders Hansen beat Fisher and Mark Foster 3 and 2 to secure Continental Europes only victory on Saturday. Robert Rock and Donaldson were 1 up before the last hole but Donaldson missed a 3-foot putt to split the point with Francesco Molinari and Manassero. Jacquelin and Colsaerts combined for four bogeys to lose to Westwood and Horsey 4 and 3. "Lee Westwood is just the dream player to have on your team," McGinley said. "Hes got absolutely no ego whatsoever about who he plays with, what opposition he plays with, and any role that I give him, hes happy to take on." Dyson chipped in for eagle on the 17th to earn with Poulter a 3 and 1 win over Larrazabal and Noren. Jason Avant Youth Jersey .

"There are a lot of kids out there in my situation, probably far worse situations," he said in a phone interview with The Associated Press.CHICAGO -- Chris Johnson and the Atlanta Braves capitalized on a day when the ball was flying at Wrigley Field. And Mike Minor toughed it out on a day when it was tough to pitch. Johnson homered twice and Minor hit his second career home run, leading the Atlanta Braves over the Chicago Cubs 11-6 on Saturday. Johnson and Justin Upton each drove in four runs for the Braves. Johnson and Minor homered and Upton hit a three-run double as Atlanta scored six times in the fourth inning for a 9-3 lead. "Its one of those days at Wrigley when you get the ball up in the air and the ball keeps travelling," Johnson said. "Mike battled though. Its a tough place to pitch on days like this. He battled and kept us in the game. We were able to get enough. Minor (3-5) allowed six runs and 11 hits in six innings, improving to 6-0 in his career against the Cubs. The Braves won for the second time in seven games. They hit no home runs in their previous six games and one in their last 12 games. Upton and Justin Heyward had RBI singles in the ninth for Atlanta. David Carpenter pitched two innings for his third save. "Today is one of those days we need all the offence we can get because the wind was blowing out, typical Wrigley Field wind blowing out," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "We never felt comfortable." Chris Coghlan hit two doubles and drove in three runs for the Cubs, who have lost seven of nine. Edwin Jackson (5-10) lasted just 3 2-3 innings after giving nine runs, seven hits and three home runs. "Its just one of those embarrassing, horrendous games," Jackson said. "Flatt out, theres no other way to put it. Mario Addison Elite Jersey. Your team does a great job and battles back, and you continually give up the lead. Its pretty much unacceptable." The Cubs scored three runs in the fifth to cut the lead to 9-6. One run scored on a passed ball before Coghlan hit a two-run double. Johnsons second homer of the day and fifth of the season was a two-run shot and made it 5-3 in the fourth. Johnsons third career multihomer game was his first since 2012. "Im not trying to hit home runs," Johnson said. "I got the first one pretty good. The second one I think it was just a line drive." Minor padded the lead with a solo shot. His other home run came in 2013 against the New York Mets. "I remember both (home runs)," Minor said. "The other one surprised me a little bit because I didnt think I could hit the ball like that. Today, I tried to stay back a little bit more. He threw me, I felt like, the same pitch the first at-bat and I was coming around it. It was one of those days I felt like I was seeing the ball good, got lucky and hit it." NOTES: Gonzalez said he was undecided about the order of his rotation after the All-Star break. He said Minor and Alex Wood would be staggered. "It depends on what happens in the next two days, whos healthy and if somebody needs a few extra days," Gonzalez said. ... Braves C Evan Gattis (bulging disk) was scheduled to take part in light drills and batting practice at the Single-A facility in Rome, Georgia, for the second straight day. While encouraged, Gonzalez said no timetable had been set for his return from the disabled list. Cheap Jerseys ' ' '
