However, in the 58th minute, midfielder Rafael Baca received his second yellow card of the match, leaving the Earthquakes a man down. Despite the man advantage, the Union failed to break through thanks to a gritty defensive effort from San Jose’s backline.

Sam Cronin had a shot at the equalizer after some good combination play by the Quakes just minutes later. Cordell Cato found Alan Gordon with a cross at the back post and he headed it down for Cronin 10 yards from goal, but his shot was deflected by the defense and Shea Salinas’ follow up was saved by Ousted. Kenny Miller put Whitecaps FC up by two goals on a broken play in the 74th minute. Russell Teibert slid a ball to Reo-Coker, who fanned on a shot.

SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES INTERIM HEAD COACH MARK WATSON

On match:
“I’m proud of the guys tonight. We played well in the first half, but when Rafa [Baca] was sent off, it changed the game. At that point, it was all about mentality and I thought we did a great job of getting organized and challenging every ball. In the end, we got three points that we needed to keep us in the playoff race.”

On six-game home winning streak:
“At home, you are in familiar surroundings; you don’t have any travel and when you combine that with great fans,  you can get some wins. We know that we will have to get some points on the road in this final stretch though if we want to get into the playoffs.”

On Shea Salinas:
“Shea [Salinas] looked good tonight. He has had a couple of games as a sub coming off of his injury and he played well in our recent Reserve League game. He had his pace tonight and he was dangerous throughout the match. He also had a great finish for the goal.”


SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES MIDFIELDER SHEA SALINAS

On his goal:
“[Alan] Gordon made a nice run to take his defender away. I saw open space and then [Sam] Cronin hit a perfect ball; the defender fell down and I managed to somehow slide my shot past the goalkeeper. I was glad to be in the right place at the right time.”

On defensive effort:
“As a team, we ran a whole lot tonight. Jason [Hernandez] was awesome in the back alongside Justin [Morrow]. [Jon] Busch was great as well. It was a great defensive effort and it always feels great to keep a clean sheet.”

On home atmosphere:
“I think we’re comfortable here. We like the grass, the fans are loud, and now we just need to carry that energy over to the road.”


SAN JOSE EARTHQUAKES DEFENDER JUSTIN MORROW

On clean sheet:
“It was a gritty effort and a tough game. We went down a man, but we worked hard and pushed through it thanks to a great all-around effort from the boys.”

On home unbeaten streak:
“We feel confident whenever we play at home and I think that shows in our play. The fans support is amazing every time we step on this field and we players really appreciate their energy.”

Por su parte Carolina Tabares, quien viene de debutar en el Mundial de Atletismo de Moscú, buscará su segunda corona en tierras antioqueñas, luego de vencer el año anterior con guarismo de 1:17:08, y de paso sumar su quinto título nacional en el 2013.

Junto a ellos estarán el bogotano Jason Gutiérrez, segundo el año pasado en Medellín y actual titular de la Internacional de Girardot; el caldense William Naranjo, primero en el Ascenso a la Catedral de Envigado y segundo en la Fomanort de Cúcuta en esta temporada y el bogotano Jhon Tello, segundo en la Allianz 15k.

Los colombianos tendrán como grandes rivales, entre otros al brasileño Marilson Gomes Dos Santos, el mejor fondista de Suramérica; los africanos, Edwin Kipsang Rotich, actual campeón de la San Silvestre en Sao Paulo y la Carrera de Los Reyes 10k de Brasil; Luka Kanda, cinco veces ganador de la Media Maratón de Lion y titular de la Maratón de Roma; Mark Korir, campeón de las medias maratones de Rio de Janeiro, Asunción y Cataratas de Iguazú; Nancy Jepkosgei Kiprop, campeona de la Media Maratón de las Cataratas de Iguazú, Brasil, en 2013 (1:11:40), campeona y recordista de 10k Rio Carrera Panamericana 2011 con 34min 08s; e Inés Melchor de Perú, segunda recientemente en la media maratón de Bogotá.

La escuadra Porvenir se ha caracterizado en los 21 kilómetros antioqueños por tener en sus filas a los mejores colombianos en los últimos siete años e ingresar en el pódium desde el año 2008. Razón por la cual ésta cita atlética se ha  convertido en un objetivo obligado de todos los años, dentro del calendario del equipo.

A’s Raise $61,395 Through Annual Breast Cancer Awareness Day

 

OAKLAND, Calif. — The Oakland Athletics today raised $61,395 on A’s Breast Cancer Awareness Day with proceeds benefiting the American Cancer Society and Cancer Prevention Institute of California. Since the inaugural event in 1999, the Oakland A’s and their partners have raised more than $1.3 million for breast cancer education and research.

Funds were raised through the sale of special ticket packages, commemorative pins, hats, pink jerseys, heart ribbon pendants, an A's autographed quilt raffle, and fan and sponsor support. This year’s total donation eclipsed last year’s total by nearly 15 percent.

Pre-game ceremonies featured more than 350 Bay Area breast cancer survivors forming a symbolic human ribbon on the field in dedication of hope and survival, and the release of white doves as a symbol of hope.

A portion of the total donation includes the 10^th annual "A Gift of Faith" grant, through which the A’s donate $5,000 to a local charity in memory of longtime KTVU Channel 2 reporter, the late Faith Fancher. This year's grant and award were presented to Breast Cancer Connections, a local charity that provides services to those touched by breast cancer.
