Sports Update For Indiana Sunday May 1, 2011 Baseball Basketball Football Golf Hockey Racing Soccer Baseball MLB: San Diego 5, Los Angeles Dodgers 2 LOS ANGELES (UPI) -- Will Venable scored the tie-breaking run on an eighth-inning wild pitch Saturday and the San Diego Padres went on to a 5-2 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. With the score tied 2-2, Venable led off the eighth with a single against Matt Guerrier (2-2), going to second on Jason Bartlett's single and to third on Ryan Ludwick's sacrifice bunt. After Chase Headley was intentionally walked and Nick Hundley popped out, Orlando Hudson was batting when Guerrier uncorked a wild pitch to put the Padres up 3-2. Cameron Maybin then grounded a hit to left that scored Bartlett. Headley also came around and would have been out at the plate but he knocked the ball out of the hands of catcher Dioner Navarro for an error. Luke Gregerson (1-1) collected the win despite allowing a score-tying single to Tony Gwynn Jr. in the seventh inning. Mike Adams tossed a scoreless eighth and Heath Bell picked up his sixth save with a 1-2-3 ninth. James Loney drove in a run with a sacrifice fly for the Dodgers.

Ozougwu was selected by the Houston Texans with the 254th and final pick of the seven-round draft. The pick wrapped up three days of drafting by NFL teams at Radio City Music Hall in New York, which was conducted under the shadow of a renewed lockout of players by team owners. The title "Mr. Irrelevant" was coined by former NFL receiver Paul Salata in the 1970s when he instituted a one-week vacation trip in Newport Beach, Calif., in honor of the last player taken in the draft, during which he is treated to golf tournament, a regatta and a roast. Saturday began with the Carolina Panthers choosing Brandon Hogan, a 5-foot-10 defensive back out of West Virginia. Nebraska running back Roy Helu was taken by the Washington Redskins a few picks later in the fifth round. Copyright 2011 by United Press International Golf Thompson, 16, shares LPGA Classic lead MOBILE, Ala. (UPI) -- Sixteen-year-old Alexis Thompson carded a 5-under-par 67 Saturday, earning a tie with Song-Hee Kim after three rounds of the Avnet LPGA Classic. Thompson and Kim (2-under 70) were knotted at 7-under 209, one shot ahead of Amy Yang (72) at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail in Mobile, Ala. Should Thompson hang on for the victory, she would smash the record of the youngest-ever LPGA Tour event winner. The record is held by Marlene Hagge, who won 1952 Sarasota Open at 18 years, 14 days. That, however, was only an 18-hole event. The record for a full tournament is 18 years, 9 months, 17 days, set by Paula Creamer at the 2005 Sybase Classic. Tied for fourth place at 5-under 211 are Maria Hjorth (67), Suzann Pettersen (71) and Karen Stupples (72). Copyright 2011 by United Press International More in Golf: Smoltz misses cut at Ga.

(UPI) -- Kyle Busch dominated Saturday, leading for 235 laps before cruising to a victory in the Crown Royal 400 at Richmond International Raceway. Busch expertly conserved fuel down the stretch and finished nearly 2 seconds ahead of teammate Denny Hamlin to collect his second win of the season and the 21st of his Sprint Cup Series career. Busch, Hamlin and third-place finisher Kasey Kahne all gambled that their fuel would hold out on the final 100 laps. The victory was Busch's third straight at Richmond. He became the first driver since Richard Petty in the early 1970s to accomplish the feat. David Ragan and Carl Edwards rounded out the Top 5 in a race that saw Jeff Gordon slam into wall in the late going and fall to 39th place. Copyright 2011 by United Press International Soccer MLS: Chivas USA 3, New England 0 CARSON, Calif. (UPI) -- Nick LaBrocca's first-half header put Chivas USA ahead and the Goats never looked back in their 3-0 victory over New England. LaBrocca soared above two defenders at the near post to head in a cross after an end line save by Ben Zemanski in the 35th minute. The Goats (2-2-3) made it 2-0 just before halftime when Marcos Mondaini scored on an acrobatic volley off a cross from Alejandro Moreno. Chivas wrapped up the scoring when Moreno took advantage of a New England mistake, swooping onto a loose ball 7 yards from the goal and booting it past Revs goalkeeper Bobby Shuttleworth. The Revolution fell to 2-3-3, losing for the third time in four games.
