Die Anpflanzler [DA] » Huskies 2-1 on Wednesday

WINNIPEG -- Lirim Hajrullahu knows how important itll be to take advantage of every scoring opportunity when the Winnipeg Blue Bombers host the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Sunday. The rookie kicker has done his part in that department this season, connecting on 22 of his 24 field-goal attempts and having both misses hit the uprights. Watch the game live on TSN1, TSN3, TSN4, TSN5 and TSN GO at 4pm et/1pm pt. His rhythm, though, could be affected in Sundays 11th Banjo Bowl as the Bombers (6-4) have a number of injuries forcing roster changes, including the long-snapper wholl send the ball back to Hajrullahu. Linebacker Ian Wild, who does the long-snapping duties, was injured in Saskatchewans 35-30 Labour Day Classic victory over Winnipeg last weekend and will sit out Sundays sold-out game at Investors Group Field. Hajrullahu said fullbacks Carl Fitzgerald and Michel-Pierre Pontbriand have been zinging the balls back to him close to 100 times in practice this week and hes confident either one can do the job. "Halfway through the season, to have a new snapper is something different, but these guys are professional and I expect them to be just as good on the field," the Western University product said after Fridays practice. And if a few snaps arent perfect, hell deal with them. "If some snaps are different, we always prepare with the drills that if it is a bad snap, what do you do and stuff like that," said Hajrullahu, whos had to do all the kicking the past six games after a hamstring injury to punter Mike Renaud. "I cant have any doubt in my kicks so Im just going to prepare like its any other game." The defending Grey Cup champion Riders (7-2) have won six in a row and are aiming to sweep the season series with the Bombers. The teams have each won five Banjo Bowl games. Winnipeg committed six turnovers that gave the Riders 20 points in their 23-17 victory in Winnipeg on Aug. 7, and then saw the Riders score the winning touchdown last Sunday with 28 seconds left in the game. Bombers head coach Mike OShea isnt satisfied that his team has played Saskatchewan close in this years two clashes. "I want to get these guys. Our players do, too," OShea said. "And we recognize from our film that we cant make the mistakes we made." OShea wouldnt reveal wholl be doing the long-snapping, but its expected Fitzgerald will get the nod as he went into the game last week and had experience at the position for the Saint Marys Huskies. Backup quarterback Brian Brohm remains the holder. "I got thrown in last week and I had to do all the field-goal snaps and I was a little nervous on the first one, but once you do it its just like riding a bike -- you just get back on it and its all right," Fitzgerald said. Winnipeg quarterback Drew Willy injured an ankle in last weeks loss, but he continued playing and has been practising all week and is good to go. The same cant be said for Winnipeg receiver Nick Moore, who injured an ankle and will be replaced by Romby Bryant. Defensive end Kashawn Fraser hurt a knee against the Riders and Jason Vega will take his spot. Saskatchewan is also dealing with injuries in its kicking unit. Punter Josh Bartel (hamstring) and long-snapper Levi Steinhauer (shoulder) will miss Sundays game after injuries in last weekends match. Placekicker Chris Milo will do the field-goal kicking and punting and linebacker Brian Peters is expected to be the long-snapper. Former Bombers placekicker Justin Palardy may come off the practice roster to do kickoffs. Saskatchewan slotback Chris Getzlaf didnt practise Friday because of an undisclosed injury and head coach Corey Chamblin told reporters afterward that he may not suit up, but should be good in the next week or so. "He didnt go today and he was very limited yesterday so theres a good chance he may not play and we have to be prepared for that." Rookie receiver Alex Pierzchalski will fill in and "he has to step up" with his opportunity, Chamblin said. Although the Riders were victorious in their first two games against their arch-rivals, Chamblin said making it three straight isnt easy. "Its always tough. Its tough to beat em one," he said. "But to beat em three, youve just got to know that youre not doing it all at one time, but its one game at a time." Bryant is looking to make good on his next opportunity with the Bombers. Hes played five games this season and has 11 catches for 94 yards and no touchdowns. Bryant watched the game on TV last week and thinks he and his teammates can pick up some tips on how to handle Saskatchewans "solid" defence. "Playing them back-to-back, they probably dont have much time to change stuff up," Bryant said. "You can see tips. It gives everybody tips, even the people that did play last week. Its giving them tips on how they play us and what coverages they do and certain schemes that they got going." Hajrullahu is just hoping the re-jigged kicking unit wont miss a beat. "Every point is going to count," Hajrullahu said. "Theyve beaten us twice and this team really hates losing and we hope to come out on top on Sunday and weve been preparing like we will."

"I was looking not to strike out," he said. After fouling off some tough two-strike pitches, Molina hit a ground-ball single up the middle to drive in two runs and the St. Louis Cardinals snapped out of an offensive funk with a 5-4 victory over the Chicago Cubs. "I got a little lucky that they were playing me to pull," Molina said. "It was a good at-bat. I was able to put the ball in play and good things happened." The defending National League champions had lost four of five to fall a game below .500. The Cardinals scored all their runs with two outs. Molina, moved into the No. 2 spot to jump start the lineup, was 0 for 4 before coming through in the ninth. But it was a wild pitch in the seventh inning that allowed the Cubs to tie the score at 3 that had Molina more frustrated. The pitch from reliever Carlos Martinez was in the dirt and trickled through Molinas legs, allowing Luis Valbuena to score. "I was there," Molina said. "I dont know. Its one of those things. I was ready for it and the ball still goes through my legs." Kevin Siegrist (1-1) got the win in relief, while Trevor Rosenthal picked up his eighth save in as many opportunities despite a scare in the ninth inning. Hector Randon (0-1) took the loss for the Cubs, who were attempting to win four straight games for the first time since July. While Cardinals manager Mike Matheny had looked for Molina, one of his hottest hitters, to get the offence going, it was a couple of struggling batters at the bottom of the lineup that got things started early. With two outs in the second inning and Jhonny Peralta on first base, Randal Grichuk drilled a triple into the right-centre field gap for a 1-0 lead. Mark Ellis, who went 3 for 4, followed with a double to left-centre to make it 2-0. Both Grichuk (.167) and Ellis (.143) entered hittingg well below .dddddddddddd200. St. Louis stretched the lead to 3-0 in the third as Matt Adams doubled home Matt Holiday. The Cubs pulled within 3-2 in the fourth with some clutch two-out hitting. With one out, Ryan Kalish singled and John Baker walked. After a groundout moved the runners to second and third, Cubs starter Jason Hammel singled to right to drive in both. Molinas go-ahead single to centre came on the sixth pitch of the at-bat from Randon. "I thought I made a good pitch today, but something happened," Randon said. Molina seemed more relieved that the wild pitch wasnt a factor than he drove in the game-deciding runs. "(Molina) does a good job of not wearing his emotions and how frustrating that is for him," Matheny said. "Its hard to count the number of balls he keeps in front of him, the number of runs he saves. Its something we dont take for granted." Valbuena doubled in a run with two outs in the ninth to make it 5-4, but Rosenthal got Anthony Rizzo to ground out to end the game. "Guys kept grinding it out," Cubs manager Rick Renteria said. "We just fell a little short." NOTES: The ESPN broadcast team of Dan Shulman and John Kruk worked from the bleachers. ...
