Honolulu, HI (SportsNetwork. Red Sox Sam Travis Jersey .com) - The Wichita State Shockers seek to win an in-season tournament for the third straight season, as they clash with the Lions of Loyola Marymount in the annual Diamond Head Classic at the Stan Sheriff Center on Monday. The Shockers, who won the 2012 Cancun Challenge and the 2013 CBE Classic, have won all but one of their first nine games of the 2014-15 campaign, with that lone setback coming by a single point in overtime versus Utah earlier this month. Since the defeat, Wichita State has rattled off four straight victories, the most recent of which being a narrow 53-52 triumph over Alabama close to a week ago now. With the victory over the Crimson Tide, WSUs home winning streak was stretched to 23 in a row, the nations fifth-longest run entering this week. Meanwhile, the Lions are coming in flat as they deal with a four-game slide, the last three defeats all coming on the road. Last week, LMU followed up a disappointing 71-69 setback against Northern Arizona with a 67-58 defeat at the hands of Stanford. The Lions are now three games under .500, with one of their three victories coming against San Diego Christian. The Shockers won the only previous meeting between the programs by a score of 75-73 at home in 1983. Both teams will be back in action on Tuesday in the semifinals of the event, the winner taking on the survivor of the Nebraska/Hawaii contest and the losers competing against each other on the other side of the bracket. The Lions shot a solid 47.1 percent from the field against Stanford, including 6-of-14 behind the 3-point line, but at the same time the visitors turned the ball over 17 times and were outscored at the free-throw line by a 17-4 margin, en route to the nine-point loss. The only double-digit scorer for LMU was Evan Payne who delivered 14 points. Payne, a career 16.9 ppg scorer, leads the Lions this season with 21.7 ppg, the only player in double figures. The lack of a strong supporting cast in the scoring column may have something to do with the fact that the starting lineup has been juggled quite a bit in the early going. In fact, while Payne has started just five contests, the only player to appear in the starting lineup each time out is Ayodeji Egbeyemi who is shooting only 37.1 percent from the field as he generates 7.9 ppg for a team putting up 66.3 ppg, while allowing 69.8 ppg. Trailing by 11 points with just over six minutes left in regulation, the Shockers held Alabama without a field goal from that point on in order to capture the thrilling one-point win at home. Darius Carter led the way for Wichita State with 16 points, adding six rebounds, while Ron Baker tacked on 14 points as the team came out ahead despite shooting only 40.8 percent from the field, 27.8 percent beyond the arc, and a dismal 8-of-17 (.471) at the free-throw line. Baker is typically the go-to guy on offense for the Shockers, leading the team with his 18.0 ppg as he converts an impressive 46.6 percent beyond the arc. Carter is another solid source of offense with 12.7 ppg, hitting his field goal attempts (.565) at a higher rate than he does his free throws (.548). Fred VanVleet pitches in with 12.6 ppg, and although he is shooting only 39.6 percent from the field overall and 25.8 percent out on the perimeter, his presence on the floor is essential due to the fact that he has handed out 47 assists, more than twice what any of his teammates has issued.

All in a nights work for the slugger as the Jays won a sixth-straight game, 3-1 over the St. Louis Cardinals. “I think its got to be the most eventful game Ive ever had in my career,” said Bautista. “Id like to see if anybody could find somebody else to have a game with that combination of plays. Thatd be pretty awesome.” Whats becoming clearer as the days go by is that this is a good Blue Jays team. Mediocre or bad teams dont win nine in a row, drop a couple and then respond with another win streak thats now reached six. Torontos been victorious in 20 of its last 24 games, is at or near the top of the sports key offensive statistical categories and continues to get solid starting pitching and defence. “Were playing great baseball and were enjoying a great couple of months and we need to keep doing that so we can get to the playoffs,” said Bautista. “We just need to stay with the consistency. Same approach, same effort that were putting forward every single night and its a lot of fun when youre winning. Its the first time Ive ever experienced anything like this at this level so Im enjoying it a lot as well.” Marcus Stroman won his second-straight start and improved his big league record to 3-0, hurling six-plus innings of one-run ball. After a shaky start - he allowed the run in the first, and backed by strong defensive plays by Bautista and Brett Lawrie - Stroman settled in and ended up striking out seven Cardinals. His curveball, which confounded the Royals last Saturday, made for more misery for another Missouri-based team. “Its been huge just because I dont feel like I necessarily have to throw a fastball in a fastball count,” said Stroman. “Just being able to mix it up and keep guys off balance has been pretty good this year.” When Stroman was lifted by manager John Gibbons in the seventh, the fans gave him a standing ovation. “Yeah, its pretty special,” said Stroman. “I tried to do my best tough guy impersonation and tried not to smile but it was definitely pretty special walking off. Just to go out there and put my team in a position to win was awesome.” 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF ROGERS CENTRE Jimmy Key threw out the ceremonial first pitch to Ernie Whitt on Friday night. The two formed the battery for the first ever pitch thrown at SkyDome, a strike to Milwaukees Paul Molitor on June 5, 1989. It was a trip down memory lane in a stadium that so often is unfairly maligned. A technological wonder when it was built, some still see it that way. “Itss a nice piece of architecture,” said Jose Bautista. Red Sox Christian Vazquez Jersey. “You come in here and you expect it to be kind of old and beat down and look out of place because its so old but it actually looks pretty modern from the outside looking in. I was surprised the first time I saw it. I was expecting something different. I was pleasantly surprised.” Fans old enough to remember that June night in 1989 and the four Blue Jays playoff appearances in the SkyDomes first five years may have a different opinion of the facility than the younger crowd thats yet to experience a winner. Still, fond memories abound, even those of the more recent variety. “Itd have to be probably the day that I hit the 50th home run,” said Bautista of September 24, 2010. “It was a pretty nice crowd in a day game and one of the unique features of the stadium was highlighted that day, you know, open roof on a beautiful day.” Only Cito Gaston has managed more games in Rogers Centre/SkyDome than John Gibbons. “Its an entertaining place,” said Gibbons. “Exciting, fans come here because some crazy things can happen. The ball flies. Youve got some bouncy turf. I really enjoy this place. One thing youre guaranteed, youre always going to have a game because they can close that roof.” NO QUIT When a team has won six in a row, 15 of 17 and 20 of 24 like the Blue Jays have after Fridays action, chances are resiliency is one of its characteristics. The clubs star player sees it. “Its something that I always thought, even from last year, that we never give up,” said Bautista. “We had a lot of tough games last year. We lost a lot of close games and we battled back from some blowouts and came close, not quite enough to come out with a win. I always noted that about this team where we never give up and we always fight.” Amid the wreckage of last years lost season, 32 of Torontos 74 victories were comeback wins. So far this season, the Blue Jays have 13 come-from-behind victories. RASMUS AND SANTOS UPDATES Centrefielder Colby Rasmus is nearing a return to game action as he recovers from a right hamstring injury. “Colbys doing baseball activities down (in Florida),” said Gibbons. “We figure at the beginning of the week hell probably get into a game.” Rasmus has been on the disabled list since May 13. What he originally believed wouldnt require a DL stint has turned into a near-month absence, a reminder of how uncertain muscle injuries can be. Sergio Santos threw a bullpen session before Thursdays game in Detroit. Gibbons wasnt clear on the plan moving forward. Earlier in the week the plan was for Santos to throw sides on Thursday (he did) and on Sunday and if he passed both tests, hed leave for Buffalo and a rehab assignment perhaps as early as Monday.
