OBERHOF, Germany - Tomasz Sikora shot flawlessly amid heavy gusts of wind and snow flurries to win a biathlon World Cup race Saturday. Tamba Hali Jersey . Sikora was the only man among the top eight finishers without a miss as he finished the 10-kilometre sprint in 28 minutes 13.3 seconds to pick up his third career World Cup win. World Cup leader Ole Einar Bjorndalen of Norway missed three targets as he finished second, 16.2 seconds back. Teammate Emil Hegle Svendsen was off-target twice to place third, 16.7 behind. Robin Clegg of Ottawa was 40th. Bjorndalen extended his lead in the overall standings to 301 points. Dmytri Yarochenko of Russia was second with 271 and Vincent Defrasne of France third with 184. In the womens 7.5-kilometre sprint, Tora Berger of Norway also shot perfectly to win in 23:58.2, while Svetlana Slepzova of Russia missed twice to finish 5.5 seconds back in second place. Sandra Keith of Calgary was 44th. Magdalena Neuner, the 10-kilometre pursuit world champion, missed four times to finish third, 10.7 behind. One more shot on target would have given the 20-year-old German the win. What could have happened, I never think like that, Neuner said. The shooting is simply part of biathlon. Martina Glagow of Germany had the overall lead with 281 points, eight ahead of Frances Sandrine Bailly. Matt Cassel Jersey . Despatie, of Laval, Que,. played it safe with his dive list, posting an average degree of difficulty of just 3.2 throughout his six dives. He placed ninth with a total score of 458.55 for his efforts and easily progressed in the top-18. Eric Berry Jersey . There wasnt much for them to cheer about in the end. Jrue Holiday scored 26 points, Lou Williams added 20 and the Philadelphia 76ers beat Chicago 109-92 on Tuesday night to even their first-round series in the Bulls first game since Roses season-ending knee injury. http://www.chiefsprostore.com/peyton-hillis-jerseys . The Blue Jays, at 51-51 and contending for the AL wild-card spot, pulled outfielder Travis Snider in the sixth inning of a 4-1 loss at Seattle. Soon thereafter, Toronto announced he was going to the contending Pirates. Dexter McCluster Jersey . The 37-year-old Hernandez was 1-1 with a 4.94 ERA and one save -- the first of his 17-year career -- with the Braves. He gave up seven hits and five runs in 1 2-3 innings against Toronto in his last appearance Sunday. Derrick Johnson Jersey . The person told The Associated Press about the trade on condition of anonymity Wednesday because it has not been announced pending the completion of some routine logistical matters. The deal also sends guard Jerome Dyson and retiring centre Brad Millers $5.1 million contract from New Orleans to Minnesota, allowing the Timberwolves to clear space under the NBAs salary cap as they pursue free agents. ATLANTA -- The Phillies have started to win again, but Cole Hamels cautions this still isnt the kind of team that can "steamroll" opponents the way they have in recent seasons. Hamels predicts more close games ahead for Philadelphia, just like Tuesday night when John Mayberry Jr. doubled and scored the go-ahead run in the eighth inning and the Phillies beat the Atlanta Braves 4-2. The Phillies (12-12), the five-time defending NL East champions, have won five of seven to return to .500 after finishing April at 11-12 for their first losing record in a full month since going 11-15 in June 2009. "I still think we have a lot of work to do," said Hamels, who gave up two runs in six innings, leaving with the game tied 2-2. "We just have to keep battling. Things arent going to come easy. Sometimes we have months in the past where things just seemed like they were easy because it seemed like we could just steamroll through a team. Its not going to be that case anymore." Hamels said other teams in the NL East "are just too good" and the Phillies are missing injured stars Ryan Howard and Chase Utley. "Weve got injuries and weve got to battle through and just kind of play harder than weve been accustomed to," Hamels said. "Hopefully the easy wins will come, but I dont think there will be that many in store." The Phillies are starting a stretch of nine straight games against NL East rivals. "This is where we can make up our ground," Hamels said. "Hopefully this can kind of spark us into being the team that we know were capable of being and what everybody obviously expects us to be. Were playing against better teams and teams that have better records than us and we have to change that and start getting momentum back on our side and things will flow a lot easier." After Brandon Beachy gave up only two runs in seven innings to outlast Hamels, the Phillies broke a 2-2 tie with two runs against left-hander Jonny Venters (2-1). Mayberry, in the game as a pinch-hitter, doubled to right with one out, moved to third on Jimmy Rollins single and scored on Venters wild pitch to Placido Polanco. Shane Victorino added an infield hit and Pence singled to right, driving in Rollins for a 4-2 lead. Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said the bloop double could be a spaark for Mayberry, who was hitting only . Dwayne Bowe Jersey. 204. "Thats getting the job done, thats a big hit, an important hit," Manuel said. "A blooper can definitely get you going. Sometimes thats one of the best feelings in baseball, I think." Antonio Bastardo (1-1) pitched a perfect seventh. Jonathan Papelbon earned his ninth save by retiring the Braves in order in the ninth. Venters gave up four hits and two runs, the first he has allowed in 10 games, while recording two outs. "Brandon pitched his butt off," Venters said. "For me to give it away like that is unacceptable. "I left some sinkers up in the zone and they dont miss those pitches." Rollins and Pence each had two hits. "Theyre missing a couple big pieces but thats still a formidable lineup theyre throwing out there every day," Beachy said. The Phillies took a 2-0 lead in the fourth. Polanco singled and moved to third on a double by Pence with two outs. Ty Wigginton followed with a single which skipped past left fielder Martin Prado. Pence ran past third base before Prados error, so Wigginton, who advanced to third, was credited with two RBIs. After Brian McCanns homer in the fourth, the Braves pulled even with one run off Hamels in the sixth. Singles by Freddie Freeman and Matt Diaz and a walk to McCann loaded the bases. Freeman scored from third on Juan Franciscos flyball to left field. Beachy gave up five hits and two runs in seven innings. The Braves helped Beachy with two strong defensive plays in the seventh. Tyler Pastornicky made a diving grab of Pences line drive to open the inning. Matt Diaz, running at full speed, then caught Wiggintons liner at the right-field wall. NOTES: The Phillies placed RHP David Herndon on the 15-day disabled list with right elbow inflammation and called up RHP Brian Sanches from Triple A Lehigh Valley. Herndon was having tests on the elbow in Philadelphia. ... Braves RF Jason Heyward was held out for the second straight day with soreness around his right oblique muscle, and he said he may not play on Wednesday. 3B Chipper Jones, also held out, has started only 12 of 24 games. ... Phillies RHP Roy Halladay, who is 4-1 in his career against Atlanta, will start in Wednesday nights game against Braves RHP Tommy Hanson. ' ' '
