Washington, DC (Sports Network) - Josh Willinghams solo home run in the 10th inning gave the Washington Nationals a 4-3 win over the Baltimore Orioles in the finale of a three-game interleague set. Patrick Chung Jersey. With Cla Meredith (0-2) on the mound, Willingham drilled a 2-1 pitch just over the wall in left-center for the win. Thats what you dream about when youre a kid. When youre up at the plate, you cant really be trying to do that or it usually doesnt happen, Willingham said of his game-winning at-bat. I was just trying to get a good pitch to hit and hit it hard. Roger Bernadina hit a three-run triple while Nyjer Morgan added two hits and a run scored for the Nationals, who took the last two games of the set after dropping the opener on Friday. John Lannan went 5 1/3 innings and scattered one run on two hits with three walks and two strikeouts. Doug Slaten (2-0) got the win for throwing a perfect top of the 10th. Matt Wieters and Julio Lugo each drove in a run for the Orioles, who have dropped seven of nine. Kevin Millwood gave up three runs on eight hits with a walk and eight strikeouts over his 6 1/3-inning start. You can handle losses when you just get beat, but games like this, I feel like we beat ourselves and that makes it tough, Millwood said. With Washington holding a two-run lead in the ninth, Matt Capps came out to close the game, but he was unable to. After getting Ty Wigginton to strike out, Luke Scott singled and Adam Jones doubled. Wieters then grounded out to score Scott for a one-run game, and Lugo blooped a single into right to tie the contest. It was Capps first blown save in 17 chances this season. Baltimore got on the board in the first as back-to-back singles from Corey Patterson and Nick Markakis to start the inning was followed by a double play groundout from Miguel Tejada that scored Patterson. Washington answered in the bottom of the frame. Morgan led off with a single and Cristian Guzman reached base on a bunt. After the next two batters recorded outs, Willingham was hit by a pitch to load the bases, and Bernadina followed with a triple to center that went off Jones glove for a 3-1 lead. The Nationals threatened in the fourth as they put two men on base with one out, but Guzman flied out and Ryan Zimmerman looked at strike three to end the frame. The Orioles, meanwhile, didnt get another runner to second base until the sixth. Patterson led off with a walk and then stole second. After Markakis flied out, Drew Storen took the mound and got Tejada to fly out, but Wigginton walked. Storen, though, struck out Scott to end the threat. Storen stayed on for the seventh and set Baltimore down in order while Sean Burnett and Tyler Clippard worked the eighth inning. GAME NOTES:Washington hits the road for its next 10 games and starts a three-game set in San Francisco on Tuesday...Baltimore hosts Oakland for a three-game series starting on Tuesday...The Nationals improved to 114-118 in interleague play while the Orioles fell to 102-130 in interleague play.

Arian Foster Jersey. - Zack MacQueen scored the only goal in a shootout and the Sarnia Sting beat the Plymouth Whalers 3-2 in Ontario Hockey League action Thursday. With a new routine played out to the sound of With the Riding on the Wings of Songs, Chinas star figure skating pair Zhang Dan and Zhang Hao led the pairs event at the Cup of China in Beijing on Thursday. Costly mistakes put veteran teammates Pang Qing and Tong Jian third at the event, the third stop on this seasons ISU Grand Prix series, held at Capital Indoor Gymnasium. The two Zhangs rounded off a smooth short program with a score of 67.12 to lead the seven pairs. We just did our normal performance and we are satisfied with the result, said Zhang Dan. But I wasnt very relaxed since it was the first competition and our performance was not perfect. We will try to do better in the free staking tomorrow. Tatiana Volosozhar and Stanislav Morozov of Ukraine trailed the reigning world silver medalists with 60.34 points and the injury-riddled Pang and Tong came third with 59.36.

Yang Shizhong Pang and Tong never looked likely to defend their Cup of China title despite throwing out a new routine to surprise fans. Pang stumbled while landing a triple throw and the 2006 world champions dropped points by finishing just out of synch with the music. We didnt do well in several technical elements today, said Tong. Pang sprained hher ankle during a training session before the start of the season and the injuries reduced our confidence on the ice. Bobby Doerr Jersey Days earlier Tongs injured tendon flared up but the pair decided to compete at the season opener rather than disappoint a boisterous home crowd and surrender crucial points. We did not want to withdraw, otherwise we would not be able to accumulate enough points for the GP finals, said Tong. We will battle on and hope to rediscover our form soon. The free skating will be a physical challenge but we think we can do better than today. Both leading Chinese pairs have adopted new routines for this season with which they hope to dazzle judges and add to Chinas success at the sport. But our biggest priority ahead of that is getting over these injuries and regaining our confidence, said Tong, who skated to Gary Moores Blues in the short program. In other events, Russias Oksana Domnina and Maxim Shabali placed first in the ice dancing and Kim Yu-na of South Korea led the pack in the womens singles after the short program yesterday. The ice dancing competition started yesterday with the compulsory Viennese waltz.
