PITTSBURGH -- Billy Hamilton remains perfect on the basepaths. The Cincinnati Reds remain perfect with their speedy rookie outfielder in the starting lineup. The combination could prove potent during the final week of the regular season, and maybe beyond. Hamilton got three hits and stole two more bases and the Reds routed Pittsburgh 11-3 Sunday to tie the Pirates for the NL wild-card lead. Batting right behind Hamilton, Chris Heisey had three hits and two RBIs as the Reds won two of three to pull even with the scuffling Pirates. "Those guys set up some big innings," Cincinnati manager Dusty Baker said. "You need guys in your lineup to drive in runs but its just as important to have guys to get on base so they can be driven in." The Reds and Pirates each have magic numbers of two to close out Washington and clinch a playoff spot. Cincinnati and Pittsburgh trail NL Central leader St. Louis by 2 1-2 games, pending the Cardinals night game at Milwaukee. Jay Bruce hit a three-run double and Todd Frazier followed with a homer that capped a five-run burst in the first inning. Bronson Arroyo (14-11) made it stand up, lasting five innings to win for the first time in nearly a month. The Reds won for the fifth time in six games to head home for a season-ending six-game homestand with some serious momentum. "We knew it was an important series, they knew it was an important and our guys responded and jumped them early in this one," Baker said. "It was a good win for us, an important win." Neil Walker hit his 13th homer of the season, but Pittsburgh stumbled in its home finale. The Pirates have lost five of seven and will have to clinch its first post-season berth in 21 years on the road. Pittsburgh begins a six-game road trip on Monday in Chicago against the Cubs. "Today we dug ourselves a little bit of a hole early and they never let up, kept their foot on the gas pedal," Walker said. "We have to continue to play good baseball and things will go our way." Theyre certainly going Hamiltons way at the moment. His presence has given the Reds a needed late-season jolt. He was at it again on Sunday, easily taking second base in the second inning and doing it again in the sixth. Hamilton is 12 for 12 on swipe tries since his late-season promotion from Triple-A and is 6 for 14 and has scored nine times as a major leaguer. Bruce had four RBIs and Chris Heisey added three hits while driving in two runs. Jeff Locke (10-7) was tagged in the first inning and didnt come out for the second. After morphing from fifth starter to improbable All-Star, Locke fell to 2-5 with a 6.12 ERA in the second half of the season. Lockes next turn in the rotation is scheduled for Saturday in Cincinnati, but an off-day on Thursday gives the Pirates some flexibility with their rotation for a series that could have serious playoff implications. After Bruce doubled to the gap in left-centre field, Frazier followed with his 18th homer, a two-run shot to the deepest part of PNC Park. "Everything happened pretty fast," Locke said. "A hit a few walks, a big hit by Bruce, and the homer by Frazier and before you know it Arroyo was my last hitter. I think you try to avoid the big inning and unfortunately the big inning was the first inning." Cincinnati pushed its advantage to 7-0 in the second on an RBI double by Heisey and a sacrifice fly from Brandon Phillips off reliever Jeanmar Gomez. Staked to such a huge cushion, Arroyo worked quickly if not exactly effectively. Walker hit his third homer in four games leading off the third and pinch-hitter Travis Snider did the same in the fifth. Pittsburghs best chance to make it close came later in that inning when Walkers double put runners in scoring position with no outs. Arroyo surrendered only a sacrifice fly by Justin Morneau that made it 7-3. The veteran right-hander gave up three runs on five hits in five innings, walking two and striking out three.

Trailing by a goal after 20 minutes of play, Joe Pavelski responded with three goals and an assist as the Sharks snapped a two-game losing skid with a 5-2 victory over the struggling Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday.Davidson, NC (SportsNetwork.com) - With an eight-game win streak in tow, the 22nd-ranked Dayton Flyers head out on the road on Tuesday for an Atlantic 10 Conference showdown with the Davidson Wildcats at Belk Arena. Archie Millers Flyers are an impressive 15-2 on the season and have actually won 13 of their last 14 games with the lone loss during that span, a 69-55 setback at Arkansas on Dec. 13. The team has started league play out at 5-0 after Saturdays 61-45 rout of Saint Louis. Dayton is seeking its first 6-0 start to league play since the 2003-04 campaign. Bob McKillops Wildcats are one of the more dangerous teams in the A-10. Davidson is 12-4 overall and 3-2 in league play after Saturdays disappointing 89-63 blasting at the hands of Richmond on the road. The Wildcats, who opened the season with nine wins in their first 10 games, have now split their last six outings. Davidson comes in with a stellar 8-1 record at home this season. Davidson has won all three previous meetings with Dayton. However, this series has been idle since 1973. The Flyers are a defensive-minded squad that likes to enforce their will at that end of the floor first. The team has done well in that regard, holding opponents to just 58.1 ppg and a mere .387 shooting from the floor. The tight defense extends beyond the arc, where foes are connecting on a meager .296 from long range. The team boasts of a trio of double-digit scoring averages, with senior guard Jordan Siberts 15.7 ppg representing the best of the bunch. Junior forward Dyshawn Pierre (12.6 ppg, 7.dddddddddddd2 rpg) and sophomore forward Kendall Pollard (10.5 ppg) provide depth. Dayton held Saint Louis to an ugly 37-percent shooting performance and outscored the Billikens 21-5 at the free-throw line to keep the win streak going. Pollard led the way, converting 8-of-10 shots from the floor and pacing all scorers with 20 points. Sibert wasnt far behind with 18 points, while Pierre recorded a double-double with 10 points and 12 rebounds. Unlike the Flyers, the Wildcats are more of an offensive juggernaut. Davidson leads the A-10 and ranks seventh nationally in scoring at 82.4 ppg. The team is shooting an efficient .474 from the floor overall, and utilizes the 3- pointers as much as any team in the nation, averaging 10.6 made 3-pointers per game. Scoring depth isnt a problem, as five Wildcats are currently averaging double figures, led by Tyler Kalinoski (16.4 ppg) and Jack Gibbs (15.8 ppg), who rank seventh and ninth in the conference in scoring, respectively. Jordan Barham (10.7 ppg), Brian Sullivan (10.6 ppg) and Peyton Aldridge (10.1 ppg) provide more than enough options at the offensive end. The offensive performance that Davidson displayed against Richmond was certainly an anomaly. The Wildcats shot just 40 percent from the floor overall, a number skewed by an ugly 6-of-22 effort from 3-point range. Kalinoski had a strong outing, finishing with 20 points, on 6-of-12 shooting, with four 3-pointers. However, only Sullivan joined Kalinoski in double digits, chipping in with 10 points in the lopsided loss.
