    New York Yankees teammates celebrate with New York Yankees Carlos Beltran, third from right, after he hit a ninthinning, walk-off, sacrifice fly allowing New York Yankees Brett Gardner to score in the Yankees 1-0 victory over the
    Houston Astros on Monday in New York

    Feldmans gem wasted as Yankees take 1-0 victory


    By HOWIE RUMBERG
    AP Baseball Writer

    NEW YORK If the


    New York Yankees have
    indeed lost CC Sabathia
    for the remainder of the
    season, they might have
    found a reluctant leader in
    Nathan Eovaldi.
    Eovaldi matched Scott
    Feldman with eight overpowering innings before
    Carlos Beltran had a gamewinning sacrifice fly in a
    wild ninth to lift New York
    over the Houston Astros
    1-0 Monday night.
    The 25-year-old righthander was pitching
    on the day the Yankees
    learned Sabathia, the 2007
    Cy Young Award winner,
    was put on the disabled list
    with right knee inflammation. New York had also just
    come off a deflating series
    in which they lost three of
    four to Cleveland.
    Of course its on my
    mind, CC going down,
    Eovaldi said. I know I
    needed to be able to step
    up tonight, help out the
    bullpen.
    With a devastating slider,
    new-found splitter and
    fastball that topped out at
    101 mph and reached 100
    in the eighth, Eovaldi gave
    up only four singles and
    walked three. He is 13-2

    Getting ready for a 5K or 10K


    race doesnt usually involve
    practicing survival skills
    unless the Zombie Fest 5K Fun
    Run is on the calendar.
    Scheduled for a 7 p.m. start
    Sept. 5 at MacLean Park in Lake
    Jackson, the fourth annual
    event will also feature a costume
    contest.
    Most of the races around the
    area are run in the early morning, except for a couple. One of
    them is the Zombie Fest.
    We are trying to make this
    one a bit more extra special,
    race director Leslie Bateman
    said. We are doing half of it on
    the trail itself, not the asphalt
    part at MacLean Park but there
    is a trail that runs parallel to it.

    AREAROUNDUP

    So they go off road a bit through


    trees, spiders and such.
    Runners are encouraged
    to dress up for the costume
    contest, which will take place
    after the race.
    People can register online
    a t w w w. s i g n m e u p . c o m /
    site/online-event-registration/108564/SMUCalendar. It
    will continue through Sept. 3.
    Entry is $25.
    On-site registration will start
    at 5 p.m. and finish at 6:30 p.m.
    the day of the race. Medals will
    be awarded to all participants
    and the first 100 who register
    will get a T-shirt.
    There will also be a Kids
    Shamble at 6:45 p.m.

    In her second season at the
    helm for the Columbia Lady
    Neck volleyball squad, Katy
    Wagner is trying to make a
    difference.
    So far, so good this season, as
    the Lady Necks are 10-5 early
    in the 2015 season.
    They are doing great, I didnt
    lose a lot so my new kids are
    starting to step up and mesh
    well with the others, Wagner
    said. My libero, Taylor Murphy,
    shes been doing a real good job
    and my middle blocker, Macie
    Grizzle, has also been doing a
    good job in the middle for us.

    OBrien names Hoyer as Texans starting QB


    By KRISTIE RIEKEN
    Associated Press

    HOUSTON Now that


    hes been named Houstons
    starting quarterback Brian
    Hoyer knows hell have
    to continue to perform to
    keep that job.
    Hoyer had been competing with Ryan Mallett for
    the job. Coach Bill OBrien
    announced the decision
    before practice on Monday.
    The whole competition
    pushed us to be better,
    Hoyer said. We competed
    very hard and I know that
    just because Im named the
    PATRIC SCHNEIDER/Associated Press starter today doesnt mean
    Brian Hoyer was named the starting quarterback for the Houston if we go out there and lose
    Texans by head coach Bill OBrien on Monday, edging out Ryan a bunch of games that Im
    going to still be the starter.
    Mallett for the job.

    You have to go out and


    earn it every day in this
    league.
    Hoyer started 13 games
    for the Cleveland Browns
    last season before signing
    with the Texans in the
    offseason.
    I thought that Brian
    showed me the most
    consistency, the most
    composure in certain situations, the experience in our
    system, all those different
    things that go into the fact
    that I think hes ready to be
    our starter, OBrien said.
    Some have questioned
    whether either of these
    quarterbacks are the longterm solution for this team.
    On Monday he addressed
    that question without

    being asked about it.


    We all need to give
    Brian Hoyer a chance,
    OBrien said. Hes got an
    opportunity here. Hes got
    an opportunity to go in
    there as a starter and make
    the most of his opportunity ... I believe in him. I
    believe in his ability to run
    our offense efficiently. I
    believe in his experience
    in our offense. I think hes
    shown in the past that he
    can be a successful starting
    quarterback.
    The 29-year-old Hoyer
    was 7-6 as a starter last
    season and finished with
    3,326 yards passing with
    12 touchdowns and 13
    interceptions.
    Being the new guy in

    this organization I want to


    go out there and earn the
    respect of my teammates
    and I think the only way
    you really do that is by
    winning football games,
    Hoyer said.
    Hoyer went undrafted
    out of Michigan State
    before signing as a free
    agent with the Patriots,
    where he worked as Tom
    Bradys backup until he was
    released in 2012. He was
    also released by the Steelers
    and the Cardinals before
    signing with the Browns.
    He started three games for
    Cleveland in 2013 before
    tearing his ACL.
