CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- Logan Thomas threw for two touchdowns and ran for one and David Wilson scored on two long runs in the second half as No. 6 Virginia Tech shut out No. 24 Virginia 38-0 on Saturday. The Hokies (11-1, 7-1 Atlantic Coast Conference) earned the leagues Coastal Division title and a rematch with No. 18 Clemson in next weekends ACC championship game in Charlotte. It was Virginia Techs eighth consecutive victory in the series, and 12th in 13 games. They will be playing for the ACC title for the fifth time and seeking their fourth title in five years. The Cavaliers (8-4, 5-3) had won four straight and seemed ready to finally challenge their state rival, but quarterback Michael Rocco threw two interceptions and fumbled it away once. The Hokies, who lost 23-3 to Clemson early in the season, will be playing their third title game rematch in the ACC, and are 2-0 in the first two, having beaten Boston College both times. They got to this title game by shutting down Virginias running game, which came in averaging better than 177 yards, and that enabled the Hokies to get plenty of pressure on Rocco when he had to throw. He had been sacked just 11 times coming into the game, but was thrown for a loss four times. The Cavaliers finished with just 30 rushing yards on 26 attempts and gained 241 yards. Virginia also had no answer for Thomas early or Wilson late, and when the Hokies drove 79 yards for a touchdown to open the third quarter, extending their lead to 21-0, the largest crowd of the season at Scott Stadium (61,124) grew quiet -- except for the Hokies fans. Wilson capped the drive with a 27-yard burst off the left side. He added a 38-yard run up the middle for another touchdown early in the fourth quarter and fans headed for the exits. Wilson finished with 153 yards on 24 carries and tied the ACC record with his 10th 100-yard game of the season. Thomas was 13 for 21 for 187 yards and ran for 27 yards on seven tries. The 6-foot-6, 254-pounder got started right away, too. He hit Marcus Davis for 36 yards on the Hokies first play from scrimmage, and Wilson broke off a 17-yard run on the next play. A 5-yard run by Wilson and 15-yard facemasking penalty on Chase Minnifield moved the Hokies to Virginias 14, and Thomas ran it in from there. It was his 10th rushing touchdown, a record for a quarterback under coach Frank Beamer, who once had Michael Vick as his QB. Virginia tried to answer, driving to the Hokies 6, but on fourth-and-2, the Cavaliers elected to go for it, and Kevin Parks was tripped up by Jack Tyler after gaining only a yard. Tyler later also recovered a fumble by Rocco that was forced by Kyle Fuller on a sack. Following an exchange of punts, which found the Hokies starting at their own 4, Thomas twice converted third down plays with first-down runs, then hit Davis again, this time for 52 yards. On third-and-8 from the Virginia 16, he hit Jarrett Boykin over the middle for the TD. Minnifield, one of 31 fourth- or fifth-year players honoured by Virginia before the game, had three 15-yard penalties in the first half, but one was waved off because Davis beat him for the 36-yard catch, and another on a deep ball was negated by a holding call against the Hokies. J.R. Collins interception of Rocco and return to the Cavaliers 6 set up the last touchdown, Thomas 7-yard pass to Davis. He finished with five catches for 119 yards. cheap nba jerseys free shipping .

Worried that his players might switch into panic mode, manager Manny Acta called a team meeting to remind them that things can change in a hurry. His words rang true. Cleveland won three of four from the Orioles, including a 6-2 victory Sunday that provided an uplifting finish to a 4-6 road trip. Justin Masterson pitched seven innings of five-hit ball, Shelley Duncan homered and hit two doubles, and Aaron Cunningham contributed a solo shot. Cleveland totalled 55 hits in the four games, including eight for extra bases in the finale. "A nice bounce back to finish a road trip that started in such an ugly way," Acta said. The Indians lost two of three in Houston and were swept in three games by the Yankees before bullying the skidding Orioles. "Being able to finish by winning three of four boosts the boys as we head back home, finally," Masterson said. Masterson (5-7) retired the first 12 batters he faced and earned his first road win in four tries since May 3. The right-hander gave up two runs, one earned,, struck out seven and walked none. "Masterson was dominant the majority of the game," Acta said. "He was in command all day. He was able to throw that four-seam by guys whenever he wanted to at 95 or 96. Never a doubt." Jim Thome went 0 for 4 in his Baltimore debut. Acquired Saturday in a trade with Philadelphia, the 41-year-old slugger struck out twice and grounded out twice against the team with which he broke into the majors in 1991. All-Star selection Adam Jones drove in a run and scored one for the Orioles, who have lost five of six and nine of 12. Baltimore starter Brian Matusz (5-10) didnt make it out of the fifth inning and lost his fifth straight start. After the game, the left-hander was optioned to Triple-A Norfolk, where the Orioles hope he can regain his form. "I think theres a couple adjustments he can make that will help him," said Dan Duquette, the teams executive vice-president of baseball operations. "Hes not too far away from being a winning major league pitcher. With a couple adjustments and some consistencies that will help him command his fastball better, that will give him a much better chance." Matusz allowed five runs, four earned, seven hits and three walks in four-plus innings.ddddddddddddIn his two previous career starts against Cleveland, he was 1-0 with an 0.64 ERA. But in his last five games overall, Matusz allowed 20 earned runs and 40 hits over 21 1-3 innings. Thats why the demotion came as no surprise. "No, not at all. In my last five, six outings just havent been getting the job done," Matusz said. "Today was just really inconsistent, I had some signs of good pitches, just havent been putting it together. Its killing the bullpen. Its making it tough, so moves have to be made. I have to go down and get better." Cleveland, which came into the series 5-16 against left-handed starters, beat lefties Wei-Yin Chen, Dana Eveland and Matusz. "Up to now, only (Asdrubal) Cabrera and (Michael) Brantley have been able to hit left-handers," Acta said. "But we have guys here that have done it in the past. That was the case today." Cunningham, who homered off Matusz, said, "Our guys can hit lefties. Im sure throughout the season well get better with it." After Matusz left, Miguel Gonzalez struck out five and gave up one run in 4 1-3 innings. The rookie was recalled earlier in the day to fortify an overworked bullpen. Duncan put the Indians up 1-0 in the second with his sixth home run, and Cunningham added a solo shot in the third. Doubles by Jose Lopez, Duncan and Casey Kotchman, along with a sacrifice fly by Lou Marson, made it 5-0 in the fourth. Baltimore got an unearned run in the fifth. After Jones reached on a bad-hop grounder to Cabrera at shortstop that was ruled an error, Ryan Flaherty lined a two-out RBI single to left. The Orioles closed to 5-2 in the sixth when J.J. Hardy singled and scored on a double by Jones. But Baltimore got only two hits the rest of the way. Cleveland added a run in the ninth on a double by Cabrera and an RBI single by Jason Kipnis.
