BOSTON (AP) — Brent Seabrook's goal 9:51 into overtime lifted the Chicago Blackhawks to a wild 6-5 victory over the Boston Bruins on Wednesday night and tied the Stanley Cup finals through four games. Seabrook fired a 45foot shot past Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask to end Game 4 and send the series back to Chicago tied 2-2. Seabrook also scored the overtime goal in Game 7 of the Western Conference semifinals to eliminate the Detroit Red Wings. Only 12 total goals were scored in the first three games before the teams combined for 11 on Wednesday night. Game 5 of the best-ofseven series is Saturday night. It was the third overtime game of the series. The Blackhawks won the opener 4-3 in three overtimes, and the Bruins won 2-1 in the first overtime period in Game 2. Boston grabbed the series lead Monday night 2-0 behind Rask's third shutout of the postseason. Seabrook's shot from the right went to the far side of Rask, who appeared to be screened. Trailing 4-3 after the second period, the Bruins tied it on Patrice Bergeron's second goal of the game at 2:05 of the third period.

All five Bruins goals were to the glove side of goalie Corey Crawford. Jonathan Toews broke his scoring slump in Chicago's three-goal onslaught in the second period against Rask. In an unusually wideopen game, the teams combined for five goals in the second period after the first ended in a 1-1 tie on goals by Chicago's Michal Handzus and Boston's Rich Peverley. Patrick Kane and Marcus Kruger also scored for Chicago in the second. Milan Lucic and Bergeron countered for Boston. Rask posted his third shutout of the postseason Giants 4, Padres 2 is a tremendous defender. He's just getting better and better.'' Will Venable and Jesus Guzman each hit home runs for the Padres, who have lost two straight after a seven-game winning streak. ''Guzzie is a guy who is seeing the ball well and he's got the strength to hit it out of the park,'' Padres manager Bud Black said. Madison Bumgarner (7-4) won his third straight start after allowing two runs and three hits over seven innings. He walked four and struck out eight. Padres starter Eric Stults gave up two runs and seven hits over 6 1-3 innings. He walked two and struck out three. ''Stults pitched great,'' Black said. ''It was a well-pitched game by both guys. They have a good pitching staff and we feel ours is rounding into form.'' Luke Gregerson (4-3) did not retire a batter, giving up two runs and four hits. He took over for Stults after Tony Abreu singled with one out in the seventh. Pinch-hitter Hector Sanchez also singled ahead of Blanco's triple, which one-hopped the fence in right-center field. ''I wanted to be aggressive,'' Blanco said. ''I was looking for location and wanted to MIAMI (AP) — Game 7s do more than settle championships. They define legacies. No matter what happens Thursday night, LeBron James and the Miami Heat, and Tim Duncan's San Antonio Spurs have already won NBA titles and secured a place in history. Now is their opportunity to elevate it. The truly memorable teams won the hard way, and that will be the case for the one celebrating at center court this time. It's either a Heat repeat, possible only after James led them back from what seemed certain elimination in the closing seconds of Game 6, or the Spurs shaking off as gutwrenching a loss as a team can have to become just the fourth club to win a Game 7 of the NBA Finals on the road. ''As a competitor you love it, because you know you have an opportunity and it's up to you,'' Heat guard Ray Allen said. ''We have a chance in our building to make something great. All of our legacies are tied to this moment, this game. It's something our kids will be able to talk about that they were a part of. Forever will remember these moments, so we want to not live and have any regrets.'' Allen played in the game the last time the NBA's season went down to the very last day, the Boston Celtics fading at the finish and falling 83-79 to the Los Angeles Lakers in 2010. That made home teams 14-3 in finals Game 7s, with no road team winning since Washington beat Seattle in 1978. Overcoming those odds, not to mention the NBA's winningest team, would make this more memorable than the Spurs' previous four titles, though this is a franchise that never dwells too much on the past or looks too far into the future. All that matters is now. ''You know what, it's all about just winning the title. It's not about situation or what has led up to it,'' Duncan said. ''It's a great story for everybody else, but we're here for one reason, one reason only: It's to try to win this game (today). We have had a very good season thus far, and I think we just want to get to the game more than anything. We just want to see what happens and be able to leave everything out there.'' The teams trudged back to the arena Wednesday, some 12 hours after the Heat pulled out a 103-100 overtime victory in Game 6 to even the series. The Spurs, five points ahead with 28 seconds left in regulation, had to fight off fatigue and heartbreak, insisting neither would linger into today. By far the best game of this series, Game 6 immediately took its place among the best finishes in finals history, with everything from James' triple-double to Allen's tying 3- See GIANTS, page 2B See LEGACY, page 2B Around town @TehamaSports See FINALS, page 2B Title, legacies on the line for Heat, Spurs Attention all Little League All-Stars softball and baseball coaches: Please send All-Stars tournament results and game summaries to sports@redbluffdailynews.com.

Blanco lifts Giants to win SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Gregor Blanco has learned to think like a run producer. Normally a leadoff hitter, Blanco has been used in the middle of the order more often. When he comes up with runners on, he has the mindset to drive in runs rather than just trying to get on base. Blanco had a pinch hit, two-run triple in the seventh inning, leading the San Francisco Giants to a 4-2 victory over the San Diego Padres on Wednesday. ''When they want me batting sixth or seventh, it means they want me to drive in runs,'' Blanco said. ''So when I came up to hit I told myself I had better drive these people in.'' With a big part of its offense on the disabled list, the Giants have turned to players like Blanco, a career .383 hitter with runners in scoring position, to pick up the slack. ''We're getting good games from a lot of guys,'' Giants catcher Buster Posey said. Brandon Belt and Marco Scutaro also drove in runs as the Giants won their second straight following a three-game slide. Scutaro and Hunter Pence each had two hits. ''Gregor has played well all season,'' Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. ''He comes through in the clutch, has speed and
