See TUBE, page 2B MCT photo The St. Louis Cardinals' Yadier Molina on second base after hitting a double in the second inning against the Milwaukee Brewers in Game 5 of the Nation- al League Championship Series at Busch Stadium in St. Louis Friday. ST. LOUIS (AP) — The bumbling Brewers made four errors that led to three unearned runs, and the St. Louis Cardi- nals survived a short start by Jaime Gar- cia to beat Milwaukee 7-1 Friday night and take a 3-2 lead in the NL champi- onship series. Yadier Molina and Matt Holliday had three hits each for St. Louis, which burst to a 3-0 lead in the second when Molina doubled in a run and third baseman Jerry Hairston Jr. allowed Garcia's grounder to go through his legs. Holliday capped the scoring with a two-run double in the eighth. Milwaukee's infield nearly had a cycle of errors, with second baseman Rickie Weeks and shortstop Yuniesky Betan- court also committing miscues along with reliever Marco Estrada. Weeks had committed the Brewers' only two errors in the first four games of the series. The Cardinals have won 14 straight games on getaway days, a run that began on Aug. 7 at Florida. The win gave play- ers another opportunity to chant ''Happy Flight! Happy Flight!'' St. Louis can wrap up the best-of- seven series and its 18th NL pennant on Sunday in Milwaukee. Edwin Jackson goes for the Cardinals against Shaun Marcum in a rematch of pitchers from Game 2, won by St. Louis 12-3 as neither starter received a decision. The NL winner hosts the World Series opener against Detroit or Texas on Wednesday. Milwaukee had not made more than three errors in a game during the regular season, but the Brewers' sloppiness reached a near-record level. Milwaukee was one shy of the LCS record for errors in a game, shared by the 1974 Los Ange- les Dodgers and 1976 New York Yan- kees, according to STATS LLC. Cardinals manager Tony La Russa had a quick hook once again. Garcia opened with four scoreless innings, then allow- ing three hits and a sacrifice in a span of four at-bats in the fifth, with Corey Hart See CARDS, page 2B 5:05 p.m. FOX Texas leads series 3-2 0 9 By RICH GREENE DN Sports Editor After a scoreless first half the Spartans found their mojo in the second half and cruised to a 3-1 win, Friday, over visiting Univer- sity Prep. "We did some mistakes in the beginning, but we covered them up with the second," Red Bluff senior captain Daniel Gonzalez said. The Spartans playmaker helped set the stage in the open- ing minutes of the second half. Jaime Cuevas played a perfect through ball to Gonzalez who dribbled to the Panthers goal and crossed it to an unmarked Connor Ross who tapped in the game opener in the 44th minute. About eight minutes later Uni- versity Prep responded with an equalizer, but the Spartans weren't finished scoring either. In the 67th minute Gonzalez won a corner kick. It would pay off as Jorge Gar- cia played a nice ball into the box and Gonzalez outleaped the Pan- thers' defense to head in what would prove to be the game win- ner. University Prep is one of the shorter teams in the Eastern Ath- letic League and it paid off for Red Bluff again in the second half. A free kick from about 30 Cards 1 away yards out played by Fredy Her- rera found its way to Garrett Ward in the box and the sopho- more headed home a 3-1 lead.

Red Bluff hosts Enterprise next Friday at 4 p.m. Curry to start for Raiders Sunday ALAMEDA (AP) — Three days ago Aaron Curry was a backup strongside linebacker in Seattle. Now he's preparing to start at the weak side for the Oakland Raiders on Sunday. Curry's prospects took a sudden turn Friday when coach Hue Jackson announced that the first-round pick in the 2009 draft will replace Quentin Groves in the Raiders' starting defense at home against the Cleveland Browns. Groves has been a starter since signing with Oakland before last season. Talk about a whirlwind week. ''It's been very eventful, very exciting,'' Curry said after donning a Raiders T-shirt. ''Just to know that Coach has faith in me that I can come in and play right away is a great confidence-booster for me, just to know that he believes in me.'' Not many people in the Pacific Northwest had faith in Curry anymore. The No. 4 overall pick two years ago went from a can't miss prospect to a bench player in Seattle before the trade with Oakland was completed Thursday. Although he seemed to play well enough against the run, Curry struggled in pass coverage and couldn't get fully comfortable in the Seahawks' system. Jackson told Curry to leave his problems in the past. ''I don't get into what all happened wherever he was,'' Jackson said. ''I brought him here for a reason and he's going to play. I didn't bring him here to look at him to figure it out or anything like that. He's the See CURRY, page 2B 49ers facing vital October game SANT A CLARA (AP) — It has been a long time since the San Francis- co 49ers have played an Octo- ber game of this magnitude, but coach Jim Har- baugh and his team don't con- sider it any dif- ferent from any other week that has gotten them to this point.
