Their fast-improving defense saw to that. Bradford busted a lengthy slump with a 52- yard touchdown pass to rookie Chris Givens for a two-TD cushion and Robert Quinn had three of the Rams' nine sacks on Kevin Kolb to keep the previously unbeaten Ari- zona Cardinals in check in a 17-3 victory Thursday night. unbeaten season ST.

By DN Staff Report The Corning Cardinals with seven shots, had two assists and a second-half goal. Jennings led the team The Cardinals' Audrey Mora, who finished with four shots, put her team up 1-0 with a corner score off a pass from Keara Terras, who also finished with four shots.

And Jennings MLB AL MVP debate pits new thought against old guard Courtesy photos Arizona (4-1) scored at least 20 points in each of its first four games, but had no luck containing a pass rush that had totaled just six sacks on the year, and got stopped twice inside the 20 in the final minutes. The Rams also had a strong defensive game last week in a 19-13 victory over Seattle, also at home. Lance Kendricks caught a 7-yard TD pass in the first quarter and Greg Zuerlein kicked a 53-yard field goal in the second quarter for the Rams (3-2), who are 3-0 at home and ended Arizona's seven- game winning streak in St. Louis — the Cardinals' home before leaving for the desert in 1988.

How could that be? Mike Trout, that's how. It's the hottest debate in baseball, seemingly pitting old-school traditionalists against new-age number crunchers in a bench-clearing shouting match over what constitutes ''valuable.'' At stake is the American League's Most Valuable Player award, perhaps the game's top individual prize. Cabrera capped an extraordinary season Wednesday night by becoming the first Triple Crown winner in the majors since Boston's Carl Yastrzemski in 1967. The Detroit Tigers' slugger led the league with a .330 bat- ting average, 44 homers and 139 RBIs — the standard statistical categories by which excellence was com- monly judged for the better part of the past century. ''If he's not the MVP then there's no such thing,'' Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. Trout, however, made some history of his own. See MVP, page 2B scored an unassisted goal after a dodge and drive. Kaitlyn Huntley, who had five saves, communi- cated well with the defense and the Cardinals outran the Lassen squad. Corning will travel to Yuba City today for a tournament that will go through Saturday.
