Jens Snute Aasgaard took down Tobias Showtime Sieber 4-2 to take the StarCraft II World Championship Series (WCS) Copa Intercontinental title this weekend. The field was stacked with championship hopefuls, with four players among the top-8 in the StarCraft II World Championship Series Circuit (WCS) standings.The favorite coming into the match was Milleniums Showtime (second in the WCS standings), a veteran German Protoss player. Other familiar contenders included Alex Neeb Sunderhaft (third in the WCS standings), Snute (fifth in WCS standings), Shin Hydra Dong (sixth in WCS standings), and Marc uThermal Schlappi (11th in WCS standings). The bracket results were deceptively one-sided on the surface because of the blowouts in the quarterfinals. Each player advanced with a 3-0 score despite the thin margin between each victory; only four series went beyond the minimum amount of games, including the grand finals.The grand finals between Snute and Showtime was not lacking in star power, with Snute a consistent top player with three grand finals appearances this year. Showtime, however, was the favorite player to take it all. And while these players were also considered the best in Europe, the grand finals was a battle of adaptations. Showtime countered Snutes slower pace with greedier compositions and late-game technology. Snute shored up his bases and defenses to out-micro Showtimes ability to quickly change army types.There were plenty of player-specific strategies from both players. Showtime showcased an immortal all-in to counter Snutes nonexistent pressure game, adept pushes, aggression and even a carrier armada to control the skies. Snute countered with his unique base configurations and queen positionings to prevent Showtimes aggression, roach counter plays and surprise mutalisk rush. In the end, it was Snutes complete play that allowed him to dominate the competition and continue a magical year.The third place match was the Neeb show. Despite uThermals best efforts to come back and bridge the gap between the early game, it was too large a mountain to climb. Neeb wasnt necessarily the better mechanical player, but his macro in the early game provided enough of a cushion to overlook the stalemate in microplay. Because uThermals playstyle was mostly on the defensive side, the ending of every game was up to Neebs execution and ability to close out. What was a strong matchup on paper ended in a fizzle for the third place standing.New York Mets Shirts .

I never thought Id have one homer in the big leagues, let alone 250, Reynolds said. Its a pretty cool accomplishment. Itll be pretty neat to tell my grandkids one day: `Grandpa did something cool in the major leagues. Ive got another record, too, but I dont want to tell them about that one.Reynolds holds the big league record for strikeouts in a season, 223 in 2009.His homer came on a 2-2 pitch from Kevin Quackenbush (7-6).I played an 18-inning game here one time one time a couple years ago and that was no fun, he said. This one had all the makings of it. I was able to get a pitch there and barely get it out of here.Reynolds homered on a slider.I think he spun his slider middle up in the zone, and it doesnt matter who does that, that ball gets hit, especially Mark Reynolds, Padres manager Andy Green said.Sunday was his seventh game back after the surgery.I worked hard to get back. It depends on how much pain I can tolerate when I play, managing that and just doing what I can, whether its late-inning defense or pinch-hitting here or there, or playing, Reynolds said.Charlie Blackmon also homered for the Rockies, his 25th, and hit an RBI single.Jake McGee (2-3) pitched the ninth for the win.

Travis Jankowski doubled to left-center and scored on Wil Myers triple that rolled to the fence in right-center. Yangervis Solarte brought in Myers with a sacrifice fly.Jackson allowed two runs and five hits in six innings, struck out four and walked one.I didnt necessarily feel like I had my best stuff, as far as strength-wise, Jackson said. I think I couldve went out there for another inning, but its a two-nothing game. We have guys on the bench trying to come out and produce runs. Its a pitchers duel.Bettis went seven, allowing two runs and four hits, with five strikeouts and one walk.UP NEXTRockies: LHP Tyler Anderson (5-5, 3.35) is scheduled to start the opener of a three-game series at Arizona that starts Monday night.
