MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Utah State's Josh Thompson missed a 37-yard field goal with seconds remaining, allowing Wisconsin to hold on for a 16-14 victory Saturday night. Trailing 14-3 at halftime, the Badgers got an 82-yard punt return from Kenzel Doe to begin their comeback. Montee Ball shook off a rough night to score the go-ahead touchdown on a 17-yard run late in the third quarter. Wisconsin narrowly avoided two consecutive losses after a defeat at Oregon State last weekend.

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Rickie Weeks hit a two-run homer during a five-run fourth inning to lift the Milwaukee Brewers to a 9-6 win over the New York Mets on Saturday night. Trailing 4-1 in the fourth the Brewers rallied for five runs in Miller Park to win for the 19th time in 25 games. The victory keeps them in the hunt for a wild card spot.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) -- Francisco Liriano took a no-hitter into the seventh inning, and the Chicago White Sox stayed on top of the AL Central with a 5-3 victory over the Minnesota Twins. Acquired from the Twins on July 28th, the victory was Liriano's third for the White Sox and his first against Minnesota.
