COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) β Another week, another new starting quarterback at South Carolina. Getting the call: freshman Lorenzo Nunez. Gamecocks coach Steve Spurrier had promised changes ahead after his team’s 52-20 loss at Georgia last week. The coach began the moves by replacing former walk-on Perry Orth with true freshman in Nunez.
NEW YORK (AP) β Rookie right-hander Matt Wisler stopped his nine-start winless drought and the Atlanta Braves stalled the New York Mets’ push toward the NL East title with a 6-2 victory last night. David Wright homered as the Mets lost for the fifth time in seven games.
ATLANTA (AP) β Jim Furyk has withdrawn from the Tour Championship because of a wrist injury and doesn’t know if he can play the Presidents Cup. Furyk still gets the $132,000 paid to the last-place finisher in the 30-man field at East Lake, though the sum will not count on the official money list.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) β The Tennessee Titans have added offensive lineman Dillon Farrell to their practice squad and have waived tight end Tevin Westbrook. Farrell, who is 6-foot-5 and 303 pounds, played eight games for the San Francisco 49ers last season. The 25-year-old Farrell had joined the 49ers as an undrafted free agent from New Mexico.
