East Division co-leader South Florida (6-2, 3-1) on the road Friday nig

Trinbago Knight Riders 165 for 5 (McCullum 49*, Akmal 30, Taylor 2-31) beat St Lucia Zouks 164 for 8 (Fletcher 41, Sammy 40, Beaton 3-23) by five wicketsScorecard and ball-by-ball detailsSt Lucia Zouks dreams of a maiden CPL title were ended by defending champions Trinbago Knight Riders, who turned out a clinical batting display in the eliminator at St Kitts to qualify for the second playoff while knocking Zouks out of the competition.Ronsford Beaton and Brendon McCullum played starring roles as Knight Riders kept Zouks to 164, before chasing down the target with five wickets in hand and nine balls to spare.St Lucias innings started strongly and finished strongly, but lost momentum in the middle. After being put in to bat, openers Johnson Charles and Andre Fletcher put on a breezy stand of 62 off 44. They had their share of luck along the way - not only did they benefit from three dropped chances, but Fletcher also survived a close shave in the second over when a Beaton yorker squeezed under his bat and hit the base of the stumps without dislodging the bails. Charles was the more attacking of the two, hitting three fours and two sixes in his 22-ball 31, but it was his dismissal in the eighth over that broke the momentum.It took Zouks 10.1 overs, and the loss of six wickets, to score their next 62. Wickets fell at regular intervals, with Beaton collecting figures of 3 for 23 including two in two in the 18th over. Fletcher, the only batsman to spend appreciable time in the middle during this phase, struggled to find the boundary and ran out of steam to finish with 41 off 43. At the fall of the seventh wicket, Zouks were languishing at 124, with just 15 balls left in the innings.However, captain Darren Sammy and Shane Shillingford provided the innings with a late fillip, smashing 40 runs in those last 15 balls, including two sixes each in that period. Knight Riders sloppy fielding cost them dearly, as Sammy and Shillingford were each dropped twice before embarking on their respective six-hitting rampages. Shillingfords two sixes came off the last two balls of the innings, propelling Zouks to 164 and leaving Knight Riders to contemplate a shoddy fielding performance that included seven drops in all.They seemed to have put that behind them by the time the run chase came around, though, with the top three getting the side off to a flying start. Though all three lost their wickets inside the Powerplay, they had helped Knight Riders on to 68 for 3 after six overs, with Umar Akmal scoring 30 off 15.Thereafter, McCullum - who had dropped two catches earlier in the day - steered the innings with an unbeaten 49 off 41. Knight Riders were in cruise control from about halfway through their chase, requiring little over a run a ball as McCullum controlled proceedings. Sunil Narine, coming in at No. 7, ensured that the match did not go into the last over; he hit consecutive sixes off Delorn Johnson* in the 19th and sealed the win with a single past point.Knight Riders now move on to the second playoff, a virtual semi-final, where they will play Jamaica Tallawahs for a berth in the final.*GMT 0730 August 5, 2016: The report had erroneously mentioned Mitchell Johnson.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- Will Worth and No. 24 Navy played keep-away with Memphis while running the Tigers into the ground.Worth rushed for a career-high 201 yards and three touchdowns, and the Midshipmen put on a dazzling display of ball control in a 42-28 victory Saturday.In addition to operating the triple option in near-flawless fashion, Worth completed three of four passes for 85 yards and two scores.We take what we can get, and today, the quarterback run game was there, Worth said. We could manage that and set up a couple of pass plays to be able to score through the air. Its just executing the game plan.The last Navy player to reach the 200-yard mark on the ground was Keenan Reynolds in 2014.Worth carried 31 times and orchestrated an attack that held the ball for nearly 40 minutes. That left high-scoring Memphis little time to counter-punch.It was kind of hard because we werent doing a great job of getting off the field defensively, Tigers coach Mike Norvell said. Offensively, its hard to be in rhythm, its hard to stay in rhythm.The Midshipmen (5-1, 4-0 American Athletic Conference) gained a season-high 447 yards on the ground, averaging 6 yards per carry.The victory put Navy in sole possession of first place in the AAC West and served as a suitable encore for its 46-40 upset of defending league champion Houston two weeks ago.Navys 14-game home winning streak is its longest at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium since the facility opened in 1959.Tony Pollard returned a kickoff 100 yards and Riley Ferguson completed 25 of 40 passes for 333 yards and two touchdowns for Memphis (5-2, 2-1). But the Tigers simply couldnt score enough to offset the damage inflicted by Navys sensational running attack.They kind of got after us up front and we had a couple of assignment issues, Norvell said. But I just thought they did a great job executing.Worths second touchdown run put Navy ahead 28-14 early in the third quarter. Memphis responded with a 9-yard TD pass from Furguson to Daniel Hurd.As the clock wound down in the third quarter, Navvy faced a fourth-and-4 at the Memphis 18.dddddddddddd Norvell called a timeout, forcing the Midshipmen to deal with the possibility of a field goal try into a stiff wind. Instead, Navy sent its offense on the field and went up 35-21 on a touchdown pass from Worth to Tyler Carmona .After Memphis again got within a touchdown, a 52-yard completion by Worth led to a 32-yard field goal try by Bennett Moehring. The kick clanged off the left upright with 5:40 to go.But a fumble by Tigers wide receiver Roderick Proctor was recovered by Navy with 3:39 remaining, and Worth clinched it with a 1-yard plunge.Worth, a 6-foot-1 senior, started the season as a second-string quarterback but was elevated to starting status after Tago Smith injured his right knee in the opener.Heres a kid who was a backup, kept his mouth quiet, Navy coach Ken Niumatalolo said. Now hes doing great things.TURNOVER EQUALITYMemphis forced 18 turnovers in its first six games, but the only one it got Saturday was when Worth hit the pylon trying to score a touchdown and lost control of the ball. The result was a touchback for the Tigers, whose lone turnover -- Proctors fumble -- was far most costly.THE TAKEAWAYMemphis: The Tigers came in as a slight favorite because their offense hadnt scored fewer than 24 points in any game. But the defense wasnt up for the challenge of Navys running attack, and now Memphis needs help to get to the AAC title game.Navy: The Midshipmen have proven they dont need Reynolds at quarterback to make the triple option sing. Navys running game is tricky, shifty and just about unstoppable for teams not accustomed to chasing the quarterback, fullback and slotback all over the field.UP NEXTMemphis: The Tigers host Tulsa next Saturday night at the Liberty Bowl.Navy: The Midshipmen face AAC East Division co-leader South Florida (6-2, 3-1) on the road Friday night.---AP college football website: collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
