LEVI, Finland -- Double overall World Cup skiing champion Marcel Hirscher continued to dominate the slalom Sunday, winning the World Cup opener ahead of countryman Mario Matt. Nationals Raudy Read Jersey . The 24-year-old Austrian skied seamlessly throughout the second run to clock an overall time of 1 minute, 45.42 seconds, securing his 10th consecutive spot on the podium in the discipline. Two-time world champion Mario Matt climbed from third place after the first run to second, 0.62 seconds behind Hirscher and Norwegian 19-year-old Henrik Kristoffersen clinched his first podium place, finishing third, 0.93 seconds back. German Felix Neureuther, who was second after the first run, had an acrobatic fall on his second run but continued to ski and ended up 27th. Hirscher dominated the slalom World Cup last season, won the slalom world title as well as his second overall title. His strong display here suggests he remains in top form ahead of the Olympics in Sochi. He said he was especially happy to win in Levi, a course that he has struggled on in the past, but tried to play down the huge expectations on him. "Im happy right now to be here, to have a podium, to have a victory," he said. "To stand for the 10th time in a row on the podium ... is a really amazing thing but once for sure this row will come to an end, every row comes to an end." In a first for this year, organizers presented the winners with a live reindeer from the local Lapland region. American teenager Mikaela Shiffrin, who won the womens race Saturday, named her reindeer Rudolf, and Hirscher said he would call his Ferdinand. American Ted Ligety, who won the Giant Slalom opening race in Soelden last month, improved from a slow first run, ending 11th, 1.96 seconds behind Hirscher. Ligety, who put a lot of focus on slalom in preseason training in an attempt to take a shot at an overall World Cup title, said he needs to improve if that strategy is to play out. "I feel like in the second run I skied a little bit more like I should be skiing," he said. "But still far from being what I really need to do in slalom. "I need to be scoring in the top five to top three, so I need to up it in this if thats going to be a meaningful route to getting me enough points," he added. Matt, 34, said he was happy to be back on the podium. "I have felt really good in the last weeks and months," he said. "Im really happy about the result, it was perfect." Kristoffersen said he was emotional to be on the podium for the first time and that the Norwegian team has worked hard together to improve its level of skiing. "Its a big step in the right direction," he said. "This is a great day, but I still have a long way to go." Meanwhile, 33-year-old veteran Ivica Kostelic of Croatia showed he was still in the game, finishing fourth. French 22-year-old Alexis Pinturault, who was sixth overall last season with three victories in three different disciplines and second after Ligety in the Giant Slalom opener in Soelden, skied out on his second run. His teammate, Julien Lizeroux, who hasnt competed since 2011 due to a knee injury, put in a solid performance, finishing in 17th place. Last years winner in Levi, Olympic bronze medallist Andre Myhrer of Sweden, committed a major mistake at the end of the track in the first run and didnt qualify for the second run. His countryman, Mattias Hargin finished 5th. The next event on the World Cup circuit is in Beaver Creek, Colo. on Nov. 26.

There is nothing Pompey can do with this small window of September opportunity to guarantee himself a position on the Blue Jaysa€? 2015 roster. Perhaps, if anything, hea€?s assured himself of an opportunity at some point. These matters are to be determined. In the meantime, sit back and enjoy a hometown boy excel. Pompeya€?s performance in Friday nighta€?s 4-2 win over the Orioles is an example of a young player feeling good about his game. a€?I think Ia€?ve gotten a little bit more confident and comfortable being here,a€? said Pompey. a€?The guys make it a nice environment for me to be here and they treat me well. They treat me as if Ia€?m one of the guys; that Ia€?ve been here for a long time, so ita€?s a credit to them. My family keeps me up through the ups and downs and I get all the support from my family and friends, which is really important to me.a€? There has been a build since Pompeya€?s first career hit, recorded on September 19 at Yankee Stadium. You may recall Pompey was stranded at first base to end that inning and as he made his way toward his leftfield position he crossed paths with outgoing Yankees legend Derek Jeter. Pompey was brief when asked to describe the nature of the exchange, only to say that Jeter wished him a long, prosperous career. The Mississauga nativea€?s first career multi-hit game came on Monday when he went 2-for-5, scoring his first run in the process. Pompey also made a brilliant catch in centrefield, going back to his left and sprawling to rob Dustin Ackley of extra bases for the second out of the fifth inning. Then, on Tuesday, the first big league home run. Pompey did it in style, too, launching a second deck shot to rightfield off of a€?Kinga€? Felix Hernandez, one of the gamea€?s elite pitchers. On Friday, Pompey began his big night with a headlong, diving catch of an Alejandro De Aza foul fly ball down the leftfield line. It was a big play because the Orioles led 1-0 at the time and were threatening for more with Ryan Flaherty on second base and two outs. a€?Hea€?s just obviously an all-around good player,a€? said Drew Hutchison (11-13), the beneficiary of the catch and who pitched five innings for the win in his final start of the season. a€?To ccome up here and not be really fazed and be out there and be confident in yourself, you know just the way he carries himself I think thata€?s more impressive than anything you do on the field. Nationals Victor Robles Jersey. a€? Pompey led off the second inning with a triple and scored on a Munenori Kawasaki bunt single. Pompey doubled and scored on a Kawasaki infield single in the third, head-down hustling from second as Oriolesa€? second baseman Jonathan Schoopa€?s throw pulled first baseman Steve Clevenger off the bag. In the fifth, with Edwin Encarnacion on first base and two outs, Pompey tripled home the Jaysa€? fourth and final run of the evening. a€?I mean it was awesome, you know,a€? said Pompey. a€?I felt like I put a couple of good swings on some balls today and they found some holes and they were able to get to the wall and I just kind of let my speed take over.a€? Remember, Pompeya€?s under a different kind of pressure a€“ hea€?s from the area and people know it. Pompey makes a big play, the stadium erupts; Pompey gets a big hit, the crowd goes wild. The difference in decibel level is noticeable. People are watching, rooting for a hometown boy they can embrace as their own. Hutchison isna€?t alone in his praise of Pompey and how hea€?s handling his first crack at the limelight. a€?Ita€?s always huge when you get off to a good start, especially considering where hea€?s come from,a€? said manager John Gibbons. a€?It wasna€?t like hea€?s been cutting his teeth at Triple-A the last couple of years and all of a sudden hea€?s coming up, I mean hea€?s looked at A-ball, a totally different game down there, Double-A is a different and briefly in Triple-A and now hea€?s facing some of the best of the game. Ita€?s not like hea€?s running into the Average Joe, the guy thata€?s coming up to make the spot start, you know Tillman tonight, Hernandez and those guys the other night. So I mean hea€?s facing some of the top guys in baseball and hea€?s handling himself so well.a€? The 21-year-old has the organizationa€?s attention. With Colby Rasmus already having vacated centrefield and with uncertainty surrounding the status of Melky Cabrera in leftfield, just months after playing for the Dunedin Blue Jays, Pompey could return to Floridaa€?s Gulf Coast next spring with a chance to crack a big league roster.
