WELLESLEY, Mass. -- Ellen Port moved into position for her third U.S. Senior Womens Amateur title and seventh USGA championship, winning two matches Wednesday on her 55th birthday -- and 32nd anniversary of her fathers death -- to reach the final.This is always a day of mixed emotions in my life, said Port, from St. Louis. But I have gratitude. I count my blessings. You never know if youll pass this way again. It takes so much to reach the finals.Port will face 55-year-old Andrea Kraus of Baltimore in the title match at Wellesley Country Club.Port beat Lisa Schlesinger of Laytonsville, Maryland, 2 and 1 in the morning quarterfinals and outlasted Laura Coble of Augusta, Georgia, in 19 holes in the afternoon semifinals.When you get to match play, you just have to never give up and be very patient, Port said. My `A game hasnt shown up. Ive just been kind of inconsistent.Kraus needed extra holes in both matches, topping Canadas Judith Kyrinis in 21 holes in the quarterfinals and Karen Garcia of Cool, California, in 19 holes in the semifinals. Kraus got past the quarterfinals for the first time in USGA play.I had a really long day with two really long matches against two terrific players, Kraus said. It wasnt flawless golf. We were tired. By the end it was who could survive, and I happened to survive today.Port won in 2012 and 2013 after taking U.S. Womens Mid-Amateur titles in 1995, 1996, 2000 and 2011. With six USGA womens titles, shes tied with Hollis Stacy for fourth place -- one behind Carol Semple Thompson and Anne Quast Sander and two behind JoAnne Gunderson Carner. Port is playing for 55th USGA championship event.When the gun goes off tomorrow, none of that will matter, Port said. Ill just convince myself that Im the worlds greatest amateur. Its what Ive done my whole life. Thats just how I operate.Port pulled even with Coble with a birdie win on the par-3 15th, halved the par-4 16th and par-5 17th and 18th with pars and won with a par on the par-4 19th. In the quarterfinals, Port finished off Schlesinger with a par win on 17.I never feel out of a match, Port said. I love being able to pull off a shot. I think I can really focus in on the task at hand and keep from getting too far ahead of myself. Its just me and the golf course. Thats the way its always been. Thats all I can control, and that frees me up.Kraus squared the match with Garcia with a par win on 17, halved the 18th with a bogey and won with a par on the first extra hole. In the quarterfinals, Kraus won the 14th and 15th to tie Kyrinis, and ended it with a par win on the 21st.It is pretty nice to finally get to a final, it really is, Kraus said. Its really exciting. Im delighted. Ill do my best.Dexter Manley Redskins Jersey .

Dozier, whose 41 home runs rank second in the majors behind Mark Trumbos 42 for Baltimore, watched across the field with envy as the Mets pursued an NL wild card.The opportunity to kind of learn these last couple of weeks, to see these teams and how they play when they are in the running for something special, thats what you have to take from these games right now, he said.The 43-year-old Colon (14-7) won for the fourth time in five decisions, allowing three singles in seven innings. Rookie pitcher Jose Berrios singled softly to right in the third in his first big league plate appearance, and Dozier reached on a slow bouncer to third that left Jose Reyes with no throw. Colon then retired Jorge Polanco on a flyout to escape a bases-loaded jam.Polanco singled in the sixth for the Twins last hit. Jeurys Familia worked around a pair of walks in the ninth to complete the three-hitter, retiring pinch-hitter Kennys Vargas on a flyout to deep left for his 49th save in 53 chances.Really, we hit one ball hard, said Minnesotas Paul Molitor, managing on the 20th anniversary of his 3,000th hit.Reyes and Asdrubal Cabrera hit consecutive home runs against Berrios in the third, and Yoenis CCespedes added an RBI single in the seventh off Pat Light.ddddddddddddThe 22-year-old Berrios (2-7) was 2 when Colon made his big league debut in April 1997. Berrios allowed two runs and four hits in four innings and has given up 12 home runs in 48 2/3 innings. He dropped to 0-6 in seven starts since beating Cleveland on Aug. 1 in his return from the minors.After walking the bases loaded in the first, Berrios retired T.J. Rivera on an inning-ending flyout.I went over and I told him it might not be the prettiest zero youve ever put up, but it was a zero and regroup and get yourself back out there, Molitor said.WAY BACK WHENBerrios said the hit was his first since high school.It was a beautiful moment, he added.
