SAN DIEGO -- On the field and off of it, anyone who watched the San Diego Padres outlast the Chicago Cubs on Sunday had a similar reaction. The words might have been slightly different but the bottom line was the same. "That was the strangest game Ive seen in my life," said longtime Padres radio announcer Jerry Coleman. San Diego finally held off the Cubs for a 3-2 win in 15 innings, a game that was scoreless until Chicago scored twice in the 13th inning, only to be matched by the Padres in the bottom half. Coleman, a New York Yankees infielder from 1949-57, has spent many of his 88 years in baseball. Even he was scratching his head after Nick Hundleys game-winning RBI single ended this marathon. The Cubs grabbed a 2-0 lead in the 13th thanks in part to Padres first baseman Jesus Guzman hitting Nick Schierholtzs helmet with a throw after Schierholtz left the batters box on what looked to be a potential bases-loaded, double play. "Ive never seen that one before," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. Schierholtz said he got out of the box in an awkward manner because he tweaked his back on the swing. They he got plunked by Guzman. "Just a nightmare of a play," said Schierholtz, who said his back and head are probably fine. The Padres tied it when Ronny Cedeno made a daring dash to the plate on Kevin Greggs wild pitch after Cedeno had tripled with two outs. "I dont think Ronny saw (the ball) immediately," Padres manager Bud Black said. "Where he is, where the ball is and where the catcher is, its not a great view. You dont know how far the ball is going to come toward our dugout. "He picked it up and made a decision to go. But if there was a good throw and tag, he probably would have been out." Instead, Hundley recorded the third game-winning hit of his career and his first since he belted a home run on May 30, 2010, against Washington. "Any time you go long like that it adds a little more, its a special win," Hundley said. "Losing a game like this takes a little bit more out of you, and winning it builds momentum." Black said the victory was big, even if both teams are struggling. The Padres (59-71) are fourth in the NL West, while the last-place Cubs (55-75) have dropped 11 of 14. "It was a fantastic win when it looked as dismal as it can look," Black said. Logan Forsythe set up the winning hit with a one-out single against Hector Rondon (2-1). He moved up on a groundout before Alexi Amarista was intentionally walked. Hundley then lined a clean single into centre field, scoring Forsythe easily and giving San Diego its third win in four games. Dale Thayer (2-3) wiggled out of a jam in the top half to get the victory. The game lasted 5 hours, 13 minutes, and the teams used 15 pitchers. But it wasnt even the longest game of the weekend as Arizona beat Philadelphia 12-7 in 18 innings on Saturday night. San Diego looked poised to end the game in the 14th when it put runners on second and third with one out. But Eric Stults, batting for fellow pitcher Brad Boxberger, struck out swinging while facing a five-man infield. Chase Headley looked at a third strike to end the inning. Chicago then wasted an opportunity to go in front. The Cubs loaded the bases with one out in the 15th, but Lake grounded into a fielders choice that cut down Starlin Castro at home, and Murphy grounded out. Cubs starter Chris Rusin allowed three hits and walked four in 6 1-3 innings, lowering his ERA to 2.64. The left-hander is 0-2 in his last three starts despite a 2.00 ERA. San Diego right-hander Andrew Cashner pitched seven innings of two-hit ball against his former team. He struck out seven and walked one. "Cash threw the ball well," Black said. "It was a great game for Cash to continue to grow as a pitcher." NOTES: Cubs C Welington Castillo was back in the lineup after missing three games with bruised ribs. ...

With a couple of receivers back from injury, Petty completed 30-of-44 passes -- also throwing his first interception of the season -- and Shock Linwood rushed for 82 yards and three touchdowns for the Bears (4-0, 1-0 Big 12), who were coming off a bye week after winning their first three games by a combined score of 178-27.

Antwan Goodley, last seasons leading receiver, appeared for the first time since injuring a quad in Week 1 and had six catches for 114 yards. Baylor coach Art Briles said the plan was to throw the ball 60 times. We wanted to throw the football, he said. We felt that it fit our personnel well tonight. Sam Richardson was 17-of-39 for 212 yards and two touchdowns for the Cyclones (1-3, 0-2) and also rushed for 99 yards and a score. Baylor entered the game leading the nation in yards and points per game and ripped off 601 yards on 97 plays. The Bears also had the No. 2 scoring defense -- no big feat against their first three opponents: SMU, FCS Northwestern State and Buffalo. They ran their school-record home winning streak to 13 games, tops in the country by one game over Alabama and Northern Illinois, who were both idle this week. Baylor took an early 14-0 lead on rushing touchdowns by Linwood from two yards and Petty from 16. The Cyclones cut the deficit in half before the end of the first quarter on Dondre Daleys 11-yard touchdown catch. I think we all would agree thats a very good Baaylor football team that we watched tonight.dddddddddddd They will represent the Big 12 Conference well as the season goes along, said Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads. Im very pleased with the way our guys came out and played in the second half and quite honestly pleased with the way we finished up the first quarter. One of our goals was to start positively and we did that. Being 14-7 at the end of the first quarter gave us the opportunity to compete in this ballgame and we didnt follow that up in the second quarter. Richardson was under pressure early in the second quarter when he attempted a left-handed throw near the sideline. It was picked off by safety Orion Stewart and Petty connected with Coleman on a 25-yard touchdown pass four plays later to make it 21-7. Pettys first interception of the year came when he threw past Lynx Hawthorne and into the arms of T.J. Mutcherson. Baylor poked it loose from Mutchersons hands, but Iowa State fell on the ball. The Cyclones punted and Linwood followed with a 24-yard touchdown. Jeffersons 12-yard score later in the second quarter extended Baylors lead to 35-7 going into halftime. Richardson found a hole in the line for a 47-yard touchdown run in the third quarter, but Baylor responded with Linwoods 7-yard score at the other end to keep a 28-point lead. Petty added a 1-yard score while Aaron Wimberly had a 1-yard touchdown run and Tad Ecby caught a 51-yard touchdown pass from Richardson for Iowa States last points.
