Canada opened Saturdays play with a 52-0 thumping of Japan, and followed with a 28-12 win over France. That was enough to guarantee them a spot in the quarter-finals of the Cup competition. In a battle for top spot in Pool B, Canada and England fought to a 7-7 draw. Philip Mack converted his own try in the first half to give Canada an early lead, but Tom Powell replied with a converted try in the second to draw England level. Both Canada and England, which is currently fourth in the IRB Sevens World Series overall standings, finished with eight points in three matches, but the Canadians took top spot in the pool with a superior point differential. "I thought we had chances to score but so did they," Canada coach Geraint John said of England. "Its important for us to top the group. Weve come close in recent tournaments but we have shown the depth here, as well as the big players stepping up." Canada will play Kenya in Sundays quarter-final. The Kenyans advanced after a surprising 33-19 win over Argentina. England will face Fiji, ranked third on the circuit. Canada reached a fifth straight quarter-finals for the first time. Earlier, Canada routed Japan behind three tries by Mike Scholz. Sean White, Connor Braid, Mike Fuailefau, John Moonlight and Harry Jones also crossed the line, while Mack booted four conversions. Moonlight, Conor Trainor, Sean Duke and Scholz scored tries against France, while Mack kicked four conversions. Canada entered the tournament seventh in the overall series standings, one point behind Samoa. The Glasgow Sevens is the second-last stop on the Sevens World Series circuit. The schedule concludes with the London Sevens next weekend. Elsewhere, New Zealand underlined its tournament ambitions with a 19-5 win over South Africa in an uncommon pool matchup of the world series two leading teams. New Zealand and South Africa previously met only in finals this season, with the Africans winning two of three. But New Zealands consistency has it leading the series by seven points. Despite resting stars DJ Forbes and Tim Mikkelson, New Zealand dominated the pool decider physically, but struggled to score. New Zealand will face Australia in the quarter-finals, while South Africa lined up host Scotland, which topped a pool for the first time in more than a year thanks to comfortable wins over Australia, the United States and Spain. http://www.airmaxonlinesalegr.com/air-max-2017.html . -- Josh MacDonalds second goal of the game kept his team alive as the Peterborough Petes edged the host Kingston Frontencas 6-5 in overtime on Friday in Ontario Hockey League playoff action. www.airmaxonlinesalegr.com . The wind caught the bunting behind home plate and puffed it out like a pillow.

Instead, the high cost of insurance will limit them to some optional off-ice workouts and maybe some golf on the side.MILWAUKEE -- Ryan Braun delivered the clutch hit for the Brewers. It nearly was their only hit. Braun hit a two-run triple off Rockies ace Ubaldo Jimenez and scored on a throwing error, lifting the Milwaukee Brewers to a 3-1 win and a three-game sweep over Colorado on Sunday. Braun came all the way around to score in the third after centre-fielder Dexter Fowler tried to make a diving catch, then compounded the problem by committing a throwing error. "When youre facing a pitcher like Ubaldo you know youre not going to get too many opportunities or square up too many balls. So when you do get hits you hope guys are on base," Braun said. "We were efficient with our hits." Or hit. Brauns liner was the only one off Jimenez until Mark Kotsays double with one out in the eighth. "It is unbelievable. One hit, three runs, very unusual game," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "Braunies ball, hit it in a good spot, the guy dives for it and it allows us really to get the third run there, which is important." Jimenez (0-4) threw the seventh complete game of his career, but struggled to find the strike zone with five walks and a hit batter. "Ive been a work in progress," Jimenez said. "I made a major step today, but I still have things to work on." Randy Wolf (4-4) allowed four hits and pitched around trouble for seven innings. He got key double plays in the fourth and fifth innings before settling down. Kameron Loe pitched the eighth and John Axford of Simcoe, Ont., saved his 12th game, including his last nine chances in a row. He struck out Jason Giambi following a two-out walk in the ninth to end it. Milwaukee improved to an NL-best 16-6 at home and has won 10 of its last 13 overall. The Brewers are playing their best baseball of the season despite almost being one-hit for the third time this year. "Im just happy with the way weve played for the last couple of weeks. I think were playing the kind of ball that allows us, in a long season, to get to where we want to be," Roenicke said. "To win a game with two hits is not going to happen very often." Colorado took a 1-0 lead in the third when Fowler tripled with two outs and scored on Carlos Gonzalezs single to right. But that was the only offence for the Rockies, who finished this road trip 1-4 and have scored 16 runs in the span. Todd Helton returned from back spasms, but struck out twice and didnt get a hit in four at-bats. "We hit some balls hhard. airmaxonlinesalegr.com. . When we do square balls up, were not catching much of a break. Thats for doggone sure. We just have to move on," Rockies manager Jim Tracy said. "With whats going on with us right now offensively, its one situation like that after another." In the bottom of the third, Carlos Gomez walked and after Wolf sacrificed him over, Rickie Weeks was hit by a pitch. With two outs and Braun up, a double steal put runners in scoring position before Braun hit a sharp liner to centre field. Fowlers dive wasnt close as the ball crossed through the shadows, and Fowlers throw back to the infield was errant, allowing Braun to sprint home to make it 3-1. "I got a pretty good jump on the ball. The ball was running away from me," Fowler said. "If it happens again, Id do the same thing at that point in the game." The Rockies typically solid defence looked shaky to Milwaukee. Colorado had at least one error in all three games, the first time thats happened all year. Wolf got in a big jam in the fourth with the bases loaded and one out before Jimenez hit into a 4-6-3 double play. In the fifth, Gonzalez hit into another double play to end a threat. "As the game went on, my command got better," said Wolf, who had entered 0-2 with a 8.56 earned-run average in three previous May starts. "When I felt like I needed to make a pitch I could to get out of some trouble where before I didnt have that comfort level out there." The Rockies fell to 1-7 in games featuring Jimenez, a 19-game winner last year. Jimenez, who had a no-hitter last season, is now 5-2 when pitching a complete game. "We knew he was going to be tough, but youve got to do what youve got to do," Brewers first baseman Prince Fielder said. "Were just winning."
