Travis Buck decided from the moment he made contact that he would stretch his hit into a triple. The rookie wanted to test center fielder Johnny Damon and did so - barely.

Three batters later, Buck scored the winning run on Bobby Kielty's bases-loaded grounder in the bottom of the 11th inning, and the Oakland Athletics rallied for a 5-4 win over the New York Yankees on Friday night.

"I basically made that decision coming out of the box," said Buck, whose father grew up a Yankees fan. "Damon doesn't have that strong of a throwing arm. I wanted to test it. ... Crossing the plate with the winning run to beat the Yankees ... I'm still trying to calm down."

The Texas Longhorns almost have their 29th win of the season.

Texas had a 7-2 lead on Texas Tech with two outs in the ninth inning Friday when a storm blew into UFCU Disch-Falk Field, shutting down the lights and causing the game to be suspended until 2 p.m. today.

"That's the biggest storm I've ever played in," said Longhorns first baseman Chance Wheeless, who extended his hitting streak to 16 games with a single in the second inning. "Look at the wind."

Sell, the marketing supervisor for the UW-Madison's Surplus With A Purpose (SWAP) Shop, is anxious for the participants in the first Wiscontrepreneur Challenge to walk the aisles of the shop at 2102 Wright St.

The goal will be for students to find items worth no more than $10 at the East Side shop that they can turn into a business.

Maybe the idea will come from a $1 bag of paper clips or a container of 100, 3-inch glass capillary tubes. The store also holds old desks, chairs, file cabinets, dozens of three-ring binders and boxes of computer parts.
