Sunday Sport Stories 4/5/09

This is the first day that I breakdown some major events that happened the day before.

Jeff Gordon leads way at Texas Motor Speedway
Jeff Gordon snapped his 47 game winless streak yesterday by winning the Samsung 500 at Fort Worth. Gordon lead most of the way by leading 105 laps followed by Greg Biffle who lead 93 laps but ended up in 3rd. Jimmie Johnson was 2nd in the race. Rookie Joey Logano ended up in 30th place while Dale Earnhardt Jr. ended up 21st. There will be more NASCAR coverage every two weeks in the NASCAR Biweekly Report

Derek Lowe Shuts down Phillies. Takes 4-1 victory on opening day.
Derek Lowe pitched 8 shutout innings and allowed only 2 hits in his premiere against Philadelphia. Atlanta scored all their runs by homers from Francouer, McCann, and by rookie Jordan Schafer. Bobby Cox was a bit ecstatic after the game responding that the Braves were 100% better than last year. Their next game is on Tuesday.

Red Wings Crush Wild's hopes of a playoff position with last minute goal. Detroit wins 3-2
Marion Hossa crushed the Wild of any hope of winning with a last-minute goal to put Detroit on top. The Wild have 83 points. There are 3 games left to get three points. They still have a chance, but with that loss, they would have to work even harder.

Mavericks Crush Suns 140-116 has better opportunity for 8th spot
The Mavs won one of their most important games of the season. It led to most likely a playoff spot to play against the Lakers. The Mavs scored 42 points in the second quarter.
