But Clarke continued his innings and later went to his century with a cover drive for four off Neil Dexter.Worcestershires director of cricket Steve Rhodes said: In many ways we got out of jail. Leicestershire were ahead of us for a period of time but what I was really impressed with was the spirit we showed when it really mattered.Joe Clarkes innings was a match winning innings. I have seen something like that before. George Sharp once gave Daryl Mitchell out and realised hed made a mistake and reversed the decision and there have been other occasions it has been done.I think you have to take that sort of thing on the chin. I know it is going to upset Leicestershire but if the umpire thinks he has made the wrong decision then he has a right to change his decision and you just get on with it.Cosgrove did not protest too loudly after the match. We played pretty well all game. We knew there wasnt much in the game so with the declaration we had to leave a little bit of a carrot there and they batted really well. The umpire made his decision, he changed his mind and brought him back. It is just one of those things. You dont see it very often.Clarke shared in a fifth wicket stand of 142 in 34 overs with Ross Whiteley who survived three chances to equal his best score of the season - 71. Then Joe Leach accompanied Clarke in a sixth wicket partnership of 108 in 17 overs.Clarke was eventually run out for a chanceless 123 from 172 balls with 17 fours by Leicestershire keeper Ned Eckersleys direct hit at the non-strikers end after Leach had called his partner through for a quick single.But Leachs second major contribution with the bat of the game - 64 not out from 51 balls - saw Worcestershire over the finishing line. It was their second Championship success of the campaign and rekindled their promotion challenge.Daryl Mitchell and Brett DOliveira safely negotiated eight overs before lunch when Worcestershire began their reply in a mattch rekindled by Leicestershirees declaration but then four wickets went down in the same period immediately after the interval.Clint McKay removed the openers, having Mitchell (32) caught behind and DOliveira (16) at gulley after he fended off a lifting delivery.Tom Fell (10) then nicked a Charlie Shreck through to the keeper and the same bowler held onto a return catch from Tom Kohler-Cadmore (5) to leave Worcestershire on 73-4 with 59 overs still remaining.Cosgrove and Paul Horton had earlier scored centuries and rewrote the record books as Leicestershire added 135 in 29 overs this morning before the declaration.The pair created a new third wicket record for Leicestershire in matches against Worcestershire by adding 264 in 57.3 overs before Cosgrove declared at 307-3 after his dismissal for 148.It surpassed the previous best stand of 194 by Chris Balderstone and Brian Davison at Grace Road in 1975. Horton was the first to three figures off 198 balls with 11 fours after Leicestershire resumed on 172-2 and the former Lancashire player also completed 10,000 first class runs in his career.Cosgrove, who survived a chance on 66 off Joe Leach, went to his hundred off 165 deliveries with 16 boundaries and the Australian and ex Glamorgan batsman chalked up 12,000 first class runs.He cut loose after reaching three figures, clubbing 6-4-4 and 4-6-4 off successive balls in back to back overs from DOliveira and Jack Shantry.Cosgrove was eventually bowled by Jack Shantry and immediately declared to leave Horton unbeaten on 117.Curtis Samuel Womens Jersey .

He wont be playing.Pittsburgh manager Clint Hurdle, looking for anything that might get the center fielders bat in gear, decided to bench him for the three-game series against the Braves.Why not give it try, since nothing else has worked, Hurdle said.Lets try this because we have tried just about everything else, Hurdle said.The final contest of the three-game series features Atlanta rookie right-hander Tyrell Jenkins (1-2, 4.91) against veteran right-hander Ryan Vogelsong (1-1, 3.74), who is making his first start since getting hit in the face by a pitch May 23.The two teams have split the first two games of the series. Pittsburgh is 4-2 against Atlanta this year.McCutchen has suffered through a very atypical season. The veteran is batting .241 -- 52 points below his career average -- with 15 home runs and 43 RBI. It is unlikely he will be able to extend his streak of five straight years with at least 80 RBI. If the Pirates have any hopes staying in the picture for the wild card spot, they need McCutchen to return to form.The man has tried everything, Hurdle said. At this point were asking him to step away, hit the pause button and get away from it for three games.McCutchen is 1-for-12 with one RBI on the six-game road trip.McCutchen hesitantly agreed to givee Hurdles plan a try, although he didnt necessarily agree with the ploy.ddddddddddddI wouldnt be taking days off, McCutchen said. Not something I prefer for myself. They seem to think so. Well see.The pitching matchup offers quite a contrast with Jenkins, 24, making his fourth career start against Vogelsong, 39, trying to extend his career.Jenkins picked up his first major league win in his last start against the Phillies, going six innings and allowed only an unearned run. Jenkins has allowed two runs or fewer in three of his four starts. Jenkins, the 2015 Minor League Pitcher of the Year for the Atlanta organization, has never faced Pittsburgh.In four rehab starts since he was struck in the left eye, Vogelsong was 1-2 with a 2.86 ERA. He will be making his third start of the season and first against Atlanta. Vogelsong is 2/3 with a 5.08 ERA in eight career appearances (five starts) against the Braves.The Pirates may need to make a decision on catcher Franciso Cervelli, who was hit in the head by a pitch Tuesday and was being monitored for a concussion. If Cervelli needs to go on the concussion disabled list, he would be replaced by Elias Diaz, who was brought to Atlanta in case he was needed. The Pirates are likely to make a decision before Thursdays game. ' ' '
