SAN DIEGO -- Philadelphia Phillies right-fielder Delmon Young says Ben Revere is not the type of player to give up. "Hes had to fight for everything his whole life, hes not going to give up on an at-bat with a chance to win the game there," Young said. The left-handed hitting Revere battled through an eight-pitch at-bat against left-hander Tommy Layne before hitting a grounder to second with the game tied 5-5 in the 13th inning. San Diegos Logan Forsythe bobbled Reveres grounder and then threw home wildly, leading to two unearned runs in Philadelphias 7-5 win Wednesday night. Chase Utley, who was hit by a pitch, and Domonic Brown, who walked against Layne (0-2) scored the decisive runs. Forsythe bounced a throw as he tried to prevent Utley from scoring. The ball bounced away from catcher Nick Hundley, allowing Brown to score also. "The ball was in the hole," said Forsythe. "I tried to get to it before the lip (of the grass). I misplayed it and made the error. I rushed myself. I didnt know what happened with the throw afterwards." Joe Savery (1-0) worked one inning and Jonathan Papelbon got the final three outs for his 15th save in 19 chances. The Phillies, who trailed 5-2 after six innings, rallied to tie it with an unearned run in the seventh and two runs in the eighth on a two-run home run by Delmon Young off Luke Gregerson. "I didnt light up because I missed his first two pitches by about five feet," said Young. "Those were both balls, but the one I hit was a strike. I didnt hear the noise off the bat and just the way (Carlos) Quentin approached the ball and playing in San Diego I thought it was just going to be one of those high deep flies that gets everyone on their feet and then the groans right afterwards." Chris Denorfia had given the Padres a 4-2 lead with a two-run homer in the fifth. San Diego added a run in the sixth on back-to-back doubles by Chase Headley and Kyle Blanks. Phillies starter Cole Hamels allowed five runs -- four earned -- and seven hits. He walked two and struck out five in six innings, avoiding the distinction of becoming the first Phillies pitcher to lose 12 games before July. "The guys really picked me up," said Hamels, who had won five consecutive games against the Padres with a 0.73 ERA. Padres rookie Robbie Erlin, called up from Triple-A Tucson earlier Wednesday, pitched 6 1-3 innings. He gave up three runs -- two earned -- and four hits. He struck out seven and walked only one. Erlin left the game after giving up a single to Brown and striking out Delmon Young in the seventh. The Phillies got within one with an unearned run in the seventh on an RBI single by pinch-hitter Kevin Frandsen after right fielder Kyle Blanks dropped a foul ball for an error on what would have been the final out of the inning. Nick Vincent, who gave up Frandsens hit, walked Jimmy Rollins to load the bases. But Joe Thatcher got Utley to ground out to end the threat. The Phillies scored single runs in the first and second innings to take a 2-0 lead. Michael Youngs RBI double off the wall in left-centre scored Utley. Carlos Ruiz drove in the Phillies second run with a sacrifice fly. The Padres tied it with two runs in the third.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- For a newly-minted Olympian who had just blazed a tiny trail for Saudi Arabian women, Lubna al-Omair sure looked miserable.Instead of pride, the fencer wore the face of humiliation. Her bout, make that rout, at the Rio Games lasted just 1 minute and 44 seconds. Too quick to enjoy; long enough to hurt.Afterward, waiting in rain for a minibus to whisk her away from a fight, but hopefully not an experience, to forget, al-Omair wasnt in the mood for sharing her feelings about becoming the first Saudi woman to fence at an Olympics.Does she look like she wants to talk? said her minder, waving this reporter away.No, frankly, she didnt. Instead, al-Omair looked like another Saudi butterfly crushed by the wheels of discrimination.Handing out wild cards for token Saudi women to participate at the Olympics is billed as a well-meaning effort to promote female sport. But, at the second games where this has happened, it still feels like a sham. The simple fact, proven first at the 2012 London Games and now in Rio de Janeiro, is that inviting courageous but clearly ill-equipped women from a country where they are treated as second-class citizens leaves them vulnerable to a hammering when they are then dropped in the deep end of Olympic competition.How does a 15-0 trouncing, fencings equivalent of 6-0, 6-0 in tennis, only far quicker, of al-Omair by a Brazilian ranked 80th advance the cause of Saudi women? Will it impress conservative Saudi men whose minds must be changed or simply comfort their view that sport isnt suitable for women? Will it inspire a new generation of Saudi girls to grow up hoping that they, too, might one day have their tails whipped for an Olympic TV audience?Clearly, as well as opportunities to participate, Saudi women also need the International Olympic Committee to insist that their country guarantee them a fighting chance, with all the facilities and equal opportunities that would require.Human Rights Watch says progress for Saudi women in sports has been incremental since two of them competed for the first time in London. At the Rio Games, there are four Saudi women, although two are already out.In judo, Wujud Fahmi also was gone in blinks of the eye against a competitor from Mauritius who beat her with bout-ending ippon maneuver seconds into the first round of the womens 52-kilogram competition.Still to compete are sprinter Cariman Abu al-Jadail in the 100 meters and Sarah Attar in marathon.According to her web site, Attar lives and trains in California and hass completed nine marathons.ddddddddddddShe ran the 800 at the London Olympics, finishing last and almost a lap behind the winner of her heat in first-round qualifying.Attar says their participation in London definitely created new perspectives.There is now a generation of Saudi Arabian girls growing up with the possibility of women competing in the Olympics, she wrote in running magazine Like the Wind ahead of the Rio Games. They see sports and athletic competition as something they can strive towards, and that is incredibly powerful.Human Rights Watch isnt so glowing.Its pre-Olympics report on womens sports in Saudi Arabia spoke of the profound discrimination that holds back womens and girls participation.Women cannot be seen by men while jogging in sweat pants, much less wearing fitted or revealing shorts. Most women cover their hair and face with a veil known as the niqab and all are required to wear a loose black dress known as the abaya in public. Although private women-only gyms and sports clubs are growing in popularity in major Saudi cities, public schools dont offer physical education for girls.Al-Omair traveled to Rio from the eastern Saudi city of Khobar. Other than that, this petite pioneer leaves as something of a mystery. The Rio Games information site offers no biographical material about her other than age (29), height (1.52 meters; 5 feet) and weight (45 kilograms; 99 pounds). It lists athlete as her occupation.Though the Saudi fencer possesses the requisite skill level, she lacks experience in top-level tournaments, the governing International Fencing Federation said in a statement to The Associated Press. Participation in more regional and international competitions will significantly increase her confidence and be of major importance in her preparations for future events.Through their meshed face masks, the Brazilian who beat al-Omair, Tais Rochel, could sense the nervousness of her inexperienced opponent.She knows the fencing technique, but she was afraid, Rochel said. In fencing, you cannot be afraid. And I could feel it.Of course, Saudi women have to start somewhere.But the Olympics are too competitive, too intimidating, too high profile for those reduced to taking baby steps.---John Leicester is an international sports columnist for The Associated Press.
