CHARLESTON, S.C. -- It was turkey time at the Charleston Classic for Wake Forest ??? and not just because its November.Demon Deacons coach Danny Manning said assistant coach Randolph Childress challenged their players to get three defensive stops in a row. We called it a turkey, Manning said.Wake Forest picked up several turkeys Sunday night in a 78-61 victory over College of Charleston to finish third in the eight-team tournament.Manning said he wanted his players focused on defense and Childress found a catchy way to do that. We had three turkeys in the first half, Manning said. Not sure how many we had in the second half, but the guys kind of rallied around that. I think were going to try and use that all year long.Especially if it leads to more defensive efforts like Wake Forest (4-1) had in beating the Cougars (3-2).The Deacons held Charleston to 33.3 percent shooting overall and 27.8 percent on threes. They had five blocks and out-rebounded their opponents 36-30 in finishing 2-1 at TD Arena.Bryant Crawford scored 12 of his 17 points in the second half and John Collins added 15 points for Wake Forest.The Demon Deacons took control against the home-standing Cougars with a 15-6 run over the final six minutes of the opening half. They kept the pressure up after the break as Crawford had a 3-pointer and a three-point play to build a 62-42 lead midway through the period.College of Charleston (3-2) sliced that margin in half with 10 straight points, but could get no closer to lose for a second straight game.The shots were just falling, Crawford said. Coach gets on me a lot about missing layups, but today I made them.Crawford ended 7 of 12 from the field and had two of Wakes eight 3-pointers.Joe Chealey led Charleston with 19 points.Wake Forest closed an up-and-down event on a high note. It opened by hitting the 100-point mark for the first time eight years with a 103-81 victory over UTEP, then fell 96-77 to No. 3 Villanova despite shooting 50 percent from the field.This time, the Deacons mostly clicked throughout against the pesky Cougars. They finished over 50 percent (28 of 54) from the field, the fourth time in five games with such a high percentage.BIG PICTUREWake Forest: The Demon Deacons have a large group of athletic young players like sophomores Bryant Crawford, Keyshawn Woods and John Collins and freshman Brandon Childress who all saw extensive action at the Charleston Classic -- minutes that will serve them well once Atlantic Coast Conference play starts in five weeks or so. The 6-foot-10 Collins has led the Demon Deacons in four of five games this season, including all three at TD Arena this week.College of Charleston: The Cougars have to find their scoring touch if they hope to make a run in the Colonial Athletic Association this winter. Charleston shot less than 29 percent in a loss to UCF on Friday night and was struggling to make shots once more against Wake Forest.LOTS OF DEACONSWake Forest coach Danny Manning used 11 players, in part because of early foul trouble for starters Dinos Mitoglou and John Collins. Still, the team got solid showings from players not typically in the rotation. I really like our balance, Manning said. For us to get a win with John only playing 14 minutes and Dinos only 17, I think that speaks volumes to the balance we have on our team.COLD CHARLESTONCollege of Charleston struggled with its shooting throughout the tournament, something the Cougars know must improve in a hurry. Its early, Charleston guard Joe Chealey said. Its only the first five games of the season. Weve got to trust the process.UP NEXTWake Forest returns home to play Coastal Carolina on Wednesday night.College of Charleston travels to No. 3 Villanova on Wednesday night.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org Shane Prince Jersey .

SAN DIEGO -- With his 19th home run, Wil Myers is playing so well that his manager expects him to be San Diegos representative in the All-Star Game at Petco Park on July 12.And then theres 28-year-old rookie Ryan Schimpf, who hit his first big league home run Friday night, when the San Diego Padres avoided a total bullpen meltdown to hold off the New York Yankees 7-6.It felt good to get it out of there for sure, said Schimpf, who played 733 minor league games before getting his first big league call-up on June 14.He homered to right-center leading off the second inning.Its kind of always been my game, I guess, ever since I was little, said Schimpf, who hit 15 homers in 51 games at Triple-A before being called up. Kind of a big-swing guy trying to drive the ball every time. Thats just kind of how Ive always been, but obviously I dont want to be big swing, big miss. I want to go up there and put together a good at-bat and hit the ball hard.Said manager Andy Green: It was fun to see. ... Theres a lot of positives to pull from it and hes going to continue to get opportunities.Colin Rea (5-3) pitched six strong innings for the Padres, who snapped a three-game losing streak and handed the Yankees their fourth loss in six games. The righty held New York to two runs, one earned, and four hits while striking out five and walking one.The Padres, who traded closer Fernando Rodney to Miami on Thursday, then gave up four runs in the ninth.After Matt Thornton allowed pinch-hitter Alex Rodriguezs RBI single that pulled the Yankees to 7-3, Brandon Maurer came on with two on and none out in the ninth. He allowed Didi Gregorius RBI double and Aaron Hicks RBI groundout before his wild pitch brought in another run. Pinch-hitter Carlos Beltran doubled and advanced on Jacoby Ellsburys groundout before Maurer got Brett Gardner to ground out to earn his first save.Myers didnt slow down even though the calendar has turned to July. He had 11 homers, 33 RBI and 21 extra-base hits iin June.ddddddddddddMyers hit a two-run, opposite-field shot to right off Nathan Eovaldi in the fifth. Travis Jankowski was aboard on a leadoff single.I wasnt too worried about the calendar flipping, Green said. I felt pretty good about where his swing was and what he feels like, takes his walk, steals a base, homers. Its what hes been doing for a while now, so he better be an All-Star.New Yorks Brian McCann homered with one out in the sixth off Rea, his 13th.The Padres jumped on Eovaldi for three runs in the first, on an RBI single by Melvin Upton Jr. and Derek Norris two-run double.Ellsbury hit an RBI single for the Yankees in the second.Eovaldi (6-6) lost his fourth straight start, allowing six runs and seven hits in 4 1/3 innings, struck out two and walked three.`Hes got good stuff but consistently he has to locate or hes going to get hit, manager Joe Girardi said. He had two outs and he didnt make pitches.Said Eovaldi: Ive got to do a better job of being able to locate my pitches in big situations.THE SPLENDID SPLINTERThe Padres inducted San Diego native Ted Williams into their Hall of Fame, which opened earlier Friday. Williams, who attended Hoover High, played for the Padres of the Pacific Coast League in 1936 and 1937 before being sold to the Boston Red Sox.
