DENVER -- Andrew Susacs first homer of the season came on his final swing. Not a bad way to head into the winter.Not a bad for Milwaukee to wrap up the season, either, as the catchers two-run drive in the 10th inning lifted the Brewers over the Colorado Rockies 6-4 in the finale Sunday.I wanted to do anything to help this team, said Susac, who was acquired from San Francisco on Aug. 1. Its tough to do when you dont play.After Orlando Arcia hustled for a two-out double, Susac followed with a liner to left off Chris Rusin (3-5) as the Rockies bullpen struggled to hold the lead -- a recurring trend this season. It was Susacs first homer since July 12 last year while with the Giants.Reliever Tyler Thornburg (8-5) won after blowing a lead for a second straight day. Corey Knebel pitched a perfect 10th for his second save, striking out Charlie Blackmon to end the season.DJ LeMahieu sat out Sunday to protect his lead in the batting title race. It worked as LeMahieu edged Washingtons Daniel Murphy by.3478 to .3465.Certainly one of the best story lines of this season, especially when you take into account the guy -- the type of guy DJ is and how hard hes worked to achieve that, Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. Thats no small achievement, to win a batting title in this league.LeMahieu didnt really know what to think, mostly because it hadnt quite sunk in.Its a relief, LeMahieu said.There was plenty of intrigue with Milwaukees Chris Carter and Colorados Nolan Arenado dueling for the NL home run title. Both were kept in the park Sunday and finished tied with 41.It would be cool to win by myself. But at the same time, hes had a great year for himself. He earned it, said Arenado, who led the league in RBI with 133. Im just happy I had another good year. Its cool. Its a cool thing to be a part of.Carter hit 24 last season with Houston.I feel good to bounce back and have a good year, said Carter, who posed for photos with Arenado before the game. I worked hard to more consistent and improve as a hitter.Domingo Santana hit a two-run homer in the eighth to give the Brewers a 4-3 lead. It wouldnt last as Jordan Patterson tied it with a two-out single in the ninth that scored Arenado. Patterson also had a run-scoring double in the fifth -- his first two major league RBI.The Brewers struck out 12 times to give them a big league record 1,543 for the season, topping Houstons 1,535 in 2013.Blackmon led off with a homer -- the 10th time hes done that this year. He also had two doubles and a single in what could be Weiss last game with the Rockies. His contract expires at the end of the season and the front office has yet to announce whether they will bring Weiss back.Thats never weighed on me, as a player, as a manager, Weiss said. Im always going to show up the same way, no matter what my contract situation is.TRAINERS ROOMBrewers: OF Ryan Braun was given the day off on the final afternoon of the season. Hes at 135 games right now, thats a success, manager Craig Counsell said.Rockies: SS Trevor Story (torn ligament in left thumb) said hes about a month away from being full go. He was limited to 97 games, but led all rookies with 27 homers.OLYMPIC SPIRITOlympians Emma Coburn and Jenny Simpson threw out the first pitch Sunday -- while wearing their bronze medals from the Rio de Janeiro Games. Simpson (1,500 meters) and Coburn (steeplechase) crossed things up by throwing to opposite catchers.THIS & THATBrewers infielder Jonathan Villar fell a homer shy of becoming the fourth player in major league history to hit 20 homers and steal 60 bases. He wound up with a league-leading 62 stolen bases. ... Milwaukee started reliever Tyler Cravy for two innings and then turned things over to the bullpen.TRENDING UPMilwaukee (73-89) won five more games than a season ago and Colorado (75-87) turned in its best record since 2010.UP NEXT:The Brewers host the Rockies in a four-game series to open the 2017 season.Trace McSorley Jersey .B. - Sebastien Auger made 44 saves as the Saint John Sea Dogs edged the visiting Acadie-Bathurst Titan 2-1 on Saturday in Quebec Major Junior Hockey League action. Ronnie Stanley Jersey . Perhaps Carroll was so prepared for a break because he believes there is very little the Seattle Seahawks need heading into the off-season. "I dont see anything that we need to add. We just have to get better," Carroll said. http://www.customravensjersey.com/custom-matthew-judon-jersey-large-2213d.html . The mixed zone is not a place to make friends. Elvis Dumervil Jersey . -- Matt Rupert scored once in regulation and again in the shootout as the London Knights extended their win streak to nine games by defeating the Owen Sound Attack 4-3 on Friday in Ontario Hockey League action. Bradley Bozeman Jersey . Blackwood, 28, has played the last three seasons in the San Diego Padres system, including the past two summers with Class AA San Antonio of the Texas League.IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Funny things tend to happen when Iowa and Iowa State get together.This years matchup was a record-setting rout for the Hawkeyes -- and it ended with a wedding engagement for one of Iowas biggest stars.C.J. Beathard threw for 235 yards and three touchdowns and 16th-ranked Iowa throttled Iowa State 42-3 on Saturday night, its biggest win over the rival Cyclones in 18 seasons under coach Kirk Ferentz.Matt VandeBerg had 129 yards receiving and a touchdown for the Hawkeyes. But VandeBergs performance will likely be his second favorite memory of a night he finished by proposing to his girlfriend, who said yes.Asked if he wouldve popped the question had Iowa lost, Vandeberg joked that we didnt lose, so I dont have to answer that question.Losing never seemed like an option for Iowa.LeShun Daniels rushed for 112 yards and a TD to help the Hawkeyes (2-0) beat Iowa State in consecutive seasons for the first time in six years.Beathard put the game out of reach with the three TD passes in the first half -- including a brilliant 12-yard toss to a heavily defended VandeBerg.Certain games, when you get a couple of completions and you get in a groove, said Beathard, who was 19-of-28 passing. The guys were making the plays that needed to be made.By jumping out to a big lead, the Hawkeyes negated Iowa States efforts to get star back Mike Warren going after a rough opener. Warren, who led all freshmen nationally with 1,337 yards a year ago, had just 28 on seven carries.Joel Lanning was 8 of 20 for 86 yards and an interception for Iowa State and was pulled late in the third quarter for Jacob Park, setting up a potential quarterback controversy just two games into the season.I think well sit down and figure that situation out and really make the best decision as we move forward, Iowa State coach Matt Campbell said.THE TAKEAWAYIOWA: The Hawkeyes offense has the potential to be one of the best that Ferentz has ever had. Iowa did basically whatever it wanted in the first half, gaining 153 yards in the air, 113 on the ground and scoring 28 points.dddddddddddd Beathard and VandeBerg, both seniors, hooked up for a number of tough receptions in tight windows and Daniels and Akrum Wadley -- who had a rushing and receiving TD -- combined for their second straight strong performance. Its a lot of hard work. Everyone was doing an excellent job of executing on the offensive side of the ball, Daniels said.IOWA STATE: Former coach Paul Rhoads said in his final press conference that the Cyclones would go to a bowl in 2016. That looks highly unlikely -- and its only the middle of September. Iowa State was hoping to pull off an upset over the favored Hawkeyes like it did in 2012 and 2014. But by the middle of the first quarter, it was clear they didnt have a chance.POLL IMPLICATIONSThe Hawkeyes could potentially move up a few spots -- simply because theyve done what they were expected to do while other teams have stumbled.NOTABLESIowa State had a fourth-down and 1 at the Iowa 36 late in the first half down 28-3. The Cyclones were flagged for an illegal formation, and Lanning was sacked to end the half. Iowa State was also called for two ineligible receiver penalties in three plays in the fourth quarter. ...Allen Lazard had 111 yards receiving in a losing effort.THE LAST WORDFalse start. Everybody but the center, Referee Mike Defee said after penalizing Iowa in the first quarter. The flag didnt matter though, as the Hawkeyes opened the scoring two plays later on Beathards TD pass to George Kittle.UP NEXTIOWA: The Hawkeyes will host five-time defending FCS national champion North Dakota State next week in their final nonconference game. The Bison beat Eastern Washington 50-44 on overtime Saturday.IOWA STATE: The Cyclones open Big 12 play on the road against TCU. The Horned Frogs likely wont be a happy bunch either after falling to Arkansas at home, 41-38, in double overtime.---Online: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
