Corroto sets Gannon all-time hit mark

HILLSDALE, Mich. — Jaclyn Corroto, a senior shortstop for the Gannon Univ. softball team from Boardman High, became Gannon’s all-time hits leader Sunday.

Corroto went 4-for-4 at the plate in the second game of a doubleheader against Hillsdale won by Gannon, 8-7, to climb into first place in career hits at the Erie, Pa., school with 234.

She eclipsed the previous record of 232 held by Sarah Kane (1998-01).

Corroto also scored twice to give her 154 career runs scored, leaving her three runs shy of breaking the school record of 156 held by Larissa Smith (1994-97).

Among Corroto’s four hits was a three-run homer, and she finished the game with four RBIs.

Will Power wins last-ever Champ race

LONG BEACH, Calif. — Will Power led most of the way Sunday in the streets of Long Beach, winning the final race of the Champ Car World Series, the last remaining remnant of the 12-year rivalry between the newly unified American open-wheel series.

The race was run with Champ Car teams, drivers and equipment, but the points awarded were for the IRL’s IndyCar Series, which ran a race earlier Sunday in Japan because of a scheduling conflict.

Busch keeps winning

MEXICO CITY — Different tracks. Different vehicles. The results are still the same for Kyle Busch.

Busch won his third consecutive race on NASCAR’s Nationwide Series — and his first career road-race win — when he held off Marcos Ambrose by less than a second Sunday in the Corona Mexico 200.

This was Busch’s 27th career victory in NASCAR’s top three series. He led for 22 of 80 laps, second to Scott Pruett’s 36. Busch passed Pruett on the 72nd of 80 laps to take the lead.
