JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Navys final fourth-down play worked to perfection. Just dont bother asking coach Ken Niumatalolo how it played out.I had my eyes closed. I was praying, Niumatalolo said. It obviously worked out great.It helped Navy get a rare win against Notre Dame.Will Worth ran for 175 yards and two touchdowns, his eighth consecutive game with a rushing score, and the Midshipmen beat the Fighting Irish 28-27 Saturday in the nations longest-running intersectional rivalry.Navy (6-2) won its fourth game against Notre Dame since 1963. The Irish (3-6) had won five in a row in the series.Were kind of in euphoria, Cloud 9 right now having beaten Notre Dame, Niumatalolo said. Ive been here a long time. Weve had some crushing defeats to these guys. To be able to finally come out on top, it feels so gd.Irish coach Brian Kelly deserved some of the blame for this one. Trailing 28-24 with a little more than 7 minutes to go, Kelly opted for a 31-yard field goal instead of trying to convert a fourth-and-4 play at the 14. He made the call even though his defense hadnt forced a punt all afternn.Well, certainly thought about going for it, Kelly said. Now in hindsight, its something that we didnt get the ball back. But 28-27 made sense to me at the time. Even if they score a touchdown, we still have the opportunity to score and get the two-point conversion. ... But those are the decisions you got to make.Again, I dont question the decision to go for the field goal other than the fact that we couldnt get the ball back.Navy got the ball and ran out the clock with its triple-option offense. Worth converted two huge fourth-down plays on the final drive, one on a dive play near midfield and another with a pass to Jamir Tillman that essentially ended it.Worth tk a knee after that, setting off a raucous celebration that surely will continue through the weekend.There are no words for that (win), Tillman said. Every year we get so close. But close only matters in horseshoes. So it feels crazy to bet them my senior year and to go out just how we did.Tillman finished with four receptions for 41 yards. Worth notched with his fourth straight 100-yard rushing performance and fifth of the season.The kids playing phenomenal, Niumatalolo said. Were where were at right now because of Will Worth. Hes given our team belief the way he plays, tough, hard-nosed and hes created an edge on our ftball team. Were a scrappy team thats not going to back down from anybody. A lot of that edge comes from the way he plays.Navy finished with 368 yards, including 320 on the ground.The Midshipmen actually punted once, but it was wiped out after a replay because Notre Dame had 12 men on the field. Instead, the Midshipmen kept the drive alive, converted a fourth-and-1 play and Worth later scored his second rushing TD and his 15th of the season.Listen, Navy won the game, Kelly said. Im not here to cry over that call. We had chances to get off the field and we couldnt get off the field.THE TAKEAWAYNotre Dame: The Irish now need to win out against Army, Virginia Tech and USC to become bowl eligible. It was the Irishs fifth loss in seven games, continuing Kellys worst season in seven years. The Irish have a young team and should be better in 2017, but making a bowl seems like a long shot.Navy: The Middies are bowl eligible again, improving to 23-5 in their last 28 games. Three of those losses came against ranked teams.KIZER SHINESNotre Dames DeShone Kizer completed 19 of 27 passes for 223 yards and three touchdowns. He added 52 yards rushing and didnt have a turnover. But he was standing on the sideline, unable to do anything, in the final 7-plus minutes.UP NEXTNotre Dame: Plays Army in San Antonio, Texas, next Saturday. The Irish have won 14 in a row in the series.Navy: Hosts Tulsa in the teams home finale.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- Minnesota Twins manager Paul Molitor will be happy not to have to play Evan Longoria again this season after Sundays series finale.Hes had a pretty gd season against us, Molitor said after Longoria hit his 24th home run of the season as part of the Tampa Bay Rays 7-3 win over the Twins on Saturday night. I dont know what his totals are, but every time we get him out, Im relieved.In six games against the Twins, Longoria has six home runs this year. That matches the most of any major-league player this year against Minnesota. Clevelands Mike Napoli also has six, but in 13 games. Longoria has 14 career home runs against the Twins, his most against any non-division opponent.Hes made us pay, Molitor said. All six games, I think hes been a contributing factor.The Rays hit three more solo home runs in Saturdays win -- theyre on pace for a team-record 211 home runs this season, though manager Kevin Cash was also happy to see some small-ball scoring with multiple stolen bases and aggressive baserunning on wild pitches.Love the home runs, Cash said. But the way we have found some ways to manufacture some runs here of late has been really nice. We struggled with doing that for a lot of the season.The Rays are 6-3 on their homestand, which secures their first winning homestand of the season. The Arizona Diamondbacks are now the only team that has gone all season without at least one seriies win.ddddddddddddThe Rays will send Matt Andriese, literally stretching himself back out to be a starter after an extended stint in the Tampa Bay bullpen, to mound Sunday. His first start Tuesday saw him throw 58 pitches in four effective innings, and he should be able to work longer this time around.Andriese (6-2, 2.72) beat the Twins on June 4, despite giving up eight hits and three runs (two earned) in five innings. Last year, he struggled in relief against Minnesota, giving up five runs in three innings. Hell remember Twins leadoff hitter Brian Dozier, whos 3-for-5 against him with a home run and four RBI.Thats still better than Minnesotas Sunday starter, fellow right-hander Kyle Gibson, who is 0-4 for his career against the Rays with an 8.85 ERA, having allowed 20 earned runs in 20 1/3 innings. This season, Gibson is 3-6 with a 4.94 ERA, but hell need to be careful with Tampa Bays 3-4 hitters -- Longoria has a .400 career average against him and Brad Miller is at .455.The two teams, with nearly identical records at the bottom of the American League standings, go in opposite directions after Sundays game. Tampa Bay hits the road for a six-game swing in Toronto and New York, and the Twins return home for seven games against the Houston Astros and Kansas City Royals. ' ' '
