In 126 games with San Antonio last season, the product of Kansas City, Missouri hit .259 with seven home runs and 61 RBI. He was named the starting third baseman for the South Division in the Texas League All-Star Game. „Jake is a big addition to our ball club,“ Forney said. „Hes the type of infielder that provides a big impact bat to our lineup. Hes been an impactful player in our league before and were hopeful he can be an impact guy for the Goldeyes in 2014.“ Prior to being signed by the Padres, Blackwood had a monster year for the Kansas City T-Bones in 2010. He hit .331 with 31 home runs and 86 RBI in 99 games. His home run and RBI totals led the Northern League, while his batting average was third in the league behind Kevin West and Juan Diaz of the Goldeyes. Blackwood also led the NL with 82 runs scored, 271 total bases, a .636 slugging percentage and a 1.014 OPS. Blackwood, who has experience at all four infield positions and the two corner outfield positions, was drafted by the Florida Marlins in the 16th round of the 2006 MLB amateur draft. He played four-and-a-half seasons in their system before being released and signing with the T-Bones.  The Goldeyes now have 12 players signed for the 2014 season, including six pitchers and six position players. Goga Bitadze Jersey .Y. – DeMarre Carroll felt as though he couldnt miss in the second quarter as he outscored the Brooklyn Nets 14-13 all by himself. Rik Smits Jersey .The South African had three birdies on the front nine and another four after the turn at Leopard Creek Country Club to move to 16-under 128 overall.Grace, who won all four of his European Tour titles in 2012, dropped his only shot of the competition on the par-3 fifth.CALGARY – Chalk up yet another third period comeback for the Calgary Flames.Led by Lance Boumas first career two-goal game, the Flames scored four times in a furious final 20 minutes Saturday night to overcome a 2-0 deficit and win 4-2 over the Edmonton Oilers.It is the league-leading ninth time Calgary has won a game when trailing after two periods. Its also a franchise record.We just knew going into that third period that our third is always our best and we had a chance to win it and we knew those were two big points, said Bouma. Weve done it a lot this year and we definitely have the belief in here going into the third period, whether were down by three or down by two, that we can come back in the game.Adding to the drama, the Flames had been shutout in its previous five periods.Guys never quit. As soon as we got one, there was electricity on the bench and guys were moving, said Calgary coach Bob Hartley. Guys show confidence. Were not scared of being down in the score, it doesnt rattle us. We find a way to get those big wins.Calgary has scored 62 third period goals, which also leads the NHL. The 32 goals against is also No. 1 in the league.Paul Byron got the comeback started after deflecting in Mason Raymonds shot at 2:56 for his first goal in 29 games.The sell-out Scotiabank Saddledome crowd of 19,289 then erupted when Bouma tied it 2-2 at 6:16, snapping a shot through the pads of Ben Scrivens.The go-ahead goal came 2:33 after that on a power play. Sean Monahan tried to centre a pass but instead the puck deflected past Scrivens off the skate of Oilers defenceman Keith Aulie.It was the team-leading 16th goal for the 20-year-old sophomore. Four have them have been game-winners.We werent ready to play in the third, summed up Scrivens. How many times do we have to go through it before we learn our lesson? Hopefully its this one.Jordan Eberle, who had a goal and an assist, says the team only has itself to blame.It was simple mistakes. We shot ourselves in the foot tonight, said Eberle. We turned a couple pucks over and I mean, its just been kind of the same case. Every guy in the room has done it. Myself, a lot of guys. It seems like every night theres a couple plays that shoot us and thats where we lost.Bouma wrapped up the barrage at 16:27 converting a two-on-one pass from Mikael Backlund.The 24-year-old had a couple chances for the hat-trick when Edmonton pulled the goalie but he couldnt get it in. Edmond Sumner Jersey. wo empty nets. I dont know what happened, probably got a little excited but thats the way it goes, but Ill take the two, said Bouma, who has nine points (two goals, seven assists) in his last nine games. Its always nice to contribute whenever you can. Obviously right now, were rolling and its been a fun go here lately, we just have to keep it going.It was an important victory for Calgary (27-20-3). It moves the club three points up on the Los Angeles Kings, who are chasing the Flames for the second wild card spot in the Western Conference.Benoit Pouliot also scored for Edmonton (13-28-9), who remains second-last in the NHLs overall standings, four points up on Buffalo.I think they came out and played for the win. They went after it and I think obviously we were on our heels too much, just kind of waiting to win. That doesnt work, said Oilers captain Andrew Ference.Jonas Hiller had 17 stops for Calgary to improve his record to 15-14-2 while Scrivens had 29 saves for Edmonton, falling to 9-17-7.Edmonton struck first, opening the scoring at 2:43 on its second shot of the game.Off a faceoff in the Flames end, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins out worked Matt Stajan for the puck, knocking it into the slot where Eberle put a quick shot past Hiller.It was the fifth game in a row Calgary has given up the first goal.Eberle then set up Pouliot at 11:41 for his 11th goal.Going back to New Years Eve, Eberle has 11 points- including seven goals in his last 13 games.Pouliot has been hot also with eight goals in his last dozen games since returning from a broken foot, which sidelined him for 18 games.Notes: The Flames had gone 105:28 without a goal until Byron scored… The Oilers last three-game road winning streak was Mar. 23 to Apr. 1, 2012… Jiri Hudler (ill), tied for the Flames lead in point, did not play. In his spot, 25-year-old David Wolf made his NHL debut. However, Wolf (lower body) left the game in the third period and didnt return… Aulie played for the first time since taking a match penalty on New Years Eve for a hit on Flames C Matt Stajan. Suspended two games for the incident, hes been a healthy scratch since but drew in Saturday for injured D Nikita Nikitin (shoulder). ‚ ‚ ‚
