New Brunswick, NJ (SportsNetwork.com) - Myles Mack had 21 points, Kadeem Jack scored 20 and Rutgers shocked No. 4 Wisconsin 67-62 on Sunday. It was the first win over a top-five team in Rutgers history. The Scarlet Knights (10-7, 2-2 Big Ten) outscored the short-handed Badgers (15-2, 3-1) by a 44-27 margin in the second half for the programs first win over a ranked team in more than two years. Wisconsin played without leading scorer Frank Kaminsky because of a concussion and finished the game without point guard Traevon Jackson, who appeared to suffer an injury when he landed on Macks foot while trying to block a 3-point shot in the second half. In their absence, Nigel Hayes and Sam Dekker scored 15 points each to lead the Badgers and Bronson Keonig had 12. Mack scored 19 of his 21 points in the second half, knocking down four of his six 3-point attempts. All four came in the first 7:41 of the half, helping the Scarlet Knights trim a 13-point deficit eventually to one. They got it going with the 3s, said Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan. Theres no question when Mack hit that string there it energized them. I think they fed off that. Macks free throws with 7:19 remaining gave the Scarlet Knights their first lead, and they remained in front the rest of the way, going up by as many as seven. Before Sunday, the highest-ranked team Rutgers had ever beaten was No. 6 West Virginia on Feb. 27, 1982. Weve suffered, said Rutgers coach Eddie Jordan, whose team shot better than 66 percent in the second half, and Im just happy for everybody. The Badgers shot 37.5 percent in second half and had an eight-game winning streak snapped since losing to Duke on Dec. 3.

The first baseman hit a two-run homer in the top of the ninth inning to lead the Mets to a thrilling come-from-behind 3-2 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers. The Mets trailed 2-0 entering the ninth inning, but Daniel Murphy led off with a double off closer Francisco Rodriguez (4-4), who blew his fourth save of the season. David Wright followed with an RBI single. Duda hit the first pitch he saw from Rodriguez into the Mets bullpen in right field. It was his career-high 17th home run of the season and his third in the last four games. "I got a fastball and I was able to put the barrel of the bat on it," he said. "It was a pretty special moment. I am glad I was able to help pick up the team and get this win." The Mets were still in the game thanks to a very good pitching performance by Zach Wheeler, who gave up only one hit through six innings before tiring in the seventh. He pitched 6 2-3 innings, giving up one earned run and three hits and had nine strikeouts. Wheeler said he "was effectively wild throughout the game." "It worked to my advantage this time," he said. "I felt good out there and was able to make key pitches to get some outs." Mets manager Terry Collins was glad his team could come back and make sure Wheeler did not get the loss. "That was an outstanding performance by Wheeler," Collins said. "He can go home and know that he did his job tonight." Collins said he was particularly pleased to see the hitting performances of Murphy, who had three hits, Wright, who had the single, and Duda. "When those three guys are hitting, we are going to win games," he said. Carlos Torres (5-4) pitched the eighth inning to get the win. Jenrry Mejia gave up a leadoff walk to pinch-hitter Jonathan Lucroy, but got the next three outs to record his 14th save in 16 chances. The loss broke the Brewers four-game winning streak. Rodriguez saidd it was a frustrating performance.ddddddddddddThe Brewers are 48-2 when leading after eight innings. "They come out swinging and everything was up out over the plate," he said. "Fortunately, its not my first rodeo. Not going to be the first one, wont be the last one. Thats the reality." The home run spoiled a sparkling performance by Brewers pitcher Yovani Gallardo, who allowed four hits over 7 2-3 innings. Gallardo, who has not won since June 19, retired 12 of the last 13 batters he faced. With two outs in the eighth inning, pinch-hitter Eric Campbell was called out on a groundball, but the call was overturned after a replay review. Will Smith relieved Gallardo and struck out Curtis Granderson to end the inning. "I think I was able to keep the ball down, both sides of the plate," Gallardo said. "I had a pretty good curveball (and) was able to throw it for strikes." Milwaukee took a 1-0 lead in the sixth without a hit. Rickie Weeks walked and Ryan Braun hit a groundball that went through the legs of Murphy at second base for his second error of the game. Aramais Ramirez grounded to shortstop Rueben Tejada, who got the out at second, but Ramirez beat Murphys throw to first and Weeks scored. Carlos Gomez hit his 15th home run of the season with two outs in the seventh to boost Milwaukees lead to 2-0. NOTES: Mets RHP Daisuke Matsuzaka returned to New York on Friday to have a doctor examine his right elbow.
