NEW YORK (AP) — The Kansas City Royals have a three-games-to-one lead in the World Series after rallying for three runs in the eighth inning to beat the Mets 5-3 in New York.

DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — The best finish on Saturday’s top-25 schedule occurred at Duke as Corn Elder took Miami’s eighth lateral of a wild final kickoff return and brought it back 75 yards for a touchdown to give the Hurricanes a 30-27 victory over No. 22 Blue Devils. Thomas Sirk seemingly had given the Blue Devils the win by scoring on a sneak with 6 seconds left. But in a final sequence reminiscent of California’s unforgettable run through the Stanford band, Elder caught the last of eight laterals, and zigged and zagged through the Duke coverage team for the score.
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — No 3 Clemson was the highest-ranked team in action on Saturday, and Deshaun Watson accounted for six touchdowns to help the Blue Devils pull away in a 56-41 win over the Wolfpack.

Wayne Gallman ran for 172 yards and a touchdown for the Tigers, who gained 623 total yards and pulled away after leading just 16-13 in the second quarter.

Powell tied a school record with five field goals in the game despite rainy, windy conditions.Quarterback Kevin Hogan ran for 112 yards and two touchdowns for Stanford (7-1, 6-0 Pac-12), which is the only undefeated team in Pac-12 play.

UNDATED (AP) — Ohio State quarterback J.T. Barrett has been suspended for the top-ranked Buckeyes’ next game after being cited with a misdemeanor offense of operating a vehicle under the influence.

The Iowa State Patrol says a woman walking onto a roadway late Saturday night after leaving a convenience store in Shenandoah, was struck by a pickup truck. 61-year old Carol Jean Teebo, of Red Oak, suffered serious head injuries and was transported by Shenandoah EMS to the Shenandoah Hospital and later flown to Omaha by LifeNet helicopter.
The patrol says a 2002 GMC Sierra K2500 pickup driven by 36-year old Ethan Benjamin Johnson, of Shenandoah, was making a left turn from W. Thomas Avenue onto S. Sycamore Street just after 11-p.m., when Teebo left a Casey’s store and walked onto the roadway before she was hit.

JOHNSTON, Iowa (AP) — An Iowa school official says a school bus driver accused of hitting a 15-year-old student after the boy apparently refused to heed his seat assignment instructions had worked for the district fewer than three months.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) —Texas Senator Ted Cruz had a group of Iowa conservatives applauding and waving campaign signs as he railed against a common adversary. But it wasn’t one of his Republican rivals for president, or even Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton. Instead he was talking about Wednesday’s CNBC debate moderators. Cruz told about 1,000 Iowa Republicans in Des Moines Saturday that conservative talk radio hosts like Sean Hannity should moderate the next Republican presidential debate.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Marco Rubio continues to poke at Jeb Bush during an Iowa Republican forum, as the rivalry between the two Florida Republicans intensifies.

Lanning, a sophomore who replaced senior Sam Richardson, struggled at times with his passing but did enough with his feet for the Cyclones (3-5, 2-3 Big 12) to break a three-game losing streak.
He led a 66-yard scoring drive that gave the Cyclones a quick early lead and floated a perfectly thrown pass to Dondre Daley in the left corner of the end zone to make it 17-0 in the third quarter. Texas (3-5, 2-3) had upset Oklahoma and dominated Kansas State in its two previous outings with an improved running game. But the Longhorns struggled to get anything going in this one and never advanced past the Iowa State 47 until the final 90 seconds.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Firefighters in Iowa City have quickly extinguished a fire in a high-rise dorm in the University of Iowa campus in Iowa City. Department officials say the fire was reported just before 1:30 a.m. Saturday on the ninth floor of Slater Residence Hall. Everyone in the dorm made it out safely before firefighters arrived.
Fire officials say the fire was contained to one dorm room and was extinguished within six minutes of firefighters’ arrival. No injuries were reported.

Investigators are still trying to determine the cause of the fire.
