However, Haase fought back again in the fourth, racing

OSTRAVA, Czech Republic -- The Czech Republic levelled its Davis Cup World Group tie with the Netherlands at 1-1 on Friday after Tomas Berdych swept aside Igor Sijsling in the opening singles. Berdych, an Australian Open semifinalist, dominated throughout as he cruised to a 6-3, 6-3, 6-0 victory for the defending champions in the first round matchup. Never facing a break point, the seventh-ranked Berdych broke Sijsling early in each set and secured one break in the first set, two in the second and three in the third before converting his first match point with a powerful forehand winner. "I tried to go on attack," Berdych said. "Im glad that I got rid of the fatigue (from the Australian Open). I felt really good on the court and played accordingly." Earlier, Robin Haase rallied to beat Radek Stepanek in five sets and give the Netherlands a 1-0 lead. The 46th-ranked Haase won the hard fought contest 3-6, 6-4, 6-7 (4), 6-2, 6-1 in 3 hours and 39 minutes on an indoor hard court at CEZ Arena. Berdych and Stepanek are expected to team up for Saturdays doubles, and could face Thiemo de Bakker and Jean-Julien Rojer. Haase broke Stepanek for a 3-1 lead in the final set and did the same in the sixth game before serving out, converting his first match-point with a forehand winner. "I felt good," Haase said. "He had many break points but in the end I always played good. I served well and played some unbelievable points. Maybe I was a little bit more lucky in that today but Im happy, of course." Stepanek took advantage of only three of his 18 break-point opportunities while Haase posted 14 aces and hit 62 winners to Stepaneks 43. The winner of the best-of-five series will face either Canada or Japan in the quarterfinals in April. The 50th-ranked Stepanek took the first set after securing break points in the seventh and ninth games but allowed his 46th-ranked opponent to come back in the second set. Haase broke him in the ninth game with a precise passing forehand down the line. In the third set, Stepanek wasted four break points in the eighth game that would have had him serving for the set with a 5-3 lead. He also failed to convert three set points in the 12th game before prevailing in the tiebreak with his typical attacking play. However, Haase fought back again in the fourth, racing into a 3-0 lead before converting his second set point and then going on to seal the final set. Authentic San Francisco 49ers Jerseys .

Parmelee hit a game-ending shot in the ninth inning and the Minnesota Twins overcame David Ortizs big night to beat the Boston Red Sox 8-6 on Tuesday.Cheney, WA (SportsNetwork.com) - Some offenses will scale down their approach when the backup quarterback replaces the starting quarterback because of injury. Eastern Washington coach Beau Baldwin doesnt plan that approach with little- used Jordan West, who is replacing the Big Sky Conferences most dominant player, Vernon Adams Jr., after the 2013 Walter Payton Award runner-up suffered a broken right foot against Idaho State last Saturday. He is expected to be sidelined for 3-6 weeks. I dont like using the term manage a game when it comes to the quarterback position, Baldwin said Wednesday. I like to use the term go out and be great. Adams has been great for three seasons. Now second-ranked Eastern Washington (5-1) has gone to West, beginning with Saturdays vist to Southern Utah, the last Big Sky team to beat the Eagles two years ago. West is a 6-foot-4, 220-pound redshirt sophomore out of Maple Valley, Washington. He did not play inn any games last season, but has appeared in three this season, completing 7-of-11 pass attempts for 62 yards as well as one touchdown in the opening win over Sam Houston State.dddddddddddd He lost a fumble on his only rushing attempt. Jordan has a little more I think athleticism than some guys his size, Baldwin said. Hes a 6-4 guy but can get out and move. We even were joking that straight-ahead speed hes faster than Vernon. Weve had arguments in our quarterback room - Vernon doesnt necessarily agree - but hes got some abilities outside of just being a 6-4, tall guy with a live arm. Youre out there to make plays within our offense. Were going to stay attacking, were going to keep that mentality. Thats not going to change no matter who it is. Eastern Washington is part of a three-way share of first place at 2-0 in Big Sky games. Southern Utah, an FCS playoff team last season, is 1-5 overall and 1-1 in the conference.
