Leicestershire 207 for 3 (Pettini 76, Delport 68) beat Lancashire 198 for 4 (Petersen 103*) by nine runsScorecard Leicestershires record T20 score at Grace Road proved only just enough to beat Lancashire Lightning, despite Alviro Petersens superb unbeaten century for the champions.So the holders, Lancashire, are eliminated, leaving their director of cricket, Ashley Giles, to bemoan: We almost got there thanks to a brilliant century from Alviro, but we were always behind the eight ball, and most of it was our own doing.Were out of the competition now, and its not just down to this game, we havent got it right in a lot of games. When you dont string two wins together, youre always going to struggle to qualify.Weve consistently lost our way in games. Their score was above par, and that Alviro played so well, and it still wasnt enough, is a pretty big indication they got too much.Leicestershires total, after being put in by Lancashire, was built on a brutal partnership of 140 between Pettini and Delport for the second wicket, compiled in just 12.1 overs.Mark Cosgrove had gone early, chipping a simple catch to Jordan Clark at mid-on off the bowling of former Leicestershire seamer Nathan Buck, but the South African Delport, whose form had been inconsistent since he joined the Foxes for the second half of the T20 season, quickly showed he was determined to make an impression in Leicestershires final home group game.George Edwards was the first to suffer, with the last two balls of his first over hit high over wide mid-wicket and then long-on. Jordan Clark, dropping short, was pulled high over square leg and across Milligan Road.Pettini, wristier and rather less elegant , was nonetheless almost as effective, depositing Stephen Parrys left-arm spin into the Bennett End car park, one of four sixes hit by the former Essex batsman. Delport had hit six maximums in going to 68 off just 35 balls when he top-edged the 36th high to extra cover off Edwards.Pettini followed, leg before to Clark for 76 from 51 balls, but Farhaan Behardien and Lewis Hill ensured Leicestershire reached their record T20 score at the Fischer County Ground, Grace Road.Lancashire quickly lost Luis Reece, bowled hitting across the line at Richard Jones, and when they lost Karl Brown, who sliced off-spinner Rob Sayers first ball high to long-off, and then Liam Livingstone, who nicked a Jones out-swinger to wicket-keeper Hill to leave them on 59 for 3, it looked as though the chase might peter out quickly.Petersen, however, found solid support from captain Steven Croft, and though always slightly behind the required rate, the pair kept Lightning in the hunt in compiling a partnership of 66.Croft smeared a Sayer full toss to midwicket, and Leicestershire seamer Clint McKay - who bowls the best slower ball in T20 cricket, conceded just ten runs from his final two overs, the 17th and 19th of the Lancashire innings, leaving Petersen just too much to do, though he hit the final ball of the innings for four to go his century, his first in T20 cricket.

TORONTO -- A franchise-best 14th straight win sure didnt come easy for the Cleveland Indians.Carlos Santana homered in the 19th inning off infielder Darwin Barney and the Indians beat the Toronto Blue Jays 2-1 on Friday.I guess if youre going to set a record, you might as well do it the hard way, Indians pitcher Trevor Bauer said.Cleveland won 13 straight in 1942 and again in 1951.Its the longest winning streak since Atlanta won 14 straight in 2013, and the longest by an AL team since Oakland won 20 in a row in 2002.Santana doubled and scored in the third as the surging Indians survived a marathon game and disappointed a sellout crowd that came for a Canada Day matinee that lasted 6 hours and 13 minutes, featured 19 pitchers and saw 34 left on base.The 19 innings matched the longest game in Blue Jays history. Toronto played 19 against Detroit in August 2014.Having used seven of their eight relievers, the Indians turned to Bauer, Saturdays scheduled starter, in the 15th. Bauer (7-2) worked five innings for the win.I thought what Trevor did was above and beyond, Indians manager Terry Francona said.Only closer Cody Allen, who was unavailable after working the previous three games, did not pitch for Cleveland.After seven Blue Jays relievers combined to pitch 10 1/3 scoreless innings, Toronto turned to infielder Ryan Goins in the 18th.Jose Ramirez and Lonnie Chisenhall began the inning with singles, but Ramirez was caught in a rundown on Michael Martinezs fielders choice grounder. After intentionally walking Tyler Naquin, Goins got out of the bases-loaded jam by getting Chris Gimenez to ground into a double play.Barney, who started the game at second base, replaced Goins in the 19th. The infielders became the ninth and 10th position players to pitch for Toronto.Thats a weird game, Francona said. Shoot, theyre matching up with infielders.Santana greeted Barney (0-1) with a drive to right-center, his 17th.The Blue Jays loaded the bases with two outs in the 14th but Joba Chamberlain got reigning AL MVP Josh Donaldson to ground out.Donaldson nearly tied it in the 19th but his drive to right was caught on the warning track.dddddddddddd thought he hit it out for sure, Bauer said. He hit it and I was like `Youve got to be kidding me.Torontos only run came in the sixth when Justin Smoak snapped an 0-for-18 slump by homering off Cleveland starter Josh Tomlin. It was the eighth of the season for Smoak and the 100th of his career.The Blue Jays lost major league RBI leader Edwin Encarnacion when he was ejected for arguing after being called out on strikes to end the first inning. Manager John Gibbons was also ejected.All three Blue Jays batters were called out on strikes in the first, with Encarnacion livid after being rung up on a 3-2 pitch that looked outside.Encarnacion made contact with home plate umpire Vic Carapazzas left shoulder after being ejected. Gibbons rushed out to break up the argument and was also tossed.Catcher Russell Martin was ejected by Carapazza after striking out to end the 13th. A fuming Martin had to be restrained by bench coach DeMarlo Hale and third base coach Luis Rivera as he screamed at Carapazza.He just wasnt very good today, Martin said of Carapazza. All the things that everybody in the ballpark were thinking, I didnt say that. I felt like he really didnt have to throw me out.Clevelands Jason Kipnis extended his hitting streak to 13 games with an RBI single off Marcus Stroman in the third.UNEXPECTED EFFORTExpected to start Saturday, Bauer he threw what he called a fairly intense bullpen and lifted weights Thursday, then lifted again before Fridays game. Physically, Im exhausted, he said.TRAINERS ROOMBlue Jays: OF Jose Bautista (left big toe) is not expected to return before the All-Star break, Gibbons said. Bautista was injured June 16 at Philadelphia.UP NEXTIndians: Clevelands starter for Saturday is unknown after Bauer was used in relief. Were working through that right now, Francona said afterward. Weve got some things weve got to talk through.Blue Jays: RHP Marco Estrada (5-3, 2.81) has allowed at least one home run in each of his past five starts. ' ' '
