American light flyweight Nico Hernandez, a 20-year-old from Wichita, Kansas, clinched at least a bronze medal Wednesday with his unanimous three-round decision victory against Ecuadors Carlos Eduardo Quipo Palaxti in the quarterfinals at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics.Hernandez is the first American male boxer to claim an Olympic medal since heavyweight Deontay Wilder received a bronze at the 2008 Games in Beijing.The 2012 mens boxing team did not win a single medal for the first time in history, a shock, considering Team USA had won a total of 110 medals, the most of any nation, including 49 golds.It feels good knowing we didnt medal at the last Olympics, Hernandez said. That gave me and my team a lot of motivation. Weve all been together since we were younger on the junior team and the U.S. team, so at practice we push each other. It means a lot to me coming here and getting the job done.I know [a U.S. medal] is real important for my coaches and USA Boxing and also for me and my family back at home. Im just real glad because I worked a long time for this.Hernandez will face Hasanboy Dusmatov of Uzbekistan in the semifinals Friday with a chance to claim at least a silver medal. There are two bronze medals awarded in boxing, so he and Dusmatov are both guaranteed a medal.Hernandez is the first American light flyweight to win a medal since Michael Carbajal, who went on to have a Hall of Fame professional career, claimed silver in the 1988 Olympics in Seoul.Hernandez, who is 3-0 so far in Rio, advanced to the quarterfinals Monday with an upset over Russias Vasilii Egorov, the No. 2 seed in the weight class.On Wednesday, Hernandez, with father Lewis and mother Chello in attendance, edged the first round and then looked very strong in the second round. The third round was another close one, but he won it on all three scorecards to get the 29-28 decision from the judges.[The fight] was a little difficult, but I know as I go along the fights will get harder, Hernandez said. As long as I listen to my coaches and do what they say, I know they wont lead me in the wrong direction. [Going into the third round] they told me it was close. They told me the first round was close. I knew I took the second round. So they told me I needed that third round to win, so I went out there and executed the plan and got the win.They told me not to rush him, use the feints and let him come in, pick my uppercuts and stay on the outside. Thats what I did and it worked.While Hernandez was happy to win a medal, he said he wants more than a bronze.Im definitely excited about getting to this level and where Im at, but Im not satisfied with a bronze medal, he said. I came here to get gold so thats what I am going to continue to work towards. I dont want to lose in front of my parents. Ill be satisfied once I get the gold.Air Max 97 Korting . -- The proud fathers huddled near the Dallas Stars dressing room, smiling, laughing and telling stories while wearing replica green sweaters of their sons team.

And the way he figures it, the Milwaukee Brewers deserved it.Gennett and Jonathan Villar each hit a two-run single in a five-run eighth inning that sent Milwaukee to a 9-4 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks.With the score tied at 4, the Brewers batted around and broke the game open on three hits and four walks against Arizonas bullpen.Hernan Perez singled up the middle off reliever Daniel Hudson (1-2) to start the eighth, and Ryan Braun walked. With one out, Chris Carter walked to load the bases for Gennett, who blooped the tiebreaking single over second base.Its a crazy game, Gennett said. Sometimes you can do everything right and fail. Sometimes you can get jammed by 97 (mph) and everything works out. Its a crazy game and its about time that things start working in our favor, though.Second baseman Phil Gosselin made a diving attempt at the ball, but it just eluded his reach.For a while there, we couldnt catch a break, hitting balls hard right at people in big situations, Gennett said. And now, were getting those hits. Were finding holes. Its been fun, lately.The good times continued for Milwaukee, too.Zac Curtis came on and struck out pinch-hitter Andy Wilkins, but walked Keon Broxton and Kirk Nieuwenhuis to force in another run.The walks are tough to stomach, Diamondbacks manager Chip Hale said.

We had a good part of the order coming up in the top of the ninth. We just need to get there.Milwaukee chased Patrick Corbin in the sixth and went ahead 4-3. Braun singled, extending his hitting streak to 11 games, and Jonathan Lucroy walked.dddddddddddd Enrique Burgos came on and got Carter to hit into a double play. Braun scored on Gennetts single off the glove of shortstop Jean Segura.With Corbin throwing so many pitches (40) in the first inning, he did an unbelievable job to get to the sixth, Hale said.Corbin hasnt won since June 21, a stretch of six starts.The Diamondbacks tied it at 3 in the fourth on Bourns fielders choice with the bases loaded.Carter, who got Monday night off to regroup after going 1 for 18, singled in the Brewers first run in the first inning.
