While the Magic sat on six wins.Despite a fast start the Mystics were soon blown away by the hard hitting Magic, whos domination in the first and last quarter sealed their finals place.Magic centre Courtney Tairi was seen all over the court as she combined with Ellen Halpenny to bring the ball down to her shooters, while her defensive play throughout the match proved pivotal for the side.Magics attack end were like a well-oiled machine from the get go as they worked the ball around the third and never rushed to send into the circle. But the same couldnt be said for the Mystics.Mystics shooter Catherine Tuivaiti was under constant pressure under the post, while attack Maria Tutaia struggled to find space and move into the circle.The Magic took a strong 17-10 lead into the first quarter, and while the Mystics brought in huge changes for the second quarter, they were unable to crack the Magics strong combinations.Anna Harrison made an impact from wing defence to stem the Magics flow but a standout effort from defender Kristiana Manua ensured Magic retained the upper hand.

However, the third stanza went the same way as the second, the visitors unable to make inroads as the quarter went on to be drawn.With Grace Rasmussen controlling proceedings on attack, the composure and variety provided by the Magic proved crucial along with the high level of accuracy from Harten and Halpenny.

Freeman hit a three-run homer, Jason Heyward had four hits and the Braves beat the Miami Marlins 9-4 on Sunday. The Braves took two of three in the series. Their 14-game winning streak ended in a 1-0 loss to the Marlins on Saturday night. Freeman said it was important to move past the shutout loss.

We wanted to come out here and get some runs on the board early." B.J. Upton drove in the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly and Chris Johnson hit a two-run double in the four-run seventh inning that broke open a tie game. Evan Gattis had three hits, including his run-scoring double in the seventh. Mike Minor (12-5) gave up four runs on six hits and one walk in seven innings, ended a streak of six straight starts with no more than two earned runs allowed.

The Texas Rangers began Sundays games second in the majors with 36 come-from-behind wins. "Theres a lot of trust in our guys," Freeman said. "We never panic. We lead the league in coming back. I think thats just a testament to our team." Braves outfielder Justin Upton left the game in the fifth inning with cramping in his left hamstring. Manager Fredi Gonzalez said its the second time this season Upton has had the problem. "Its just a cramp that he gets every once in a while," Gonzalez said. "Weve got to figure out a way to keep him on the field without cramping." The Marlins have lost seven of eight. Right-hander Henderson Alvarez gave up four runs on seven hits and a walk in six innings. "I thought Henderson was good," said Marlins manager Mike Redmond. "We came out and scored those runs early and we couldnt shut them down. ... Thats a tough lineup to plow through." The game was tied at 4 when pinch-hitter Joey Terdoslavich replaced Minor in the seventh. Dan Jennings (1-3) walked Terdoslavich to start the BBraves four-run inning.dddddddddddd Heyward singled and Terdoslavich scored the go-ahead run on a line drive to left field by B.J. Upton off A.J. Ramos. Following Ramos intentional walk to Freeman, Gattis hit a run-scoring double and Johnson drove in two runs with a double over Giancarlo Stanton in right field. Stanton appeared to lose the ball in the sun. "That seventh inning, we just couldnt stop them," Redmond said. "We didnt execute some pitches and theyve got a lot of weapons over there. And as you can see, they have the ability to do some damage with the middle of their order and we couldnt stop them. Couldnt get them out." Justin Upton left the game after running to first base on an unsuccessful sacrifice bunt attempt in the fifth inning. Marlins catcher Koyie Hill threw out Minor, who was not expecting the bunt, at third base as Upton reached on the fielders choice. B.J. Upton replaced his brother as a pinch-runner. Freeman followed with his three-run homer that gave Atlanta a 4-3 lead. Alvarez escaped a bases-loaded jam in the fourth. Freeman led off with a double and moved to third on an infield hit by Gattis.
