A hat trick of stunning headers from Salomon Rondon earned West Bromwich Albion a 3-1 win over Swansea City at The Hawthorns on Wednesday. Dani Ceballos Jersey .The Venezuelan frontman nodded in three times in less than 15 minutes at the start of the second half to put Tony Pulis men in control after a dismal first period.Wayne Routledge pulled one back for the visitors late, but it wasnt enough to stop all three points from staying in the Midlands.Both teams struggled to settle into the match early on and it took over half an hour for there to be any real goalmouth action. Nacer Chadli, on his return to the Baggies side, slid in Rondon after 37 minutes, but the frontmans effort was met by a spread-eagle Lukasz Fabianski.The hosts nearly fell behind just before the interval when Chris Brunt reacted too slowly to a Neil Taylor cross and nearly directed the ball into the back of his own net.Pulis must have given his team a rocket at the break because they immediately came out firing at the interval -- particularly Rondon.His first came on 50 minutes when he lost his marker to bullet a header past Fabianski from eight yards after getting onto the end of a Matt Phillips free-kick.Twelve minutes later he doubled his account; Brunt swept in a delightful cross from the left and Rondon met it at the back post, heading back across goal to put West Brom two up.And he completed his hat trick only two minutes afterwards in a carbon copy of his second, Brunt caressing a delivery in from the touchline and the ex-Zenit man powering a header into the top right-hand corner.Swansea reduced the deficit to two with 10 minutes to go as Routledge scruffily bundled in after Borja Bastons shot had been stopped by Ben Foster.But, despite a late opportunity for Baston and a point-blank save from Foster to stop a possible Gareth McAuley own goal, West Brom deservedly held on to go seventh in the Premier League. Borja Mayoral Jersey . -- James Young couldnt wait to apply those tweaks to his jump shot, and the first one he made against UT Arlington told him it could be a good night. Marco Asensio Real Madrid Jersey .com) - Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray and Roger Federer were easy first-round winners Tuesday at the Australian Open. http:///...-Real-Madrid-Jersey/ . The (11-11-4) Jets are seventh in the Central Division with 26 points. Fifth place Dallas and sixth-seeded Nashville also have 26 points, but the Stars have three games in hand on Winnipeg while Nashville has two.NEW YORK -- Cliff Pennington hit an RBI single with two outs in the 15th inning and the Arizona Diamondbacks, boosted early by Gerardo Parras bunt double, finally outlasted the New York Mets 5-4 in a back-and-forth classic Thursday to split an exhausting series at Citi Field. Arizona scored in the final three innings but couldnt close out the feisty Mets until Brad Ziegler retired Kirk Nieuwenhuis on an easy grounder with runners at second and third to end a game that lasted 5 hours, 46 minutes. Anthony Recker and Nieuwenhuis hit tying homers in consecutive extra innings for New York, which dropped its final home appearance before hosting the All-Star game July 16. In a span of four days, the teams played a 13-inning game, a 15-inning marathon and two others delayed by rain for a total of 3 1/2 hours. So it was only fitting that the finale went on and on throughout a humid afternoon as kids who lined up beyond the outfield wall in the eighth inning waited patiently to run the bases after the final out. Cody Ross drew a bases-loaded walk from New York reliever David Aardsma in the 13th, but the Diamondbacks squandered a great chance to add on. And of course, with two outs in the bottom half, Recker homered off ex-Met Heath Bell to tie it again. Arizona pushed across another run in the 14th on Martin Prados third hit, a bloop RBI single with two outs off Brandon Lyon. Moments later, Nieuwenhuis sent a one-out liner barely over the left-centre fence off Chaz Roe (1-0), who made his major league debut in the series opener Monday. Recker, who caught the entire game, and Nieuwenhuis were both batting .167 when they connected. Scott Rice (3-5) retired his first two batters in the 15th before Parra singled, Wil Nieves singled for his fourth hit and Pennington lined a single to left to make it 5-4. Ziegler walked two in the bottom half but hung on for his first save since 2011 with Oakland. And at last, it was over. The Mets are no stranger to long games -- especially on July 4. They lost a 20-inning marathon at home to Miami last month, won a 20-inning game in St. Louis three years ago and came out on top in an Independence Day thriller at Atlanta in 1985. That rain-delayed 16-13 victory is remembered best for Braves pitcher Rick Camps tying homer with two outs in the 18th and later the postgame fireworks that went off -- around 4 a.m. By pulling out this test of endurance, the NL West-leading Diamondbacks finished 3-7 on a long road trip aggainst three NL East teams. Luka Modric Jersey. Wearing alternate caps on the Fourth of July, the teams were back at it in 87-degree heat and humidity less than 13 hours after their rain-delayed game ended Wednesday night. Arizona put the leadoff batter on six times in the first eight innings but managed only Nieves two-run single in the fifth. Mets starter Dillon Gee and counterpart Ian Kennedy, who matched a season high with eight strikeouts, kept the sluggish offences in check for seven innings each. Kennedy, making his seventh consecutive start on the road, won his previous four outings against New York. He is winless in five starts overall since beating the Cubs on June 1 at Wrigley Field. This was his second time out since serving a 10-game suspension for his role in the June 11 brawl at Dodger Stadium. Gee, who entered with a .126 career batting average, lashed a two-out RBI single that tied it 2-all in the fifth. Omar Quintanilla scored after a one-out double. Ross drew a leadoff walk from Gee in the fifth and Parra dragged a hard bunt through the right side. With second baseman Daniel Murphy cheating toward the middle and first baseman Josh Satin breaking back to the bag, the ball rolled into shallow right field before Murphy could retrieve it. Ross scampered to third and Parra slid into second easily with a double. Nieves smacked the next pitch past shortstop for a two-run single. David Wright doubled in the Mets fourth and advanced on Kennedys wild pitch before scoring on an RBI groundout by Marlon Byrd. NOTES: Arizona will recall top prospect Tyler Skaggs from Triple-A Reno to start Friday night against Colorado in place of injured RHP Trevor Cahill (bruised right hip). The 21-year-old lefty went 1-1 with a 5.40 ERA in three starts for the Diamondbacks earlier this season. He was optioned to Reno on June 10. "He went back down there and got some more starts. Hell have a better understanding of what hes up against," manager Kirk Gibson said. ... Parra returned to the lineup in RF after sitting out two games. He was shaken up trying to make a diving catch on the warning track Monday, leaving him with scrapes and bruises on his face and arm. ... RHP Zack Wheeler (1-1, 5.06 ERA) makes his fourth major league start when the Mets open a nine-game road trip Friday night in Milwaukee. ... Mets pinch-hitter John Buck was ejected in the 12th by first base umpire Mike Everitt for protesting a checked-swing third strike.
