GREENWOOD, Ind. -- Wayne Williams kept a pledge he and his father made to each other and shared a moment theyd both been waiting for all their lives.The North Carolina man drove to his fathers gravesite in Indiana to listen to the Chicago Cubs win Game 7 of the World Series. Wearing a Joe Maddon replica jersey and a Cubs cap hed recently purchased, Williams listened to the Cubs 10-inning, 8-7 victory over the Cleveland Indians on his smartphone Wednesday night at his fathers grave in the military section of Greenwood Forest Lawn Cemetery in suburban Indianapolis.Williams told WTHR-TV (http://bit.ly/2fHsbEm ) he and his father had a pact: When the Cubs got into the World Series again, they would listen to the games together.His father, also named Wayne Williams, was a Navy veteran. He died of cancer in 1980 at age 53. Williams said he knew on Sunday night what he would have to do if the Cubs kept their title hopes alive.If they win tomorrow, I have to be heading out the next morning, he said, noting that his wife supported it fully.The 68-year-old retired customer trainer said unlit roads made the trip a little difficult. He also said trying to get to his fathers gravesite required as few stops as possible if he was to make it by the first pitch.Cemetery workers kept the gates open for Williams, who was greeted by TV news crews as he took his spot and tuned in.As Williams listened, he said his wife sent text messages saying, Theyre killing me. Theyre killing me.Finally, after 10 innings and a rain delay, the Cubs rallied to take the lead and held off the last bid for a Cleveland rally. Williams, a Cubs W flag draped on his fold-out chair, said his celebration was subdued.I just kind of said `We did it, like I had anything to do with it, he said. I know how much he would have enjoyed it.As he headed back to his home in Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina, Williams said he would watch a recording of the game.

With the short-handed Warriors needing help from someone -- anyone -- to stop a three-game skid, ONeal returned from right knee and groin injuries that had sidelined him for four games and put up season highs with 18 points and eight rebounds. It was just enough to help lift Golden State to a 102-101 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night. Scott McLaughlin is used to being in demand but, during the Supercars meet at Pukekohe this weekend, his popularity will be off the charts.Among fans, along the grid and pit lane, McLaughlin is well liked.His appeal extends to team owners.Current boss Garry Rogers tried hard to keep the 23-year-old for another year but McLaughlin accepted a multi-million-dollar deal to join Roger Penskes emerging powerhouse garage.And theres plenty of love for the Volvo driver in the stands and on the hills - and nowhere more so than his native New Zealand, and perhaps no time more than this weekend.McLaughlin is the chief threat to Triple Eights dominance of the series, sitting in fourth place behind championship leader Shane van Gisbergen, Jamie Whincup and Craig Lowndes.I can really upset their party - their 1-2-3, he laughed.In truth, the happy-go-lucky Christchurch native is too much of a nice guy to ruin anyones day.Van Gisbergen will enjoy huge support of his own, too, given hes a chance - albeit a slim one this weekend on home soil - to become the first New Zealander to win the Supercars championship in 25 years.With a maximum of 600 points left to win at Pukekohe and Homebush in Sydney, the Aucklander is in a commanding position, 148 points ahead of Whincup and 385 clear of Lowndes.ddddddddddddMcLaughlin said it added up to a win-win for the local crowds.Im not out to spoil Shane. Hes got his own thing to worry about and Ive got my own thing, he said.Everythings good for New Zealanders; theyve got plenty to pick from.They can cheer for me or someone else - Shane, Fabian (Coulthard), whoever - any time they can get a New Zealander to win, its pretty good.McLaughlin is 461 points off the mark, meaning his best hope would be to make ground on Lowndes to cement the best overall finish of his career and for his team.Weve got on top of the car as the seasons gone on, he said.Weve been pretty consistent and still been running top six or seven which isnt too bad at all.But the competition is tough. We hit a really good spot at Surfers Paradise and, if we keep it in that range, we can go well at Pukekohe. ' ' '
