CEDAR PARK, Texas -- With a two-goal lead early in the second period, Toronto Marlies coach Steve Spott knew the Texas Stars would make a surge in Game 7 of the Western Conference Finals. Unfortunately for Toronto, that surge was too much to handle as the Stars scored six straight goals and ended the Marlies season with a 6-2 victory on Tuesday. Toronto had built a 2-0 lead on goals by Frazer McLaren and Peter Holland, but Texas charged back with a wild rally late in the second period to spark its trip to the Calder Cup final. "Two mistakes, first we made a bad line change then we took a bad penalty 200-feet from Drew (MacIntyre), and all of sudden its 2-2," Spott said. "Theyre a good team, give them credit, but we made some bad mistakes." After killing off a hooking penalty by Patrik Nemeth, Texas scored on its 26th shot of the game when Mike Hedden tipped home a pass from Ritchie with 2:38 left in the period. Less than a minute later Texas tied the game when Jeffrey scored on the power play. It gave Texas goals on back-to-back shots after Drew MacIntyre had stopped the first 25. Tied 2-2 after the second period, Brett Ritchie and Matej Stransky scored 17 seconds apart to give the Stars a 4-2 lead. Justin Dowling gave the Stars another insurance goal with 5:28 remaining, while Dustin Jeffrey scored his second goal of the night into an empty net. It was Dowlings first game of the series after suffering an arm injury against the Grand Rapids Griffins in Game 5 of the second round. Reunited on a line with Hedden and Ritchie, he was on the ice for four of the Stars goals. "I wasnt expecting to play tonight," Dowling said. "Things kind of just unfolded how they did. I benefited a lot from going to Dallas and getting their treatment from their guys up there a Im very grateful to be back." MacIntyre stopped 44-of-49 shots for Toronto and was under siege for most of the night. Cristopher Nilstorp stopped 24-of-26 shots for Texas. His biggest stop came midway through the second period when he stopped Brandon Kozun with the left pad, turning away a flurry by the Marlies and allowed Texas to tie the game later in the frame. "Oh, that was a big save," Stars coach Willie Desjardins. "I thought that was going (in). He made some real good saves a Nilstorp was real solid throughout the series and there were a couple games where he stopped it from getting away on us." Before jostling with the Stars for seven games, the Marlies had rolled through the first two rounds of the playoffs. After the loss on Tuesday, Spott took a moment to look at the future for his young team. "Next year our plan is to take this another step farther," Spott said. "The frustrating thing is we were in a good spot here tonight up 2-0. We just had a couple mental mistakes that cost us." Texas will play the St. Johns IceCaps in the Calder Cup final. Game 1 will be Sunday night in Texas. Junichi Tazawa Red Sox Jersey . The above paragraph could be rewritten, verbatim, with Marcus Stromans name in place of Romeros.

Duda homered twice, drove in a career-high five runs and was involved in the New York Mets first triple play in over four seasons, allowing Colon to breeze to an 11-3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Sunday. "Im sure Bartolo had other things on his mind than baseball, obviously with his situation," Duda said. "We all tried to kind of rally around him and give him as much support as we could. Hes an unbelievable person. And to go out there and do what he did today shows the kind of heart he has." Colon (12-10) gave up two runs and five hits over six innings and struck out five, just six days after his mother Adriana passed away on Monday from breast cancer. After the game, the 41-year-old right-hander returned to the Dominican Republic to attend her funeral. But he told manager Terry Collins hell be back in time to start next Saturday against Philadelphia. "What he did impressed me, but it didnt surprise me," Collins said. "Hes had a tough week. And when he came off after the sixth, I think thats the first time in his career hes ever said: Im done. "He was very bothered by the fact that he needed to get home and that he was going to miss a start, because he knew what it meant to the team," Collins added. "He felt terrible about it, but I said: Look, youve got to do what youve got to do." Colons 92nd and final pitch resulted in the Mets first triple play since May 19, 2010 at Washington. Moments after Adrian Gonzalezs RBI single in the sixth trimmed the Dodgers deficit to 7-2, Matt Kemp hit a sharp grounder in the hole to third baseman Eric Campbell, who threw to second for the force before Daniel Murphy relayed to first. Yasiel Puig tried to score from second, but Travis dArnaud took the throw from Duda and tagged him out. "Hes fast and aggressive, so you have to be aware of that,," Duda said.dddddddddddd Kevin Correia (2-1) lasted only three innings on his 34th birthday, giving up seven runs -- five earned -- and seven hits. Despite the loss, the Dodgers maintained their 4 1-2 game lead on San Francisco in the NL West following the Giants 14-6 defeat at Washington. Duda, Ruben Tejada and dArnaud all homered against the right-hander, who was making his third start since the Dodgers acquired him from Minnesota. Dudas added his 26th of the season in the ninth against Jamey Wright. This was the 10th time in Correias 12-year career that he has allowed three or more homers. "Keeping the ball down isnt always the problem. Its getting it where I want it to go," Correia said.
