Jonah Coleman scored on a 1-yard run with 3:21 remaining as Washington rallied from a 20-point deficit to defeat Maryland 24-20 Saturday in College Park, Md. Demond Williams Jr. completed 28 of 41 passes for 275 yards and two touchdowns and added 57 yards on 18 carries for the Huskies (4-1, 1-1 Big Ten), who scored 21 unanswered points in the fourth quarter. Freshman Malik Washington was 30-of-49 passing for 219 yards with one touchdown and one interception for the Terrapins (4-1, 1-1), who hadn't trailed this season until Coleman's deciding score. The Huskies trailed 20-0 when Grady Gross kicked a 36-yard field goal with 3:44 left in the third quarter. Williams Jr. hit Denzel Boston on a 3-yard slant with 14:23 remaining to cut Maryland's lead to 20-10. After forcing Maryland into a three-and-out, Williams Jr. found Dezmen Roebuck on a 34-yard scoring strike in the back of the end zone with 11:32 left to make it a three-point game. Coleman's TD capped an 11-play, 80-yard drive. Coleman rushed 18 times for 57 yards. Williams Jr. was intercepted by Maryland's Jalen Huskey on the game's opening possession. Huskey picked off the pass at his own 40-yard line and returned it 32 yards. It was the first interception thrown by Williams Jr. this season and he compounded the mistake with a personal foul at the end of the return, giving the Terrapins the ball on Washington's 24-yard line. The Huskies' defense held and Maryland had to settle for Sean O'Haire's 26-yard field goal. After a Huskies punt, Washington drove Maryland 71 yards in 16 plays for a touchdown. Washington scored untouched on a 4-yard run around the left end to make it 10-0. The Terrapins went 5 for 5 on third-down conversions on the possession. The Terrapins also ran 16 plays on their next drive, capped by O'Haire's 29-yard field goal with 4:01 left in the half to make it 13-0. The Huskies, who amassed 167 points in their three nonconference victories, scoring on 21 consecutive possessions, were held scoreless in the first half after failing to reach the end zone in a 24-6 loss to No. 1 Ohio State the previous week. The Terrapins took the second-half kickoff and marched 75 yards in nine plays, with Washington faking a handoff and hitting wide-open tight end AJ Szymanski on a 2-yard pass to make it 20-0. –Field Level Media

DAMASCUS, Oct 5 (Reuters) – Members of Syria's electoral colleges will gather on Sunday to vote for new lawmakers, a milestone in the country's shift away from the ousted regime of Bashar al-Assad and a major test of inclusivity under its current Islamist-led authorities. President Ahmed al-Sharaa, who came to power after his rebel offensive toppled Assad in December, is trying to consolidate his hold over a nation fractured by a 14-year war and bouts of sectarian violence that fueled distrust of him among minorities. The indirect vote will see a combined 6,000 electors cast ballots at regional electoral colleges starting around 9:00 a.m. local (0600 GMT), with polls closing around 5:00 p.m. (1400 GMT). A committee appointed by Sharaa approved 1,570 candidates who showcased their platforms in seminars and debates this week. But public electioneering was muted, with no posters or billboards visible in major cities, Reuters reporters said. Sunday's vote will determine two-thirds of the 210-seat parliament, and results are expected the same night. But the legislature will not be formally established until Sharaa, a former Al Qaeda fighter, selects the remaining third. The authorities say they resorted to this system rather than universal suffrage due to a lack of reliable population data and following the displacement of millions of Syrians by the war. Citing security and political reasons, they postponed the vote in three provinces held by minority groups – leaving 19 seats in parliament empty. Critics have slammed those moves, saying a partial and indirect vote is unrepresentative and too centrally managed. Analysts say Sharaa's selection of 70 lawmakers will ultimately determine the new body's effectiveness and legitimacy: choosing women or minority lawmakers could add diversity, but loyalists could help him to issue laws without a legislative challenge.

MILWAUKEE — Ace right-hander Freddy Peralta shook off a leadoff homer and pitched effectively into the sixth inning to pace the Milwaukee Brewers to a 9-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Saturday in the opener of their best-of- five National League Division Series. Cubs starter Matthew Boyd (0-1) failed to get out of a six-run Milwaukee first inning. The Brewers added three runs in the second, batting around in both innings to go in front 9-1. "We talked during the week, one of the things we made a point of or maybe the main thing we talked about is ‘Promise me you'll be ready the first pitch,'" said Brewers manager Pat Murphy, whose team's first-round bye gave them five days without a game. "When the bell rings, you're ready. You don't get a couple rounds to figure out whether or not you want to fight. Be ready in the first round." Peralta (1-0), who led the National League with 17 victories during the regular season, allowed two runs on four hits in 5 2/3 innings, striking out nine and walking three in a 95-pitch outing. He allowed the opening homer by Michael Busch and a two-out solo homer in the sixth by Ian Happ. "I never want to start the game like that, but that's happened to me many times in my career and I have shown to myself that it doesn't matter," Peralta said. "If I get one or two runs in the first inning, it doesn't matter. I have probably like 90 more pitches for the game, and that's what I was able to do today." By the time Happ hit his solo homer and Nico Hoerner added a solo homer for Chicago off Jared Koenig in the eighth, the game was long since over. The Brewers answered Busch's homer with six runs off Boyd in the bottom of the first. Jackson Chourio, Brice Turang and William Contreras opened with consecutive doubles to put Milwaukee up 2-1. Andrew Vaughn walked with one out, then Contreras scored when second baseman Hoerner booted Sal Frelick's grounder. With two outs, Blake Perkins capped an 11-pitch at-bat with an RBI single to center to make the score 4-1 and chase Boyd after 30 pitches. Michael Soroka relieved and walked Joey Ortiz to load the bases. Chourio followed with a two-run single to left to make it 6-1 — Hoerner's error making the final four runs unearned. "Bottom line, they had really good at-bats," Cubs manager Craig Counsell said. "They hit balls hard. They spoiled pitches. The Perkins at-bat was just a great at-bat. You've got to give him credit for that. Matt made some pitches to him, and he spoiled him and ended up with a base hit that was a really, really good major league at-bat." Milwaukee made the score 9-1 in the second. Contreras, Yelich and Vaughn opened with consecutive singles to load the bases. Caleb Durbin drove in two runs with a one-out single to make it 8-1. Aaron Civale relieved Soroka and Chourio beat out an infield RBI single to third – making him the first player in postseason history to register three hits in the first two innings. Boyd registered just two outs while allowing six runs (two earned) on four hits, one walk and one strikeout. Soroka gave up three runs on five hits in one inning, walking two in a 38-pitch outing. Chourio, who missed most of August with a strained right hamstring, was removed for a pinch runner after legging out that infield single. Chourio was diagnosed with right hamstring tightness and underwent an MRI. Although there were no immediate results to the imaging, Chourio was optimistic. "They haven't said anything," Chourio said afterward through a translator. "We're still waiting. But physically I feel good, and I feel in a position where I'm ready to keep going and keep competing." The second game of the best-of-five series will be in Milwaukee on Monday night. "We made it harder for ourselves. We've got to win three out of four now; they've got to win two out of four," Counsell said. "Other than that, we've got to do more. We pitched well for the last six innings. We didn't pitch well early. That's it." –Jim Hoehn, Field Level Media
