Hunter's RBI In 11th Leads Angels To Sweep Of A's

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) -- Torii Hunter's two-out single drove home Jeff Mathis in the 11th inning, and the Los Angeles Angels wrapped up their home schedule with a 2-1 victory over the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday.

Los Angeles failed to score with the bases loaded and one out in both the ninth and 10th innings, but Mathis and Howie Kendrick singled in the 11th against Brad Ziegler (3-7). Hunter then lined a hit to center, ending a disappointing season at Angel Stadium with a fireworks celebration for the dethroned AL West champions.

Kendrick had three hits for the Angels, who will miss the postseason for the first time since 2006 and just the third time since their only World Series title in 2002.
