Dolphins' WR Marshall
recovers from stabbing

The wife of Brandon Marshall stabbed him with a kitchen knife, sheriff's deputies said Saturday, and his publicist said the Miami Dolphins receiver was released from a hospital and would fully recover.

Michi Nogami-Marshall, 26, was arrested Friday night and charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon. According to a Broward County Sheriff's Office arrest report, Nogami-Marshall told officers she was defending herself. Marshall had earlier told officers he slipped and fell onto a broken glass vase, but the officers noted that evidence at the couple's home didn't substantiate that claim.

Nogami-Marshall was released from jail on $7,500 bail. It was unclear if she had an attorney.

Marshall married Michi Nogami in Miami in July. They met while both were students at Central Florida.

Also: Florida cornerback Janoris Jenkins was charged with marijuana possession for the second time this year.

A Gainesville police report said an officer spotted the 22-year-old sitting in a parked car, smoking what the officer later found to be a marijuana cigar.

Jenkins was charged with possession of marijuana less than 20 grams, a misdemeanor. He was released after signing a notice to appear in court.

Jenkins was arrested on the same charge in January, for which he accepted a plea deal and paid $316.

Indiana suspended running back Darius Willis for one game this fall for unspecified conduct detrimental to the team.

Willis rushed for 278 yards and four touchdowns last season as a sophomore, missing the final eight games because of a torn patellar tendon in his right knee.

The sister of Louisiana State coach Les Miles was killed in a car accident near Baton Rouge.

Addis Assistant Police Chief David Jones said 54-year-old Ann Hope Browne, of Zachary, was attempting to merge onto Louisiana Highway 1 on Friday when her car was struck on the driver's side by a pickup truck.

The Rebels (25-17, 4-10) took a 1-0 lead in the first inning on Brandon Bayardi's run-scoring double, but the Horned Frogs tied the game in the fifth when Javate, who was making his first start of the season, hit three straight batters and surrendered a sacrifice fly.

Edwards gets fifth win
at Nashville speedway

Carl Edwards claimed his fifth career victory at Nashville Superspeedway in Gladeville, Tenn., holding off Kyle Busch to win the Nashville 300.

Edwards celebrated the Nationwide Series victory with his trademark back flip and a brief trip to the edge of the grandstands to acknowledge cheering fans.

Edwards' victory kept Busch from pulling off the first double at the track. Busch had dominated in winning the Trucks Series race Friday night.

Edwards led 148 of the 225 laps and took the lead for good on lap 191, passing Busch and opening a slight lead and weaving past a slower car on the final lap.

It was Edwards' second Nationwide victory of the season and 31st overall.

Brad Keselowski, a two-time winner in Nashville, finished third, edging pole-sitter Joey Logano in fourth and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. in fifth.

Also: Derby Kitten roared to victory in the $200,000 Lexington Stakes, surging past the leaders deep in the stretch to romp in the rain at Keeneland in Lexington, Ky.

The 3-year-old colt bided his time before jockey Julien Leparoux perfectly timed a late-race push, allowing Derby Kitten to beat Prime Cut by 1½ lengths. Derby Kitten, owned by Ken and Sarah Ramsey and trained by Mike Maker, paid $20.40, $6.60 and $3.60 while covering the 1 1/16-mile distance in 1:42.03.

Prime Cut, ridden by Edgar Prado, paid $4.40 and $3 for second. Casper's Touch finished third and paid $3.

Silver Medallion, who could have qualified for next month's Kentucky Derby with a victory, stalked the pace but had no answer in the stretch and faded to fourth.

Rafael Nadal and fellow Spaniard David Ferrer will meet in their second final in two weeks at the Barcelona Open today.

Both cruised through their semifinals, with Nadal beating the only non-Spaniard in the last four, Ivan Dodig of Croatia 6-3, 6-2, and Ferrer topping Nicolas Almagro, 6-3, 6-4.

Nadal won his 28th straight match in Barcelona, including five straight titles from 2005 to 2009. He missed last year because of injury.

Top-ranked Caroline Wozniacki beat Agnieszka Radwanska 7-5, 6-3 to advance to today's final of the Porsche Grand Prix in Stuttgart, Germany, and a shot at her fourth title of the year.

Simona Halep of Romania beat Kirsten Flipkens of Belgium 7-5, 6-4 to reach today's final of the Grand Prix SAR in Fez, Morocco, for the second straight year.

Vic Darchinyan defeated Yonnhy Perez by a technical decision after their scheduled 12-round bantamweight fight in Los Angeles was stopped at 1:07 of the fifth round because Perez had a cut near his eye.

The fight went to the scorecards because the cut between Perez's eyes was the result of an accidental head butt.

An extremely aggressive Darchinyan (36-3-1, 27 knockouts) dominated a listless Perez (20-2-1, 14 KOs) from beginning to end to win by three scores of 50-44.

Donald Brashear is no stranger to fighting, and now the former NHL enforcer has a deal to try cage-fighting.

The 39-year-old Brashear still has to pass a medical exam and get a license to fight from Quebec authorities. The plan is for Brashear to fight on the Ringside 11 card June 4 at the Quebec Coliseum.

The 6-foot-3-inch, 237-pound Brashear collected 2,634 penalty minutes in 1,025 NHL games from 1993 to 2010. He had 85 goals and 120 assists.

Las Vegas High School product Herculez Gomez scored his fourth goal of the season to help Pachuca tie 1-1 at Queretaro in the Mexican Clausura in Mexico City.

The 29-year-old forward scored in the 28th minute.
