effort, how they bring it every single day. i'm just really happy and proud of them. for them to be in this position and feel this excitement, it's just awesome for our program. stanford hosted washington state. k.j. costello goes to his favorite target on his favorite play, the fade. that's his tenth touchdown reception of the year. washington state scored the next 14 points. an easy walk-in touchdown here. second quarter, costello with 34 of 43 total, 323 yards and 4 touchdowns. here he scrambles enough to find caden smith for the ten-yard touchdown. cardinal up 28-17 at the half. washington state came back, took the lead in the fourth. three yards to bernard bell. the cougars up by seven. 1:31 left in the game, 25 yards for the score there, tied again at 38-38 this time.
9:46 am
but there is enough time for washington to do this. blake maza makes a 42-yard field goal. washington state now leads the pac-12 north with 4-1 record in conference play. 41-38 the final. >> effort does not show up in the win-loss column, but what happened out there on the field, that's the team i want to coach. he had the lead and we just -- we couldn't extend it, we couldn't keep it. >> we worked so hard during the week being process oriented and seeing growth in so many areas, but not getting a win is a really tough feeling. >> that was a heartbreaker, at least for me personally, because i feel like we came out hoping to make a statement and we did. we just couldn't wrap it up in the end and that's what killed us really. >> after an 18-inning, 7 hour 20 minute game three of the world series, the red sox and the dodgers had time for a meal and short nap before first pitch on saturday night of game four.
9:47 am
both teams probably running on adrenaline, but there was a unique moment before the game. dennis eckersley threw out the ceremonial first pitch to gibson. remember he hit a dramatic home run off eck in the world series. the dodgers erupted for four runs, three of them provided by puig's bomb off rodriguez. the dodgers took a 4-0 lead but gave it back. the red sox with two outs in the seventh, mitch morland connected on a three-run home run of his own. then another home run in the eight of the tih tied it up at . top of the ninth, this base hit finds the gap. pierce finds the gap next with the bases loaded. you know what he's going to do, a bases clearing double. the dodgers were, were 54-0 when they led by four runs throughout
9:48 am
the season. in playoffs they are now 54-1. the red sox win 9-6 the final. they are own one win away from their ninth world series title as a franchise. coming up today, the raiders host the colts and the 49ers are in arizona. both of those games kick off at 1:00. we'll bring you all of those highlights as well as highlights from game five of the world series starting at 5:00. we'll see you then. good sunday morning, a beautiful one. this is from our sutro tower camera and the fog just swallowed up the cameras there. so about 750-foot marine layer and it's kind of going back and forth. you can still sort of make out the towers there. a beautiful start to the day. we are looking at a cooler afternoon for you in santa rosa. yesterday you were in the upper 70s. today about 6 degrees cooler at 73. tomorrow low 70s again. that is average for this time of year. then the numbers bump up tuesday, wednesday, staying warm thursday, friday, even into the weekend.
9:49 am
as we look outside from our abc 7 roof camera, you can see just a gentle breeze out there. some of the haze and fog with us here in the city. so we are watching a system to the north that is bringing rain to the pacific northwest and allowing for that marine layer and some of the clouds to stick around for the time being into the morning and early afternoon hours. so here's the system that has been getting portland, seattle wet and mt. shasta, but it just falls apart as it sinks south. you can see some partly cloudy skies here in downtown san francisco. so upper 50s for you in san jose, 62 in oakland, morgan hill and pacifica. speaking of the city here, you can see this vantage point where the cloud deck is lower. looking at the hazy skies, 58 santa rosa, 61 for you in novato with vacaville at 61 and concord is at 64. cooler in livermore. this is the airport in san jose where we're looking at some sun here. temperatures, low 70s, near average for much of the south bay today. we have some of that fog still dense. the golden gate bridge and the
9:50 am
high clouds around the bay, that should do it for today with the hazy conditions, it will be cooler, and looking for numbers to get even warmer as we head toward next week. warmer than we were this past week, so that would bring us well into the 80s and it looks dry. as we go through the next several hours, the fog clings to the coast, thins out and high clouds will begin to push south. so more sunshine on the way. through the overnight hours, we're relatively clear. some high clouds as we get towards tomorrow morning, 9:30 or so, and then it's a sunny afternoon with temperatures again 60s and 70s, so pretty pleasant out there with low 70s arriving around the bay. it will be in the mid-70s inland, but tuesday begins our warming trend with low 80s. look at the 60s along the shoreline. as we get into wednesday, more of those oranges coming into play in the north bay. we'll have a bit of wind as well, so we'll watch it for that offshore event that could perhaps bring us high fire danger. in the mid-70s for tuesday in
9:51 am
san jose, upper 70s should be your forecast for thursday and friday. so looking at numbers from 69 today in oakland with the mid-70s bringing in the cooler air to the east bay today. low 70s north bay and south bay. if you're headed to the game in oakland, it should be a nice afternoon, partly cloudy, about 67. the accuweather seven-day forecast, our cooldown continues today into tomorrow. download our accuweather app and it's warming up tuesday, week. 80s inland, 70s around the bay and near 70 as we get towards thursday and friday, which of course begins a new month. so not looking like it should, now anyway. >> and september didn't quite look like it should either, so maybe this warming trending is getting delayed a bit into the year? >> yeah, it's unusual, but into next week we're looking maybe at some rain. a little too soon to tell, but that would be nice. >> that would be good, especially for fire danger. thanks so much, lisa. a group of women in the east bay did something that generated a lot of puzzled looks but also a lot of smiles.
