10A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, APRIL 9, 2018 CONTACT US FOLLOW US facebook.com/ DailyAstorianSports Gary Henley | Sports Reporter ghenley@dailyastorian.com Astoria rallies and holds off Scappoose, 6-5 The Daily Astorian If the Astoria baseball team is going to contend for a league cham- pionship this season, they will need to score a few “must-wins” over the leading candidates. And the Fishermen reeled in a big one Friday afternoon, as they posted a 6-5 victory over Scappoose, in the Indians’ last visit to Astoria as a mem- ber of the Cowapa League. Scappoose and Astoria have played some great ones over the years, and Friday’s win was certainly memorable for the Fishermen. What should have been a big first inning for Scappoose resulted in just one run for the Indians. And in what should have been a three-up, three- down inning for Astoria in the bot- tom of the first, the Fishermen scored twice. And that’s the kind of day it was for Astoria, which had seven hits but stranded just three runners. Scappoose, meanwhile, had seven hits and left eight runners on base, several in scoring position. The Fishermen also overcame a fine pitching performance by Scap- poose sophomore Logan Travis, who gave up six hits and struck out seven with one walk. But — like every team on Asto- ria’s schedule this year — the Indians couldn’t overcome Trey Hageman. As the starting pitcher, Hageman’s first task was to get out of a bas- es-loaded, no outs jam in the top of the first. After walking two and giving up a single, he struck out two batters before a Fishermen error allowed one run to score. But that was all Scap- poose would get, as Hageman got Terrence Lewis to fly out to center for the third out. Hageman led off the bottom of the first with a high fly ball that ended up dropping in center field, in between three Scappoose fielders for a long single. One out later, the Indians mis- played a tailor-made double play grounder, throwing the ball into right field, allowing Hageman to score. Josiah Hirsch followed with a ground ball that brought in Will Reed for a 2-1 lead. Hageman made his next plate appearance in the bottom of the sec- ond, with two outs and a runner on. And Hageman delivered the offer- ing from Travis over the center field fence for a two-run homer and a 4-2 lead. The Indians rallied to tie the game in the fourth, then scored a run in the fifth on an RBI single by Breeler Mann to take a 5-4 lead.

Scappoose collected 16 hits from eight different players and built an 11-0 lead through three innings. Pitcher Jenna Hatcher allowed just three Astoria hits (Julia Norris, Lexxis Lyngstad, Kayla Helligso), and struck out seven batters with no walks. Norris scored Astoria’s lone run in the fourth inning on a hit by Lyngstad. Hannah Galey led the Indians, going 4-for-5 with a home run, four RBIs and two runs scored. Gabie Krueger and Taylor John- son had three hits apiece for Scappoose. Seaside fourth at ‘Raven Rumble’ The Daily Astorian REDMOND — There’s a long way to go, but the race for the state championship in 4A boys golf will likely come down to one of three schools from the Cowapa League. The battle on the course between Scap- poose, Seaside and Valley Catholic will be a fun one to watch, as it was at the 15-team “Raven Rumble” Friday at Eagle Crest Ridge Course in Redmond. Summit — the defending 5A state cham- pion — won the event with a 309 team score, ahead of Valley Catholic (321). Class 5A Bend (334) took third, while Scappoose and Seaside tied for fourth at 349. Seaside’s fifth golfer, Curtis Kunde, had a better score (93) than the fifth golfer from Scappoose (Jack Eggers, 96), to break the tie. Ridgeview’s Isaac Berger, playing on his home course, and Summit’s William Fleck tied for medalist honors at 73. Seaside’s Jackson Kunde finished a stroke away from a top 10 finish with an 80. He was followed by teammates Connor Merrell and Mason Shamion (each with an 89) and Sam- son Sibony (91). “We came here to see where we stand among the best teams, and we fared pretty well,” said Seaside coach Jim Poetsch. “Val- ley Catholic looked pretty good today, but we were able to beat the rest of the 4A schools, including the defending state champions. “We still have some work to do, but I can see us being quite a bit better by sea- son’s end,” he said. “We only had two bird- ies today. Mason (Shamion) and Samson (Sibony) both birdied the fourth hole, and we still competed well. If we can limit our big scores — we still had too many today — and throw in a few more birdies, we could be really good.” Seaside’s next match is Tuesday at Quail Valley, a league match vs. Banks. Mariners’ Healy injures ankle in workout Associated Press MINNEAPOLIS — Seattle Mariners first baseman Ryon Healy injured his right ankle during a postgame workout Saturday and likely will miss at least a few games this week. Healy was injured following an 11-4 win over Minnesota and showed up on crutches and in a walking boot Sunday, when the series finale was postponed due to poor weather. Manager Scott Servais tells MLB. com that Healy will have an MRI and likely miss the upcoming three-game series against Kansas City. task brought the Fishermen back in the bottom of the fifth. Hageman drew a leadoff walk, took third on a double from Burke Matthews, and Reed’s sacrifice fly scored Hageman with the tying run. And Hirsch came through with another RBI, a sacrifice fly to deep center that scored Matthews with the eventual game-winner. On in relief of Hageman, Mat- thews and Dylan Rush finished the game on the mound for Astoria, with Matthews picking up the win and Rush nailing down the save. Scappoose and Astoria will meet one more time this season, May 2 at Scappoose. BASEBALL John Woods/The Canadian Press The Winnipeg Jets and the Chicago Blackhawks come together at center ice wearing Broncos on the back of their jerseys for a moment of silence for the Humboldt Broncos bus crash victims before an NHL game Saturday in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Canada town’s arena focus of mourning after crash kills 15 By JEREMY HAINSWORTH and ROB GILLIES Associated Press HUMBOLDT, Saskatchewan — The people of this small town grieved at their hockey arena Sun- day, laying flowers and jerseys in a makeshift memorial at the entrance and later gathering inside to mourn the deaths of 15 people when a semi-trailer slammed into the bus carrying the local youth hockey team. The 14 others on the bus were injured, some critically, in Friday night’s collision, which has Can- ada, its national sport and the hock- ey-obsessed town of Humboldt reeling. Among the dead are Bron- cos head coach Darcy Haugan, team captain Logan Schatz and radio announcer Tyler Bieber. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau visited the injured at the hospital Sunday and then attended the vigil held in the town’s arena Sunday night. Trudeau sat among the crowd with his 11-year-old son, Xavier, a hockey player Team President Kevin Gar- inger choked back tears as he read out the names of the 15 dead. Peo- ple embraced each other, crying. Boxes of Kleenex were passed down rows. Behind them, flowers ringed the team logo at center ice. In front Jonathan Hayward/The Canadian Press Mourners comfort each other at a vigil Sunday at the Elgar Peters- en Arena, home of the Humboldt Broncos, to honor the victims. of them, there were pictures of the dead and injured. Humboldt pastor Sean Brandow, the team chaplain, said he was on his way to the Broncos game Friday and arrived at the scene right after the collision. He described hearing the cries and holding the hand of a lifeless body. “I walked up and saw a scene I never want to see again, heard sounds I never want to hear again,” Brandow said. Nick Shumlanski, an injured player who was released from the hospital, attended the vigil wearing his white, green and yellow team jersey, with a bruise under his left eye. Residents of this town of less than 6,000 people earlier left flow- ers, jerseys and personal tributes on the steps of the arena’s entrance. One tribute included a Kraft mac- aroni and cheese dinner box, which was a favorite meal of deceased for- ward Evan Thomas. A bouquet of pink roses adorned the box, which read: “to Evan, game day special, love your billet brother and sister Colten and Shelby.” While most of the players were from elsewhere in western Can- ada, they were put up by families in the small town of Humboldt. Bil- leting families are a large part of junior hockey, with players spend- ing years with host families. Reed wins first major title, holds off Fowler at Masters By DOUG FERGUSON Associated Press AUGUSTA, Ga. — The tepid applause that greeted Patrick Reed on the first tee made it clear he wasn’t the people’s choice. All he cared about was being the Masters champion. He turned back an early move by Rory McIlroy and a late charge by Rickie Fowler. Most daunting in the middle of the final round Sun- day was a familiar name at Augusta National — Jordan Spieth — on the verge of the greatest comeback in Masters history. Reed had the game and the grit to beat them all. And when he slipped on that green jacket, he had every- one’s respect. “I knew it was going to be a dog- fight,” Reed said. “It’s just a way of God basically saying, ‘Let’s see if you have it.’ Everyone knows you have it physically with the talent. But do you have it mentally? Can you handle the ups and downs throughout the round?” He has proven that playing for Patrick Reed his country. He did it Sunday for himself. The final test was a 25-foot putt down the scary slope on the 18th green, and Reed pressed down both hands, begging it to stop as it rolled 3 feet by. From there, the 27-year-old Texan calmly rolled in the par putt for a 1-under 71 and a one-shot vic- tory. Known as “Captain America” for his play in the Ryder Cup, Reed added a far more important title: Masters champion. The loudest cheers were for everyone else, and Reed picked up on that right away. The crowd was squarely behind McIlroy and his best chance yet at completing the career Grand Slam. Then it was Spieth, running off four birdies in a five-hole stretch on the back nine to challenge the course record. The loudest cheer was for Fowler when he made an 8-foot birdie putt on the final hole to pull within one. Reed never flinched through it all. “I just went out there and just tried to play golf the best I could and tried to stay in the moment and not worry about everything else,” Reed said. Reed, who finished at 15-under 273, won for the sixth time in his PGA Tour career. Until Sunday, he was best known for the trophies he shared at the Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup. He is ferocious in match play, especially the team variety, and his singles vic- tory over McIlroy at Hazeltine in the 2016 Ryder Cup led to his nickname.

Orlando City trailed 2-0 enter- ing the 80th minute before Orlando City (2-2-1) scored the three quick goals for its second consecutive win. RJ Allen’s pass from midfield led Dwyer down the right side into the box where he spun around, and then cut back, to evade two defenders before putting away a right-footer from the corner of the 6-yard box in the 87th to cap the scoring. Diego Valeri converted from the spot in the 20th minute, after Sebastian Blanco drew a penalty conceded by Mohamed El-Mu- nir, to give the Timbers (0-3-2) a 1-0. Bill Tuiloma, a 23-year-old defender, doubled the advantage with his first career MLS goal in the 59th, heading home a well- played cross by Valeri on a set piece. Chris Mueller’s header, off a corner kick by Yoshimar Yotun, deflected off Portland’s Dairon Asprilla into the side net to make it 2-1 in the 80th minute and Sacha Kljestan’s penalty kick — follow- ing a foul in area conceded by Alvas Powell — tied it moments later.
