Astoria pounds
Tillamook, 13-2
With two regular season
games remaining, the Asto-
ria and Banks baseball teams
are on a collision course for a
league championship.
The Braves and Fisher-
men remained locked in a first-
place tie, as both scored wins
Monday in Clatsop County.
While Banks was scoring
a 10-0 victory at Seaside, the
Fishermen knocked off Tilla-
mook 13-2 at Tapiola Park.
Astoria plays Tuesday at
Seaside, and Banks travels to
Valley Catholic for a Wednes-
day game. The Fishermen and
Braves close the league season
Friday at Banks.
Astoria’s Trey Hageman —
the leading candidate for Cow-
apa League Player of the Year
— was 3-for-4 at the plate,
with a double, four RBIs and
two runs scored.
He also threw a complete
five-inning game, allowing
five hits with five strikeouts
and a walk.
Astoria had nine hits off
two Tillamook pitchers, while
the Cheesemakers helped
Astoria’s cause with five errors
in the field. The Fishermen
scored 10 runs in the second
inning to secure the win.

BANKS — The Seaside
boys golf team is sitting in
third place after one round
of the District 1 regional golf
tournament, which concludes
Tuesday at Quail Valley Golf
Course.
Valley Catholic leads with
a 310 team score, and Scap-
poose is second at 332. The
Gulls carded a 347 in the
opening round to give the
Cowapa League teams the
top three spots after Day 1.
The top three teams qual-
ify for next week’s state tour-
nament. Crook County is
in fourth at 369, 22 strokes
behind Seaside, followed by
Astoria (385), Banks (386),
Molalla (387), Tillamook
(392) and Corbett (423).
Tillamook’s Carter Lee is
atop the individual leader-
board with a 73, with Valley
Catholic’s Peter Boileau at
74. Seaside freshman Curtis
Kunde is eighth with a first-
round 81. Jackson Kunde is
12th with an 85, followed by
Samson Sibony (90), Connor
Merrell (91) and Mason Sha-
mion (97).
“We came into today with
a goal of getting back to the
state tournament,” said Sea-
side coach Jim Poetsch.
“And while we didn’t score
very well, we put ourselves
in a good position to meet
that goal. We’d like to score
a little better (Tuesday), but
if we shoot the same and fin-
ish in the top three we will
have done what we set out to
accomplish this week.
“Curtis played a great
round today,” he said. “Usu-
ally it is the freshmen that
succumb to the pressure of
their first regional tourna-
ment, but he was the one who
carried us today. The four
upperclassmen all shot their
season highs today.”
Jackson Kunde “played
a Jekyll and Hyde round
today,” Poetsch said. “He
was even-par through six
holes and leading the tourna-
ment. After a double bogey
on the seventh he was still
in the lead, but he let it get
to him and he lost 12 strokes
on the next six holes. After
regaining his composure, he
went on to play the final six
holes in one-over par.”
Astoria had four golf-
ers in the 90s in Monday’s
round, led by Josh Olson
with a 93. Connor Long shot
a 96, followed by Dylan
Altheide-Nielson (97), Tay-
lor Palmberg (99) and Tryton
Matlock (110).
In the girls’ tournament
— also at Quail Valley — the
Astoria Lady Fishermen are
in fourth place in the team
standings, just outside the
top three state qualifying
spots.
Astoria shot a season-best
428 team score, beating their
previous best by 25 shots.
Four players shot per-
sonal best scores, includ-
ing Samantha Hemsley (91),
Sarah Lertora (118), Sierra
Adams (120) and Gracie
Cummings (133). Jenna Tra-
vers posted a 99.
The girls’ regional tourna-
ment also concludes Tuesday
at Quail Valley.

ERNING, Denmark — The
United States beat Germany
3-0 to stay unbeaten and Rus-
sia shut out a third straight opponent
at the world ice hockey champion-
ship on Monday.
Russia routed Belarus 6-0.
Canada allowed Denmark to
score on the way to another big win,
7-1, and defending champion Swe-
den kept cruising with a 4-0 win
against France.
U.S. captain Patrick Kane broke
the deadlock against Germany and
assisted on the other two goals in
the hard-fought Group B game in
Herning.
Germany goalie Niklas Treutle
didn’t allow the U.S. to score from
11 shots on goal in the first period.
Treutle’s teammates also killed three
penalties in the second period. Kane
finally made the breakthrough mid-
way through the game on another
power play with a one-timer to the
roof of the net.
“It was a great pass from Johnny
(Gaudreau), it was fun to be on the
Banks blanks
Seaside, 10-0
SEASIDE — Banks built a
quick 5-0 lead Monday on its
way to a 10-0 Cowapa League
baseball win over Seaside at
Broadway Field.
The Braves collected
11 hits, while Banks starter
Blake Gobel silenced the Sea-
side bats to help the Braves
remain in a first-place tie with
Astoria.
Gobel had just one strike-
out, but he had the Seaside
batters off-balance and hitting
lots of fly balls. The Gulls
had four base hits, while
Gobel walked one and threw
six solid innings (59 pitches)
before giving way to Tyler
Lilly in the seventh.
Meanwhile, the Braves
scored two runs in the first
and added three in the second,
highlighted by a two-run sin-
gle from Dakota Bunn.
Hayden Vandehey had
three singles for Banks, and
also drove in three runs.
Seaside pitchers Payton
Westerholm and Gage McFad-
den combined for three strike-
outs and four walks. A pair of
double plays helped the Gulls
get out of a couple jams, but
the Braves also turned two
double plays, including one
in the sixth when the first two
Seaside batters reached base.

receiving end of that one,” Kane said.
“It was a big goal. Zero-zero
against a team like Germany that
came out really strong and they kind
of hanged around there.”
Just over two minutes later, Derek
Ryan added an insurance goal also
on a power play. In the final period,
Kane found his NHL teammate Alex
DeBrincat in front of the net for the
third goal.
“It’s awesome to play with
(Kane),” DeBrincat said. “He gets so
many chances in a game. It’s pretty
hard not to score.”
U.S. goalie Keith Kinkaid
stopped 24 shots for his second
straight shutout.
It was the third consecutive defeat
for Germany, the runner- up at the
Pyeongchang Olympics.
Joshua Bailey opened the scor-
ing for Canada with a wrister on a
power play, and defensemen Aaron
Ekbland netted with a slap shot in the
first period.
Jordan Eberle, Ryan O’Reilly
and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins stretch
the lead to 5-0 within a three-min-
ute span.
Seahawks sign 5 tryout players following rookie camp
Associated Press
RENTON, Wash. — The Seat-
tle Seahawks have signed five tryout
players following their rookie mini-
camp, highlighted by wide receiver
Damore’ea Stringfellow.
Seattle announced the roster moves
Monday. Stringfellow started his col-
lege career at Washington before being
dismissed from the team and finish-
ing at Mississippi. Stringfellow caught
46 passes for 716 yards and six touch-
downs in his final year at Ole Miss.
He was originally signed by Miami
before being released and spent part of
last year on the New York Jets practice
squad.
Seattle also signed free safety
Tevon Mutcherson, center Marcus
Henry, and tackles Nick Callender and
Avery Young. Mutcherson played col-
legiately at Central Florida with Sea-
hawks Shaquill and Shaquem Grif-
fin, and spent part of last season with
Houston.
Seattle released wide receivers
Ka’Raun White and Taj Williams, line-
backers Jason Hall and Paul Dawson,
and center Brad Lundblade.
Caps drop Penguins in OT to
advance to conference finals
Associated Press
PITTSBURGH — A
cathartic celebration 20 years
in the making began with a
poke of Evgeny Kuznetsov’s
stick. It built as the puck
that Kuznetsov tapped away
from Sidney Crosby made
its way to Washington Cap-
itals teammate Alexander
Ovechkin.
It neared its crescendo
as Ovechkin flipped it back
to Kuznetsov, who at this
point had split two Penguins
and was streaking toward
the Pittsburgh net. And it
culminated jubilantly and
unexpectedly in the corner
moments later, with the puck
in the net and Kuznetsov’s
teammates mobbing him
after he ended two decades
of frustration with a flick of
the Russian’s wrist.
