IN BRIEF
North American
trio beats out
Morocco to host
2026 World Cup
Haniger’s homer
gives Mariners
sweep of Angels
SEATTLE — Something
about the big moments brings out
the best in Mitch Haniger.
His two-run home run in the
ninth on Wednesday, after a stel-
lar defensive play in the top of
the inning, gave the Seattle Mar-
iners an 8-6 victory and sweep of
the three-game series over the Los
Angeles Angels.
“We have such a powerful
lineup,” Haniger said. “On any
given night it can be somebody
else and that’s kind of the vibe.
There’s no panic.”

S
EASIDE — A gathering
of former Seaside base-
ball players took part in the
fourth annual event for No. 4 last
Sunday.
The Jon Gizdavich Memo-
rial game was held at Broadway
Field. It helps raise money for
scholarships awarded in the name
of the late Seaside High School
student-athlete.
Gizdavich was a Class of 2007
graduate, and was nearing his
graduation from Oregon State
University at the time of his death
in a car accident in January 2013.
His girlfriend, Bri Hostetler,
and former teammate Ross Knut-
sen helped organize the annual
event, the first of which was held
in 2015.
In addition to honoring Gizda-
vich, the event also raises money
for an annual $1,000 scholarship,
awarded in Gizdavich’s name.
Winners of the 2018 scholar-
ship were Jetta Ideue and Skyler
Yoshino.
Anne Donovan, the Basketball
Hall of Famer who won a national
championship at Old Domin-
ion, two Olympic gold medals as
a player and another as a coach,
died Wednesday of heart failure.
She was 56.
Donovan’s family confirmed
the death in a statement.
“While it is extremely difficult
to express how devastating it is to
lose Anne, our family remains so
very grateful to have been blessed
with such a wonderful human
being,” the statement said.

MOSCOW — North Amer-
ica will host the 2026 World Cup
after FIFA voters overwhelmingly
opted Wednesday for the financial
and logistical certainty of a United
States-led bid over a risky Moroc-
can proposal for the first 48-team
tournament.
The soccer showpiece will
return to the U.S. for the first
time since 1994 after gaining 134
votes, while Morocco got 65 at the
FIFA Congress in Moscow, where
the 2018 tournaments starts
today.
Germany looks to
become 1st repeat
Cup champ in
half-century
MOSCOW — After raising
the World Cup eight miles from
Copacabana Beach four years
ago, Germany hopes to lift the tro-
phy four miles from the Kremlin
on July 15 and become the first
repeat champion in more than a
half-century.
The soccer world gathers at 12
stadiums in 11 cities across the
European portion of Russia start-
ing today for a 32-day, 64-match
championship. Much has changed
since Die Mannschaft humiliated
the host Selecao 7-1 in the 2014
semifinals, then left Rio de Janei-
ro’s Maracana Stadium with a 1-0
extra-time win over Argentina
on Mario Goetze’s 113th-minute
goal.
The United States will be
missing from soccer’s showcase
after seven straight appearances.
Four-time champion Italy will be
watching from home for the first
time since 1958.
