ALL-STAR WEEKEND
By GARY HENLEY
The Daily Astorian
A
few local high school
seniors recently wrapped
up their athletic careers at
the prep level, in annual summer
all-star games for baseball and
basketball, as part of the Oregon
Athletic Coaches Association all-
star series.
Astoria’s Trey Hageman
— who will continue his base-
ball career at Linn-Benton Com-
munity College next season —
played his final three games as a
Fisherman over the weekend.
And Hageman helped the
North All-Stars sweep the South
in three games Saturday and
Sunday at Bill Gray Stadium in
Roseburg.
In a single game Saturday, the
North scored seven runs in the
first inning for a 16-6 win.
The North continued its domi-
nance with a pair of victories in a
Sunday doubleheader.
Hageman was 1-for-1 at the
plate, with a single, an RBI and a
run scored in North’s 11-7 win in
Game 1. He added an RBI double
in Game 2, as the North pounded
the South 16-3 to complete the
sweep.
Earlier, Hageman was named
as an infielder on the Class 4A
first team all-state squad, as voted
on by coaches.
Knappa’s Kaleb Miller, left, was the most
valuable player, and teammate Dale Takalo
was named outstanding pitcher in the recent
3A/2A/1A all-star baseball series.
From left to right, Seaside’s Jetta Ideue, Astoria’s
McKailyn Rogers, and Seaside’s Viola Soprano
played in the 4A all-star softball series.
Loggers still winning
No matter what time of year
or what sport they’re playing at
Knappa, the Loggers just keep on
winning.
In the 3A/2A/1A baseball all-
star series at Linfield College in
McMinnville, Knappa’s Mason
Hoover, Kaleb Miller and Dale
Takalo all took part as players,
for coach Jeff Miller of the North
squad.
Fresh off their state champion-
ship earlier this month, the Log-
gers and the West all-star team
won two of three games in the
summer all-star series.
The West defeated the East by
scores of 8-3 and 8-4, while the
East managed an 8-7 win.
Miller was named Most Valu-
able Player for the entire series,
as the senior bound for Clark Col-
lege started two games at catcher.
Seattle
activates
RHP Nicasio
Associated Press
SEATTLE — The Mari-
ners have activated right-handed
reliever Juan Nicasio from the
10-day disabled list as they con-
tinue to add options in their
bullpen.
Nicasio and catcher Chris Her-
rmann were added to the 25-man
roster on Monday ahead of a road
trip against the New York Yankees
and Boston that begins on Tues-
day. Seattle optioned right-hander
Rob Whalen and catcher David
Freitas to Triple-A Tacoma.
Nicasio was one of Seattle’s
big offseason additions to the bull-
pen. He was placed on the DL on
June 8 with a right knee injury.
His results to that point had been
mixed, with an eight-game stretch
of not allowing a run in late May
and early June, followed by giv-
ing up four runs without retiring
a batter in his previous outing on
June 6 against Houston. Nicasio
has appeared in 30 games and has
a 5.34 ERA.

the East.
Ideue also played in an all-star
softball game for 4A seniors, held
June 3. Seaside’s Viola Soprano
and Astoria’s McKailyn Rogers
were part of the North squad.
COLLEGE WORLD SERIES
Beavers rally after 4-hour delay
Oregon State pours
on offense, sends
Washington home
By ERIC OLSON
Associated Press
OMAHA, Neb. — Oregon State
kept things loose in the clubhouse
during a weather delay that stretched
to 4 ½ hours at the College World
Series. Reserve outfielder Joe Casey
entertained teammates by stuffing 30
pieces of gum into his mouth, a party
game known as “Mafia” broke out
and the tunes were cranked up.
When it was time to return to the
field, the Beavers were all business.
Kyle Nobach hit a three-run homer
to put Oregon State in control in the
seventh inning, Kevin Abel pitched
four strong innings of relief and Ore-
gon State sent Pac-12 rival Washing-
ton home from the College World
Series with a 14-5 win on Monday
night.
“Crazy game. Long day,” Beavers
coach Pat Casey said. “I thought our
guys came out really prepared after
the rain delay. We were kind of scuf-
fling out of the chute. Really appreci-
ate the way they hung with it and got
themselves a win.”
The Beavers erased early deficits,
starting their comeback just before
the teams were pulled off the field
because of lightning near TD Amer-
itrade Park. Before play resumed, star
second baseman Nick Madrigal gave
a talk to emphasize the stakes.
“It’s win or go home at this point,
and there are a lot of guys that will
never put this uniform on again,”
Nobach said. “It means a lot to us,

and a lot of people don’t really under-
stand it until you play here and you’re
around ‘Case’ and this program.
That’s motivating for us. And that’s
what his message was, just to strictly
compete.”
Oregon State (50-11-1), the No. 3
national seed, was coming off a loss
to North Carolina in its CWS opener
and still must win three more games
to reach the best-of-three finals.
Washington (35-26) went two games
and out in its first CWS.
“A lot of people expected us to roll
over halfway through the season,”
Huskies shortstop Levi Jordan said.
“Instead, we went the other direction
and brought this program to its first
College World Series. To hang our
heads about our performance in the
College World Series... it shouldn’t be
a reflection of our season. Obviously,
a tough loss. But the program is mov-
ing in a great direction.”
UP NEXT: CWS
• Oregon State Beavers (1-1)
vs. Game 6 loser (1-1)
• Wednesday, 4 p.m. TV: ESPN
Washington had leads of 3-0 and
5-4 before the delay in the top of the
sixth inning. The Beavers had bases
loaded with two outs when play was
stopped. Washington sent out closer
Alex Hardy (5-4), the fourth of seven
Huskies pitchers, after the delay and
he walked in the tying run.
The Huskies elected to intention-
ally walk Adley Rutschman to set up
forces on the bases with two outs in
the seventh. Michael Gretler smashed
a ball down the left-field line for the
tie-breaking double, and Nobach hit a
2-2 pitch that barely cleared the wall
in right center for his sixth homer of
the season and a 9-5 lead.
Oregon State scored all but one of
its runs with two outs. The Beavers
were 13 for 21 with two outs and 7 for
10 with runners in scoring position.
Tyler Malone homered to start a
five-run eighth inning that finished
off the Huskies.
Beavers starter Bryce Fehmel
turned the game over Kevin Abel
after giving up a single to start the
fifth. Abel (5-1) threw 17 pitches
before the delay, and Casey opted to
have him go back to the mound when
play resumed. Abel allowed one run
on one hit and two walks. He struck
out five.
Oregon State avoided going 0-2
at a CWS for the first time in five
appearances since 2005.
KWAN INJURED
Oregon State lost All-Pac-12 cen-
ter fielder Steven Kwan to a ham-
string injury at the end of the third
inning. Kwan, who came into the
game batting .363 and reached base
four times in the loss to North Caro-
lina, pulled up as he was running to
first base on a double play ending the
third inning. Preston Jones replaced
him and was 1 for 4 with a two-run
double. Casey said he didn’t know if
Kwan would play Wednesday.
UP NEXT
Oregon State will play another
elimination game Wednesday against
the North Carolina-Mississippi State
loser. That game was postponed until
Tuesday morning because of the long
delay in the Beavers’ game and the
threat of more rain Monday night.
Washington made a big late-sea-
son push to get to Omaha after being
picked seventh in the Pac-12 presea-
son coaches’ poll.
