SPORTS IN BRIEF
Knappa’s Takalo tosses
complete game for Hilander
NEWPORT — Hilander Dental began a four-day stay in
Newport with a 9-1 win over Michael’s Toyota, a 16U team
from Bellevue, Washington, on the first day of the Mid-Coast
Dungies Invitational.
Action continues today through Sunday at Frank Wade Park,
where Hilander Dental (the Lower Columbia Baseball Club’s
AAA Legion team) will play “503 Baseball” today at 12:30
p.m. Hilander will face the Corvallis Marketmen, 12:30 p.m.
Saturday.
Knappa’s Eli Takalo pitched Hilander to Thursday’s win,
giving up just five hits with six strikeouts and no walks in the
complete-game victory.
Offensively, Hilander scored five runs in the top of the first
inning, as Kaleb Miller, Ben Bergonzine, Dale Takalo and Pay-
ton Westerholm all drove in runs.
Miller and Trey Hageman were each 2-for-3 with a double,
while Dale Takalo had a triple.
Hageman also had an unassisted double play.
Seaside driver third
in Rose Cup event
PORTLAND — Seaside racer Daniel Jesse placed third in
the Vintage category of the 58th running of the Rose Cup Races
held last weekend at the Portland International Raceway.
The Rose Cup Races are the Pacific Northwest’s premier
amateur road racing event, which feature racing competitors
from both the Oregon Region Sports Car Club of America and
the Cascade Sports Car Club.
The racers compete in four amateur race groups: Spec Racer
Ford, Great American Stock Car Series, Spec Miata and a Vin-
tage race group. This year’s event also highlighted the return
of professional sports car racing to PIR for the first time since
2009. The Pirelli World Challenge, considered North America’s
top GT production-based road racing sports car series, brought
more than 20 different manufacturers and 40 separate models to
the Rose Cup Races, with four race groups and seven classes.
The weekend marked the first time Pirelli World Challenge
has raced in Portland since 2005.
Jesse took third in the Vintage category behind Erik Dolson,
of Sisters, and Norm Daniels, of Vancouver, Washington.
The official winner of Sunday’s 58th Rose Cup race was the
team of 17-year-old Parker Chase and veteran Ryan Dalziel,
who drove their Audi R8 LMS to victory in the GT SprintX
feature.
Crescent Valley rallies
to defeat Warrenton
CORVALLIS — Warrenton held an early lead, but Crescent
Valley rallied for a 7-4 win in a first round game of the Junior
Baseball state tournament Thursday evening in Corvallis.
Tournament action continues today through Sunday at Cres-
cent Valley High School.
The Raiders are the host team for the tournament, but War-
renton was the home team in Thursday’s game.
And the Warriors grabbed an early 2-0 lead, scoring a run in
each of the first two innings, with Austin Little’s single up the
middle driving in Ethan Caldwell in the second.
But Crescent Valley scored twice in the third inning, then
tacked on three runs in the fourth and two more in the fifth.
Warrenton scored two runs in the third to briefly close to within
5-4.
Devin Jackson was the starting pitcher for the Warriors, and
finished with five strikeouts and nine walks.
“He wasn’t as sharp as he usually is (Jackson walked just
eight all of last spring), but in his defense he was at football
camp all week,” said Warrenton coach Lennie Wolfe. “And
when you’re playing football Sunday through Wednesday, it’s
tough to be razor-sharp on Thursday. But, this is just the time of
year when kids are doing other things, and we didn’t quite get
enough time in as we would have liked.”
Little and Kale’o Kapua each had a double for the Warriors,
while both teams finished with just six hits. Ethan Janssen had
a double for Crescent Valley.
Jackson Van Eyk pitched six-and-a-third innings for the
Raiders, before giving way to a relief pitcher for the final two
outs.
Jackson, Gabe Breitmeyer and Dalton Knight all saw time
on the mound for Warrenton, which plays today in the conso-
lation round against Silverton, 2:30 p.m. on the junior varsity
field.

Zach Johnson takes
early lead in British Open
CARNOUSTIE, Scotland — The way golf has been going
the last few years, it would be reasonable to see the name “John-
son” atop the leaderboard and assume it belonged to the No. 1
player in the world.
But not necessarily at the British Open.
Zach Johnson — not Dustin — already has his name on the
claret jug. And the way he handled the rain Friday in his round
of 4-under 67, he might have a chance to see it on that precious
silver trophy again.
Johnson holed a 30-foot birdie putt on the 18th and had a
one-shot lead over Tommy Fleetwood at the midway point of
the second round. Fleetwood, the top player on the European
Tour last year, put together the best round of the week at Car-
noustie with a 65.

NFL, NFLPA freeze anthem rules
amid backlash to Miami policy
By ROB MAADDI
Associated Press
T
he NFL’s two-month old
national anthem policy
is on hold.
Hours after The Asso-
ciated Press reported that
Miami Dolphins players who
protest on the field during the
anthem could be suspended
for up to four games under a
team policy issued this week,
the league and the players
union issued a joint state-
ment late Thursday night say-
ing the two sides are talking
things out.
“The NFL and NFLPA,
through recent discussions,
have been working on a res-
olution to the anthem issue.
In order to allow this con-
structive dialogue to con-
tinue, we have come to a
standstill agreement on the
NFLPA’s grievance and on
the NFL’s anthem policy.
No new rules relating to the
anthem will be issued or
enforced for the next several
weeks while these confiden-

VALENCE, France —
Peter Sagan won his third
stage of this Tour de France,
while Geraint Thomas kept
the overall lead over teammate
Chris Froome on Friday.
World champion Sagan
won a sprint finish by a wheel
length to claim Stage 13, a
169.5-kilometer (105-mile)
leg from Bourg d’Oisans to
Valence in less than four hours.
After overzealous fans
marred Thomas’ win on Thurs-
day atop the Alpe d’Huez, the
otherwise complete calm of
Friday’s leg was briefly dis-
turbed by a man on the road-
side who tossed a smoke bomb
into the center of the peloton
as it passed by with 16 kilome-
ters left.
Besides spitting out yellow
smoke, the bomb appeared to
do no harm.
Thomas took charge of the
race with impressive wins atop
summit finishes on the previ-
ous two days.
The Welsh rider for Sky
had no trouble maintaining his
advantage of 1 minute, 39 sec-
ond over defending champion
Froome on the flat ride that
came after three grueling days
in the Alps.
Both Team Sky riders fin-
ished safely in the pack with
their top rivals.
Tom Dumoulin stayed third
overall at 1:50 behind. Primoz
Roglic was fourth at 2:46, and
Romain Bardet was fifth at
3:07 back.
Sagan timed his move per-
fectly, charging forward to
overtake runner-up Alexander
Kristoff and Arnaud Demare,
who finished third, at the fin-
ish line.
The Slovakian’s 12th
career Tour victory came after
he dominated sprints at the end
of Stages 2 and 5.

headlines over the past two
seasons, caused division and
alienated some fans.
The NFL rule that was
passed in May forbid players
from sitting or taking a knee
if they are on the field or side-
lines during “The Star-Span-
gled Banner,” but allowed
them to stay in the locker
room if they wish. The pol-
icy said teams would be fined
if players didn’t stand during
the anthem while on the field.
The league left it up to teams
on how to punish players.
