Gary Henley/The Daily Astorian Knappa’s Kaleb Miller had a bunt for a base hit, and played a big role in the Lower Columbia Baseball Club’s 12-0 win Monday over Kirkland, Wash. Led by locals, Lower Columbia qualifies for state tournament The Daily Astorian I SSAQUAH, Wash. — It took exactly two pitches for Astoria’s Trey Hageman to col- lect his first base hit and RBI of the day Monday, in the Lower Columbia Baseball Club’s playoff game vs. Kirkland. Hageman’s team, Hilander Dental of Longview, Washington, was facing Prep Sportswear of Kirkland in a AAA Legion baseball game, with the winner advancing to the Washington state tournament later this week. That team will be Hilander Dental, which had 14 hits in five innings, and scored a 12-0 win over Kirkland. The game was played at Issaquah High School. Clatsop County athletes were on full dis- play for Hilander Dental, the sponsor for the Lower Columbia club. Combined, the players from the North Coast (plus Naselle) had five hits and scored six runs, all in just five innings of action. In addition to the offensive explosion, Hilander pitcher Zach Brown (Wahkiakum High School) pitched a perfect game, throw- ing just 60 pitches and retiring all 15 batters he faced, with eight strikeouts. Hilander took an early 1-0 lead, when Luke Brown drew a leadoff walk, then scored when Hageman doubled to right field. Two batters later, the Clatsop Connection struck again, when Knappa’s Kaleb Miller singled to left field, scoring Hageman. Miller later scored on a double by Ben Ber- gonzine for a 3-0 advantage. Hilander picked up where it left off in the third inning, as Brycen Guttormson was hit by a pitch, and scored on two errors and a passed ball. Miller continued the Clatsop hit parade with a bunt single to lead off the third inning. He stole second and scored on another double by Bergonzine. The next batter, Knappa’s Dale Takalo, singled to left field for his only hit of the day. Later in the inning, Guttormson doubled to center field, scoring Bergonzine and pinch runner Ethan Lindstrom (from Naselle). Hilander scored six times in the inning, as Zach Brown tripled to score two runs, includ- ing Hageman, for a 10-0 lead. Lindstrom remained in the game and had a single in the fourth inning, and scored on a single by Tyler Reece. With Miller starting in the outfield, Hilan- der’s starting infield included Dale Takalo at first base, Hageman at shortstop and Seaside’s Payton Westerholm (playing his fourth game in four days) at third base. Knappa’s Ryker Coffey made an appearance as a pinch runner. The AAA Legion state tournament takes place July 28-Aug. 1 in Centralia, Washington. TOUR DE FRANCE Alaphilippe wins protest-hit stage Thomas keeps lead By TIM REYNOLDS Associated Press By ANDREW DAMPF Associated Press BAGNERES-DE-LUCHON, France — Julian Alaphilippe took advantage of his downhill skills to win the wild 16th stage of the Tour de France on Tuesday, which was briefly interrupted when police used tear gas to disperse a farmers’ protest that had blocked the road with bales of hay. The overall standings were unchanged with Geraint Thomas in the yellow jersey, second-placed Chris Froome and third-placed Tom Dumoulin each crossing 8 minutes, 52 seconds behind. Thomas remained 1 minute, 39 seconds ahead of four-time champion Froome, with Dumoulin 1:50 back. Alaphillipe took the lead when Adam Yates crashed on a technical descent in the finale. “I knew the finale was tricky,” Alaphilippe said. “I was sad for (Yates) but it could have happened to me, too, because I took a lot of risks. ... I went all out for 220 kilometers today, I’m exhausted.” Belgian rider Philippe Gilbert crashed earlier in the stage while in the lead when descending from the Col de Portet-d’Aspet, hitting a wall and flip- ping off his bike but avoiding major injury. It was the same descent where Italian rider Fabio Casartelli died in the 1995 Tour. Gilbert, the 2012 world cham- pion and a Quick-Step teammate of Alaphilippe, appeared to avoid major injuries and was treated for some scrapes on his left arm after getting back on his bike. A Frenchman, Alaphilippe also won the 10th stage and is wearing the polka-dot jersey of the mountains clas- sification leader. The farmers’ protest occurred 30 kilometers into the 135.5-mile leg from Carcassonne to Bagneres-de-Luchon. Thomas, Froome, world cham- pion Peter Sagan and other riders were treated with eye drops due to the tear gas amid a 15-minute delay.

Even he isn’t sure what’s next AP Photos/Peter Dejong France’s Julian Alaphilippe celebrates on the podium Tuesday after the sixteenth stage of the Tour de France cycling race. Riders with Britain’s Geraint Thomas, wearing the overall leader’s yel- low jersey, wait on the road after a farmer’s protest interrupted the sixteenth stage of the Tour de France. ing, French media reported. “We are not going to lock the riders in a stadium or a tennis court,” Tour director Christian Prudhomme said. “People should not block the road, no matter what causes they are fighting for.” Yates led Alaphilippe by 20 sec- onds at the top of the Col du Portillon climb 10 kilometers from the finish but lost control with 6K to go, falling to the pavement on a left turn and sliding across the road. Alaphilippe, who was already gain- ing ground on Yates, quickly passed the British rider and had time to cel- ebrate before the finish, smiling at the crowd and shaking his head in disbelief. Spanish rider Gorka Izaguirre fin- ished second, 15 seconds behind, and Yates crossed third with the same time. FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Ryan Lochte doesn’t know when he’ll be in another race. And that worries him. What’s next for Lochte is a mystery, even to himself. The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency’s decision to suspend the 12-time Olympic swimming medalist because he broke a rule by getting an intra- venous infusion of vitamins will keep him from competing in any major meet through July 2019. So essentially, the only oppo- nent he’ll be facing other than training partners as he preps for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics is rust. “I’m worried about that 100 percent,” Lochte said Monday, shortly after USADA announced his ban. “I know I’ll be able to swim in 2020, but in swimming, you have to compete. You have to race. It doesn’t matter how well you train. That doesn’t matter. It’s how you compete when you get on those starting blocks. And the less chance I have of getting on those blocks, the worse it’s going to be for me.” The suspension was handed down by anti-doping officials, who made clear that Lochte was not taking any banned substance. His mistake was getting an IV that exceeded the legal level of 100 milliliters — something he and his wife did together at a Gaines- ville, Florida, clinic on May 24 in an effort to bolster their immune systems after their infant son got sick. Lochte posted a photo of the scene on his Instagram account, and USADA opened an investiga- tion after seeing that image. Lochte cooperated with the USADA probe, but apparently was shown no leniency. His pen- alty: A 14-month sanction, going back to the date of the photo. It will cost him the chance to swim at this week’s U.S. national cham- pionships, the Pan Pacific Cham- pionships later this year, and next year’s world championships.
