A5 THE ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, JULY 28, 2020 Mayors call for limits as more police sent to Portland SPORTS By ANDREW SELSKY and ARON RANEN Associated Press Photos by Gary Henley/The Astorian Warrenton’s Hordie Bodden Bodden heads for third base during action in Saturday’s fi rst game. Warrenton improves to 7-1 in summer season The Astorian Nine players were all the Warrenton Warriors had on Saturday at Ernie Aiken Field, but nine was all they needed. The Warriors posted two more wins on their way to another impressive sweep on a full day of Junior Baseball in Astoria, where Warren- ton defeated Ilwaco 13-3 and Knappa 7-3 . Neah-Kah-Nie followed with a 7-0 victory over Knappa, and Astoria Ford capped the night with a 3-0 win over Tillamook. Dane Gouge’s Astoria Ford is sponsoring all Junior Baseball games in Astoria this summer, with three more games on tap both Tuesday and Thursday. In their two wins on Sat- urday, the Warriors gave up the fi rst run in both games, then bounced back with good pitching and a fl urry of extra base hits and base stealing to win both games. In Game 1, Ilwaco’s Kaeden Lyster drove in team- mate Jackson Wilkin to give Ilwaco the fi rst run of the day, but Warrenton scored six in the bottom of the second. Dylon Atwood had a ground rule double to left fi eld to bring in Hordie Bod- den Bodden, who came to the plate again later in the inning and belted a bases-loaded tri- ple for a 6-1 lead. In the third inning, it was Duane Falls’ turn, who blasted another bases-loaded triple to the fence to help the Warriors pull away. Bod- den Bodden had another tri- ple in the fi fth to drive in the game-ending run. “T.J. Hicks had his best day of the season, and Hordie is demonstrating the poten- tial that he has with speed and power,” said Warren- ton coach Lennie Wolfe. “The fi rst fi ve guys in our lineup, we have some very fast kids. The big part is, I’m just pleased with the commit- ment from the players of hav- ing them show up fi ve days a week. “Our pitchers are improv- ing their control with every Knappa pitcher Logan Morrill kept Warrenton scoreless over the second, third and fourth innings Saturday.

Mike Ulness pitched War- renton to the Game 1 win, and Dawson Little got the second game against Knappa. Knappa’s Tanner Jack- son had a leadoff double and scored on a sacrifi ce bunt from Mark Miller, before the Warriors took the lead for good in the bottom of the fi rst. Ryan Hoagland drew a one-out walk, advanced to third on wild pitches, and scored on a double by Falls. Atwood’s single scored Falls, and Atwood later scored on a double steal. Little had a two-run dou- ble in the fi fth, and Nathan Streibeck’s infi eld single scored Little for a 7-1 lead. Knappa pitcher Logan Morrill kept the Warriors scoreless over the second, third and fourth innings (striking out the side in the fourth), but took the loss. SEVENDAY FORECAST FOR ASTORIA TODAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY Knappa’s very young team — which will have just two returning varsity play- ers in 2021 — had just one hit in the Game 3 loss to Neah-Kah-Nie. The Pirates held a 3-0 lead through four innings, then scored four in the fi fth. Keygan Wagner was 2-for-3 and scored twice for Neah-Kah-Nie, while Pirate pitchers Eddie Loza and Wagner combined on a six-inning one-hitter, with 12 strikeouts and four walks and four hit batters. Three Logger pitchers (Kutter Ball, Mark Miller, Addison Pietila) gave up seven hits and eight walks with 10 strikeouts. PORTLAND — The mayors of six U.S. cities appealed Monday to Con- gress to make illegal for the federal government to deploy militarized federal agents to cities that don’t want them, even as the Trump administration is considering sending more of them to Portland. “This administration’s egregious use of federal force on cities over the objections of local authori- ties should never happen,” the mayors of Portland, Seattle, Chicago, Kan- sas City, Albuquerque and Washington, D.C., wrote to leaders of the U.S. House and Senate. Early Monday, U.S. agents repeatedly fi red what appeared to be tear gas, fl ash bangs and pep- per balls at protesters out- side the federal courthouse in downtown in Port- land. Some protesters had climbed over the fence sur- rounding the courthouse, while others shot fi re- works, banged on the fence and projected lights on the building. President Donald Trump said Monday on Twitter that the federal properties in Portland “wouldn’t last a day” without the presence of the federal agents. The Washington Post reported the Trump admin- istration may be sending up to 150 additional federal agents to Portland. According to an inter- nal email reviewed by The Washington Post, the U.S. Marshals Service is send- ing 100 more deputy U.S. Marshals to Portland. The Marshals appear each night wearing camoufl age. Homeland Security is considering sending about 50 additional Customs and Border Protection agents to Portland, according to an administration offi cial who spoke on condition of ano- nymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the matter. The plan has not been fi nal- ized, and it’s not clear if the FRIDAY SATURDAY offi cers would be replacing the offi cers on the ground. The Trump adminis- tration says the forces are needed in Portland to pro- tect the courthouse and other federal buildings. But the mayors said the offi cers have patrolled areas distant from the federal properties and arrested citizens with- out cause. PORTLAND HAS HAD NIGHTLY PROTESTS FOR TWO MONTHS SINCE THE DEATH OF GEORGE FLOYD IN MINNEAPOLIS IN MAY. The mayors said they support legislative efforts to require notice and con- sultation with and con- sent from local authori- ties before deployments; require visible identifi ca- tion at all times on federal agents and vehicles unless on an undercover mission authorized by the local U.S. attorney; and impose lim- itations on federal agents’ crowd control activities to protecting federal property. Some protesters have accused Mayor Ted Wheeler of hypocrisy because he has allowed Portland police to use tear PACKAGE DEALS APPLIANCE AND HOME FURNISHINGS 529 SE MARLIN, WARRENTON 503-861-0929 Over Mattresses, Furniture & More! 30 Y E A R S IN C L AT S O P COUNT Y SUNDAY MONDAY HOURS OPEN: MON-FRI 8-6 * SATURDAY * SUNDAY 10-4 We Service What We Sell REGIONAL FORECAST Shown is today’s weather.

Demonstrations in sup- port of racial justice and police reform in other cit- ies around the U.S. were hit with violence over the weekend. Protesters set fi re to an Oakland, California, courthouse; vehicles were set ablaze in Richmond, Virginia; an armed pro- tester was shot and killed in Austin, Texas; and two peo- ple were shot and wounded in Aurora, Colorado, after a car drove through a protest. Sunday evening, Port- land police responded to a shooting at a park close to the site of the overnight protests. Two people were detained and later released, police said Monday morn- ing. The person who was shot went to the hospi- tal in a private vehicle and was treated for a wound not considered life threatening. Also late Sunday, police said someone pointed out a bag in the same park, where offi cers found loaded rifl e magazines and Molotov cocktails. The shooting was not related to the items, police said. It was not clear whether the shooting or the material found in the bag was was connected to the protests. The city has had nightly protests for two months since the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis in May. Trump said he sent federal agents to Portland to halt the unrest but state and local offi cials said they are making the situation worse. APPLIANCE Astoria Ford 3, Tillamook 0 Astoria Ford pitchers Gunnar Olson and Tony Tumbarello tossed a two-hit shutout over Tillamook, 3-0, in Saturday’s fi nal game.
