Newspaper Page TextA5 THE ASTORIAN • THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2020 SPORTS Dodgers win World Series By STEPHEN HAWKINS Associated Press ARLINGTON, Texas — No large dog- pile, no champagne and a mask on nearly every face — the Los Angeles Dodg- ers celebrated their ﬁ rst World Series title since 1988 in a manner no one could have imagined prior to the coronavirus pandemic. They started the party without Jus- tin Turner, too, after their red-headed star received word of a positive COVID-19 test in the middle of their clinching victory. Turner was removed from Los Ange- les’ 3-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays in Game 6 on Tuesday night after registering Major League Baseball’s ﬁ rst positive test in 59 days. He wasn’t on the ﬁ eld initially as the Dodgers enjoyed the spoils of a title earned during a most unusual season. He returned to the diamond about an hour after the game, hugging longtime teammate Clayton Kershaw and sitting front-and-center for a team photo next to manager Dave Roberts with his mask pulled down under his bushy beard. “Thanks to everyone reaching out!” Turner said on Twitter. “I feel great, no symptoms at all. Just experienced every emotion you can possibly imagine. Can’t believe I couldn’t be out there to celebrate with my guys! So proud of this team & unbelievably happy for the City of LA.” Major League Baseball insulated post- season teams in neutral-site bubbles after traveling them across the country during a shortened 60-game season.

The Astorian The fall season continued for the North Coast Merchants’ 14-and-under softball team last weekend with, of course, more wins and another ﬁ rst place tournament trophy. After winning a national title in Septem- ber, the Merchants scored four victories in four games at Campbell Park in St. Helens. North Coast swept two games apiece against the Bridgetown Bolts and the North- west Thunder. North Coast opened the weekend with an 8-1 win over Bridgetown. The Merchants scored in their ﬁ rst four at-bats, and ﬁ nished with nine hits, which included a double for Maddie Wilkin and a home run by Taeja Tuimato, who was 2-for-3 and scored twice. Bridgetown committed six errors, while Wilkin gave up ﬁ ve hits with three strikeouts and no walks. In Game 2, the Northwest Thunder com- mitted seven errors, and Taylor Pass tossed a ﬁ ve-hitter to lead the Merchants to an 11-4 win. North Coast had ﬁ ve hits of its own, led by London O’Brien (2-for-3, two doubles and two RBIs) and Tuimato (2-for-3, three runs scored). The Merchants played the same two teams on the second day , opening with a 10-6 victory over Bridgetown, as North Coast banged out 11 hits, and the Bolts com- mitted eight errors. Tuimato, Jasmine Horton and Jazmyn Short had two hits apiece, while O’Brien had a double, and Tuimato and Wilkin each had a triple. Horton and Short drove in three runs each. ﬂ agged for the coronavirus. The end of a frustrating championship drought for LA — and perhaps just the start for Mookie Betts and the Dodgers, whose seventh World Series title was their sixth since leaving Brooklyn for the West Coast in 1958. “I had a crazy feeling that came to fru- ition,” Roberts said. “It’s just a special group of players, organization, all that we’ve kind of overcome.” County reports seven new virus cases The Astorian Clatsop County reported seven new coronavirus cases over the past few days. The county reported ﬁ ve new cases on Wednesday, including a woman in her 30s, a man in his 40s and a man in his 50s living in the northern part of the county. A woman in her 40s and a woman in her 70s living in the south- ern part of the county also tested posi- tive for the virus.

North Coast pounded out another 13 hits in an 8-1, ﬁ ve-inning win over the Thunder. Wilkin pitched a one-hitter with 10 strike- outs and no walks, and also led the offense with three hits. Lily Simpson had two hits and two RBI s, O’Brien had two hits and drove in two runs with a double and Tuimato added a triple as North Coast scored ﬁ ve runs in the third inning. “Always a good way to ﬁ nish the sea- son,” said Merchant coach Ian O’Brien. “This group of girls was 25-7 on the year. We won the NAFA Oregon n ational tourna- ment, as well as their last three tournaments. Lots of growth over the year and thankful to have had the opportunity, despite COVID.” He added, “Great group of parents, kids and coaches.” CLATSOP POWER www.weberfororegon.com (503) 994-0164 suzanne@weberfororegon.com EQUIPMENT , INC.
