In game two, Hermiston (6-3) held an 8-2 lead at the start of the seventh and ¿nal inning, but the offense churned out 11 runs in the inning to place a big seal on the victory. Fifteen batters came to the plate during that inning as the team racked up nine hits one walk and one hit-by-pitch in the inning alone. Hermiston was led on offense by Mikayla Kopacz, Jamie Hinkley and Sydney Stefani as each player went 3-5 at the plate. Kopacz added two RBI, four runs scored, and a solo home run while Stefani added three runs and three RBIs. Hinkley also scored one run and had two RBIs. On the mound, Breanna Naylor got the start for the Bulldogs but pitched just one inning and allowed just two walks. Julissa Almaguer Softball Hermiston Reynolds 1-19 11-2 came on in relief in the second inning and pitched ¿ve strong innings allowing eight hits and two runs over that span. As active as Hermiston’s bats were in game two, they struggled mightily against the Raiders’ pitching in game one. Hermiston mustered just one hit in the game, which came off the bat of Hinkley in the third inning. Almaguer got the start on the mound in the ¿rst game, and allowed nine runs on 10 this and two walks with one strikeout over her four innings on the mound.

Pro Basketball Warriors’ home winning streak ends at 54 By JANIE MCCAULEY Associated Press OAKLAND, Calif. — Stephen Curry missed a long 3-pointer to tie it with 5.3 seconds left and the Golden State Warriors suffered their ¿rst home defeat in more than 1 months, losing 109-106 to the Boston Celtics on Friday night to snap an NBA-record 5-game winning streak in the regular season at Oracle Arena. That included 36 straight home wins to start this season. Golden State hadn’t lost at home since a 113-111 overtime defeat to the Bulls on Jan. 27, 2015. Now, the Warriors (68-8) must win ¿ve of their ¿nal six games to break the 1995-96 Bulls’ record of 72 wins. Isaiah Thomas made a driving layup with 8.3 seconds left on the way to 22 points for Boston. He scored 18 of his points in the third quarter when Curry got hot from 3-point land. Shaun Livingston hit two free throws with 6.9 seconds left to get Golden State within two at 105-103, then Draymond Green NBA Boston Golden State 109 106 wrestled the ball away from Amir Johnson moments later for his sixth steal and Golden State called timeout. But Green lost the ball with 23.9 seconds left. Evan Turner made a pair of free throws with 18.1 seconds to go before Harrison Barnes’ baseline 3 on a dish from Curry. But Curry’s ¿nal look from long range fell short on a night he had been spec- tacular from beyond the arc. Barnes grabbed the offensive rebound and missed on a desperation heave with 0.2 seconds left. Curry went coast to coast and behind his back for a layup to make it 103-101 with 1:29 to go. Boston answered once more, this time on Turner’s jumper. Curry shimmied and swiveled his hips, celebrating as 3-pointers kept ¿nding the net — he made eight of them 5K RUN, 5K WALK, 10K RUN, KID'S BUTTE SCOOT All races begin & end at Hermiston's Butte Park DRAWINGS • FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY Online registration & race information at WWW.BUTTECHALLENGE.COM REGISTER ONLINE BY APRIL 21ST TO ORDER A CUSTOM TECHNICAL RACE T-SHIRT All proceeds benefit THE HERMISTON CROSS COUNTRY PROGRAM Thank you for your support!
