Bulldogs rack up
17 hits in Game 2
East Oregonian
TROUTDALE — After
dropping game one of a
Friday doubleheader with the
Reynolds Raiders 11-1, the
Hermiston Bulldogs bounced
back in a big way in Game 2
to take a 19-2 victory.
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

Reynolds

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. Taylor
Betz pitched just 0.1 innings
in relief, allowing four hits
and two runs before the game
was called due to the 10-run
rule.

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

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
