A ground out, Correa single and fly out gave them one on with two outs, but Taylor Hamby kept them alive with a single and Morgan Orem was hit by a pitch to load to bases and bring up DeLoach, who also pitched a complete game and finished 3 for 5 at the plate. Correa (3 for 4) and Dakota Durfey (2 for 4) also had multiple hits in the second game, and Heppner totaled 31 for the afternoon.

ECHO 4, BONANZA 0 — At Echo, a strong perfor- mance from Echo pitchers Kenzie Gonzales and Alyssa Ray boosted the Cougars to a shutout 4-0 non-league victory over Bonanza on Friday, March 31, 2017 Thursday. Gonzales got the win for Echo (2-2) as she allowed just one hit and four walks with six strikeouts over 5 2/3 innings in the circle. Ray pitched 1 1/3 innings for the save, giving up just one walk with three strikeouts. Echo coach Javier Garcia said that Gonzales’ only hit allowed was in the first inning, and that she found success in the circle by not pitching scared. “The first pitch strike is always key and she was aggressive there,” Garcia said. “She pitched to contact and our infield stayed busy.” Gonzales also gave herself a cushion in the first inning as she drove in a pair of runs with a double, which proved to be all the support she would need. Also having solid days at the plate were Kendra Hart (2 for 2 with 2 singles) and Monique Montoya (2 for 3, RBI). UP NEXT Echo heads to La Grande to play in the Union Spring Bash, where it will face Pilot Rock (1 p.m.) and Union (5 p.m.) in a doubleheader today. ——— R H E BHS 000 000 0 — 0 1 2 ECH 200 110 X — 4 7 1 (ECH) K.

Federer to semis, Wozniacki makes Miami final By TIM REYNOLDS Associated Press KEY BISCAYNE, Fla. — Roger Federer’s run at the Miami Open was one point from ending. Down 6-4 in a third-set tiebreaker to Tomas Berdych, the situation was officially dire. Yet even in that moment, Federer still felt some hope. “I had belief I could turn it around, even then,” he said. Somehow, he was right, and his stellar start to 2017 continued. The fourth-seeded Federer fought off those two match points and beat the 10th-seeded Berdych 6-2, 3-6, 7-6 (6) in the quarterfinals on Thursday — avenging a third-set tiebreak loss to Berdych at Key Biscayne seven years ago in a match he still thinks he should have won. “I got incredibly lucky,” Federer said. “Could have gone either way. Felt like maybe this one I should have lost.” Federer feels right at home at Key Biscayne, and so does Caroline Wozniacki — with good reason, since she some- times practices at the facility. The 12th-seeded Wozniacki, a part-time South Florida resi- dent, made the women’s final for the first time in 10 tries by topping second-seeded Karo- lina Pliskova 5-7, 6-1, 6-1. Wozniacki will play No. Continued from 1B 3-pointers.

Rockets coach Mike D’Antoni praised Harrell for how he has handled being Continued from 1B AP Photo/Charlie Riedel, File In this March 25, 2017, file photo, Oregon players cele- brate at the end of the team’s Midwest Regional final against Kansas in the NCAA tournament, in Kansas City, Mo. of hundreds of millions. At Maryland, Under Armour owner Kevin Plank recently gave $25 million to go toward a redo of Cole Field House . It may not come as a coin- cidence that Under Armour is also taking nibbles out of Nike’s dominance in the college-sponsorship apparel market. Two years ago, Nike sponsored 48 of the 68 teams in March Madness, according to Sports Busi- ness Daily. This year, it’s 40. Under Armour is also making a debut of sorts at the Final Four, as apparel maker for South Carolina, which has both its men’s and women’s team in the title hunt. But Nike has been in this business since it began, and the last of the men’s quarters, a match that lasted 2 1/2 hours. Kyrgios had 16 aces, no double faults and never faced a break point, though his 19-year-old opponent saved five match points before falling. Like Federer, Wozniacki rallied, albeit with far less drama. She won 12 of the last 14 games. “I got a good start to the second set and that kind of got me fired up,” Wozniacki said. This will be the second consecutive time two double- digit seeds make the women’s final at Key Biscayne, after No. 13 Victoria Azarenka beat No. 15 Svetlana Kuznetsova a year ago. BLAZERS: Will host reeling Suns on Saturday the team’s third center. “You can sweet-talk it, but reality is what it is and he’s accepted it,” D’Antoni said. “He keeps working with John Lucas, keeps getting better. He’s trying to improve his 3-point shooting. That way we can move him over to the 4 some. If he can do that, that will open up some space for him. I have nothing but good things to say about him. He’s been OREGON: New arena built with Nike’s donation on. At Oregon, their hat is a Nike-branded hat.” He’s hardly one-dimen- sional: Knight also recently contributed $500 million to build Oregon’s applied sciences research center, one-upping himself on the $400 million he gave to Stanford, where he studied business, to establish a grad- school scholarship program. But his biggest footprint has come in sports, where the company he co-founded five-plus decades ago is a leader in dozens of areas, not the least of which are basket- ball shoes and apparel. No surprise, then, that it was Oregon that first took a chance with a wide-ranging palette of get-your-sun- glasses-out uniforms, all in neon-shaded hues of the school colors — green and gold. These days, dozens of schools feature those sort of uniforms. “You can’t market the players, you can only market the program,” marketing expert Joe Favorito said. “They recognized that those bright and unique colors help connect to the younger audience.” Knight, who Nike offi- cials said was not giving interviews this week, is hardly alone as a big-name, big-money donor at a major school. T. Boone Pickens subsi- dizes Oklahoma State’s athletic program to the tune 10 Johanna Konta in Satur- day’s championship match. Konta topped No. 11 Venus Williams 6-4, 7-5 in the second semifinal, one that ended just after midnight. “This is one of the few tournaments where I’ve never made a finals,” Wozniacki said. “I think my best result here was semifinals five years ago. It’s always been a tournament where I wouldn’t say I struggle, but I’ve just not had the results I wanted.” Federer improved to 17-1 this year and will face No. 12 Nick Kyrgios in the semifi- nals on Friday. Kyrgios defeated 16th-seeded Alexander Zverev 6-4, 6-7 (9), 6-3 in has been pumping money into Oregon’s programs throughout the 2000s. In 2001, Oregon reset the template on how to market a Heisman Trophy candidate, while also increasing its national profile, by spending $250,000 to splash quar- terback Joey Harrington’s likeness on a 10-story billboard in Times Square. “Joey Heisman,” the sign read. From there, things only got bigger. Among Knight’s invest- ments were $30 million toward renovating the score- board at Autzen Stadium, $41.7 million for an academic center for athletes and $68 million toward a new football training facility. “For the most part, the scholarships at these schools are all the same, they cover the same elements of someone’s life,” said Dan Rascher, director of academic programs for the Sport Management Program at University of San Francisco. “It can be hard to differentiate. So all these little things end up becoming important.” They add up to big things, and the arena is one of the best-outfitted in the country. Opened in 2011, it cost $227 million and stood as the most expensive on-campus arena in the United States. The details are pains- taking: The lettering on the marquee spells out “Matt” — “in a Japanese-inspired Torii gate shape,” according to the arena website . There’s artwork outside the arena and fan-tribute displays on the concourse. The floor, emblazoned with the “Matt” logo set above the words “Deep in the Woods” is designed with the silhouette of a Pacific Coast tree line, in honor of Oregon’s 1939 title team, known as The Tall Firs . A few years ago at a basketball game, Oregon held “Uncle Phil Appreci- ation Night” for Knight’s 76th birthday. Maybe they can hold another one at the Final Four, too. “Phil Knight is one of the legends,” Ducks guard Tyler Dorsey said. “It’s great having him on our side.” terrific.” ... D’Antoni said the Rockets plan to rest backup center Nene on Friday. Blazers: They’ve impressed D’Antoni, who praised his coaching counter- part, Terry Stotts, saying the Blazers are a much different team than the one they faced on Nov. 27. “Nurkic has helped give them new life,” D’Antoni said. “They’re a lot different now, they’re a lot better right now. Terry has done a great job, as he always does. This is really good what he’s done.” UP NEXT Rockets: Head to Oakland on Friday to face the Golden State Warriors, who beat them 113-106 Tuesday in Houston. Blazers: Host the Phoenix Suns on Saturday night. AP AWARDS: Auriemma wins top coach award for ninth time in career Continued from 1B Plum, the 5-foot-7 Wash- ington star, received 30 of the 33 votes for the award after dominating college basketball throughout her senior season. She broke the career NCAA scoring mark, topping Jackie Stiles’ 16-year old record in style with a 57-point effort on her senior night. She finished her career with 3,498 points and helped lead Washington to the Final Four as a junior before seeing her career end in the regional semifinals this season. She is the first player from the school to win the award. “If you had told me that all this stuff would have happened to me personally, I would have laughed at you,” Plum said. “Not the sense that I didn’t believe in myself or anything like that. But it’s not something that you think about. I’m the all-time leading scorer in college basketball and it’s something I never dreamed about.” On the coaching side, Few has taken the Zags to the NCAA Tournament in all 18 of his seasons there. He was a runaway winner Thursday receiving 31 votes from the panel. Sean Miller of Arizona received eight votes for the coach award while Chris Collins of Northwestern had seven and SMU’s Tim Jankovich got six. Gonzaga is the only head coaching job Few has had and he has compiled a 502-112 record. The Zags have reached the West Coast Conference Tournament final in all of Few’s seasons. He is the first WCC coach to win the award since Bob Gaillard of San Francisco in 1977. Auriemma did laugh before the season at the notion his Huskies, who lost three All-Americans to graduation, would be unde- feated this year. He thought there was no way that the team’s 75-game winning streak would continue that much longer. Not with a schedule filled with top teams. Yet UConn met every challenge and enter the Final Four without a loss, winners of 111 straight games. Auriemma garnered 26 of the votes for coach of the year. Oregon State’s Scott Rueck was second with three while Drake’s Jennie Baranczyk received two. Duke’s Joanne P. McCallie and Mississippi State’s Vic Schaefer each received one vote.
