PREPS: Pioneers take two UConn’s winning streak ends
Continued from 1B
PENDLETON
10,
CALDWELL 6 — At Boise,
Idaho, Austin Zaugg pitched
four innings of relief without
allowing an earned run and
Daniel Naughton hit a single
to drive in the tying and
winning run as Pendleton
snapped a five-game losing
streak in its first game at the
Buck’s Bags Tournament on
Friday.
Naughton (2 for 3)
brought in Parker Smith (2
for 2) and Cam Sandford to
make it 7-6 in the bottom of
the fifth inning, and Shaw
Jerome (2 for 5) then scored
on a sacrifice fly by Nick
Bower.
“That was a good come-
from-behind win,” said
Pendleton coach T.J. Hague-
wood. “We got some timely
hits and had good intensity
in the dugout helping each
other along.”
A single by Jerome and
a double by Naughton then
added two more runs in the
sixth, but Pendleton (2-7)
didn’t need them as it played
good defense behind Zaugg.
A double play on a
ground-out to Naughton at
short ended the top of the
sixth. After getting the force at
second the Bucks caught the
lead runner getting greedy and
tagged him after a rundown
between third and home.
Zaugg
allowed
one
unearned run on four hits and
three walks, with one strikeout.
Hayden Villers (2 for 3)
played a key role for the
Bucks early in the game and
drove in two runs in the first
and one in the fourth.

PENDLETON
4
(6
innings) — At Boise, Idaho,
Pendleton created plenty of
opportunities but stranded
10 runners to fall to Wood
River out of Hailey, Idaho, in
its second game the Buck’s
Bags Tournament on Friday.
Wood River ended up
with 12 runners left on, but
answered Pendleton’s run in
the bottom of the first off a
Nick Bower double with three
runs in the top of the second
and led the rest of the way.
Pendleton (2-8) pulled
within 5-4 in the bottom
of the fifth when Bower
(2 for 4) scored on a wild
pitch followed by Ryan
Russell scoring from third
on an error, but Pendleton
struck out three times with
runners in scoring position
in the sixth and left the bases
loaded. The game ended
there due to a time limit.
Austin Zaugg (2 for 2)
and Shaw Jerome (2 for 3)
led Pendleton at the plate and
Russell got his first start of
the season on the mound. He
allowed three runs on six hits
and two walks with a pair of
strikeouts, but Pendleton’s
bullpen struggled when he
left after three complete and
needed 80 pitches to get
through the next 2 1/3 inning.

13-15,
HEPPNER 7-5 — At
Heppner, six-run innings by
the Trojans put the Mustangs
into holes they wouldn’t
climb out of on Friday in
non-league baseball action.
Kennedy (7-2) scored six
in the fifth to pull away late
in Game 1 to win 13-7, and
then answered Heppner’s big
first inning in Game 2 with
six runs in the second and
added eight more in the third
to get a big lead in a 15-5 win
in five innings.
Heppner (1-4) had pulled
within 5-4 in the bottom of
the fourth in Game 1 when
Beau Wolters (3 for 3) hit
an RBI double. Kennedy
scored all six of its runs in
the sixth with two outs when
three straight walks pushed
the first run across the plate,
then two singles, an error
and another single brought
the rest in.
It was another Wolters
double followed by an error
and singles by Kannon
Wilkins and Matt Orem that
put Heppner up 4-1 after one
in Game 2, but Kennedy’s
second featured seven hits,
three hit batters and a walk.

Ostrom struck out 10 batters
and the defense came to her aid
in the fourth to shut out Echo
during their softball game
at the Union Tournament on
Friday at Pioneer Park.
Pilot Rock (5-1) scored
twice in the first inning for
an early lead, but Echo (2-3)
threatened it in the fourth but
shortstop Bekah Roe scooped
up a grounder and threw it to
catcher Rhyanne Oates to get
an out at the plate. Then when
the Cougars got two on with
one out in the sixth, Ostrom
struck out the next two batters
to erase that threat.
She finished with no
walks by did hit one batter,
and also batted 2 for 3. Roe
went 3 for 4.

It was a back-and-forth
game and Jordyn Lambert

Associated Press
DALLAS — UConn’s
record 111-game winning
streak came to a startling
end when Mississippi State
pulled off perhaps the
biggest upset in women’s
basketball history, stunning
the Huskies 66-64 on
Morgan William’s overtime
buzzer beater in the national
semifinals Friday night.
William hit a 15-footer to
cap it, moments after a replay
review awarded UConn two
free throws for a flagrant 1
foul call that tied the game
with 26.6 seconds left.
“I live for moments
like this,” William said.
“UConn, they’re an incred-
ible team. For me to make
that shot against them, it’s
unbelievable. I’m still in
shock right now. I wanted
to take the shot. I wanted to
take the shot and I made it.”

Auriemma had a wry smile
on his face after the final
shot. There wasn’t much else
he could do, the chance for
a fifth straight national title
suddenly beyond his grasp.
The Huskies hadn’t lost
in 865 days, with that defeat
coming to Stanford in over-
time on Nov. 17, 2014.
“We had an incredible
run, but we came up against
a much better team tonight,”
Auriemma said.
The Bulldogs (34-4) will
play South Carolina for
the national championship
Sunday night in a matchup
of two SEC teams.
Mississippi State (33-5)
and UConn met in the
Sweet 16 last season and
the Huskies won by 60
points — the most-lopsided
win in regional semifinals
history. All season long the
Bulldogs had that humili-
ating loss on their minds.
Now they’ve erased
that defeat, beating UConn
(36-1) on the grandest stage
in one of the sport’s greatest
games.
“I don’t have to play them
100 times. Only have to beat
them once,” Mississippi
State coach Vic Schaefer
said. “That is one heck of a
basketball team, the greatest
of all-time. But how proud
am I of my kids?”
Mississippi State led
64-62 before a replay review
gave Katie Lou Samuelson
the two free throws that tied
the game. After a UConn
turnover, William held the
ball at the top of the key
before dribbling to her right
and pulling up for the shot,
with the ball in the air when
the buzzer sounded.
