Page 2B SPORTS East Oregonian Saturday, June 3, 2017 MLS Valeri scores twice to lead Timbers over Earthquakes Associated Press Staff photo by E.J. Harris The Pilot Rock softball team poses with its second-place trophy and medals after finishing runner-up to North Douglas at the OSAA 2A/1A Softball State Champion- ship on Friday at OSU Softball Complex in Corvallis. CHAMPIONSHIP: Portland San Jose 2 0 Bingham and off the inside of the post. The Timbers sealed the win in the last minute of stoppage time. A short- range shot from Adi hit the post, but bounced right to Valeri, who slid to knock the ball into an open net for his team-leading 8th goal of the season. Portland (6-5-3) ended MLB Continued from 1B Stacy Fitzpatrick had runners at second and third with two outs. Brielle Howland, a courtesy runner for Ostrom, attempted to score from third on a wild pitch but she was tagged at the plate to end the inning. Ostrom gave everything she had to try and match Derrick in the circle for the Rockets, which made for an entertaining afternoon. The Rockets’ senior struck out nine and walked two, while giving up eight hits and two earned runs. “She had a great game,” Fitzpatrick said. “She’s a tough kid who always plays good in big games and she was out there fighting today. Maybe I made some mistakes in calling pitches but I was proud of her.” Knotted at 1-1 in the sixth, North Douglas got to Ostrom with a one-out double by catcher Nikki Toy and then an intentional walk to Derrick. Ostrom then got a big strikeout to stand one out away from escaping the jam, however back-to-back singles by Amy Dooley and Erika Dickey drove in a pair of runs to give the Warriors a 3-1 lead. Pilot Rock showed it might not take long to answer as Bekah Roe drilled a triple to right-center field to lead off the bottom of the sixth. But Derrick settled in and attacked the Rockets, inducing and infield pop fly, a strikeout and a lazy ground-ball out to leave Roe stranded. PORTLAND — Diego Valeri scored two goals to give the Portland Timbers a 2-0 victory over the short- handed San Jose Earth- quakes on Friday night. Valeri opened the scoring in the 50th minute, knocking a pass from Zarek Valentin towards Fanendo Adi with his chest, then continuing his run. Instead of playing the ball, Adi stepped to the side and let Valeri run onto his own pass, where he slid an 18-yard shot past San Jose goalkeeper David a five-game winless streak and got a measure of revenge after a 3-0 loss in San Jose in the teams’ last meeting last month. The Earthquakes (5-6- 4), losers of two straight, played down a man for 53 minutes after Darwin Ceren earned two yellow cards in the span of a minute. Portland goalkeeper Jake Gleeson had a quiet night while earning his second shutout of the season, needing to make only one save on five attempted shots. Bingham made six saves on 22 shots in a losing effort. Mariners use long ball to beat Rays By TIM BOOTH Associated Press Staff photo by E.J. Harris Pilot Rock’s Bekah Roe strains as she runs to third base after hitting a triple to lead off the bottom of the sixth inning for Pilot Rock in the 2A/1A softball state cham- pionship against North Douglas on Friday in Corvallis. “I had been thinking about putting on a squeeze or some- thing there,” Fitzpatrick said, “but we had our 2-3-4 hitters coming up and Rhyanne had just had her big hit and I felt confident. But that’ll be something I’ll think about for a while I’m sure.” In the bottom of the seventh, the Rockets again started the inning off with a base hit as Shayla Walker lined one to left field. But she would not get past second base as the Rockets find hits, with Derrick striking out pinch hitter Jillian Adlard to end the game and seal the title. ——— 2A/1A title R H E ND 000 102 0 — 3 8 0 PR 000 100 0 — 1 4 1 W — N.

SEATTLE — Danny Valencia hit a three-run homer and tied a career high with five RBIs, Taylor Motter connected for a first-inning grand slam off Jake Odor- izzi, and the Seattle Mariners routed the Tampa Bay Rays 12-4 on Friday night. Seattle jumped on Odorizzi (3-3) for five runs in the first, although none were earned after Brad Miller’s error at second base helped create the big inning. Valencia started his night with a two-out, bases- loaded walk and Motter followed with his second slam of the season. He also hit one April 23 at Oakland. While Motter’s sixth homer staked Seattle to a big early lead, Valencia’s fifth home run broke the game open. Despite being out in front on a breaking ball, Valencia was able to keep his bat back long enough to line Odorizzi’s final pitch into the left-field bullpen for a three-run shot and an 8-0 advantage. Valencia added an RBI single as part of Seattle’s four-run seventh to match his career high. Valencia’s last five-RBI game also came against Tampa Bay last season. That was plenty of offense for Seattle starter Christian Bergman, who pitched well AP Photo/Elaine Thompson Tampa Bay Rays’ Kevin Kiermaier (39) slides safely into second base ahead of a tag from Seattle Mari- ners shortstop Taylor Motter on a double during the third inning of a baseball game Friday, June 2, 2017, Tampa Bay Seattle 4 12 for the third time in his last four starts. Bergman (3-2) threw seven shutout innings against Boston in his previous outing and followed up by allowing just a pair of solo home runs over six innings against the Rays. With the exception of a 10-1 loss at Washington, where Bergman allowed 14 hits and all 10 runs, the right-hander has been outstanding since being plugged into a Mariners rotation decimated by injuries. Colby Rasmus and Tim Beckham hit back-to-back homers off Bergman in the fourth, and Kevin Kiermaier added a two-run shot off reliever James Pazos in the seventh. It was the first time since late in the 2012 season that Odorizzi failed to finish at least three innings in a game when he wasn’t injured. Odorizzi left a start earlier this season against Boston after the first pitch of the second with a hamstring strain. He had pitched at least six innings in six of his nine starts entering Friday. UP NEXT Rays: Alex Cobb (4-4) looks for his first win since May 17. Mariners: Sam Gaviglio (1-1) goes for his second career victory. BEAVERS: Politz throws complete game for Yale Oregon State’s Jake Thomp- son pitches against Holy Cross during an NCAA col- lege baseball tournament re- gional game in Corvallis, Ore., Friday, June 2, 2017. Continued from 1B and 2007 have made the postseason 17 times with a 52-33 overall record. It is the sixth time they will host a regional, and they’re 27-6 in postseason play at home. This season the Crusaders won their first-ever Patriot League title since the school joined the confer- ence in 1986. Holy Cross won the NCAA title in 1952. Andy Cripe/The Corvallis Gazette-Times via AP YALE 5, NEBRASKA 1 — Griffin Dey drove in two runs with a single in the first inning and Yale beat Nebraska 5-1 on Friday in the opening game of the Corvallis Regional. Sophomore Scott Politz (11-2) pitched a complete game, allowing one run on six hits for the Bull- dogs, the regional’s No. 3 seed. Yale (33-16) is making its first appearance in the postseason since 1994. Jake Meyers (8-2) allowed five runs on nine hits through 5 2/3 innings for the Huskers, making their third postseason appearance in five years. Luis Alvarado hit an RBI single in the bottom of the first for the Huskers (35-20-1). Andrew Herrera added a solo home run for the Bulldogs in the second for a 3-1 lead.
