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.

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

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.

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

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.
