BABE RUTH: Red Sox had tying run at second in seventh inning The Thomp- son RV Ath- letics pose with their champion- ship T-shirts after beat- ing the Big John’s Red Sox 9-8 to capture the Pendleton Babe Ruth League champi- onship on Thursday at Bob White Ballpark. Continued from 1B ready to go for today and he helped us win it.” Both teams offenses took advantage of some incon- sistent pitching and spotty defense early, combining for 11 runs in the first two innings. The Red Sox opened the scoring in the first inning when Aiden Gunter hit a two-out, two-run single up the middle for a 2-0 lead. In the bottom half, the Athletics responded with three runs of their own when Ty Beers hit a two-run double to right field and then Jack Monkman followed with an RBI single for a 3-2 lead. Athletics starting pitcher Beers then began to have control issues in the second inning, as he walked three and hit a batter and then gave up an RBI single to Brogan Biggerstaff and walked in a run to put Big John’s back on top 5-3. “The team we played, they’re a great team,” Drake said of the Red Sox, “and we had games like this every time we played them. It was a toss-up tonight and could Staff photo by Eric Singer of went either way. It was a fun game to be a part of.” But once again, Thompson RV answered right back when Jackson Davis, Josh Whaley, Sid Davis and Grady Naughton rattled off four-straight singles and then Jones hit an RBI groundout to put the Athletics up 6-5. After trading two runs in the third and fourth innings, the Red Sox tied the game in the top of the fifth when Biggerstaff smacked an RBI single to score Carson Moore to even the score at 8-8. Biggerstaff was the top offensive performer for the Red Sox, reaching base safely in all four plate appearances with two walks, two hits, two RBI and one run scored. But after that hit, Jones retired six straight batters and allowed his offense to get going again. After a scoreless fifth, the Athletics re-took the lead for good in the sixth inning, when Monkman scored from third base on a passed ball for the 9-8 advantage. The Red Sox had a chance to tie the game in the seventh, when Max Cary hit a two-out double to center field and represented the tying run just 180 feet away. “I’m not going to lie, I was pretty nervous there,” Jones said of the situation. “But I’m glad I shook it off, got in the zone and did my thing.” And Jones closed the door, inducing a groundball to second base for the third out to clinch the champion- ship. “I think I had more fun than the kids did,” Drake said. “This is what every kid sets out to do. You want to develop kids and teach them the game, but it’s always fun to win too. “We played hard and finished it out and props to the kids, they did it all, I just stood there and coached.” ———— Championship E BJR 232 010 0 — 8 8 4 TRA X — 9 9 3 330 201 R H ———— Contact Eric at esinger@ eastoregonian.com or 541-966-0839.

King also could be heading to Hungary with the No. 1 time in the event this year after passing her Russian rival Yulia Efimova, who started the day in the No. 1 spot with a time of 29.88. Katie Meili, an Olympic gold medalist like King, finished in 30.11. King has qualified in two individual events and the Indiana University star will chase her third win in three nights when she competes in her specialty, the 100 back Friday. She was only part of the speedy equation in Indianapolis, though. The U.S. men produced world-best times in three of the night’s four events and set a championship record in the other one. Chase Kalisz started the impressive run in the men’s 400 individual medley, finishing in 4:06.99 — the first sub 4:07 in the world in 2017. Second-place finisher Jay Litherland, Kalisz’s team- mate at Georgia, wound up second in 4:09.31, No. 4 in the world. Event winners auto- matically qualify for the U.S. team. The runner-ups must wait for the selection process to end before finding out if they make the team. Caeleb Dressel followed suit in the men’s 100 butterfly, winning in 50.87 to become the first swimmer to crack the 51-second mark this year. Twenty-six-year old Tim Phillips was second in 51.30, the third-fastest time in the world. Dressel has qualified in three individual events for the worlds — the 100 free and the 50 and 100 fly, where he’s like to square off with rival Joseph Schooling of Singapore. Kevin Cordes set a championship record by beating Andrew Wilson with a time of 26.88 in the men’s 50 breast, No. 3 in the world, and 19-year-old Justin Ress closed it out with another world-best performance in the 50 backstroke. He beat two Olympic gold medalists, Ryan Murphy and Matt Grevers, with a time of 24.41 — and surpassed China’s Xu Jiayu for the No. 1 spot. Murphy finished second in 24.64 while Grevers was third in 24.67. Sale In Progress Saager’s Shoe Shop Up to 50% Off Milton-Freewater, OR
