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

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.”

Correction
The June 29 story “Pendleton wallops
Triangle” contained a misspelling of the
last name of a Pendleton player on the
9/10-year-old all-star team. Tugg McQuinn
was misspelled as Tugg McGuinn, and it
has been fixed in the online edition of the
story.
The East Oregonian works hard to be
accurate and sincerely regrets any errors.

Hardy held for nearly
eight years by 0.14. 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.
