Page 2B SPORTS East Oregonian MLB Braves pitcher loses no-hitter in ninth By JANIE MCCAULEY Associated Press OAKLAND, Calif. — Mike Foltynewicz heard the noise and realized it was a rare standing ovation he had earned from a road crowd. He nearly threw a no-hitter, and even the home fans appreci- ated his performance. Foltynewicz lost his no-hit bid when Matt Olson clobbered a full-count pitch into the elevated right-field seats leading off the ninth inning of the Braves’ 3-1 interleague victory over the Oakland Athletics on Friday night. “It was very weird, after about the seventh or eighth (inning) our side of the dugout was getting very loud,” Foltynewicz said. “I was like, ‘This is weird,’ but it was a very cool feeling getting taken out and all that stuff. It’s something I’ll never forget.” Trying for just the the 25-year-old right- major leagues’ second hander, a four-year no-hitter of the season, veteran making his Foltynewicz (6-5) 52nd big league start. struck out eight and Gray (3-4) retired his walked four while final 14 batters. pitching into the ninth Miami’s Edison for the first time and Volquez no-hit Arizona outdueling Sonny Gray. on June 3.

Catcher Mike Zunino started Seattle’s scoring with a solo home run in the third. Kyle Seager added a solo shot in the ninth, his 10th on the season. Ben Gamel and Seager each had four hits, while Cano had three. Cano hit a three-run homer off Bridwell that broke open the game in the fifth and a two-run shot off Yusmeiro Petit in the seventh. Petit had not allowed a run in his last seven appearances. The Mariners finished with 17 hits. Reliever Max Povse threw the final two innings to complete Seattle’s seventh shutout of the season. It was also the seventh time the Angels have been shut out this year. TRAINER’S ROOM Mariners: Rookie RHP Andrew Moore is scheduled to be called up from Triple-A Tacoma and start Monday in Seattle against the Royals, moving Felix Hernandez back to Tuesday to gain an extra day of rest. Moore could become a regular member of the rotation. Angels: OF Mike Trout took a strong batting practice on the field for the first time since his May 31 thumb surgery. Manager Mike Scioscia said he would need a minimum of three more such sessions before going on a rehab assignment. . RHP Bud Norris is expected to rejoin the bullpen Saturday after throwing a scoreless inning in a Class-A rehab appearance Thursday. UP NEXT Mariners: Rookie RHP Sam Gavi- glio (3-2) is scheduled to make his 10th start Saturday against the Angels. It will be his first career appearance against the Angels. Has a 3.32 ERA as a starter. Angels: RHP Ricky Nolasco (3-9), coming off his best outing of the season, is scheduled to start Saturday against the Mariners. Nolasco threw 6 1/3 scoreless innings against the Dodgers on Monday, allowing five hits and two walks with five strikeouts. BABE RUTH: Addition of Haguewood to board could be key move Continued from 1B athletes with the top 15-year- olds either going to travel teams or playing on the Legion teams. Around six years ago, Pendleton residents Dean Foquette and Neal Simpson, both of whom had previ- ously been involved with Babe Ruth for many years, decided they had a duty to get involved again to help save the league. “It was probably about a smidge away from going away,” Foquette said of the league. “Babe Ruth has sort of died out every where, but what’s happened is these travel teams have come and taken over recreational leagues and Babe Ruth was built to give every kid an opportunity to play ball and that’s what it’s done. “We got involved again because we didn’t want it going away.” Babe Ruth baseball has been a staple at Bob White Ballpark for many decades, but the league’s ties to the city are older than that. Foquette recalled the days when he was an eligible kid in the 1960s, when high school baseball was played at the Round-Up Grounds and Babe Ruth baseball was played on a field where the Indian Village currently sits. “Every day at Noon about 1961 or 1962,” Foquette recalled, “well Lyle Phelps, who later coached the high school team, he ran the Babe Ruth league. He would gather us kids we’d pick two captains, we’d choose up our teams and play our Babe Staff photo by E.J. Harris Members of the Milton-Freewater City Lights team eat hamburgers during a BBQ before the start of the Pendleton Babe Ruth Baseball League’s championship game. Ruth baseball games. Every kids always got a chance to play.” And Foquette and Simpson, along with the numerous other volunteers and board members, still want every kid to have a chance to play, which is why they’re trying to build the league back up. And at a quick glance, it appears the foundation to build it back up could be started. While they’re still battling a declining number of overall participants, the number of teams has slowly risen with four teams from Pend- leton — the Thompson RV Athletics, Big John’s Pizza Red Sox, Kiwanis Dodgers and Hodgen Distributing White Sox — the league also opened up and now has teams from Pilot Rock (Byrnes Oil Cubs), Athena (Coca-Cola Nationals), and Milton-Freewater (City Lights). The league also brought on Pendleton varsity base- ball head coach T.J. Hague- wood to help run the league. In the past, the league has butted heads at times with the high school program and summer Legion baseball programs, but having the high school coach a part of the league could be a crucial move. And after growing up playing in the Babe Ruth league and now spending one year running it, Hague- wood knows the importance of the league for the kids in Pendleton and for the future of his high school program as well. “Kids develop at different ages. You never know who’s going to be the varsity contributors down the line,” Haguewood said. “I was a small guy myself and developed a little later. And whether we still call it Babe Ruth or just Pendleton baseball, we’re committed to having a solid program which is why I wanted to jump in and see it through.” There were 86 kids that competed on the seven Babe Ruth teams this season for the 10-week season from mid-April till the end of June, and one of those was Jimmy Jones, a Pendleton resident that played on the Thompson RV Athletics and helped his team win the championship on Thursday. Jones’ talents stand out to anyone watching him, with his speed, solid pitching skills and good defense, and he said after the game that he owes a lot of that to the Babe Ruth League. “Honestly it’s extremely important to me to play here,” he said. “The more games and more practices is great for us, and the better baseball player I can be to help succeed in life means a lot to me.” Jones’ coach, James Drake, said that Babe Ruth baseball is crucial for not only kids like Jones to develop more, but also kids that may have another year or two until they really hit their stride. “This league is important for the kids that aren’t on travel teams to develop not only as ballplayers but to love the game,” he said. “Not a lot of people like baseball anymore, so you find some kids and get them interested and pick it up and either excel or maybe be a coach like me and keeps the game alive.” Now that the Babe Ruth League has life again in Pendleton, the board members are trying to figure out ways to get it growing again, though they know it will not be easy. But they believe that the key to growing it might be leaving the comfort zone of Pend- leton. “This year we took in Milton-Freewater and Athena and hopefully they can stay,” Simpson said. “And I think going outside our core group and maybe get something from Herm- iston again and get it up to a eight, nine or even 10 team league and then that builds its own inertia so to speak.” “We’ve had teams in Hermiston, Boardman, Irrigon, they’re out there and everybody’s looking for games,” Foquette said. “I could see maybe Pendleton and Hermiston merging their thoughts to have games at both places, that’s probably the only way to grow it is go outside of here because there’s too many things pulling and tugging to do other than play baseball in the summer.” Simpson and Foquette also hope that the cost differential can be a benefit for Babe Ruth. Where travel teams can bring costs of hundreds or even thousands of dollars per season and many hours on the road, the cost for Babe Ruth league stands at $50 per player with very limited if no travel. “We just want an oppor- tunity for all kids to play baseball,” Foquette said. And for Haguewood, he’s looking forward to helping mold his future Buckaroos for the forseeable future. “The high school team is only as successful as our younger programs,” he said. “There are a lot of people that donate time and effort at Babe Ruth and even little league and I think that is what sets us apart. Pendleton baseball has been in good hands for many years and hopefully more to come.” SCOREBOARD Baseball MLB AMERICAN LEAGUE East Division W L Pct GB Boston 45 35 .563 — New York 43 35 .551 1 Tampa Bay 42 40 .512 4 Baltimore 39 40 .494 5½ Toronto 37 42 .468 7½ Central Division W L Pct GB Cleveland 42 36 .538 — Minnesota 40 38 .513 2 Kansas City 39 39 .500 3 Detroit 35 43 .449 7 Chicago 35 44 .443 7½ West Division W L Pct GB Houston 54 27 .667 — Los Angeles 42 42 .500 13½ Seattle 40 41 .494 14 Texas 39 41 .488 14½ Oakland 35 45 .437 18½ ——— Friday’s Games Cleveland at Detroit, ppd.
