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.”

MARINERS:
Continued from 1B
Los Angeles’ Parker Bridwell (2-1)
was hit hard all night in his first career
loss, surrendering 11 hits and three
home runs.
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

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.”
