The net title was shared
by the teams of Drew
VanCleave/Joel Gilliland
and Dick Hopper/Earl
Storey with 60.

HODGEN:
Continued from 1B
college paid for.”
The Australians actually
ended up out-hitting Hodgen
10-7, but seven wild pitches
and 17 walks from the
pitching staff allowed runs
in bunches and the game was
never close after a seven-run
second by Hodgen (9-11).
“I’m looking forward to
the tournament in Boise,”
Collier said. “We can play a
lot better than that.”
Quinn Doherty batted 2
for 3 and scored twice for
Hodgen, Daniel Naughton
went 1 for 1 and walked
three times, scored four times
and drove in two runs, and
Hodgen got three runs apiece
from Gabe Umbarger, Avery
Deutz and Nick Bower (1 for
1, two RBI).
Bower and Duso led the
team with two steals each.
Kevin
Shattenkirk
could’ve gotten more money
but took less to join the New
York Rangers.
Joe Thornton could’ve
gotten a multiyear deal from
someone but wanted to stay
with the San Jose Sharks.
Brian Campbell and
Patrick Sharp could’ve
gotten more money the past
two summers but took the
Chicago discount to return
the Blackhawks.
The NHL is becoming
more like the NBA with
top players forgoing longer,
big-money contracts to pick
their preferred destination, a
trend that has added a new
wrinkle to free agency.
“It’s their opportunity to
go to where they want to go
and sometimes you might
have to take a little bit less
money to go there,” Dallas
Stars general manager Jim
Nill said. “Do you want to
go to a good team? Is it a
city you want to go to? Is it
where your family wants to
be? ... It’s players finding the
right fit for where they want
to be and having the money
that they can live with.”
Shattenkirk is not exactly
LeBron James, but the New
Rochelle, New York, native

against the Columbus Blue Jackets in Washington.
filled that role on Saturday
when he turned down offers
of seven years and more than
$30 million to sign with the
Rangers for $26.6 million over
four years. The 28-year-old
defenseman felt like it may be
his only opportunity to “fulfill
a lifelong dream” and wants
to help pull off what LeBron
did in Cleveland.
“No matter where you
go you’re trying to win
your team a Stanley Cup,”
Shattenkirk said. “There’s
no better place to try to do
it for me than in New York.”
Rangers GM Jeff Gorton
praised Shattenkirk for leaving
money and years on the table,
and even New Jersey Devils
GM Ray Shero — who made
a strong push to sign the top
free agent available — gave
him credit for signing in New
York because it was “where
he wanted to be.”
The NHL’s hard salary
cap and players re-signing
to so many long-term deals
means superteams like in
the NBA won’t happen. But
where and who matters more
and more to hockey players
than simply how much and
for how long.
Thornton had more than
half the 31-team league reach
out to sign him at age 38 and
signed for $8 million for
back to Nashville,” Hartnell
said. “I wish it was October
already.”
That kind of natural excite-
ment doesn’t happen every-
where. Executives around the
league don’t begrudge players
for making personal choices.
“Players have priorities
on where they want to play:
family reasons, where teams
are, whether they’re on the
verge of winning a Stanley
Cup or a rebuilding situa-
tion,” Buffalo Sabres GM
Jason Botterill said. “I think
that happens every year.”
Some money factors
could play a role, such as
Alexander Radulov making
more in Dallas than he
would have earned on the
same contract in Montreal
or Vegas, with Tampa Bay
and Florida having a leg up
in states with no income tax.
But the Stars wouldn’t have
attracted Radulov if they
weren’t contenders.
“Trying to win is a
huge component to players
picking places,” said veteran
winger Chris Kunitz, who
won the Cup three times
with the Penguins and
signed with the Lightning. “I
think we’re all pretty fortu-
nate in what we do, but we
also want to go out there and
compete and have a chance
to win.”
one year because he simply
wanted to stay in San Jose.
“It was nice getting
courted by all these teams,
and I felt bad saying, ‘Hey
I’m going back to San Jose,’
but that’s where my heart is
and that’s where I’m happy,”
Thornton said.
Likewise, Sharp couldn’t
pass up returning to Chicago
where he was part of three
Stanley Cup teams, even
if his contract is worth just
$850,000 with performance
bonuses. Sharp said he was
“coming back to make some
more great memories and try
to help this team win another
Stanley Cup,” which Camp-
bell tried last offseason, too.
Justin Williams and his
wife bought a house near
Raleigh, North Carolina,
before signing a $9 million,
two-year deal to go back to
the Hurricanes. Ryan Miller
called it “pretty ideal” to
sign a $4 million, two-year
contract in Anaheim, close
to Hollywood where actress
wife Noureen DeWulf needs
to be often for her work.
Familiarity
with
Nashville and coach Peter
Laviolette led Scott Hartnell
to return to the Predators on
a $1 million, one-year deal,
after playing his first six
NHL seasons with them.

Cruz hits a
two-RBI sin-

the Kansas
City Royals
during the
first inning
of a base-
ball game,
Tuesday, July
4, 2017, in
Seattle.
MARINERS:
Continued from 1B
Nelson Cruz had a
two-run single off the wall
in right-center field in the
first inning — missing his
first home run in a month
by a matter of inches —
but Duffy allowed just
one other baserunner to
reach third base pitching
into the sixth. The lefty
had been on the DL since
late May with an oblique
strain, but scattered five
hits and struck out four.
Jean Segura had an
RBI single in the seventh
to pull within 6-3, helped
along by first baseman
Eric Hosmer’s throwing
error that put runners on
second and third with
just one out. Reliever
Peter Moylan got Danny
Valencia to ground into
a double play to end the
threat, started by Merri-
field’s lunging stop that
kept the grounder from
sneaking into the outfield.
Seattle has lost six
straight at home.
Hernandez struck out
five, becoming the 50th
pitcher in Major League
history to reach 2,300
strikeouts. It was the
worst of his three starts
since coming off the
disabled list. Hernandez
allowed six hits and
walked four.
TRAINER’S ROOM
Mariners:
Seattle
has shut down RHP
Hisashi
Iwakuma
(shoulder) for at least a
week after experiencing
additional discomfort in
his shoulder following a
bullpen session. Iwakuma
received a cortisone shot
and a PRP injection in
the hope of alleviating
some of the discomfort.
Iwakuma has been on the
DL since May 10.
