BUCKS: Pendleton was led by three shooters who combined for 46 points
For the Bucks, the win
comes a week after a loss to
Baker that broke their seven-
game winning streak.
Pendleton now turns back
to league play and hopes to
defend its CRC title, and to
do so injury free which hasn’t
also been the case this year.
Most notably, McGlothan
sat out the first month of the
season due to injury.
“It scares me to death that
somebody might get hurt and
that I might lose somebody
for league play,” Porter said
of a non-league contest in
the middle of league games.
“The sad reality is that there
can be a gap in our schedule
this time in our league play
so we’ve had non-league
game in there the last couple
of years.”
The Bucks came out of
Tuesday’s contest scot free
and will now get to the brunt
of their CRC schedule.
Up first, a road trip to The
Dalles on Friday.

known in the paint, getting
four of her seven first-half
points from putbacks.
Despite the 40-29 deficit
the Tigers (7-10) found them-
selves in, their second-quarter
performance was the best
of the night. Seven players
chipped in for La Grande’s
17 points in the period, four
of whom knocked down
3-pointers. But Pendleton
followed every one of their
3-pointers with buckets of
their own and the shots did
not stop dropping.
The Bucks went on an
13-2 run in the third quarter
to eventually push their lead
to 55-37 going into the final
eight minutes of play.
With tensions rising on
the La Grande bench, head
coach Justin McKay was
given a technical early in the
fourth quarter. The Tiger’s
top scorer, freshman Camryn
Collman, scored seven of
La Grande’s final points and
finished with 21 in the game.
“They have a player that’s
really good and she’s only
a freshman,” Porter said of
Collman. “She’s going cause
people fits for a long time but
one player can’t beat five.”
“I liked our defense,”

Pendleton’s Samantha Spriet wrestles for the ball with

Porter added. “We had a little
different scheme tonight than
looks at them. We’re fine
with (Collman) scoring —
we normally would have,
and we ran multiple different
we scored 73. That’s all part
of the game plan.”

HOF: Martinez nears the necessary 75 percent as voting deadline approaches
Continued from 1B
During an 18-season big
league career spent entirely
with Seattle, he won two
AL batting titles, earned
seven All-Star selections and
finished with a .312 average
and 309 homers.
Paul Molitor, elected to
the Hall in 2004, was a DH
in 1,174 of 2,683 games.
Thomas DHed in 1,310 of
2,322.
“People are taking a
different look about the DH,
and they’re looking more
about sabermetric numbers
and taking into consider-
ation all those numbers and
it seems to be helping,”
Martinez said last year.
Seattle distributed a
15-page look at his career
to potential voters. Spaeder
has compared Martinez to
Hall of Famers, pointing out
an on-base percentage (.418)
superior to Stan Musial’s,
an OPS (.933) above Frank
Robinson’s and a slugging
percentage (.515) greater
than Willie McCovey’s.
His Weighted Runs Above
Average led to an additional
54 Mariners wins, Jack
Moore pointed out on
Fangraphs in 2009. Spaeder
said he assisted on Jonah
Keri’s campaign for Tim
Raines, elected in his final
ballot appearance last year
after starting at 24.3 percent.
“He invited me to Tim
Raines’ Hall of Fame dinner,”
Spaeder said.
Jones and Thome would
raise to 54 the total of players
elected in their first year of
eligibility. An eight-time
All-Star, Jones won the 1999
NL MVP and the 2008 NL
batting title. He batted .303

Kansas City, Mo.
with 2,726 hits and 468 home
runs in 19 seasons with the
Atlanta Braves. Thome was
a five-time All-Star who hit
612 home runs, eighth on the
career list, over 22 seasons.
Hoffman fell five votes
short last year, when Jeff
Bagwell, Raines and Ivan
Rodriguez were elected.
Hoffman is making his third
appearances and is bidding
to become only the sixth
pitcher in the Hall who was
primarily a reliever, after
Hoyt Wilhelm (1985), Rollie
Fingers (1992), Dennis
Eckersley (2004), Bruce
Sutter (2006) and Goose
Gossage (2008). Relievers
and DHs get a boost when
Mariano Rivera becomes
eligible next year and David
Ortiz in 2022.
Hoffman’s 601 saves
trail only Rivera’s 652, and
he is at 78.4 percent on the
vote-tracker, which estimates
there are 424 total ballots.
Guerrero is at 94.8 percent
in his second appearance
after falling 17 votes short
last year. Jones is at 98.3 and
Thome at 93.1.
Guerrero was a nine-time
All-Star and the 2004 AL
MVP with the Anaheim
Angels. He hit .318 with 449
homers and 1,496 RBIs in 16
big league seasons.
Roy Halladay also will
be on the 2019 ballot. The
retired pitcher died Nov. 7 at
age 40 when a plane he was
piloting crashed off Florida.
Voters must have been
members of the BBWAA
for 10 consecutive years
and their ballots were due
Jan. 24. Anyone elected will
be inducted into the Hall
at Cooperstown on July
29 along with pitcher Jack
Morris and shortstop Alan
Trammell, who were voted
in last month by the Hall’s
Modern Era committee,
which considered former
players and executives whose
contributions to baseball
were most significant from
1970-87.
