BLAZERS: Team has
17 assists in first half
Continued from 1B
different type of excitement.
It was my son looking into
my eyes. It was different,”
Lillard said Friday.
But his joy was
tempered because his half-
brother was shot multiple
times in the parking lot of
a Portland-area shopping
mall on Thursday night.
Lillard said 20-year-old
Jahrell Lillard was in stable
condition. Police continue
to look for the suspects.
The Clippers were
short-handed. The team
announced that Milos
Teodosic has a torn plantar
fascia in his left foot and
will be re-evaluated in two
weeks. Already missing
were
Avery
Bradley
(abdominal surgery) and
Patrick Beverley (knee).
But the Clippers saw the
return of Danilo Gallinari,
who had missed 18 games
with a fractured right hand.
Gallinari finished with 11
points.
The first half was a
highlight reel of dunks
for the Blazers, who led
64-49 at the break. Collins
had three dunks in the
second quarter to finish the
first half with 13 points,
topping his career high for
a game.
The Blazers had 17
assists in the first half, led
by Lillard with five.
Al-Farouq
Aminu’s
layup and free throw put
Portland up 74-51 early in
the second half. But Davis
headed to the locker room
later in the third quarter.
Portland was already
playing without starter
Maurice Harkless, who
had a minor procedure on
his left knee on Wednesday
and will be re-evaluated in
two weeks.
TIP-INS
Clippers: Los Angeles
had won three straight in
Portland. ... Austin Rivers
struggled, going 1 for 8
from the floor for the game.
Trail Blazers: A reporter
quipped that Lillard’s
newborn son had a stack of
his signature shoes waiting
for him. “Nothing but the
finest,” Lillard laughed.

PIONEERS: Tourney continues today
Continued from 1B
Earls, however, could not
quite carry that performance
over into the second game
of the day. She got the start
against Rainier and allowed
12 hits, 11 runs (six earned)
and walked five in 3 1/3
innings, while only throwing
50 percent strikes.
In the first inning, the
Columbians (4-2) loaded the
bases against Earls with two
singles and walk, but Earls
escaped with back-to-back
strikeouts. It seemed to be
a momentum swing for the
Pioneers, as their offense
exploded for six runs in the
bottom half of the first. It got
started with a two-run home
run to left-center field off
the bat of Graci Bullock and
then an RBI single by Brit-
tany Wells and a RBI double
from Earls gave the Pioneers
a 6-0 lead.
Though the Columbians
finally broke through against
Earls over the next two
innings as they pushed across
nine unanswered runs to take
a 9-6 lead — one that would
hold until the sixth inning.
The Pioneers got two runs
back on a two-run double to
centerfield by Courtney Cain
in the bottom of the sixth to
make it 9-8, and then had the
tying and go-ahead runs on
base before Potts’ pop out
stranded the runners.
But in the seventh, the
Pioneers’ pitching and
defense let them down again.
Mac-Hi committed two
errors and Rainier smacked
five hits in the inning to push
across seven runs to make it
a 16-8 game.
The Pioneers would make
one last big push in the
seventh. A fielder’s choice
groundout by Lyon brought
in a run and then a bases-
loaded walk by Bullock and
a RBI double by Kelly cut
the deficit to 16-11. Three
batters later, Potts drew
McKenna
Stallings,
of Mac-Hi,
winds up
for a pitch
during
Friday’s
non-
league
game
against
Stayton.

another bases-loaded walk to
make it a 16-12 game. And
with the tying run at home
plate in McKenna Yensen
with two outs, Yensen
grounded out to shortstop for
the final out, sealing the win
for Rainier.
The Pioneers recorded 20
hits in the game and stranded
10 runners. Lyon had the best
day, going 4-for-5 with three
runs and two RBI, while
Kelly was 3-for-4 with a run
and an RBI. Earls and Kiley
Reichert each had two hits in
the game as well.
Rainier’s Aspen Norman,
Paige Kellar and Reese
Schimmel — 1-2-3 in the
batting order — did most of
the damage for the Colum-
bians. The trio combined to
go 9-for-20 (.450) with two
doubles, seven runs scored
and eight RBI.

Mac-Hi continues its
tournament on Saturday

ROUNDUP: Echo enforces the 10-run rule against Colton early
Continued from 1B
responded with a five-run
inning in the fourth.
Monique Montoya hit
a grounder up the middle,
and safely reached base on
a error. The two-RBI scored
Hart and Alex Putnam.
Weems scored another run
for the Cougars, and finished
2-for-5 at bats. Her two-RBI
single scored Montoya and
Michelle Weems.
To cap off the scoring,
Kennedy’s Tressa Reidman
walked Alyssa Ray with
the bases already loaded for
Echo’s final run of the inning.
But that 7-6 lead wouldn’t
last long, as the Trojans scored
eight more runs in the fourth
and fifth innings to reach 14 on
the day. The Cougars would
add three more to the board
highlighted by a two-RBI
double from Michelle Weems.
Ray was given the loss for
Echo after six innings in the
circle. Ray allowed 14 runs on
11 hits and struck out six batters.

ECHO 11, COLTON
1 — After suffering the
four-run loss to open play,
Echo bounced back and
enforced the 10-run rule by
building up a 11-1 lead to end
the matchup versus Colton
early.
The Cougars (3-2) used
an early lead to gain control
of the game and went up 3-0
after the first inning.
Alex Putman brought in
the first run on a line drive
that scored Kendra Hart and
Michelle Weems followed
with a 2-RBI double that
brought home Putman and
Monique Montoya.
Colton’s lone run didn’t
come until the fourth inning.
It was only one of two hits
the Vikings (0-2) recorded.
After coming within
striking distance, the Cougars
made sure they wouldn’t
be caught in the bottom of
the fourth when they scored
seven runs to solidify their
lead. The hitting clinic was
capped off by Weems, who
sent a two-run home run over
left field.
Echo scored another in the
bottom of the fifth to push its
lead to 10 and wrap up its day
of play.
Alyssa Ray was given the
win after going five innings
allowing only one run on
two hits while striking out
seven.
