ONE MORE GAME
Three Bulldogs, two
Buckaroos suited up to
play in the annual Les
Schwab Tires Bowl
By ALEXIS MANSANAREZ
East Oregonian
HILLSBORO — For Hermis-
ton senior Joey Gutierrez, Satur-
day’s Les Schwab Tires Bowl had
some glaring similarities to the
2016 football season.
He stepped back onto the field
at Hillsboro Stadium, the very
same field where just six months
ago he helped his Bulldogs to a
OSAA Class 5A state champion-
ship. He was joined by some fel-
low Bulldogs as Hermiston’s Jon-
athan Hinkle and Beau Blake also
made the trip. Most importantly,
his family was there, yet again. It
was something Gutierrez had trou-
ble putting into words, but after
a grueling four-sport season was
thankful for.
“It was exciting,” he said of
being one of the many seniors to be
selected to compete one last time.
“It gave me the chance to play one
more high school game even after
winning the state championship.”
The Les Schwab Bowl, in its
71st year, pits the North against the
South as each team is filled with
the top graduating seniors from
Oregon 6A and 5A high schools.
Joining the three players from
Hermiston was Pendleton’s Nick
Bower and Shaw Jerome. Both
players were standouts for the

COLLEGE WORLD SERIES
Beavers stay alive
OSU rallies after delay
to beat Huskies 14-5
By ERIC OLSON
Associated Press
OMAHA, Neb. — Oregon
State kept things loose in the club-
house during a weather delay that
stretched to 4 ½ hours at the Col-
lege World Series. Reserve out-
fielder Joe Casey entertained team-
mates by stuffing 30 pieces of
gum into his mouth, a party game
known as “Mafia” broke out and
the tunes were cranked up.
When it was time to return to
the field, the Beavers were all
business.
Kyle Nobach hit a three-run
homer to put Oregon State in con-
trol in the seventh inning, Kevin
Abel pitched four strong innings of
relief and Oregon State sent Pac-
12 rival Washington home from
the College World Series with a
14-5 win on Monday night.
“Crazy game. Long day,” Bea-
vers coach Pat Casey said. “I
thought our guys came out really
prepared after the rain delay. We
were kind of scuffling out of the
chute. Really appreciate the way
they hung with it and got them-
selves a win.”
The Beavers erased early defi-
cits, starting their comeback just
before the teams were pulled off
the field because of lightning
near TD Ameritrade Park. Before
play resumed, star second base-
man Nick Madrigal gave a talk to
emphasize the stakes.
“It’s win or go home at this
point, and there are a lot of guys
that will never put this uniform on
again,” Nobach said. “It means a
lot to us, and a lot of people don’t

Stanley Cup winning coach Trotz resigns
WASHINGTON (AP)
– Barry Trotz abruptly
stepped down as coach of
the Washington Capitals on
Monday after failing to agree
to terms on a new contract,
leaving the newly minted
Stanley Cup champions without
a coach with the draft coming
up later this week and free
agency opening next month.
Winning the Cup less than
two weeks ago triggered a two-
year extension for Trotz that
would have given him a slight
bump in salary to just over $2
million, a person with direct
knowledge of the situation
told The Associated Press on
condition of anonymity because
the team did not announce the
extension. Trotz and the team
could not agree on an annual
salary that would have put him
in line with other Cup-winning
coaches.
