Page 2B SPORTS East Oregonian Friday, October 5, 2018 Prep roundup Brady reaches 500 TD passes in win Bulldogs win first game of season East Oregonian The Hermiston girls soccer team picked up its first win of the season with a Mid-Columbia Confer- ence road victory over Pasco, 2-1. “There is a lot of emo- tion,” Hermiston coach Freddy Guizar said. “The girls are excited for their first win. This is a great feeling and the girls are happy.” Trailing 1-0 in the sec- ond half, Cydney Lind scored with 26 minutes left in regulation for Hermis- ton to tie the score. In the shootout, Jayden Ray, Elsa Torres and Jizelle Gonzalez converted three of Hermistion’s five attempts, while goalie Lanie Gomez stopped two of Pasco’s four shots. “I’ve never been able to watch penalty kicks, even when I played,” Guizar said. “Why start now? I relied on the girls cheering to know if we blocked it or scored.” RIDGEVIEW 4, PENDLETON 0 — The Pendleton girls suffered a road loss when they trav- eled to Ridgeview on Thursday. The Lady Bucks held strong defensively in the first half, only allowing one goal, but stumbled in the second, when three additional goals made it into their net. “It was a pretty solid game, except for the first seven minutes of the sec- ond half,” said coach Paul Parker. “We had a breakdown and never recovered.” Pendleton (2-7, 1-4) will host Redmond (2-6-1, 1-3-1) next Thursday. Boys Soccer UMATILLA 4, NYSSA 0 — After a “rigid” start on a rain-soaked field, Umatilla ended Thursday’s game at Nyssa with a win. “We maintained pos- session most of the time,” said Vikings coach Pedro Ortiz. “We had some com- plications from both teams because of the rain, but that also helped us a lot keeping high pressure on (Nyssa).” Umatilla scored two goals each half. Jose Ala- nis put the team on the scoreboard early on with a successful penalty kick, and Jefri Coria followed that with another goal 10 minutes later. Coria put in another goal in the sec- ond half, and Luis Castro scored the game-ending goal. The Vikings (4-4-1, 3-1) will host De La Salle North Catholic (3-1-3, 2-0- 1) on Saturday afternoon. Volleyball PENDLETON 3, RID- GEVIEW 0 — Pendleton traveled to Ridgeview and kept a consistent lead to take home their first win in seven games. The win came in three sets: 25-12, 25-18, and 25-17. “The girls played aggressive and together very well tonight,” said coach Amanda Lapp. “Our offense is coming together at the right time this sea- son. We’re seeing some good blocked balls and good defensive coverage.” Elli Nirschl lead the team with one ace, three kills, 11 assists, and one dig. Kirah McGlothan recorded five aces and seven digs. Carissa Cooley had two aces and three digs, and Zoe Jones had two aces and one dig. The Lady Bucks (4-10, 3-3) will travel to The Dalles on Tuesday. SHERMAN 3, IONE 0 — It took Ione one set to see who they were up against. After losing the first set to Sherman 25-7, the Car- dinals made a comeback in the final two sets, but it wasn’t enough to salavage the game. The Cardinals lost the last two sets 27-25 and 25-19. “We were a little ner- vous in the first set, but we went neck-and-neck for the last two,” said Ione coach Becky Wagenblast. Ione (4-14, 2-7) will host Dufur on Tuesday. WESTON-MCEWEN 3, PILOT ROCK 0 — The TigerScots continued to dominate in the Blue Mountain Conference, tak- ing a 25-19, 25-13, 31-29 victory over the Rockets in Athena. “We played pretty well,” W-M coach Shawn White said. “Pilot Rock is a good team and stepped up and played really hard.” Despite their record, the TigerScots (19-3, overall, 6-1) dropped from No. 1 to No. 3 in the state 2A poll. Kennedy is No. 1, while Grant Union is No. 2. W-M will play the Prospectors a 3:30 p.m. Saturday at Stan- field High School. Bryce Thul led W-M with 19 assists, 14 digs, five kills and three aces, while Hailey Weaver had 10 kills, Tyree Burke eight kills, two blocks and four aces, Jesse Manning nine digs and four kills, and Ellie Scheibner added six digs and 10 assists. GRANT UNION 3, HEPPNER 0 — The Prospectors (18-4, 7-0) improved to 7-0 in Blue Mountain Conference play with a 25-12, 25-22, 25-21 road victory over the Mus- tangs (11-10, 4-3). “We may have lost the game, but it was a heck of a battle,” Heppner coach Mindy Wilson said. “I was impressed with our play. We played with lots of heart and effort.” Sydney Wilson led Hep- pner with 24 digs and four kills, while Jacee Currin had four kills, two blocks and two aces, and Nicole Propheter four kills and two blocks. Aimee Turrell handed out seven assists. BREWERS: Bullpen is dominate in eight innings Continued from 1B “Being in a postseason a couple years back, it defi- nitely helps,” Moustakas said. Chants of “Mooose!” echoed around Miller Park after the winning hit. Game 2 is Friday in Mil- waukee with Colorado’s Tyler Anderson opposing Jhoulys Chacin, who led Milwaukee with 35 starts this year. He started Mon- day when the Brewers beat the Chicago Cubs 3-1 in the NL Central tiebreaker at Wrigley Field. Yelich hit a two-run homer in the third inning, then opened the 10th with a walk against Adam Otta- vino, coming back from an 0-2 count. Yelich made his post- season debut, though the even-keeled star spoke as if he had been through this before. “You’re just trying to slow the situation down ... find a way to get on and make something happen, put some pressure on him,” Yelich said. “And Moose was able to come through there at the end with the huge hit.” Yelich advanced to sec- ond on a wild pitch and came home on Mous- takas’ line drive to right field. After almost winning the Triple Crown this year, Yelich got two hits, scored twice and stole a base in his playoff debut. Josh Hader and the Brewers allowed just one hit over eight innings in a dominant bullpen game. By BARRY WILNER AP Pro Football Writer FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — On a night when he reached 500 career touch- down passes, Tom Brady welcomed back a buddy with one of his three scoring tosses Thursday, then con- nected with a newcomer who could help him reach more milestones. Brady also sneaked in for a rushing touchdown and the New England Patriots put together their second straight win after a mediocre start to the season, beating Indianap- olis 38-24. Brady’s 500th went to Josh Gordon, recently acquired from Cleveland, where he basically was unavailable through NFL suspensions for all but five games over the past three seasons. But, as he often does, Brady spread the wealth, hitting running back James White 10 times for 77 yards, and greeting the return of buddy Julian Edel- man by completing seven for 57 yards to him. “We wanted to get him the ball and he made some great plays,” Brady said about Edelman. “Just good to have him out there. We all want it to be perfect when we go out and it was great to have him out there ... healthy AP Photo/Charles Krupa New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady signals on the sideline during the first half of an NFL football game against the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday in Foxbor- ough, Mass. and having fun.” As for 500 TD passes, third on the career list behind Peyton Manning (539) and Brett Favre (508), Brady called it a collective mark. “I think all these things like that, milestones, there are so many people that con- tribute, all the people that have really worked hard,” he said. “A quarterback doesn’t throw to himself. “These are all great team awards, pretty cool.” The five-time NFL cham- pion also tied Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri, a former teammate, for most victories with 226. Brady finished 34 for 44 for 341 yards. As everyone in Gillette Stadium except, apparently, the Colts knew, Brady started off with a pass to Edelman, who was wide open for 9 yards. That drew the first of many loud cheers for the 10th-year veteran receiver in his first game since the 2017 preseason, when he tore up a knee. Edelman was sus- pended for the first four games this year for violating the NFL’s policy on perfor- mance enhancers. “During the rehab you are just sitting there and waiting to get back on the field,” Edelman said. “It felt great to be out there with the guys.” DODGERS: Pitching staff gives up 6 hits Continued from 1B the NLDS. Rookie Ronald Acuna Jr. struck out twice and went 0 for 4 as the Baby Braves were blanked. This was Atlan- ta’s first playoff appearance since 2013, when they lost to the Dodgers in four games. Joc Pederson’s leading shot in the bottom of the first rattled Mike Foltynewicz in his postseason debut. Foltynewicz gave up four runs and three hits in two innings. The right-hander struck out five and walked two. He got out of a two-out, bases-loaded jam in the first by striking out Yasiel Puig. Foltynewicz found trou- ble again in the second. With two outs, he hit Pederson and walked Justin Turner before Muncy sent a 1-0 pitch over the wall in center, making it 4-0. Enrique Hernandez hit a solo shot with two outs in the sixth off Brad Brach. Pinch-hitter David Freese added a sacrifice fly in the eighth. Ryu allowed a two-out single to Freddie Freeman in the first. After that, he retired 12 consecutive batters before a pair of two-out singles to Ender Inciarte and former Dodger Charlie Culberson in the fifth. Puig charged in on pinch-hitter Kurt Suzu- ki’s fly to right field to end the inning. The Braves didn’t advance a runner past second base in the game. Ryu gave up another two- out single to Ozzie Albies in the seventh. With fans on their feet waving blue tow- els and the crowd of 50,947 chanting his name, Ryu got Inciarte on a swinging strike- out to end the inning. Relievers Caleb Fergu- son, Alex Wood and Dylan Floro completed the com- bined six-hitter.
