Timberwolves dig for a cure By BRETT KANE East Oregonian The Timberwolves proved they were tough enough to wear pink and beat the North Idaho Car- dinals at home on Friday night. The game was a part of the “Tough Enough to Wear Pink” campaign, which raises awareness and funds for breast cancer patients and survivors in the community. Proceeds earned from admission and pink T-shirts sold at the door were donated to the St. Anthony Care Clinic and the Kickin’ Cancer New Beginnings program. BMCC selects one game in October every year to spot- light the charity. “We knew (North Idaho) would be a tough opponent,” said coach Jessica Humphreys. “We wanted the extra hype, and the girls get excited to wear their pink jerseys. It’s tradition.” Timberwolves setter Sophia Casarez put her team on the scoreboard on the first play with a kill. BMCC had a five- point lead before the Car- dinals came back strong and brought the score to a 24-24 tie. The Timber- wolves narrowly claimed victory to end the set, 28-26. The second set was smoother for BMCC, opening with a three-point lead thanks to kills from Casarez, and middle block- ers Syndey Neuman and Faith McQueen. The set ended in their favor, 25-16. But the Cardinals came back with a ven- geance to claim set three with a 25-18 victory, and even managed to make the fourth difficult for the Timberwolves, tying it up 24-24 near the end. Neu- man recorded a kill and Idaho middle blocker Syd- ney Bybee sealed BMCC’s win with a 26-24 set-clos- ing score. “North Idaho is rou- tinely tough,” Humphreys said after the game. “We would’ve had the third set if we kept our intensity, but I’m proud of how the girls responded. It feels pretty damn good.” This is Humphreys’ sec- ond year as Timberwolves head coach. She said Casa- rez brought the passion and fight to the court against the Cardinals. “It’s all about energy and team dynamic, and we came out with both,” Casarez said. “We love each other like a family. We played as a team 100 percent tonight — there wasn’t a moment where everybody wasn’t giving it their all.” DAWGS: Scored three times in the fourth quarter Continued from 1B down, a penalty backed the Falcons up to the 42, and they fumbled on the next play, with Hermis- ton’s Zane Davis coming up with the ball. The game was scoreless in the third quarter, but the Bulldogs put three scores on the board in the fourth to take a 35-28 lead. Noland scored on runs of 8 and 10 yards, while Youbani Razon caught a 19-yard touchdown pass from James, who finished with 170 yards in the air. The Bulldogs stepped up their defense in the sec- ond half, putting Noland on the field. He caused havoc in the backfield, and had fun in the process. “When he told me I could play defense, I was excited,” he said. “It worked out fine.” In a close first half, which saw the Falcons take a 21-14 lead, the Bulldogs struck first on their open- ing drive, moving the ball 67 yards in 2 1/2 minutes. Andrew James capped the drive with a 37-yard touch- down run up the middle for a 7-0 lead. Hanford quickly replied, getting a 61-yard burst up the middle from Jared DeVine for a 7-7 game. Hermiston looked to take a 14-7 lead on their next possession as James hit Wyatt Noland with a 43-yard scoring pass, but a holding penalty by the Bulldogs brought the ball back. On the ensuing play, Blake VanderTop inter- cepted James, and the Fal- cons took over at the Bull- dogs’ 27. Five plays later, DeVine bullied his way into the end zone from 1 yard out and a 14-7 Hanford lead. Noland got his first touchdown of the game on the next drive, taking the ball in from 1 yard out for a 14-14 game just 2 minutes into the second quarter. DeVine scored his third touchdown of the game, again from 1 yard out with 2:33 left in the first half for a 21-14 lead. Hanford was closing in on the end zone just before the half as Gabe Martinez caught a pass from Gar- rett Horner. Martinez was knocked out of bounds at the 3-yard line as time expired. ——— Hermiston 7 7 0 21 7 - 42 Hanford 14 7 0 14 0 - 35 Scoring 1Q Her - Andrew James 37 run (Juan Carlos Navarrette kick) Han - Jared DeVine 61 run (Xavier Uvalle kick) Han - DeVine 1 run (Uvalle kick) 2Q Her - Wyatt Noland 1 run (Navarrete kick) Han - DeVine 1 run (Uvalle kick) 4Q Her - Noland 8 run (Navarrete kick) Her - Noland 10 run (Navarrete kick) Han - Luke Sutey 18 pass form Garrett Horner (Uvalle kick) Her - Youbani Razon 19 pass from James (Navarrete kick) Han - DeVine 2 run (Uvalle kick) OT Her - Noland 7 run (Navarrette kick) Statistics Passing – HERHS, Andrew James 18-24-2-170-1; HANHS Garret Horner 20-26-0-258-1.

Nichols, a senior, cov- ered the 5,000-meter course in a time of 15 minutes, 52.30 seconds. The Mus- tangs finished sixth in the team standings with 148 points. Union’s Tim Stevens won the race in a time of 15:08.60, while The Dalles won the boys team title with 56 points. Umatilla’s Zayne Tro- eger was the top man for the Vikings, placing 18th in a time of 17:07.50.

Football ECHO 51, SOUTH WASCO COUNTY 6 - A last-second touchdown from South Wasco County in the fourth quarter were the only points Echo allowed at home on Friday night. “They played amazing,” Cougars coach Rick Thew said of his team’s perfor- mance. “Defense played lights out.” Quarterback Devan Craig passed for 167 yards and three touchdowns, and also recorded nine tackles and one interception. Running back Mason Smith rushed for 127 yards, including three touchdowns. Running back Mychael Pointer had four receptions for 80 yards, and recovered a South Wasco fumble and ran it into the end zone for a touchdown. Echo (6-1) will play their final regular sea- son game at home Oct. 26, against an opponent yet to be determined. NYSSA 35, IRRIGON 14 - Irrigon dropped their home game to Nyssa (6-2, 3-1) on Friday night. Running back Pay- ton Smith rushed 45 yards and quarterback Keith Fleming caught a 19-yard pass for the Knights’ two touchdowns. “We played really well in the first half,” said coach Ken Thompson. “I was really impressed with how the kids played and ran the ball. But (Nyssa) pounded away at us.” Irrigon (3-5, 0-3) will close out their season with one final home game against Umatilla (1-6, 0-3) on Oct. 26. NLCS: Starter Ryu tagged for four runs in the first Continued from 1B at Dodger Stadium with the same formula it used to win the NL Central during a breakout season. Some timely hitting by Aguilar and company pro- duced an early lead, and Corey Knebel and Jer- emy Jeffress led the way in another shutdown per- formance by Milwaukee’s tough bullpen. Los Angeles was looking for its second straight NL pennant and some time to prepare for the mighty Bos- ton Red Sox in the World Series. But losing pitcher Hyun-Jin Ryu was tagged for four runs in the first inning, two on a double by Aguilar that sent Braun slid- ing home. After Wade Miley pitched into the fifth inning in his second straight start — he faced only one batter in Game 5 — Knebel, Jeffress and Corbin Burnes closed it out with hitless relief. Knebel got the win and Burnes retired the Dodgers in order in the ninth, setting off a wild celebration for the crowd of 43,619. If manager Craig Coun- sell was tempted to bring in the dominant Hader, Aguilar likely erased that urge when he scored on a wild pitch in the seventh, and then sin- gled in Lorenzo Cain in the eighth. The big first base- NLCS: Game 6 Milwaukee Los Angeles 7 2 Series tied, 3-3 Game 7: L.A. Dodgers at Milwaukee Brewers, Today, 5:09 p.m. TV: FS1 man had driven in just one run in the series heading into Game 6. Freese drove in both runs for the Dodgers. The rest of the Los Angeles lineup man- aged just three measly sin- gles. Hounded by boos all night long, Machado went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts. The 35-year-old Freese was a surprise choice for leadoff hitter by Dave Rob- erts, and he made his man- ager look quite good when he started the game with a drive to right-center for his ninth career postseason homer. Freese also connected in the first inning of the previ- ous NLCS Game 6 in Mil- waukee, helping the St. Louis Cardinals win the pennant in 2011. It was just his fourth time in the lead- off spot in his 10 years in the majors. But the Brewers put AP Photo/Jeff Roberson Milwaukee Brewers’ Orlando Arcia (3) and Lorenzo Cain (6) celebrate after Game 6 of the National League Championship Series baseball game against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Friday in Milwaukee. The Brewers won 7-2. together a quick response that set the tone for the rest of the night. With runners on first and second in the bot- tom half of the first, Aguilar lined an opposite-field dou- ble into the corner in right. Mike Moustakas fol- lowed with another RBI double and scored on Erik Kratz’s single to make it 4-1. The Brewers managed just three runs in the previous two games in Los Angeles. Christian Yelich and Braun combined for another run with consecutive dou- bles in the second, and then it became a question of strat- egy for Roberts and Coun- sell with Game 7 on deck. Roberts used start- ing pitcher Rich Hill in the eighth after Kenta Maeda struggled, staying away from key reliever Pedro Baez and closer Kenley Jansen. Coun- sell stayed with Knebel for five outs, giving him his first pro plate appearance with the bases loaded in the fifth — he struck out — and Burnes worked two perfect innings.
