Phillip Boston Red Sox’s Steve Pearce celebrates his sec- ond home run during the eighth inning in Game 5 of the World Series on Sunday. RED SOX: Pearce is World Series MVP Continued from 1B Houston Astros in the playoffs. Cora became the first manager from Puerto Rico to win a title and just the fifth rookie manager overall. Pearce, the Series MVP, hit a two-run homer on Clayton Kershaw’s sixth pitch. Solo homers by Mookie Betts in the sixth inning and J.D. Martinez in the seventh quieted the crowd, and Pearce added a solo drive off Pedro Baez in the eighth. “We are a bunch of grinders,” Pearce said, “and this is exactly where we knew we were going to be.” Pearce, a June acqui- sition from Toronto, had three homers and seven RBIs in the final two games of the Series. After losing to Houston in Game 7 last year by the same 5-1 score, the Dodg- ers became the first team ousted on its home field in consecutive World Series since the New York Giants by the New York Yankees at the Polo Grounds in 1936 and ’37. Los Angeles is still looking for its first cham- pionship since 1988. “Ran up against a very good ballclub. And just a little bit too much for us,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said. Boston won its ninth title, tying the Athletics for third-most behind the Yankees (27) and Cardi- nals (11). All that stood between the Red Sox and a sweep was an 18-inning loss in Game 3, the lon- gest World Series game ever. Saturday’s Walla Walla districts meet hosted the Bull- dogs and saw strong perfor- mances from their top runners. The top two teams and top 14 runners would go on to qualify for state, and although Hermiston did not make the cut, coach Troy Blackburn sees a “bright future” for all of his runners. The Hermiston girls fin- ished fifth, with Cydney San- chez leading the pack, plac- ing 18th. Ellie Ernst was right behind her at 21st, and Alexia Serna finished third for the Bulldogs at 26th. “These three girls have been running well all sea- son,” Blackburn said. “I am so proud of them, and I look for- ward to seeing them get faster and faster.” Freddy Mendoza led the boys, clocking in at 16:53, and finishing 23rd. Greg Anderson was less than a minute behind Mendoza, finishing at 17:15. Freshman Jackson Shaver ran a PR of of 17:53 — the Bull- dogs’ third-fastest runner for the meet. Boys Soccer UMATILLA 2, NYSSA 0 — A home shutout against Nyssa closed league play for the Umatilla Vikings on Sat- urday afternoon. Forward Alexis Ruiz put the team on the scoreboard in the first half, and midfielder Jose Alanis scored in the sec- ond to seal the victory. “It was a really tight game in the first half,” said coach Pedro Ortiz. “We improved a lot in the second — we had more shots-on-goal, had bet- ter passing, and found open- ings in their defense.” The Vikings (7-5-1, 5-2) will head into playoffs on Tuesday. Girls Soccer UMATILLA 1, NYSSA 0 — The Vikings closed out their season with a home vic- tory over Nyssa on Saturday. Junior forward Lizzy Burres led the team with Umatilla’s only goal, scor- ing during the first half of the game. “We possessed well and defended well, but got a lit- tle lazy in the second half,” said coach Tim Lee. “Overall, it was a pretty decent perfor- mance and a good way to end the season. Umatilla finished the year off with a 4-8 overall record and 2-3 in the 3A/2A/1A Spe- cial District 6. Volleyball WESTON-MCEWEN 3, REGIS 0 — Weston-McE- wen swept the Regis Rams in a Saturday playoff match, tak- ing their visiting opponents in three, 25-9, 25-14, and 25-18. “We played very well today,” said TigerScots coach Shawn White. “All of our players contributed and exe- cuted great.” Bryce Thul led her team with eight digs, 17 assists, and eight kills. Ellie Scheibner recorded 14 total assists and two blocks. Hailey Weaver scored 16 kills and three blocks. Jesse Manning had 12 digs and four kills, and Carrie Hazen served 15-for-15 with two aces. Weston-McEwen will continue forward in the Blue Mountain Conference play- offs when they face Portland Christian on Friday afternoon.
