behind me for the past 10
years.”
Christian has additional
coaching experience at
Umatilla High School and
Blue Mountain Commu-
nity College. Her replace-
ment at Mac-Hi has yet to
be selected.
“I saw the opening at the
end of our season,” Chris-
tian said. “I’ve always
wanted to move back to La
Grande, and I’ve always
wanted to coach at the col-
lege level again. I didn’t
know if I was going to
get the position, but they
offered it to me three or
four days later. I wasn’t sure
what the future was going
to hold, but everything
seemed to work out. I have a
lot of pride to be an alumna
at EOU. I want to bring that
pride and passion back.”

Seattle Mariners pitcher Tommy Milone throws against the St. Louis Cardinals in the second inning of Thursday’s game in
Seattle.

Domingo Santana and a wild
pitch put runners at second
and third with one out.
Miller escaped the threat
by striking out Vogelbach
and Omar Narvaez, and
got a big assist from Wiet-
ers keeping a spiked pitch to
Narvaez from going to the
backstop.
“On TV, it was pretty
amazing,” said Cardinals
manager Mike Shildt, who
was ejected in the fourth
inning.
Seattle’s Tommy Milone
(1-3) was solid for fi ve
innings following opener
Matt Carasiti, but ran into
trouble in the seventh.
Milone was lifted after
a leadoff walk and one-
out single, and Matt Festa
walked Wieters to load the
bases. Edman barely missed
a grand slam earlier in the
at-bat when a deep fl y ball
hooked late. On the ninth
pitch, Edman lined a slider
into right to give St. Louis
the lead.
“For two innings there in
the middle of the game, we’d
take the lead then I’d give
it back and that’s defi nitely
frustrating,” Milone said.

Seattle added another
arm to its bullpen, acquir-
ing right-hander Matt Wisler
from San Diego in exchange
for cash. Wisler was desig-
MLB
nated for assignment by the
Padres on Saturday. He is
2-2 with a 5.28 ERA in 21
appearances this year.

East Oregonian
LA GRANDE — Kar-
son Lani and Jack Monk-
man combined for a one-hit

the Pepsi Diamondjaxx to
a 9-0 road victory over La
Grande.
Lani struck out fi ve in

man allowed the lone hit to
Cesar Rodriguez.
Aiden Gunter had a dou-
ble and drove in two runs
for Pepsi, while Collin Pri-
mus drove in two runs, and
Kobe Fell hit a triple and
had an RBI.
In the second game, the
Diamondjaxx trailed 7-3
after three innings, but they
scored fi ve runs in the fourth
and fi ve more in the fi fth to
take the lead for good.
Jim Smith hit a pair of
doubles and drove in six
runs for Pepsi, while Pri-
mus went 3-for-4, and Fell
hit another triple.
Blane Peal picked up the
win, pitching 1⅔ innings,
striking out three.

runs.
The Diamondjaxx are
back in action Friday at a
tournament in Spokane.

After stepping down as head coach to spend more time
with his family six years ago, Kenzie Hansell will return to
Weston-McEwen as head football coach with the help of his
daughters (left to right) Cora, 5, Eloise, 7, and Charlotte, 10.

ball philosophy, he had to
practice what he preached.
“It was my turn to step
up and help out at home,”
he said.
As he returns to the
TigerScots, his family is
part of the team.
His daughter Charlotte,
10, is the ball girl, while
Eloise, 7, is in charge of the
kicking tee, and Cora, 5, is
there to cheer everyone on.
To top it off, his younger
brother Luke, who played
at Washington State, is the
defensive coordinator.
“I want them to be
involved,” Hansell said.
“It’s about family. The
opportunity to have broth-
ers coach together is
special.”
The fi rst time Hansell
took the reins of W-M was
2008. The team was com-
ing off a dismal 1-8 season.
He led the team to the play-
offs four of the six years he
coached, including the 2A
state semifi nals in 2011.
His record was 37-23.
A 1999 Hermiston grad-
uate, Hansell walked on
at Washington State, and
played four years at wide
receiver for the Cougars.
He played in the 2001 Sun
Bowl, the 2003 New Year’s
Day Rose Bowl vs. Okla-
homa, and the 2003 Holi-
day Bowl.
During his time at
WSU, he played for Mike
Price and Bill Doba. One
of Doba’s mantras has
stuck with him through the
years — ‘Do what is asked
of you, when you are asked
to do it.’
He preaches that to his
players, whether they are
on the fi eld, in the class-
room or at home.
“We have a great
group of student-athletes,”
Hansell said.
In addition to his brother
on his staff, Hansell has
Casey Perkins, Dallas
Reich, Elliot Salter, James
Wilbourn and Morgan
Dunlap.
“Our coaching staff is
amazing,” he said. “The
head coach is only as good
as his assistants.”
The TigerScots open
their season Sept. 6 at
Central Linn.
