Trap: Mabbott has top
team average at 24.25
Continued from Page B1
While there are differ-
ent people on the team this
year, Mabbott is confident.
“Our team is looking
good,” he said. “It’s all
about your mindset. You
have to watch what you say
to people and what you do
the night before.”
And, just like any sport,
there is trash talk.
“Some of us have got-
ten pretty good at it,” Mab-
bott said. “One of the worst
things you can say to get in
their head is, ‘The targets
are flying funny.’”
Practice makes
perfect
While Hamilton has
only been shooting for two
years, most of the guys on
the team have been shoot-
ing for many more.
“Some people pick it
up pretty quick,” Mab-
bott said. “I was not one of
them. I’ve shot for a long
time. I’ve been shooting
since seventh grade, but
didn’t get heavy into it until
my freshman year. Tyson,
Kaden and I have been
shooting together for a long
time. Kaden used to shoot
better than all of us — it’s
all in his head.”
Hamilton said her dad,
Derek, taught her to shoot.
“My dad is a very good
shot, and he’s taught me 90
percent of what I know,”
she said. “The guys are
extremely supportive. They
are by my side to make sure
I have everything I need. I
never feel left out.”
There’s still that one
burning question.
“I can beat my dad now,
any day of the week,” Ham-
ilton said.
It takes a village
The trap team is a club
sport, but it still receives
support from the school
district, which is covering
lodging at nationals.
The Hermiston Gun
Club offers support, and
the team has a grant from
the Blue Mountain Chap-
ter of Friends of the NRA,
which supplies the ammo
and targets for the team.
There also are private
donors, and the team has
gotten support from the
high school booster club.
The parents still are hav-
ing to foot part of the bill
for the trip to nationals, but
they are thankful for the
support they have received.
“We are apprecia-
tive of everything people
have done for us,” coach
Smith said.

Distributing places sixth

broadened that advantage
with another RBI. But Pend-
leton watched as the game
quickly slipped out of reach
as Meridian’s Austin Fehl-
man singled on a 2-2 count
in the top of the sixth, driv-
ing in a pair of runs.
But the Diamondjaxx
found redemption in the fol-
lowing contest against the
Tehama Bulls with a 9-3
victory.
Firing up the offense
right out the gate, Pendle-
ton drove in three runs in
the top of the first. With the
bases loaded, Jack Monk-
man’s ground ball scored
an RBI, and two subsequent
walks gave Pendleton a
3-0 lead that Tehama could
never overcome.
Payton Lambert sent a
fly ball to center field in the
top of the sixth, scoring two
runs. Monkman hit another
RBI single later on to cap off
Pendleton’s second three-
run inning of the game.
Kobe Fell had two runs
and an RBI to lead the Dia-
mondjaxx against the Bulls,
and Monkman went 2-for-5
at bat and posted another
run and two RBIs.
Peal had a perfect 4-for-4
showing at the plate, and
chipped in another three
runs. He also struck out six
Bulls, giving up six hits and
three walks.
The momentum wouldn’t
last, however, as the Dia-
mondjaxx wrapped the tour-
nament up with a 9-1 loss to
the Washington-based Aso-
tin legion team on Sunday
morning.
Pendleton’s lone run
came in the top of the fourth
when Lambert doubled and
crossed home two at-bats
later.
Asotin’s Jon Bean was
relentless on the mound,
striking out ten over six
innings, allowing only one
run.
The Diamondjaxx (14-
11) return home today with
a doubleheader against Irri-
gon. First pitch is at 5 p.m. at
Bob White Field.

out Willson Contreras, Ketel
Marte and Ronald Acuna Jr.
in the fifth.
Fittingly, the first bat-
ter of the game was the guy
who leads the majors in home
runs — Yelich, the NL MVP
with 31 homers at the break,
hit leadoff for the first time
this year.
Yelich lined out and Ver-
lander, featuring 97 mph
heat, quickly fanned Javier
Báez and Freddie Freeman to
finish his work. Those juiced
balls that Verlander is com-
plaining about? Didn’t bother
him a bit.
Báez came up again in the
third with a bright red bat,
stepped out of the box and
playfully waved to his pal
Francisco Lindor in the AL
dugout.
NL starter Hyun-Jin Ryu,
Mets ace Jacob deGrom and
Luis Castillo threw scoreless
innings to keep the NL close
in the early going.

est starting lineup in All-Star
