LOS ANGELES —
The U.S. women’s national
soccer team celebrated
its Women’s World Cup
victory on both coasts
Wednesday, honored with
a ticker-tape parade in
New York City before jet-
ting to the West Coast and
collecting trophies at The
ESPYS in the evening.
Alex Morgan won
female athlete of the year
and shared the best team
award with her soccer
mates.
“Sorry, but this is proba-
bly the second-best trophy
we won this week,” Mor-
gan said jokingly, hoisting
her individual trophy.
As she got up from the
front row, Megan Rapi-
noe’s black tuxedo jacket
opened and exposed her
left breast, which was
caught by cameras show-
ing the in-house feed of
the show. It wasn’t imme-
diately known whether
it went out over the live
national telecast.
“I’ve dropped the
F-bomb on every stage the
last four days, so we’ll just
spare you that,” Rapinoe
told the audience.
Giannis Antetokoun-
mpo of the Milwaukee
Bucks won male athlete of
the year at the show hon-
oring the past year’s top
athletes and moments in
sports.
“This is all about hard
work. When you believe
in your dreams this can
happen,” Antetokounmpo
said. “Hopefully, if I keep
working hard there’s more
to come.”
Comedian Tracy Mor-
gan presided over the show
at Microsoft Theater in
downtown Los Angeles.
Alex Morgan thanked
ESPN for its recent deal to
carry NWSL games.
“When the World Cup
is behind us, it is the pro-
fessional league that we
need to continually lift
up and grow,” she said.
“Investment in women
and girls should not only
occur on the playing fields
but in more storytelling of
badass, amazing women
who continue to show
that we are more than just
athletes.”
Sandra
Bullock
announced the best team
award, saying, “All those
in favor of equal pay say
aye.”
The U.S. women’s
team is suing to receive
pay equal to their male
counterparts.
“Keep fighting for
equality,” Billie Jean King
told the team from the
stage earlier in the show.
Carli Lloyd informed
the crowd the team had
its hair and makeup done
during the flight from New
York.
“We look pretty fabu-
lous, I think,” she said.
Lloyd added, “It’s
been an incredible jour-
ney. Here’s to the next
World Cup.”
enough to give him that set.
But Federer quickly turned
things around in the sec-
ond, conjuring up whatever
he wanted, exactly when he
wanted it.
His approach shots were
beyond reproach. His vol-
leys vibrant. His returns were
timed so well, and struck so
violently, that one knocked the
net-rushing Nishikori’s racket
plum out of his hands.
And Federer’s serve? Sure,
he faced break points, but he
never allowed 2014 U.S. Open
runner-up Nishikori to con-
vert another.
“Overall, I’m just very
happy how I’m hitting the
ball,” Federer said. “Feel good
off the baseline, too, which is
clearly going to be important,
maybe, for the next match.”
Yeah, maybe.
Nadal, of course, is still a
ball-retrieving, shot-whipping
machine at the back of the
court.
He did have some trou-
ble closing out the first set
against Querrey, an American
ranked 65th who was trying
to reach his second Wimble-
don semifinal.
Nadal wasted three set
points at 5-3, then another
before getting broken when
serving for it at 5-4. Again
serving for that set at 6-5, he
erased a trio of break points
for Querrey before holding —
and finally was on his way.
“I definitely think he’s a
guy that can win it again,”
Querrey said about two-time

day at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships in London.
Wimbledon champ Nadal.
Djokovic, eyeing a fifth
trophy at the All England
Club and 16th overall at
Slams, used a 10-game run to
transform what was shaping
up as an even, entertaining
quarterfinal into a 6-4, 6-0,
6-2 romp against 21st-seeded
David Goffin.
“I felt,” Djokovic said,
“like I managed to dismantle
his game.”
Down an early break, the
defending champion grabbed
control midway through the
opening set and never let go.
“He was everywhere,”
Goffin said.
Djokovic did to Goffin
exactly what he does to so
many men on so many sur-
faces and at so many tour-
naments: He takes their best
shot, deals with it and then
wears them down.
“I
sincerely
hope,”
Djokovic said, “that my oppo-
nent feels like he’s got to work
twice as (hard as) against
any other opponent to win a
point.”
Bautista Agut, a first-
time Grand Slam semifinal-
ist, is supposed to be on the
island of Ibiza right now, hav-
ing a bachelor party with a
half-dozen pals ahead of his
November wedding. Instead,
he will play on after beating
No. 26 Guido Pella of Argen-
tina 7-5, 6-4, 3-6, 6-3.
“Well,” the 31-year-old
Bautista Agut said, “it feels
better to be here in London.”
Federer and Nadal are
surely pleased to still be
around, too.
Everyone else will be
thrilled to see them trade
strokes on Centre Court once
more.
“I know they haven’t
played here in a long time. It
seems a little more exciting,
more special, they are play-
ing at Wimbledon, maybe,
rather than outside of a Grand
Slam,” Querrey said. “I’ll be
watching on Friday.

the bases early in the inning.
Neveau drew a walk during
the following at-bat to send
Krighaum home.
Josie Jenness sent a line
drive deep into left field,
good enough to send two
more runs across the plate.
Jenness would reach home
one at-bat later after Wilson
grounded out to first base.
It was the first out Red-
mond managed for the
inning, but it came five runs
too late, as Pendleton had
already taken an advan-
tage that was too vast to
overcome.
Schumacher took to the
circle to close the game out
in the bottom of the fifth
and got two easy strikeouts
before Redmond grounded
out to Ella Sams at second
base, calling the game after
five innings.
“This feels great,” Wilson
said. “The girls played like
state champs.”
The
freshly-crowned
state champs got three runs
each from Schumacher
and Neveau. Boatman hit
2-for-3 and scored two runs.
Krighaum and Jenness also
chipped in two runs each to
aid in the blow out.
Kendall Murphy may
have handed Redmond their
only two hits of the game,
but her steady aim knocked
down five strikeouts over the
first four innings.
“We have a problem that
a lot of teams don’t have,”
Wilson said. “We have too
many good pitchers. It’s a
good problem to have.”
And it’s not over
for
the

Little Leaguers — the team

day, July 21 to represent

with a walk-off RBI-sin-
gle on his next at-bat that
sealed the five-inning win.
“We’ve faced a lot of
older, more experienced
pitchers,” said Monkman,
an incoming Buckaroo
sophomore. “Today, it was
all about hanging in there
and waiting for that right
pitch.”
In the second game, The
Diamondjaxx trailed going
into the bottom of the sev-
enth inning. A sacrifice
fly by Jim Smith scored
Monkman and knotted the
score at 8-8.
With one out, Jacob
Deveraux bunted the ball
and moved Karson Lani
to third. A throwing error
on the play allowed Lani to
score the winning run.
“(The Diamondjaxx)
have a little more experi-
ence, but we can compete
with them,” Black Sox
coach J.D. Lambert said.
“We just had some little
mistakes today that shot us
in the foot.”
The Diamondjaxx (16-
11) will finish their season
Thursday, hosting Hanford
in a doubleheader at 4 p.m.
