6A — BAKER CITY HERALD FRIDAY, AUGUST 30, 2019 HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS Mariners top Texas to snap 3-game losing streak ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Austin Nola hit a sacrifi ce fl y that scored Dee Gordon with the tie- breaking run in the top of the ninth inning and Omar Narváez added an insurance run with an RBI single as the Seattle Mariners snapped a three-game losing streak with a 5-3 win over the Texas Rangers on Thurs- day night. Gordon led off the ninth with a single to right, moved to second when Mallex Smith walked and advanced to third on a sacrifi ce bunt by J.P. Crawford. Nola’s fl y out scored Gordon and Narváez’s single to shallow center scored Smith. Matt Magill (4-1) al- lowed one base runner in the eighth and ninth innings. José Leclerc (2-4) allowed both runs in the ninth inning on two singles and two walks. The Rangers lost for the fi fth time in seven games. Félix Hernández came away with his second straight no decision after missing more than three months with a lat strain. Hernández allowed all three runs on fi ve hits and struck out three. Lance Lynn gave up three runs, one earned, in six innings. He struck out fi ve, raising his season total to 202 and becoming the eighth pitcher in Texas club his- tory to strike out 200 or more in a season. Seattle scored three runs in the second inning when Lynn hit Dylan Moore on the left elbow with the bases loaded. Two runs scored when Rangers fi rst baseman Logan For- sythe dropped a throw on a double play try on a ground ball hit by Gordon that would have ended the inning.

Utah’s offense sprang to life on the opening drive of the third quarter. Jaylen Dixon capped an 11-play, 75-yard drive with a 2-yard sprint to push the Utes’ lead to 16-6. Moss gave Utah a spark with back-to-back 14-yard gains that moved the ball to the BYU 44. The Utes capitalized on two more BYU turnovers and put the Cougars away in the fourth quarter. Moss punched in a 4-yard touchdown after Mika Tafua recovered a fumble by Williams at the BYU 22. Then, Julian Black- mon returned an interception 39 yards to put Utah up 30-6 with 12:25 remaining.

Turnovers help Cincinnati beat UCLA CINCINNATI (AP) — Thursday night lights. National television. Power Five opponent. Cincinnati was more than ready for prime time — even sophomore safety Ja’von Hicks. Hicks led an opportunistic Bearcats defense with an interception and fumble recovery, junior running back Michael Warren II scored one touchdown on the ground and caught one of sophomore quarterback Desmond Ridder’s two scoring passes, and Cincinnati beat the UCLA Bruins 24-14 on Thursday in the teams’ season-opener before a raucous crowd of 38,032 at venerable Nippert Stadium. “Big stage, great atmosphere,” said Warren, who fi nished with 92 yards on 26 carries while Ridder was 18-for-26 for 242 yards. Despite losing his voice in the fi rst half, forcing the offense to use silent counts, Ridder also connected with graduate-transfer tight end Josiah Deguara for a touchdown. Senior kicker Sam Crosa added a 44-yard fi eld goal. “Desmond did a good job of managing the game,” said third-year coach Luke Fickell, who led Cincinnati to an 11-2 record last season. “He was slinging and the throwing the ball well early.” Hicks came up with a fumble recovery and an interception for the Bearcats, earning a game ball while starting in place of injured junior James Wiggins. “Everybody was very proud of Ja’von,” said senior linebacker Perry Young, who also had an interception. “He got a little emotional when he got the game ball in the locker room.” Hicks didn’t have a perfect night. The local product whiffed on an open-fi eld tackle in the middle of the fi eld on junior wide receiver Demeric Felton’s 75-yard touchdown catch-and-run in the second quarter and was whistled for a facemask penalty in the third quarter, but Fickell liked the way Hicks responded to the mistakes. “Overcoming mistakes is huge,” said Fickell, pointing out that Hicks symbol- ized the whole Bearcats team. “They have the confi dence that comes from winning. They learned last year how to work through it. There wasn’t a panic.” UCLA sophomore quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson was 8-for- 26 for 156 yards and two TDS, the 75-yarder to Felton and a seven-yard scoring toss to sophomore wide receiver Chase Cota. Thompson-Robinson also lost his grip on the football twice and threw two interceptions, personally ac- counting for all four UCLA turnovers.

Romero Associated Press said. “At fi rst I was nervous but actually after the game settled down, it was just hav- ing fun playing football all over again, Pop Warner, high school and everything else.” Daniels’ fi rst career touch- down pass was 8 yards to running back Eno Benjamin with 3:57 left in the fi rst quarter. He hit Brandon Ai- yuk on a 77-yard screen pass that went for another score in the third quarter. “A little inconsistent, couple of bad reads when he should have ran the ball a couple of times,” Sun Devils head coach Herm Edwards said. “But look, he’s a fresh- man quarterback. For the most part, he did some good things too. The one thing I liked about the guy, no matter what was going on in the game, he was always composed.” Benjamin, who set an Arizona State single-season school record with 1,642 rushing yards last season — a total that led the Pac-12 — had 102 yards rushing on 22 carries. Kent State, 2-10 last sea- son, managed just one drive into the Arizona State half of the fi eld in the fi rst half.

I’d like our guys to respond better, defensively, especially those last nine minutes.” Utah gained just 125 yards in the fi rst half. The Utes totaled only three points on their fi rst two drives after starting on their own 40 and the BYU 33. With their offense sputter- ing before halftime, the Utes turned to their defense get some points on the board. Utah took a 9-3 lead in the second quarter when Francis Bernard stepped in front of a wobbly pass from Wilson, as he tried to avoid a sack, and returned it 58 yards, untouched, for a score. “We just shot ourselves in FRI & SAT: (4:10) 7:10, 9:45 SUN & MON: (4:10) 7:10 T & W: 7:10 IT: CHAPTER 2 (R) OPENS 9-5 AT 6 PM!
