SPORTS BRIEFING SOCCER Messi nets 2 as Barcelona wins Copa del Rey final — Lionel Messi scored twice as Barcelona beat Athletic Bilbao 4-0 to win the Copa del Rey final on Saturday, giving Ronald Koeman his first title as coach of the Catalan club. Messi’s two goals came after Antoine Griezmann finally beat Bilbao goal- keeper Unai Simón with the opener on the hour-mark. Fren- kie de Jong headed in a second goal in the 63rd before Messi dealt a double blow to put the result beyond any doubt by the 72nd. It is Barcelona’s first title since winning the Spanish league in 2019. BASKETBALL Beavs’ Tucker third to leave via transfer portal — Dearon Tucker, a 6-foot-8 sophomore forward who played 46 games over a two-year Oregon State career, is leaving the pro- gram with an intent to transfer. Tucker is the third OSU player to enter the NCAA transfer portal since the Beavers’ Elite Eight NCAA Tournament run ended March 29. Other Beavers who recently left are guards Julien Franklin and Tariq Silver. Tucker enters the transfer portal two days after former Maryland post Chol Marial committed to Oregon State. Tucker averaged 1.9 points and 1.3 rebounds during his two-year OSU career. GOLF Cink maintains big lead at RBC Heritage — Stewart Cink is having a great time playing at the RBC Heritage with his son Reagan as his caddie. He’s winning, too. The 47-year- old Cink maintained a five-shot lead and set another scor- ing mark at Harbour Town Golf Links on Saturday, moving closer to his third career win at this event. Cink cooled off from his pace in the first two rounds, when he shot a pair of 63s for his lowest career 36-hole score and shattered the event’s halfway scoring mark. This time, Cink scrambled his way to a 2-under 69 to get to 18-under 195, also a tournament mark for lowest 54-hole score. PGA Championship winner Collin Morikawa was at 13 under after a 67. Emiliano Grillo had a 69 and was another shot behind in third. Matt Wallace (65) and Sung-jae Im (69) were tied at 11 under. — Bulletin wire reports POWERBALL The numbers drawn Saturday night are: 10 21 26 41 49 25 As listed at oregonlottery.org and individual lottery websites MLB MONDAY Baseball: north Marion at Madras, 4:30 p.m.; Sisters at newport, 4:30 p.m.; Culver at Sheridan, 3:30 p.m. Softball: Sisters at Mountain View (dh), 3 p.m.; Ma- dras at north Marion, 4:30 p.m. Boys tennis: redmond at ridgeview, 3 p.m.; Crook County at The dalles, 3 p.m. Girls tennis: ridgeview at redmond, 3 p.m.; The dalles at Crook County, 3 p.m. TUESDAY Baseball: Mountain View at Summit, 4:30 p.m.; The dalles at ridgeview, 4:30 p.m.; pendleton at redmond, 4:30 p.m.; Crook County at hood river Valley, 4:30 p.m.; la pine at harrisburg, 4:30 p.m. Softball: Summit at Mountain View, 4:30 p.m.; rid- geview at The dalles, 4:30 p.m.; redmond at pendleton, 4:30 p.m.; hood river Valley at Crook County, 4:30 p.m.; harrisburg at la pine, 4:30 p.m.; Culver at Kennedy, 4:30 p.m. Boys tennis: Summit at Bend, 4 p.m.; Madras at Sisters, 4 p.m. Girls tennis: Bend at Summit, 4 p.m.; Sisters at Ma- dras, 4 p.m. Boys golf: Mountain View invitational at awbrey Glen, 1 p.m. AMERICAN LEAGUE East Division W L Pct GB Boston 10 4 .714 — Baltimore 7 8 .467 3½ Tampa Bay 7 8 .467 3½ Toronto 7 8 .467 3½ new york 5 9 .357 5 Central Division W L Pct GB Kansas City 8 5 .615 — Cleveland 7 7 .500 1½ Chicago 6 8 .429 2½ Minnesota 6 8 .429 2½ detroit 6 9 .400 3 West Division W L Pct GB Seattle 9 5 .643 — los angeles 8 5 .615 ½ Oakland 8 7 .533 1½ houston 6 7 .462 2½ Texas 6 9 .400 3½ Friday’s Late Games Oakland 3, detroit 0 l.a. angels 10, Minnesota 3 Seattle 6, houston 5 Saturday’s Games Toronto 5, Kansas City 1, 7 innings, 1st game Tampa Bay 6, n.y. yankees 3 Oakland 7, detroit 0 Cincinnati 3, Cleveland 2, 10 innings Boston 7, Chicago White Sox 4 Kansas City 3, Toronto 2, 7 innings, 2nd game Baltimore 6, Texas 1 Minnesota at l.a. angels, ppd. houston at Seattle, late Sunday’s Games Tampa Bay (yarbrough 0-2) at n.y. yankees (Cole 2-0), 10:05 a.m. Chicago White Sox (Keuchel 0-0) at Boston (houck 0-1), 10:10 a.m., 1st game Cleveland (Bieber 1-1) at Cincinnati (Miley 2-0), 10:10 a.m. Toronto (ray 0-1) at Kansas City (Singer 0-2), 11:10 a.m. Baltimore (Means 1-0) at Texas (Gibson 2-0), 11:35 a.m. detroit (Boyd 2-1) at Oakland (Bassitt 1-2), 1:07 p.m. Minnesota at l.a. angels, ppd. houston (Odorizzi 0-1) at Seattle (Sheffield 0-1), 1:10 p.m. Chicago White Sox (TBd) at Boston (pérez 0-0), 2:10 p.m., 2nd game PREPS Football Bend All-City Team Offense Player of the Year: luke roberts, Mountain View QB: Jakoby Moss, MV; RB: luke roberts, MV; Ben Mar- tin, Bnd; WR: Jake hatch, MV; James Tiboni, MV; Blake Groshong, Bnd; TE: Sam larson, MV; OT: rory eck, MV; Cole persinger, Bnd; OG: Thomas Merkord, MV; Griffin Vollers, SuM; C: luke Williams, MV; K: Soren McKee, SuM; KR: Jake hatch, MV.

Skiing Continued from B1 Ross made a grueling come- back from a devastating right knee injury in March 2017 to qualify for the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, where she finished 15th in both the downhill and su- per-G. But in February 2019, she crashed during a downhill training run at the World Championships in Sweden and injured her left knee. “When I crashed there and injured myself, I was pretty certain I was going to be done,” Ross recalled. “I did want to give myself some time to make that decision final and as time went by, I warmed up to the idea of continuing to ski race.” Six months later, she decided to fully commit to racing again. She had a strong offseason of preparation, but then she rein- jured the left knee during giant slalom training in November 2020. “It healed really well, and about six weeks later I was back on snow and able to start racing again by mid-January,” Ross said. “It was a tough year. I had very few days on my speed skis training downhill and super-G. It was kind of tough to step back into World Cup racing without having that training. “As the season went on, I was happy to be there and happy Robert F. Bukaty/AP Bend’s Laurenne Ross skis to victory in the women’s U.S. Alpine Championship downhill race on April 10 in Aspen, Colorado. to be skiing, but I always had something in the back of my mind that was nagging at me and questioning whether I was doing the right thing.” Near the end of the World Cup season her skiing had im- proved, but then she crashed again in Italy. She injured her shoulder and could not race the next day. “I just sort of realized that I didn’t want to do that any- more,” she said. “I wasn’t will- ing to take that risk anymore. So I took about a month to think about things.” Ross said the constant inju- ries and subsequent recoveries were starting to wear on her. “It was just a long four years of injury after injury, and this slew of recoveries,” she said. “It was just starting to get old, and I am getting older and having aches and pains, and I want to be able to ski the rest of my life and enjoy the outdoors. That was a big part of my decision, for sure.” After her year off, Ross said she plans to get into sustain- able design, possibly attending graduate school in architec- ture. She also plans to do more backcountry skiing and tour- ing. She wants to ski for the rest of her life, but her racing days are done. “I’m pretty excited to not have to fear for my safety all the time,” Ross said, “and not have that intensity brought to every single run of every day, and kind of let go of that and just enjoy skiing.” e e Reporter: 541-383-0318, mmorical@bendbulletin.com
