• Ducks top Pilots: Oregon recovered from an early two-run deficit to record a 6-4 victory over Portland on Wednesday afternoon in Portland. With the game knotted at 4-4 after seven innings, the Ducks (16-14) capitalized on a Portland error to take a two-run lead in the top of the eighth that stood up. Paul Esheleman was two for four and plated the game-winning run. Stefan Sabol was two for three with an RBI, run scored and double.

Prep sports • Local equestrian teams ready for final district meet: With an eye on next month’s state competition, high school riders from around the region will take part this weekend in the third meet of the 2011 season for the Central District of Oregon High School Equestrian Teams (OHSET). The meet, the final district competition of the season, is scheduled for Friday through Sunday at the Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center in Redmond. Events are scheduled for all three days in the Hooker Creek Event Center. Competition is expected to get under way at approximately 8:30 a.m. each day. The teams making up the OHSET Central District represent Redmond, Bend, Mountain View, Summit, Madras, Crook County, La Pine, Sisters, Hood River Valley, The Dalles Wahtonka, Pendleton, Dufur and Lakeview high schools. Riders this weekend are competing to qualify for the 2011 state meet, scheduled for May 19-22 at the Deschutes fairgrounds. Events scheduled for Friday include equitation over fences, dressage, hunt seat equitation, saddle seat equitation, in-hand obstacle relay, working pairs and drill. Saturday’s scheduled events are stock seat equitation, working rancher, showmanship, trail, in-hand trail, driving, reining, breakaway roping, steer daubing and team penning. On Sunday, scheduled events include bi-rangle, Canadian team flags, barrels, poles, keyhole, individual flags and figure eight. The district event is free to spectators, and vendors will be on site.
Basketball • Williams leaving Arizona: Arizona forward Derrick Williams is heading to the NBA after two program-rebuilding seasons in the desert. The Pac-10’s player of the year announced Wednesday that he will sign with an agent and won’t return for his junior season. Williams averaged 19.5 points and 8.3 rebounds while shooting 59 percent as a sophomore this past season, leading the Wildcats to the West Regional final after missing the NCAA tournament the year before. Williams has been projected as a lottery pick because of his athleticism and versatility. • NBA suspends Villanueva: Charlie Villanueva of the Detroit Pistons has been suspended for five games without pay for initiating an on-court altercation with Cleveland’s Ryan Hollins. NBA vice president Stu Jackson announced the suspension Wednesday. He says Villanueva also tried to “escalate the altercation by entering the Cavaliers’ locker room on two occasions following his ejection.” • Bynum’s knee injury not serious for Lakers: Andrew Bynum’s latest knee injury probably won’t keep the Los Angeles Lakers’ shot-blocking center out of their playoff opener. The Lakers breathed a collective sigh of relief after Bynum’s MRI on Wednesday showed only a bone bruise. The oft-injured 7-footer hyperextended his troublesome right knee during Los Angeles’ win over San Antonio on Tuesday night. Bynum was hurt during the second quarter against the Spurs when he fell awkwardly to the court after stepping on DeJuan Blair’s foot while getting back on defense. The Lakers have at least one ailment they can’t shake: Backup guard Steve Blake is out indefi-
• NFL meets judge; Goodell expected at mediation: One month and two days after the NFL and its players cut off negotiations on a new collective bargaining agreement and put the 2011 season in peril, the two sides will return to the table for court-ordered mediation today with a key legal ruling on the lockout still pending. NFL executives met with U.S. Magistrate Judge Arthur Boylan on Wednesday for five hours the day before the first talks between the league and the players since the middle of March. Executive vice president Jeff Pash, the NFL’s lead negotiator, was at the federal courthouse along with other officials and outside counsel. Lawyers for the players met with Boylan for about four hours on Tuesday. Larger contingents are expected when mediation begins in Boylan’s chambers, including commissioner Roger Goodell himself. League spokesman Greg Aiello said Goodell will attend along with some of the owners. • NFL’s rookie pitch: Divert $300 million from first rounders: The NFL’s proposal to the players for a rookie compensation system would divert about $300 million a year from first-round draft picks’ contracts to veterans and player benefits. According to documents obtained by The Associated Press, the league’s offer would free more than $1.2 billion by 2016 and slow the growth rate of guaranteed payments to first-rounders, which the documents show increased by 233 percent since 2000. All contracts for first-round picks would become fixed at five years. • Big 12, Fox Sports reach TV agreement: The Big 12 Conference and Fox Sports announced a 13-year cable TV deal Wednesday that officials say will ensure the long-term stability of the league. Financial terms were not disclosed. Sports Business Journal has reported that the contract, which starts with the 2012 football season, will pay the conference $90 million a year. The Big 12 also has a deal with ABC-ESPN running through 2015-16 that would raise the conference’s total TV rights revenue to a reported $130 million annually. • ABC to televise LSU-Oregon game: LSU’s season-opener against Oregon in the Cowboys Classic on Sept. 3 in Arlington, Texas will be televised nationally by ABC. Kickoff between the Tigers and the Ducks is set for 7 p.m. local time (5 p.m. Pacific) from Cowboys Stadium. Oregon posted a 12-1 mark a year ago with its only loss coming to Auburn, 22-19, in the BCS National Championship Game. LSU is coming off an 11-2 overall mark in 2010, capped with a 41-24 win over Texas A&M in the Cotton Bowl.
Soccer • Spain leads FIFA rankings: World Cup winner Spain has stayed on top of the FIFA rankings, while Brazil and Italy moved into the top 10. Spain leads longtime No. 2 the Netherlands, with Brazil improving two places to No. 3. Italy ends a seven-month exile from the top 10, rising two places to ninth. The United States leads CONCACAF teams at No. 22 despite falling for the second straight month. Germany and Argentina are fourth and fifth as each fell one spot.
Cycling • Ventoso wins first stage of Castilla: Spaniard Fran Ventoso won the first stage of the Vuelta de Castilla and Leon in Spain on Wednesday, while Alberto Contador placed 15th in his final Giro d’Italia tuneup. Ventoso won a sprint to finish the 108.3-mile leg in 4 hours, 12 minutes, 57 seconds, ahead of Manuel Belletti of Colnago-CSF Inox and Marco Kump of Geox-TMC. — From wire reports

NHL ROUNDUP
Capitals beat Rangers in playoff opener thanks to overtime goal The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Alexander Semin had gone 14 playoff games without a goal, a troubling trend for a Washington Capitals team that has endured too many postseason disappointments in recent years. It took almost 80 minutes of hockey in game No. 15 to finally end the drought. Semin scored 18:24 into overtime Wednesday night to give the Capitals a 2-1 win over the eighth-seeded New York Rangers in Game 1 of their first-round series, a welcome bit of relief to the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference. “We’re not getting anywhere without Alex Semin scoring,” Washington coach Bruce Boudreau said. “We need him to go and create that other offensive threat.” Semin scored 28 times in the regular season and has been Washington’s best offensive threat after Alex Ovechkin for several years, but he was blanked in seven-game series losses to Pittsburgh two years ago and Montreal last year. His last playoff goal also came against the Rangers in the seventh game of a first-round series in 2009. He came close in the first period Wednesday, hitting the crossbar with five minutes to play in the first period, about a half-minute before Jason Arnott also clanged one off the net frame. Arnott and Semin teamed up for the winning goal, when Arnott intercepted a clearing pass from defenseman Marc Staal and found Semin between the circles for a one-timer past Henrik Lundqvist. Semin is notoriously averse to speaking to reporters and didn’t have much to say about his big moment, but his teammates knew its significance. “Last year he was little bit upset he didn’t score a goal,” Ovechkin said. “And right now it’s very important for him to score a goal, step up and show

Michal Neuvirth made 24 saves to win his NHL playoff debut. Lundqvist stopped 31 shots for the Rangers.
