Raptors sign first-round draft pick THE CANADIAN PRESS TORONTO — The Toronto Raptors signed their first-round draft pick Terrence Ross, the club announced Tuesday. The guard from University of Washington signed a rookie two-year contract, with two team option years to follow.

FAY: Riggers continuing to play well “But we have at least one playoff game,” he said. His only disappointment on the football front this season came last Saturday when the Edmonton Army forfeited their game to the Bucs. It was to be the opening game of the new artificial turf in Lacombe. “That was a big disappointment. I was ready, then at the last second they called and defaulted.” Fay was in the starting lineup in left field for the Riggers Tuesday and was two-for-three with a walk and scored twice. He pitched a scoreless, hitless ninth inning in relief of starter Joel Peterman. “It was nice to contribute,” said Fay, who hit eighth and along with Shayne Court, who batted ninth, collected four of the Riggers 11 hits, scored three times and drove in three runs. Court had two RBIs, a single, double and sacrifice fly. “It was nice that we could work our way around the bases,” said Fay. “There were a few hit and runs and stolen bases . . . it worked out
The six-foot-seven, 197-pound Ross was selected by Toronto with the eighth overall pick in this year’s draft. He averaged 16.4 points and 6.4 rebounds in his second and final season with the Huskies. The Raptors open their five-game NBA Summer League schedule on the campus of the University of Nevada-Las Vegas on Friday against the Houston Rockets. well.” Peterman, who threw 130 pitches, won for the second straight game as he allowed two earned runs while scattering nine hits, walking four and fanning four. “He’s been good for us,” said Fay. “He’s found his rhythm and when he’s throwing strikes he’s tough.” And the team continues to play well, at the plate and on defence. Once again they turned in a pair of spectacular defensive plays as second baseman Denver Wik ranged far to his left to snare a lopping line drive in the first inning and right-fielder Jaret Chatwood made a outstanding diving catch to end the seventh inning with two men on. “Right now we’re playing loose and that’s when we play our best,” said Fay. Wik added a pair of hits for the Riggers while Matt Fay had a single, was hit once and walked. Jason Chatwood singled and walked twice while Curtis Mazurkewich had a single and a walk. The Riggers open play in the Kamloops tournament Thursday at 3:30 p.m. (MDT) against the Northwest Honkers. They clash with Everett Friday at 12:45 p.m. and the host Kamloops squad Saturday at 10 a.m. They play Tuesday in St. Albert and return home July 24 against Fort Saskatchewan. The Red Deer Stags are at home Thursday when they host Fort Saskatchewan at 7:30 p.m. drode@reddeeradvocate.com

MLB: ‘We’re all equals here.’ “They came out. They swung the bats. Once they got the lead, started bringing those arms in their hand, and they got the job done.” Jones, retiring at the end of the season, also had one last All-Star moment, pinch hitting in the sixth and singling just past second baseman Ian Kinsler and into right field. Jones chuckled as the ball rolled through. “Whether you’re 19 or 40, we are all equals here,” Jones said during his pregame speech to the NL. Harper, at 19 the youngest position player in AllStar history, had a shaky start when he entered in the fifth. The heralded rookie, wearing shiny gold shoes, didn’t flash a Gold Glove and lost Mike Napoli’s routine fly to left in the lights, allowing it to drop behind him for a single. He then caught Kinsler’s basesloaded flyball to end the inning, earning cheers from the crowd of 40,933 at Kauffman Stadium, spruced up by a $250 million renovation that was completed three years ago. Harper did draw a walk and tagged up on a long fly, but later got himself hung up in a rundown and tagged out. Trout, among a record five All-Star rookies, had a nice showing against two very different pitchers. The Angels outfielder singled and stole a base against Dickey’s knuckleball, then drew a walk against Chapman and his 101 mph heat.

BRIEFS 10 local athletes selected for Alberta Summer Games Ten Red Deer athletes have been selected to compete for the Zone 4 inline team at the Alberta Summer Games, July 26-29 in Lethbridge. Jackson Obrone, Luke Coleman, Justin Anderson, Caden Shybunka, Kyle Jones, Dawson Weatherill, Kody Knash, Landon Mackenzie, Kirt Fortney and Abagael Thiessen are from Red Deer. The other two team members are Shane Frisneth of Sylvan Lake and Zachary Knight of Lacombe.
Local inline skaters play big role for Team Canada Five Central Albertans played a key role for Team Canada at the Amateur Athletic Junior Olympics International inline hockey tournament in California. Jordan Rathwell of Innisfail, Brett Frisneth and Brett White of Sylvan Lake and Bryce Lightbown and Conner Veroba of Red Deer helped the Canadian team beat a second Team Canada 6-5 in overtime in the gold medal final of the 16-year-old division. Frisneth played a key role in the victory as he came into goal after the second period and the team trailing 3-1. They took a 5-4 lead, only to see their opposition tie the game late with their goalie on the bench. It was the first time a Canadian team has won gold in the division. Meanwhile, Team Canada also captured the 18-year-old title. The Canadian squad included four Central Alberta players — Tanner Howe, Landon Hiebert, Clayton Swan and Joel Scheeler.
Jocelyn Alford shoots course record St. ALBERT — Jocelyn Alford of Calgary’s Earl Grey course shot a course record five-under par 67 to take the opening day lead in the 72-hole Sun Life Financial Ladies’ Amateur golf championship at the Sturgeon Valley Golf and Country Club Tuesday. Alford, a native of Red Deer, is one stroke ahead of Jennifer Ha of Calgary, who won the junior girls’ title last
“I’m going to remember this the rest of my life,” Trout said. Cain pitched the 22nd perfect game in big league history last month. He didn’t have to be perfect in this one, allowing one hit in two innings for the win. “For those guys to go out and score five runs in the first inning was definitely a little more relaxing for me,” he said. “But I still tried to stay focused.” Cain was followed by 10 relievers, with Jonathan Papelbon getting the last out with a runner on third base. Verlander had a puzzling outing. In games that count, he hasn’t allowed five runs in an inning since April 2010, according to STATS LLC. He became the first All-Star to give up a five-spot since Houston’s Roger Clemens in front of his hometown fans in 2004. “It was pretty difficult for me to get the ball down today,” said Verlander, who admitted he approached this differently than a regular-season start. In a 35-pitch inning, he threw five pitches clocked at 100 mph and another at 101. “But I had fun,” he said. “That’s why I don’t try to throw 100 in the first inning. But this is for the fans. It doesn’t usually work out too well for me.” A crowd clad in red, white and blue T-shirts cheered during pregame introductions for hometown star Billy Butler, who dropped his cap when he tried to wave it. Fans booed the New York Yankees’ Robinson Cano, who angered local fans when he bypassed Butler for Monday night’s Home Run Derby. Not since Game 7 of Kansas City’s 1985 World Series over the Cardinals had the baseball world descended on the Royals’ ballpark, a rare 1970s beauty known for its 322-foot-wide fountain in right and the 105-foot-high scoreboard topped by a crown. Cabrera, a former Yankee and Royal, singled with

Innisfail golfers lead the way ROCKY MOUNTAIN HOUSE — A pair from Innisfail led the way at the McLennan Ross/Sun Junior Golf Tour event at Pine Hills Golf Club Monday. Cody Phillips came in with a 77, one stroke ahead of Joey Ramsell. The pair also finished one-two in the 17-19 year-old division. Logan Gordon of the host club came in fourth with an 80 while Evan Zubot, also of Pine Hills, tied with Blaine Vanderhouten of Whitecourt at 83 and for fifth. They were also all in the 17-19 year-old division. Chandler McDowell of Red Deer was seventh overall with an 85, which placed him first in the 14-and-under division, where he finished one stroke ahead of Sikander Kaleka of Stony Plain and five up on Korbin Allan of Sylvan Lake. Jace Oulette of Innisfail was fourth with a 96 and Sam Beaver-Hawman of Pine Hills shot a 99 to tie for sixth. Jaxon Lynn of Sylvan Lake won the 15-16 year-old category with an 86 while Greg Poles of Innisfail shot a 95, Clay Zaleski of Caroline a 99 and Justin Gelowitz of Sylvan Lake a 100. Emily Creaser of Edmonton won the girls’ title with a 93 while Courtney Dickson of Innisfail shot a 99. The tour is in Lacombe today and stops in Ponoka next Monday.
Chiefs capture gold The Red Deer Chiefs novice 3 team captured gold in the Central Alberta Lacrosse League and will compete in the provincials this weekend in Lacombe. Meanwhile, the Red Deer novice A team finished second in the Canada Day tournament in Calgary. It’s the first time in three years the team has won a medal at the tournament. The Red Deer Collin Barrow Rage are the premier U12 A girls’ softball team in the province. The Rage, who also won the Girls’ Prairie Softball League title, whipped the host Wetaskiwin Wild 16-3 in the gold medal game of the provincial championships during the weekend. The Rage reached the final with a 15-0 win over the Edmonton Warriors. In round-robin play the Red Deer squad beat the Wild 16-1, St. Albert 18-6 and the Warriors 21-6.
one out in the first and scored on a double to deep right by Braun, the reigning NL MVP. Verlander threw six straight balls during consecutive two-out walks to Carlos Beltran and Buster Posey. Wearing shiny gold-and-orange spikes for the occasion, Sandoval sent a drive off the base of the wall in the right-field corner for a 4-0 lead. He scored when Dan Uggla grounded to the shortstop hole and first baseman Prince Fielder failed to come up with Derek Jeter’s one-hop throw, leaving Uggla with an infield hit.
