Bolt wins his final race on home soil By BRENT STUBBS Senior Sports Reporter bstubbs@tribunemedia.net

nthonique Strachan, Ty’Nia Gaither, Tamara Myers and Leevan ‘Superman’ Sands all competed in the second Racers Grand Prix in Kingston, Jamaica, on Saturday as they joined in the festivities for Usain Bolt as the world’s greatest sprinter said farewell to his local fans. It was Bolt’s final race on home soil before a jam-packed crowd in the National Stadium and with a celebrity of world-class athletes on hand as the multiple Olympic and world gold medallist participated in his final domestic race as he gets set to retire after the IAAF World Championships in London, England. Although the Jamaica Amateur Athletic Association has not yet held their final trials for the team heading to London, Bolt will be exempted from competing as he will take advantage of his wild card as the defending champion. A nervous Bolt got off to a slow start, but made up the difference as he delighted the crowd that included IAAF president Lord Sebastian Coe and Jamaican Prime Minister Andrew Holness to win in 10.03 seconds. “The run, it was just okay. I must say it was okay. I don’t think I’ve ever been that nervous running a 100m,” Bolt said after a huge victory lap of honour to pull the curtain down on a great night of athletic competition. Bolt, the holder of the two sprint world records (100-200), eight Olympic gold and 13 world cham-

JONQUEL JONES POSTS 4TH DOUBLE DOUBLE OF SEASON IN SUN’S FIRST HOME WIN OF THE YEAR By RENALDO DORSETT Sports Reporter rdorsett@tribunemedia.net JONQUEL Jones posted her fourth double double of the season and led the Connecticut Sun to their first home win of the year. Jones finished with 20 points and 14 rebounds to lift the shorthanded Sun to a dominant 104-71 over the Atlanta Dream at Mohegan Sun Arena on Saturday night. The performance lifted her averages to 14.5 points, a league leading 12.8 rebounds and 1.2 blocks in just over 27 minutes per game. The Sun dressed just nine players against the Dream which won eight consecutive matchups between the teams headed into Saturday night’s contest. One of the nine players available was rookie Feyonda Fitzgerald, who was signed Thursday and had yet to log a minute in the WNBA. Down two starters, Jones was

key in the Sun improving to 3-5 with her effort in the second half. The Dream fell to .500 with a 4-4 record. The Sun began the season with four consecutive losses but have since gone 3-1. The Sun went ahead to stay midway through the first quarter and led 44-32 at halftime. The Dream, which committed 21 turnovers, cut the lead to eight in the third quarter but the Sun pulled away from there. “Everybody just came ready to play. Everybody was locked in,” Jones said. “I think the gameplan was great but I think it was more of just us being willing to do whatever we needed to do to get the win.” Jones had eight points and three rebounds at the half but posted a double double in the second half alone with 12 points and 11 rebounds. The Sun would go on to outscore the Dream 35-19 in the fourth quarter.

JONQUEL JONES “I’m proud we had the attention to detail in the scouting report. I think we did a lot of things we wanted to do against them. Offensively we had five people in double figures and even through the stale moments they stayed together,” Sun head coach Curt Miller said. “That was a hungry team in our

locker room and I’m proud of them.” The first home win for the Sun came as the team celebrated “Pride Night” at the Mohegan Sun Arena. The month of June is recognised as Pride Month around the WNBA and serves as a primary platform for the league. Former NBA star and current NBA Cares Ambassador Jason Collins addressed the crowd at halftime. A 13-year NBA veteran, Collins became the first openly gay athlete to play in any of the four major North American professional sports leagues after he came out in 2013. A portion of all ticket packages sold will go toward funding OutCT’s after-school programmes. The programme provides monthly meeting space where gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth can gather, socialise, network, have discussions and build peer support.

DEVYNNE CHARLTON LEADS THE WAY IN NCAA OUTDOORS By BRENT STUBBS Senior Sports Reporter bstubbs@tribunemedia.net THE 2017 National Collegiate Athletic Association’s (NCAA) Outdoor Championships came to a close over the weekend with four Bahamians competing in an individual final event. Leading the way was Devynne Charlton, who rebounded from an injury that prevented her from competing outdoors last year, including an appearance at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, as she settled for fifth in the women’s 100m hurdles in the women’s day on Saturday. Charlton, a junior at Purdue University, clocked 12.74 seconds in the keenly contested race that saw Tobi Amusan take the tape in 12.57, just ahead of Jasmine Camacho-Quinn, a sophomore from Kentucky, who trailed in 12.58. Rushelle Burton, a freshman from Texas, was third in 12.65. The only other Bahamian athlete in a final on the track was Katrina Seymour, a senior at East Tennessee State, who finished in eighth place in the women’s 400m hurdles in 59.68. Sage Watson, a senior at Arizona, stopped the clock in 54.52 for the gold. Anna Cockrell, a freshman at the University of South Carolina, got second in 55.36 and her team-mate, senior Amalie Iuel, came through in third in 55.82. In the women’s triple jump final, Danielle Gibson closed out her collegiate campaign at Penn State with a sixth-place finish. Gibson, in her senior year, had a best leap of 13.36 metres or 43-feet, 10-inches in the event that was won by Keturah Orji, a junior from Georgia, who propelled to the top of the podium with 14.29m (46-10 3/4). Serena Brown, a freshman at Texas A&M, didn’t perform as expected. She didn’t get a legal throw in as she fouled out in the women’s discus, won by Shadae Lawrence, a sophomore at Kansas State, with a huge toss of 61.37m (201-4). On Friday in the men’s day of competition, Auburn’s senior Teray Smith ended up in eighth place. The Grand Bahamian clocked 20.84 as he watched Tennessee’s junior Christian Coleman complete a sprint double by adding the title in 20.25 to the 100m crown he captured earlier in the day in 10.04. No other Bahamian male competed in a final. However, in the semi-finals on Wednesday, Southeast Louisiana’s senior Andre Colebrooke was fourth in his heat, but his time of 50.67 was only good enough for 14th place in the men’s 400m hurdles.

Todd Isaacs hits solo home run to lead Captains to 6-5 win By RENALDO DORSETT Sports Reporter rdorsett@tribunemedia.net TODD Isaacs has had a flair for dramatics recently and his clutch hitting has led to wins for his Lake Country Captains. Isaacs hit a solo home run in the bottom of the ninth inning to lead the Captains to a 6-5 win over Lucius Fox and the Bowling Green Grasshoppers at Classic Park in Eastlake, Ohio, on Friday night. It was Isaacs’ seventh home run of the season, which moved him into a tie for

third on the Captains’ roster In game two of the series Saturday night, Isaacs continued his production at the plate. He finished 2-3 with a double, two RBI, one run scored and one stolen base in the Captains’ 9-2 win. Fox finished 1-4 in game one and was 0-5 in game two. Isaacs’ heroics against the Hot Rods came just days after he led the Captains to 2-1 win over the Fort Wayne TinCaps on June 6. Isaacs was the offensive hero for Lake County, scoring the tying run in the sixth

inning, then knocking in the go-ahead run in the top of the 13th with an RBI double. He finished 1-4 with a run scored, and one stolen base on the night. In 53 games, in his debut Class A Full Season in the Midwest League, Isaacs is hitting .211 with OPS of .629 with 17 runs scored, 24 RBI seven home runs and 14 stolen bases. In 2016, Isaacs was selected to the AllStar roster in the New York Penn League where he hit .333 with 20 RBI, six home runs, 14 stolen bases and an .898 OPS for the Mahoning Valley Scrappers in the Class A Short Season.

‘Sweet Bells’ Thompson: NBA talent level ‘way better now’

DWIGHT COLEBY COMMITS TO WESTERN KENTUCKY HILLTOPPERS By RENALDO DORSETT Sports Reporter rdorsett@tribunemedia.net

GOLDEN State Warriors guard Klay Thompson speaks after Game 3 of the NBA Finals. At left is his father, Mychal Thompson. By RENALDO DORSETT Sports Reporter rdorsett@tribunemedia.net THE dominance of the Golden State Warriors this season has sparked debate among current and former NBA players and Bahamian basketball icon Mychal “Sweet Bells” Thompson recently weighed in on the discussion. Thompson appeared as a guest on the “The Doug Gottlieb Show” on Fox Sports Radio and made a surprising revelation to some as one of the few players from a previous era to admit the Warriors would have the advantage over his former team. Thompson won backto-back NBA titles with the Los Angeles Lakers in 1987 and 1988, but said his son Klay and this edition of the Warriors would have the advantage in the hypothetical matchup. “[The talent level] It’s way better now. We had 7-8 guys, the Warriors can go 10-11 deep and they may not score a lot of points, but these guys know how to play,” he said. “They’re very versatile, they can beat you inside and outside. They don’t have a Kareem posting up in the middle, but hey, Kevin Durant can post up, Klay can score in the post, Draymond can get points in the lane, so they don’t have a classic post up player but they know how to do it and our Laker teams couldn’t shoot like the Warriors can so to me this Warriors team would beat us.” Thompson’s former teammate and architect of the “Showtime” Lakers offence, Magic Johnson, recently said his Lakers would sweep the Warriors in a best-of-seven series. Johnson, now the Lakers team president, was speak-

ing at an event which also featured the head coach for “Showtime,” Pat Riley, now the president of the Miami Heat. Other former players, including Julius Irving, Rasheed Wallace, Richard Hamilton and Raja Bell have all made headlines, giving voice to the notion that teams from previous eras remain superior to teams of today – the Warriors in particular. Thompson, in his unique position as a member of the Lakers, but a son who currently plays for the Warriors has been one of the few dissenting voices. Prior to the start of the Finals, through 12 postseason games, Klay was averaging 14.4 points per game on 38 per cent shooting from the field and 36 per cent shooting from three and taking about five fewer shots than he did during the regular season. His struggles continued in game one of the Finals, but his numbers improved dramatically in games two and three. The elder Thompson said that heading into a possible closeout game five, it’s all a matter of adjustment and getting involved early in the offence. “I think the last couple of games he got scoring early. When he gets involved early he gets into a rhythm and like Klay always says, when he sees the first few shots go down it helps you to relax and just play your game,” he said. “Before that, from what I was watching, he was standing around too much, not touching the ball often enough in the first quarter. Last couple of games he got involved early, shots have fell for him and it helped him get into a rhythm throughout the game.” Thompson also addressed rumours of Klay’s

(AP Photos/Ron Schwane) supposed unhappiness with his role on the team since they added former league MVP Kevin Durant to the roster last offseason. “When you talk to those people who question whether Klay is happy in the Bay playing with these teams and those superstars. Ask those same people would they like to average 25 points per game, win 42 games and be out in the first round of the playoffs or not make the playoffs and not make the Finals or play with other All-Stars, future Hall of Famers, average a little bit less and have a chance to win multiple rings.” The former No.1 overall selection in the 1978 NBA Draft, Mychal Thompson had his best statistical seasons with the Portland

Trailblazers, including the 1981-82 campaign when he averaged a double-double with career bests - 20.8 points and 11.7 rebounds per game. He saw a reduced role once he was traded to the Lakers, but has said the experience of playing for a contender and winning NBA titles supersedes individual accolades. “You can ask any young player in the league today who is maybe the face of their franchise and ask if they would like to change places with Klay. They’re watching the Finals, probably will be watching for years to come. They’re averaging a lot of points, but they won’t feel this excitement and opportunity to win rings. I bet you 9-10 of them would

trade places with Klay,” he said. “Anybody that has that argument, they don’t understand winners like Kevin McHale, winners like James Worthy, winners like Scottie Pippen or Joe Dumars, guys that won multiple rings but didn’t have to be the so-called face of the franchise. Klay is going to make enough money to last 10 lifetimes. When you get to this level, the only thing that matters is winning, winning, winning and the people that question that, I question their values in life.” • Game five of the NBA Finals tips off tonight at 9pm. The Warriors hold a 3-1 lead as the best-ofseven series shifts back to Oracle Arena in Oakland, California.

I know a lot of people really want to see me run it (200m) but the 100m will be the one cause I know people really want to see that also,” Bolt said. “I’m just going there to do my best and to come through victorious as always.” Although the night in Kingston belonged to the Jamaican superstar, the Bahamians tried to make their presence felt in the aftermath of it all in their respective events that included a match-up on the track that will be a prelude to the Bahamas Amateur Athletic Associations Nationals in Grand Bahama, June 23-24 as the Bahamas gets set to select its team for London.

into third place in 22.84. In the process, she surpassed the World Championship standard of 23.10. Gaither, running on the inside in lane three, fell short as she finished sixth in 23.25. It was an American sweep of the first two spots as Jenna Prandini took the tape in 22.57, followed by Kimberly Duncan in 22.61. Myers, just shy of the London qualifying mark of 14.10 metres or 46-feet, 3 1/4-inches, soared to second place in the women’s triple jump with her leap of 13.80m (45-3 1/2). Jamaican Shaniek ThomasRicketts cleared 14.31m (46-11 1/2) for the win. And men’s national record holder Leevan ‘Superman’ Sands had to settle for sixth place with his distance of 15.81m (51-10 1/2). He was well behind the London qualifying mark of 16.80m (55-1 1/2). His close friend and arch-rival American Christian Taylor, who is poised to defend his title at the World Championships, took the top of the podium with an impressive 17.20m (56-5 1/4).

overall. Smith also had some extra duties as he helped Auburn to a second place finish in the men’s 4 x100m relay in 38.48 behind Houton’s winning time of 38.34 and he was also on their 4 x 400m relay team

that got eighth in 3:12.22 as Texas A&M posted their second fastest time this year in winning in 2:59.98. The two other Bahamians to compete in an individual event were Shaquania Dorsett and Jenae Ambrose.

Dorsett, a sophomore at Florida State, got fifth in her heat of the women’s 400m in 53.56 for 17th place overall, while Ambrose, a sophomore at Auburn University, was seventh in her heat in 23.62 for 20th place.

AFTER a lengthy recruiting process, Dwight Coleby has reached a decision on the final destination in his NCAA basketball career. Coleby committed to the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers as a graduate transfer and will become immediately eligible for the upcoming Fall 2017 campaign. Hilltoppers head coach Rick Stansbury officially made the announcement and welcomed Coleby to the programme over the weekend. “As we continue to look to add veteran leadership, we’re very excited to have Dwight join our programme and family,” Stansbury said. “He brings invaluable experience to our frontcourt where it is much-needed following his two years at Ole Miss and his year playing at Kansas.” Stansbury was previously linked to Coleby after he originally recruited him during his tenure at Mississippi State while Coleby attended the Piney Woods School in Mississippi. A busy offseason for the Hilltoppers included signing JUCO star Jordan Brangers, Austin Peay transfer Jared Savage and has been highlighted by the highest rated incoming recruit in programme history, McDonald’s All-American and five-star prospect – Mitchell Robinson. In his second-year at the helm in Western Kentucky, Stansbury beat out teams for Robinson, the four-star Brangers, three stars Josh Anderson, Taveion Hollingsworth and Chris Duarte. He also added Marek Nelson, a small forward from Sunrise Christian Academy who reclassified from the 2018 class. Western Kentucky finished last season with a 15-17 record and lost in the second round of the Conference-USA tournament. Coleby announced his intention to leave the Kansas Jayhawks following his graduation from the institution in Lawrence, Kansas in May. The Hilltoppers beat out the VCU Rams, SMU, Stephen F Austin, Hampton, George Washington, DePaul and Seton Hall. Last season as a junior, Coleby averaged 1.7 points and 1.8 rebounds per game in his first season in a Jayhawks uniform. He was already set to spend the 2015-16 season on the sidelines as a transfer but he suffered a torn ACL in his left knee during a light team workout in October 2015 and had to undergo a gruelling rehab process. “We have truly enjoyed Dwight the past two years,” Jayhawks head coach Bill Self said. “He’s done everything we’ve asked him to do. It was unfortunate he tore his ACL his first year but he played a key role, especially late in the season, to the success we had this year. We not only support him but also agree that this could potentially help his post-college professional options. Dwight will always be looked upon by our programme as a Jayhawk. We respect everything that he’s done in the time he has been here.” He had his best game of the season in a February matchup against fellow Bahamian Shaquille Cleare and the Texas Longhorns, when he finished with 12 points, four rebounds and three steals. Following a standout high school career, Coleby signed with the Ole Miss Rebels out of the Piney Woods School in Mississippi. He entered Ole Miss as a highly touted recruit following his senior season at Piney Woods High School.

JUDGE 2 HRS, HITS DRIVE NEARLY 500 FEET, YANKS ROUT O’S 14-3 By ADRY TORRES Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — His day done, Aaron Judge put on a “Great Hambino” shirt — yellow and shortsleeved, loaded with images of a young boy pointing his finger and resting a bat over his shoulder, just like Babe Ruth. How fitting. Judge hit two more home runs, including a drive nearly 500 feet that cleared the distant bleachers at Yankee Stadium and sent New York romping past Baltimore 14-3 yesterday for its fifth straight win. Still, the rookie sensation with the shirt referencing a character from the movie “The Sandlot” didn’t sound too impressed. Unlike his teammates and a sellout crowd of 46,348, who were awed by Judge’s latest achievements. “If I know it’s going over the fence, I am going to start

jogging and just get around the bases and get back in the dugout,” he said. Yet even by his lofty feats, it was quite a power show by the 6-foot-7 Judge. He leads the majors with 21 homers and tops the AL with 47 RBIs and a .344 batting average. In the sixth, Judge launched a mammoth shot to left-centre field that was estimated at 495 feet, the longest homer in the majors this season, according to Statcast. The ball bounced off the bare hands of a fan standing behind a fence beyond the back row of the bleachers. Then again, out that far, who could expect to need a glove for a souvenir? The Yankees on the bench had their mouths wide open in amazement, pointing to where the ball travelled. Shortstop Didi Gregorius lifted up diminutive infielder Ronald Tor-

Judge sent a shot into the right-centre seats in his next at-bat, and also doubled earlier. “He hit a line drive to right field. It was just a line drive,” Yankees manager

Joe Girardi said. “Most guys, they’re hoping it gets in the gap. It just went out. I mean his power is incredible.” The 25-year-old Judge has done enough to lead all American League players in fan voting for starting

spots in the All-Star Game. The outfielder enhanced his credentials by going 4 for 4 with a walk, scoring four times and driving in three. Starlin Castro homered and drove in five runs for the AL East leaders. Gary Sanchez also connected, capping a five-run first inning off Kevin Gausman (3-5). “I think they swung at the first four pitches I threw, so obviously they’re all feeling pretty hot right now, feeling comfortable”, Gausman said. The Yankees scored at least eight runs for the fifth straight game, matching the team’s best streak since 1939. New York swept the three-game series, and outscored the Orioles and Boston 55-9 during this fivegame run. “I know these three days up here, last four days, actually, have been frustrating,” Orioles outfielder Adam

Jones said. “But let’s get the hell out of New York, let’s go to Chicago, redeem ourselves and just flip the script.” Adam Warren (2-1) got credited with the win, pitching 1 1/3 scoreless innings. Gausman gave up eight hits, seven runs and walked six in 3 1/3 innings. He walked Matt Holliday with one out to load the bases in the first and Castro began his big offensive day with a two-run single. Sanchez followed with his 10th homer. The Orioles, playing without injured All-Star third baseman Manny Machado (strained left wrist) for the fourth straight game, chased New York starter Chad Green in the third with back-to-back doubles that made it 5-1. Baltimore hit two more doubles, giving them four in a row, off reliever Chasen Shreve that reduced the Yankees’ lead to 5-3.

YOUNG HELPS ANGELS RALLY FOR 12-6 WIN OVER ASTROS By KRISTIE RIEKEN AP Sports Writer HOUSTON (AP) — Albert Pujols homered early and Eric Young Jr had a career-high four RBIs, including a three-run shot in a sixrun fifth inning and the Los Angeles Angels rallied for a 12-6 win over the Houston Astros yesterday. Pujols hit his 601st career home run and his 56th against the Astros in the first inning, and the Angels had a 3-0 lead in the third before Houston got going. The Astros scored six runs in the third and fourth innings combined, powered by homers from George Springer and Yuli Gurriel, to take a 6-3 lead. The Angels scored three runs to tie it up in the fifth before Young connected

off Michael Feliz (2-1) for his second home run this season to put the Angels up 9-6. Angels starter Jesse Chavez allowed four hits and six runs in 3 2-3 innings and rookie Keynan Middleton (1-0) pitched a scoreless fifth for his first career win. Rookie David Paulino, who moved into the rotation this month with three starters on the disabled list, allowed six hits and five runs in four innings. Kole Calhoun had two hits and three RBIs and Andrelton Simmons added two hits and two RBIs as the Angels won for the third time in four games. Danny Espinosa hit a bunt single with one out in the third before a single by Cameron Maybin. Maybin stole second base before a two-RBI single by Calhoun

pushed the lead to 3-0. Alex Bregman walked with one out in the third, but Houston trailed by three and didn’t have a hit with two outs in the inning when Springer hit his 17th homer in the seats in right field to cut the lead to 3-2. The Astros tied it at 3-all when Gurriel extended his hitting streak to a careerlong 11 games with his seventh home run with two outs in the fourth. A double into the gap by Nori Aoki gave Houston a 4-3 lead later in the inning. Springer drew a walk to chase Chavez. He was replaced by Blake Parker, who was greeted with an RBI single by Josh Reddick. Jose Altuve followed with a run-scoring single to left field to extend the lead to 6-3.

BASEBALL CAPSULES CUBS 7, ROCKIES 5 CHICAGO (AP) — Addison Russell had a goahead home run for his first big contribution since an absence in the wake of a Major League Baseball investigation into domestic abuse allegations, and the Cubs stopped the Rockies’ seven-game winning streak.

Russell and Kyle Schwarber connected for backto-back homers off Jordan Lyles (0-2) in the sixth inning. Miguel Montero and Ben Zobrist also went deep, helping the World Series champion Cubs even their record at 31-31. Russell played for the second time since missing the first two games of the

series. The MLB investigation began after claims of abuse against his wife were levied in a since-deleted social media post. Carl Edwards Jr. (2-0) won in relief of starter Jake Arrieta. Wade Davis gave up a run in the ninth before getting his 13th save in 13 chances. CARDINALS 6, PHILLIES 5 ST. LOUIS (AP) — Dexter Fowler hit a three-run homer for St. Louis, and Adam Wainwright tossed five solid innings. The Cardinals have won three in a row following a season-high seven-game losing streak. Daniel Nava homered for the Phillies, who have dropped five in a row. Philadelphia led 2-0 before Fowler connected against Aaron Nola (3-4) in the fifth inning. It was his ninth homer in his first season with St. Louis. Wainwright (7-4) gave up two runs and six hits, bouncing back nicely from a rough start at Cincinnati on Tuesday. Seung Hwan Oh pitched a rocky ninth inning for his 15th save. METS 2, BRAVES 1 ATLANTA (AP) — Seth Lugo pitched seven crisp innings in his season debut, leading the Mets to the road win. Lugo (1-0) came back from right elbow inflammation that had sidelined him all season, helping Mets starters post a 0.83 ERA over the last five games. He gave up one run and six hits. Lugo also doubled off Jaime Garcia (2-5) and scored in the third for a 2-1 lead. The Mets have won four of five heading into a 16game stretch against four teams that made the postseason last year. Addison Reed got his 11th save in 13 chances. Dansby Swanson had a sacrifice fly for Atlanta. The Braves have lost 16 of their last 21 home games against the Mets.

INDIANS 4, WHITE SOX 2 CLEVELAND (AP) — Carlos Carrasco took a shutout into the sixth and three relievers combined for 3 2/3 scoreless innings, leading Cleveland to the victory. Carrasco (6-3) was pulled after Todd Frazier’s tworun double cut Cleveland’s lead to one. The right-hander allowed seven hits, struck out four and walked one in 5 1/3 innings. Andrew Miller retired all five batters he faced, striking out three. Bryan Shaw pitched a scoreless eighth and Cody Allen finished for his 15th save, working around a one-out single. The White Sox have dropped nine of 11. Jose Quintana (2-8) allowed three runs in five innings, dropping to 0-4 in his last seven starts. PIRATES 3, MARLINS 1 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Ivan Nova pitched six shutout innings, Elias Diaz drove in two runs and the Pirates beat Jeff Locke and the Marlins. Nova (6-4) allowed one hit, struck out four and walked none. Locke (0-2) was charged with three runs and eight hits in 5 1/3 innings in his first start in Pittsburgh since he signed with Miami in free agency. The lefthander spent the first six years of his career with the Pirates. Ichiro Suzuki hit his second homer for Miami in the eighth. The 43-year-old Suzuki last hit more than one homer in a season in 2013. Felipe Rivero got his second four-out save in as many days. He threw just 12 pitches. RAYS 5, ATHLETICS 4 ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Mallex Smith had three hits and used his speed to set up the goahead run, helping the Rays take three of four from the Athletics.

Smith led off the seventh with a bunt single and went to third after reliever Daniel Coulombe (0-1) was charged with an error for an errant throw to first that ended up in the rightfield corner. Tampa Bay went ahead 5-4 when Corey Dickerson hit a sacrifice fly on the next pitch. Smith, recalled from Tri-

ple-A Durham on Friday to fill in for injured Gold Glove center fielder Kevin Kiermaier, also walked and went 8 for 14 in the series. Chase Whitley (2-1) got the win and Alex Colome worked a shaky ninth for his 18th save. Stephen Vogt had three RBIs for Oakland, which has lost eight consecutive road series.

Perfect 10: Nadal routs Wawrinka for record 10th French Open title By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer PARIS (AP) — As he sat in front of a TV to watch last year’s French Open final, sidelined by an injured left wrist, Rafael Nadal had no way to know for sure, of course, that he would return to the height of his powers. For the second time in a row, the most important match at the most important clay-court tournament was being contested without him. As the 2017 edition at Roland Garros began, Nadal’s drought without a Grand Slam title was stretching to three full years. “It was difficult,” said Nadal’s uncle and coach, Toni. “We were asking ourselves whether he would be able achieve this one more time.” Turned out he could, and he did, as masterful as at any time. Overwhelmingly good from start to finish in yesterday’s final, and for the entire two weeks, Nadal won his record 10th French Open title with a 6-2, 6-3, 6-1 victory over 2015 champion Stan Wawrinka. “A perfect Roland Garros for me,” Nadal said. Call it a Perfect 10. Or as the Nadals preferred: La Decima, Spanish for “The Tenth.” “I play my best at all events, but the feeling here is impossible to describe. It’s impossible to compare it to another place,” Nadal said. “The nerves, the adrenaline, I feel on the court are impossible to compare to another feeling. This is the most important event in my career.” Not only did Nadal win every set he played in the tournament, he dropped a total of only 35 games, the second fewest by any man on the way to any title at a

major tournament with all matches being best-of-fivesets in the Open era, which dates to 1968. “On paper, when you look at the scores, it all seems fairly easy,” Nadal said. “But it’s not.” No other man or woman has won 10 championships at the same major in the Open era. Along with improving to 10-0 in finals at Roland Garros, Nadal increased his haul to 15 Grand Slam trophies, breaking a tie with Pete Sampras for second place in the history of men’s tennis, behind only rival Roger Federer’s 18. It marked a stirring return to the top for Nadal at the site he loves the most: He is 79-2 at the French Open, 102-2 in all best-offive-set matches on clay. “He’s playing the best he’s ever played. That’s for sure,” said Wawrinka, who had won 11 matches in a row on clay. “But not only here.” True. Nadal leads the tour with four titles and 43 match wins this season and will rise to No. 2 in the ATP rankings today. Last year in Paris, Nadal withdrew before the third round, making the announcement while wearing a blue brace on his left wrist and resignation of his face. He couldn’t bring himself to watch much of the rest of the 2016 French Open, he said, other than some doubles matches involving a good pal, and the singles final. Finally back to full strength in the offseason, Nadal returned to work, reconstructing his forehand and redoubling his efforts to be elite. “Back in November, when we were together, I told him he needed to get his forehand back, to improve a bit his serve, to put on a champion’s face

(AP Photo/Michel Euler) again,” said Uncle Toni, gripping his chin for emphasis, “and to become the No. 1 on clay again. And here, we had the confirmation.” Nadal is no longer the 19-year-old who won the French Open in his debut in 2005, wearing long white pirate shorts, his flowing locks wrapped by a white headband, his sleeveless shirt revealing bulging biceps. Now he is 31, the shorts are shorter, the hair more closely cropped, the shirt has sleeves. His game? Better. Nadal won again at Roland Garros in 2006, 2007 and 2008. After a fourthround loss on bad knees in 2009, he grabbed five consecutive French Opens

UNSEEDED OSTAPENKO, JUST 20, WINS IN PARIS AND HER 1ST TITLE By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer PARIS (AP) — Right from the start of the French Open final, Jelena Ostapenko made quite clear to anyone unfamiliar with her name, or her game, what she is all about. Yes, she was just two days past her 20th birthday. Yes, she was ranked only 47th. Yes, she was trying to become the first unseeded women’s champion at the tournament since — get this — 1933. And yes, she was trying to become the first woman in nearly four decades to make a Grand Slam title the first tour-level triumph of her career. None of that mattered to Ostapenko. She began what would become an enthralling, 2-hour encounter by breaking No. 3-seeded Simona Halep at love with a series of grip-it-and-rip-it shots , eliciting loud, appreciative gasps from spectators. So what if Ostapenko wound up dropping that set, then facing big deficits in the second and third? Ostapenko never wavered, using bold strokes and an unbending will to come back and stun Halep 4-6, 6-4, 6-3 for an unlikely championship at Roland Garros. “Before the match, 5-10 minutes, I was a little bit nervous,” said Ostapenko, the first Latvian to win a major. “But then, when I went on court, I felt quite free.” Halep, a 25-year-old from Romania, was the 2014 French Open runner-up and would have moved up to No. 1 in the WTA rankings if she had won Saturday. She appeared headed for a runaway victory when up a set and 3-0 in the second, plus holding three break points for the chance to lead 4-0. But Ostapenko would not go quietly, winning that game and the next three en route to forcing a third set. “I felt a little bit nervous,” said Ostapenko, the first woman since Jennifer Capriati in 2001 to win the French Open after losing the final’s opening set. “But then I felt: ‘I have nothing to lose, so I’m just going to enjoy the match and do my best.’” She again summoned a veteran’s resolve down 3-1 in the third set, taking the match’s last five games and, fittingly, striking a pair of winners on the last two points. “Enjoy, be happy, and keep it going,” Halep told Ostapenko during the trophy ceremony , “because you’re like a kid.” Sure is. Quite a precocious one. Ostapenko was playing in only her eighth Grand Slam tournament and never had been past the third round before. Clay isn’t even her preferred surface — she likes grass better, and won the Wimbledon junior title in 2014 — which made this two-week joyride even more unpredictable. Consider: Last year in Paris, Ostapenko lost in the first round. The year before that, she lost in the first round of qualifying. “Everybody knows she can play very

2010-14. A quarter-final loss in 2015 ended that run, and then came last year’s injury. “Last year,” Nadal said, “was not an easy one.” On Sunday, the conditions were exactly to the liking of a guy who grew up on the island of Mallorca and still enjoys fishing in his down time. The sun was shining, there was barely a trace of cloud in the bright blue sky and the temperature was about 85 degrees (30 Celsius). Wawrinka insisted a five-set semi-final win Friday over No. 1-ranked Andy Murray did not take anything out of him physically. The problem against Nadal, Wawrinka said, was more mental.

“He puts this doubt in your head when you play against him,” said Wawrinka, who had been 3-0 in Grand Slam finals, including a victory over Nadal at the 2014 Australian Open. After netting a forehand in the second set, Wawrinka pounded his racket on his head several times. Later, he spiked that piece of equipment, then mangled it, breaking it over his knee. Nadal has that way of wearing down opponents. On this day, he was terrific. He won all 12 service games, made a mere 12 unforced errors and won 94 total points to Wawrinka’s 57. One area of significant improvement for Nadal is his serve. Once passable, it is now potent. Confronted with the match’s first break point, 10 minutes in, he solved the predicament this way: service winner at 107 mph (173 kph), ace at 117 mph (189 kph), service winner at 120 mph (194 kph). That would be Wawrinka’s lone break chance. When the ball was in play, Nadal barely missed at all. His groundstrokes were delivered with loud, long grunts, echoing in the otherwise mostly silent Court Philippe Chatrier, filled with 15,000 or so souls too rapt to speak. They did let out a burst of claps and roars in the second set on one particularly exquisite display: Nadal sprinted to his left to chase Wawrinka’s cross-court backhand wide of the doubles alley and whipped a forehand that curved around the net post and landed near a line for a winner. Even Wawrinka applauded that one. “Nothing to say about today,” Wawrinka told Nadal during the trophy ceremony. “You were too good.” Indeed. Good as ever.

INJURED SHARAPOVA PULLS OUT OF WIMBLEDON, GRASS CIRCUIT By HOWARD FENDRICH AP Tennis Writer PARIS (AP) — Maria Sharapova is skipping the grass-court season and will not try to qualify for Wimbledon because she has not recovered from an injured left thigh. The five-time major champion and former No. 1-ranked player announced Saturday in a posting on her official Facebook account that “an additional scan” showed that the muscle tear she got at the Italian Open last month will not allow her to return to competition yet. “I will continue to work on my recovery,” her message said. The agency that represents Sharapova confirmed that she will be sidelined until what she called her “next scheduled event,” the hard-court tournament in Stanford, California, that begins on July 31. Sharapova recently returned to the tour after a 15-month doping ban. She tested positive for the newly banned drug meldonium at the Australian Open in January 2016. Because her ranking, No. 178 this week, is still too low for direct entry into main draws, Sharapova has been participating in tournaments via wild-card invitations, beginning on red clay at Stuttgart, Germany, in April. She received a wild card for the grass-court event at Birmingham, England, which begins on June 19, but will now have to miss that tournament. The 30-year-old Russian was denied a wild card for the French Open, which she has won twice.

Calling All High

LATVIA’S JELENA OSTAPENKO, right, holds the trophy after winning the women’s final match of the French Open tennis tournament against Romania’s Simona Halep, left holding the runnerup trophy, on Saturday. (AP Photo/Christophe Ena) good, but I think nobody expected (her) to (do) what she did,” said Anabel Medina Garrigues, who began coaching Ostapenko in April. Asked why Ostapenko never won a WTA Tour event until now, Medina Garrigues began answering, then interrupted herself after 10 words and laughed. “I mean, I don’t know,” she said. “Actually, it’s something I cannot understand. It’s unbelievable.” The last woman to win her first tour-level title at a major was Barbara Jordan at the 1979 Australian Open. Not coincidentally, that was also the last time at any Grand Slam tournament that none of the women’s quarterfinalists had previously won a major championship. So Ostapenko stepped into the considerable opening created by the absences of Serena Williams (who is pregnant) and Sharapova (denied a wild card after a drug ban). Also missing was two-time major champ Victoria Azarenka, while No. 1 Angelique Kerber lost in the first round. Ostapenko burst onto the scene with a brash brand of tennis. Accenting shots with high-pitched exhales, she likes points quick. The impatience of youth not only showed up in Ostapenko’s play but also, occasionally, in her demeanor. When she’d miss, she would slap her thigh or crack her racket on the red clay or raise a palm as if to say, “What was up with that shot?” Things went her way to the tune of 54 winners, a remarkably high total that was 46 more than the defensive-minded Halep. Ostapenko also made 54 unforced errors, to Halep’s 10.

Stress test: High-wire Cavaliers still alive in NBA Finals By TOM WITHERS AP Sports Writer CLEVELAND (AP) — Go ahead, back them into a corner. Call them names. Write them off. The Cavaliers don’t care. For the fourth time in two years, Cleveland fought off elimination in the NBA Finals by winning just when it appeared their season was over. On Friday night, the Cavs turned anger over some comments made by Golden State’s motormouthed forward Draymond Green into energy and their best performance this season. They broke scoring records in a stunning 137-116 victory that shoved this “Three-match” between newschool rivals to the West Coast for Game 5 tonight. And while most teams would prefer not to live on the edge, the Cavaliers seem to thrive there. The only team to come back from a 3-1 deficit in the Finals, LeBron James and his buddies are basketball’s high-wire, high-risk act with no net to break their fall. It’s dangerous, and not for the faint of heart. “I don’t like it,” James said, drawing laughter after surpassing Magic Johnson in the record book with his ninth career Finals triple-

double. “It causes too much stress, man. I’m stressed out. Keep doing this every year. But listen, at the end of the day we just got some resilient guys.” The Cavaliers are still alive and have a chance to do what no other team has ever done in the NBA playoffs – rally from a 3-0 deficit. It’s been done on big stages in other sports, perhaps most famously by the 2004 Boston Red Sox, who strung together four wins over the New York Yankees to win the AL pennant on the way to their first World Series title since 1918. But in the 126 instances where NBA teams have fallen behind 3-0, none have recovered to win the series. Zero. That’s 0-126. Maybe these chaotic Cavs are just the team to do it. Stack up the odds, Cleveland conquers them. “We’re a resilient group, resilient team,” said Kevin Love, who made 6 of 8 3-pointers and scored 23 points. “We have been in this situation before. Every year’s different, every playoff series, every game, but we just are a team that never count ourselves out. “We feel like any game that we walk on the floor we have a great game plan and we expect to win. But we just continue to have that

Miami, the Cavs have handled injuries, constant scrutiny, drama – much of it self-inflicted – and even a midseason coaching change. There doesn’t seem to be anything that rattles them, so it should be no surprise that on the verge of being swept by a Warriors team James called a “juggernaut” and “beast” before the Finals began, Cleveland dug down deep again. Kyrie Irving knocked down seven of Cleveland’s 24 3-pointers – one of their three Finals scoring records – and had 40 points as the Cavs stopped Golden State’s 15game postseason winning streak and lived to see another game. The All-Star point guard, who made several Golden State defenders look silly with his darting moves, excels when things seem darkest. However, he can’t explain the defending champions’ ability to bounce back. “Every game is do or die, and we understand that,” he said. “We’re ready to live in it.” On Thursday, Green, whose suspension from last year’s Game 5 for hitting James in the groin helped swing the series to Cleveland, said he was looking forward to celebrating on Cleveland’s home floor for the second time in three years.

CAVALIERS forward LeBron James points to fans during Game 4 of the NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors in Cleveland.

Over the past three years since James returned from

And while the comments didn’t come across as excessively brash given that they were from Green, Irving said the Cavs were offended and inspired by them. “It’s part of the game,” Irving said. “But we knew what we were faced with. But then you add, of course, some chatter in there, and that adds some extra motivation. That taste wouldn’t have been the same if we would have lost tonight and they would have celebrated on our home floor. So I’ll just leave that at that.” The Cavs were also well aware that in the final minutes of Game 3 that Stephen Curry stopped on the floor and squatted in what many perceived to be an insulting gesture. The bottom line is that Cleveland has gotten these Finals to 3-1, a familiar situation that must give them a little comfort. James, though, wouldn’t concede the Cavs have the Warriors right where they want them. “No,” he said. “They got us where they want us. At the end of the day, we want to just try to put ourselves in position to play another game, and we did that and hopefully we can do it Monday night where we can come back here. So our mindset is try to go up there and get one.”
