Bowling: Kent wins junior world title

BANGKOK — Marshall Kent needed a golden touch Monday just to stay alive in the 12th World Youth Bowling Championships.

Tuesday, he became a gold medalist.

Kent, who barely advanced to the final day, won twice Tuesday, beating top-seeded Basil Low of Singapore 196-188 in the semifinals, and then Japan’s Shusaku Asato 226-197 to capture the boys championship.

“I was lucky to make the semifinals and was also lucky to have beaten the top seed to reach the final,” the Yakima bowler said in a story posted on the event’s website, www.worldyouth2012.

In the final, Kent took the lead after Asato had an open third frame, but gave it back after the Japanese bowler had a double in the fourth and fifth frames while Kent had an open fifth. Kent responded with three strikes in a row to retake the lead, and then closed out the victory by striking out in the 10th frame.

“The finals was a close match … but I’m glad I came off better,” Kent said. “To win the gold is not an easy task by any means, especially when there are so much talented bowlers here.”

Kent’s biggest test probably came Monday, when he needed to roll a 244 in his sixth and final game just to gain the semifinals.

Seven straight strikes put Kent in a strong position to advance but he had an open ninth. After two strikes to start the 10th frame, the 19-year-old needed nine pins to advance, but got just eight, leaving him tied with Australia’s Sam Cooley with 1,317 total pins. But Kent had a higher final game than Cooley, 244-236, to claim the tiebreaker and the final semifinal spot.

Kent became the second straight U.S. bowler to win this title and the third overall.

This latest title continues a remarkable year for the West Valley High graduate. Earlier this year, Kent won the United States Bowling Congress Team USA trials, earning him a berth in the U.S. Open, and earned a spot on Junior Team USA. He also capped his freshman season at Robert Morris College in Chicago by being named national men’s most valuable player, rookie of the year, first-team all-American, and academic all-American.

Bears stumble late in Tri-Cities

PASCO, Wash. — A day after winning a game with a late-inning home run, the Yakima Bears had the tables turned on them Tuesday night.

Matt Argyropoulos’ two-out, two-run homer in the bottom of the eighth inning lifted Tri-City to a 3-1 victory over the Bears in Northwest League play at Gesa Stadium.

On Monday, Yakima’s Josh Parr clubbed a grand slam in the 11th inning for a 7-3 victory in the first game of the series.

With Tuesday’s game knotted at 1-1 in the eighth, Yakima reliever Frank Santana replaced Kyle Owings and had a great start, striking out the first two batters he faced. But then he yielded a single to Miguel De Leon followed by the game-winning clout by Argyropoulos over the left-field fence.

The loss spoiled nearly seven innings of stellar pitching by two Yakima pitchers. Starter Bobby O’Neill worked three scoreless innings with three hits and two strikeouts, and Owings accounted for 32/3 innings with just two hits, four strikeouts and no walks.

The Bears tied the game in the sixth inning with a two-out rally. Michael Lang singled, moved to second when Shaun Cooper was hit by a pitch and then scored on Jacob House’s single to right.

Lang and Ronnie Freeman were both 2 for 4 with the rest of Yakima’s lineup going 3 for 25.

Tri-City starter Joshua Slaats scattered four singles over six innings and walked only one.

Yakima, which maintained its East Division lead at 6-6, plays one more game in Pasco today before the series moves to Yakima on Thursday.

Opponent: Tri-City Dust Devils.

Ike club honoring English

YAKIMA, Wash. — With a teaching and coaching career that spans over 30 years, Phil English has mentored thousands of student athletes and worked tirelessly on their behalf.

In appreciation of that ongoing effort, the Parents Club of Eisenhower cross country and track and field is hosting ‘An Evening With Mister’ this Saturday at 6:30 p.m. at Zesta Cucina Restaurant on Tieton Drive.

The Club is inviting former athletes and colleagues to celebrate the storied career of English, who has been at Eisenhower since 1986 and at Carroll for seven years before that. In these years he has helped raise over $14 million in college scholarship finds for his athletes.

“We wanted to bring together as many of his athletes from previous years to come back and talk about the good times and reacquaint with each other,” said Club president Nieves Negrete. “The social is just a way of saying thank you to our own force of nature.”

Negrete also noted that the timing for the event is all the more poignant with the recent passing of former Eisenhower standout Robbie Barany.

To RVSP for the event, which is also a fundraiser for the Club with an auction, contact Negrete at 930-5828 or [email protected] Single tickets are $75 with couples at $100.

Martin, Cole lead Women’s City

YAKIMA, Wash. — Pat Martin remained in the top spot at the Yakima Women’s City Tournament, but she has some company after Tuesday’s second round.

Robin Cole turned in a dazzling 2-over par 76 in wet, cool conditions at the Yakima Elks Golf and Country to grab a share of the lead with Martin, who fired a second-straight round of 81.

Their 162 totals are four shots better than five-time defending champion Nancy Eglin, who shot an 81 Tuesday. Chris Scacco is fourth at 168.

Martin, an eight-time winner, is looking for her first City title since 2006, while Cole is seeking her first City crown.

Olive Ruff holds a four-shot lead in the First Flight, and Kris Sterns had a two-shot advantage over Cathy Buchanan and Janet Bassell in Second Flight.

In the net competition, Cole is first in the Championship Flight, and Ruff and Pat Mosley led the First and Second flights, respectively.

After an off day today, the field will finish up Thursday at Apple Tree Golf Course. Players will have a shotgun start at 8 a.m.

Notes

WHERE’D HE GO? Those wondering about Blake Perry, who in Wednesday night’s home opener pitched 21?3 innings of scoreless, hitless relief, fanned his final five hitters and hadn’t been seen since, need only check Yakima’s starting rotation (see above).

“I’m starting tomorrow night,” Perry, a hard-throwing 6-foot-5, 190-pounder, explained Sunday. “I started the year in South Bend and had a few good outings and a few not so good. So I came here to get some work in, get my innings up and hopefully get back there.

“While I’m here, I’ll just try to have some fun and help the team get some wins.”

Perry, you might recall, jokingly said after Wednesday night’s game that he’d blacked out during his strikeout streak.

“If that’s actually what happened — and I’m not sure it was — I’ll try to replicate it tomorrow,” he said.

 

NEW ARRIVALS: The Bears added three players to their roster since Saturday night’s game.

Outfielder Mike Lang was acquired from the Sioux City Explorers of the independent American Association. A Rutgers alum, Lang was hitting .405 in 34 games for the Explorers.

Kyle Owings, a right-handed pitcher and younger brother of Chris Owings who’s pitching at Class AA Mobile, was promoted from the Arizona Diamondbacks Rookie League team.

And infielder Jesus Abreu came in from Missoula of the Pioneer League where he’d played in only two games.

To keep Yakima’s roster at 30, the Northwest League limit, outfielder Henry Zabala was released after Sunday’s game. Zabala had appeared in only three of the Bears’ 10 games and was hitting .125 (1 for 8) with a homer and two RBI.
