Ingles was waiting for his insurance adjuster to arrive and begin the process of ﬁling a claim for his loss. His ﬁrst comments were regarding the ﬁreﬁghters’ efforts to contain the ﬁre. “I must commend the ﬁre departments. They did a fantastic job. Two buildings are gone, but most of the block was saved,” he said. “It is bad, but it could have been worse. They get all the praise.” As he looked at what remained of his burned-out store, he said he started the business in 1983 with the help of his father, who was the owner of Ingles Furniture and Appliance store in Middleport. “I had just graduated from college and I didn’t want to do what I went to college to study, so my dad suggested I start this business,” Ingles said. “I’m not sure what I will do next, but I’m optimistic. It’s in God’s hands. Maybe it’s a sign to move on. It’s a sad deal. I’ll just have to wait and see.” Middleport Mayor Sandy Iannarelli arrived at the scene a bit later Tuesday morning and said she had been up all night and was glad everyone was safe. Her ofﬁce had been receiving calls offering her support as soon as news of the ﬁre spread. She said one of the ﬁrst calls she received was from Congressman Bill Johnson, who advised her he was sending representatives to the area to offer assistance and support. Another call came from state Sen. Lou Gentile, who also offered support.

They just weren’t accustomed to seeing U.S. Congressman Bill Johnson serving them chicken. Johnson, an armed services veteran himself, has vowed to volunteer 100 hours of his time to a veterans-related charity or organization during 2016. On this particular day, Johnson was in town for the Gallia County Chamber of Commerce’s annual “I think if we started reaching out to one another as Americans, you’d see a different conversation on Main Street.” — Bill Johnson, R-Ohio U.S. Congressman “Meet Your Elected Ofﬁcials” event at Bossard Library. Shortly after 11 a.m., Johnson made his way over to VFW Post 4464 to spend a couple of hours serving and talking with veterans. “I’m a veteran and I think we all need to do a better job of appreciating what our nation’s heroes have done to protect our freedoms and to secure our safety here at home,” he said. Johnson said he has challenged his staff, constituents and all Americans to follow his lead by giving a bit of their time volunteering at local VA hospitals, assembling care packages for troops, reaching out to military families, getting involved with the Wounded Warrior Project, or supporting a vast array of other charities and veteran-related service organizations.

Funding in jeopardy for flood control plan FINDLAY (AP) — Ofﬁcials in northwest Ohio may be forced to abandon a ﬂood control project or pay for it with local money as federal funding for the plan is in jeopardy. A review by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in recent months found the project’s return on investment would be less than previously projected, which would make it ineligible for a 65 percent match in federal funds, The Blade reported. But the Army Corps is using a new model that accounts for changes in ﬂooding frequency, which could make it eligible for the funds. Rainfall has been less frequent but more intense in recent years and land usage has changed in the past 20 to 25 years, making historic fates of ﬂooding a potentially inaccurate gauge for what could happen in the future. The new approach uses data that shows a “clear and deﬁnite” change in the area, Army Corps ofﬁcials said. “What we are ﬁnding, especially in this area of the country, is that (past data) really isn’t reﬂective of what is actually happening,” said Mike Pniewski, an Army Corps project manager.

Philip Twine, was a logistics ofﬁcer in the Air Force when he was killed in the line of duty in 2002. In an instant, the Batavia native and fellow Air Force veteran became a single mother of four and the sole breadwinner for a family struggling with grief. She put her plans for a master’s degree on hold to focus on raising and supporting her children. Now, 14 years later, she is ﬁnally ready to fulﬁll her dream of higher education. The Marine Gunnery Sergeant John David Fry Scholarship provides Sherrod GI Bill beneﬁts to surviving spouses Brown Contributing and children of servicemembers who have died in the line of duty since Columnist 9/11, but those beneﬁts expire after 15 years. That means Ms. Twine doesn’t have the time to complete a master’s degree before her beneﬁts expire. And so many other surviving spouses face similar dilemmas. This year, we’re going to change that, and we’re going to make sure that families who have sacriﬁced so much for our nation get these beneﬁts. Last week, my colleagues on the Veterans’ Affairs Committee and I introduced the Veterans First Act — a comprehensive, bipartisan bill to grant veterans and their families expanded beneﬁts and ensure that the VA has the resources to provide veterans with the highest quality of care. No veteran should face living on the street, exploitation by for-proﬁt colleges, or inadequate health care — and we’re addressing all of these issues with this bill. In addition to expanding the Fry Scholarship, it will also expand eligibility for the VA’s Yellow Ribbon program, which helps students avoid out-ofpocket tuition and fees, to include all spouses and children of servicemembers who gave their lives ﬁghting for our country. The bill also incorporates legislation I helped introduce to restore the GI beneﬁts of veterans who lost credit or training time because their school permanently closed. We’ve heard too many stories of shady for-proﬁt colleges closing abruptly, leaving students — including many veterans — in limbo. This will ensure that these veterans don’t lose their GI beneﬁts. We also know that, shamefully, too many veterans don’t have a roof over their heads or a place to call home. The legislation incorporates elements of the Veteran Housing Stability Act, which would increase veterans’ access to permanent housing options. This is an issue we’ve been working on for years. Last year, I visited organizations across Ohio that are doing wonderful work to give veterans the support they need to get back on their feet and ﬁnd permanent homes. Even one veteran on the street means Congress isn’t doing enough to tackle this problem. The legislation also helps ensure whistleblowers at the VA can disclose concerns relating to veteran’s care without fearing retaliation. And it expands a critical program to support veteran caregivers. As a country, we’ve made a promise to care for veterans in return for their service to this country. That means supporting family members who often serve as caregiviers. Right now, 9/11 veterans and their families already take advantage of this critical support. This bill will make that same support available to families and veterans of all generations. I’m optimistic that we will soon pass this important legislation to protect our nation’s heroes, and honor them with the beneﬁts they’ve earned and deserve. Contact Sen.

And Trump has no ground game. No policy shop. No opposition research arm. The RNC can help. But all that takes money, a lot of money.

Today is Wednesday, May 18, the 139th day of 2016. There are 227 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On May 18, 1926, evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson vanished while visiting a beach in Venice, California. (McPherson reappeared more than a month later, saying she’d escaped after being kidnapped and held for ransom, an account that was received with skepticism.) On this date: In 1642, the Canadian city of Montreal was founded by French colonists. In 1765, about onefourth of Montreal was destroyed by a ﬁre. In 1896, the Supreme Court, in Plessy v. Ferguson, endorsed “separate but equal” racial segrega- tion, a concept renounced 58 years later in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka. In 1910, Halley’s Comet passed by earth, brushing it with its tail. In 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed a measure creating the Tennessee Valley Authority. In 1934, Congress approved, and President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed, the so-called “Lindbergh Act,” providing for the death penalty in cases of interstate kidnapping. In 1944, during World War II, Allied forces ﬁnally occupied Monte Cassino in Italy after a four-month struggle with Axis troops. In 1953, Jacqueline Cochran became the ﬁrst woman to break the sound barrier as she piloted a Canadair F-86 Sabre jet over Rogers Dry Lake, California. In 1969, astronauts Eugene A. Cernan, Thomas P.

Amy Scarpelli, who last year pleaded guilty to embezzling over a four-year span, was sentenced in U.S. District Court in Dayton. The judge also ordered Scarpelli, the former manager of a U.S. Bank branch in Miamisburg, to pay restitution of $5.2 million.

Johnson added that volunteering goes far beyond only serving a particular group of people. “I think if we started reaching out to one another as Americans, you’d see a different conversation on Main Street,” he said. “It starts with an individual.

A message seeking comment from prosecutors was left Tuesday at the U.S. attorney’s ofﬁce. Scarpelli embezzled the money using a Miamisburg company’s line of credit account even after the company closed the account, according to court records. She would issue cashier’s checks of less than $50,000 drawn on loans, lines of credit and other transactions and convert that to cash that she would pocket, court records said. Authorities said Scarpelli used the money to gamble, maintain several bank accounts and buy items including four cars, six motorcycles, three boats and real estate. sibility for her actions, defense attorney Dennis Gump said Tuesday. The defense maintained she had a gambling addiction and sought a sentence of no more than four years. Prosecutors had asked for nearly six years. Gump said they were disappointed in the sentence. “We thought it should be lower because we mentioned other cases that were similar that involved more money that got less time,” Gump said. The judge relied more on an evaluation that put too much emphasis on the assets Scarpelli acquired and less on her gambling addiction, Gump said.

Unfortunately for the Lady White Falcons, they couldn’t complete a comeback. Trailing 6-2 in the top of the sixth inning, Wahama was unable to cross the tying run in its ﬁnal two at-bats, and thus lost 6-5 in the Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division ﬁnale at Glouster Memorial Park. The White Falcons’ focus this week is on their West Virginia Class A, Region 4 championship game on Thursday at Williamstown, but Wahama — like all TVC-Hocking schools — must play all of its league contests. Eastern already won the outright TVC-Hocking title, with Trimble tying Belpre for secondplace in the division at 12-4. The Tomcats raised their overall record to 15-6, while Wahama ended its TVC-Hocking tally at 10-6 — part of now 18-9. The White Falcons drew ﬁrst blood by leading 2-0 after their initial at-bat, but Trimble took the lead with one run in the ﬁrst inning and ﬁve more in the second. Wahama scored three times in the sixth for the 6-5 deﬁcit, but Trimble pitcher Nikki Kish kept the White Falcons off the board the rest of the way.

Memorial Stadium in Chillicothe, Ohio. Eastern earns 9th appearance in D-4 regional tournament By Bryan Walters bwalters@civitasmedia.com CHILLICOTHE — How sweet it is. The Eastern baseball team secured the program’s ﬁrst Sweet 16 appearance in ﬁve years Monday night following a 7-4 victory over seventhseeded Belpre in a Division IV district championship contest at V.A. Memorial Stadium in Ross County. The fourth-seeded Eagles (17-9) trailed 1-0 after a half-inning of play, but the hosts countered with ﬁve consecutive scores in four of the next frames while securing a comfortable 5-1 advantage through ﬁve complete. The Golden Eagles (9-17) made one ﬁnal push to get back in the game after plating a trio of two-out runs during the top of the sixth — which did cut the lead down to 5-4. EHS, however, answered the bell by scoring half of its four earned runs in the home half of the sixth, which extended the cushion out to 7-4 headed into the ﬁnale. BHS mustered a one-out hit from Cole Knotts in the top of the seventh, but he was ultimately stranded at second base as reliever Cameron Richmond struck out a batter and induced a pop up to rightﬁelder Owen Arix to wrap up the three-run outcome. With the win, the Eagles captured the program’s ninth district championship in school history — including the ﬁrst since the 2011 campaign. Eastern also completed a three-game sweep of the Golden Eagles after earning 10-0 and 13-3 wins in the regular season. Monday night’s victory also marked the sixth district championship for head coach Brian Bowen in his 16 years at the helm. His other four regional appearances came in 2002, 2005, 2007 and 2008. Afterwards Bowen was happy to see his program back in the regional tournament. More importantly, the venerable mentor was pleased with how his kids once again put together seven strong innings of baseball to earn something they desperately wanted. “It’s exciting for us as a program and I’m glad that the kids will get to have this experience. It’s a memory that these guys will have with them for the rest of their lives,” Bowen said. “To win the way we did today was great. We were really good defensively, got some solid innings out of Austin on the mound and we took advan- Eastern sophomore Austin Coleman (12) releases a pitch during the first inning of Monday night’s Division IV district championship game against Belpre at V.A. Memorial Stadium in Chillicothe, Ohio. tage of some situations while we were at the plate. It was another complete effort from everyone on the team, and that is what makes this one so special.” Eastern advances to the Springﬁeld regional tournament on Thursday, May 26, at Carlton Davidson Stadium, where the Eagles will face the winner of the D-4 Centerville district tournament at 2 p.m. The Green and Gold ﬁnished the regular season in fourth place with an 11-5 mark in the Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division standings. But, as Bowen noted, having all four Division IV district ﬁnal representatives and Wahama already sitting in the West Virginia regional tournament makes a strong case for being tournament tested. “Hat’s off to Belpre on getting to this point, and really hat’s off to the TVC Hocking for having four teams in this district ﬁnal,” Bowen said. “It’s a great small-school conference that really prepares you for the postseason, and the depth of the league makes it really hard to judge how good your team is during the course of the regular season. It’s a battle day-in and dayout, but that grind also helped us get where we are today.” The Golden Eagles struck ﬁrst as Jacob Davis singled with one out in the top of the ﬁrst, then Kole Counts tripled to left-center as Davis came around to score for the early 1-0 advantage. Tavian Miller followed with a ﬂyout to right-ﬁelder Owen Arix, who relayed a strike to ﬁrst baseman Dillon Swatzel. Swatzel then gunned the ball home to catcher Cam Richmond, who applied a successful double play tag to Counts — who tried to score from third on the ﬂyout. Belpre managed only one hit and three baserunners over its next four scoreless innings at the plate, and that was when Eastern started taking control. Austin Coleman started the home half of the ﬁrst by reaching on an inﬁeld error, then stole second and advanced to third on a ﬂyout by John Little — giving EHS a runner on third with one out. Richmond was hit by a pitch in the next at-bat to put runners on the corners, then the hosts executed a double steal to perfection as Richmond advanced to second as Coleman beat the relay throw back to the plate for a one-all contest. Jessie Morris advanced Richmond to third on a ground out, then the Eagles caught another break as a Josh Brewer hit a weak dribbler to BHS starter Jesse Collins. Instead of getting the ﬁnal out of the inning at ﬁrst base, Collins threw home to prevent Richmond from scoring — only the ball sailed over the catcher to the backstop. Richmond ended up scoring the eventual game-winning run standing up, making it a 2-1 contest after one complete. Arix started things in the second with a one-out single and advanced to second on a passed ball. Then with two outs, Little legged out an inﬁeld single as the Belpre catcher sprinted up ﬁrst base line for a play on the ball. With nobody stationed at home plate, Arix stayed in stride rounding third and eventually scored for a 3-1 advantage after two full frames. Coleman started the fourth with a single and later scored on a sacriﬁce ﬂy to center by Richmond for a 4-1 edge, then Arix singled home Brewer with two outs in the ﬁfth for a 5-1 cushion. The Golden Eagles found some new life in the top of the sixth as EHS starter Austin Coleman started wearing down after getting consecutive outs to start the frame. Tavian Miller was hit by a pitch, then Bailey Sprague and Collins received back-toback walks to load the bases with two away. Isaac Tullius cleared the bases with a triple to right ﬁeld, allowing the Orange and Black to close to within a run at 5-4. Eastern, however, responded with four hits and two scores in the home half of the sixth — which ultimately ended up icing the outcome. Coleman walked to the start the frame, then stole second and advanced to third on an inﬁeld hit by Little — who eventually advanced to second on the play because no BHS defender was at the bag. Richmond followed with an RBI single to center that plated Coleman for a 6-4 advantage. Little later scored on a wild pitch to wrap up the three-run triumph. See EAGLES | 10 �SPORTS Daily Sentinel Wednesday, May 18, 2016 7 Tigers end Meigs’ season in district By Paul Boggs pboggs@civitasmedia.com THE PLAINS — This time, the Marauders were on the wrong end of an extra-inning marathon classic. That’s because — despite digging deep and battling back from a 5-0 deﬁcit to forge a 5-5 tie and thus extra innings — the Meigs High School baseball team lost a 9-5, 11-inning affair to the Circleville Tigers on Monday in the Division II district semiﬁnals at Athens High School’s Rannow Field. The Tigers tallied an unearned run in the opening inning, then scored once more in the fourth — before opening up a seemingly improbable 5-0 lead following three more runs in the ﬁfth. But Meigs, which up until the ﬁfth had only a Cody Bartrum inﬁeld hit to lead off the second and not a single ball out of the inﬁeld, mastered a comeback against Circleville starting pitcher Trevor Hemming. The Marauder bats busted out, scoring four runs on four hits and a walk to close within a point (5-4) — followed by another marker in the ﬁfth following a leadoff walk, Bartrum’s third hit of the day, and a well-placed sacriﬁce bunt on safety squeeze for the tying run. However, the Marauders couldn’t cross for that winning run when they needed to the most. Over the course of the ﬁnal seven innings, Meigs left one runner on base in every inning but a 1-2-3 ninth, while the Tigers — despite stranding a massive 17 runners — tagged Marauder ace Chase Whitlatch for four runs in the top of the 11th and ultimately the 9-5 win. “The main thing was that I was proud of our kids. They didn’t quit. To battle back like that from down 5-0, it’s the type of kids we had this year. We’ve been down before, but our kids did a great job of battling back,” said Meigs coach Brent Bissell. “We just couldn’t get that key hit at the right time — either early in the game or late in the game. And Circleville has a good program. It was a good ballgame, but just wasn’t our night today.” With the loss, the Marauders scored Acree and Musser. With two outs, Mattox singled to left to plate Helton for the 5-4 deﬁcit. In the sixth, the Marauders muscled the 5-5 tie off Keaton, as Whitlatch walked and Bartrum singled — with Musser getting the bunt down for the squeeze play to score Whitlatch. But Keaton came back for an inning-ending strikeout to leave Bartrum at second. The Tigers, which outhit the Marauders 14-10, also played perfect defense — and did not commit an error. “Their pitchers had good control and were hitting the spots, and we were hitting the ball right at them,” said Bissell. “All we can ask is kids to put the ball in play. It just happened to be right at them. When we had guys in scoring position, we just had to have Paul Boggs | OVP Sports Meigs senior catcher Kaileb Sheets played in his final high school baseball game on Monday in the Marauders’ Division II that key hit and it just didn’t happen for us.” district semifinal at Athens High School’s Rannow Field.

(AP) — Three-time Super Bowl champion Troy Brown couldn’t help but smile after once again proving doubters wrong. The 5-foot-10 receiver, continually told he was too small for football, is in several Hall of Fames after a stellar career that included success with the New England Patriots, the Marshall Thundering Herd and his own Blackville-Hilda High School. Now he can add his home state to that list; Brown is part of a class of eight enshrined in the South Carolina Athletic Hall of Fame. “At the end of the day, you’ve got to sit down and see if the guy can play,” Brown said. “I was always determined to prove people wrong.” Brown, from Barnwell, South Carolina, did that at every level of the game. He helped Blackville-Hilda win a state title in 1988, Marshall a Division I-AA championship and the Patriots to the start of their current NFL dynasty with Super Bowl victories in 2001, 2003 and 2004. He left the Patriots as their all-time receptions leader with 557 catches over 15 seasons. “I was always trying to do something to improve,” Brown said, citing working in ﬁelds with friends in South Carolina pulling in crops or getting in extra runs to increase his stamina. After his time at Blackville-Hilda High, Brown had hoped to get a look from the state’s biggest colleges, Clemson and South Carolina. Again, his talent was minimized because of his height and lack of breakaway speed. “It was just a constant determination to always be better,” he said. “You have that chip on your shoulder to prove people wrong.” At lower-level Marshall, Brown set the record for career kickoff return average (29.69) that still tops the NCAA. His play eventually earned him a spot in the College Football Hall of Fame. Brown was mostly used as a punt returner and backup receiver with New England until coach Bill Belichick arrived in 2000. Brown said Belichick saw a hard worker who held onto passes even if he didn’t possess the blazing speed of other top receivers his height. “He saw I could play,” Brown said. In the pros, Brown met a kindred spirit in Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, an overlooked sixth-round draft pick in 1999 who became the dynasty’s triggerman. “He had the same type of mentality as I did so we worked well together,” Brown said. That was apparent as Brown became Brady’s go-to receiver. Brown caught 83 passes in 2000, 101 in 2001 and 97 in 2002. Brown acknowledged that Brady had a sharp side for those who weren’t all about getting better and winning titles. “At the end of the day, we could both be ticked off at each other, but still love each other because we still had the same goal,” Brown said. �CLASSIFIEDS 8 Wednesday, May 18, 2016 Daily Sentinel Miscellaneous Notices Yard Sale Cemetery Plots Apartments/Townhouses Tree Service Help Wanted General NOTICE OHIO VALLEY PUBLISHING CO.

DR_16461_3x3.5 �SPORTS 10 Wednesday, May 18, 2016 Daily Sentinel IOC: 31 caught in Olympic retests Larson races LONDON (AP) — In a major doping crackdown stretching back eight years, 31 athletes in six sports could be barred from competing in the Olympics after they were caught in retesting of drug samples from the 2008 Beijing Games, and other positive cases could emerge from the 2012 London Games. The International Olympic Committee opened disciplinary proceedings Tuesday against the 31 unidentiﬁed athletes from 12 countries who competed in Beijing and were planning to take part in the Rio de Janeiro Games in August. “This is a powerful strike against the cheats,” IOC President Thomas Bach said. “They show once again that dopers have no place to hide.” The IOC said it also planned to reanalyze drug tests from the 2014 Sochi Winter Games after allegations samples were tampered with as part of a state-sponsored Russian doping program. The positive cases from Beijing emerged from the recent retesting of 454 doping samples with “the very latest scientiﬁc analysis methods,” the IOC said. The Olympic body stores samples for 10 years to allow for retesting with improved tech- niques, with athletes caught facing retroactive disqualiﬁcation and loss of any medals. The IOC said it could not immediately identify the athletes caught in the Beijing retests for legal reasons, saying it would inform the relevant national Olympic committees in the coming days. “All those athletes infringing anti-doping rules will be banned from competing at the Olympic Games” in Rio, the IOC said after a teleconference meeting of its policy-making executive board. Results of retesting of 250 samples from the London Olympics will be announced shortly, the IOC said. Those tests were also aimed at athletes planning to compete in Rio. The IOC said it would also undertake a “wider retesting program” of medalists from both the Beijing and London Games. Samples of athletes who could be promoted to medals following disqualiﬁcation of drug cheats will also be retested. The IOC also asked the World Anti-Doping Agency to launch a “fully-ﬂedged investigation” into allegations that the drug-testing system in Sochi was subverted by Russian ofﬁcials. The IOC said it would ask the Lausanne anti-doping lab and WADA to proceed with analyzing Sochi samples “in the most sophisticated and efﬁcient way possible.” It’s unclear, however, how many samples are still intact for reliable retesting. Grigory Rodchenkov, the former head of the Russian anti-doping laboratory, told the New York Times last week that he gave Russian athletes a cocktail of drugs before the Olympics and switched tainted urine samples for clean ones during the games. He has offered to assist in retesting. WADA said Tuesday it has written to Rodchenkov and offered to meet him “immediately” in Los Angeles. No date has been set. WADA said it has also asked Russian whistleblower Vitaly Stepanov for a copy of the recordings of his conversations with Rodchenkov. WADA President Craig Reedie said the agency is “fully committed’ to investigating the Sochi allegations. The inquiry will be led by WADA’s chief investigator, Mathieu Holz, a former French policeman and Interpol agent, and include independent scientists. The statute of limitations for retesting was extended in 2015 from eight to 10 years, meaning the Beijing samples remain valid through 2018. clean at expense of 1st Cup win CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — It might be hard to believe that the ending of a low-level race three years ago had such a profound effect on Kyle Larson that it might have cost him his ﬁrst Sprint Cup victory. Larson was the next big thing when he arrived at Daytona International Speedway in 2013 for his ﬁrst full season at NASCAR’s national level. He entered a silly companion race dubbed the “Battle of the Beach” with every expectation to have some fun in the event. When he found himself trailing C.E. Falk III on the ﬁnal lap, he ﬁrst tried to move him out of his way before ultimately spinning him to steal the win. He was booed and rebuked on Twitter by many of NASCAR’s biggest names. By the end of the week, Larson said, he realized the trophy was not worth the perception of being a dirty driver. “I got a lot of criticism for that and people lost a lot of respect for me for that,” Larson told The Associated Press in an interview a week after that late model race. “I care because people who are huge backers of me and said I’m the greatest driver ever, now one incident and all of a sudden I am the worst race car driver ever. That’s not how I race. I did what I thought I had to do to win the race. Looking back, I made a mistake in how I went about it. I wouldn’t go back and not try to win the race, but I would probably do something a little different.” Fast forward to Sunday when Larson found himself in a furious battle with Matt Kenseth at Dover International Speedway. Kenseth has 37 career Sprint Cup victories, a championship and drives for the best team in NAS- CAR. Larson has no wins, has never qualiﬁed for NASCAR’s championship and drives for a team that only occasionally ﬁnds its drivers out front. So there he was, on more than one occasion in the closing laps, with Kenseth in his reach. No matter how hard he tried to make a pass for the lead stick, Larson came up empty again and again. He had one option left: a bump-and-run, a solid shot to Kenseth’s bumper to move him out of his way. Larson didn’t make the move. A day later, he had no regrets. “I thought I did everything I could to get by him as cleanly as possible,” Larson told AP on Monday. “I would have had to get into him (to get by) and I didn’t want to do that. I hope he respects me for the way I raced him and if that situation comes up again, he’ll race me the same way I raced him.” Larson absolutely thinks he had an opportunity to move Kenseth, but that lesson learned three years ago at Daytona has clearly made an impact. “I’ve done it in the past (moved a driver), and one time was really bad,” Larson said. “It’s deﬁnitely not something I’m proud of and I learned from that. That’s why I race the way that I do now.” Now we all get to see if being a nice guy costs Larson this year. Remember, he is winless in 87 Cup starts, and if making the Chase is the barometer for a successful season, Larson is still on an uphill climb. Kenseth teammate Denny Hamlin said Larson will “absolutely” regret not being more aggressive for the win, and he likened it to when Hamlin was seeking his ﬁrst career victory at Richmond and chasing Dale Earnhardt Jr. Eagles From Page 6 The Eagles outhit Belpre by a 9-5 overall margin and committed only one of the three errors in the contest. The Green and Gold stranded nine runners on base, while the guests left only ﬁve on the bags. Coleman was the winning pitcher of record after allowing four earned runs, four hits and four walks over 5.2 innings of while striking out eight. Richmond also allowed one hit and fanned three in 1.1 innings of relief. Collins suffered the setback for BHS after allowing three runs (one earned), two hits and a walk over 1.2 innings while striking out one. Miller worked 4.1 innings of relief, allowing four earned runs, seven hits and ﬁve walks while fanning four. Brewer led the Eagles with three hits, followed by Little and Arix with two safeties apiece. Coleman and Richmond also added a hit each to the winning cause. Coleman scored a team-high three runs, with Little, Richmond, Brewer and Arix also scoring once apiece. Little, Richmond and Arix also knocked in a RBI each for Eastern. Tullius paced Belpre with two hits and three RBIs, while Davis, Counts and Knotts also had a hit apiece for the guests. Counts also knocked in a run, while Davis, Miller, Sprague and Collins each scored once in the setback. Eastern now has over a week to prepare for the regional tournament. It’s a long layoff, but Bowen is conﬁdent that his troops will be focused on the next task at hand. “We’ve learned a lot of lessons throughout the season about what it takes to be successful, but these guys have pretty much got things ﬁgured out now,” Bowen said. “Now it’s all about putting in the hard work and wanting it. I know the guys are looking forward to playing in regionals next week, so I don’t think it will be too hard to get these guys ready over the course of the next week. Hopefully we still have some of our better baseball left in us.” Waterford defeated Trimble by a 5-2 count in the ﬁrst D-4 district championship game at V.A. Memorial Stadium on Monday night. The Wildcats advance to the Lancaster regional and will face the winner of the Lancaster 1 district tournament at 5 p.m. Thursday, May 26, at Beavers Field. 60657899 Bryan Walters can be reached at 740-446-2342, ext. 2101. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
