A literal last minute decision to add a ballgame into the Klamath Falls Falcon schedule proved to be a good one for the locals last night, as Cade Fanning singled home the winning run in the bottom of the 7^th inning in a 7-6 win over Walla Walla. 

It was only the second game of the summer for the Falcons, who added the game when it was discovered Walla Walla would be traveling back through Klamath Falls from a tournament in Chico and would be spending the evening here anyway. 

The Falcons open Area IV league play tonight against the Roseburg Doc Stewart’s at Kiger Stadium, with first pitch beginning at 6pm in a doubleheader.  Hear both games on Wynne Broadcasting’s 1240 The Winner, also on 106.5FM and live on www.klamathradio.com

Halfway through June, Mike Leake of the Seattle Mariners is pitching exceptionally well. He knows what comes next.

Trade rumors featuring him will proliferate. Some of them may even be rooted in fact, since multiple contending teams are bound to seek a qualified starter — one who doesn’t require an “opener” for accompaniment — before the Trade Deadline on July 31.

Postseason-hungry teams will note that Leake, now 6-6, pitched his fourth consecutive game in which he lasted at least seven innings on Sunday, as the Mariners surged past Oakland, 6-3.

Having already traded outfielder Jay Bruce to the Phillies and slugger Edwin Encarnacion to the Yankees, it only makes sense for the Mariners, who are in full-blown rebuilding mode, to trade Leake and his inconvenient contract that guarantees him $16 million this year and $15 million in 2020. There’s also a mutual option for $18 million in ’21 that comes with a $5 million buyout.

Oregon Tech will be offering Summer Youth Camps for basketball, volleyball, soccer and softball to the community and surrounding areas. These camps will provide children from the ages 5 through 18 with the opportunity to participate in various activities that will teach them teamwork and Improve their skills from Oregon Tech coaches and players.  For more information log on to www.oit.edu
