O’Hearn says. “Knock on wood.” The two do recall one tense situation. One night, O’Hearn grabbed Toups’ New Era Team USA baseball cap and planned on wearing it during a trip to the store. Toups asked O’Hearn to give the hat back, which O’Hearn declined to do, at first. O’Hearn eventu - ally took the hat off, but instead of handing it back to Toups, he flung it across the room, hitting a wall. “Wow, are you serious?” Toups remembers saying. Toups turned away for a moment but then ran toward O’Hearn. Toups picked his friend up, car- ried him out the front door and locked him out. The two made amends shortly afterwards and moved on from the inci- dent, one of the only com- bative situations they can recall. Their friendship might also contribute to their baseball success, according to O’Hearn. O’Hearn — primarily a first baseman — led the Pioneer League in batting average (.390), on-base per- centage (.470) and on-base plus slugging percentage (1.092) through Friday, and can be found in the top 10 of almost any other hitting category. After a slow start to this season, Toups — a short- stop — is now tied for sec- ond in the league in OBP (.444) to go along with a .299 batting average. While it’s hard to mea- sure the effect friendship has on hitting, O’Hearn said the fact that he and Toups have played together for three-plus years caus- es them to be more com- fortable at the plate and in the field. “You have a guy at shortstop who I’ve been taking throws from forev- er, so I know what the ball does and his tendencies,” O’Hearn said. O’Hearn and Toups each played 62 games for Sam Houston State as freshmen, and their head coach at the time, David Pierce (now Tulane’s head coach), says he was hard on both of them, especially O’Hearn. “I was probably hard- er on Ryan his freshman year than any other play- er,” Pierce says. “I knew we had to have him.” Pierce wanted to build up Toups’ confidence, which waned during his sophomore year. While warming up for a game, Toups fielded a groundball and threw to first. On the throw, his cleat got stuck in the dirt, causing him to tear a tendon in his left knee. Toups said he came back stronger the next year, though. “In a sense, I’m glad it happened because it made me a better ballplayer,” Toups said. Toups and O’Hearn are currently focused on fin- ishing this season strong, which would only increase their chances of moving up to higher levels of the minor leagues. They hope to receive additional for- tune if they’re called up. “We continue to hang out every day,” O’Hearn said. “I hope we move up together.” with Derek since he start- ed running competitively in fourth grade. Roger ran for the College of South- ern Idaho and Idaho State University and his wife also ran collegiately. Derek is following their lead. In fact, Roger’s Black- foot High School record for the mile might be in dan- ger. “Derek’s goal is to break that,” said Roger, who for- merly coached cross-coun- try and track at American Falls High School. “He’s been around running his hole life. He’s a kid that sets goals and really works toward those goals.” Derek competed in the 400, 800 and 1,600 at the middle school level, but has experienced signif- icant success in the 800 for the past two seasons. He won the 800 and 1,600 titles at the YMCA Middle School Regional Champi- onships in May at Moun- tain View High School, and his 800 time of 2:02.74 put him fourth in the nation on athletic.net’s final boys 800 middle school rankings. Derek has bettered that time on numerous occa- sions this summer and could find himself among Idaho’s top high school 800 runners next spring with times hovering near the two-minute mark. By com- parison, incoming Pocatel- lo High School senior Eli- jah Armstrong, who fin- ished his junior season in the top 50 nationally in the 1,500, 1,600 and 3,200 and third in the 5,000 in milesplit.com’s rankings, broke the two-minute bar- rier for the 800 as a sopho- more and won the 4A state title in May in 1:54.42. Roger, who is still wrap- ping his mind around his son’s meet record at Her- shey’s nationals, said it is too soon to tell what is in store for Derek. “I think he might be a better miler, but he really loves the 800,” Roger said. “He’s got good foot speed and he’s got good endur- ance. You look at it and in an 800, every tenth of a sec- ond is about a foot. To put that in perspective, how far he broke the record is just unreal.” Derek said he plans to run cross-country and track in high school, add- ing that he hopes to break his dad’s mile record. While the next chapter in his career awaits, his moti- vation for the sport hasn’t changed. “I like the competition,” Derek said. “I like to go out and compete against peo- ple who are just as good or better than me.” iesberger. Right behind were Rickie Fowler and Phil Mickelson. Still very much in the picture were Jason Day, Henrik Stenson and Louis Oosthuizen. “Tomorrow standing on the first tee is going to feel different than how it felt a month ago at Hoy- lake because you don’t have that … it is going to be a shootout,” said McIl- roy, who was at 13-under 200. “You know the con- ditions are soft. Guys are going to make birdies. And you know that you’re going to have to make birdies as well.” He did his part late in the round, rolling in a 20-foot birdie putt on the 15th hole, hitting 9-iron from 172 yards that landed with a splat next to the hole for an easy birdie on the 16th hole, and getting up-and-down from a bunker on the final hole. “It’s not the biggest lead I’ve ever had,” McIlroy said. “But I’m still in control of this golf tournament.” Today is shaping up as a thriller, typical of the final major of the year. Wiesberger closed with three straight birdies — the three putts were a com- bined 3 feet, 6 inches — for a 65. Playing in only his sixth major champion- ship, the 28-year-old Aus- trian now gets to play in the final group at a major with the No. 1 player in the world. “I’ve not been in a con- tention in a major champi- onship, so I don’t know how it’s going to turn out,” Wies- berger said. “I’m just try- ing to enjoy it as I did today. … From now on, it’s just a bonus, really.” Fowler, a runner-up in the last two majors and the first player since Tiger Woods in 2005 to finish among the top five in all three of them, gets one last crack. He played bogey-free for a 67 and was two shots behind. Fowler will be playing in the penultimate group with Mickelson, the five-time major champion who turned his game around with strong finish. Right when he looked to be fading from conten- tion, Lefty turned it on with a long birdie putt on the 14th hole, two more birdies, and then he narrowly missed an eagle putt on the final hole. He had a 67 and was three shots behind. C2 Post Register Sunday, August 10, 2014 SPORTS POST REGISTER More than 5,000 fans turned out for the first scrimmage of fall camp for the BYU football team Sat- urday morning at LaVell Edwards Stadium. The Cougars began practice with position-spe- cific drills before holding an 11-on-11 scrimmage. Returning quarterback Taysom Hill of Pocatel- lo was sharp during the scrimmage, completing 9 of 15 passes for 98 yards and a TD. “Taysom did a nice job at moving the team and especially at starting fast,” BYU coach Bronco Men- denhall said in a news release. “Our team is very effective when we start fast. Most of his throws were on the money.” Backup Christian Stew- art was 12 of 17 passing for 116 yards and a touch- down. Junior linebacker Jher- remya Leuta-Douyere led the defense with six tack- les while freshman defen- sive back Grant Jones had the only interception of the day. “This was a good start,” Mendenhall said in the release. “We ran about 70 plays and there were no significant injuries. Over- all, I saw quite a bit of con- sistency for the number of guys playing.” BYU got some bad news Saturday when the team announced it would start the season with- out prized junior col- lege transfer wide receiv- er Nick Kurtz, who has a stress fracture in his left foot. He’s expected to be out six to eight weeks. The Cougars kick off the 2014 season with games at Connecticut (Aug. 29) and Texas (Sept. 6) before beginning the home schedule against Virginia on Sept. 11. Idaho Vandals Paul Petrino said he knows there plenty of work to do, but the sec- ond-year head coach was pleased by what he saw during Saturday’s opening scrimmage of fall camp. “There were a lot of things that were encour- aging,” Petrino said after the Vandals scored 15 touchdowns and one field goal during Saturday’s scrimmage. “In the begin- ning, the offense got after them and scored a lot of touchdowns. Then in the middle, the defense came back and really got after the offense. That’s good to see both sides of the offense play well at times. We just have to keep improving.” The big story remains the battle at quarterback. Matt Linehan saw the bulk of the action, completing 20 of 39 passes for 276 yards. Returning starter Chad Chalich completed 8 of 16 passes for 93 yards. “There were times both of them did good things,” he said. “They’re both young. Every day is a teaching day. Every day is a learning day. They’ll keep improving.” Deon Watson was the top target, catching six passes for 86 yards while Jacob Sannon had four catches for 108 yards and two TDs. Linebacker Irving Steel led the defense with 10 tackles while Jordan Grabski had nine The Vandals will hold another scrimmage Satur- day. Idaho kicks off the season at Florida on Aug. 30.

The Idaho Falls clean- up hitter went 2 for 5 for his fifth multi-hit game this month, leading the Chu- kars to a 10-5 win over Mis- soula on Saturday at Mela- leuca Field. Since the beginning of August, the Chukars are 6-2 and are sitting on a sea- son-high four-game win- ning streak. In those six wins, Pehl is hitting .577 (15 of 26) with four dou- bles, 10 runs and nine RBIs. In the losses, he’s 1 for 7. No runs. No ribbys. No shame in opening the month batting .485. “My job in the middle of the lineup is to drive runs in, and I try to come in ready to do that every at bat,” Pehl said. “I’ve just been try- ing to stay with the same rou- tine, keep it simple, get a good pitch to hit and square it up.” Missoula’s Stewart Ijames squared one up in the first inning against Idaho Falls starting pitcher Jake Newberry, blasting a three-run shot over the wall in right-center to give the Osprey an early 3-0 lead. And how did Newberry respond? By striking out four of the next five batters, allow- ing no more runs and extending his team-best innings pitched count to 47 innings. “It was just about get- ting back in the zone, let my defense do some work and try not to do to much,” Newberry said. “I didn’t come back after the homer trying to strike out guys. I just had to settle back in.” Newberry pitched five strong innings to improve to 4-3 on the season, throw- ing 1-2-3 innings against Missoula in the fourth and fifth. While Newberry was throwing up zeroes, the Chukars were throwing up crooked numbers — scor- ing all 10 of their runs in innings two through five. All this despite Idaho Falls manager Omar Ramirez shuffling up the lineup, giving five of his regulars the day off. “I have confidence in anyone (Ramirez) puts out there behind me,” New - berry said. “We have three guys at almost every posi- tion, and we’re happy to be winning. When you’re win- ning, things are good.” Ramirez also got one no-hit inning each from relievers Cruz Guevara and Brandon Thomas, as well as four strikeouts from Matt Strahm. Luis Valenzuela finished a home run short of the cycle, going 3 for 4 with two runs and two RBIs out of the two-hole. Ryan O’Hearn, Samir Duenez and Jecksson Flores each had two hits. Idaho Falls is 6-1 on the current homestand, improving to 27-24 over- all and 7-6 in the Pionee League second half stand- ings. The Chukars wrap up their seven-game home- stand at 4 p.m. today. I.F. Chukars continue hot streak Pehl NFL ROUNDUP ASSOCIATED PRESS DETROIT— Johnny Manziel showed off some of his fancy footwork, and the Cleveland rookie looked sharp with his arm too in his preseason debut, although the Browns lost to the Detroit Lions 13-12 on Saturday night. Detroit’s Kellen Moore, a former standout at Boise State, threw a 21-yard touchdown pass to Corey Fuller with 1:05 remain- ing in the game, and Gior- gio Tavecchio made the long extra point to give the Lions the one-point win. Manziel entered the game as a backup in the middle of the second quarter, and although he couldn’t take his team to the end zone, he did go 7 of 11 for 63 yards, com- pleting one more pass than starting quarterback Brian Hoyer. Manziel also ran for 27 yards on six carries, including a 16-yard scram- ble in the third quarter. Matthew Stafford led the Lions to a field goal on his only drive of the game. Star receiver Calvin John- son didn’t play. Cleveland receiver Nate Burleson, who played in Detroit the last four sea- sons, also sat out this game. Detroit’s Kellen Moore threw a 21-yard touch- down pass to Corey Fuller with 1:05 remaining in the game, and Giorgio Tavec- chio made the long extra point to give the Lions the one-point win. There was a buzz sur- rounding this preseason game because of Man- ziel’s debut, and the for- mer Heisman Trophy win- ner took the field with 7:32 remaining in the first half, drawing a few cheers but also plenty of boos from the Detroit crowd. Amid a fair number of camera flashes at Ford Field, Manziel took the snap and immediate- ly completed a 6-yard pass toward the left sideline to Anthony Armstrong. But the Lions stuffed the Cleveland quarterback on what looked like a read option on third down, end- ing that drive. Billy Cundiff gave Cleveland a 9-6 lead with a 41-yard field goal early in the third quarter. On his next drive, Manziel dropped back on third- and-8, then took off up the middle, finding plenty of open space for a 16-yard run that was the longest by a Cleveland player on the night. Manziel later outran the Lions to the sideline to pick up a first down on fourth- and-1, but the drive ended when Dion Lewis fumbled inside the Detroit 30. Cundiff kicked four field goals for the Browns, and rookie Nate Freese made two for the Lions. Detroit was playing its first pre- season game under new coach Jim Caldwell, and the offense did little to impress with Stafford bare- ly playing. Backup quarter- back Dan Orlovsky went 12 of 23 for 89 yards. Around the NFL GIANTS 20, STEELERS 16: At East Rutherford, N.J., Rashad Jennings had a 73-yard touchdown run in the first quarter and Curtis Painter’s scoring pass with 2:50 left gave the Giants a victory over Pittsburgh. Eli Manning played four series and didn’t complete a pass in two attempts for the Giants. They opened the preseason last week with a 17-13 win over Buffalo in the Hall of Fame. Ben Roethlisberger played only one series for the Steelers (0-1). He was 1 of 2, with a 46-yarder to rookie third- round pick Dri Archer to the Giants 14. TITANS 20, PACKERS 16: At Nashville, Tenn., Jackie Battle scored on a 7-yard touchdown run with 5:02 left, and the Titans rallied to beat Green Bay in Ken Whisenhunt’s coaching debut in Tennessee. Rookie Zach Mettenberger made up for two turnovers in the fourth quarter by completing all three passes for 71 yards to set up Battle’s go-ahead touchdown for Tennessee’s first lead in a preseason opener played mostly in a pouring rain. CARDINALS 32, TEXANS 0: At Glendale, Ariz., Carson Palmer was 5 for 5 for 84 yards and a touchdown in his only series and Arizona spoiled Bill O’Brien’s first game as Houston’s coach. Ryan Fitzpatrick had a rough debut as Houston’s quar- terback. Playing the entire first half, he completed 6 of 14 passes for 55 yards with two interceptions as the Cardinals took a 20-0 lead.
