COMMUNITY SPORTS | UKIAH GUN CLUB ROYALS 4 | A’S 3 Guillen lifts Royals Aiming high to sweep of Oakland OAKLAND (AP) — Jose Guillen drove in the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning and the Kansas City Royals beat the Athletics 4-3 on Wednesday to complete their first three-game sweep in Oakland in 20 years. The Royals last swept the A’s in a series in 1999 in Kansas City, but had not done so in Oakland since June 14-16, 1988. The slumping A’s fell to 2-10 since the All-Star break, the worst record in the majors, and fell under .500 for the first time since April 6. Pinch-hitter Esteban German led off the inning with a walk against A’s closer Huston Street, then took third when Mike Aviles doubled just beyond the glove of diving right fielder Ryan Sweeney. After an out and an intentional walk of Alex Gordon, Guillen’s fly ball to center field scored German. Ramon Ramirez (2-1) pitched 1 1-3 scoreless innings to earn the win, while Joakim Soria pitched a perfect 10th for his 30th save in 32 opportunities. Kansas City starter Brian Bannister gave up eight hits, walked four and pitched in and out of trouble in his five innings.

THE LEARNING CHALLENGER by Robert Barnett

DIRECTIONS: A. Using each "Chaos Grid" number with its letter one time, arrange the numbers with their letters for the "Order Grid" so each vertical column, horizontal row, and two diagonals each ADD to numbers inside thick lined cells. B. Some correct numbers with their letters have been put into the "Order Grid" to get you started. Also, above the "Order Grid" is a "Decoded Message" clue. C. After you have solved the "Order Grid" doing as direction "A" says, put the letters from horizontal rows, from left to right, under "Decoded Message" and make words to form the answer.
