Brandon Hansen / [email protected] Twin Cities’ Austin Emery slides safely home during a 15-year-old Southern Washington Babe Ruth State Tournament game against Camas Friday at Bearcat Stadium in Chehalis. Twin Cities Drops the Hammer on Camas PERFECT: Twin Cities Improves to 4-0 in State Tourney Pool Play With 19-0 Victory By Aaron VanTuyl [email protected] The signs around Bearcat Baseball Stadium on Friday eve- ning may have directed fans toward the 15-year-old Southern Washington Babe Ruth State Tournament. Camas, however, inadver- tently walked into another round of host Twin Cities’ on- field batting practice. The local All-Stars scored a whopping 19 runs in the first two innings and rolled through the next three innings on cruise control in a 19-0 win, improving to 4-0 in tournament pool play. Twin Cities led 8-0 after an eight-hit first inning that saw all but one of its starters score. “It’s easy when we hit the ball the way we hit the ball,” Twin Brandon Hansen / Cities coach Andy Forgione said.

Racing NASCAR Set to Hit the Bricks Again

By Jim Peltz

Los Angeles Times Darron Cummings / The Associated Press The NASCAR Sprint Cup Driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. practices Series returns from a two-week for the Brickyard 400 Sprint Cup break with one of its marquee series auto race at the Indianapo- races, the Brickyard 400, on Sun- lis Motor Speedway in Indianapo- day. lis on Friday. Many Cup drivers say a victory at the famed Indianapolis Mo- tor Speedway ranks second only to winning the series’ crown jewel, the Daytona 500. This is the 20th anniversary of the first time NASCAR stock cars competed at the 2.5-mile home of the Indianapolis 500 for open-wheel race cars, and thus it’s the 21st running of the Brick- yard 400. Jeff Gordon won the inaugu- ral event in 1994, the first of a record four Brickyard 400 victories he would earn. Jimmie Johnson, his teammate at Hendrick Mo- torsports, shares the record with four wins. “It’s hard to believe it’s been 20 years, but I’m looking forward 4 LINES+10GB to celebrating those 20 years, hopefully, with another win,” Gordon told reporters last week. Former Cup champion Brad Keselowski of Team Penske ar- Unlimited Talk & Text rived with a head of steam, having won two of the last three races, at Kentucky and Loudon, N.H. But Keselowski has never per finished in the top five in four month Brickyard 400 starts. However, Keselowski did win at Indy in 2012 driving in NAS- CAR’s second-level Nationwide Series for team owner Roger Pen- ske. Penske also is bringing Juan Pablo Montoya back to the Brickyard 400 this year. Mon- toya, a former Indy 500 winner, had spent the last seven years competing in the Cup series. This year he returned to Indy- Car racing and won the IndyCar event at Pennsylvania’s Pocono Raceway earlier this month.

If he wins Sunday, Montoya would be the first driver to win the Indianapolis 500 and the Brickyard 400. Montoya’s best finish in the Brickyard 400 was a second in 2007, the first year he drove in the race. Penske has a record 15 In- dianapolis 500 victories, but the longtime team owner never has won the Brickyard 400.
