    AL STOVER, Staff Reporter|Updated Jun 26, 2014

Clint Dempsey then came in to give the U.S. a 2-1 lead at the 81st. The United States had that round of 16 spot within their grasp.

The crowd at Zentropa Pizzeria and Pub let out a chorus of moans and gasps, followed by a brief moment of silence and an i...

Tied 3-3 going into the top of the seventh inning, Medical Lake (7-2) surrendered five runs in that frame and lost for a second straight week in disappointing fashion to Colville, 8-3, in a Federal League contest last Friday at Holliday Field. "The...

  • New coach, new look for Spokane Blue Devils

    PAUL DELANEY, Staff Reporter|Updated Jun 26, 2014

    The bright red jerseys are not the only thing different about the Spokane Blue Devils AAA American Legion baseball team in 2014. Outside of the look, the Blue Devils are being led by a new head coach, Steve Hare. This change came in the offseason after longtime coach Tony Byrne had to give up the job due to new demands in his regular career. Other than that it's pretty much business as usual for one of six teams in the Spokane Senior Legion league, including the team always ha...
