A look at some of the key races: State Sen. Joe Schiavoni, of Boardman, has campaigned as a can-do state lawmaker willing to work across party lines. Former Ohio Supreme Court Justice Bill O’Neill says his ideas, like legalizing marijuana to fund reopening state mental facilities, will lead him to victory. Governor Ohioans are witnessing one of the strangest, most raucous and most unpredictable governor’s races in recent memory. On the Republican side, Attorney General Mike DeWine and Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor have reported nearly $10 million in combined spending since December in their bitter war of words. DeWine, a former U.S. senator and lieutenant governor, has refused to debate. That’s left Taylor, a former legislator and state auditor, to fling barbs on social media and television. She calls “DC DeWine” as liberal as Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. DeWine calls Taylor a “phony conservative” who’s unqualified for the job. On the Democratic side, former U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich has capitalized on his strong gun-control positions to bring himself neck-and-neck with former consumer watchdog Richard Cordray, who supports gun rights. Kucinich’s campaign has been sidetracked, however, over his relationship to Syrian President Bashar Assad. He returned $20,000 in speaking fees from a group sympathetic to Assad, whose chemical weapons stores were recently attacked by the U.S. and its allies. Kucinich says the speech was about finding a solution to the conflict in Syria. Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren has campaigned for Cordray; Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has campaigned for Kucinich. US Senate U.S. Rep. Jim Renacci scored President Donald Trump’s coveted endorsement this week as he seeks the Republican nomination for U.S. Senate. Renacci faces Cleveland businessman Mike Gibbons and three others in the GOP primary, with the winner taking on incumbent Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown this fall. Trump, who handily won Ohio in 2016, tweeted his support for Renacci on Tuesday. He commended Renacci’s work on tax cuts, immigration, the border and crime, saying, “I need Jim very badly to help our agenda.” Gibbons, endorsed by Citizens for Trump, has positioned himself against Renacci as a “conservative outsider” who will shake up Washington. Also seeking the GOP nod are Marysville small business owner Melissa Ackison, Cincinnati-area financial management company founder Daniel Kiley and Don Elijah Eckhart, a retired public administrator from Galloway, near Columbus.

Portman discusses human trafficking GALLIPOLIS — U.S. Senator from Ohio Rob Portman (R-Cincinnati) joined with southeastern Ohio organizations and residents Tuesday morning to discuss the nature of human trafficking, its status and what could be done to combat it while meeting at Bossard Memorial Library. Groups present represented law enforcement, human trafficking fighters, civic organizations, legal counsel, mental health and more. “It’s great to be in Gallipolis,” said Portman. “For several years now, when I first got elected… we’ve been looking at this (human) trafficking issue. Reports came from northwest Ohio the Toledo area of increase in trafficking. Law enforcement were Dean Wright | OVP U.S. Senator Rob Portman (R-Cincinnati) discusses concerns with southeastern Ohio residents with regard to human trafficking. coming to us and saying ‘Hey, we’ve got to do something about this’ and a lot of this because of (I-75) coming down there from Detroit and (I-70) going across.

Bob Snavely, a Palmer Energy representative based out of Toledo, explained the ins and outs of electrical aggregation and answered questions for residents. Snavely said Palmer Energy is partnered with the Ohio Municipal League and the County Commissioners Associations of Ohio. Snavely explained government aggregations’ benefits come from the grouping together of the community wherein the more individuals that participate in the program, the better the discount they receive. He said that around $100 can be saved in a household yearly. Fiscal Officer Sue Baker said, “The whole point is to make a big group, so you have more purchasing power. It’s the same way with anything you buy wholesale because you’re purchasing a large quantity, you get a better price.” Snavely said electric bills are split up into two sides, regulated and utility, Palmer Energy will be aiding in lowering the cost of the utility side of the bill. He explained the program is an opt out, all residents will automatically be enrolled unless they are currently enrolled in another deal concerning their utility. Palmer Energy will work with a Request for Proposal (RFP) to find the best supplier explained Snavely. He said letters will be sent out to the residents of the village from the chosen supplier offering them an opt out of the program that must be done within 30 days. Snavely explained a rescission letter will be sent out to residents before each three year re-up of the program. Snavely said an individual can choose to leave Palmer Energy at anytime even if the deadline for the opt out letters pass. He added no fee will be charged to the individual should they choose to opt out. Residents approached Snavely with their concerns. He assured them Palmer Energy’s goal is to save them money on their electric bill and they are allowed to leave the program if they are not satisfied at anytime with no fee. The reason Palmer Energy has an opt out program rather than an opt in program is so individuals can receive even more savings explained Snavely. Baker said, “When you vote yes for aggregation all you are doing is allowing your community to pull its people, its customers, to try and get a better price for those who want to be in the program.” Mayor Sandy Iannarelli explained letters have been sent out to the residents of Middleport via the water department regarding electrical aggregation. Iannarelli said residents are encouraged to call the village offices if they have any questions or concerns on the issue. Erin Perkins is a staff writer for Ohio Valley Publishing.

About the perpetual outrage machine of which I admittedly am a part. About a comedian making jokes at the White Rex House Correspondents Dinner and Huppke Contributing her targets — both members of the Trump administration and Washcolumnist ington reporters and pundits themselves — not being able to handle jokes. About those who mock safe spaces needing a safe space. About those who would cringe if vicious comedic barbs were directed at a Democratic administration — don’t tell me you wouldn’t, you most certainly would — mocking everyone for overreacting. About those who work for a name-calling, crude, foul-mouthed president pretending such things are inappropriate from someone else. I was going to write about the North Korea conundrum, in which a president who many, myself included, consider incompetent might possibly have blustered his way into a foreign policy success. It’s not that simple, of course, nor is it certain that peace will be kept. But for the moment, credit where credit’s due, right? We’d sing the praises of a less loathsome leader if she or he accomplished the same. I was going to write about all that, about how lost America seems right now with endless whatabout-ism and hypocrisy. And then I read about about a dog named Finn and decided I’d write about him instead. Frivolous? Perhaps. A cop-out? Maybe. But there’s something about Finn’s story that might do us more good than all that other stuff. A story in the Post-Tribune of Northwest Indiana over the weekend introduced us to Finn, a 6-month-old dog who was riding with his owner, Lucas Cardona, in a semitrailer heading west on the Indiana Toll Road on April 20. Cardona lost control of the rig on a curve and it flipped over. Finn was in the sleeper cab, terrified. When rescue workers knocked out the windshield to free Cardona, Finn ran off before his master could grab him. “Once he saw daylight, he took off and before I grabbed his collar, he was gone,” Cardona told the newspaper. The driver was bruised but OK, more worried about his dog than himself. According to the Post-Tribune story, Cardona is “a veteran of the Marine Corps and Army National Guard who was injured in Kuwait.” He moved to Michigan recently and he and Finn — a curious mix of Dalmatian, Labrador and St. Bernard — have been inseparable since he got the dog on Christmas Eve. One of the paramedics who responded to the crash happened to be a dog lover. When she’s not saving lives, Mary Esserman works part-time at an animal hospital near Chester, Ind. She decided that Finn would not stay lost. Over the next four days, Esserman led a search that at various times involved the Indiana State Police, Porter County Animal Control, the Porter County Sheriff’s Department and even a drone belonging to the Porter Fire Department. Late Tuesday night, Esserman found Finn. Cardona had gone back to Michigan, but she called him on her cellphone so Finn could hear his master’s voice. The pair were reunited Saturday in Indiana. “The community was outstanding,” Cardona told the Post-Tribune. “I owe the community everything, and the tip of the spear was (Esserman).” There are things in this story on which we can all agree: Esserman, and those who helped search for the missing dog, did a truly good thing; Cardona’s love for Finn is heartwarming; and Finn, I’m quite sure, is a very good boy. We can agree on those things without knowing anything about the people involved. I know nothing about Cardona’s politics. I don’t know See RESCUE | 5 THEIR VIEW Grandpa, me and the hardware store A hardware store trip with grandpa always started with a need for a gallon of paint or a certain sized screw and ended with a scoop or two of ice cream. I’d tag along knowing he would reward me with a cold treat if I was good. Good, meaning I didn’t knock over the glass jars that lined the shelves and I kept my lips zipped until old man Cross acknowledged me with a “Well, who do we have here?” like he’d never seen me before. If his wife was running the counter, she’d offer me a homemade hard tack candy from the bowl by the metal cash register that looked like a safe deposit box with numbers on large levers. I’d stroll the dimly light aisles scanning the cobwebbed shelves, the musty smell of damp wood emanating from the floor where the ceiling was dripping onto it.

The senator listed issues with the internet and websites like Backpage which were being used to organize sex trafficking and then hiding evidence of crimes to profit. The roundtable discussion, hosted by the Child Protection Center of Ross County held in Gallipolis, came after the passage of legislation called Stop Enabling Sex Traffickers Act (SESTA) to address such issues. Portman would eventually ask members about the room their issues with the state of trafficking in Ohio. Much of the conversation drifted to concerns with drugs, parents not taking an active role in the lives of their children, trauma sustained in a crisis, identifying victims and a lack of resources to address issues.

TODAY 8 AM 2 PM Dean Wright | OVP U.S. Senator Rob Portman (R-Cincinnati) discusses concerns with southeastern Ohio residents with regard to human trafficking. Mental Health Services Board Robin Harris shared concerns that many of the ongoing problems with southeast Ohio shared symptoms, including drug abuse, suicide, domestic abuse and more when compounded with Ohio’s sex trafficking. Sgt. Jake Schuldt of the Ohio State Highway Patrol Meigs and Gallia Post said it was sometimes difficult in proving a victim might be trafficked despite law enforcement suspicion, unless there were other extenuating circumstances such as drugs present or victims identified as needing help. Juveniles may be pulled over with an adult but attempting to contact parents may not work as they may not answer a phone or the person answering the other side of a phone may not even be a parent. If juveniles haven’t committed a crime, Schuldt said there was potential difficulty in holding onto them after a traffic stop. He said some parents simply refused to come and pick up a child, if taken off the road. Members of the Gallia Sheriff’s Office and Gallia Prosecutor’s Office cited concerns with funding and difficulties in applying for grant money in rural areas. Harris and Gallia Sheriff Matt Champlin said community members had taken steps in an attempt to rectify mental health concerns among other issues with drugs, human trafficking and more. Crisis intervention training and “creative” funding and partnerships were being utilized to create centers to address trauma in home life and beyond. “Wearing many hats” has often been a saying recognized in southeastern Ohio and officials battling both trafficking and the drug epidemic utilize it. Harris thanked Portman for his efforts in passing legislation which pushed funding towards concerns she cited. process to the ballot.

POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — Anchor’s away … finally. The Point Pleasant track and field program secured its first-ever championship in the annual Battle for the Anchor meet on Monday evening with a 143-141 triumph over Gallia Academy at Ohio Valley Bank Track and Field in Mason County. PPHS claimed titles in 23 of the 36 total events held within the boys and girls competitions, but the Red and Black didn’t officially lock things up until the 4x400-meter relay — the very last event of the evening. The Black Knights won 13 of the 18 events — including all five relays — en route to an 85-57 win over the Blue Devils in the boys competition. Despite winning only eight of the 18 girls events, the Blue Angels still claimed a decisive 84-58 victory over the Lady Knights. The Point boys won the 4x100m (46.36), 4x200m (1:38.75) and 4x400m (3:47.57) relays, as well as the 4x800m (9:44.01) and 4x110m shuttle hurdles (1:05.28). Luke Wilson paced the Black Knights with three individual titles in the 800m (2:08.62), 1600m (4:54.00) and 3200m (10:34.32) events. Kaydean Eta won the 110m hurdles (17.07) and Brady Adkins claimed the 300m hurdles title (44.15). Steven Trent posted a winning height of 12 feet, 1 inch in the pole vault, while Eddie Mayes secured the shot put title with a throw of 43 feet, 4 inches. Jesse Gleason also won the discus final for PPHS with a heave of 135 feet, 6 inches. John Stout led the Blue Devils with a trio of victories in the 100m dash (11.66), 200m dash (23.74) and 400m dash (53.40). Logan Blouir claimed the high jump (5-8) crown and Ryan Donosky also won the long jump with a leap of 18 feet, 11 inches.

The Southern softball team and Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division foe Waterford required 10 innings to determine a winner on Monday night, and the host Wildcats ultimately proved victorious by a count of 7-6 in Washington County. The Lady Tornadoes held a 4-2 advantage through three innings, as they utilized three hits a walk and an error by the hosts to rally from an early two-run deficit. SHS extended its lead in the top of fifth, as Kaitlyn DeLaCruz hit a solo home run to widen the margin to 5-2. The Lady Wildcats however knotted the game at 5-all in the bottom of the fifth, as they sent seven hitters to the plate and manufactured three runs on three hits, a wild pitch and two SHS errors. Southern countered in the sixth, as Jaiden Roberts reached on a one-out singled and scored on a two-out double by Abby Cummins to take a 6-5 lead. Waterford tied the contest at 6-all in the bottom of the sixth, as Marissa Neader reached on a one-out single, advanced to third on a wild pitch and later scored on a ground ball off of the bat of Denise Young. Both clubs failed to score in the seventh, as each team left a runner in scoring position to force extra-innings. Southern threatened to break the tie in each of the final three innings, as they left a total of six runners on base over that span. Waterford broke the tie in the bottom of the 10th inning, as Leach led off with with a hit by pitch and later scored on a one-out walk-off single to close out the one-run win. Cummins suffered the complete game loss for the Lady Tornadoes, as she worked 9 innings in the pitch circle and surrendered seven runs on 11 hits, with five walks and five strikeouts. Cummins also had two hits at the plate. DeLaCruz led the way for the Purple and Gold on offense with three hits, two RBI and one run scored. Roberts and Lauren Lavender each finished with two safeties, respectively. Roberts also scored twice, while Lavender was driven home once in See SOUTHERN | 7 OVP SPORTS SCHEDULE Wednesday, May 2 Baseball Ironton St. Joseph at River Valley, 5 p.m. Southern at Belpre, 5 p.m. Gallia Academy at Vinton County, 5 p.m. Wahama at Parkersburg Catholic, 5 p.m. Eastern at Logan, 5 p.m. Point Pleasant at Nitro, 7 p.m. Softball Southern at Belpre, 5 p.m. Gallia Academy at Vinton County, 5 p.m. Eastern at Logan, 5 p.m. SHS-Point winner at Nitro, 6 p.m. Wirt Co-Ravenswood winner at Wahama, 5 p.m. Track and Field TVC Ohio Championships at Athens, 4:30 Thursday, May 3 Baseball Meigs at Athens, 5 p.m. Federal Hocking at Eastern, 5 p.m. Point Pleasant at Roane County, 5 p.m. Softball Meigs at Gallia Academy, 5 p.m. Federal Hocking at Eastern, 5 p.m. Track and Field TVC Hocking Championships at Vinton County, 4 p.m. Mike Stone | AP Images for Courtyard by Marriott Dak Prescott, quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys, speaks with fans during the event hosted by Courtyard, Official Hotel of the NFL, at the NFL Draft Experience on Thursday in Dallas. Cowboys want Super Bowl do-over ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The Dallas Cowboys want a do-over on hosting the Super Bowl after horrid weather and a seating fiasco ruined their first try seven years ago. While the wait will easily be more than a decade and with no indication the big game is coming back soon, last weekend’s draft at least showed the NFL that what is becoming its spring Super Bowl went off without a hitch in North Texas. “Obviously we’ve got a little chip on our shoulder about that one because we had a snowstorm and it didn’t go perfect,” executive vice president Stephen Jones said last week, referring to the 2011 title game. “There’s a big school of thought in the league that these things should go to kind of vacationaltype spots, South Florida and Southern California and Phoenix and New Orleans. I get that. We’d still like a redo there.” The Cowboys hosted the first draft in an NFL stadium, and the league said about 100,000 people showed up in and around AT&T Stadium in Arlington, halfway between Dallas and Fort Worth, for the first round Thursday night. Crowd size was limited by the league to about 20,000 indoors, using just one end of the 80,000-seat stadium with a retractable roof, which was closed. The largest screens of the giant video board that hangs over the center of the field were mostly out of view. The theater setup is still preferred by the NFL for an event that spent many years at Radio City Music Hall in New York before back-toback drafts in Chicago and last year’s popular stop in Philadelphia on the steps of the art museum in front of the Rocky statue. This larger venue allowed officials to try something they’d been thinking about for a while. Groups of seats designated for fans of each team on the field in front of the stage were a hit. The idea derived from political conventions fed what officials thought was an energetic setting. “It exceeded our expectations in terms of the energy down here,” said Peter O’Reilly, who oversees special events for the NFL. “It’s been a terrific event for us as the draft continues to evolve.” As always, the Cowboys were worried about the weather. It was just about perfect, unlike the unprecedented ice storm that paralyzed the Dallas area most of the week before the Super Bowl. Of course, that was in midwinter. On top of that, about 400 fans ended up without a place to sit when roughly 1,250 seats in temporary bleachers were declared unsafe hours before kickoff in Green Bay’s 31-25 victory over Pittsburgh. A lawsuit faulted Jerry Jones for trying to break the Super Bowl attendance record of 103,985 (it fell 766 short), and the outspoken Cowboys owner was forced to testify in federal court. There was no such drama this time, and the draft accomplished what the Cowboys wanted: treating their fans while showcasing Texas as one of football’s cradles. “It’s understated even, as big as it is, how much the fans love the draft and love the drama and uncertainty that goes with it,” Stephen Jones said. “For our fans to be able to touch it and go out there and see what it’s all about and see this firsthand … this is football country.” Stephen Jones doesn’t expect the draft to come back soon because the idea now is to move it annually. O’Reilly isn’t sure it will be in a stadium again because each city has ideas about how to make the draft unique. Super Bowls have been awarded through the 2021 season , including two with new stadiums (Atlanta, Los Angeles) and another with a renovated one (Miami, which will get its record 11th title game). But the Cowboys have this much going for them: The NFL now has a fresher memory that has nothing to do with ice falling off the roof and hitting Super Bowl workers, or fans getting crammed into standingroom areas when they were supposed to have a place to sit. “We’re just thrilled with this week,” O’Reilly said. “This draft certainly reflected really well on this market and its ability to put on major events.” �SPORTS Daily Sentinel Big Blacks blank Buffalo, 10-0 MLB Boston New York Toronto Tampa Bay Baltimore W 21 18 16 13 8 L 7 10 12 14 20 Cleveland Detroit Minnesota Chicago Kansas City W 15 11 9 8 7 L 12 16 15 18 21 Houston Seattle Los Angeles Oakland Texas W 20 16 16 14 11 L 10 11 12 14 19 New York Atlanta Philadelphia Washington Miami W 17 16 16 13 10 L 9 11 12 16 18 Chicago Pittsburgh Milwaukee St. Louis Cincinnati W 16 17 17 15 7 L 10 12 13 12 22 Arizona San Francisco Colorado Los Angeles San Diego W 20 15 15 12 10 L 8 14 15 16 20 AMERICAN LEAGUE East Division Pct GB WCGB .750 — — .643 3 — .571 5 ½ .481 7½ 3 .286 13 8½ Central Division Pct GB WCGB .556 — — .407 4 5 .375 4½ 5½ .308 6½ 7½ .250 8½ 9½ West Division Pct GB WCGB .667 — — .593 2½ — .571 3 ½ .500 5 2½ .367 9 6½ ___ NATIONAL LEAGUE East Division Pct GB WCGB .654 — — .593 1½ — .571 2 ½ .448 5½ 4 .357 8 6½ Central Division Pct GB WCGB .615 — — .586 ½ — .567 1 ½ .556 1½ 1 .241 10½ 10 West Division Pct GB WCGB .714 — — .517 5½ 2 .500 6 2½ .429 8 4½ .333 11 7½ L10 5-5 9-1 4-6 9-1 3-7 Str Home W-2 10-3 L-1 11-5 W-2 9-7 W-1 6-7 W-1 5-10 Away 11-4 7-5 7-5 7-7 3-10 L10 6-4 3-7 1-9 4-6 3-7 Str Home W-1 9-6 L-2 6-8 L-2 6-6 L-2 2-10 L-1 3-12 Away 6-6 5-8 3-9 6-8 4-9 L10 7-3 7-3 3-7 6-4 4-6 Str Home W-3 10-6 W-2 5-5 L-4 5-10 L-2 8-6 L-2 4-12 Away 10-4 11-6 11-2 6-8 7-7 L10 5-5 6-4 5-5 4-6 5-5 Str Home W-1 7-4 W-2 8-4 L-3 11-5 W-2 5-9 W-3 6-10 Away 10-5 8-7 5-7 8-7 4-8 L10 8-2 5-5 6-4 5-5 4-6 Str Home W-5 8-4 L-1 10-5 W-1 8-6 L-3 7-5 L-1 3-10 Away 8-6 7-7 9-7 8-7 4-12 L10 7-3 7-3 4-6 4-6 3-7 Str Home W-1 10-3 W-3 9-6 L-3 5-7 L-3 7-8 L-2 5-12 Away 10-5 6-8 10-8 5-8 5-8 By Bryan Walters bwalters@aimmediamidwest.com POINT PLEASANT, W.Va. — A no-no to add to the mo-mo. The Point Pleasant baseball team notched its third consecutive win and celebrated Senior Night in style Monday as senior Alec Smith tossed a no-hitter during a 10-0 mercy-rule victory over visiting Buffalo in a nonconference matchup in Mason County. The Big Blacks (11-9) honored three seniors — Smith, Ian Fielder and Tucker Mayes — before the game, then the hosts proceeded to waste no time in giving those upperclassmen a proper send-off. Smith handled the Bison on the mound, allowing only three walks over five innings without striking out a single batter. In fact, BHS sent the minimum dozen batters to the plate through four frames, which included a single baserunner in the second that was picked off by an inning-ending double play. The Blue and Gold also drew a leadoff walk in the fifth that eventually turned into a double play one batter later, then the final walk came just before Buffalo’s final out — a 4-3 ground out. In fact, 11 of the guests’ 15 outs were because of ground balls. The Red and Black, on the other hand, gradually kept building a lead for Smith to work with — starting with a twoout Austin Richardson homer to left-center in the bottom half of the first. That solo shot gave the hosts a permanent lead of 1-0. The Big Blacks doubled that edge in the second as a one-out wild pitch allowed Brody Jeffers to score from third for a 2-0 contest.

Bryan Walters | OVP Sports Point Pleasant senior Alec Smith tosses the ball to first base for a force out during the fourth inning of Monday night’s non-conference baseball contest against Buffalo in Point Pleasant, W.Va. Point Pleasant again doubled its lead in the bottom of the third as Joel Beattie delivered a two-out single to right, allowing both Miles Williams and Richardson to come plateward for a 4-0 cushion. The hosts finished things off in the home half of the fifth after plating six runs on two hits, three hits batters, two errors and a walk. Richardson started the frame with a walk and advanced to second when Tucker Mayes was hit by a pitch. Jeffers then walked to load the bases and Richardson scored on a wild pitch for a five-run edge. Beattie followed by getting hit by a pitch to again load the bases, then Hunter Bush was plunked and Mayes came in with another run for a 6-0 advantage. Alec Smith lifted a fly ball to right that allowed Jeffers to score on a sacrifice, then Williams delivered a two-out single to right that plated Wyatt Wilson for an 8-0 lead. Carter Smith followed with a single to left, and an error on the play allowed both Bush and Williams to come home with the game-clinching runs. On a night in which everything clicked, PPHS coach Andrew Blain was pleased that his seniors were able to enjoy one final victory at home. More importantly, the fifth-year mentor was pleased to see even more signs that his troops are peaking at exactly the right time. “It’s not a big group of seniors, but for Alec to throw a no-hitter … it’s a memory that he and those upperclassmen will have for the rest of their lives,” Blain said. “Alec threw strikes and we made some good plays behind him defensively. Good things happen when you keep the ball around the strike zone. “This is a big win for us because we really want to get all of the momentum we can headed into the tournament. We’re playing well right now and we have some big games to close out the regular season, so it’s really important that we keep progressing like we have been.” The Big Blacks produced seven hits and also played an error-free game, while the guests committed two miscues. The hosts stranded four on base, while the Bison left only one on the bags. Smith was the winning pitcher of record after tossing only 59 pitches over five innings. Dillman took the loss after surrendering nine runs (five earned), five hits and one walk over four-plus innings while fanning four. Williams and Richardson led the Big Blacks with two hits apiece, followed by Jeffers, Beattie and Carter Smith with a safety each. Beattie drove in a team-best two RBIs, while Richardson led the hosts with three runs scored. Point Pleasant returns to action Wednesday when it travels to Nitro for a 7 p.m. contest.

IN BRIEF advancing by at least 49ers to keep miss five shots. Arik Armstead Kingham now SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — The San Franin rotation cisco 49ers have exercised the fifth-year option to keep defensive end Arik Armstead under contract through 2019. The team announced the move Monday to pick up the option worth about $9 million. The deal is guaranteed for injury and will become fully guaranteed next March. Armstead was taken 17th overall in 2015. He has six sacks and 56 tackles in 30 career games. Armstead played just six games last year before a season-ending broken hand. Romo misses qualifying PLANO, Texas (AP) — Tony Romo didn’t get out of the opening stage in another failed attempt to play in the U.S. Open. Romo three-putted his opening hole at Gleneagles Country Club, made only two birdies and shot a 5-over 77 on Monday in the 18-hole local qualifier. The top eight finishers from Gleneagles advance to 36-hole sectional qualifying on June 4. Romo, the retired Dallas Cowboys quarterback and NFL analyst for CBS Sports, failed to get through local qualifying for the second straight year. He was tied for 24th among the first half of the field, meaning he would WASHINGTON (AP) — Pirates rookie Nick Kingham’s nearly perfect debut has earned him at least one more start in the majors. Kingham took a perfect game into the seventh inning of his first big league start, retiring the first 20 batters in Pittsburgh’s 5-0 win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday. He left after seven innings, allowing one hit on 98 pitches, in the best debut by a major league starter in more than a half-century. The Pirates weren’t necessarily planning to keep Kingham in the majors after his spot start. Now he’s slated to pitch again on Friday at Milwaukee. Thompson transfers CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) — Virginia says defensive lineman Dylan Thompson has transferred from Ohio State to the Cavaliers. The school announced the move Monday. It says Thompson will graduate from Ohio State this summer and enroll at Virginia. He will be eligible to play immediately. Thompson has played in only two games for the Buckeyes. He made three tackles in 2017 but was limited by injuries.
