House Judiciary Committee promised

‘a top-to-bottom review of the market
power held by giant tech platforms’
BY RACHEL LERMAN
AP Technology Writer
SAN FRANCISCO —
The federal government
may be warming up its anti-
trust enforcement machine
and pointing it at Big Tech.
On Monday, the House
Judiciary Committee an-
nounced a sweeping anti-
trust probe of unspecified
technology companies. In
a statement, it promised “a
top-to-bottom review of the
market power held by gi-
ant tech platforms,” which
would be the first such Con-
gress has ever undertaken.
Earlier in the day, shares
of Facebook, Google, Am-
azon and Apple dropped
significantly after published
reports suggested that fed-
eral authorities are prepar-
ing for investigations into
anticompetitive behavior by
several of these technology
giants.
Facebook’s stock
dropped 7.5 percent. Shares
of Google parent Alphabet
fell 6.1 percent. Amazon
declined 4.6 percent. Apple,
which has only been men-
tioned tangentially in these
reports, fell 1 percent.

developments appear to
represent a divvying up of
turf between the Depart-
ment of Justice’s antitrust
cops and the Federal Trade
Commission, which also
holds antitrust authority.
The Justice Department
would reportedly hold au-
thority over Google and
Apple, while the FTC would
take point on investigations
of Facebook and Amazon.
Over the weekend, mul-
tiple reports said the Justice
Department was preparing
a competition investigation
into Google . On Monday,
the Wall Street Journal
cited unnamed sources to
report that the FTC has se-
cured the rights to bring a
possible investigation into
Facebook .
Investors may have re-
acted immediately to the
uncertainty, but investiga-
tions — if any materialize
— would take years.

is becoming more real, but
antitrust is not a 24-hour

Fighting Germans and Jim Crow:
Role of black troops on D-Day
Roughly 2,000 African American troops are
believed to have hit the shores of Normandy in
various capacities on June 6, 1944
By REBECCA SANTANA
The Associated Press
BATON ROUGE, La. — It was
the most massive amphibious inva-
sion the world has ever seen, with
tens of thousands of Allied troops
spread out across the air and sea
aiming to get a toehold in Nor-
mandy for the final assault on Nazi
Germany. And while portrayals of
D-Day often depict an all-white host
of invaders, in fact it also included
many African Americans.
Roughly 2,000 African American
troops are believed to have hit the
shores of Normandy in various ca-
pacities on June 6, 1944. Serving in
a U.S. military still-segregated by
race, they encountered discrimina-
tion both in the service and when
they came home.
But on Normandy, they faced
the same danger as everyone else.
The only African American com-
bat unit that day was the 320th
Barrage Balloon Battalion, whose
job was to set up explosive-rigged
balloons to deter German planes.
Waverly Woodson Jr. was a corporal
and a medic with the battalion. Al-
though Woodson did not live to see
this week’s 75th anniversary — he
died in 2005 — he told The Asso-
ciated Press in 1994 about how his
landing craft hit a mine on the way
to Omaha Beach.
“The tide brought us in, and
that’s when the 88s hit us,” he said
of the German 88mm guns. “They
were murder. Of our 26 Navy per-
sonnel there was only one left. They
raked the whole top of the ship and
killed all the crew. Then they start-
ed with the mortar shells.”
Woodson was wounded in the
back and groin while on the land-
ing craft but went on to spend 30
hours on the beach tending to oth-
er wounded men before eventual-
ly collapsing, according to a letter
from then-Rep. Chris Van Hollen of
Maryland. Van Hollen, now a U.S.
senator, is heading an effort to have
Woodson posthumously awarded
the Medal of Honor for his actions
on D-Day. But a lack of documenta-
tion — in part because of a 1973 fire
that destroyed millions of military
personnel files — has stymied the
effort.
Another member of the unit,
William Dabney described what
they encountered on D-Day in a
2009 Associated Press interview
during the invasion’s 65th anniver-
sary.
“The firing was furious on the
beach. I was picking up dead bod-
ies and I was looking at the mines
blowing up soldiers. ... I didn’t
know if I was going to make it or
not,” said Dabney, then 84, who
passed away last year.
Linda Hervieux detailed the
exploits of the 320th in her book
“Forgotten: The Untold Story of
D-Day’s Black Heroes, at Home
and at War.” She said the military
resisted efforts to desegregate as
it ramped up for World War II. In-
stead they kept separate units and
separate facilities for black and
white troops.
“This was a very expensive and
inefficient way to run an army. The
Army ... could have ordered its men
to integrate and to treat black sol-
diers as fully equal partners in this
war. The Army declined to do so,”
she said. The Army wanted to fo-
cus on the war and didn’t want to
become a social experiment, Her-
vieux said, but she notes that when
African American soldiers were
called on to fight side by side with
whites, they did so without prob-
lems.
By the end of World War II,
more than a million African Amer-
icans were in uniform including the
famed Tuskegee Airmen and the
761st Tank Battalion. The Double
V campaign launched by the Pitts-
burgh Courier, a prominent African
American newspaper, called for a
victory in the war as well as a vic-
tory at home over segregation, in-
cluding in the military.

Officials: 8 killed in head-on crash on Mississippi highway

MHP received a call just before 3:30 a.m. Monday about the crash on
Mississippi Highway 16 east of Scooba, near the Alabama state line
By JAY REEVES
The Associated Press
SCOOBA — Eight people —
including four brothers — were
killed before dawn Monday in a
head-on collision between a box
truck and a passenger van on a
rural highway.
All the deceased were pas-
sengers in the van, Kemper
County Sheriff James Moore
told The Associated Press.
They did tree work for an agri-
cultural company, Moore said.
Most were from Macon, Missis-
sippi — about a 20-minute drive
from the crash scene, he said.
“We had rescue workers
there who said that out of 25
to 30 years they’ve been doing
this, they haven’t had one this
bad,” Moore said. “The van is
pretty tore up.”
Macon resident Amy Lugo
said one of the victims was her
husband, Francisco Lugo, 48.
His three brothers, two cousins
and an uncle also died in the
crash, she said. The van driver,
who survived, also was a cous-
in.
Amy Lugo said she and her
husband had been together al-
most 20 years. Their son turns
2 in August.
“I don’t know what I’m going
to do without him. I don’t know
how I’m going to make it with-
out him. He was everything,”
she said, struggling to speak
through her tears.
The Mississippi Highway
Patrol received a call just before
3:30 a.m. Monday about the
crash on Mississippi Highway
16 east of Scooba, near the Ala-
bama state line, Sgt. Andy West
said.
In an interview on the road
shoulder near the crash site,
Alejandro Estrejo Resendiz
said he was driving the van. He
had blood on his head from a
cut and more blood on his blue
jeans, but he said he was other-
wise unhurt.
Speaking through a transla-
tor, he said the crash happened
on a curve near a small bridge
as he and the other workers
headed for their jobs in Monro-
eville, Alabama.
They had left Macon, Mis-
sissippi, and were about 25 min-
utes into a more than 110-mile
drive along rural roads.
Resendiz said he was in his
lane and tried to avoid the truck
but couldn’t.
“At the moment I tried to
swerve, get over to the side, the
truck hit me,” he said.
The truck pushed the van
backward into the guardrail,
where it came to rest. The as-
phalt was gouged, and metal
guardrails were bent. The road
was stained with fluids from
one of the vehicles.
Asked if he felt lucky to be a
live, he said, “It was a miracle.”
Investigators on Monday
were working to reconstruct
how the crash happened.
Weather is not believed to have
been a factor, the sheriff said.
Volunteer rescue workers
from Kemper County and from
the nearby town of Philadel-
phia, Mississippi, responded.
“You do what you can to pre-
serve the bodies with dignity,”
Moore said. “After it’s over
with, that’s when it starts to set
in what you’ve just done.”
Amy Lugo said the mother
of her husband and his three
brothers still lives in Camaron-
es, Mexico.
“I just feel so bad for their
mom. She lost all four of her
sons in one day,” she said.
The victims lived in four
trailers parked on a corner lot in
Macon, Mississippi. Lugo said
they typically sat in the same
spot in the van each workday.

Prosecutor
Continued from Page 1A
The county prosecutor
— who argues the coun-
ty’s cases in justice court
— is an elected position.
In the past, the county
prosecutor has been ap-
pointed by the supervisors
to also serve as the county
prosecutor in youth court.
Since the youth court
prosecutor is an appoint-
ed position, and since it
has become “a bigger job”
in recent months, Board
President Harry Sanders
suggested to supervisors
they consider appointing
a separate attorney to that
position after a new coun-
ty prosecutor is elected in
November.
“We’re grateful (Mc-
Clanahan) chose to step
in, of course, but the job is
very involved and I under-
stand that,” Sanders said
during Monday’s board
meeting. “We ought to,
and this is just a thought,
we ought to consider
breaking up the position
to ease some of the work
load.
“Because what goes
on in (youth court) is so
sensitive, that’s a lot of the
workload for the county
prosecutor,” Sanders later
told The Dispatch. “We
would have to talk about
pay scale and so forth at
the next meeting, but I
wanted everyone to think
about that as an option.
With (youth court), (coun-
ty prosecutor) turned out
to be a full-time job. I don’t
think that’s exaggerating
when (McClanahan) said
that.”
As county prosecu-
tor, McClanahan made
$45,700 a year. County
board attorney Tim Hud-
son has agreed to serve
the remainder of McCla-
Sanders Brooks
nahan’s four-month term.
Supervisor Leroy
Brooks, District 5, said he
“doesn’t have a problem”
with Sanders’ idea, pro-
viding the attorneys are
qualified and the cost is
reasonable.
“My thing is that cer-
tainly we need someone
who’s going to be able to
work with youth,” he said.
“I think the two factors
I’m going to be looking
at most are who the attor-
neys are and how expen-
sive it’s going to be. But I
don’t have any issue with
it.”
Sanders added that he
will meet with Kizer to
discuss hiring a separate
county prosecutor for the
juvenile court.
“Because she has that
experience as a judge and
county prosecutor, she’ll
know what we should be
looking for,” he said.
Brooks agreed.
“I’m personally going
to rely on her recommen-
dations, as well as looking
at the cost, when it comes
to making a decision on
appointing two attor-
neys,” he said. “I think it’s
important we have some-
one in place who is edu-
cated and experienced in
(youth court) and I think
(Kizer) knows what we
need to be looking for.”
Kizer did not respond
to The Dispatch’s calls for
comment by press time.

Supes
Continued from Page 1A
ard, who represents the
district, asked Starr to
use the property as the
project’s staging area,
for trucks, supplies and
equipment as the coun-
ty worked on a nearby
condemned bridge. Starr
granted the county an
easement.
In return for the ease-
ment, the county gave
Starr old metal panels and
beams that were removed
from the bridge. However,
the county can’t legally
give away materials to
private citizens, and the
transaction prompted an
investigation from the
State Auditor’s Office.
Board Attorney Rob
Roberson said during
Monday’s meeting the
auditor’s office ultimately
decided to leave the mat-
ter to Oktibbeha County
to resolve.
“Their exact words to
me were, ‘You need to get
this dealt with in as finan-
cially feasible a way and
proper way as you can,’”
he said. “This is what I’m
attempting to do.”
As part of resolving
the case, Roberson said,
Howard Starr
the county had the panels
evaluated and priced at a
salvage rate. He said there
are seven panels, which
weigh a total of 14,500
pounds. They were priced
at $9.50 per 100 pounds,
for a total of $1,377.50
Roberson presented
three motions to the board
— to set the bridge panels’
value at the salvage rate;
to recognize the county
damaged Starr’s proper-
ty; and to give Starr the
panels for value and an
additional $2,000 for the
damage to his property.
While the county is not
selling Starr the panels,
Roberson said it is using
their value to count to-
ward the damages agreed
to with Starr, instead of
just giving them away as it
previously had.
The first two motions
passed 4-0, with Board
President Orlando Train-
er absent. The final mo-
tion, to give Starr the
panels and money, passed
3-1, with District 1 Super-
visor John Montgomery
opposed.
Howard said he was
glad to see the matter re-
solved so the county can
move on from it.
“Through this, I think
this shows that this board
operates with integrity,
and the audit department
said as much by saying
this is not a matter for the
auditors but this is a mat-
ter that the board needs
to go back and redo the
process and make sure we
crossed our Ts and dotted
our Is,” he said.
Roberson added that
Starr sent the county a
letter stating that $13,000
worth of damage was done
to his property, in a dam-
aged gate and damage to
the ground from the con-
struction vehicles. He said
the final cost to the county
was significantly less than
it could have been.
Starr lives in Columbus
and works as a periodontal
surgeon with practices in
Columbus and Starkville.
He’s served on the Institu-
tions of Higher Learning
Board since Gov. Phil Bry-
ant appointed him in 2015.
Starr, who once re-
ferred to the investigation
as ‘Bridge-gate’ said he
was happy with the con-
clusion.
“They went out and
figured out the amount
of damages and made me
whole,” Starr said. “I’m
satisfied. As far as I’m
concerned, it’s water un-
der the bridge.
“No one was trying to
do any harm to anyone,”
he added. “They were try-
ing to do the right thing
and I just got caught up in
the middle.”
Montgomery told The
Dispatch after the meet-
ing that he thought giving
Starr the panels would
have been enough to end
the matter.
“I thought the bridge
panels were sufficient to
cover the damages and
whatnot there,” he said. “It
was nothing more or less,
just in my opinion, that
was a fair deal — to give
him the panels in a wash.”

Our View

Anniversary of 19th Amendment reminds us of the power of voting

Today marks an important
date in our history, one that is
not only worthy of reflection
but should also serve as a call
to action.
It was on this date in 1919
that Congress passed the 19th
Amendment to the Constitu-
tion, which gave women the
right to vote.
Now, 100 years later, it’s
hard to imagine the reason
why women were denied this
essential role in fulfilling
the promise of our founding
fathers that the United States
would be governed by the
people.
The vote remains the one
role that every adult American
can play in our government.
Through it, we choose our
leaders who write our laws and
enact our policies.
For all high-toned rhetoric,
our nation has struggled to
make good on that promise.
In every case where groups
have been denied the right to
vote, the struggle has been
long, difficult, even bloody.
The first women’s suffrage
meeting took place in Seneca
Falls, N.Y., in 1848. It took 71
years and multiple generations
of women fighting for the right
to vote before Congress finally
enfranchised half the adult
population of our nation.
The long struggle for the
vote was not confined to wom-
en. In 1870, the 15th Amend-
ment to the Constitution gave
black men the right to vote...
theoretically. In many plac-
es, particularly in the South,
there were multiple efforts to
suppress the black vote — poll
taxes, literacy tests and acts
of intimidation — essentially
disenfranchising black males
and females alike.
As a result of these black
voter suppression tactics, the
number of registered black
voters in Mississippi fell from
52,705 to just 3,573. In 1964,
the year before Congress
passed the Voting Rights Act,
just 6.7 percent of eligible
black adults in Mississippi
were registered voters.
Today, the fight for this ba-
sic American right continues.
As of last year, Mississippi had
1.8 million registered voters,
but there are another 180,000
people (10 percent of the total
number of registered voters)
who have permanently lost
their right to vote because of
felony convictions. Mississippi
is just one of four states that
permanently denies the vote
to those convicted of certain
felonies, a list that includes of-
fenses such as stealing lumber
or receiving stolen property.
While there has been some
talk in the Legislature about
restoring rights to former fel-
ons under some circumstanc-
es, there has been no legisla-
tion passed to change things.
It took women 71 years to
get the vote. It took Southern
blacks 95 years to claim that
right. For 180,000 Mississippi-
ans that wait continues.
When we think of those
long struggles, it’s hard to
imagine why so many Missis-
sippians do not honor the hero-
ic efforts by going to the polls.
Voter turn-out in non-Presi-
dential elections in Mississippi
remains low. Last year, just
42.5 percent of Mississippians
bothered to go to the polls, and
even that number was hailed
as an improvement over past
years.
This year, Mississippians
will be asked to go to the polls
to elect county and state-wide
officials, beginning with party
primary elections in August
and the general election in
November.
If you are inclined to stay at
home during these elections
under the theory that “my vote
doesn’t matter,” we ask that
you consider generations of
women, blacks and ex-felons
who came before.
The vote mattered an awful
lot to them, enough to sustain
the effort to claim that right for
decades.
Simply put, if you choose
not to vote you dishonor their
struggle and have failed in
your basic duty as an Ameri-
can.

Letters to the editor Cartoonist View

Voice of the people
Supervisor concerned with Dispatch’s error
On May 31, The Commercial Dispatch ran an
article on the front page, above the fold of the
newspaper. An editor’s note at the bottom of the
story on page 3A stated the following:
“Norma Sanders is the wife of Lowndes Coun-
ty Board of Supervisors President Harry Sanders.
Supervisors appoint county school board mem-
bers.”
Only one of these things is true.
Unlike the Columbus Municipal School Dis-
trict board, the Lowndes County School Board
members are elected by constituents who are
parents and taxpayers in their respective dis-
tricts. These board members are elected to their
positions in the same way the Lowndes County
Board of Supervisors are elected to theirs. We
serve the same people.
A correction was printed deep inside a later
edition of The Dispatch, hidden both in print
and online and does not clarify how the board is
constructed.
However, perception is reality and the damage
that misinformation can cause has already been
done.
It is imperative when dealing with sensitive
topics, like that of people’s careers, that the facts
are reported correctly.
The original Editor’s Note at the bottom of the
article was targeted and unfair. The implication
that I would or could assert influence over the
school board is wrong. This isn’t just an error in
reporting; to me it is representative of media bias.
This error has affected the school district,

ity of our community newspaper. On a personal
note, it has subjected additional and unnecessary
stress on my wife and family.

Health tip
n Choose sleep superfoods: While it’s important to avoid a big, heavy meal right before bed (a full
stomach will disturb your sleep), some foods may actually help you snooze. If you’ve had a few nights of
restless sleep, make a light whole-wheat-pasta dish with fresh vegetables, a little diced chicken breast,
tomato sauce, and a sprinkle of Parmesan for dinner. This meal contains a snooze-friendly combination
of protein and tryptophan, an amino acid that converts to sleep-promoting serotonin in the body.

Orioles draft OSU’s

Rutschman with
top pick in draft
By DENNIS WASZAK Jr.
The Associated Press

SECAUCUS, N.J. — Adley Rutschman

heard the chatter for months that he’d be
the No. 1 pick in the Major League Base-
ball First-Year Player draft.
The switch-hitting Oregon State
catcher just kept slugging at the plate
and throwing out would-be basestealers
all season from behind it — making it
an easy call for the Baltimore Orioles on
Monday night.
“It’s unbelievable,”
Rutschman said from Goss
Stadium in Corvallis, Ore-
gon, shortly after becom-
ing the top selection. “Just

Brewers take Small in first round of MLB draft
BY BEN PORTNOY
bportnoy@cdispatch.com
STARKVILLE — Ethan Small al-
ready has his plans set for this week-
end.
The Mississippi State pitcher
learned Monday, though, a little bit
more about his future, as the Milwau-
kee Brewers selected the redshirt ju-
nior left-hander with the No. 28 over-
all pick in the first round of the Major
League Baseball First-Year Player
draft.
Small, a 6-foot-3, 214-pounder from
Lexington, Tennessee, is 9-2 with a
1.88 earned run average in 16 starts
this season for No. 6 national seed
MSU (49-13), which will play host to
No. 11 national seed Stanford (45-12)
this weekend in the best-of-three Su-
per Regionals in Starkville.
“I wanted to help my team win the
game,” Small said. “That is what it
really comes down to. It is not about
the draft or the punch-outs. It has nev-
er been about that. It is about being
thankful for the opportunity to go out
See Small, 3B
The announcement by Commissioner
Rob Manfred at MLB Network studios
marked the second time the Orioles led
off the draft — they took LSU pitcher
Ben McDonald in 1989.
“I met with all the teams over the
course of the year and knew the Orioles
were going to be the first overall,” said
Rutschman, a 40th-round pick by Seattle
three years ago. “As the year progressed
and went along, it looked like it was a pos-
sibility more and more. It just worked out
that way.”
With the No. 2 choice, the Kansas City
Royals grabbed Texas high school short-

Rutschman provides hope for
a franchise that finished last
in the AL East the past two
years.
“He’s everything you
want and he plays a premi-
um defensive position with
athleticism that gives him
versatility to play elsewhere,
as needed,” Orioles general
manager Mike Elias said in
a video statement posted on
the team’s Twitter account.
“A future fixture for this or-
ganization.”
The 21-year-old
Rutschman had been the fa-
vorite to go first overall since
he led Oregon State to the
College World Series cham-
pionship last year and was se-
lected the most outstanding
player.
He followed that up with
a dominant junior season for
the Beavers, hitting .411 with
a career-best 17 homers to go
with 58 RBIs and a school-re-
cord 76 walks. On defense,
he threw out 13 of 27 runners
attempting to steal.
Rutschman, a native of
Sherwood, Oregon, is a fi-
nalist for the Golden Spikes
Award given to the country’s
top college player. He was the
Pac-12 player of the year and
the conference’s co-defensive
player of year.
His selection marked the
seventh time a player drafted
as a catcher was taken with
the top pick, and first since

overall dual match winning percentage
(75.8%, 135-43), and singles dual match
winning percentage (87.1%, 81-12).
The 2019 ITA National Senior Player
of the Year finished his tenure ranked
third nationally in doubles with Rakic.
Borges and Rakic reached the NCAA
Doubles quarterfinals and earned
All-America status for the second year
in a row. The tandem was ranked as high
as No. 1 in their time as a team, finishing
the 2018 campaign at the top spot. Borg-
es and Rakic had a 23-11 ledger in 2018-

UCLA hits four HRs, rolls

By CLIFF BRUNT

excitement that postseason base-
ball elicits.
In a wild 11-6 victory against
Southern on Friday in the first
game of the regional, MSU senior
reliever Cole Gordon offered an
outward display of emotion. Tasked
with getting a six-out save, Gordon
retired six of the seven batters he
faced via strikeout. Striding off the
mound after sneaking out of an
eighth-inning jam, Gordon released
an exulted roar, much to the en-
joyment of the 11,000 maroon and
white clad onlookers.
“(Southern) came out there and
hit good pitches,” Gordon said. “My
goal was to go out there, fill it up,
and force contact if I could. If not,
just make good pitches to help the
other guys out.”
Redshirt junior Ethan Small
offered a similar scene Saturday
against Central Michigan. With
runners on first and third base
in the bottom of the third inning,
Small struck out Griffin Lock-
wood-Powell on three pitches.
Turning toward the CMU dug-
out, Small barked toward the Chip-
pewas before storming back to the
Bulldogs’ bench.
“Only time I do it is when the op-
position has been chirping for some
time,” Small said in a tweet follow-
ing the game. “I’ve never been a
crazy emotion guy on the mound.
But if ya got something to say… We
can respond. We compete.”
The Bulldogs have competed.
Mangum, their senior leader, has
led the way. On Sunday, he broke
out of a four-game hitless streak
with an infield hit. After he beat the
throw from the pitcher, Mangum
crouched at first base and gave the
MSU dugout a thumbs up in cele-
bration.
“Everyone on our team is going
through scuffles, but the one thing
everyone has done is kept a positive
attitude because we’ve been win-
ning all year,” Mangum said. “It is
miserable to be struggling and los-
ing. When you are winning, it’s easy
to stay positive. That’s a testament
to the guys in the locker room.”
After coasting through the
Starkville Regional, MSU (49-13)
hopes to use similar emotion, flair
and fun to carry it into its best-of-
three series against No. 11 national
seed Stanford in the Super Region-
als at Dudy Noble Field.

Small

there and make the most of it.”
On Saturday, Small, the 2019
Southeastern Conference Pitcher
of the Year, became the third mem-
ber of MSU’s 300-strikeout club af-
ter he struck out 10 in a 7-2 victory
against Central Michigan in the
NCAA tournament’s Starkville Re-
gional. Small allowed five hits and
two runs (both earned) and walked
three in six innings.
As MSU’s ace this year, Small
has posted one of the program’s
best seasons. Small’s 160 strikeouts
are second on the MSU single-sea-
son charts. All 16 of his starts have
lasted at least five innings, while 12
have been six innings or longer. He
also boasts 11 double-digit strike-
out games.
“Where do I start,” Small tweet-
ed Monday night. “I’m so beyond
thankful to have been embraced by
such a great culture at MSU. To ev-
eryone who has reached out, thank
you. I will respond as soon as I can.
To the Brewers organization, thank
you. From the bottom of my heart,
thank you. Now let’s win the thing!”
Small’s most recent display of
excellence came in a seven-inning,
three-hit gem against No. 2 Van-
derbilt in the SEC tournament in
Hoover, Alabama. Although MSU pitched more from 86-92 mph, but
lost 1-0, Small struck out 11, includ- guys just don’t touch his fastball.

Wallner, the consensus 2017 na-
tional Freshman of the Year and
an All-America pick by almost
every media outlet in his first two
seasons, played in all 189 games in
his three-year career for the Gold-
en Eagles. He made 188 starts (10
in left field, 93 in center field, 67 in
right field, and 18 at designated hit-
ter, including once as both DH/P).
A co-captain this season as voted
on by his teammates, he batted .323
with 12 doubles, 23 home runs, and
60 RBIs to earn Conference USA
first-team honors. His home run
total is tied with four other former
Golden Eagles (Clint King 2003,
Jeff King 2003, Bill Selby 1992,
Fred Cooley 1989) for the most in a
single season at the school.
Wallner became the school’s ca-
reer home run king with 54 on the
final day of the regular season with
two homers against Alabama-Bir-
mingham on May 18. He added two
more home runs in the C-USA tour-
nament and two in the NCAA tour-
nament’s Baton Rouge Regional to
finish with 58.
Wallner earned selection to
the NCAA Baton Rouge Regional
all-tournament team and was the
C-USA Tournament Most Valuable
Player, which included a 10th-in-
ning, game-winning two-run homer
against Rice in the C-USA opener.
Wallner ranks fifth on the career
charts for RBI (190), sixth in slug-
ging percentage (.652), seventh in
total bases (449), and first in walks
(141). He enjoyed a season-high
nine-game hitting streak late in
the season, ending in the first LSU
regional contest. He finished third
in multi-hit games (17 two-hit, five
three-hit, one four-hit) with 23 and
first in multi-RBI games (nine two-

Raptors OK mentally, Warriors shaky physically in NBA Finals

By BRIAN MAHONEY
The Associated Press
TORONTO — The Toron-
to Raptors feel good mentally,
and they are certainly in better
shape physically than the Gold-
en State Warriors.
The Raptors know they have
outplayed Golden State for per-
haps 90 of the 96 minutes of the
NBA Finals, and they almost
overcame the one brutal stretch
where they didn’t. Despite being
blanked for nearly half the third
quarter of Game 2, the Raptors
were within two points in the fi-
nal seconds.
Golden State held on to
win 109-104, tying the series
that moves to Oracle Arena for
Games 3 and 4. The Raptors lost
the game and home-court ad-
vantage, but not any of their be-
lief that they can win the series.
“We fought back and we
know that going towards Game
3 we’ve got to play a lot better,
and it’s going to be even hard-
er on the road,” Raptors guard
Fred VanVleet said, “but we’re
capable and we know what we
bring to the table.”
The Warriors aren’t quite
sure, at least as it relates to their
health.
They are hoping Kevin Du-
rant is close to returning from
a seven-game absence with a
strained right calf, and that
Klay Thompson can play after
he limped off the court early in
the fourth quarter Sunday. The
Warriors said Thompson had an
MRI exam Monday that indicat-
ed a mild left hamstring strain
and that he would be listed as
questionable for Game 3.
They will be without Kevon
Looney, who has been their best
center in the postseason. He will
be out indefinitely because of a
non-displaced cartilage fracture
on the right side of his ribcage
that he sustained in Game 2.
So the Warriors were in no
condition to dance their way
back across the border in this
first NBA Finals to be played
outside the U.S. — in fact, De-
Marcus Cousins posted an
Instagram picture of him and
Andre Iguodala being moved
through the airport in wheel-
chairs.
But they wouldn’t have been
too excited even in peak condi-
tion. They’ve played in so many
series during their run to five
straight finals that they under-
stand better than anyone how
momentum works.
“It swings so much. They’ve
gone through it, too, when they
were down 0-2 last series and
won four straight games,” Ig-
uodala said. “We won two games
at home and went to Houston and
lost two and everyone thought
the world was ending, especially
with our team. Certain things
that we pick up along the way,
that experience will help us with
emotional swings from game to
game in this series.”
Iguodala hit the clinching
3-pointer after the Raptors had
clawed their way within two
points by scoring 10 straight in
the final minutes. It certainly
seemed it would be easier for
the Warriors after their 18-0
run to start the third quarter,
an NBA Finals record to begin
a half, had put them in control.
Toronto stayed in it thanks
to Kawhi Leonard, who fin-
ished with 34 points and 14 re-
bounds, and an assault on the
backboards in which they out-
scored the Warriors 23-0 in sec-
ond-chance points.
It might take even more
than that to get a game at Ora-
cle Arena, where the two-time
defending champions will play
Wednesday for the first time
in nearly three weeks. Golden
State hasn’t played a home game
since Game 2 of the Western
Conference finals against Port-
land on May 16.
“The only thing that matters
is the four. Four wins,” Leonard
said. “Once you get it, two wins,
three wins, it does not matter.
Just take one game at a time and
just play through the adversity.”
That’s what the Warriors did
in Game 2, when they turned to
all the tricks they’ve learned and
pulled a rabbit out of their hats.
Now they have to hope they
won’t run out of rabbits.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June
4). This solar return feeds and
fortifies your dreams while
strengthening your sense
of self, readying you to take
advantage of opportunities
coming your way. Highlights:
Your brainchild will walk on its
own. You’ll give a performance
that opens the door for you to
give 10 more. A committee will
promote you. Taurus and Cancer
adore you. Your lucky numbers
BABY BLUES are: 3, 9, 49, 17 and 44.
ARIES (March 21-April 19).
Each organization has its own
unique power structure, but they
all run the same way. In order to
get anything done within the or-
ganization, you must first figure
out who has influence, who the
influencers listen to and what
BEETLE BAILEY
MALLARD FILLMORE
FAMILY CIRCUS
they want.
TAURUS (April 20-May
20). Stopping is different from
quitting. When you find yourself
pushing in a way that feels
harmful or useless, stop. Step
back. Catch your breath. And
figure out your next move. Don’t
quit.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21).
You’ll acknowledge the other
person’s situation. This conveys
that you’ve paid close attention.
You might be surprised at the
difference this makes. Sadly,
many people aren’t listened to
very often.
CANCER (June 22-July 22).
As a rule of thumb, there are
two emotions present in you at
any given moment. There’s the
emotion you’re presenting and
the emotion you’re feeling. The
closer those two are to each
other, the more comfort and
ease you feel.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The
competition is also a friend. The
questions about what you’re up
to and your process are partly
aimed to satisfy your friend’s
curiosity and partly asked for
other reasons. Be aware and
strategic.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).
You know what you like, what
you need and what would feel
nice to trade for it. Finding and
committing to the work that you
enjoy is a form of self-apprecia-
tion that goes a long way.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).
Feedback can make things
better. It can also make things
mediocre or terrible. Much
depends on how well you filter
the ideas. Listen to all today,
but don’t dismiss or commit to
any. Go away, and think about it
for a while.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov.
21). Though moods are states
of mind that are temporary,
you add up enough of one kind
of mood and it becomes an
attitude, or even a personali-
ty. Make mood management
today’s top priority.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec.
21). Making things up isn’t
always the same as lying. When
you put your mind to it, you’re
wonderfully imaginative, and you
can fabricate a reality for the
purposes of entertainment, play
or enhancing an experience.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-
Jan. 19). You’ve done a thing
enough to know there will be a
few surprises along the way. Not
only are you ready for those sur-
prises; you’ll use your skills to
tease them out so you can deal
with them before they catch you
off guard.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb.
18). Emotional obstacles are as
real as physical obstacles and
can be much harder to move.
The first step is in recognizing
when they’re there and what ex-
actly they are. Label and explore
the feeling.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March
20). To see a thing clearly is to
look at it from the point of view
of someone about to sell it, buy
it, play with it, trash it or come
upon it several years from now.
Different angles provide the
most comprehensive seeing.
