Pryor begins Raiders practice A's top Red Sox NAPA (AP) — On his second play of his first NFL practice with the Oakland Raiders, Terrelle Pryor fum- bled the snap and had to fall on the ball. He had one more fum- bled snap and a few errant passes in his 16 plays dur- ing team sessions, looking more like someone who hadn't played football since January than a future fran- chise quarterback. That's all to be expected considering he just jumped right in on his first day with the Raiders, while most every- one else has had more than four weeks of training camp. ''The problem is that now I'm 17, 18 days, prac- tices behind right now,'' Pryor said Friday. ''I'm just playing catch-up right now. Some of the stuff is getting there, and I'm starting to get familiar with some of the stuff. But it's been one day. Give me a couple of days, and I should be able to fill it in and feel a lot more com- fortable.'' Pryor was taken in the third round of the supple- mental draft on Monday and signed a four-year contract Thursday night. He had to digest the play- book, learn the terminology and be told how coach Hue Jackson wants quarterbacks to call out plays at the line of scrimmage. Pryor spent a lot of time at the side of Jackson or offensive coordi- nator Al Saunders, taking in as much information as he could. ''I wanted him to hear BOSTON (AP) — Scott Sizemore and Josh Willingham each hit two-run homers during a six- run fourth inning that carried the Oakland Athlet- ics to a 15-5 win over the Boston Red Sox on Fri- day, denying Tim Wakefield's bid for his 200th win. The win comes one day after the A's lost 22-9 MCT file photo Terrelle Pryor how a play sounds, I wanted him to get a feel for how we go about doing it, learn our tempo,'' Jackson said. ''This is the first day for him. Kudos to him. I thought he did a good job, first day, and we weren't able to give him a lot of information. All this hap- pened very quickly but got him here. Obviously he's here, he's ours and we'll get him ready.'' Pryor threw nine passes in team sessions, complet- ing four of them with a few far off target. He also fum- bled a pair of snaps on his seven running plays as he starts the process of learn- ing how to be a pro. Pryor will not play in Oakland's third exhibition game on Sunday against New Orleans and then will have three more practices before the preseason finale at Seattle on Sept. 2. Jack- son said it was too early to determine if he'd be able to play then. After that, Pryor will be ineligible to practice with the Raiders until serving a five-game suspension.

Dustin Pedroia and David Ortiz hit consecutive homers for Boston, which opened a nine-game homestand after going 6-2 on a recent trip through Texas and Kansas City. Wakefield (6-6), making his sixth try to become the 108th pitcher to reach 200 wins, gave up eight runs — four earned — on eight hits, walking two and striking out three. He's 0-3 with a 4.97 ERA during the six games. Jemile Weeks and Cliff Pennington each had three hits, and Willingham drove in four runs for the Athletics, who won for the seventh time in nine road games after losing 30 of their previous 37 away from home. Gio Gonzalez (11-11) gave up four runs, seven hits, striking out five and walking three in 5 2-3 innings for his second straight win after losing five in a row. He picked up just his third road win in 10 decisions. Leading 2-1 in the fourth, the Athletics scored six runs off Wakefield — four coming after Jarrod Saltalamacchia's passed ball on Weeks' strikeout with two outs. Sizemore started the scoring with a home run into the last row of Green Monster seats in left, making it 4-1. After Weeks fanned but reached first, Coco Crisp walked before Hideki Matsui doubled both home with a drive off the center-field wall. Willingham then homered into the Monster seats, his 23rd, making it 8-1. Boston outfielder Darnell McDonald pitched the ninth, allowing Willingham's two-run double after walking the first two batters. For a while it looked as though it could be sim- ilar to Thursday afternoon in New York when Oakland opened a 7-1 lead before its pitching staff was pounded. Boston answered with a pair of runs in the bot- See A'S, page 2B At LLWS, pastime at Lamade hill more than baseball SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP) — Get a thick piece of cardboard, push off with your feet and go belly-first down the hill. The second-most popular pas- time on the steep, grassy incline above the outfield wall at the Lit- tle League World Series' home field has nothing to do with base- ball. ''You don't really need them, but if you don't wear sneakers, you're going to get your feet dirty,'' Peter Delaney, 11, said while his father, Bill, kept a watchful eye as he showed off the best way to slide. ''You have to go where there's a trail, because that's where all the grass has died out, and it just hardens the dirt.'' ''The Hill,'' as it's known by most fans at the Little League World Series' Lamade Stadium, is as much an iconic image of the youth baseball tournament as the baseball itself. It's part play- ground — especially for young- sters like Delaney who don't mind getting a little dirty — and part seating area. And it's free, just like seating in the rest of both World Series stadiums. Just remember to bring a blanket or your own plastic chairs for seating. ''Here, you get the big pic- ture,'' Don Arkrum, 65, said he as and his wife, Joanne, took in Montana's 1-0 win Wednesday over California on the second level of the terraced hill from two beach chairs. They've come to the series the last 10 years from Lan- caster County, staying for about a week at a cabin. They are joined at certain games by their grand- children. Expect the hill to be packed again for championship weekend. Japan and Mexico meet Saturday afternoon for the international title, followed by California- Montana rematch for the U.S. crown. The winners square off Sunday for the World Series championship. ''It used to be the best-kept secret. But for the last two or three years, there's been a lot more people,'' Arkrum said. ''I'd rather watch these kids play then the million-dollar major lea- guers.'' The last week offered proof of just how big Little League can get when a local team qualifies for the tournament. The Keystone Little League from Clinton Coun- ty drew busloads of backers who made the 30-mile trip to South Williamsport. They were the first Williamsport-area team to make the World Series since 1969. An estimated 167,000 fans attended Pennsylvania's five World Series games, including 31,000 for the 2-0 loss to California on Thurs- day night — a huge crowd for a non-championship weekend con- test. Keystone's first game Aug. 19 drew a World Series record 41,848 fans, with thousands of them packed shoulder-to-shoul- der to the hill to catch a glimpse of the hometown favorites. ''It's hard to explain. The crowd has been absolutely amaz- ing,'' manager Bill Garbrick said. ''They might not experience any- thing like that the rest of their lives.'' First organized in Williamsport, Little League moved the World Series across the Susquehanna River to South Williamsport for the first time in 1959. Lamade Stadium was built on the site of a once rock-strewn field left over after municipal offi- cials had the side of Bald Eagle Mountain excavated to use the dirt to build dykes along the river. Students from a local college leveled and smoothed out the sur- face and created the terraced hill above the outfield, organization vice president Lance Van Auken said. The hill had stands until the mid-1960s. Since then, it's become a haven for both sliding enthusiasts and baseball fans alike. Jay Maneval, 43, of Collomsville, has been watching Little League World Series games since he was a child. ''It's certainly grown a lot since I've was here first,'' Maneval said while watching his two sons take turns sliding. ''You know, I don't think there's a bad seat in the house.'' 15 5 Sports Champion C. 25 25 25 19 21 15 1B Weekend August 27-28, 2011 Youth soccer kicks off season with opening ceremony CSNC CSNC CSNB FOX-30 CSNB NBC-24
