The next two or three seasons before the team moves to Las Vegas are going to be a rough go in terms of cultivating East Bay loyalty. Hiring a popular hometown kid who has always embraced the city—even opening his own "Beast Mode" bou- tique in the downtown district—is the no brainer of all no brainers. For their own reasons, some of them actually having to do with football, the Raid- ers are also desperate to make this happen. Heck, Lynch might per- sonally save hundreds of season ticket holders from canceling their orders. He might even go open their doors on Sunday morn- ings so that they can get to the game, just as he did for the Sharks. Reading some Silver and Black tea leaves, the Raiders have likely been thinking about signing up Lynch for a while—and definitely since last month when Latavius Murray left as a free agent to sign a deal with Minnesota. At the NFL meetings in Ar- izona a week ago, Raid- ers coach Jack Del Rio coyly danced around the Lynch question and only said he expected to have "a guy that can give us some of that power run- ning" on the roster in the 2017 season. However, Del Rio wouldn't go near the Lynch question directly. "I can only tell you that he is the property of somebody else," Del Rio told me and other report- ers in Phoenix. "So that basically forbids me from talking about him. He's a local guy, we understand that. Beyond that, we can't say anything." Except now, they can. Getting a deal done with the Seahawks for Lynch's rights will be a formal- ity. Raiders general man- ager Reggie McKenzie and Seattle general man- ager John Schneider are old friends. The Raiders may have to give up a low draft pick and/or one of Mark Davis' old vans with a spare tire or two. That's it. Assuming that Lynch's medical exam checks out, expect this to be done fast. It's true that the Lynch we see in Oakland may not be the same inde- structible heavy equip- ment machinery that we often witnessed in Seattle. But he's got to be good for six or seven quality car- ries a game. Used in the right situation, he can be a real weapon. What was it Al Davis once said? Des- peration makes gorgeous bedfellows. All right, so Al never said that. But given his penchant to sign veteran big names and put them in Silver and Black uniforms, you know that Al would like this move. If only I had listened to my daugh- ter last week, I might have confirmed the whole thing days ago. Meanwhile, if anybody should see Rich- ard Sherman working out at Stanford or any high school track near 49ers headquarters in the next few days, could they please call me? Purdy FROM PAGE 1 lead with a sacrifice fly and then Ryon Healy made it 4-1 with a long home run to left field — a two-run shot that was Oakland's first homer this season with a runner on base. You're going out there and your goal every sin- gle inning, regardless of the score, is to put up a zero and then put up an- other one, put up another," Triggs said. "But once your team gives you one of those, you really want to go out there and really make it stand up." Triggs backed that up with a pair of tidy 1-2-3 innings in the fourth and fifth. He opened the sixth by getting Trout to ground out and striking out Pu- jols, who went just 1 for 16 in this opening series. Consecutive singles ended Triggs' day, but Liam Hen- driks got the final out of the inning as the A's bull- pen worked 3 1/3 scoreless innings. Ultimately, Oakland's ability to limit the damage after Davis' error and then take advantage of Trout's proved differential. "When you capitalize on mistakes, it goes from a momentum swing one way to the other way," Mel- vin said. "When we made a mistake, Triggs got us out of it and when they made a mistake, we ended up capi- talizing on it." A's FROM PAGE 1 Bywireservices Crystal Dunn scored twice on the same field where she tied a national team record with five goals in a game last year and the U.S. women rolled to a 4-0 exhibition victory over Russia on Thursday night in Frisco, Texas. AllieLongalsoscoredtwo goals to give her five for her national team career — all on headers — as the U.S. cel- ebrated with an easy win a day after the announcement of a new labor deal that will cover the 2019 World Cup and 2020 Tokyo Olympics. Dunn opened the scor- ing on Carli Lloyd's 55th ca- reer assist for the national team, then added an unas- sisted goal for a 3-0 lead in the41stminute.Alittlemore than a year ago, she scored five goals in a 10-0 win over PuertoRicoinaCONCACAF qualifier for the Rio Olym- pics at the home of MLS' FC Dallas in suburban Dallas.

Hockey MINNESOTA DULUTH AD- VANCES IN FROZEN FOUR Alex Iafallo tipped in Wil- lie Raskob's shot with 26.6 seconds remaining to lift Minnesota Duluth to a 2-1 victory over Harvard in the Frozen Four semifinals in Chicago. A rather slow game ended in spectacular fashion when Raskob took a pass from Joey Anderson and fired the puck toward the slot. Iafallo directed it between Merrick Madsen's pads to break the tie. That sent the Bulldogs to their third championship game and their first since the 2011 team brought home the program's lone title. They'll face the Den- ver-Notre Dame winner Saturday. US ROUTS GERMANY 11-0, WILL FACE CANADA FOR GOLD Hilary Knight scored 1:06 into the game and Kelli Stack added a goal midway through the first period to give the U.S. a cushion that it wasn't content with in an 11-0 victory over Germany in the women's hockey world championship semifinals in Plymouth, Mich. The Americans will face Canada for gold on Friday night. They will be shoot- ing to win a fourth straight world championship final against the rival Canadi- ans, who beat them in the 2014 Olympics. Baseball TEBOWHOMERSINFIRSTAB TimTebowhitahomerun in his first at-bat as a New York Mets minor leaguer. The former NFL quar- terback connected for a two-run drive for the Co- lumbia Fireflies in a Class A South Atlantic League game against Augusta. Witha15mphwindblow- ing out, Tebow launched a shot and stopped at second base, thinking it was a dou- ble. But the ball hit a rail- ing just above the fence in left-center field and an um- pire twirled his hand to in- dicate the homer. Tennis DAVISCUP: AMERICAN SOCK TO PLAY AUSSIE THOMPSON For the second year in a row, the countries with the most Davis Cup victories willmeet.Thistime,Austra- lia is hoping for a better re- sult over the United States.

Colleges RACIAL, GENDER HIRING DE- CLINE A study finds racial and gender hiring in col- lege sports in 2016 declined from the previous year and still lag behind those in professional sports. The annual report card from The Institute for Di- versity and Ethics in Sport gave college sports a grade of C+ for racial hiring and a C for gender hiring.
