Pitcher Gold leads Ducks over Pilots — Oregon pitcher Jeff Gold recorded seven strikeouts in leading the Ducks to an 8-2 victory over Portland in a nonconference game in Eugene on Tuesday night. Oregon, which stayed perfect with an 8-0 record, jumped out to a 6-0 lead in the first inning thanks in part to a three-run home run by catcher Shaun Chase. Austin Grebeck, Tyler Baumgartner, J.B. Bryant and A.J. Balta each had two hits on the night for Oregon. Gold, 2-0, gave up two runs and three hits on the night. Tuesday’s victory marked the first of 15 consecutive home games for the Ducks, who prepare for a three-game series with Cal State Fullerton starting Friday at 6 p.m. The two teams square off again on Saturday at 2 p.m., followed by the series finale on Sunday at noon.

Felton of Knicks arrested on gun charges — New York Knicks point guard Raymond Felton was arraigned on two felony weapons possession charges in Manhattan Criminal Court on Tuesday, following his early morning arrest after a lawyer for his wife turned in a loaded semi-automatic handgun allegedly belonging to the basketball star to a police precinct, claiming she no longer wanted it in their home, authorities said. Wearing a black sweatshirt with a peace sign and other symbols on it, Felton was seemingly upbeat as he appeared before Judge Diana Boyar, nodding affirmatively after he was ordered to stay away from his wife, Ariane Raymondo-Felton. He did not enter a plea, which is common for this stage in the case. “Mr. Felton has no interest in having contact” with her, one of his lawyers, James Walden, told the judge. Court records show she filed for divorce from Felton last week. Felton was released on $25,000 bail and was ushered into a black SUV following his arraignment. Under the terms of his bond, Felton can travel to games, bail bondsman Ira Judelson said.
