Pilots top Ducks in extra innings — Portland scored the tiebreaking run on a passed ball in the 11th inning and added an unearned insurance run en route to a 9-7 nonleague win over Oregon on Monday night at PK Park in Eugene. Kenyon Yovan’s two-out solo homer in the bottom of the ninth for the Ducks sent the game to extra innings. The Pilots’ 15 hits included two by Collin Runge, a junior from Redmond’s Ridgeview High School. The Ducks (18-13) return to Pac-12 Conference play Friday when they open a three-game series against Washington in Seattle.

Bus crash identities mixed up — One family’s hope was extinguished and another’s was renewed Monday, after Saskatchewan’s coroner’s office acknowledged it had mixed up the identities of a survivor and a victim of a violent bus crash that has shaken the province and all of Canada. The collision between a bus carrying the Humboldt Broncos hockey team and a tractor-trailer truck killed 15 members of the team and its staff and injured 14 others. Early Monday the Office of the Chief Coroner for Saskatchewan said in a statement that it had incorrectly declared Xavier Labelle, an 18-year-old defenseman, as dead. He is in a hospital in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. No information about his medical condition has been made public. The coroner said Parker Tobin, the team’s goalie, had not survived.
