Harklau, Mayhead qualifying

Jarad Harklau and Jonathan May shot 5-under-par 66s on Monday to head qualifying for the final 10 spots in this week’s High Winds Casino Loma Linda Classic.

Three golfers — Tyler McDonald, Brian Coe and Brad Risenhoover — will tee off at 7:30 a.m. today on No. 1 in a sudden-death playoff for the final two spots. They posted 71s.

Joining Harklau and May as qualifiers were Derek Lamely (67), Zac Reynolds (69), Greg Mason (70), Bud Still (70), Stuart Moore (70) and Grant Downey (70).

The 72-hole NGA Hooters Tour event will start Thursday.

Twenty-nine golfers competed Monday with the start delayed until 3 p.m. because of the inclement weather. Local scorers included second alternate Lee Larimore (72), third alternate Tommy Clifford (73), Brian Black (75) and Brian Bruce (81).

Miners to resumeplay at Pittsburg

The Joplin Miners, their home doubleheader against the Grove American Legion baseball team rained out on Monday night, resume Wednesday at Pittsburg.

The varsity twinbill — games of seven and five innings, respectively — against Post 64 will start at 6 p.m.

Tucker Hagedorn’s Miners take a 7-4 overall record into Wednesday’s games.

“We plan to use several pitchers (against Pittsburg) to prepare for our tournament that starts on Thursday,” Hagedorn said.

The Miners, in their 14-7 loss to Bartlesville (Okla.) on Sunday, received two hits — both doubles — and two RBI from Devon Meyer. Marco Maturino, who scored two runs, and Dane Kolkmeyer added two hits apiece.

The opening schedule Thursday in the fifth annual Roper/Joplin Sports Authority Classic (a four-pool, 12-team affair) will be played at two sites.

Games at Joplin High School are Carthage vs. Bentonville (Ark.) at 4:30 p.m. and Joplin vs. Bolivar at 7. At Joe Becker Stadium, it’s McDonald County vs. Wagoner (Okla.) at 4:30 and Baxter Springs vs. Wagoner at 7.
