Cajuste pinned his first-round opponent in the Class 6A 215-pound division, but struggled to win a 2-1 decision in the quarterfinals Friday night. Wrestling "He wrestled very poorly," Atlantic coach Scott Marone said of Cajuste, who improved to 32-0 and will meet Shaun Meeks (30-2) of Lake City-Columbia in today's semifinals, which begin at 10 a.m. "But when you're a great wrestler you sometimes do that."

Cajuste and Cintron were two of 13 area wrestlers who advanced to the semifinals.

Jeffery Bobo (South Fork) 10-7; 130: An State Wrestling Results Vaughn tops Red Sox's annual list for salary Palm Beach Post Wire Services FORT MYERS Mo Vaughn agreed to an $18.6 million, three-year contract Friday that makes him the highest paid-player in Boston Red Sox history.

The average annual salary of $6.2 million for the American League MVP exceeds the team record $5.5 million Roger Clemens will make this season. The deal, which Vaughn called "probably the highlight of my life," has a mutual option for 1999 that could make the contract worth $25.05 million. The first baseman couldn't have become a free agent until after the 1997 season, so the Red Sox got only one extra year of control over Vaughn while giving him a increase from his $2.77 million salary last season. The sides avoided an arbitration hearing scheduled for Monday in which Vaughn asked for $6.1 million and the team offered $4.2 million. Three years and an average salary of at least $6 million were key demands, said Tom Reich, who represents Vaughn along with Mark Gillam.

Vaughn had career highs last year of 39 homers and 126 RBI with a .300 batting average. He tied for first in the American League in RBI, was fourth in homers and fifth in total bases. a The Red Sox agreed to a one-year, $1,275,000 contract with pitcher Stan Belinda. He has the chance to earn $100,000 more for playing in 50 games. California Angels: Will have a record 61 players, including 32 pitchers, in camp for the first full-squad workout Tuesday.

Cincinnati Reds: There are roughly 12,000 unsold tickets for their opening day game. Colorado Rockies: Manager Don Baylor is impressed with pitcher Bill Swift, who is hoping to start opening day despite off-season shoulder surgery. "I'm a ways from the velocity, but I have to take my time, not try to impress anyone," said Swift, who was 9-3 with a 4.94 ERA in 1995. Los Angeles Dodgers: Starting pitcher Mike Harkey signed a non-roster contract that will pay him $250,000 if he makes the team. Harkey, 29, was 4-3 with a 4.55 ERA after being acquired last July by California.

Pittsburgh Pirates: Besides Denny Neagle, the only other starters manager Jim Leyland has said will be in the starting rotation right now are Paul Wagner and John Ericks, who are a combined 25-41. San Francisco Giants: Forest Hill graduate Robby Thompson said this is a make-or-break season for him. Thompson, 33, hit just .223 in 95 games last season, which ended with left shoulder surgery. He hit .209 in 35 games in 1994, a season shortened by right shoulder surgery. The two lousy seasons came right after the second baseman hit .312, with 19 homers, 65 RBI and a Gold Glove in 1993 and then signed a three-year contract that guaranteed him $12 million.

"If I go out and have another year like I've had the last couple of years, I'm going to have to sit down and think about my future," Thompson said. Texas Rangers: Catcher Ivan Rodriguez lost his salary arbitration case, but still wound up with a nearly 50 percent raise to $4 million. Rodriguez, a four-time All-Star at 24, had asked for $4.95 million. He made $2,675,000 last season.
