Daniel Dreifuss, Staff 8 League game against Pioneer Maggie Dasis and turned by Reyburn at second base. A 6-3 putout ended the game, stranding a runner on third base. Reyburn, a senior, went 3-for-3 with a run and an RBI.

Reyburn's run was the first of the game, coming after Pioneer Valley's catcher attempted to pick her off at third base, but the throw sailed high and into the outfield. Betts went 2-for-3 with a double and an RBI. The senior also made a big play in right field, throwing out Natalia Zaragoza at first base after Zaragoza hit what at first seemed to be an RBI single in the fourth. Betts' strong throw to first also held a Pioneer Valley base runner at third base. The Warriors got the third out of the fourth inning after a wild pitch bounced off the backstop and the Pioneer Valley base runner tried to score from third.

But the ball bounced right to the catcher Flatley and the runner was tagged out after a brief run-down. Righetti hosts Atascadero in its next league game. Pioneer Valley hosts San Luis Obispo. Both games are at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday.

Pioneer Valley coach Ernie Garcia felt his team's defense faltered late Thursday. "We played solid defense the entire game except one inning," Garcia said of Righetti's four-run sixth. "That bit us in the butt and now we're going home with a loss." Pioneer Valley is in fifth-place at 4-4 in the PAC 8. First-place Righetti is 7-2 in league and 13-10 overall. Pioneer Valley is 9-10-1 overall.

Righetti beat Pioneer Valley 4-0 on March 31. Garcia said the team's defense has been solid for much of the year and he's not worried about it going forward. His team just needs to come up with more clutch hits. "I think we need the timely hitting," Garcia said. "We're not getting those hits, we're leaving a lot of base runners on third base, that's killing us right now.

Throughout the season we've had bases loaded and ended up not scoring." Righetti's formidable 1-2 pitching combination of Barbarick and Stephanie Villalobos has prevented a lot of opponents from getting timely hits. Pitching is just another area where the Warriors have a lot of depth. "I have 17 girls on this team and each one of them can start," Roberson said. "I have a philosophy that the next girl has to step up and be ready to go." Barbarick and Villalobos have combined for 14 complete games. Villalobos has a 2.25 ERA, Barbarick's ERA comes is 2.74.

"I have two aces on the staff and it's been working," Roberson said. "They push each other out there and it's been great."

Templeton won seven singles sets 6-0 which proved to be the difference in the match. Josh Ogan and Chris Siefe, who normally play singles for the Conqs, teamed up in doubles to win 6-2, 6-1, 6-1. Kush Patel and Cedric Kwon were tested in two of their doubles sets but came out ahead 6-4, 7-5, then 6-0.

Landon Trigueiro and Keenan Murray only surrendered six game in their sweep, 6-4, 6-2, 6-0. "I'm really happy with the improvement that I've seen over the season," Riley said.

Finally, a trade was made, with San Diego moving up two spots to 15 to get another running back, Wisconsin's record-setting Melvin Gordon. San Francisco got the Chargers' first -rounder, a fourth -rounder and next year's fifth-rounder. Washington led with three choices: Shelton, Peters and LB Shaq Thompson to Carolina. The Pac-12 had nine choices, as did the ACC. Seventeen offensive players went in Round 1, which ended with DT Malcom Brown of Texas going to New England.

Eighteen underclassmen were picked among the first 32. Warriors From Page Dl "We were just trying to read the batters and see what they were doing with their swings," Barbarick said. "If we had success in the first time through the lineup we tried to stick with that." Backup catcher Chrystal Dulay came in for an injured Nicole Flatley and ripped a two-run double in the top of the sixth inning, giving Righetti a 4-0 lead. A batter prior to Dulay, senior right fielder Siera Betts gave the Warriors a 2-0 lead with a one-out single to left field. Courtney Reyburn, Righetti's No.

8 hitter, singled home pinch-runner Shayla Bautista for the final run of the game, the last hit of Righetti's four-run sixth inning. "We had girls coming off the bench, Chrystal came in and got a good hit," Righetti coach Mike Roberson said. "Also, hats off to the bottom of the lineup, other girls stepping up, that's what it takes. I think Courtney Reyburn did a fantastic job today. "That's what I'm looking for, a complete team effort." In the bottom of the seventh inning, Pioneer Valley got its first two batters to reach base after a walk and a hit batter.

The Warriors got out of the jam thanks to a 6-4-3 double play started by shortstop Pirates From Page Dl The last time the teams faced, Santa Ynez won 13-5. "Today we had four close sets and they all went Lompoc's way," Popkin said. Nick Kormas, who returned this week from a wrist injury, won one singles set 7-5.

"I'm happy that the teams played so well today," said Lompoc coach Jim Steffey. "They knew that the best teams in the league were battling for LPL seeding in the end of the year tournament.

"My top two doubles teams (No. 1 and 3) both have winning percentages at 93 percent, and my last doubles team is over 80. I'm hoping that will be good Florida headed upstate a bit to Jacksonville, then Oakland grabbed Alabama wide receiver Amari Cooper. The first senior taken was Iowa tackle Brandon Scherff by Washington in the fifth spot, a bit of a surprise. After Scherff, the Jets, normally heavily cheered when the draft was held in New York it's in Chicago for the first time in 51 years were loudly booed when they went on the clock.

And when they went for Southern Cal DT Leonard Williams, rated by some as the best overall player in this crop, the jeers increased exponentially. Why? Because the Bears were next up and need a dynamic player at the position. Still, the local team was cheered when it grabbed West Hancock's Jared Springer has Regionals.The preliminary round College. Hancock From Page Dl He finished second, at 45-4 14, in the shot put that day. He broke his own school record in the hammer throw by 11 feet with a mark of 146-10 the week before to finish second.

Springer advanced in all three events. Dionisio moved on by finishing fourth at 6-2 34 in the men's high jump the week before. Keszler advanced with a sixth-place finish, at 43-9 34, in the men's triple jump. Molesky advanced in the women's triple jump. Springer was the last discus thrower at the WSC Finals.

"Not really," he replied when he was asked if it helped him knowing what marks he had to beat. "I knew all the guys ahead of me could possibly throw farther than I could." The hammer is not a high school event in California, but, "I threw the hammer during the indoor season, so I had a six-month head start," on the 2015 outdoor campaign, said Springer. "The hardest thing to learn was just basically to get the footwork down so as not to fall. It's mostly timing. "I do a three-turn, and NFL From Page Dl Each of those teams went 2-14 in 2014, but coaches Smith and Whisenhunt, in their first seasons in charge, survived the awful record.

Now, they presumably have the main building tool. Winston and Mariota, who each had a year of eligibility remaining, will meet in the season opener in Tampa Bay. Neither quarterback was in Chicago, choosing to watch and celebrate at home with their families. It was the sixth time since 1967 that quarterbacks went 1-2, and this was no surprise. It wasn't a surprise to see Daniel Dreifuss qualified for the SoCal will be held today at Cerritos the biggest thing for me on my throw that broke my own school record was keeping the hammer in front of me," said Springer.

"It was mostly about the footwork." Springer said, "I was really happy with my discus series. It was very consistent. I've been throwing my best during these last two weeks." At the conference finals, Keszler was within a foot of his best of 44-7, which he said he has posted in high school and during his time at Hancock. "I was pretty happy with the way I jumped at the conference meet," said Keszler. "I was able to get my steps the way I like them." Meanwhile, Dionisio said, "I'm not at all satisfied," with the way he's been jumping this year.

He said he cleared 6 feet 8 inches once at Pioneer Valley and has cleared 6-6 at Hancock. He has consistently cleared around the 6-4 mark this year. "In my mind, my technique is just not good enough," he said. "There are a lot of things in my technique that could improve." Hancock coach Louie Quintana said, "If they have a good day, they all have a good chance advance." "It's the Southern Cal prelims, so you had better bring your best. If you don't, you're going home." Washington CB Marcus Peters or Missouri DE Shane Ray go in the opening round, although both bring questions about personal behavior to the NFL that dropped them a bit.

Peters went 18th to Kansas City, Ray 23rd to Denver, which traded up five slots to get him. Peters was kicked off the Huskies after several arguments with coaches. Ray was cited for marijuana use on Monday, and said he "will learn from my mistake." Coincidentally, marijuana has been legalized in Colorado. Nebraska linebacker Randy Gregory, who failed a marijuana test at the NFL combine, was not chosen. Following the quarterbacks were two more underclassmen: linebacker Dante Fowler Jr.

The doubles have carried the Braves all season, but Steffey was really happy to see Juan Esqueda compete like he has this season at the No. 1 singles spot. In his final set at home, Esqueda won 6-3 for the only singles set won by Lompoc. "It was nice to see my senior singles player win his last home LPL match against their No.

2," Steffey said. "He has been having shoulder problems since last year, but he battles every single day and doesn't complain." Lompoc will complete the regular season on Tuesday, with the LPL tournament being played next Thursday and Friday. Lompoc is 8-5 in the LPL, 9-5 overall. They have lost two Virginia's game -breaking receiver, Kevin White. Dan Quinn, the Falcons' new coach after he helped build Seattle's dynamic defense, got a nice tool in Clemson linebacker Vic Beasley.

The Giants selected Miami offensive tackle Ereck Flowers and St. Louis finished off the top 10 by taking Georgia running back Todd Gurley, who comes off a major knee injury. The pick drew some reactions of disbelief from the crowd of 2,800 in the theater and 50,000 outside in what the league calls Draft Town. No RBs went in the first round of the past two drafts. Minnesota took the first defensive back, Michigan State's Trae Waynes.

Then 33 9 -pound DT Danny Shelton of Washington was.
