Tony Altobelli DAILY Plu>T MISSION VIEJO -In a give-and-take battle of two even teams, Newport Beach Uttl& League's Major Division All-Stars simply gave too much 'to the Viejo All- Stats, losing in seven innings, 12-10, in the District 55 Baseball Tournament Thuraday at Mission Viejo Youth Sports Park. A number of costly basenmning mis- takes combined with some late Viejo hero- ics equaled disaster for Newport. In the third and fourth innings. Newport had 15 batters out of tf> reach base safely via hits, walks or hit batsmen, but only nJne scored. Four were thrown out on the bases, while two were left stranded on base. The loss sends Newport into the loser's bracket where it will play Saturday at noon at the same site. It looked like a better fate for the 11-12 year-olds. ,After falling behlntl, 4-1, New- umE LUGUE 111-sTllS port seemed to tum the momentum around than.ks to a fine defensive play by second baseman Conner Ferguson. With two Viejo runners on, Ferguson battled a fly ball against a SUD that won numerous battles with infielders and out- fielders on the right side of the field. He managed to catch the tough fly ball and doubled up a runner trying to get back to first, ending the inning. Following that, Newport's bats explod- ed to the tune of six third-inning runs. 'I}'ler Ellis· and Michael Orozco each had two-run extra-base hits in that pro- ductive inning. Viejo regained the lead in the top of the fourth, however, scoring four runs to lead, 8-1. . In the bottom of the fourth, Jo04than Qlbin had an RBI double, while Michael Aspegren and Conner Ferguson each had RBI singles, giving Newport the lead once again, 10-8. DialyDas had three of Newport's 16 hits and tc0red three hms, while Feiguson, 'I}'ler Lance and Orozco each chipped in with two hits. Newport carried that 10-8 lead into the sixth inning and were one strike away from victory, but with runners on second and third, Viejo's Todd Bugbee smacked a single into right field, tying the game. Newport had a chance to end the game in the bottom of the sixth. They had two runners on base with two outs, but Mother Nature sent the sun down too fast and John Angelo's fiy ball to right was caught .to end the inning. In the seventh, another key two-out hit, this time from catcher Garrett Rubio scored two more runs and gave VUUo a 12- 10 lead. Orozco lead off the seventh with a solid single to .right, but a strikeout and a dou- ble play later, the game was over. Despite the loss, Evan Zoller pitched three solid innings, strlking out seven. Viejo took the lead early, thanks to a three-run home run from Dalla.s Lopez, whose shot just barely cleared the left-cen- ter field fence. Newport cut the lead to 3-1 when John Angelo drew a bases-loaded walk, soorlng DJalynas from third.

LONDON -Palisades Tennis Club member Lindsay Davenport, a Laguna Beach resident, will try to win her sec- ond straight Wimbledon title Saturday after defeating unseeded 17-year-old Jelena Ooldc, 6-4, 6-2, in the semifinals Tuesday. In the final Davenport will face Venus Williams, who beat her younger sister. Serena, in the semifinals Thursday, 6-2, 1-6 (7-3). ; The second-seeded Davenport was 9-10 nevet"pushed by Dokic, who committed 13 unforced error! and made the mistake of trying to match ground strokes with one of the biggest hitters in the game. Davenport, who appeared frustrated with her own play, served nine aces and pounded a service winner down the line on match point. The 24-year-old is bidding for a fowth Grand Slam title to add to her 1998 U.S. Open, 1999 Wim- bledon and 2000 Australian Open victo- ries. Against Williams, Davenport holds a 9-3 career edge over her, but the two have never met on grass. CONTINUED FROM 8 cer.
