Too many instruments are blaring through the house speakers. The spot- lights need to be tighter. He needs to work with Jen Flaherty on her solo. He yells to tus loud cast, ·1 love you, I love that you love each other, but be qwet!" And then Flaherty, who is in the corner near the piano, says her throat hurts when she tries to belt out a C in "What I Did For Love.~ Lorton softens. He always knows when he should. There's a difference between her throat tightening and her throat hurt- ing. he says. Flaherty, an alto, is frus- trated. Lorton suggests she lie do~. • and sing, to move the tension from her throat to her diaphragm.

Dokovic was convicted of shooting and killing Miroslav Marie, a 49·year-old Newport Beach resident. The shooting, billed by Costa Mesa Police as the most public one ever m this city. was witnessed by PUBUC several p~ople going about thetr everyday .SAFETY lives. It happened the afternoon of May 18. 2001, in the crowded park.mg lot of a Jack m the Box restaurant at the comer of 17th Street and Tustin Avenue. The prosecution maintained that Dokovic committed the crime dur· mg a robbery because the purpose of hls meetmg was to secure a few stolen Rolex watches. Investigators and attorneys alike said the case was complex and convoluted because of Dokovic's and Marie's mvolvement with a credit card fraud ring that operated in the Newport·Mesa area. The fraud ring was reportedly operated by Mike Dokovic, also known as llm.ija Frjlukcic, Ramadan Dokovic's nephew. The defense argued that Ramadan Dokovic shot Marie in self defense. It took the 11 - woman, one.man jury a little over three da}IS to reach the ve rdict. DokoVIc could fa ce a nywhere between 25 years to life in prison.

''V' •• PHOTO OF THE WEEK In my first week at the Dally Pllot, I've learned that the folks in this community do some pretty wild stuff. Andersen Elementary School Principal Mary Manos, however, takes the cake. She went hog wild for her students. The joy of photography some- times stems from the people you come in contact with, rather than the resulting Image. Manos, her staff and her students were an awesome group to encounter and a privilege to photograph. The kids, who raised $3,000 for the Make-A- Wish FoundaUon, were bolling with excitement at Manos' stunt, and she had the good nature to not only kiss a pig once, but several times for their amusement.

In the mid-to-late 1800s, shark fishing became popular and succeeded as a business. It was built in 1888 to replace another pier that was inside the har- bor. That area had too many sand spits though and cargo ships that were bringing in lumber and build- ing materials had trouble getting in, said longtime Newport resident Gay Wassall-Kelly. When Newport Pier came into being, people used bamboo poles. bandlines and drop-lines, according to James Felton's "Newport Beach, The First Century. 1888-1988. • The popular fish to bait were yel- lowtail, barracuda and a type of hal- ibut. The supply of yellowtcll.I dwin- dled in the 1930s though. When researchers measured the depth of the ocean under the New- port Pier, they found a large natural trench alongside it. "That's the way most families in the old days got their hsh, • Wassail- Kelly said. •It was perfect for all the big ships,• Wassall-Kelly said. The Newport Pier preceded the Balboa Pier. which was built in 1906. Tbe~ty of Newport Beach bought the pier in 1922 for $5,000 and rebuilt the structure with $30,000- plus. A stretch of railroad tracks that met the end of the pier were removed. This made fishing there easier and more popular.

Lolita Harper DAILY PILOT COSTA MESA -Com- munication is key to any successful venture, espe- cially when public safety is concerned, city officials said last week as they approved a $626,288 police department radio system. Council members voted unanimously to fund an antenna system that will provide clear reception to three officers stationed at South Coast Plaza. Last year, the Costa Mesa Police Department changed to the new 800- MHz radio system but cer- tain areas of the city had poor or little reception. Most of the affected areas could be fixed using exist- ing equipment but the area surrounding South Coast Plaza -on Bristol and Bear streets -did not improve.

Just weeks after the Chinese stowaways washed up on ow shores, a nwnber of Corona del Mar residents reported waves of small red shellfish doing the same. The diminutive deruzens ol the deep are no bigger than shrimp, but they're red and have pinchers, thus the "tiny lobster" appellation. The plucky trio says they are riding from coast to coast to prove to themselves that they can still lead active lives and to be role models to other amputees. , "It's an opportunity to demonstrate that a lot of things are possible regardless of, your individual circwn- stances, • said Keating. They are also supporting fund-raising efforts for amputee support groups that they are visiting along the way. Sapere, a retired U.S. Air Poree colonel whose left leg below the knee was amputat- ed after it skydiving accident two years ago, conceived the idea for the ride last year. He invited Keating and then was introduced to Suggs. In addition to cycling 50 miles a day, Sapere -who jumped out of a plane 10 months after losing his leg - is ~ going to complete 10 skydives to commemorate other amputees he meets along the way. His bike, an 18-speed Cannondale, is equipped with the latest high-tech gad- gets including a global posi- tioning system, a digital cam- era and a heart-rate monitor. Sapere's niece, Alison East-man. drove down from West Hollywood to see her uncle off. Eastman said she is inspired by her uncle's joie de vive, despite a handicap that could sideline a less hearty soul. "His challenge doesn't define him,• Eastman said. "I think [the ride] takes a real zest for life. We're all living and have choices to make. I would like to symbolically fol- low him." According to the Newport Beach Fire and Marine Department, the crusty crus- taceans were sighted last week on the Peninsula and some Corona del Mar beach- · es. But the question 1s what are they? The answer, my friends, Is not blowing in the wind, but can be found in Huntington Beach, or if you prefer, Louisiana. We'll get to the Bayou State later, but Huntington Beach -the large city just to the north where it's impossi- ble to find anything -has been deluged with wave after wave of crayfish wash- ing up on its beaches. Are the Newport Beach "tiny lobsters" really the Hunting- ton Beach crayfish, slightly off-target? Nobody knows. The •red shellfish• desoiption in Newport Beach would certainly favor that explanation. Lobsters -large or small -are dark brown in their natural state, not red. Crayfish, on the other hand, are red in the water and red- der in the pot. By the way, is it •crayfish" or •crawfish/ or are those two names for the same thing? And what are "crawdads"? Same? Differ- ent? No wonder this stuff is confusing.

Newport and Huntington should just refer all questions about crayfish and tiny lob- sters to the Louisiana Craw- fisb Company, which IS locat- ed, as if you didn't know, in Natchitoches, La. -the oldest settlement in the Louisiana Purchase and the heart of the Bayou State. To begin with, it's •crawfish. • Technically, it's crayfish, but they pronounce it "crawfish" in the South and write it the same way. U you order crawfish in Baton Rouge and say •cray- fish,• they will look at you like you were a crawfish. I know the feeling. One morn- ing long, long ago, while l was in the Air Force, I was ordering breakfast at the Maxwell AFB Officers Club in Birmingham, Ala. The waitress asked me if 1 want- ed grits with my eggs. •What are grits?" I asked. Her jaw dropped. a little gasp came out, and she looked at me like I was a crawtish. As for crawdad, it's a nick- name for crawfish. ln the South, it's also used as a slang verb. It means to back down from a challenge or lose your nerve. You don't eat saltwater crayfish, so don't bother run- ning down to the beach w1th a sack and a shovel. Freshwater crayfish Is the real deal,.

Each of our cities has a tea room. Costa Mesa's is called Tea & Sympathy and Newport Beach's little comer is Teddy Bears and Teacups. The majority of the clientele at both venues is female, between ages 6 and 96, but you do see the occasional male. Young girls fre- quent the rooms with the mothers and grandmothers, as do groups of teens and young women. Tea & Sympathy estimates about 30% of their customers are men. They "come in and are grate- ful that Starbucks is across the street.• said Anne Sallier. an employee at Teddy Bears and Teacups. But as dainty as ·high noon tea" sounds, there's actually a heartiness to the tradition. "It's when tea becomes more than a warm. stimulating liquid and takes its role as a meal,· said Janet Ingham, who works at Tea & Sympathy in Costa Mesa.

If you take into account the amount of per- sonal joy be brought me, you could say be was both friend and family. I was S years old when he won hit first title with the Lakers, just old enough to cement my earliest memories of my favorite player. The first time I saw him in person was at the Porum during the 1987 season again.st the Golden State Warriors (the only Laker game I've ever been to). I could barely sleep the night before. He had missed the previous game due to the flu and came back with a triple double to lead the Lakers to victory. I was 12. I'll never forget the stutter step at the top the key that paralyzed Eric •sleepy• Floyd as Magic hit James Worthy with a no-look pass on a cut to the hoop. 5o many great memories.

I MM UNITY Doily Pilot EDITORIALS Start working to revive .Fish Fry A gain. something is missing from our Cos- ta Mesa summer. The once-annual Fish Fry did not happe n for a sec- ond year in a row, despite promises from members of the Costa Mesa Newport Harbor Lions Club. · By now, the central redson for the death of the beloved, 57-year commuruty fair 1~ well documented: A lawsuit filed by an Irvine woman, who claimed she hurt her ankJe when she stepped off a curb at Orange Coast Col- lege -the site of the 2000 Fish Fry. The woman, Arlene Wolff. was on compus for a comput- er exhibit but Wed a claim that she also attended the F1Sh Fry. She sued OCC in 2001 for $80,000, and the college filed a cross complaint against the Lions Club, asking the club to share in the liability. That lawsuit is finally set- tled, and once again Lions Club members are promising that the Fish Fry will be revived, back to its original form with carnival rides and booths. We hope this good news 1s true, but having heard simi- lar assurances before, we're sadly skepllcal. In particular, we were troubled by Lions Club President Mike Schae- fer's acknowledgment of why this year's event djdn't hap- pen: •A lot of the dub mem· bers didn't wa'nt to any kind of planrung -and nghtfully so -until we had our law- suit settled." That statement does not demonstrdte the commuruty spirit that will revive the Fish Fry. Club members should have been doing everything within their power to hold the Fish Fry this year, not await- ing the end of the ldwsuit. Why not contact the City C'ounaJ dnd ask them for help? Incredibly not one Lions C lub member has done that. But the past is passed, and rdther than dwell upon a missed opportunity to enjoy ~ome Icelandic cod, we urge everyone to look to next June. Club members should work with any organization they can to ensure the Fish Fry happens lf there are wdys thdl city or school dts- tnct ofhclclls can help, orga- ruzers should not hesitate to i.eek the m out. We all enJOY the Fash Fry We all should be involved in bnnging it back to life. Pilot Clip success shoulO be cheered K irk Mclntosh had a dream of bringing together all of the stu- dents from all of the schools in Newport-Mesa for one com- mon cause -to be the reign- ing champs of youth soccer. The dream has been mostly realized. Mcintosh and others have successfully resurrected the former Uons Cup soccer tourney and renamed 1t the Daily Pilot Cup. drawing about 1.450 contestants this year alone, a hike of about 45% compared to last year. Last weekend. those soc- cer warriors converged on the fields of the Costa Mesa Parm Soccer Complex for a battle royale that will ~ seared into their mem6ries. Girls and boys alike scat- tered about the fields, kick- ing in goals, making friend· ships and creating cama· raderie that in some cases will last a lifetime. Mcintosh should be com- mended for putting together what we all hope will become an annual tradition where top-notch athletes from 'Newport Beach and Costa Mesa schools get to engage in their own annual World Cup of sorts. As many know, soccer has far surpassed baseball as the sport of choice among youth, a testament to the American Youth Soccer Orgdnization and parents who spend countless hours direcb.ng their children mto such worthwhile activities. Mcintosh. himself an A YSO coach and father of four soccer-playmg daugh- ters. was able to tap lnto that frenzy and has credted an event that should go on for yecU's to come. As we said, however, there is still more dreaming to do. So far, Mcintosh has run mto stumbling blocks in get· ting all of the Westside schools mvolved ror one rea- son or another. Some m those schools, many of whom are from lower income families, can't afford the entry fee. Additionally. there wasn't enough volun- teer coaches from those schools to get a team together. We hope that can change. The Dally Pilot Cup should be a sporting event that all Costa Mesa and Newport Beach students can caJl their own. So we urge those who are Involved in the Westside schools to get behind the e Cfort now because as far as next year's Pilot C up goes, we can hardly wait for the first whistle.

Sunday, June 9, 2002 11 BOLTON Fjsh fry Z.002 Costa Mesa City Council election approaches A s I perused my accwnulat- ed Daily Pilots after a weeklong vacation, I found several very intereSbng articles and columns -some very fortuitously juxtaposed -that require my response. l was delighted to see Byron de Arakal's May 29 column summariz· ing the proba ble candidates for.City Council in November (Between the Lines, ·Early handicapping in Costa Mesa council race"). I was especially encouraged by his inference that Counolman Gary Monahan may. in fact. reconsider tus plan to not run again. His loss and the probable defeat of Mayor Linda Dixon would leave us with a council totally under the thumb of Council- woman Ubby Cowan.

Of co • there is still the chance that Steel's seat may be vacant by that time, so we might have an opportunity to elect three counc.I members. not ju.st two. George Margolin's Soundmg Board on June 2 was an lnteresting echo of letters written by others recently (•Just who is the council representing?·). Apparently Mar- golin chose the comfort of his home in Newport Beach from which to lob his well-aimed comments at three members of our City Council. I then c:Uf.oovered the May 3 t issue contaiiung Lolita Harper's Reporter's NotebOok column, in which she takes to talk some critics of the Ctty Coundl as being gender- blued ( •councU crtUques too often play on genc1er·).

It's not a matter or ·the boys agamst the girls,• but one qwte sunply of lead- ership -or lack the reof. ln my Apnl 11 letter, I outlined my opinion of each council member and nothing has caused me to change those op10- 1ons at Uus time ("Columnist perfect- ly sums up Costa Mesa•). DlXon still comes across as a lightweight who lets Cowan -the strongest member of the counol -control her moves. Robinson has too much on her plate. Monahan 1s still trying and is still frustrated. Steel is still a clueless emply suit. On Monday, for example, he actually cast his vote on several 6sues before the motions had even been made. Harper was apparently also offended by my refe re nce to Cowan as a bully. One only had to watch Monday's council session to under- stand my opinion. Very early on tn the meebng, Martin Millard -a frequent speaker before the council -used his three minutes in the public comments por- tion to address the presence of gangs in his neighborhood. He expressed concerns he and neighbors had shared about this actiVlty, and pedf- ically mentioned people with ·gang tattoos on their arms• wandering past bis house, checking out his cars. He spoke b.ts piece clearly, passion- ately and finnly, Without showing disrespect to the council.

How fortunate we are to be able lo watch this kind or behavior live on Channel 74 every other Monday evening. Most of us are very grateful for the Dally Pilot's coverage of the City Council. I'm sure Harper, the author of much we read on city aetivities, does the very best JOb she can, undoubtedly has established valu- able re lationships with each council member and knows them much bet- ter than I ever will. That does not change the perception that I, and apparently many others, have of this counol's performance. I then read editor Tony Dodero's column on Monday and shared his disgust and d.lsmay at the anony· mous caller who apparently left a very vicious, tasteless message on Harper's voice mail (F.rom the News· room. ·Anonymous critics a.re Just plain cowardly"). Certainly. we are all enbtled to our opinions and many of us are grateful that the Daily Pilot gives us a venue m which to express them. The kmd of innuendo Dodero described may be hne for the caller to scream at wrestling performers on her teleVlSion screen. but is totally out of place in any land of ovili.zed discourse.

The real-life actors in this musical, who have less experience than actors you'd find in an Equity theater, know what it's like to want something, to have the ego to go after it and then to fear not getting it. With their starry-eyed candor, they blur the line between performance and reality. "My friends say, "You're a dance major, how hard can it be?"' said Vlkki Yuen, who plays auditioner Connie Wong . "This sort of shows what we do. We're showing you a side of the theater that people normally don't see.• DRAWING THE LINE The setting or "Chorus Line" is a Broadway audi- tion. Zach, the director, cuts six people almost immediate- ly, and the remaining 17 take their spots on the line, the chorus line. They take turns introducing themselves. Zach still needs to make the final cut. Cassie has returned to New York after trying to make it as an actress in Los Angeles. She has performed on the Line before and also used to date Zach. She is at the audition because she needs a JOb. Diana 1s sassy and comes from the Bronx. She once knew a performing arts instructor who told her she was nothing. Her best fnend is Paul, played by 18-year-old Robert Argueta. Paul went from doing drag shows to audi- tioning for Broadway. His history is painful, and his demeanor is Vulnerable. Lor- ton cast Argueta in the role because he •has a real sense of innocence behind him.• Everyone in the musical needs a job. They pray they'll get cast and bare, to a seemingly callous Zach , as much soul as skill. Lorton's tryout wasn't quite so harsh, but the peo· pie auditioning were still scared. Like the characters they would later come to play, they wondered what Lorton was looking for and hoped they provided that. When they messed up, they laughed through the fear. When Flaherty messed up, she made fun of herself to •stay sane.· Amber Nelson stared at what is called the "fourth wall" while singing "You Can Count on Me,• from the musical "City of Angels.• Her colleagues stared at the same imaginary wall when it was their tum~ sing. The wall seemed to b6 located past Lorton, past bbl production crew and way past fellow auditioners who were watching intently. Each sang 16 to 32 mea- sur6s of a solo. Lorton let some sing all the way through and stopped othen mid-tune. • 1t's not because you're bad, it's because I've beard enough,• be told them. Lorton wu looking for more than IOUing voices and light-footed grace. •With this type of show, it's about the emotion and the J>U:lion for tbe art,• be said. •Jt's much more about the penonalltlel and dealt~ w1th deep-rooted .modonl.

"Sometimes that's a gam- ble,• Lorton said, of casting parts in hopes that the actors will grow into them. "But it's never come back to bite me.• By the third audition night, Lorton had cut about 40 pe0ple. Some didn't have the talent, some •copped a · 'tude" instead of trying to learn. He chose a core cast of 10 trained dancers who sang well and seven trained singers wbo danced well. The finrt rehearsal involved just a read-through of the script, words without emotions. The second rehearsal took place at Birraporetti's restau- rant at South Coast Plaza. "The cast got to know each other,• Lorton said. •When you're onstage and working with people, you need to be able to trust each other. We're talking about six weeks of rehearsal and five to six weeks of run, no pay. So you make sure they're having tun."

During Hell Saturday. which was the last Saturday before opening week and lasted from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m .. Lorton and his actors answered the same question. They talked about their pas- sions and what losmg their dream would mean "The answers were thmgs that I wouldn't expect.• Lor- ton said. For Yuen, not perfomung would be compardble to the greatest loss she's ever known. She grew up Ln Hong Kong, where her dad owned a business and barely had time to see his children except on weekends. At 10, she immigrated to the United States with her mother and brother. Dad stayed in Hong Kong and visited the U.S. about once a year. The 21-year-old grew bit- ter. She realized she had never spent a birthday with her dad, that be had almost never seen any of her shows and that ms unloving ways had made her afraid to be loving first. "The ract that we don't hug and all that stuff was really hard for me.· Yuen said. "I'm a very artecbonate person.· She is also shy. "When I'm onstage, that's how I express mysell. That's me being able to open up and tell my parents and friends who I am,• she said. •I don't know how many or my friends really know me. I think if they don't see me in a play, they won't get to know me." · Her father visited the fam- ily last summer. Yuen was still angry at him and stiug- gling with her own problems -anorexia and bulimia. She didn't really want to talk to her dad, plus she barely had the energy. He had come to the U.S .. Yuen eventually learned, fo r skin cancer treabnent after undergoing chemotherapy \n Hong Kong. He arrived on a Friday, was admitted to the hospital that same weekend and then cij.ed on Tuesday. He stunned doctors who had predicted, only days before, that he bad six months to live. •1 didn't tell him I love him unW he was on his deathbed," Yuen said. "He only told me he loved me once." For two months, the daughter, who had trans- ferred from UC Santa Bar· bara to OCC by then, did nothing but regret the time she had wasted. She didn't dance, she cbd· n't go out, she stayed ln bed. But it's the last rehearsal before preview night and the show can't afford to have Argueta hold back on the emotions any longer. Lorton said the actor was *faking" his way through the lengthy and emotional monologue in which he tells Zach what it was like to come out as a gay man in the '60s. The actor said it was hard to not act. But during the painful exercise, with the spotlight shining almost rudely on Argueta on an otherwise pitch black stage. the actor finally shed real tears. Hall an hour of being taunted and yelled at forced him to con- nect with how Paul felt. Lorton rarely let up. He played a harsh mediator, ver- bally stabbmg and scream- ing his way to the core of Paul's scars. Argueta mumbled and shook through his monologue. Cast members, who were seated m a circle around him, pulled away when they stopped believing him and drew m tighter when he became convincing. They also 1eered and sneered. Wlule wipmg away tears, they tried hard to be horri- ble. Argueta, with his hands folded across his chest, final- ly broke into sobs and spoke like he meant it. Lorton said, "OK, love him." The cast, all 22 of them, smothered Argueta with a layered hug. His tears fell harder. "I completely trust my cast members,· the actor lat· er said. •Afterward when they all hugged me. 1 lost it, because I fell they really did love me.· Flaherty, w~~ cl;IAc-act4:'f. is Paul's best f~ spent most her ti.me in the circle weepmg. "It rut home really, really hard.· sbe said. ·All of us learned sometlung new about the show and the emo- bon we're supposed to have.· THE ROOM ACROSS THE STREET "Your lips a re too dark. Too ruby dark.· Lorton says to Flaherty minutes before preview night begins. "They didn't have that back then.• Flaherty blots. The two talk about using a different red. maybe a more muted one. Lorton continues down the long bench in front of the long vanity mirror that affords a cozy camaraderie when everyone sits side by side to do makeup. He com- ments quickly on the faces he passes. Some actors sit on the floor, wtth three-tiered makeup boxes exploding wtth brushes and blushes, lining each other's brows and dusting each other's cheeks. On two long couches tat- tered and foggy with age, Peek sits among understud- ies and yells out notes from a reheanal that ended just minutes ago. Everybody bad •really good arms· in the beginning of the opening combination. Argueta's apecing was off at one point. Everyone needs to work those bats. · Flaherty says she's excit- ed, that the cast is definitely ready 't<> be watched. Argueta says he's nervous be.cause his theater friends come on preview nights, when the tickets are cheap- er. He hopes he hits the B- oote in •And.• •rm not supposed to·slllg that song, but they gave 1t to me,• Argueta says. Onstage. Lorton warms up the band and sings half a dozen parts to accompany the instrumentals. His usual sweats, wtute sneakers and denim shut have come off. He's wearing, tonight, spiffy black loafers, gray slacks and a button- down shirt. He has even shaved. THE SHOWS GO ON Preview night goes OK. The show lags in pacing and the spotlight jumps with less- than-perfect tinting. Every- one beams through the show, but afterward they know they could have done better. A party might help Peo- ple start planning Tbe next rught of pre- views is almost flawless. ln Lorton's producbons. a preview means he can stop everything and have the cast redo a part, rehearse instead of perform. There was no stopping of anything on May 30 and May 31. OPENING NIGHT The d.ressmg room is sprouting with flowers on opening night. Wine bottles and snacks jut out of gift baskets. A framed poster for the show, signed by every- one in the cast and present- ed to Lorton minutes ago as a gift, leans proudly again.st a wall. Hall-dressed and Wlth faces hall-painted, many of the actors munch on energy bars and Cheez-Its. The room looks no different -no more nervous or crowded or Jess crazy -than it has in recent nights. Weber bas found a palf of furry angel wings in the cos- tume stash and strapped them on. He powders his face wearing jeans, a white shirt and wings. Ruben Rodriguez Jr .. who plays Greg. has lathered tus face and bald head with shaving cream and is getting theatrical for bis cast. The mood is relaxed. It might be the party they had the night before at a cast member's home, at Lorton's suggestion.

MISSION VIEJO -Perhaps, the exdtement of a tight District 55 Majors Tourname nt of Champions game resulted in an anxious umpire. The home-base umpire said he lost bis voice when he called an infield fly when the bases were loaded, one or two crucial calls that didn't go the Newport Beach Utt.le League Angels' way, and they lost. 5-4, as the San Clemente Reds came from behind to win Saturday at Curtis Park in Mission Vie10 "That was a beartbreaker, ~ NBLL Angels Manager Bob Rovzar said. "I've never seen a call on an infield fly like that one. Our kids reacted to a force lout). The ump indicated he lost his voice, and his other umpires never backed him up (or echoed) on the call.# In the pivotal bottom of the fourth, when the Reds were up to bat with the bases loaded and one out, the Reds' Lewis Craparona popped up a looping fly ba1J toward the mound. It went off the pitcher's glove, but Hunter Alder reacted quickly. scooped up the baJI and threw it to his catcher. The Angels' catcher, who just as the rest of the people ln attendance, never beard a call for an infield-Dy rule, and tagged home plate. The umpire ruled a sliding Brandon Hughes safe. Alder, who threw 84 pitches in four innings of work, struck out the next batter to end the inning. More controversy ensued in the bottom of the fifth with the score tied, 4-4. With one out, the Angels nearly completed a 1-3-2 d ouble play, but the umpire shouted, "He's safe,• after the Reds' Korey Engle slid at home. This time, relief pitcher Andy Rovzar recorded a strtkeout to erid the inning. Then, the Reds protected their 5.4 lead when relief pitcher Brad Curtis NEWPORT HARBOR BASEBALL ASSOCIATION struck out the side to end the game. The Angels scored one run in each of the second, third, fourth and fifth innings, but they had a run taken away from them after a runner's interference call in the fourth inning. An Angels' runner bumped into the shortstop .sm his way to third base, apparently leading to a throwing error. Shane Boras, \VhO played third base and shortstop for the Angels, led the NBLL team with two big bits that led to two runs. He pounded out a double to the gap ln right-center r~ld that scored Michael Page, who singled to left ir1 the third.

Roy Campanella, Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra. Jackie Robinson, Sandy Koufax, Billy Martin wouJd have been proud of the baseball they saw Sat1'rday al Mariners Park. Even though Saturday's game between the Yankees and Dodgers wasn't for the World Series champi- onship, these 11-and 12-year-olds put on a show reminiscent or past World Series matchups. The Yankees and Dodgers of Newport Harbor Baseball Association's Bronco Division needed three extra innings to decide the outcome when the Dodgers capitalized on three walks in the ninth inning to score two and eventually hold on to defeat the Yankees, 3-1. The Dodgers, coming through the loser's bracket. have won five straight in the double-elimination tournament and entered Saturday's game needing to defeat the Yarikees twice to win the title, with the Yankees (unbeaten in the playoffs) in a position to clinch. STM MC CRANK I DAILY PILOT Dodger baserunner Brandon Davis ts safe at third base as Kyle Lawrence of the Yankees applies the tag in Saturday's NHBA Bronco playoff game. The Dodge~ won, 3-1, to force a decisive game today. But the Dodgers forced a decisive game today at noon at Mariners Park. Three consecutive walks to Matt Wailer, Christian Hoagland ( 1 for 2 with a single and an RBI) and R.J. D'Cruz (three innings on the mound with five strikeouts, two walks and one bit) to open the ninth set the stage for Danny Moskovits, who hit a ground ball to the Yankees' shortstop. who threw tiome, but too late to tag Waller. who scored the Dodgers' second run. Next up came catcher Brandon Davis, who caught all nine innings. Davis (1 for 3, RBI, four stolen bases) hit a 3-2 pitch right back at Yankees' pitcher Cameron Chase, who got a glove on the ball. but the ball bickled just past him and his only play was to first, allowing Hoagland to score the Dodgers' third and final run. Hoagland came on to pitch the ninth, allowing a leadoff single to Dusty Campbell (2 for 4 with three stolen bases) before retiring the next three Yankee batters on ground-ball outs, ending the pitcher's duel nearly three hours after the first pitch left Yankee starter Jerry Whitney's hand. The Yankees scored a run in the first as Chase, who had been hit by a pitch to lead off the game and stole two bases in the inning, scored on an RBI groundout by Jackson Massingill. ,JATC~f \ith - The Dodgers got their first run In the third, on a sirlgle by Hoagland to plate John Swift, who pitched three innings and struck out nine, including the sjde m the third. He gave up one run. Both teams combined for five hits, all singles. Zack Gagnon singled in the second and stole two bases before being stranded at third.
