COSTA MESA -The Coast Com-
munity College District may ask vot-
ers for about $344 million in Novem-
ber.
Over four days in early March, the
district surveyed about 700 likely vot-
ers about their feelings toward a
$344-million bond, Cohn said.
"We don't know how that would
play, politically speaking,• Cohn said.
·we don't know if that would help or
hurt us. It's a crapshoot right now.•
While the district would receive
about $1 million of the statewide
bond, it would not be enough for the
comprehensive undertaking it is con-
templating.
Bonds have a higher chance of
passing since the approval threshold
was dropped to 55%, said Reed Roy-

NEWPORT-MESA -Area leaden; of J~~h and Muslim congregations are
divided over assigning blame in the cur-
rent Mideast fighting, but they say they
share the same sadness over the lives
lost there during the past week.
·Whoever we are -whether it be
Muslim, Christian, Jewish -I remind
our congregation to focus on the issue,•
said Sadullah Khan, imam of the Islamic
Center of Irvine. •How just and fair are
we? What do we believe the god of
humaruty would be pleased with7•
The United Nations should send an
international peacekeeping force to the
region to try to negotiate a settlement
with the cooperation of both sides, Khan
recommended.
Rabbi Mark S. Miller of Temple Bat
Yahln in Newport Beach, on the other
hand, said Israel's use of force in retaliat-
ing ls justified.
Miller contends that
the violence will abate
only when the Palestini-
ans cease the suicide
bombings.
Rabbi Mark "It is only when the
S. Miller Palestinians stop calling
murderers martyrs and
r~e that they cannot destroy Israel in
this way or wear Israel down that the
lines of commurucation will then be

order that there be not peace, but an end

Khan said be has focused on the
importance of social justice as a way of
achieving peace.
*Israel responds as would any gov-
ernment whose first obligation ls to pro-
tect its citizens,• Miller said. "Israel
responds as America is responding to a
terrorist attack on its soil by invading a
country and hitting the enemy in a very
punishing manner.~
Miller equated the situation to the
decades-long conflict in Northern Ire-
land over English rule of the area and
emphasized that there has to be a cool-
ing-off penod that lasts for a significant
amount of tune to create trust between
the two sides.

There are
two sides to
two theories
Andrew Lawson
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
N ow that we have all read the ad
horrunem arguments (e.g.
marked by an attack on an
opponent's character rather than by an
ariswer to the contentions made) and
straw man arguments (e.g. an imagi-
nary oppos1bon set up only to be easily
confuted), let's locus on the argument
(Readers Respond, March 5).
First let's define the terms:
l . lnteLUgent design theorist: Some-
one who believes that the empirical,
scientific evidence shows that there is
design to life and to the uruverse;
therefore, there 1s t1 designer. They
infer from the evidence that the design
we see in We and m the universe came
from a designer.
2. Neo-Darwuuan theonst: Someone
who believes that the empuical, scien-
tific evidence shows that there is no
design to hfe and to the universe;
therefore, there ts no designer. They
infer from the evidence that the
"apparent" design we see in life and in
the universe came from natural selec-
tion and random mutabon.
3. Soence: (a) The methodological
defirution -science as an experimen-
tal process that allows you to gain
knowledge about the physical world.
(b) The phtlosophkal definition -
every solubon to every scienWic prob-
lem must conform to philosophic natu-
ralism (a theory denying that an event
or object has a supernatural signifi-
cance; specifically, the doctrine that
natural laws are adequate to account
for all phenomena).
Now, let's look at the argument: The
argument hinges on the two definitions
of science. Intelligent design and neo-
Darwinian theonsts both agree on the
methodolog1cal definition: an experi-
mentdl process that allows us to gain
knowledge about the physical wodd.
The rub comes from the philosophi-
cal dehrutJon. Tius definition is philoso-
phy, not science. It involves looking at
the facts and then making an inference
from these facts based on a predeter-
mined phtlosophy such as naturalism.
For example: The facts show that, at
the biochemical level, the cell is incred-
ibly mtncate.
The mtelligent design theorists make
the inference that this spectacular com-
plexity comes from a designer, whereas
the neo-Darwinian theorists make the
inference that this spectacular complex-
ity does not come from a designer. The
rub comes because neo-Darwinian the·
orists iruist that the only inference
allowable is thel.J"S (i.e. the facts can
only infer a conclusion that fits with
naturalism). Even when the facts logi-
cally support a designer, neo-Darwinian
theorists insist that such a logical con-
clusion is not allowable because it does
not fit within their philosophical defini·
tion of soence (i.e. all conclusions must
be within the philosophy of naturalism).
The argument is simply that the
intelligent design theorists (Gallup
polls show that more than 80% of the
population believe in a designer) want •
the textbooks to teach our children the
facts and either let them make their
own inferences or delineate both posi-
tions in the text (Gallup polls show that
69% of population favor this option). As
it is now, the textbook teaches the facts
and very emphatically states that there
is only one inference or interpretation
that can be drawn from the facts.
Por example, a committee of ne<r
Darwinian theorists defines science as
•the human activity of seeking natural
~xplanations for what we observe in
the world around us,• whereas intelli-
gent design theorists ask us to consider
defining science as "the human activity
of seeking logical explanations for
what we observe in the wodd around
u. • In short, the intelligent design the·
onsts want only for the public school
textbooks to teach tolerance of the oth·
er logJcal inference ba9ed on th facts.
'The intelligent design theorists, like
their nelghbOn the neo·Oarwinlan the.-
on.ts, realize that ii tho neo-Oarwinian

Newport Harbor students push for senior project
I n 1999, the Newport-Mesa Unified
School District mandated that all
seniors complete a senior project in
order to graduate. The idea for the project
-composed of an essay, oral presentation
and portfolio -was originally created by
an educational company, FarWest EDGE.
Corona del Mar, Estancia and Costa Mesa
high schools quickly adopted the new
requirement into their senior English
classes, joining hundreds of schools across
the nation that have followed suit accord-
ing to district orders.
Kellie Brownell
and the district what the students feel is
necessary in creatmg a meaningful project.
Although perhaps contrary to our
stereotype, the members of the club are
not against the extra work that will natu-
rally accompany the senior project. In fact,
the majority of us look forward to the
opportunity to research an area of mterest
ma college thesis format.
Newport Harbor High School, however,
sat on the project and is now scrambling
to find a way to integrate this requirement
for the graduating class of 2003.
Earlier this year, the social studies
department proposed a solution -the
Graduation Development Program -
intended to make the senior project the
culmination of four years of personal
exploration and development.
• A committee of juniors was organized
by the program designerswith the philos-
ophy that the best way to do the senior
project right for our student body was to
have students contribute to its develop-
ment. Unfortunately, the program was vot-
ed down by the rest of the faculty, leavmg
the senior project to wallow some more in
the administration's office before bemg
tossed to the English teachers.
We feel strongly that our expenences
as students at Newport Harbor High could
greatly contribute lo making the senior
project beneficial for all levels of the acad-
emic spectrwn. Although decisions of this
sort are typically solidified without the
,input of students, we hope that acconuno-
dabons will be made to a highly con·
cemed group of juniors who are ta.king
action before the adnunistration even has
answers to our questions.
We are going to have our share of grad·
uabon requirements m the upcorrung year,
and now is the opporturuty to transform
one of them into a mearungf ul expenence
that will influence students' lives even
after they leave high school.
From freshman year, students would be
assorted into classes of 25 students each and
would be under the guidance of one of the
school's many teach~. The program was
designed not only to alleviate the burden of
the senior project from one department. but
also to give the project a deeper meaning
and relevance to the students' lives.
However, many of the students who
were on the onginal Graduation Develop-
ment Program committee are not wilbng
to give up thetr voice tn the development
of the senior project.

and prejudice against skateboard·
ing, youth and an~g that is
considered outside of the norm.
The fact is skateboarding has
been part of the norm for 20-
plus years now. There are just a
lot of people who are not paying
attention to what is going on in
the world around them, and it is
pretty scary that these people
may be the same ones running
our cities. Someone please step
up and prove me wrong.
I guess I Should start by saying
shame on Costa Mesa for telling
their kids they were going to
build them a skate park, spend
money on architects to design it
and then vote it out when a new
City Council started without even
directing the reaeation depart-
ment to continue the search for a
better site. If they really had
respect for their kids, officially
continuing the search would be
the least they could have done.
I'll be the first to agree the site

lor b"yiDg to bide their skate park
rather then embrace it.
1be IOlutioll of a mobile skate
park did HttJe to solve the problem
and notb1ng to rebuild the kids'
confidence and tJ'wt in their dty.
Next, I say shame on Newport
Beach for cboostng to enhance
their reprimands rather than
search for a solution. Do these
approadles belp our kids to build
respect for our government offi-
dala, police or our political
proceai I doo't think so. All I

it and pretend that it will go away.
When they constantly tell lads
they are criminals for having fun
and that they are not allowedtto
do whanhey love, yet they offer
no solutions, then how could we
expect the kids not to be defiant?
It was especially interesting to
me because Ridgeway's son was
on a soccer team with my son last
year. I was the assistant coach. It
is pretty ironic that the team was
named after a skateboard brand.
and nearly every single kid on the
team proudly road a skateboard.
except maybe bis son. I never had
one kid on that team ask me for
an extra day of piactice, or if we
could get together and kick the
ball around on a Sunday. but I did
have many kids on that team
come to my factory to see how
skateboards were made.
Several times, my son and I
went skateboarding together
with the other coac.b and lus son
and other kids on the team. One
kid on the team even had a buth-
day party at Palace Park skate
park in Irvine. The real pomt I
am trying to make is that politi-
d.am need to face the Teality of
what kids are really doing and
not pretend that it will disappear
if they look the other way, or that
they can lgnore it just because
their child does not participate.
Most kids, including mine,
play soccer, baseball, basketball
and other team sports at practice
and during their games, but very
rarely in between. r don't know
too many kids \\tho play bueball
every day after baseball season
ls over. What numy of them do
every day is ride therr skate-
board. That is a fact. 1t is not a
5euooa1 or team sport. It is just
an addicttve, enjoyable activity. I

I've heard Costa Mesa say
they'd do something if Newport
did and vice versa, but we are
not talking about building a haz.

U the problem was a shortage of

Tournament.
Six Matador pitching changes,
~ which included five pitchers and
' enough defensive shifts to Inundate
the most Oex1ble scorecard, failed to
produce just about anyone who
SCOlllOAID could find the plate. Arid when
Bolsa hurlers did intersect the strike :::::' 'i zone, there were consequences.
Senior center fielder Michael
M cGuire launched a grand slam,
bis first home run of the season, to highlight a seven-
run sixth lnrung.
Earlier. senior catcher Mike Carrasco connected for
a two-run homer, while .eruor Nick Cablco and junior
Nathan Hunter each drove ln two runs with a single
swing.
McGuire was 2 for .C with bve RBis, one courtesy
of a pitch between his shoulder blades, wblle Hunter
had four RBis. including one via wallt and one after
being hit by a pitch.
Mustangs Daniel Cooper. Niall Huffman and Brad

Though Eagle was mobbed
by his teammates afterward,
there were plenty of heroes for
the hosts, not the least of which
was the diminutive Thayer, who
pitched in with his glove and
his bat.
After the Sea Kings (6-7) had
taken their first lead, 7-6, in the
fifth, a. dropped fly ball put the
potential go-ahead run at second
base with one out for Mission
Viejo in the sixth.
While Bradbury shut down
the Diablos' offense, CdM kept
chipping away, adding incre-
mentally to a 14-hit attack
divided among seven players.
Presson went 3 for 3 with a

Long was 3 for 3 with a sacrifice.
Nike Karpe, MackJin (two RBis)

Over four days in early March, the

$344-million bond, Cohn said. While the district would receive
about $1 million of the statewide
bond, it would not be enough for the
comprehensive undertaking it is con-
templating.
Bonds have a higher chdnce of

was dropped to 55%, said Reed Roy-

South Africa in 1993, succumbs to battle with cancer.

For the last nine years of his
We, former Newport Beach resi-
dent Peter Biehl spent his time
helping the downtrodden in the
cowitry where his daughter was
slain.
Amy Bielil, a Newport Harbor
High School graduate, was
killed in 1993 by a mob of angry
black youths in South Afri.ca.
She was 26.
Her father, Peter Biehl. died
Sunday of a complication result-
ing from colon surgery, said his
wife, Lloda. He was 59.
Linda Biehl said she would
always remember her husband
as a •confident person, a great
speaker and a caring gentle-
man.•
"He never really liked the
spotlight," she said. ·But the
b.mes he was under the spotlight,
he was really good at it."
Smee Amy's notorious death,
the couple had traveled all over
the world spreading their daugh·
ler's legacy.
Amy, a Fulbright scholar and
Stanford University student, was
helping people to register to vote
in the rac:ially tom country when
she was stoned and stabbed to
death.
Her death earned nationwide
and worldwide headlines. She
was just days from coming home
from South Alnca.
The greatn0S$ of Peter and
Linda Biehl was in their ability to
forgive even those who brutally
murdered their daughte r, said
Ski Harrison, a friend of the fam-
ily who helped the couple start
the Amy Biehl Foundabon
·Peter was one of the most
caring and sensitive people I've
ever known,• said Hamson. who
first met the Biehls when they
moved to Newport Beach m
1985.

DAILY PILOT
NEWPORT-MESA -Area leaders of
Je~h and Muslim congregations are
dlvtded over assigning blame in the cur-
rent Mideast fighting, but they say they
share the same sadness over the lives
lost there during the past week.
"Whoever we are -whether it be
Muslim, Christian, Jewish -I remind
our congregation to focus on the issue,•
said Sadullah Khan, imam of the Islamic
Center of l.rvule. "How just and fair are
we? What do we believe the god of
hwnaruty would be pleased with?"
The Umled Nations should send an
international peacekeeping force to the
region to try to negotiate a settlement
with the cooperation of both sides, Khan
recommended.
Rabbi Mark S. Miller of Temple Bat
Yahm in Newport Beach, on the other
hand, said Israel's use of force in retal.tat-
ing is justified.
Miller contends that
the violence will abate
only when the Palestini-
ans cease the suicide
bombings.
Rabbi Mark "It is only when the
S. Miller Palestinians stop calling
murderers martyrs and
realize that they cannot destroy Israel m
this way or wear Israel down that the
lines of communication will then be
open,• Millet said. •And Israel, as it has
always been, will discu!s the very diffi-
cult issues that must be addressed m
order that there be not peace, but an end
to war and a lack of terror.•
Khan said he has focused on the
unportance of social justice as a way of
achieving peace.
•1srael responds as would any gov-
ernment whose first obligation is to pro-
tect its citizens,• Miller said. •Israel
responds as America is responding to a
terrorist attack on its soil by invading a
country and hitting the enemy in a very
punishing manner.•
Miller equated the situation to the
decades-long conflict in Northern Ire-
land over English rule of the area and
emphasized that there has to be a cool·
ing-off period that lasts for a significant
amount of time to create trust between
the two sides.
"Just asking for peace in a vacuum is
not practical in the absence of the frame-
work of justice,· Khan said.
Miller also argues that the flash points
of the war -especially the West Banlc -
are not •occupied• territories, but ·dis-

There are
two sides to
two theories
Andrew Lawson
LITTER TO THE EDITOR
N ow thdt we hdve all read the ad
horrunem arguments (e.g. #
marked by an attack on an
opponent's character rather than by an
answer to Lhe contentions made) and
straw man ~~guments (e.g. an imagi-
nary opposition set up only to be easily
confuted), let's locus on the argument
(Readers Respond, March 5).
First let's define the terms:
1. lnteUigent design theorist: Some-
one who believes thdt the empirical,
scientific eVldence shows that there is
design to liJe and to the universe;
therefore, then• 1s d designer. They
infer from the evidence that the design
we see m llie dnd m the uruverse came
from a designer
2. Neo-DarwU1lan theonst: Someone
who believes that the emp111cal, saen-
filic eVldence shows that there 1s no
design to We dnd to the uruverse;
therefore. there 1s no designer. They
mfer from the eVldence that the
"apparent" design we see in life and in
the universe came from natural selec-
tion and random mutabon
3. Sc1ence: (d) The methodological
definition -soence d!. dn expenmen-
tal process thdt allows you to gam
knowledge about the physical world.
(b) The phLlosoplucctl detirution -
every solullon to every scientific prob-
lem must conform lo philosophic natu-
rahsm (a theory denying that an event
or object has a supernatural signifi-
cance; spec1hcally, the doctrine that
natural laws dre adequate to account
for all phenompna)
Now, let's look dl the argument. The
argwnent hlngec; on the two definitions
of saence lntell.tgent design and neo-
Darwiruan theonsts both agree on the
methodological dehmbon an e xpen-
mental proceso; that dllows us to gam
knowledge dbout the physical world.
The rub comes from the philosophi-
cal defuullon. nus d ehnibon is philoso-
phy, not science It mvolves looking at
the facts and then making an inference
from these facts based on a predeter-
rruned philosophy such as naturalism.
For example: The facts show that. at
the b1ochenucal level, the cell is incred-
ibly mtricate.
The intelhgent\iesign theorists make
the inference that this spectacular com-
plexity comes from a designer, whereas
the neo-Darwinian theorists make the
inference that this spectacular complex-
ity does not come from a designer. The
rub comes because neo-Darwi.n.ian the·
onsts msist that the orLly inference
allowable IS theus (i.e. the facts can
orLly infer a conclusion that fits with
naturalism). Even when the facts logi-
cally support a designer, neo-Darwinian
theonsts U\S1St that such a logical con-
clusion is not allowable because it does
not fit wilhln their philosoptucal defini-
tion of soence (1.e. all conclusions must
be within the philosophy of naturalism).
The argument is simply that the
intelligent design theorists (Gallup
polls show that more than 80% of the
,population believe in a designer) want
the textbooks to teach our children the
facts and either let them make their
own inferences or delineate both posi-
tions in the text (Gallup polls show that
69% of population favor this option). As
lt is now, the textbook teaches the facts
and very emphatlcally states that there
is only one inference or interpretation
that can be drawn from the facts.
For example, a committee ot neo-
Darwin.ian theorlslil defines science as
•the human activity of seeking natural
~lanabons for what we observe in
the woTld around us,• whereas intelli-
gent design theorists ask us to consider
definin~ sacnce as •the human activity
of seeking logical explanations for
what we observe ln the world around
us " In sh ort, the intelligent design the-
onsts want only for the public school
textbooks to teach tolerant"9 of the olb·
er logical lnl n ~ on lb facts.
The lnteWgent design theorists, like tb~t.r neighborl th neo-Darwin1an the·
oriJU, realize that if the neo.Darwinian
theory II true, then the phllOIOphy of
naturalilm that we iniilt ti the only
inlerence to be taught to our c:hildteO
tn.akM for 10tne very somber condu·
sions: We have all come from nothing,

Neuport Harbor students push for senior project
I n 1999, the Newport-Mesa Urufied
School District mandated that all
seniors complete a senior project in
order to graduate. The idea for the project
-composed of an essay, oral presentation
and portfolio -was originally created by
an educational company, FarWest EDGE.
Corona del Mar, Estancia and Costa Mesa
high sch ools qulckJy adopted the new
requirement into their senior English
classes, joining hundreds of schools across
the nation that have followed suit accord-
ing to district orders.

and the distnct what the students feel lS
necessary m creatmg a meaningful project.
Although perhaps contrary to our
stereotype, the members of the club are
not against the extra work that will natu-
rally accompany the seruor project. ln fact,
the majonty of us look forward to the
opportunity to research an area of interest
in a college thesis format.
Newport Harbor High School, however,
sat on the project and is now scrambling
to find a way to integrate this requirement
for the graduating class of 2003.
Earlier this year, the social studies
department proposed a solution -the
Graduation Development Program -
intended to make the senior project the
culmination of four years of personal
exploration and development.
• A committee of juniors was organized
by the program designers with the philos-
ophy that the best way to do the senior
project right for our student body was to
have students contribute to its develop-
ment. Unfortunately, the program was vot-
ed down by the rest of the faculty, leaving
the senior project to wallow some more m
the administration's office before being
tossed to the English teachers.
We feel strongly that our experiences
as students at Newport Harbor High could
greatly contribute to making the senior
project beneficial for all levels of the acad·
emic spectrum. Although decisions of tlus
sort are typically solidified without the
rnput o.f students, we hope that accommo·
dations will be made to a highly con -
cerned group of juniors who are takmg
action before the admirustrabon even has
answers to our questions.
We are going to have our share of grad-
uabon requirements in the upconung year.
and now is the opporturuty to transform
one of them mto a mearungf ul expenence
that will influence students' l.tves even
after they leave high school.
From freshman year, students would be
assorted into classes of 25 students each and
would be under the guidance of one of the
school's many teachers. The program was
designed not orLly to alleviate the burden of
the senior project from one department. but
also to give the project a deeper meaning
and relevance to the students' lives.
However, many of the student!> who
were on the origmal Graduation Develop-
ment Program committee are not wtlh.ng
to give up their voice in the development
of the senior project.

Costa Mesa, Newport Inust solve skate park issue
I t is hard to know where to
begin on this skate park issue.
There is so much bypocnsy,
misinfonnation. fear, ignorance
and prejudice agamst skateboard-
ing, youth and anything that is
considered outside o( the norm.
The fact is skateboarding has
been part of the norm for 20-
plus years now. There are just a
lot of people who are not paying
attention to what IS going on in
the world around them, and lt is
pretty scary that these people
may be the same ones running
our cities. Someone please step
up and prove me wrong.
I guess 1 should start by saying
shame on Costa Mesa for telling
their kids they were going to
build the.1n a skate park, spend
money on architects to design it
and then vote it out when a new
City Council started without even
directing the recreation depart-
ment to continue the search for a
better site. U they really had
respect for their kids, officially
continuing the search would be
the least they could have done.
I'll be the first to agree the site
originally chosen was not the,
best. but that was their own fault
for trying to bide their skate park
rather than embrace it.
The 90lutlon of a mobile skate
park did little to solve the problem
and nothing to rebuild the kids'
confidence and trust in their city.
Next, I say shame on Newport
Beach for choosing to enhance
their reprimands rather than
search for a solution. Do these
approaches help our kids to build
respect for our govenunent offi-
ci.alJ, polioe or our politlcal
process'l l don't think so. All I
know la my 10-year--old gets pret-
ty angiy and confused es to why
our cities won't do anything
while we go to so many other
du. that do How do you tell a

COMMUNITY COMMENTARY
choosing to attempt to extingwsh
it and pretend that it will go awdy.
When they constantly tell kids
they are criminals for havrng fun
and that they are not allowed to
do what they love, yet they offer
no solutions, then how could we
expect the kids not to be debant?
U was especially interesting to
me because Ridgeway's.son was
on a soccer team with my son last
year. I was the assistant coach. It
is pretty ironic that the team was
named after a skateboard brand,
and nearly every single kid on the
team proudly road a skateboard,
except maybe his son. 1 never had
one kid on that team ask me for
an extra day of practice, or if we
could get together and kiclc the
ball around on a Slllld.ay, but I did
have many kids on that team
come to my factory to see bow
skateboards were made.
Several times, my son and I
went skateboarding together
with the other coach and his son
and other kids on the team. One
kid on the team even bad a birth-
day party at Palace Park skate
park in Irvine. The real point l
am trying to make is that politi-
cians need to face the reality of
what kids are really doing and
not pretend that it will disappear
If they look the other way, or that
they can ignore it just because
their child does not participate.
Most kids, including mine,
play soccer, baseball, basketball
and other team sports a t practice
and during their games, but very
rarely in between. I don't know
too many kids who play baseball
every day after buebell season
is aver. Whal many of them do

board. 1bat ii a fart It is not a

I've heard Costa Mesa say
they'd do something if Newport
d.ld and vice versa. but we are
not talking about buildinCJ a haz-
ardous waste disposal site here.
If lhe problem was a shortage of
basketball courts. it wouldn't be
a standoff to see who'd move
first; it would be a question of
bow many and where.
I wish the dty offici.als of both
cities would stop sitting on their
hands, realize they are extreme·
ty be.bind the times and realize
th.at they need to embrace the
fun and creativity that skat:e-
boa.rding provides and reach out

victory over Bolsa Grande in a consolation quarterfi-

Tournament.
Six Matador pitching changes,
'i which included five pitchers and
enough defensive shifts to inundate
the most flexible scorecard, failed to
produce JUSt about anyone who
SCOlllOAID cquld find the plate. ADd when
Bolsa hurlers did intersect the strike ==:-1~ zone, there were consequences.
Senior center fielder Michael
McGuire launched a grand slam,
tus first home run of the season, to highlight a seven-
run sixth inning.
Earlier, senior catcher Mike carrasco connected for
a two-run homer, while senior Nlck Cabico and junior
Nathan Hunter each drove in two runs with a single
swing.
McGuire was 2 for 4 with five RBis, one Courtesy

CONTINUED FROM 7
Kings' fourth straight victory
with an RBI d o9ble to right·
center field, plating sophomore
Jeritt Thayer, who accepted the
first of consecutive walks to open
the inning.
Though Eagle was mobbed
by his teammates afterward,
there were plenty of heroes for
the hosts, not the least of which
was the diminutive Thayer, who
pitched in with his glove and
his bat.
Thayer, part of a bottom third
of the order that produced four
hits, five RBis and also scored
three times, made game-saving
defensive plays in the first and
sixth inning.5.
• Jeritt can flat-out glove it,•
said CdM Coach John Emme,
who has lo ng heralded the
defensive ability of his nimble
second baseman.
Thayer's first big defensive
play came wftb runners at
second and tb.ifd with two outs
m the first. Breaking to second
on a pickoff play, Thayer went to
one knee and somehow swatted
down an errant one-hop throw
from the mound. Thayer then
recorded the third o ut by
swallowing up a ground ball to
second and the Sea Kings
dodged the first of several
bullets.
After the Sea Kings (6· 7) had
ta.ken their first lead, 7 -6, in the
fifth, a. dropped fly ball put the
potential go-ahead run at second
base with one out for Mission
Viejo in the sixth.
Mission's Taylor Holiday
grounded a past the pitcher that
appeared headed toward center
field, when Thayer dived to his
right to backhand the ball
behind the bag. Already having
saved the run at that point,
Thayer sprang to his knees and
threw to first in time to nail
Holiday for the second out.
Kyle Mura followed with on
RBI single to knot the score, but
sophomore Josh Bradbury
worked out of the jam and
retired seven of the final eight be
faced to pick up his first varsity
victory.
The two-base error led to the
only run (unearned) Mission
posted off Bradbury, who
surrendered just three hits in
five relief innings.
·Josh had struggled on the
mound earlier this year, but he
was awesome today,• Emme
said.
While Bradbury shut down
the Diablos' offense, CdM kept
chipping away, adding m cre·
mentally to a 14-hlt attack
divided among seven players.
·w e bad a lot of clutch hits,•
Emme said. ·And we had a lot
of two-out hits to drive in runs.•
A Todd Macklin single and a
fielder's choice grounder by
Ryan Rhodes plated the first two
CdM runs, drawing the hosts lo
within 3-2 after two innings.
After Mission Viejo scored
three earned runs in the third
lo match the three unearne d
runs it posted in the second,
junior shortstop Keith Long led
off a fourth-inning CdM rally
with a singfe.
Long stole second and, after
a Oyout and a walk, scored on an
Freshman
RBI double by Rhodes. Thayer's
groundout plated the second run
of the uming and freshman right
fielder Wess Presson lashed his
thud hit to score Rhodes and
make 1t 6-5.
Fredrick Svanberg paced the
Pirates ( 18-2, l 0-1 in conference)
with a 4-over-par 75, which was
fourth among individuals at the
four-school confe rence clash
(only the outcome against IVC
counts for each visiting school) With two outs in the CdM
fifth. Long, Blake Contant,
Macklin and Rhodes sprayed
consecutive singles, the latter
two for RBis, to put the hosts up,
7-6.
TODAY'S KID ..
WllMl Presson went 3 for 3 with a
walk and a hit by pitch, while
Long was 3 for 3 with a sacrifi<:e.
Nike Karpe, Macklin (two RBis)
and Rhodes (three RBis) added
two hits apiece for the winneIS.
