Paul Clinton DAILY PILOT I t feels like Christmas for Lt. John Kidwell, a newly appointed U.S. Coast Guard comman- der who has a big present waiting for him under the tree. Come July 11, Kidwell plans to be standing in a Louisiana shipyard waiting to sign for the new cutter he will sail back to Newport Beach, where it -and he - will be stationed. "The ship (will be) fresh out of the wrapper," Kidwell said. A little more than a month after he takes control of the 87- foot boat, valued at $3.5 million, Kidwell and his crew of 10 men will embark on their 35-day trip.

After the dty's planning commfnionen approved a 250,000·square-foot expansion project for the center last week. the devaJopen are but one step away from taking their plans to Newport Beach's voters. All that's left is for NEWPORT City Council mem-IEACH bers to approve the pro)ect. 'That's because Greenlight. the city's new slow-growth law, requires voter approval for projects that exceed the general plan allowance by 40,000 square feet or 100 peak-hour trips or dwelling units. The Koll project, which includes a 10-story office tower and two parking structures, would sit near the comer of Jamboree Road and MacArthur Boulevard. Concern about increased traffic as a result of the expansion had delayed approval by planning commission- ers last week. Council members could take up the matter as early as their June 26 meeting. A special election ls likely to take place in the fall if council members approve the expansion. -MlltNI Wlr** COiien Newport Beach.

Costa Mesa Police arrested a 17- year-old girl last Tuesday night after she allegedly threw Jl bomb into a Jehovah Witnesses hall on Canyon Drive. The bomb blew up outside the church close to the street and no one was hurt, but the girl could get three to seven years in prison or more because she bombed a place of worship. Officials are hesitat-COPS & ing to treat the inci-COUITS dent as a hate crime because they say Qiey are not sure if she intended to tar- lret the church or the neighboring ~j:>artment complex. The girl, whose name was not released because she is a minor, ls being held in juvenile hall and will be tried in juvenile court, officials said. ln Costa Mesa, police also arrest- ed William Hackerd, a 57-year-old Fullerton man who they say stole from the lockers in a 24 Hour Fit- ness gym on Adams Avenue. Police said the gym ~d complained of several locker thefts over the last year. In other news Mike Kelso, a 25- year-old Irvine man, filed a lawsuit against former NBA star Dennis Rodman and Josh Slocum's Restau- rant on West Coast Highway for negligence. Kelso says he was bad- ly injured on St. Patrick's Day when a bouncer at the restaurant hit him in the eye. -Deepe ....... COiien cops and courts.

Shortly after, firefighter Michael Wright's air supply malfunctioned and he frantically pulled the mask from his face. But Wright managed to fix the problem and continued along. Firefighters from different depart- ments need to know what otHers are talk- ing about, he said. A •medical unit,• for example, takes care of fire1igbter's injuries on the job. A •medical group" on the dther hand cares for members of the public hurt in a fire. The quarterly drills help to improve the way firefighters work together, he said. It also forces fire department to fig- ure out what to do in case of a massive fire. Carrying so pounds in clothing and air Oasks, adding another 40 pounds of tools such as axes and fire hoses made the ascent a grueling task. •Some of the guys will do this at work to stay in shape,• said-Olpt Dave Cisar of the Orange County Fire Authority, beads of sweat collecting on his forehead When his team reached the 5th floor, gas masks had to be put on because of smoke in the stairwell.

The Cali- fornia Department of Parks and Recreation and the State Office of Historic Preservation have been very helpful with both interviews and infonnation. As you probably know, the state is in the process or studying the options and developing a vision for what happens to Crystal Cove from this point forward. But what- ever the future may hold, it's been a blast of a past. Crystal Cove is a place where time has stopped. Exactly when it stopped depends on your mind's eye and the calendar of your own life. But 1 think most people -would say sometime in the 1940s. Most of what you see today was built in the '20s and '30s, then expanded, improved and tinkered with over the years. But there's very little of it that taps you on the shoulder and says, •Hi. I'm 1955• or •rm 1969. Peace, dude." To me, the whole place drips 1938 Ford Woodies, can- vas beach chairs and clunky Schwinn bicycles with fat tires and wire baskets on the han- dlebars. Being from the Right Coast. the closest parallel for me is a classic summer camp on a lake in New Hampshire or Maine: small cabins arranged neatly around a main building with a pitched roof and three steps up to the porch. And, of course, a sign with an Indian chief and some impossibly long name, Camp Runamukawowpow. But if there are any volun- teers for hiking about 3,000 miles west, you'll eventually end up in the California equivalent -Crystal Cove. Except here, the Indians were real. California coastal bibes like the Chumash lived in set- tlements in places like today's Crystal Cove and Fairview Park and lived off the sea. Ironically, the first modern day white visitors to Crystal Cove were cameramen, not fishermen. The first structures in the current •Historic Dis- bict" were built by silent film crews from Hollywood in the •teens." Thatched roofs made of fronds from nearby pahn trees turned the picture per- fect beach into everything from Bora Bora to Robinson Crusoe's island. In Newport or Laguna, the locals were stunned to find the likes of Ronald Colman or Pola Negrt or Alla Nazimova strolling by during a break or a day off. The Cove has been . , JOHN BLOESER 'CARPET ONE Shi#,.,,, 2927 S.

At first, they'd pitch a tent or two. But over time, the tents were replaced by a few rustic huts and cabins that might. or might not, be there for your next visit In fact, according to long- time •Crystallite• Laura Davick. the unwritten rule was that anything built bad to have a thatched roof to make it look like one more set piece for the next film.

Anyway, according to Dennis Kelly, professor of martne science at Orange Coast College and one of thP. most respected voices in the field, Crystal Cove is a natural laboratory for marine science unlike almost any other in the world. lt is a favorite birthing area for bottlenose dolphins, and the only known area wbere certain dolphin birthing behaviors have been clearly documented. The full histoty and her- itage of Crystal Cove is a much, much bigger picture th.an we can paint here, but as painting goes, Thursday was a red letter day (what does that mean anyway?) at Crystal Cove.

It was called a "quick paint" because each artist has exact- ly two hours to choose a sub- ject and complete a watercol- or from start to finish. The public was not only welcome but stood right at the artists' sides as they worked. It was a rare oppornm.ity to see the creative process unfold before your eyes and, more importantly, through the eyes of a top-tier artist The artists were very accommo- dating, even with one of those obnoxious video crews hover- ing around them. I tell you, those television peopJe are an annoying lot So there you have it. The smallest taste of Crystal Cove and how it has evolved over the years.

Developers for the Koll Center announced this month that they are ready to take their proposed expansion -250,000 square feet, includ- ing a new 10-story office tower and two parking garages -to Newport Beach's voters this fall as the first Greenlight test in the city. Under Greenlight, the slow- growth law that voters approved last December, devel- opments that add more than 40,000 square feet, 100 peak- , hour ca.r trips or dwelling units over what's allowed in the city's general plan must be approved by residents. During that election, there was endless talk about what the law would mean for Newport Beach. In the simplest terms,' supporters saw it only as restraining runaway develop- ment; opponents painted dire pictures of the city losing b~i nesses and the much-needed taxes they produce. The latter .scenario seemed to play out in March when the owner of Toyota of Orange said he was scuttling plans to build a Lexus dealership in Newport Beach in part because of the obstacles created by Greenllght. The time and money involved were just too much for him to bear. It was a financial loss for the city. But many residents said that businesses such as a car dealership were exactly what they had in mind when they voted for the measure. The Lexus decision, however, was not a true test of Green- light. which will come only with a vote of the people. And the questions surrounding the law are not the broad ones bandied about during last fall's election. They are specific: Will residents honestly and carefully weigh the pros and cons of individual develop- ments, or will Greenlight become a blanket method to stop all major development in Newport Beach? Will the forced elections become money-laden battles for public support, much as the Greenlight election was? Will money rule the day? And perhaps most important- ly of all, what will come after a · project is approved or denied? Everyone in Newpo~Beach should be anxious to learn the answers.

STM MC CRANK I OAl.Y Pit.OT Chipping in when he ·-can Lance Thompson-Hailstone discusses the issues residents of Mesa Del Mar are facing The Mesa Del Mar area has been quite the focus of Costa Mesa City Council decisions lately. At the last meeting, the council amended the home lot sizes to accommodate a project that will replace the El Camino shopping center with homes and opted not to enforce additional parking restric- tions in the Mesa Del tvfar residen- tial tract during street sweeping. On Thursday, Daily Pilot Assistant City Editor James Meier sat down with Lance Thompson- Ha.ilstone, the president of the Mesa Del Mcu. ~Qmeowners Assn., at his home to discuss the issues affecting these residents. Which do you find more satisfy- ing -the home-lot dedsion allow- ing the El Cam.lno project or the street-sweeping dedsionf I would have to say the El Camino shopping center. We've been trying to get spmething done with that project for as long as I've lived here. There are two reasons I became involved with the homeown- ers association. One was traffic on El 'Camino Drive. And the fight to get speed bumps. When I moved in here, the traffic, on average. was around 45 mph in a residential zone here. And there were times, especially if they were doing work at Baker and Fairview, and people knew we were a cut- through, you·could not get out of your driveway on El Camino. I sat, time a.ft.er time, for 45 minutes, and that sounds ridiculous, but people would not let you out. So we and a lot of the neighbors on the street fought long and hard and got these speed bumps in, and then the shopping center began to deteriorate. 1be market there was called Country Cousins, and people came from Los Angeles to buy meat at this place became it WU choice. It WU beautiful. Tb8lr wgetablel were great. And woadlltul prims. John Wayne \lied to axae ~ here and , ' buy biJ stuff. The DUD. lt was a nice shopping center. :fbere was a Mexi- can restaurant there that we went to almost every week. But then they started changing bands. As can happen in real estate when people are buying a shopping center, they're looking for it as a tax loss. They buy it, they're getting rent, but it's a nice little write-off. They don't have to do much, and they didn't. And we would talk to them, and we would invite them to come talk to us. and they would just think, "Who are you people? We don't need to talk to you." But now, the place has deteriorat- ed to the point where El Camino Partners can't, economically, do any- thing more to it. Its just kind of lost its usefulness. Its usefulness has been served, economically and for the neighborhood. And I really think that. by having homes in there, it will not only be an asset to the neighbor- hood and to the city, but to us as homeowners. I think it's going to help our property values and everytbmg. In your optnJon, bow long bas the El camtno shopping center been past Its prtmer A good 10 years, easily. And I continued to shop there for as long as I could because it's convenient. It's nice to have a little marke t that I can walk to, but I can walk to Stater Bros. It's not a problem, but I'm just more comfortable walking down there because it was really nice. But going there at night, I would- n't chance it. I went there one night and there were 20 of the toughest guys I'd ever seen banging a.round l}le parking lot. And I have seen drug deals going down in that park- ing lot. I mean, little envelopes being banded into a car and cash corning out of the car, I don't think they're handing out samples of Cheerios or anything. It's tough. So that's one of the beauties about this, if Jelf Pratt is allowed to proceed, is having a police substation there. That ts -wowl When they told us about that, people were rea.lly excit- ed about that. And I have friends over on the WestsJde, and having that police substation there near Uons Park made a big difference to them. They really noticed a lessening in gang activity and of other prob- temi tbeyre having there. A.op I'm sure it'll do the same thing here. I think Chief Dave Snowden and his crew do a great JOb for this city. I really do. They're always polite. They really work hard. The nearby apartment complexes have wanted the shopping center to remain at the site, while the home- owners association has favored the home project. How's the associa- tion's relationship with the nearb'y apartment complexes these daysf For the owners who live within our tract, like Joan Ting (who owns one apartment complex in Mesa Qel Mar) and some other folks, it's excel- lent. As a matter of fact. Joan tried to create an assooabon of apartment owners down there a number of y~ ago. She'd Jove to see the other places cleaned up because that can only help her too. And I tell you, when she has a vacancy, 1t gets filled almost instantly because her places really look ruce The response she got was Just a big, resounding •no• from all the absentee landlords But all the peo- ple fairly local were all very enthusi- astic about it. So that was really frus- trating for her. So, we really don't have a rela- tionship with those others. Were the park.tng restrictions going to be that much of a hassle for Mesa Del Marl All of us want clean streets. We really do That wasn't the thing we were upset about, at least most of us. Reading the thing that Peter Naghavi (transportation services manager for the oty) put out was they weren't just tallang about two signs per street. I mean. I have two or four signs on El Canuno Drive ngbt now because we get ticketed il we park, and they don't do alternate sweepmg. But lbe big th.tng was closing down the whole tract, utitially. And then. when we went there the other night, they had revtSed it and done alternate sides. And I can live with 41temate side parking. but it was the ticketing thet really got to me. You have to have some enforcement. Othetwise, people are not going to move. Some people couldn't care less. But there are times wbed it's diffi- cult to -get put and move your eat: For example, J.f you're ill or il my daughters are home from college and their CSlJ'S are in the garage and m the driveway, where am I going to put mine? Luckily I have a neighbor who lets me share her dnveway. Or if you have guests, where are they going to go? Or if they had done the whole tracts, where were we going to go? And this tract has notonously small driveways. Fortunately I don't, but in some of these cul-de-sacs, you cannot get a full-siZed car LO. So I thought that was really unfair. I mean, I would Wee to see the street sweeping continue but without the ticketing, if at all possible. Are there any other issues that we should expect to pop lip ln Mesa Del Mar any time SOOD' Yeah, I think the same things that concern the rest of the aty. Counal- woman Linda Dixon made a com- ment that I really support that we really need to be concerned about our water quality, not in the city, but in the oceans as well. I am a tree hugger, I admit it, and that's one of the reasons I want street sweeping to continue. Water quality IS something we all need to be concerned with. lraffic will continue to be a big • issue and, of course, the airport. U they expand John Wayne Airport. that is really going to get to us. We do need an El Toro airport.

RJchardDuM DAILY PILOT W1th his white cowboy hat and racetrack gear featuring GM Good.wrench, you'd never guess that Kelly Collins grew up in Corona del Mar. But Collins, one of six factory drivers for Corvette, is' not only living a childhood dream of racing the world's fastest cars, he's rapidly becoming a star. Not here, pf course, in the )4nd of Land Cruisers and "Beemers, •but across the Atlantic. "There's a lot more superstardom in Europe than the United States,* he said. "Here, you're just another guy at Starbucks.• . Around Newport Beach, Collins stays "low and avoids the radar,* but in his weekend asphalt accelerations in the American Le Mans Series, he's pushing record speed. Collins, 36, will race in what he calls •the biggest race in the world• next weekend in France, "the 24 Hours at Le Mans, in which he recorded a podium finish last year in his debut in a Corvette C5-R by taking third place. A decade ago, Collins made the transition from off-road racing to road racing, and, for the last five years, has raced sports cars. ·1 had the competitive edge, and I knew how to race whatever it was, but the hardest part was that I had to learn how to control race cars on asphalt and slow down my aggressiveness and anxieties,• said Collins, who went from racing Ultimate Buggies in the Nevada desert to Formula One cars. Collins, who has been with his current employer, General Motors, for two years, following a three-year run with Porsche, was Dale Eamhardt's teammate in the racing legend's second-to-last race in February at the R<>lex 24 at Daytona, along with Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Collins' regular Corvette teammate, Andy Pilgrim. The team placed fourth as the late Earnhardt, who died in a NASCAR crash later that month, made what would tum out to be his final podium finish. Collins, who has sprayed champagne with many a pit crew, joined Team Corvette in 1999 at the Petit Le Mans, a race he won in 2000 in the GTS Class as part of a banner year, after winning the Rolex 24 at Daytona and the 24 Hours at Sebring inJhe'GT Class in 1999. ln 1998, Collins scored his first GT Series win in the September Sebring event and finished second in the Watkins Glen 6 Hours the same year, racing for Porsche. Collins emerged on the racing scene in the 1990 Barber Saab Pro Series, then moved on to sedan competition. In 1993, he finished fifth in the Sports Car sedan division points standings with a victory at Road America, followed in 1994 with a sixth-place point ranking with a win at Road Atlanta and a third-place ranking in 1995 with a win at Phoenix. •Most people in the United States, they know about NASCAR and Indy cars and drag racing, but not too much about sports cars,• said Collins, who has also raced for BMW, Toyota and Honda. Collins, who lives in Corona del Mar, grew up riding motorcycles in the dirt, mostly in •drainage ditches• and in Yucca Valley, where his mother lived. •I was jumping bicycles and crashing as a kid,• Collins said. "I still like dirt,* added Collins, who learned over the years that motocross and off-road racing didn't pay as well as road racing. Collins, who graduated from CdM High in 1983, started GAEG FRY I OAlY PlOT Corona del Mar's Kelly Colllns, with his favorite subject. and perhaps (below), bis favorite photo from home wtth the late, and legendary, Dale Earnhardt racing when he was 7, after watching his father, Joe, and his father's friends tackle the desert stretches on two wheels. "They were my idols,• said Collins, who began racing off-road vehicles at age 17. Collins, who is single, had endured his share of bumps and bruises, especially in dirt bike crashes, but said he figures to have another four or five years on the Le Mans circuit, "then you never know, maybe I'll become a 1V personality.• Day Mr. Irrelevant• Week XXVI, Tevtta Ofahengaue, • seen here wtth his four favorite subjects, ls the focal PQlnt of Irrelevant WeekXXVI.

NEWPORT BEACH -Thanks to some quick thinking by Irrelevant Week authorities, a potential disaster for Survival Day, the final day of Irrelevant Week X:XVI's five-day salute to Mr. Irrelevant, Tevita Otahengaue, has been avoided. Because of the site of the event. the Palace Park in Irvine, which will feature wacky golf, bumper boat relays, go-cart races, laser tag, and other virtual reality games, fears that com- petitors would be bringing bumper stickers for the bumper cars, promoting an international airport on the site of the aban- doned Marine Corps Air Station in nearb~ El Toro, sparked rumors of a possible cancellation of the event. The area, which' had been the home of MCAS for some 50 or 60 years, has been deemed unfit for airplaries by local resj- dents since.the facility was shut down, citing various dangers to 'sOc:iety, such as noise and pollution. And, with John Wayne Airport in nearby Newport Beach available, with room to expand to the S<?~~ a~. ~ta An.a Heights, lhe Back Bay and on ~to Newport Bay itself, what possible reason would anyone want to bring Irvine, Lake Fod est, Laguna Hills and other various structures within earshot of noisy airplanes? 1 The rumor of potential bumper stickers being smuggled into the Irvine area by Newport Beach citizens, raised som4f serious questions, il not terror, into some South County parti• sans bent on preserving MCAS as a 7-million acre park. • However, it has been confirmed that no plans are beind made for bumper stickers for the bumper cars, according to a blue-ribbon committe of Irrelevant Week revelers. , •0ur stickers are strictly Irrelevant Week XXVI stickers,~ said a prominent Lldo Isle resident. Meanwhile, the countdown has reached Day 8 for Irrele- vant Week XXVI with Ofahengaue, a 6-foot-3, 255-pound tight end out of Brigham Young University, the focal point. • He was chosen last in the college draft by the Arizona Car• dinals and has been working out in training camp the past week. He's due to arrive in Newport Beach June 18 and will be wined anc\ <lined that evening at the Arrival Party, celebrated at the Newport Dunes, starting at 5:30 p.m .

Tony Altobefll DAILY Plwr IRVINE-In a g_a.me saturated with N~rt-Mesa high school baseball standouts, the Pacific Coast League AD-Stars edged the Sea View League AD-Stars, 6-4, at Saturday's fifth annu- al South County Showcase, held at Windrow Park. With 12 PCL standouts from Coro- na del Mar, Costa Mesa and Estancia high schools as well as four Newport Harbor standouts on Sea View's side of the field, there were plenty of heroes on both sides of the field. It was the Sea Kings who got the PCL's offense going early. ln the top of the first inning, Dave Knecht led off with a double to right-center and Wes Hockinson followed by taking a slow curv~ ball off the side of bis helmet, puttihg runners on first and second with nobody out. After University's Jay ~ichols moved the runners up with a grounder, CdM's Eric Snell drove a triple in to the right-center. field gap, scoring bis CdM teammates. Another Sea King, Andrew Johns, brought in Snell with a sacrifice fly to center and the PCL led, 3-0. •The CdM kids had prom to go to, so we stuffed all of them in the begin- ning of the game,· CdM Coach John Emme said of his coaching strategy. After a shaky first inning, Newport Harbor's Joel Brown worked a 1-2-3 second inning and was relieved by Sailor teammate Chris Ward, who pitched two scoreless innings with three strikeouts. The Sea View League cut the lead to 3-2 in the third inning. After Irvine's Chad Hazlett singled to right, New- port's Alan Lane fQllowed up with a single of bis owrf. TWo batters later, "fravis Otott of Irvine ripped a double to score two runs. It was a matter of missed opportu- nities for the Sea View League, which left 14 runners on base in the nine· inning contest. The game remained 3-2 before the Sea View League tied the score in the seventh. Laguna Hills standout Brian Anderson reached on a fielder's choice, advanced two bases on a wild pitch and scored on a passed ball. That momentum was short-lived, however as the PCL answered right back in the top of the eighth. Costa Mesa's Daniel Hunter (1 for 2) reached base on an infield single and advanced to third on a double by Estanda's Armando Ortiz.

Six-year-old Jacob Knapp was minding his own busi- ness at shortstop during a recent Costa Mesa American Uttle League Machine Pitch Division game wben a line drive came screaming toward him. The bases were loaded and there were no outs. Not even rattled by the situation, Knapp snagged the line shot, tagged out the runner heading to third and alertly ran over and stepped on third base for an unassisted µiple play. •The really cool thing about all ol it was that be knew what he was doing,• Jacob's mother, Jennifer, said. •After he stepped on the bag, he rolled the ball back to the pitcher's mound and jogged Qff the field as cool as can be.· Just how rare is an unassisted triple play? In the history organized Major League Baseball, there have been only 12 unassisted triple plays, the most recent coming May 29, 2000 by Randy Velarde of the Oakland A's against the New York Yankees. -by Tony Altobelli Looking back on Red Sox turnaround NEWPORT BEACH -'ralk about a YOUTH llSEIALL twnaround.

SPORI'S Dodgers rule, 10-3 • NHBA Mustang I division team in charge from start to finish. Stew Vlr9'ft DAILY PILoT NEWPORT BEACH -The team concept was on full dis- play in the Newport Harbor Baseball Association's Mus- tang (ages 9-10) Division title game between the Dodgers and the Mariners at Kaiser Elementary Saturday. The Dodgers (18-3) used a combined effort that led them to a 10-3 victory for the cham- pionship. The Mariners (16-7), how- ever, would not have reached the title game without team- work. After finishing fourth during the regular season, they earned a shot at the championship by taking the long route in the playoffs, overcoming two losses with five wins. Meanwhile, the Dodgers remained in first from start to finish. They were always the team to beat. After the championshj.p victory, Dodgers Manager Mike Griffin distrlbuted tro- phies to his players and hand- ed out the game ball. He told his team: •This game ball goes to the team because this was a team effort.• The Dodgers scored five runs in the bottom of the first inning. The five runs is the maximum allowed in the Mustang division and the Dodgers gave up their at-bat with only one out. Garrett McRoberts started things off with a huge triple and would score after an error, for the Dodgers' first run. Daniel Norris, Jeff Frum, Brendan Cluck and VictoT Done also scored as Done laid a sweet bunt to get on base, earning an RBI. Prt ...... PllYllS The Mariners held the Dodgers in check until the fifth inning when the Dodgers reached the maxi- m\Jm five runs again. This time, Frum stepped up with a bases-clearing dou- ble, whiCh scored Norris, McRoberts and David Panas. Peter Thomsen also scored in that inning and Chris Griffin's RBI scored Frum. The Mariners scored oae run in the second inning and two more in the fifth. Short- stop Adrian Rodriguez, who led off with a single, scored Macky Gaulschi's RBI. Then, in the fifth, Garrett Morgan used some savvy base-run- ning after an error in the out- field and rounded the bases after his fly ball. Keegan Ju.kosky also scored. He sin- gled, stole two bases and Zachary Cbocek's RBI single brought him in. Chris Griffin pitched the first three innings for the Dodgers, allowing just two hits as he struck out four.

Stew Virgen DAILY PllDT NEWPORT BEACH -Tbe Newport Beach Uttle League's Dodgers broke away from a 2-2 tie to claim a 13-4 victory over the Red Sox in the AA Division champi- onship game at Lincoln Ele- mentary Saturday. In the top of the third inning, the Dodgers' David Weiland broke the tie when he smashed a two-run triple. An error allowed him to cross the plate after he brought in Nick Flam.son and Francesco lmpagliazzo. Welland's huge bit seemed to enliven his teammates as they used the momentum to score three runs in the fifth and five more in the sixth. •They just hit great today,• Manager George Lo9an said of his Dodgers. •Their atti- tude has been great all sea- son. Whenever there was a pressure situation, they always came through." Pitcher Kyle Danese, who is better known as "Iceman· because Logan says he's so cool under pressure, relieved the Dodgers of a pressure sit- uation in the fifth inning. He struck out a Red Sox batter with two outs and the bases loaded. Manager Bart Thomsen 's Red Sox scored one run in the inning when Parker Werline thumped an RBI single to bring in Joshua Harrison. The Red Sox (11-2-3) took a 1-0 lead after the first inning. Will Morrow led off with a double and scored after Werline earned his first RBI. The Dodgers (18-6), how- ever, answered with two runs in the second. Danese and Chris Burke scored as Burke Pi'l111etl111e PLIYERS -:-=-= ...... ~~ ~(£.
