Second suspect from manhunt caught
The second suspect from last weekâ??s manhunt near La Plata has been arrested. George Heller Jr., 29 of Kirksville, is believed to be the second person who fled the scene of a traffic stop early Tuesday morning.
Heller is on 24-hour hold pending the filing of formal charges for last week's incident.
Heller also has four outstanding warrants from the City of Kirksville.
Meanwhile, another felony charge has been filed against Jeffrey Sharp, 31, of La Plata. Sharp was captured during the manhunt last week. He is now facing a frlony charge of resisting arrest.
The manhunt began after Sharp and Heller allegedly ran from a traffic stop.
Officers from the Adair and Macon County Sheriff's offices, along with several other agencies, were involved in the search. Sharp was taken into custody near Santa Fe Lake just east of La Plata.
Sharp had a pending felony charge of receiving stolen property at the time of the traffic stop. Sharp remains in custody on $50,000 cash only bond.
After the two fled, deputies discovered items known to be used in the manufacture of methamphetamine in the abandoned vehicle.

do nova driveshafts fit corsas? i.e if i were to get nova gte shafts to use in my 2.0 16v conversion? going into an f16 box, cheers, Wainey!
do nova driveshafts fit corsas? i.e if i were to get nova gte shafts to use in my 2.0 16v conversion? going into an f16 box, cheers, Wainey!
Should be a straight swap.
thought they might of been but wasnt 100% sure, my mate converted a corsa to a 16 turbo with a nova gte engine prepared by courtney and he used the shafts from the nova, just wondering whether it was ok! cheers mate!
corsas have a wider track so nova shafts wont fit
yup, custom made shafts are the way to go
i do remember Notnormal saying astra shafts would go, maybe they do maybe they dont, sorry cant say more but will find out come june!
astra shafts are the same lengths but you need to machine the astra hubs to fit corsa
My Cav T front drive shafts have play in them. Does anyone know a good (reliable/cheap) recon shop in the East London/Essex area?
Aren't Vauxhall ones are exchange items and so probably recon anyway?
I would rather have my own ones back and save money if poss.
over the limit, cheers mate, big help! which astra are we talking about though? mk2, mk3?
mk2 mate as far as i no but maybe mk3 not sure
It's safer to get your Corsa bearing knuckles machined to accept Astra hubs, than to get the Astra hubs machined to fit the Corsa bearing (this will weaken the hub!!).
I think all big block gearbox CVs/hubs are all the same size. The usual bearing size on the big block cv wheel bearings is 72mm outer diametre, 39mm inner. Harry Hockley do Group A wheel bearings for the Nova (probably the same for the Corsa) for about £22+vat each. These will accept the big block CVs, but have a smaller outer diametre (68mm). This would mean you wouldn't have to machine as much metal off the Corsa bearing knuckle to fit the bearing, so it would be even safer.

Zac Efron And His Italian Daddy Turn Down For What In New Vacation Dance Video
Zac Efron continues to prove himself as a master of seduction with another dancing video from his vacation in Italy this week, where he's been catching some sun and wiggling on tables with actress Michelle Rodriguez and a few other friends, including a mysterious "Italian businessman" who straddled him from behind on Monday.
Zac's Italian daddy has since been identified as Gianluca Vacchi, an "entrepreneur" that enjoys the company of young female models, and now apparently Zac Efron. Watch them turn down for what in the clip below with choreographer Youssef Giga, and please, make sure to lay a towel down on your seat before you do.
Zac has quite the moves for a 26-year-old straight dude! Check out his flawless moonwalk below, as well as a supercut of his finest dance moments from The Wrap:
I love it when guys can dance, i feel for the first time attracted to him XD
@Faulk: Yep, gay fact #3. Good on the dance floor = good in bed.
I despised the High School Musical films and wrote off Efron with them. Now it appears he might possibly be the new Rob Lowe: always handsome, but improving with age; has a sense of humor and doesn't mind putting himself in the punchline; and charming as hell (did anyone see his most recent appearance on GRAHAM NORTON?). Now if he gets a few more decent roles like THE PAPERBOY.
@michael: Yeah, thats true, i love me a good dancer :D
How sweet! men and only men.
michelle = beard
I cannot make any sense of the title of this article.
Zac Efron And His Italian Daddy Turn Down For What In New Vacation Dance Video
…turn down for what…
@justSomeGuyFromNJ: First of all–great handle, I'm from NJ. Secondly–I'm gonna make fun of you for not being "with it," as the kids say these days.
Just kidding, I'm 25.
But seriously–"Turn Down For What" is slang/lingo/street jive for reckless behavior (look it up!), as well as a really popular recent song with Lil Jon, as heard in the first video above. I won't blame you for not being a part of the in crowd :P
There's nothing worse than an attractive, hot bodied, funny, young, successful, wealthy guy is enjoying his life…oh wait that sounds pretty damn good! Let's dissect it!
Now all he needs is an Oscar ceremony stage number dancing with Snow White and he's all set!

On her way to her first college class, Marla Marquez '14 is surprisingly calm. She has a sunny messenger bag slung over her shoulder and an air of confidence to match it. Fast-forward to the first minutes of Introductory Chemistry with Professor Karen Brewer, and Marquez is acutely attentive. When the first PowerPoint slideshow is up, Marquez gets out a pen and punches the clicky end against her notebook, ready to take notes. A Nalgene water bottle branded "Hamilton 2014" is hooked to a strap on her bag — it appears Marquez is as determined, prepared and self-assured as ever.
But she has reason to be somewhat apprehensive. Marquez was born in Cuba and raised in Florida, where she has been living with her mother and brother. She heard about Hamilton through the Posse Foundation program, in which she was a finalist but did not make the cut. Instead, she is attending Hamilton as a HEOP (Higher Education Opportunities Program) scholar. "My high school wasn't even 10 percent white, which is interesting, because I'm in the minority now," she says.
Nevertheless, Marquez is eager to immerse herself in college life and aspires to major in neuroscience and pursue a career in pediatric care. She's been wondering about how hard college science would be, especially because she is taking two lab courses this semester. But her worries seem to dissolve as she listens. She laughs at Brewer's truism that "science is messy," smiles when Brewer compares heterogeneous and homogeneous substances to hamburgers and hotdogs, and looks both impressed and encouraged when Brewer says that she sometimes has late-night chats on Skype with students who have questions.
Marquez leaves the class excited and not in the least overwhelmed, despite the 12 hours a week of outside work to which she must commit. Heading for the stairs and her next class, she says, "I'm so happy to be here — you have no idea!"

"It is the biggest club I have ever played for," he told the club's official website. "In the Premier League, there is no bigger club than Liverpool."

Setting the record straight
I read with interest your recent election coverage. There is one item I wish to correct in your July 27 article. This is a concept which has caused much confusion and is important to set straight.
Proposition 1 will set the rate for the County Current Expense Levy at 75 cents for 2011, but permanently increase the levy by $2 million. That new amount can only be increased by 1 percent or the CPI until 2015, and then it is recapped at 1 percent annual increase.
The levy amount is what is permanent, not the rate. The levy amount will be divided each year by the total property value of the county to determine the annual rate for each tax bill. Depending on whether a person's property value goes up or down, each taxpayer will experience this change differently each year.
The rate of inflation is expected to stay close to 1 percent for the near future according to our budget director, the citizens' panel who tested our assumptions, and most recently Ben Bernanke.

Nazareth had a seven-run lead evaporate in a 19-8 mercy-rule shortened loss to Pennridge in a Region 2 American Legion Baseball Tournament elimination game Tuesday at Hostelley Field.
Pennridge will play Boyertown at 1 p.m. today. If Pennridge wins, it forces a second game for the Region 2 title. If Boyertown wins the first contest, it wins the championship.
Boyertown eliminated Bath 4-1 on Tuesday night behind Ryan Pinter's complete game.
"We came ready to play," Nazareth manager Jason Brown said. "We played well the first two or three innings. We were scoring some runs, we had guys on base and things were going well."Brown's team jumped out to a 7-0 advantage after two innings thanks to a scoring barrage that was capped by a booming three-run homer by Mike Garzillo and an opposite-field blast by Karl Keglovits.
After Nazareth's Ben Schmitt pitched out of bases-loaded jams in the third and fourth innings, Pennridge finally caught up with the starter in the fifth.
Schmitt left the game after Jon Unangst and Rocky Ferrier ripped RBI singles to make the score 7-5. With Ryan Heiserman taking over on the mound, Dylan Tice plated another run with an infield hit and Ferrier scored on a wild pitch to tie the game.
Next, Jared Schaffer crushed an RBI double to right-center field to give Pennridge an 8-7 lead.
"We didn't really play poor defense," Brown said. "They just hit the ball all over the field."
"They put up some runs and we kind of deflated," Garzillo said.The game broke open in the seventh as Pennridge laced 11 hits and tallied 11 runs to make the score 19-7.
In the bottom half of the inning, Nazareth (21-9) managed one run, which Jordan Smith scored on a fielder's choice, and fell victim to the mercy rule.
"We were playing a little timidly early and that's not our game," Pennridge manager Rocky Wright said. "When you get down 7-0 a lot of times you can't play your game, but we started chipping away."Pennridge (16-11) was paced by leadoff hitter Mike Kessler, who went 6-for-6 and scored three runs.
"He's the stick that stirs the pot," Wright said of Kessler.Tice finished with four hits, four runs and five RBIs, while Drew Decew hit two doubles and drove in four runs. Every member of the Pennridge lineup notched at least two hits.
According to Garzillo, Nazareth won't let an unsightly tournament loss tarnish its successful season.
"The first goal is always the NorCo championship and to win it three years in a row really says something about our team," said Garzillo, who was 2-for-4 with two runs and four RBIs. "Pennridge just played a better game than us and unfortunately, our season ends here but we're definitely staying positive about it. Hopefully, we can come out and win a fourth (NorCo) championship next year."PENNRIDGE (ab-r-h-rbi) -- Kessler 2b 6-3-6-1, Ferrier lf 5-4-3-2, Tice ss 6-4-4-5, Myers p/Decew dh 4-1-2-4, Schaffer 1b 4-0-2-2, Stear 3b 5-1-2-1, Leatherman lf 4-2-3-1, Mikols c 5-2-2-1, Unangst cf 5-2-2-1.

Today's Picture From The Past shows "Toyland" at Riverview Beach Park in Pennsville.
We believe the postcard view is from either the late 1930s or early 1940s.
Above the entrance are the words "Riverview Beach, Toyland, Post Cards - Novelties.
Longtime Pennsville — and most Salem County — residents have many fond memories of the former amusement park, once the grandest on the East Coast.
Thousands came by car or steamer to the park for summer entertainment before it decline and closed in the late 1960s.

I found the RX EQ functioned very well in 1.xxx version, in fact, now that you have brought it up, the new 2054 RX EQ seems to be acting like a volume control as it is turned from +20 to -20, instead of acting like a tone control it seems to act like a volume control. Alan, I am not quite clear about having twice the DSP filtering. Exactly how is this accomplished? If in 1.xxx versions we had both an AF Gain and an IF AGC, and this resulted in better leveling of the overall audio, what is happening now to produce twice the DSP filtering which results in significant loss of audio below 200hz. Also, is this really desirable in order to gain a very slight reduction in noise? However, I really appreciate you sharing what might be considered confidentional information so that we might grasp exactly what is going on.

OC Weekly covers the Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa child sex abuse lawsuit
Gustavo Arellano/OC Weekly
Everyone knows about the Catholic Diocese of Orange and its pedophile-protecting ways (got another bombshell in the cannon–I'm warning you, Brownie), but Orange County's other Christian yahoo network has had its kiddie-diddling scandals as well–except Calvary Chapel does a much-better job hiding its tracks, signing settlements that remain under seal. I should get to exposing those, and will after I finish a couple of projects, but nice to see others aren't waiting.
Paging Bishop Brownie…
The lawsuit, filed by an Idaho law firm but featuring the muscle of Washington lawyer Tim Kosnoff (whose tenacity in going against pedo-protectors of all denominations was just told in a book by my publishing company, Scribner–just found that out while Googling!) combines two separate lawsuits filed against Calvary Chapel accusing them of harboring Iglesias. This one names the Big Calvary in the suit: Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa, which is actually in SanTana, and accuses them and North Country Calvary pastor Robert Davis of "negligently, recklessly and/or fraudulently conceal[ing] from the general public, law enforcement, its parishioners, plaintiffs and their parents its knowledge that Iglesias was and is a pedophile, child predator, and child molester." Kosnoff isn't asking for much–$10,000 per client, because that's all that Idaho allows in such cases (a direct byproduct of Brownie's Idaho days, no doubt) but will try to ask for punitive damages at a later date and is asking for a jury trial.
Iglesias is currently in jail for molesting two other boys in 2003. What did Calvary Chapel founder-head Chuck Smith know about child molesters within his flock, and when?

Nice article!
[…] Google Blogs- More Christian Family News Here: OC Weekly covers the Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa child sex abuse … […]
If what you say is true Alex, that picture must be really nauseating for you. If Chuck hasn't already, I think it would be a good idea for him to look into your story before he continues to support this man. Some people are so good at deceiving other people. Their private faces are completely different than their public faces. I have someone in my life at the moment who is this way, and I would never have believed the allegations made against this person I know, if I hadn't been around their private life enough lately to see it. I was shocked to find out how "different" they are when home with their family. It has taught me a big lesson on deception. When one person makes an allegation, it's one thing, but when more than one are making it, I think its time to look into what is going on. I hope and will pray that Chuck Smith looks into this problem and will stay open to see what the truth is. I know I was really fooled so I know how it can happen like it happened to me. It's too bad there wasn't a maid or someone like that in the background who was aware of what happened and could be a witness for you. In my situation a maid was there and totally aware of what was going on.I don't personally know you Alex but if what you say is true, I really hope the truth comes out on this. It is so horrible how people get away with their deceptions and lies and the victims get "blasted" for speaking out and standing for the truth.
What you see here is only the tip of the iceberg. I can vouch for Alex's honesty. He is tenacious because this all really happened, and he has enough sweeping knowledge to confirm in his own mind that this is not surreal but the cool hard reality. Pray for him and the many others who are under the surface of this crisis. They are seeking God's guidance as to how to proceed. In the past two years, the hints about what may transpire has happened just as predicted. This story is only going to get bigger. Most people will not believe what they see and hear. Cling to Jesus with an iron grip because there may be some shaking in the near future.
There is also the Allegation of Smith's involvement in wiretapping at the Logos Building…Just ask Roger Wing or Ed Cornwall to confirm… The cover up gave David Hocking clemency through CCCM and a permanent prime spot on KWAVE .. Can anyone say,"CalvaryGate"
Asking Roger Wing to confirm? Haha…….
my prayer is this case will bring Pastor's Raul Ries and Dale Goddard to account for their very liberal use of church funds, the personal and spiritual abuse of staff members and others within CC Diamond Bar, the allegation of marital infidelity and the ongoing cover-up of CC Senior Pastors sins.
If anyone believes Raul will 'step-down' you are CRAZY!
You don't hand over an empire and lifestyle that easily. I don't care who the accusers are, or who represents them…
Alex, I believe PJay is right – Raul will never step down, and no one there will have the courage to call him out. And, if needs be, Raul will pay these guys off (it's only $10,000 each, right?) with the stipulation that this goes away quietly. This will then go away quietly (except from here). But I am a negative Nelly.
Question: Was Raul put into ministry as a novice? Did he meet the qualifications to be an elder at the time?
There's a reason why God tells us in the scriptures not to put novices into the ministry and why there is a list of qualifications one must meet. Observation tells us that pride takes over and alters men who started out with good intentions.
Alex, do you know if the case would hinge on all three being guilty – or will the jury be able to separate? Or, is that different from case to case? I think the stuff on Bob Davis won't stick. Possibly on CCCM and Raul, though, from what I read in the document.
I Timothy 3:6 (Pick your translation … what part of "he must not be a recent convert…" does CC not understand?
New International Version (©1984)
He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil.

not a new convert, lest having been puffed up he may fall to a judgment of the devil;
Alex-I noticed on LHT that they have a link for another case involving youth Pastor Michael Louis Anthony from CC Longview.
Have you ever posted this case? I don't recall it.
Okay, i don't have much money but I will place $100.00 into a pot that says the following will happen. You can determine the odds (or, don't since gambling is not legal!).
Guide one is the general liability insurer for CCCM and CCGS (Raul's Church). Guide One will be handing out $100,000.00 for CCCM ($10,000) will be CCCM's part and Guide One will hand out $75,000.00 for CCGS ($10,000) will be CCGS's part. The $10k is their deductible.
The case will be settled and apart from this blog the story will go quietly into the past.
from past experiences i have seen CCCM settle without all the board members knowing the insurance carrier actually settled.
Yep. that's how bad the CCCM board handles 'the stuff.'
On another note,
if this gets close to going to trial then the person to watch will be Dale Goddard. Raul will sell him out faster than you can imagine. He's done it with many others before.
PJay-"The case will be settled and apart from this blog the story will go quietly into the past."
Isn't the biblical model for the sinner to go before the church and their sin exposed ?
I think of the movie "Philadelphia"..you know how Denzel says "Explain it to me like I'm a 4 yr old" (or whatever age he said)
Maybe I am just too naive.
Is there a biblical model to follow that they are avoiding with pay-offs?
Sorry…above is Calvary chapel church..not Calvary chapel.
You can delete my posts on this.
OK It IS a Calvary Chapel and is listed in the directory.
Oh Hannah,
your naivety is priceless. I will answer your question simply and then provide a few queries for your consideration:
Answer: They are not following a biblical model. if anyone has served at CC Golden Springs then you are very familiar with the 6 month rule. it's their rule…
1) CC boast of being a N.T. church. They try to practice active evangelism as a NT Church. Yet, their leadership structure (which they boast about) is an OT model. Think on that.
2) CC boast of being a Biblical church that rightly divides the Word of God. Yet, they hide all aspects of their organization (board, assets, financial operations, etc…). So, they open their Bibles to teach on Sunday mornings, evenings and Wednesday Evenings and they close their offices and books all the other days. Think on that.
Pjay…you are very in the know. This is going to be a massive story no matter the outcome of this suit. CCCM will be greatly damaged.
I don't know the extent of Alex's sources but I imagine they are widespread and substantial. This is snowballing now at a very fast rate.
Pjay…the financial secrecy bothered me the most. I never got the right hinny boot of fellowship…just split as fast as I could after reading all the past Board Minutes and the current Year End Budget. It was a one man show, and it answered a lot of my questions about the leadership.
Pjay: You hit it on the head about Raul selling out Dale. That will absolutely happen!
I'm certain you know the many stories of his best friends being thrown under the bus for his betterment.
Calvary Chapel pastors hide behind the 'Moses Model' which has many unBiblical aspects. They believe pastors are 'only accountable to God Himself', instead of other believers. Where is the accountability for sin and/or false teachings?
I have in writing, from a lady (teacher) at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa, whose husband has been a pastor, that we are to judge nobody (even believers).
So, if they don't believe in judging believers' sins and teachings within the church, doesn't that mean they are a cult? Because this weird notion is very unBiblical. The Apostle Paul judged those in the church who were sinning or teaching falsely. Was he sinning? Perhaps there were 'whistle blowers' in this situation, but maybe they were shown the door! The very rule of the Moses Model is just one big cover up in my opinion! If you don't like how we run things, well then, bye bye. This might be why there are lawsuits against Calvary Chapels, they often won't hold each other accountable. This is far from true Christianity.
A person who exposes error (false teaching) and/or sin at (many, if not all) Calvary Chapels, will likely be labeled a 'gossiper' or a 'slanderer' or a 'divisive person' – and will be shunned. This is projection; they often make the people that speak up feel like they are horrible and condemned. It is spiritual abuse.
Beware the Spirit of Elitism and the Spirit of Error in churches.
In my opinion, saying that believers are not to hold pastors or each other accountable or judge sin and false teachings in the church……. is a destructive heresy. It goes against everything the Bible stands for, it goes against 'sound doctrine'.
2 Peter 2:1 "But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction".
By pasting that site, are you implying that Church Smith knowingly is using, and has started his church with a occult symbol thus supporting the occult?
Church=chuck… Ironically,I always make that mistake!
So, What's the latest on this story, It's been over a month and I've not seen any updates out of OC weekly. today's date 10-5-11

CHICAGO -- Greetings from the NBA Draft Combine, where everybody who's anybody in professional basketball circles has gathered. The playoffs are churning toward a conclusion. The NBA Draft Lottery is Tuesday. The Detroit Pistons still don't have a coach.
There's plenty to talk about in this week's version of "Ask David" questions on Pistons-related topics.
For inclusion in next week's version, email your questions to email@example.com and put "Ask David" in the subject line.
Hefty inbox today after taking last Friday off, so let's start:
Q: Hi David, I'm Dor from Israel, a huge Pistons fan and like to read your chats for a while. I wanted to know what is your opinion on trading Stuckey this summer. I mean, we lack a consistent scoring threat and Stuckey has "excelled" in being inconsistent. I think it's time for him to go, and time to bring a veteran point guard to back up Knight (or re-sign Jose Calderon), new wing players (like O.J. Mayo or Kevin Martin), and get Bynum back. I don't like Stuckey's attitude and inconsistency. Question is, do you agree with me, and what do you think we could get back for Stuckey this summer? -- Dor Erlich, Israel
Q: Do you think the Pistons will pick up the second year on Kim English and Slava Kravtsov? Also Vince Ellis at the Free Press sees Stuckey as being gone next year, do you concur? -- Marvin
A: Sorry to lump you guys together but you're obviously wavelengthing together. So it's pick-on-Stuckey day, huh? That's OK. He's a big boy and he's bought and paid for it with his inconsistency over time, as Dor noted.
Stuckey is the Piston most likely to be traded for several reasons. He's just so explosive that if he could ever put it all together and stay engaged, he could be a dynamic force on any team. His contract expires after next season, so some teams would find it attractive to deal a longer-term contract for Stuckey, and the Pistons have the financial room to absorb one. He could prove to be a vital piece in the remaking of the Pistons' roster because of his trade value and contract situation.
And there's this, too: Part of the mandate when Tom Gores bought the team two years ago was to get rid of the bad guys, or guys perceived as such, after the bizarre and mutinous conclusion to John Kuester's coaching tenure just before Gores' purchase. Ben Gordon, the best 3-point shooter, and Tayshaun Prince, the best perimeter defender, were traded away in salary-cap deals. Those moves were formulated by Joe Dumars, yes, but trading Gordon and Prince were dictated by Gores. Stuckey is the most likely candidate to join the list next.
As to Marvin's question on English and Kravtsov, it's a dicey situation for both and depends largely upon the draft, especially for Kravtsov. Barring a draft-night trade, if the Pistons draft a big, the only way to keep Kravtsov, whose $1.5 million contract can be bought out before the end of June for $500,000, is if they amnesty Charlie Villanueva. The Pistons have five bigs (Andre Drummond, Greg Monroe, Jonas Jerebko, Villanueva and Kravtsov) and will not carry a sixth. To Kravtsov's advantage, to what degree the Pistons make moves through free agency and trades, big men figure to be a somewhat lesser priority, and there's always the possibility that Villanueva gets traded or amnestied.
English isn't in a great spot but that could evolve. The Pistons are looking for backcourt help and English has a non-guaranteed contract. They would like him back but golfers would like to carry more than 14 clubs, too. English's specific problem is that the Pistons are looking for help at his position and they will use every avenue, including free agency and trades, to find it. Then there's that extra draft pick the Pistons got from a four-year-old trade with the Clippers, No. 55 overall in the second round. That makes three draft picks to make room for and the guy who costs zero to release is never in a good spot when you're running out of musical chairs. The upside for English? His contract is manageable, the Pistons need guards, and if they reach for big names in the open markets, they'll need some guys working for less.
Q: Do you think there will be good possibilities to trade Charlie Villanueva's expiring contract this summer or will the Pistons need to wait until trade deadline? Does Villanueva have any trade value left, other than his expiring contract? -- Gabriel
A: The value in Villanueva, for another team, comes in the possibility of dumping a longer-term contract, Gabriel. While that might be associated with another team dumping a problem player, there may be much broader scenarios in the trade market because of the several teams bumping into luxury-tax problems, some of them severe problems. Villanueva has value for that reason, both now and at the trade deadline. Other than that, would you want to pay him almost $8.6 million next year?
Q: Hey David, I have been really enjoying the NBA playoffs, to me they have gone as expected so far (especially with the Westbrook injury), I still see a Heat-Spurs finals with the Heat repeating as champions. What is your take on the playoffs so far and who do you see meeting up in the finals and who you think wins the championship? Now on to the Pistons, assuming the Pistons don't win the lottery, who do you see as the main targets at No. 7 and maybe with their two picks in round two? To me a lot depends on if the Pistons are able to re-sign El Talento (Jose Calderon). One person I would not target is Trey Burke, sorry I'm not a fan of him. If I wanted a point guard I would target Michael Carter-Williams, the 6-6 point guard out of Syracuse or the man that I have seen many times in person, Ray McCallum Jr., the point guard out of Detroit Mercy (UDM listed him at 6-3). Like I said, I have seen McCallum a ton and he is the real deal and would look great in a Pistons uniform. Finally, I was very pleased to see that the Pistons interviewed Spurs assistant Mike Budenholzer (this is the man that I have wanted since the day the Pistons let Lawrence Frank go), what is your take on Budenholzer and the chances the Pistons hire him as their next head coach? Thanks and God Bless. -- Jeff
A: On the playoffs, Jeff, it's a shame what happened to Russell Westbrook but the Memphis Grizzlies are a team built for the playoffs and they're showing it. Funny how Prince was a guy most everyone in Detroit wanted run out of town, and then when it happened, the Pistons' perimeter defense was left tattered and the Grizzlies became conference finalists, huh? The western playoffs have been every bit the bloodbath we expected. No big surprises in the east except for how bad New York's bench has been over the course of the Indiana series. Neither one of those teams extends Miami seven games, and maybe not six. But either series would be intriguing, because of Indiana's size and the chance the Knicks don't miss. A good championship series against either western team but Miami wins again.
Nothing new on the coaching search recently involving Budenholzer, the San Antonio assistant, or anyone else. But if it's Budenholzer or Indiana assistant Brian Shaw, a formal offer might not come until their playoff runs are over anyway.
Q: David, the NBA playoffs have been must-see TV for me. Thank you for giving us basketball junkies our Pistons fix during the offseason. Things may change between now and the upcoming NBA Draft but it looks like the following players may be gone before the Pistons pick, assuming we stay put at No. 7: Nerlens Noel, Ben McLemore, Otto Porter, Trey Burke and Victor Oladipo. If this is the case do you think there is any chance the Pistons would consider Alex Len? He may have the highest ceiling of anyone in this draft. Does Joe have the luxury of looking long term with a Len pick or does his precarious situation necessitate addressing an immediate need? Len could solidify our front court for years to come. Thank you. - Dennis
A: As you noted, the five players you mentioned may all be gone by No. 7, if that's where the Pistons pick. But someone always slips. Porter still could slide to seven. So could Burke. And Shabazz Muhammad isn't on the list.
That said, the Pistons have so many holes to fill that they wouldn't pass up a talented big man just to draft a perimeter player they didn't like as much. Len, the Maryland center, figures to be available when the Pistons pick, although whoever drafts him will have to do it without seeing him in workouts after he had surgery two weeks ago for a stress fracture in his left ankle. If the Pistons drafted Len, they could bolster the interior on a rookie contract and buy out Kravtsov in an inexpensive, apples-to-apples roster move. They could trade or amnesty Villanueva with more confidence and go with Monroe and Jerebko as power forwards. Could Len be in their sights? Absolutely. Do GMs have questions about him that they would have preferred to resolve through individual workouts? They sure do.
Q: Hi David, from one writer to the other, great job covering the team. Here's my question/thought: I'm not so much interested in who you feel the Pistons might logically go after this summer with all that cap space, but more who you think they should go after, based on team needs, likely asking price, and potential to help take this team to the next level. I read a lot about O.J. Mayo and Gerald Henderson, for example, but they both seem like significant "I got my payday" gambles to me, and like players incapable of really elevating this team with their play and leadership. Henderson put up decent, inconsistent numbers on a very bad Bobcats team and seems more like a sixth man, and Mayo ... he just makes me nervous. There are others, of course, who Detroit is rumored to be interested in. It's a slow time of the year (right?) -- play GM for a minute. What two or three moves do you try to make? Thanks for your thoughts. -- Brian
A: If you get into the free-agent game, you're going to overspend for someone, Brian. Doesn't mean you can't get production from him, just that it might not match his salary, though you certainly don't want it to reach the Gordon or Villanueva level.
I'm not big on Henderson but Mayo offers 3-point shooting the Pistons didn't have last year. Is Mayo an eight-figure player? Marginally, maybe. Is he worth much more than the $4 million he made last year? Definitely. It's going to take a sizable contract to get him. Would I spend big on Mayo before I offered a maximum contract for Josh Smith? With the Pistons' needs, absolutely.
There are so many variables that it becomes nearly impossible to judge what the Pistons do, especially in using all that cap space in the trade market. But since you asked what I'd do, here goes.
I would re-sign either Jose Calderon or Will Bynum but not both, and actually would prefer Bynum. That gives me some flexibility with Brandon Knight, pending what happens in the pursuit of a shooting guard. You won't like it, but I would look to buy a Mayo or Martin. I'd also consider, based on finances, spending on Tony Allen instead, locking down the perimeter, and we play it ugly. Failing that, I'd try to get some equivalency in trades involving my big expiring contracts, Stuckey and Villanueva. I'd call the Brooklyn Nets and the Los Angeles Lakers and the Golden State Warriors and every other team smacking into luxury-tax problems and make every favorable offer I could, and listen to every GM's sweat droplets hit the telephone receiver, and laugh every time it happened, because no one wants to pay that $2.50-to-$1 tax for the worst regular cap offenders.
I'd resign myself to the reality that this won't all be fixed this summer, or by next February's trade deadline. The biggest needs are a point guard, a range-shooting guard and a top small forward. The first one is the most difficult to address. The last one may be the easiest, particularly with some hope that last year's rookies Kyle Singler and Khris Middleton could be long-term NBA players at that position. I'd start trying to trade Stuckey on draft week, I'd draft the best player available because the only position where the Pistons are really set is power forward, and I'd make sure I addressed both the shooting guard and small forward needs this offseason.
Ask me June 28 and I'll have a different answer.
Q: First time writing to you, so if you answer, thanks for that. I am curious if you have any "outside-of-the-box" ideas for people Dumars might target through free agency or trades? I read the obvious Josh Smith, O.J. Mayo, etc. all the time but was hoping you might have a few people that could really improve the team but might not be on the fans' radars. I know trades are hard to come up with but a few thoughts on trades you would like to see that are reasonable would be great to hold me over until the drafts. Thanks for your hard work. -- James
A: Well, Michael Jordan's retired. I don't think Chris Paul is coming to Detroit. I'm not big on much of anyone internationally right now but a lot of people like the center Rudy Gobert in the draft.
I think Randy Foye would be a good pickup for the right team and could help the Pistons. He's an unrestricted free agent. So is Keyon Dooling, if you're looking to shore up the backcourt without breaking the bank and save that money for other spots. Like you said, James, there's so much focus on Smith's free agency that Atlanta's other free agents go overlooked. Kyle Korver could address the Pistons' glaring lack of 3-point shooting with one signing, and also is an unrestricted free agent. So is Devin Harris, another point guard on the open market.
If you want to restore some of the toughness the Pistons will lose without Jason Maxiell, Kenyon Martin is available after the Knicks picked him up at the end of the season. Chris "Birdman" Andersen is unrestricted in Miami. Chris Kaman might like to finish his career in his home state, too.
Q: I love the work that you do for us sports fans. What coach would you like to see the Pistons hire? And what type of moves would you like to see the Pistons make to turn this team into playoff contenders? Is there a player the Pistons should pursue during free agency or the draft that would make us a better team? -- Barron Hudson, Detroit
A: I thought Nate McMillan would have been a good choice for a new coach, Barron. But he's interviewing here, there and everywhere. Budenholzer would be a good hire among the assistant coach candidates. Shaw fits the Pistons' profile more, though. If the next coach isn't a former NBA player, I'll be surprised.
Just a thought on the draft, sure, it's possible that all of the top 10 players, or virtually all, are perimeter players. It's also possible that a few teams go for the milk and leave the cream of the big men on top. Len or Rudy Gobert, in gambling parlance, may be the underlays of the draft.

Holman Bible Dictionary
(loh-dee buhr) A place name differently spelled in Hebrew texts to mean "to him a word" or "no word." After Saul and Jonathan had been defeated on Mount Gibeon (1 Samuel 31:1-13 ), Mephibosheth, Jonathan's lame son (2 Samuel 4:4 ) took refuge with Machir in the city of Lo-Debar (2 Samuel 9:4 )—a city of Gad located in the eastern part of Gilead just south of the Sea of Chinnereth (Galilee). After David became king, he called for Mephibosheth so he could show kindness to the lone descendant of Jonathan (2 Samuel 9:1-5 ). David later needed the assistance of Machir of Lo-Debar during the rebellion of Absalom (2 Samuel 17:27 ).
The Hebrew text of Joshua 13:26 mentions the name of the city Lidebir near Mahanaim. This is usually translated "to Debir," but many see this as an alternate spelling of Lo-Debar. See Debir .
Lo-Debar is cryptically referred to in Amos 6:13 . Prior to the delivery of this oracle, Lo-Debar and Karnaim had been recaptured by Jereboam II from the Arameans in a campaign blessed by God (2 Kings 14:25-28 ). Israel had taken the victory as an indication of its own strength and greatness, forgetting that God had brought them the victory. Amos took the consonants of the name Lo-Debar and added new vowels to make the name read "a thing of nought." Amos was reminding Israel that its true strength and greatness lie not in their military achievements but in God who had blessed their efforts; Amos was calling the Israelites back to faith in this God.

The math: Tri-City Americans 5, Portland Winterhawks 1.
Personally, I like this math better: Sidney Crosby extended his point streak to 25 games, with 2 goals and 2 assists in a 6 - 3 game against Atlanta. He also set off a false alarm when fans sent hats flying to the ice, thinking he had scored a third goal that was credited to Matt Cooke. It's a thing of truly staggering beauty. Plain and simple.
What a difference a day makes: This morning, the Winterhawks announced they had acquired Vancouver Giants' Captain Craig Cunningham in a trade that sent Teal Burns and Spencer Bennett to Vancouver. Cunningham touched down at Portland International Airport about an hour or so before suiting up for tonight's game.
But nobody rides to the playoffs for free: The trade also means that we lost one of my favorite players. Spencer Bennett was the first player I interviewed when I reported on the Hawks' 2010 home opener, which ironically was against the Vancouver Giants. When I asked him about his two goals that night, he said "I got lucky twice." I hope the same luck he had while here (Teddy Bear Goal 2009, assisting on Chris Francis' near-legendary Dash for Cash game tying goal) follows him to Vancouver and to a future with the Calgary Flames. I have already marked my calendar for upcoming Portland vs. Vancouver games, so if you see a Portland fan cheering for the wrong team when Spencer scores or assists, it's me. I did it. And I'll do it again.
The irony: Season tickets for 2010 - 2011 have a photo and name of the NHL drafted players on them. The picture and name on tonight's ticket was Spencer.
Harder still: When I met his parents at parent's weekend, as I was getting ready to depart for the evening, his father said, almost in passing, "we'll see you again at playoffs." Assuming that not only would we make it into the playoffs, but that Spencer would still be here. And I truly do wish it had worked out that way. We have gained something valuable in Craig, and Vancouver has gained something valuable with Spencer. I hope they use it wisely.
Not exactly the storybook welcome for our newest prized possession: Not even Craig could offer the magic bullet for beating the Americans. I asked him, having played against the Ams for a different team, what is the secret? The short answer is: "There is no secret. I've only beaten them 3 times my whole career and I've been around a long time." As for what happened out there tonight: "We gave them a lot of goals. There were a few that they didn't have to work that hard for." He stated the obvious as well... that we gave up too many pucks and had way too many turnovers. But he also said this about beating the Ams, which I heartily agree with: "We have the guys in the room to do it. And we can." I personally suggested putting a hex on the visitor's dressing room, but he didn't seem to think that would work. What's the harm? I have a press pass to get down to the dressing room level. I could do it and no one would be the wiser.
Behind the great plays is a very cool player: I only chatted with Craig for a minute or so, and it's like when you meet Nino or you spend time talking to Brett. You just know that behind the great plays is a great player, a great leader and a special person. For someone who just lost his C, got on a plane to a strange town and suited up with a team he hardly knows inside of 12 hours, you'd never know it. He's an exceedingly nice, polite guy who is clearly wise and professional beyond his years. If you get the chance while he's here, I recommend meeting him. You'll see what I mean.
To quote Charlie Brown...aaaarrrrggghhh: The most frustrating play of the night had to be when Ty Rattie went for the net with three minutes to go in the second period, and it looked like it was in there, until it drifted right around the post.
We know how you feel: Late in the third, not long before the Ams scored their fifth goal, a little boy sitting across from me started crying because he wanted the Winterhawks to win and he didn't understand why they weren't.
Parting shot: It's like Craig said...Portland has the talent, and we can beat the Americans. In fact, it was a win over the Ams last winter that clinched our first playoff berth in four years. But let's face it. The Tri-City Americans come to all games dressed to kill. Any opponents who do anything less are going to lose. And that's pretty much what happened. The Portland Winterhawks can, but they didn't. Frankly, if one of the best players in the league couldn't explain how to beat the Ams, then I'm not sure I want to try. But I do know that me being a fair weather fan will not help the situation. So, I will tune in tomorrow night, I will put my own little hex on the Ams in the privacy of my living room, and I will just put tonight out of the mind. For me, the bigger loss was Spencer. With new management taking over the Calgary Flames today, I hope he will get lucky and at last sign with the team. Whatever he does and wherever he lands, very best wishes to him.

Svetozar Gligorić (Serbian Cyrillic: Светозар Глигорић) (born February 2, 1923) is a Serbian chess grandmaster. He won the championship of Yugoslavia a record twelve times, and is considered the best player ever from Serbia.
During the 1950s and 1960s, he was one of the top ten players in the world, also among the world's most popular, owing to his globe-trotting tournament schedule and a particularly engaging personality that is reflected in the title of his autobiography, I Play Against Pieces (i.e., with no hostility to the opponent, or playing differently for "psychological" reasons against different players; playing the board not the man).
Svetozar Gligorić was born in Belgrade to a poor family. According to his recollections, his first exposure to chess was as a small child watching patrons play in a neighborhood bar. He began to play at the age of eleven, when taught by a boarder taken in by his mother (his father had died by this time). Lacking a chess set, he made one for himself by carving pieces from corks from wine bottles — a story paralleling the formative years of his great contemporary, the Estonian grandmaster Paul Keres.
Gligorić was a good student during his youth, with both academic and athletic successes that famously led to him being invited to represent his school at a birthday celebration for Prince Peter, later to become King Peter II of Yugoslavia. He later recounted (to International Master David Levy, who chronicled his chess career in The Chess of Gligoric), his distress at attending this gala event wearing poor clothing resulting from his family's impoverished condition. His first tournament success came in 1938 when he won the championship of the Belgrade Chess Club; however, World War II interrupted his chess progress for a time. During the war, Gligorić was a member of a partisan unit. A chance encounter with a chess-playing partisan officer led to his removal from combat.
Following the World War II, Gligorić worked several years as a journalist and organizer of chess tournaments. He continued to progress as a chessplayer and was awarded the chess International Master (IM) title in 1950 and the Grandmaster (GM) title in 1951, eventually making the transition to full-time chess professional, continuing active tournament play well into his sixties.
Gligorić was one of the most successful tournament players of the middle of the century, with a number of tournament titles to his credit, but was less successful in competing for the World Chess Championship. He was Yugoslav champion in 1947 (joint), 1948 (joint), 1949, 1950, 1956, 1957, 1958 (joint), 1959, 1960, 1962, 1965 and 1971.
He represented his country (Yugoslavia) with great success in fifteen Chess Olympiads from 1950 to 1982 (thirteen times on first board), playing 223 games (+88 =109 -26). In the first post-war Olympiad, on home soil at Dubrovnik 1950, Gligoric played on first board and led Yugoslavia to a historic result, the team gold medal. The Yugoslav team was usually second or third in the world during the 1950s.
His list of first-place finishes in international chess competitions is one of the longest and includes such events as Mar del Plata 1950, Stockholm 1954, Belgrade 1964, Manila 1968, Lone Pine 1972 and 1979, etc. He was a regular competitor in the series of great tournaments held at Hastings, with wins (or ties for first) in 1951–2, 1956–7, 1959–60, 1960–61, and 1962–3.
His record in world-championship qualifying events was mixed. He was a regular competitor in Zonal and Interzonal competitions with several successes, e.g. zonal wins in 1951, 1960 (joint), 1963, 1966, and 1969 (joint) and finishes at the Interzonals of 1952, 1958, and 1967 high enough to qualify him for the final "Candidates" events the following year. However, he was not as successful in any of the Candidates events, with mediocre results in the 1953 and 1959 Candidates Tournaments and a match loss to Mikhail Tal in the 1968 Candidates match series.
Gligorić was dangerous to the world chess champions, though he had minus scores against most. E.g., Mikhail Botvinnik +2 -2 =5, Vasily Smyslov +5 -7 =21, Tigran Petrosian +7 -10 =10, Mikhail Tal +2 -11 =19, Boris Spassky -5 =15, Bobby Fischer +4 -6 =6, Anatoly Karpov -4 =6 and Garry Kasparov -3.
Though he compiled a superb tournament record, it is perhaps as an openings theorist and commentator that Gligorić will be best remembered. He made enormous contributions to the theory and practice of the King's Indian Defense, Ruy Lopez and Nimzo-Indian Defense, among others, and particularly with the King's Indian, translated his theoretical contributions into several spectacular victories with both colours (including the sample game below). Theoretically significant variations in the King's Indian and Ruy Lopez are named for him. His battles with Bobby Fischer in the King's Indian and Sicilian Defense (particularly the Najdorf Variation, a long-time Fischer specialty) often worked out in his favor.
As a commentator, Gligorić was able to take advantage of his fluency in a number of languages and his training as a journalist, to produce lucid, interesting game annotations. He was a regular columnist for Chess Review and Chess Life magazines for many years, his "Game of the Month" column often amounting to a complete tutorial in the opening used in the feature game as well as a set of comprehensive game annotations. He wrote a number of chess books in several languages and has contributed regularly to the Chess Informant semi-annually (more recently, thrice-yearly) compilation of the world's most important chess games.
One of Gligorić's most famous games was this win against the former world champion Tigran Petrosian at the great "Tournament of Peace" held in Zagreb in 1970. It displays Gligorić's virtuosity on the Black side of the King's Indian and his willingness to play for a sacrificial attack against one of history's greatest defenders. Zagreb 1970 was another Gligorić tournament success, as he tied for second (with Petrosian and others) behind Fischer, at the start of the latter's 1970-71 run of tournament and match victories.
The following game can be played through here [1].
Petrosian–Gligorić, Zagreb 1970:
Petrosian–Gligorić, Zagreb 1970:
Indeed, Gligorić was the first person to inflict a defeat on Petrosian after he won the world title from Mikhail Botvinnik in 1963.[2]

Day 1 into NaBloPoMo...[scratches head, blank stare]...and NOW I remember why I haven't NaBloPoMo-ed since 2011...this blogging every day (even on weekends) thing is hard...YO!!!
The really cool thing about NaBloPoMo-ing is that there are daily prompts to help get my blogging juices going, but today's prompt was a little too hard (i.e. made me think more than I really care to) for a Friday.
Instead, I'd like to tell you about a brief encounter, with a doorman, in New York City:

Coatesville football is off to a 5-0 start and is loaded with what looks like enough talent to get back to a Class AAAA state championship game this season. However, simply getting back to the title game isn't enough.
With Penn State commit Daquan Worley at running back and corner, Maryland commit Tyler Burke at tight end and middle linebacker and class of 2015 four-star prospect Jay Stocker at safety and wide receiver, Coatesville has plenty of options. It also makes it a little easier on recruiters who throughout the past two years have showed up to meet with Worley and Burke, only to get Stocker on the radar early too.
Worley committed to Penn State last May and Burke to Maryland in June. Penn State was interested in Burke too and the player even met with Bill O'Brien a month before the sanctions were handed down. The Nittany Lions wanted Troy Reeder as their linebacker and because of the number crunch from the sanctions at the time once Reeder committed they could only take one. Burke was the odd man out but will join the Terrapins instead.
Fortunately for Stocker, he's been on Penn State's radar for a little while now. Penn State's Ron Vanderlinden and safeties coach Anthony Midget have both been in contact with the 6-foot-2, 185-pound safety.
"It's mostly Ron Vanderlinden," Stocker said. "Coach Midget, I remember him too. He talked to me too during school. He came into the school to talk to us. … It wasn't anything too crazy."
Midget was on hand to watch the two play earlier this season against Central Bucks South.
Stocker's brother, Manny, is a sophomore quarterback at NC State. The younger Stocker used to attend visits with his brother and understands how the process works. He visited Rutgers earlier this year, marking his first visit.
Stocker has offers from Wisconsin, Rutgers, Connecticut, Georgia Tech, Maryland, Virginia and Temple. He didn't attend any individual camps this summer because he went to team camp with Coatesville at West Virginia instead. Coatesville head coach Matt Ortega has fielded plenty of requests from programs, including Penn State, who wanted to learn more about the safety.
Stocker said he's interested in Penn State and with the program getting more scholarships back there's certainly some intrigue. Having Worley there – the two also team up during track season on the 4x100 and 4x200-meter relay – could also be another benefit for the in-state product.
"Yeah, I'd definitely like to (visit)," Stocker said, when asked if he'd be attending any games with Worley, who hopes to make it to at least three home games this year, starting with the Oct. 12 Michigan game. "We'll see what happens. I might. If I get invited or if he invites me I might."
Worley said he hasn't been bugging his teammates – some of whom could've had a shot as walk-on products – to seriously consider Penn State just yet.
"I really don't say anything about it," Worley said. "I'll probably say something to them maybe after the season, but I really don't say anything about it right now because I know there's a task at hand and I can't look too far into the future.
"But Stocker though, he's big time."

Great teacher!!!!!!!!
I'll point it out before someone else does….
Since the "h" in history is pronounced, shouldn't it be A historical, not AN historical?
It would be proper. Although I would be lying if I wouldn't make the same mistake. It's not unusual for me to pronounce it "istoric" when I speak quickly.
Also, "an" roles off the tongue easier than "a" would with this word for some reason so that doesn't help either.
very funny
No thank you.
English is a weird language; consider these sentences: "The house burned up" and "The house burned down". When I was in junior high school I thought the first meant the fire started in the basement and worked its way to the attic, and the second was the inverse. Today I realize both mean the house burned completely! Another "mind bender" is that you will read today on the paper what you read yesterday online, and both verb tenses are written the same… There are many more examples, but I think these two prove my point.

Prep Softball Roundup: No time to Waite
The day started off well for Toledo Waite as it traveled to Tiffin for a doubleheader against Calvert and scored four in the top of the first in the opener.
Then things went a bit downhill.
A seemingly endless parade of Senecas began to march across home plate. Waite's four-spot was answered with 11 Calvert runs in the bottom of the frame. Things didn't end there as Calvert rolled to a 26-7 game one victory. That was followed by a 15-2 Seneca win in game two.
The 26-run outburst was highlighted by a grand slam off the bat of Jordan Gase. It was one of three hits in the game for Gase. She also scored three runs.
Kate Brickner went 3 for 4 with five RBIs and four runs scored. Lindsay Bickley had a pair of hits, drove in three runs and scored twice. Nicole Bickley added two RBIs and two runs scored. Taylor Ritzler, Margaret Bowers and Miranda Shorts also picked up RBIs. Gabby Bennett and Taylor Ritzler each scored five runs while Nicole Fretz crossed the plate twice.
After a rough first inning, Bennett settled down to pick up the win in the circle. She struck 10 and allowed three hits.
Lindsay Bickley was the winning pitcher in game two, allowing three hits, two runs and striking out seven. She also added two hits and two RBIs at the plate.
Brickner drove in four more runs, giving her nine RBIs on the day. Ritzler drove in three and scored twice and Nicole Bickley had two hits and drove in two. Bennett, Gase and Allison Huss all added RBIs with Bennett scoring three runs. Fretz and Miranda Shorts each scored twice.
Mohawk sweeps Redskins
SYCAMORE – Coming off a big win Friday against New Riegel, Mohawk kept its momentum going by sweeping a doubleheader against Arcadia Saturday by scores of 11-6 and 14-4.
The opener was highlighted by the bat of Cambria Kohlenberg. The freshman went 4 for 4 including a double and a triple, with two RBIs and four runs scored.
Mackenzie Sowers was a perfect 3-for-3 at the plate with two RBIs and a run scored. Hannah Kieffer added two hits, RBIs and runs scored. Sarah Runion, Taylor McClain, Clara Adelsperger and Allison Price all tacked on RBIs. Julie Adelsperger and McClain each had two hits.
Julie Adelsperger picked up the win in the circle striking out nine.
In game two, Clara Adelsperger homered and doubled while driving in five runs. Sowers added two more hits, two more runs scored and three more RBIs to her day. Kohlenberg had two base hits, scored twice and drove in a pair. Runion had two base hits scored twice and drove in a run. Price and Allison Osborn also had RBIs.
Price was the winning pitcher, her third win in the circle on the year.
Tigers take 2 from St. Wendelin
FOSTORIA – One was a blowout, one was close, but the result was the same. Two Huron wins. The Tigers came to Fostoria and scored 14-2 and 8-6 victories Saturday over St. Wendelin.
An eight-run third provided Huron with separation from the Mohawks in the first game.
Allie Rutter and Johnna Hoover RBIs for St. Wendelin. Edy Mowrey and Adrienne Emerine had two hit games.
In game two, Victoria Walter had two hits and drove in three runs for the Mohawks. Meghan Reiter added two hits with a double and two RBIs. Beth Hay also drove in a run and Rutter had three hits.
TC takes two from Knights
VAN BUREN – Columbian went into Saturday having lost five games this season by one run.
Things turned for the Tornadoes Saturday at Van Buren. After hammering the Black Knights 9-2 in game one, TC nipped Van Buren in the second contest, 6-5.
