RED BLUFF HIGH SCHOOL BoostersannounceHallofFameinductees By Ronald Blum The Associated Press CLEVELAND Corey Kluber got the Cleveland Indians off to a great start and Roberto Perez finished off the Chicago Cubs in their first World Se- ries game since 1945. Kluber pitched neatly into the sev- enth inning, Perez hit two home runs and the Indians beat the Cubs 6-0 in the opener Tuesday night. AL Cham- pionship Series MVP Andrew Miller escaped a bases-loaded, no-out jam in the seventh and got out of trouble in the eighth, preserving a 3-0 lead. In a matchup between the teams with baseball's longest champion- ship droughts, the Indians scored twice in the first inning off October ace Jon Lester and were on their way. Perez drove in four runs — he be- came the first No. 9 batter to homer twice in a Series game, and the first Indians player to accomplish the feat. He hit a three-run drive to put it away. Francisco Lindor added three hits, helping Cleveland manager Terry Francona to improve to 9-0 in the Series. Francona's success includes sweeps by his Boston teams in 2004 and '07. The Game 1 winner has taken the title in the last six Series and 17 of 19. Trevor Bauer, trying to come back from a sliced pinkie, starts Game 2 for the Indians on Wednesday night against Jake Arrieta. Because the forecast called for an increased chance of rain later in the evening, Major League Baseball took the ex- traordinary step of moving up the first pitch by an hour to 7:08 p.m. Kluber struck out eight in the first three innings. He combined with Miller and Cody Allen to fan 15.

Allie Adams was named player of the match for the Warriors. "Allie had a great game tonight, solid serving, season high 7 blocks in one match, 6 assists, 10 kills," said coach Zane Zelei.

VOLLEYBALL Warriors defeat Maxwell in four sets By Jimmy Durkin Bay Area News Group SARASOTA, FLA. Marquette King has a variety of skills he'll be working on this week as the Oakland Raiders stick around in Florida to prepare for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buc- caneers. Yes, one of those is his punt- ing. King currently ranks second in the NFL with a gross punting average of 50.6. But following his 27-yard make- shift run off a bad snap in the Raiders' win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, King thinks he could add another position to his repertoire. "You know, I could be a run- ning back," King said. "I'm going to start doing some more running back drills this week." There's also his golf game. He hit the links Monday with fellow specialists Sebastian Janikowski and Jon Condo. "I did all right," King said. "I'm one of the best golfers around here." Is he a better golfer than punter? "Way better golfer," he said. King continued his showcase of skills after his day of golfing Mon- day when he took over the lobby and banged out some notes on the piano. He picked up that talent a year and a half ago and now has a baby grand piano at his house. "When I see pianos in the lobby sometimes, I used to want to play RAIDERS Punter Kings is a man of many skills Nov.5dinnerwill commemorate school's fi h annual class Staff report ROSEVILLE The Flex Fastpitch softball team of Corning, com- peting in the US Specialty Sports Association, went undefeated, at 5-0, in the Pink Panther tourna- ment held Oct. 8-9 in Roseville.
