Enterprise63, Lady Spartans 55 REDBLUFF TheRedBluff Lady Spartans led most of the game Tuesday night against the Enterprise Hor- nets, but a big fourth pe- riod gave the Hornets the win, 63-55. Jumping up by two in the first, the Spartans took a 30-25 lead into the half. They extended the lead to seven points in the third, but that's when the Hornets woke up, putting up 25 points while holding the Spar- tans to just 10. Jesse Miller led the Spartans with 18 points and seven rebounds, Lexi Pritchard had 10 points and six rebounds, Kylee Kitchell had eight points and five rebounds, Maggie Winning had six points and two rebounds, Carissa Twitchell had five points and eight rebounds, Me- gan Boone had five points and six rebounds and Ty- ler Ellenberger had three points. The Lady Spartans (11-4 overall, 1-1 league) are scheduled to host the Foot- hill Cougars (10-5 overall, 1-1 league) at 7 p.m. Friday. Basketball FROM PAGE 1 in the 30-40 percent range on the ballot. Bonds received 53.8 per- cent — the first time he has been listed on a majority of ballots. Clemens, who is more or less tied to Bonds in the minds of voters, saw a similar boost to 54.1 per- cent. The election of Selig, albeit by a different and much smaller voting body, and his role as overseer of baseball during the per- formance-enhancing drug era, likely had an impact on vote totals for candi- dates more directly linked to steroid use. Raines, who played nearly all his career in an era before steroid use was perceived to be widespread, receivedthepushheneeded in his 10th and final year of eligibility on the writers' ballot. He garnered 86 per- cent, easily picking up the 20 votes by which he fell short a year ago. Raines, 57, ranks fifth all time with 808 stolen bases, and he is the most efficient prolific theft artist in modern history. His 84.7 percent success rate ranks highest among all 74 ma- jor league players who have stolen at least 400 bases. But Raines didn't get the kind of quick jump among Hall of Fame voters that he often used to bedevil op- posing pitchers. Raines re- ceived just 24.3 percent in his initial year on the bal- lot in 2008 and appeared destined to crest no higher than near 50 percent be- fore a dogged campaign led by the analytics com- munity began to gain trac- tion with the electorate. A seven-time All-Star and two-time World Series champion, Raines won a batting title in 1986 (.334). He was his most domi- nant the following season, when he led the National League with 123 runs scored despite missing the first month of the sea- son due to a contract stale- mate that became a sym- bol of a shady collusion era when owners banded to- gether in an effort to sup- press free-agent salaries. (Raines received no offers even though he had just won a batting crown, and had to limp back to Mon- treal for a minimal raise.) Raines' candidacy also might have been slow to generate momentum be- cause of his involvement in the Pittsburgh Drug Trials, when he confessed to being a habitual cocaine user for a time in the early 1980s. Raines, who has been clean and sober for many years, once testified that he slid headfirst so as not to break vials of drugs that he kept in his back pocket. A different drug era caused a perception prob- lem for Bagwell, and al- though no proof exists that he used steroids to boost his numbers, his chiseled forearms and bat- tering-ram physique led to a whisper campaign that was loud enough to keep him out until the seventh ballot. An arthritic right shoul- der ended Bagwell's career after 15 seasons and kept him from compiling num- bers that would have made him a more reflexive Hall of Famer. He made just four All-Star teams. But he also finished with 449 home runs, won the NL MVP award in 1994 and posted rate stats — his WAR, or wins above replacement, is second to Albert Pujols among first basemen since World War II — that hint at an offensive career that stack him up among the game's greats. Bagwell, 46, never tested positive nor was he men- tioned in the Mitchell Re- port, baseball's attempt at a comprehensive review of transgressors in the ste- roid era. But the suspicions were enough to tamp down his candidacy before he surged to 71.6 percent last year. Last year's election of MikePiazza,anotherplayer linked by innuendo to ste- roid use, likely softened some of the Bagwell hold- outs as he easily gained the 12 votes he needed for en- shrinement while receiving 86.2 percent. Rodriguez, 45, becomes the first player elected to the Hall of Fame who played the majority of his career with the Texas Rangers. His election might have come as a mild surprise, if only because Jose Canseco accused him of steroid use in his book. Longtime San Diego Pa- dres closer Trevor Hoff- man, whose 601 saves rank second all-time to Mariano Rivera, continued to hover within a few votes of en- shrinement. One year af- ter receiving 67.3 percent as a first-year candidate, Hoffman received 74 per- cent — narrowly depriving San Diego of a celebratory moment within days of los- ing the NFL's Chargers. Hoffman stands an ex- cellent chance at induc- tion next year. So does out- fielder Vladimir Guerrero, who debuted with a robust 71.7 percent. Another candidate clearly building toward in- duction is former Seattle Mariners designated hit- ter Edgar Martinez. Hall FROM PAGE 1 "These two golf courses are harder than the other two," Reed said. "And I don't think it's as much as length as it is you can get away with some golf shots on the other ones. Here, you can get penalized for hitting a poor tee shot or poor iron shot. And the big- gest difference I feel like is for the amateurs. The amateurs over there, they could hit some loose shots and they're fine. Over here, when they hit a loose shot, they're really struggling and it just seems to make the rounds a little longer. And now if you're adding weather, some of these am- ateurs are going to strug- gle." Brendan Steele, the Safe- way Open winner from nearby Idyllwild, played the PGA West courses as a junior. He also played in a rain-plagued Golden State two-man team event. "That two-man team event, it actually dumped and we got cut down to 27 holes and barely got in nine holes the second day," Steele said. "So, it was re- ally, really bad. So, I have seen them that way. I may be one of the few guys in the field that has seen them that way."
