Ontheair Barr, who was named player of the game, came out in the second period to get the scoring started and Castle added a foul shot and a 3-pointer to put Corning up 17-9 before the Tigers went on a run and pulled within five at 21- 16. Castle and Barr were helped out by Elter Bright to stretch the Corning lead to 29-20 at the half. The Cardinals went up by as much as 10 in the third before the Tigers nar- rowed the gap to six at 36- 30 at the end of the period. The Cards started the fourthwitharuntogoback up to a 10-point margin and the Tigers struggled to make shots, keeping them from pulling any closer. "Oroville is a very good rebounding, physical team and I challenged my team to match that physicality," Zuppan said. "At times Oro- ville outmatched us in that aspect. I think down the stretch there, especially the fourth quarter, we kind of took it personally. We used our bodies and gave our bodies up and that was re- ally the difference." Castle led the Cardinals with 27 points, 14 rebounds and two blocks, Barr had 14 points, three assists and five rebounds, including a pair of 3s, Bright had six points and four rebounds, Salas had four points and five rebounds and Addie Galantine had two points. The No. 5 Cardinals will travel to Live Oak on Thursday to face the No. 4 Lions at 7 p.m. Live Oak had a bye Tuesday. Corning FROM PAGE 1 worked through, however." The union's decision was first reported by ESPN. "I'm OK with it. You sig- nal. I don't think that's a big deal," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. "For the most part, it's not chang- ing the strategy, it's just kind of speeding things up. I'm good with it." There were 932 inten- tional walks last year, in- cluding 600 in the National League, where batters are walked to bring the pitch- er's slot to the plate. "You don't want to get your pitcher out of a rhythm, and when you do the intentional walk, I think you can take a pitcher out of his rhythm," Girardi said. "I've often wondered why you don't bring in your shortstop and the pitcher stand at short. Let the shortstop walk him. They're used to play- ing catch more like that than a pitcher is." Agreement with the union is required for play- ing rules changes unless MLB gives one year ad- vance notice, in which case it can unilaterally make al- terations. Baseball Com- missioner Rob Manfred ex- pressed hope Tuesday that ongoing talks would lead to an agreement on other changes but also said clubs would reserve the right to act unilaterally, consistent with the rule-change pro- vision of the sport's labor contract. Some changes with video review can be made unilaterally, such as short- ening the time to make a challenge. "I know they were thinking about putting in a 30-second (limit) for managers to make a de- cision," Francona said. "I actually wish they would. I think it would hustle it up and if we can't tell in 30 seconds, maybe we shouldn't be doing it any- way." Pitchless FROM PAGE 1 Concussions The absence of Dale Earnhardt Jr. for 18 races last season raised aware- ness on concussions in racing, and NASCAR this year has beefed up its con- cussion policy in an effort to better detect head inju- ries. Danica Patrick, who raced for years in IndyCar before moving to NASCAR, estimated she's suffered a dozen concussions in her career. "Every time you crash you have a concussion on a varying degree, I'm sure," she said. "It is a little bit thought-provoking ... be- cause while we're not foot- ball players, we don't get the repeated hits like in succession over a short amount of time, but it's rough in the car and the hits are probably singu- larly bigger. "There's nothing better than having somebody like Dale Jr. going so far as to get out of the car for as long as he did and saying, 'Hey, I have a problem,' because it makes it more available for everyone else. I think we like to sweep it all un- der the rug as drivers like we feel fine and nothing is wrong, but it's our life." Turn 4 troubles Hendrick Motorsports has been admittedly ag- gressive in preparing for the Daytona 500, and it may be the cause of the problems the team has had in Turn 4 at Daytona Inter- national Speedway. Jimmie Johnson twice spun in that turn Sunday during an exhibition race, and pole-sitter Chase El- liott got loose in the same spot in practice. In last year's Daytona 500, both Elliott and Dale Earnhardt Jr. spun in Turn 4. "We can't sit still. We need faster cars. Everybody is working on it," Johnson said. "We were very aggres- sive in the (Clash) trying to create speed for the car, and I'm a guy that likes a loose race car so I was will- ing to roll dice." Johnson also noted that Alex Bowman and Kasey Kahne had no problems with Turn 4 in Sunday's race. "We have great notes to fall back on. We had a very good driving car in last year's 500, and then two teammates that didn't spin out in the Clash, so we have plenty of notes to go to, but we're definitely be- ing aggressive." Toyota teamwork A solid game plan got Toyota its first Daytona 500 victory last season, and the manufacturer wants to use that same teamwork this year during Speedweeks. It was on display during the Clash on Sunday when the Toyota entries ran 1-2-3-4 for most of the race. It remains to be seen if the same strategy will work in the Daytona 500. The Toyota fleet now includes a pair of rookies in Erik Jones and Daniel Suarez, and neither has much ex- perience in a Cup car. "Game plans don't nec- essarily all work out," said ToyotadriverMattKenseth. "You've got to have strong cars to do it. The car has to end up there, not be sep- arated by bad pit stops or strategy. I thought we had it lined up really good in the Clash. We had all four of us in a row for a while. "We just weren't quite fast enough." Race favorites? Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano teamed to win six of the last nine restric- tor-plate races, and Logano won the exhibition Clash on Sunday. It means Team Penske is a heavy favorite for Sun- day, and eager for the 500 to arrive. "I wish it was Sunday right now, I'm ready to go racing," Keselowski said. Austin Dillon praised the way Keselowski raced Sunday, and called a move Keselowski made where he went to the bottom, then the middle, then back to the bottom, "pretty wicked. That was a sweet move." Dillon called Logano, Keselowski and defending race winner Denny Hamlin the drivers to beat. "As a race car driver you always look to be better at certain things," Logano said. "When I first started speedway racing, I wasn't very good at all and I've worked really hard at it to become better. I'm confi- dent enough to say I'm the best race car driver out there, but I guess at the same time after the race I'm able to look back at the race and say, 'Why did I do that? I screwed this up. I did that wrong.' I'm able to still find a lot of things that I can be a lot better at." NASCAR FROM PAGE 1 utes together. Of them, McGee plus the Warriors' four All-Stars — Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green — was the best five- man group. In 126 minutes together, they had an offensive ef- ficiency rating of 124.4 (points per 100 posses- sions), a defensive rating of 92.2 and an NBA-best net rating of 32.1, outscor- ing opponents by 96 points in those 126 minutes. "Zaza's numbers are pretty good with that group, too," Kerr said. The Warriors' tradi- tional starting lineup — Pachulia plus the four All- Stars — has outscored op- ponents by 254 points in 508 minutes this season. They have an offensive ef- ficiency rating of 120.2, a defensive efficiency rat- ing of 97.2 and a net rat- ing of 23.0, the fifth best in the league among those 90 lineups with at least 100 minutes. "Everybody adds a lit- tle something different de- pending on who they're playing with," Kerr said. "…I don't always buy the numbers. The numbers can be deceiving." Those lineup efficiency stats are astronomical not because of the two centers, but because of the four mega-talents surrounding them. The Curry, Durant, Thompson, Green and An- dre Iguodala grouping has produced the fourth best net rating (24.5), mean- ing the four All-Stars com- prise three of the league's five best units. So regardless of the fifth man, the Warriors are go- ing to rumble opponents in the aggregate. "There are trade-offs with each guy," Kerr said. "They have strengths and weakness."
