Ontheair Martinez-Beltran was 1-3 with 2 RBI and freshman Reghan Shannon was 1-2 with a double and 2 bases on balls. Bell got the win for Mercy, giving up 4 earned on 8 hits, striking out 8 Bulldogs and walking 5. Cheyenne Pilger took the loss, giving up 10 earned on 7 hits with 4 walks and 5 strikeouts. The Bulldogs struck first in the second game when Rodriguez, batting sec- ond in the first inning, hit a shot over the head of the retreating left fielder and came all the way around for an inside the park home run. The Warriors would tie it up in the second and tack on a run in the fifth and 2 more in the seventh for the win. Bell was 3-3 and scored twice, Trinity Kingwell went 2-4 with a double and a triple and Annie Feser went 2-3. Feser and Shep- pard each scored for the Warriors. Rodriguez's hit, scored as a triple with an error, was one of just three for the Bulldogs. Kami Van- doren and Kendall Wil- liams also got aboard and Vandoren got a steal. Bell got the win, giving up an earned run on 3 hits and a walk, while striking out 9. Pilger took the loss, giv- ing up 3 earned on 10 hits, walking 4 and striking out 6. The Warriors (3-3 over- all, 3-0 league) were in Burney Thursday and are scheduled to visit Ches- ter Tuesday to take on the Volcanoes (3-6-1 overall, 1-2 league). The Bulldogs (3-7 over- all, 1-4 league) are sched- uled to visit the Volcanoes Friday. CorningCardinals The Corning Lady Cardi- nals have had a good week on the road so far, beat- ing the Oroville Tigers 6-2 Tuesday afternoon and the Gridley Bulldogs 12-2 Wednesday. The Cardinals (7-7 over- all, 2-4 league) are sched- uled to visit Oroville Friday to take on the Las Plumas Thunderbirds (15-10 over- all, 4-2 league) at 4 p.m. Red Bluff Spartans The Lady Spartans (16-9 overall, 2-2 league), after a 2-0 win Tuesday over Pleas- ant Valley, are scheduled to visit Redding Friday for a 6 p.m. game against the Shasta Wolves (11-13 over- all, 1-4 league). So ball FROM PAGE 1 one move, bringing in Hunter Strickland to pitch and Joe Panik to play sec- ond base. More weirdness fol- lowed. Kiké Hernandez hit a foul pop and first base- man Buster Posey made a juggling catch with his back to the infield. Utley tagged and scored, and al- though it appeared that he left third base before Posey secured the ball, the Gi- ants' appeal was met with a safe call from umpire Bill Miller. The Giants decided not to use a replay challenge, for some reason. One of those weird au- tomatic intentional walks followed, and Justin Turner hit a two-run single that sent the crowd streaming for the exits. Strickland capped the inning by walk- ing in a run. Here are some more ob- servations from the after- noon: • The most impressive part of Christian Arroyo's past three games is that he is showing an ability to cover the plate and put the bat on the ball against a range of pitching styles. He got his first hit off Clayton Kershaw on Fri- day, jumping on a first- pitch fastball. He hit his tying home run Satur- day against Sergio Romo, extending his arms and barreling up a slider that wasn't far enough off the plate. His tying hit in the sixth inning Thursday came on a 1-1 curveball from Ju- lio Urias. Arroyo kept his hands back and dug out the pitch at the bottom of the zone, sending a line drive to center field. The hit followed an in- tentional walk to Buster Posey. Who knew a 21-year- old could be cut out to pro- vide lineup protection to a former NL MVP? • Urias, who has one of the most lethal pickoff moves in the game, stung himself in the sixth. He threw in the dirt while trying to surprise Brandon Belt,who haddrawnalead- off walk, and the ball rat- tled so far down the right field line that Belt was able to advance two bases. • Matt Moore continued to show that he will be a major factor in this rivalry. Not only did he strike out eight while holding the Dodgers to a run in seven innings, but he clearly had them guessing. Six of the strikeouts came on called pitches. Moore gave up a home run to the second batter of the game, Corey Seager, when his 0-2 pitch caught way too much of the plate. But he didn't make many more location mistakes. His most clutch work came in the seventh, after Chris Taylor singled and advanced on a wild pitch and a ground out. Moore froze Scott Van Slyke with a two-strike changeup at the extreme top of the zone (although Van Slyke didn't quite agree with the call), and then he struck out Cody Bellinger with a fast- ball as the rookie failed to check his swing. Moore's last pitch to Bellinger was his 104th and final pitch of the afternoon, and it was clocked at 94.1 mph. Giants FROM PAGE 1 "The great thing with Solomon is his versatil- ity," Lynch said. "One thing I challenged our defensive coordinator was: I want to articu- late a clear vision how we're going to play Solo- mon Thomas, and all our players. "… Neatest thing about Solomon is he's already an ultra productive player but has so much room to grow both in stature and play." Stanford coach David Shaw concurred while serving as a NFL Net- work analyst. "He's just an extraor- dinary young man and I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do at the next level," Shaw said . "This is a leader. He's exciting. He's fun to be around. But make no mis- take he's a competitor." Thomas is the high- est drafted Stanford de- fender ever. Of the Cardi- nal's 22 first-round draft picks, only two were de- fenders: linebacker Jeff Siemon (1972, 10th over- all, Minnesota Vikings) and cornerback Darrien Gordon (1993, 22nd over- all, San Diego Chargers). Thomas, although ver- satile enough to work on the edge, figures to line up more on the interior as the 49ers try rebounding from their worst defensive showing in franchise his- tory. Last year, the 49ers allowed the most points, touchdowns and rushing yards in history. Shaw said Thomas likely will be used as a defen- sive end on first down and then move inside on pass- ing downs. "Don't think he hasn't heard all the 'tweener' talk the last couple months," Shaw said. "He's ready to go." Armstead said Wednes- day it would be "cool" if the 49ers used their top pick once again on a defensive lineman. "Anytime you can play with talented defensive linemen, it makes your job easier," Armstead said. 49ers FROM PAGE 1 Scoreboard MLB NATIONALLEAGUE WEST DIVISION W L Pct GB Arizona 14 9 .609 _ Colorado 14 9 .609 _ Los Angeles 11 12 .478 3 San Diego 9 14 .391 5 Giants 8 15 .348 6 CENTRAL DIVISION W L Pct GB Chicago 12 9 .571 _ Milwaukee 12 11 .522 1 St. Louis 11 11 .500 11/2 Cincinnati 10 12 .455 21/2 Pittsburgh 9 12 .429 3 EAST DIVISION W L Pct GB Washington 16 6 .727 _ Philadelphia 11 9 .550 4 Miami 10 10 .500 5 Atlanta 8 12 .400 7 New York 8 13 .381 71/2 Wednesday's games Milwaukee 9, Cincinnati 4 Philadelphia 7, Miami 4 Pittsburgh 6, Chicago Cubs 5 Atlanta 8, N.Y.

With Alabama line- backer Reuben Foster still on the board and sliding amid concerns over an in- jured shoulder, the Raid- ers instead took a player in Conley who is dealing with a rape allegation stemming fromanincident earlierthis month at a Cleveland hotel. Conley recently released a statement through his at- torney claiming the accu- sations were "completely false" and he has yet to be charged with a crime. He's expected to be inter- viewed by police following the draft. As a football player, Con- ley is a 6-0, 195-pound cor- nerback with long arms who allowed a completion rate of just 37 percent at Ohio State. He ran a 4.44 in the 40-yard dash at the NFL scouting combine. Conley could conceivably step right in as the Raiders' nickel cornerback behind Sean Smith and David Am- erson, or push for a starting job ahead of one of the vet- erans. Both Smith and Am- erson signed lucrative deals last off-season, but their guaranteed money expires after this season. For the Raiders to make this pick, they had to be comfortable that Conley's situation will be resolved and he will be exonerated. According to the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Conley took and passed a polygraph test on Thurs- day.
