WEEK 5 FOOTBALL Corning hosts Orland in Game of the Week By Howard Fendrich The Associated Press WASHINGTON The San Francisco Giants and Washington Nationals both missed the postseason last year. That's pretty much where the similarities end heading into today's NL Division Series opener. Bruce Bochy has managed the Giants to two of the past four World Series championships. Na- tionals skipper Matt Williams is about to lead a team in the play- offs for the first time. The Giants have won eight consecutive postseason games, including an 8-0 wild-card vic- tory at Pittsburgh on Wednesday night. The NL East champion Nation- als, most of whom have never won a playoff series, spent Wednes- day at their home ballpark play- ing an intrasquad scrimmage be- tween groups they dubbed "The Face-Eaters" — a reference to Jay- son Werth's 2013 comment about showing up for a game "ready to eat somebody's face" — and "Team Alpha." It was dressed up to look and sound like the real thing: Fake crowd noise was piped in; videos were shown on the scoreboard; the game-day PA announcer in- troduced players; rookie reliever Aaron Barrett even sang the na- tional anthem. "All in all, it was good cama- raderie and good competition and got the juices flowing a little bit, which is what was needed," reliever Tyler Clippard said, re- ferring to the four-day break the Nationals will have had be- tween Sunday's regular-season fi- nale and the series start.

Among the five inductees in the Class of 2014 is Kelly Jackson. Jackson went from standout on the Lady Spartans softball di- amond to an induction into the Amateur Softball Association Hall of Fame. In 1979 as a sophomore at Red Bluff High School she was called up to the varsity softball team. She quickly became an All- League player and by her junior year was selected Most Valuable Player for the league after bat- ting .472 and playing stellar first base. In 1981 she captained the soft- ball and Lady Spartans basket- ball teams. Jackson received a full-ride scholarship to play softball at Arizona State University. She became a team captain and batted .300 and held a fielding per- centage of .979. In 1984 she earned an Ath- lete of the Week honor from the Western Collegiate Athletic Asso- ciation. She led Arizona State in sacri- fice hits and stolen bases in 1983. Following college Jackson joined the Redding Rebels, where she played for 17 years. The Rebels won three national championships with Jackson as their first baseman. That prompted her induction in to the ASA Hall of Fame in Oklahoma and the Shasta County Hall of Fame. Jackson is still involved in soft- ball as the owner and president of All American Softball, Inc. in West Sacramento. Of the athletes she has helped develop, more than 300 have gone on to major softball programs across the country. She is also the Junior Olympic commissioner for the Greater Sac- ramento Softball Association. The Hall of Fame members joining Jackson include Doug Dreier, Gale Gilbert, Bev Howard and Angie Weir Miller. Previous inductees to the Hall have been Kathy Long Brandt, Tammy Brown, Bob Grimm, Bill Jacobs, Mort Kaer, Doug Sale and Ed Stroman. The Booster Club has donated more than $23,000 to Spartans athletics this year. Tickets for the Oct. 11 dinner at the Red Bluff Community and Senior Center are $25. They are available through Spartan ath- letes, at ReMax Top Properties or by emailing spartanboosters@sb- cglobal.net. The night begins with a social hour at 5:30 p.m. followed by a tri-tip dinner at 6:30 p.m. The event is being sponsored by Cornerstone Community Bank.
